"Hawks. What happened the other day was unfortunate." Dabi's voice rings out through the phone as Hawk soars through the air.
"Yeah, agreed. Most the problems coulda been avoided though if you'd just given me a heads up. I get that plans change, but I would've liked to have dealt with things a little more efficiently." Hawks sighs soaring through the air.
"You're talking too much. You can't trace this call." Coldly, Dabi snaps scowling.
"Gimme a break. You gotta have more faith in me than that." Hawks lands on a rooftop only to be greeted by girls squealing from the road.
"Look! Hawks is on the phone!" A giddily girl points out.
"Who's he talking to? His girlfriend? Bombarda…?" One of the girls theorises.
"Please as if Hawks would date that thug!" A girl defensively disputes.
"Yeah it's obvious Hawks is too good for her!" Another angry girl glares at the other wondering.
"Not to mention Fatgum and Bombarda are so dating they are just so cute!" Another girl squeals smiling.
"It's a secret!" Hawks calls out placing his forefinger to his lips smiling sickly sweetly before taking off once more.
"Who is she, Hawks?" Teary eyed, the girls cry.
"All I want's for you to believe in me. I work with pros every day and there's one thing I know for certain. The profession of "hero" needs to be done away with." Hawks assures Dabi.
"No way you can cast me aside. You're reaching out to me like this because you know how much I'm worth to you. For now I'll keep playing the fool, then you'll focus more on how I can help you than the risks I may pose. It's in your interest to make good use of me. Hawks soars in the sky setting some feathers aside.
"This is your last chance." Dabi warns.
Knew it. Hawks smirks smugly.
"I'll have you show your loyalty. Not just to the League of Villains, but the entire the anti-establishment cause. Make it someone other than the number-one hero this time…maybe the number third one will do…she's a real pain in the ass." Dabi suggests unaware of Hawk's small smirk faltering from his words.
"We got a problem?" Dabi snaps Hawks out of his brief loop.
"No course not. It's an interesting suggestion is all." Amused, Hawks smiles strained.
"Just bring in the head of one of the top and we're fine." Dabi snaps before hanging up.
"Dabi contacted me again. He's still not convinced I'm on his side. My guess is someone's observing me and my conversations. It'd be smart to send everything in code from now on. I'll pinpoint the location of the Nomu's as soon as I can. That's all. I'm off." Hawks reports to the commission afterwards before taking off, heading off to who knows where…
"Oh that was fast…" Re-Destro turns to the door, stopping his meal with a familiar long haired laptop wielder.
"You told us to move at once though it doesn't seem he's spilling. We searched him but couldn't find any member list. He says he's already Re-Destroyed the lists." Skeptic admits to Re-Re-Destro.
"What a thorough guy! There's no doubt that broker Giran has information on the leak as the scout and supplier of the league of villains." Re-Destro smiles.
"Heheh are you serious…I'm surprised you tracked me down…I was just wondering who could possibly have the free time…to think it would be the balding president of detnetrat co. let me tell ya old man I've always resented you, you've been a thorn in my side ever since I started out. The market was a mess thanks to your goody two shoes company y'know." Giran battered beaten bloodied bruised smiles as he is forced into the room.
"How much do you want?" Re-Destro queries.
"Ya got it all wrong old man business is somethin' ya do face to face. I ain't gonna shake hands with anyone I don't like guys who gotta resort to violence are no good. Whether I know anything about the league or not I ain't telling a thing ya hear. If you wanna ask me where the members are try askin' your self where you went wrong in your life first." He explains to them.
"It looks like this will be the start of a fruitful business partnership…" Re-Destro smiles.
"Well I've begun to question my life decisions.." Basil grimaces grunts from the gigantic hand of Machia holding him up as the tears freely fall onto the bloodied battered beaten boy soaked to the brim.
"No way they're too small why all for one? This ain't enough why!?" Sobbing, the giant that is Machia crying holding both the limp bloodied compress in his hand with Basil being held in the other.
"Please have mercy…come at me Bruh I ain't done yet!" Twice grunts grimaces on the floor.
That arm…will destroy…all things…
Before we resume where we left off let's have a look at our current situation those who hate chocolate and those who love chocolates. Those with all sorts of values we've got 'em all.
"How did you get in!?" The robed figures with skulls demand from the league entering the manor.
"These guys are the league of villains!" Another of the robes recognises.
These guys are the church of racial cleanliness, mutant excursionists or crc for short they're living fossils. As their name implies they're a group of scum who spend their days discriminating against mutant type humans by the way the word mutant is not really a good word. Sure we all use it on a daily basis but you'd best be careful using it in a more formal setting.
"Looks like some lizards have arrived how filthy." One of the robed sneers scowling at Spinner oblivious to the snake boy behind them until feeling a pair of hands hold their head, the swift sharp crack echoing throughout the room taking everyone aback.
"Oops." A small sadistic smirk crosses Orochi's lips at the fallen body below beneath his feet.
"Brother Micheal! You filth!" Furious, they all turn to glare at Orochi who simply smirks shrugging just as they draw out their respective weapons, they jolt up at the crisp click of ringing metal.
"We're a little strapped for cash right now you see. Stealing just ain't stylish if possible I'd like to avoid it too. We're looking for things we can sell. Is this expensive?" Compress asks as he takes the spotlight off said snake.
"This is a sacred place! Filthy sinners need to get the hell-argh!" The robed figure soon screams from the swift slash of a blade, blood swiftly shoots out of the fallen figure of black.
"So…sleepy." Orochi yawns.
"You filthy beast!" They turn to glare at Orochi once again.
"Hmm…so said your mother last night." Orochi smirks suavely.
"What did you say about my mother!? As if she'd sacrifice her pure blood with someone whose blood is as dirty as yours!" One raises a staff of candles about to hit him when…
"We'll get the hell out once we're done…if you don't want to stay too long shut up and stay away." Shigaraki soon strides in grabbing the staff, watching as it crumbles as the shell shocked figure soon crumbles with it as the rest of the league take care of the robed figures.
My name is Spinner, a member of the league of villains today was just another day of partaking in criminal activities.
"There's nothing of value here." Compress looks around the newly scarlet stained room.
"Is religion not a profitable industry?" Twice wonders while opening a safe.
"Not anymore I'm afraid…" Orochi stretches.
"Ah! It broke!" Toga looks over at her weapon.
"AND WHERE ARE WE GONNA GET THE FUNDS FOR THAT!?" Spinner snaps scowling.
"My prophetic has been awfully squeaky lately too let's have Giran replace them for us." Compress concedes.
"We could put butter on it." Orochi lies down on the bodies below acting like a make quick bed of sorts, rubbing his hues.
"Excuse you?" Compress looks down at Orochi.
"Butter is a lubricant like oil is plus you'll taste nicer." Orochi takes one of the skull masks fiddling with it.
"I'll taste nastier you mean and it my prosthetic you don't eat them!" Compress frowns down at Orochi as the group then retreat after collecting what they could.
"How long are we gonna live like this?" Spinner furrows his brow at Shigaraki as they all return to base.
"Until it's over." Shigaraki answers.
"If we had worked with the eight precepts we'd be eating sushi right now." Compress points out.
"While Orochi would be i a cage having his poison sucked out." Shigaraki states.
"Thanks again for that guys." Orochi remarks nibbling on his tail curled in on himself in the corner.
"To think that the group that put the whole country into disarray is now in this state I can't bear to face all those people who look up to us." Compress tuts.
"People look up to you?" Orochi says surprised.
"You must be joking." Shigaraki adds.
"This is cute I'm wearing it." Toga tries on the necklace they found.
"Whoa it looks so good you look like an old hag throw it out!" Twice responds.
"What's the point in necklaces? I don't get them they just get in the way." Orochi grumbles nuzzling into his tail.
"What the hell everyone's here…am I the only one earnestly tryin' to recruit new members?" Dabi slides the door open.
"Aren't you just going around burning everyone to a crisp have you ever brought back a single member?" Twice points out.
"Everyone is garbage the streets are filled with trash just living their lives without any kind of goals or ambitions." Dabi dismisses.
"Maybe your taste in people just sucks." Toga smirks smugly.
"You of all people can shut up. Oi Orochi." Dabi wanders over to the sleepy snake curling further in on himself.
"…Sleepy…" Sleepily, Orochi nuzzles into his nail.
"Dumbass you've eaten anything or what?" Dabi scowls.
"Can't…I'll die if I eat too much…" Orochi grumbles.
"You still need to eat dumbass." Dabi reminds him.
"Say that to me in an hours time or something I don't know…" Orochi whines whimpering weakly.
As you can this is the league's everyday life. Since it's winter Orochi's begun his bermation making him sleep a lot more, it's nothing the others can really do about it most of the time he's awake enough to keep up but there have been moment…
Spinner eyes the sleepy state of Orochi.
"So it's been about a month since Kurogiri was captured. He left us the power to do so but he ended up failing and thanks to that finding this doctor guy has been rough sailing." Shigaraki nibbles on a cracker.
"Tomura seems lonely without Kurogiri around doesn't help that Orochi has been out of it most of the time too. Hey what kind of person is that doctor?" Toga takes note of as Twice tries to help her click the necklace on.
"He was sensei's physician a real cautious guy I've only ever talked him through the computer at our hideout. He's the one who created and managed all those nomu." Shigaraki explains to Toga.
"No matter how cautious he is he could at least help us out a bit more y'know! His patients beloved disciple is running in circles right now!" Compress complains.
"He didn't deny he feels lonely though." Toga points out.
"Tomura is feeling lonely!" Twice adds.
"Mmmm…" Orochi silently nuzzles into his tail.
"Hey…where exactly are we heading? I'm here cause I was inspired by Stain!" Spinner snaps.
"What?" Shigaraki turns to Spinner.
"I grew up in the country surrounded by conversative values. My life was hell cause I was some kind of lizard guy I thought that it was only natural my heart was filled with nothing but emptiness. But that evening I saw Stain's last stand on TV he wanted to change the world all by himself! I realized for the first time that this world needed to change I couldn't stand by and do nothing! And so I came here!" Spinner reminds Shigaraki .
"…What? So you weren't just some hollow cosplayer?" Dabi remarks.
"That's right I have nothing else to my name! That's why I can't understand this rut we're in I thought you were going to open up a world of change answer me Shigaraki where the hell are we heading towards!?" Spinner scowls snapping snatching Shigaraki by his cloak cross.
"Like I said…!" Shigaraki begins but everyone jolts up at the tremor suddenly erupting before the league.
"Urgh…what now!?" Orochi whines as they all go outside.
"Finally I found you. I've been waiting for a signal this whole time. So you are the successor for all for one?" Machia greets the league taken aback at the sheer sight of the giant before them.
"…Am I dreaming or…" Orochi blinks baffled.
"This is real." Dabi confirms.
"Oh…crapbaskets." Orochi whimpers when a hand suddenly snatches him up.
"Orochi!" Twice and Toga call out, Dabi's hands burst into flames frowning at the giant crushing Orochi.
"Hah jokes on you I'm a invertebra-argh!" Orochi begins cockily however he soon falters from the tight hold of Machia making him wince when Machia suddenly throws him into a nearby wall.
"What's the meaning of this?" Dabi scowls up at the beast before him.
"So this is the power that Kurogiri ought out to find. This is the fighting power that sensei left for us." Shigaraki smirks up at the beast.
"For all for on I devote my everything well the successor show me whether you are worthy or not." Machia orders.
"…What?" Shigaraki does a double take as next the league knew they were all in a world of pain.
And so the fight dragged on but….
"WHY CAN'T YOU KEEP UP? MASTER WHYY? HE'S TOO WEAK!" Sobbing, Machia cries his heart out after tossing Compress to the ground.
"Is…is he crying?" Confused, Orochi blinks befuddled.
"Seems so…" Dabi huffs.
"What the hell is going on with this guy?" Spinner snaps scowling.
"I don't get it either!" Shigaraki scowls as just then…
"You seem like you're stuck…Shigaraki." The radio Machia had around him speaks up taking everyone aback.
"Doctor…" Shigaraki recognises.
"Doctor? Is this the doctor we've been searching for!?" Spinner assumes.
"It seems like all your little friends are with you, staying healthy I hope." The doctor greets them.
"Yeah although I might be minced meat one second from now. The hell's your problem!?" Shigaraki demands scratching his neck.
"This is gigantomachia he once supported all for one as his bodyguard. And thus is one of the people all for one trusts most he possess otherworldly strength!" The doctor introduces to the league.
"CLEARLY! EEP!" Orochi squeaks as a huge earthquake of sorts occurs as Dabi grabs his tail, swinging him out of harms way.
"Is that Orochi on the line? How is he handling Barmthia?" The doctor perks up at the voice.
"Not well…" Shigaraki grunts.
"Ah of course noteless Machia here possesses otherworldly stamina as well and is able to wield multiple quirks without needing modification." The doctor explains to Shigaraki.
"I want to accept him I really do but I just can't all for one! I can't accept this little punk!" Machia refuses.
"As all for one's power and influenced was weakened by all might and he predicted his imminent defeat. He hid gigantomachia such a meticulous man this all happened before he even took you in! he did all of this to ensure that no matter what may happen to him, his dream and his will would live on." The doctor explains to them.
"I don't know if it just my imagination but this doesn't seem like a nice present to me." Dabi grunts getting out his flames.
"Good eye Dabi! You're exactly right you see Gigantomachia's loyalty is simply too strong for his own good and as a result he's in despair! He's desperately at the huge gap between his former master and Shigaraki." The doctor approves.
"So you're telling us to give it out all until he warms up to us?" Dabi spews flames at him.
"Can't we just get him one of those greeting baskets or some sort of crappy basket? Heck a happy meal could work they make you happy it's in the title!" Orochi rambles.
"I'm afraid that's impossible right now anyway." Compress by his side says.
"Cause we're poor? Wait we're not even rich enough to afford a happy meal!? My god!" Orochi realises horrified before both are throwing back by another tremor from the giant rushing at them, Dabi still spewing flames but…
"It's not working Dabi!" Toga states the obvious.
"…Machia." A familiar voice comes through the radio taking everyone aback as Machia stops nuzzling the radio.
"Is…is he nuzzling that radio?" Orochi blinks baffled.
"There's a recording of all for one's voice he's calmed down now yes?" The doctor assumes.
"Holy...and I thought spinner was weird with his obsessions with people." Orochi snickers.
"…I don't want this thing." Spinner scowls.
"And I want to sleep." Orochi whines, curling into some rubble before being grabbed by Dabi by the collar dragging the whining boy to stand.
"Oh you don't? Even after all this you still think you can obtain anything just by wishing for it? you've spent too much time with Kurogiri! Open your eyes already." The doctor orders.
"What the hell doc? That's awfully cold of you." Shigaraki huffs.
"Hrm a moment please heave ho." The doctor exclaims.
"Heave h-?" Confused, Orochi begins before beginning to shake, suddenly spewing silver.
"Orochi?" Compress concerned turns only then to gasp gurling on a similar silverish substance.
"What's he doing? What's going on?" Toga worriedly watches the two when…
"This geezer can't get to the point b-urp." Twice burps before grimacing when spewing silver.
"Jin stop burping that's gro-burp!" Toga whines before gasping as she spews silver as well.
"This is…the same quirk all for one used back in Kamino…why now!?" Compress recognises.
"Now let's have a little talk shall we?" The doctor decides as next the league knew they were teleported away.
"What is this place?" Dabi looks around at the numerous test tubes of nomu's littered about the place.
"This place is…" Shigaraki begins but…
That stinks." Toga's complaint cuts him off.
"Huh…female nomus are a thing now? Wait…do they even have gender? Eh who knew it. Boop! Boop!" Orochi smiles poking at the glass tubes of nomu's.
"Orochi stop poking the glass." Shigaraki sighs.
"But it's fun." Orochi whines.
"Will it be fun to deal with a nomu in your state right now?" Compress brings up.
"…Fair point." Orochi stops poking the glass.
"Now that I'm looking they're a little different than normal." Dabi observes.
"Hoho!? So you can tell the difference ohoho you really do have a good eye! Indeed they are different! These children are worlds apart from those low ed products yes they're high end! My super nomu that are one step closer to a masterpiece! Amazed aren't you? Compared to the old Nomu they're a whole new breed!" The doctor's voice calls out from the dark depths of the lab.
"Doctor I've been searching for you because I had a request of my own I want you to duplicate a certain bullet for me." Shigaraki takes out the bullet but…
"Your hair's grown longer Shigaraki." The doctor takes note of.
"I said he should tie it up man buns or ponytails just work well with him." Orochi smiles pointing to Shigaraki.
"Are your father and everyone else well?" The doctor asks.
"Yeah." Shigaraki nods.
"That's the doctor? I can't make him out with that backlight." Compress frowns.
"STAY AWAY! If you violate this rule I'll return you to your original location immediately and have gigantomachia obliterate you. I'll be the one who approaches you when I see fit!" The doctor threatens.
"…He does know I can see him right?" Orochi's hues narrow.
"Just let the doctor have this." Shigaraki sighs.
"Fiiiine." Orochi whines craning his head back.
"Hoho my apologies but do not approach me imprudently understood? I'll be the one who approaches you when I see fit." The doctor tells them.
"You're the one who called us here in the first place you crazy old mn." Twice points out.
"I don't want to reveal my address so I transported you here myself." The doctor says to them.
"Can we just get down to business already?" Dabi huffs.
"Other than Shigaraki and Orochi I suppose this is our first meeting yes? Although we may have crossed paths somewhere before just like gigantomachia I am one of all for one's close aides daruma, Ujiko although I just came up with that name on the spot. Now then Shigaraki the reason I summoned you here was out of respect for a compromise. I made with all for one. My technology these children and my very life were all offers too…" The doctor rants as Orochi's hues begin to dip down a soft snore soon escaping his lips until…
"Wake up." Shigaraki slaps Orochi awake.
"Up up!" Said snake jolts up as the doctor finishes his rant noting the doctor's glare surprisingly not at him but at…
"You've accomplished nothing to do tell. What are your worthless twenty something, the trash of society going to show me Tomura Shigaraki?" The doctor demands glaring at Shigaraki.
"I…can't remember much…from before I met you and Sensei. And yet…" Shigaraki looks up at the ceiling.
"Nobody came to save you did they? It must have been so scary…it must have been so painful…surely a hero will, just leave it to heroes everyone used excuses like that to ignore yo didn't they? It's fine now you have me." All For One's voice echoes in his head.
"When I wear everyone my age flows out ever since that day I've been thinking day in, day out what I remember most clearly is Sensei's embrace until then I was an empty shell. It's strange when I wear everyone I feel sick to my stomach and want to throw up but my heart becomes calm how strange is that? My anger keeps pouring out of it all that's left in me are a few fragments of those visions from the past but even so there's a gaping hole in my heart. I feel a constant weight on my shoulders. Even if we were to Re-Destroy this hero society even if we became rulers of the underworld this hole in my heart won't disappear. What I really despise is everything, everything that breathes pisses me off. In that case why don't I just Re-Destroy it all, everything once and for all. You'll be able to see the most beautiful horizon so lend me your strength doctor, I'll show you everything from heaven to hell." Shigaraki explains looking down at his hand.
"Shigaraki…" Orochi's hues soften at him alongside Spinner.
"Sounds like something out of a child's pipe dream! I'm impressed you could say all that with a straight face! Alright I'm in I'll led you my strength Shigaraki Tomura let's see what you can do. After all villains are those who bring pipe dreams to life." The doctor scoffs.
"What? So easy…" Compress exclaims.
"Tomura has some pretty disturbing things on his mind huh." Toga adds.
"Yeah…think if I said my pipe dream is to have a blanket he'll grant it?" Orochi jokes.
"Hey does that mean the things I like will get Re-Destroyed too?" Toga wonders out loud.
"…No, no, no he wouldn't, she's mine after all...I have to save her I have to bring her into this new era with Hikaru as well!" Orochi cackles crazed.
"The wishes of my comrades are separate do as you like." Shigaraki confirms calmly.
"Alright!" Toga and Orochi dace but he soon falls asleep.
"Orochi stop you're slobbering on me!" Toga whines while she pushes him to ground but he simply sleeps making the rest sweat drop.
"Haha you're even more than I expected Shigaraki." The doctor chuckles.
"Bastard you were messing with me…" Shigaraki scowls.
"I wanted to see how much you've grown with my own two eyes I had planned to cooperate from the start these little guys here are part of that and what's more I've been preparing some research for you however I won't hand it over just yet. You guys are weak that's a fact." Frankly, the doctor tells them how it is.
"Hey it's not Orochi's fall he's sleep!" Twice tries to defend him as said nose bubble he forms pops from the mention of his name.
"Oh sure snake pile on that barnaiton guy…." Orochi slurs sleepily salvia dripping down the side of his face.
"Think of it as a test Orochi. I'll have you guys attain the least bare minimum. Unlike me that thing isn't so naive as to accept you so easily from the bottom of its heart. Gigantomachia make him submit to you only then will I give you my everything. If you want it grab it with your own two hands." The doctor explains to him.
"Ah I see that was a hell of a long tutorial." Shigaraki huffs.
"Can we go into the open world yet?" Orochi slurs slightly.
"I don't give a bit about the leader's innermost thoughts I move on my own accord got it?" Dabi reminds them all.
"He's just salty his flames didn't work." Toga smirks.
"Shut up crazy I'm on the verge of bringing in some good members." Dabi huffs.
"On the verge of scorching them you mean." Orochi scoffs.
"In that case I want Dabi to help me test out these high ends his tastes his asehtic sense they're perfect such a strong connection." The doctor decides.
"Were you even listening…" Dabi turns to glare at the doctor.
"Dabi and the doctor sitting in a tr-" Orochi snickers however…
"FINISH THAT SENTENCE I DARE YOU!" Dabi growls.
"K-I-S-S-I-N-EEEP!" Orochi continues cackling as Dabi goes to strike however Toga tugs Orochi out of harms way while he giggles gleefully to himself.
"Well the hurry up send us back there I'm suddenly feeling pretty motivated." Shigaraki orders.
"From here on out use these to contact me. Now then John send them to gigantomachia." The doctor hands them some chips which they take as the doctor adjusts the nomu on his lap called John spewing silver as the rest of the league are teleported back to Machia.
"Yo the future king has returned!" Shigaraki smirks smugly.
"A king is one who commands respect, someone who is strong." Machia grunts.
"Which I guess is what we'll have to be." Orochi huffs rolling his shoulder as the battle begins once again however…
"Too weak!" Machia easily deals with them, throwing Shigaraki in the air.
"Once you're up in the air you're full of opening!" Twice and Compress then rush in to strike.
"Too weak!" Machia however repeats the line.
"The future king is getting his ass kicked." Toga observes from afar as Shigaraki deals with Machia once again with the league rushing on.
"Same as usual." Spinner in his casual clothes with Toga agrees.
"How long do you think he'll last this time?" Orochi couldn't help but wonder scratching his cheek however he is met by Spiner's still silence.
"About a month and a half has passed however Gigantomachia still has not accepted Shigaraki for 48 hours and 44 minutes straight he would attack without rest after that he would take a three-hour nap before resuming his attack yet again. During the fight his body would grow large ad he would easily pinpoint where Shigaraki was hiding according to him, his senses of hearing and smell are incredible acute to the point where he could counter eve if you attacked him in his sleep. This is how the last month and a half has passed Shigaraki hardly slept at all it would seem Orochi has been doing all the sleeping for him and thought his life danced in the hands of the giant he was always smiling for some reason.
"And then there was us because his sole focus was on his master's successor we weren't pursued even if we broke away from the fight as such we took shifts settling in and out as we worked hard to chip away at the beast.
"Oh pretty coat Toga." Orochi takes note of the coat.
"Aw thank you it's so warm too your moment slow down if you're cold too you know?" Toga takes Orochi's hand.
"I guess." Spinner sighs.
"Yeah now come on Orochi." Toga tugs at the curled up snake however…
"I'm fine here." Orochi remains seated to the ground.
"How?" Toga frowns down at Orochi.
"The sun is shining down on this rock so long as the rock stays I stay." Orochi dictates as just then…
"WATCH OUT!" Spinner calls out throwing Orochi into the air as said rock is Re-Destroyed.
"GOD DAMN IT MACHIA!" Mad, Orochi's hues flare ruby red glaring at the beast before throwing himself into the fight.
"I love how cute these a line coats are and Orochi's' scared screams are what I love too. I love Stain, I also love Deku and Ochaco too I'm happy as long as I can fall in love a lot." Blushing, Toga smiles.
"Polyamory for the win whoohoo!" Basil bellows before being thrown back by Machia
"Didn't you join because you loved Stain or something not a trace of him lingers within the league anymore so why are you still here?" Spinner sighs.
"Such a free spirit." Spinner sighs putting his mask on.
"He fell asleep." Compress takes note of Machias state as the group rest for now.
"Wish I could do that." Orochi grumpily limps over.
"Then do it." Shigaraki snaps.
"I was until someone ruined the perfect spot for me!" Mad, Orochi snaps back.
"When did that monster last eat?" Compress couldn't help but ask.
"When was the last time you heard of a entire village being gobbled up?" Orochi slurs scowling.
"Is Tomura still alive?" Toga couldn't help but blurt out.
"Yeah his movements have gotten much slower compared to the beginning we've been way closer I swear I'm gonna make that damn gorilla kneel before me." Shigaraki smiles.
"Why can't we just use Orochi's venom?" Compress couldn't help but wonder.
"Teeth cant make a dent in his thick skin besides his body is too big, my body can't produce anymore for a long while with those yakuza bastards sucking me dry…" Orochi slurs slightly nuzzling into a nearby rock.
"Hm? It's from Giran!" Twice's phone goes off.
"What? It's never connected when I call him!" Compress complains.
"Probably cause you keep complaining about your arm." Orochi shrugs.
"Even after he introduced me to the league he's always been looking out for me he's a really nice guy!" Twice answers the call.
"Ask him if he provides damage insurance." Compress calls out.
"Case and point." Orochi huffs from the back.
"YOU BASTARD WHY DIDN'T YOU PICK UP MR COMPRESS' PHONE CALLS!? YOU'RE THE WORST!" Twice yells at the phone.
"Ah that's entirely my fault. He's not to blame this is the league of villains Twice, Bubaigawara Jin right?" The refined voice calls out taking everyone aback.
"A voice changer…" Compress recognises.
"…New phone who dis?" Twice frowns down at the phone.
"Are you in a position where you can check the news right now?" The person asks them.
"Where's Giran!?" Twice demands from them before Compress snatches said phone from Twice.
"I'd like for you all to take a look." The voice from the phone says as they do just that.
"Breaking news an update to yesterday's story another finger have been discovered." The reporter reports.
"Finger…?!" Spinner says shocked.
"It was three days ago when the first middle finger was found…" The report continues…
"Of course it's the bloody middle." Orochi peers over Compress's shoulder.
"Pointing at the headquarters of the villain group, the eight precepts of death following this in front of the terminal at Hosu City the index finger was found yesterday on the highway where the police escort ambush incident occurred, the ring finger was recovered. Currently it's believed that all fingers come from the same victim many of the victim's supposed possession have also been scattered at this site including a scarf, sunglasses and various pieces of clothing. The police believe that this is an act of organised crime deliberated constructed to send some sort of message and at Kamino ward ground zero the thumb was found." The reporter continues on regardless.
"They're all the places we've shown up at." Compress takes note of.
"Finally today in central Fukuoka fresh in recent memory from Endeavour's fierce battle the pinky was discovered." The reporter continues…
"Allow me to introduce myself league of villains. I am the supreme leader of the liberation army Re-Destro ." Re-Destro introduces himself to the league.
"So after the yakuza is the liberation army huh…is retro culture trending or something? Come to think of it hasn't that been selling well lately don't get too carried away by passing fades." Shigaraki dismisses.
"Haha you know your stuff! But don't get it wrong we're the ones who created that fad." Re-Destro smiles eyeing the wine bottle in his hand.
"That seem fun! What have you done with Giran? What's your objective!? That guy's a real good guy you know!?" Twice demands.
"He's here and still alive of course my objective is the liberation of special abilities. To create a world where humans can be human and unleashed 100% of their power to redefine the boundaries that have governed us to this day." Re-Destro pours himself some wine.
"So…he wants a world that won't last five seconds…" Orochi deadpans.
"That doesn't sound like its particularly against what we're doing." Compress points out.
"Are they trying to borrow our reputation like the yakuza did?" Toga frowns.
"I didn't know we were that famous." Orochi admits.
"Yeah I mean they mainly wanted you and your venom." Toga reminds Orochi.
"Release Broker and call back later I'm busy right ow I'll lend your little revolutionary group an ear once I'm done." Shigaraki huffs.
"In that case hear me out while you're still on break. Firstly I'm not letting him go he's a hostage after all. I've heard you guys have pretty tight connections he's truly an admirable man he poses such a strong work ethic up until now he must have lived his life constantly hiding in the darkness from the police and heroes. And that's precisely why he's fallen behind in his pursuit outside of that darkness. Quite a praiseworthy man not only did he fully and completely Re-Destroy the member list even as his fingers were chopped off one by one he never let out a peep let alone any information. Little revolutionary group!? Please, spare me the jokes we've waited for so long spreading our roots and making preparations. We've finally managed to recount the data that he so thoroughly Re-Destroyed. Such fruitless resistance is worthy of praise we the soldiers of the liberation arm have long been preparing for the coming days over many generations and now we have 116.516 soldiers of the liberation army hidden throughout society ready to strike at any give moment." Re-Destro explains as he sips his wine with Giran tied up to a chair in the back.
"He's got to be kidding…" Spinner assumes.
"Niigaia huh pretty deep in the mountains aren't you all? It's too late our satellite cameras have already locked onto you where you go now we'll know where you are. The league of villains Hawks, Endeavour, Bombarda, Best Jeanist, Edgeshot, one word from us ad they'll instantly have you surrounded." Re-Destro explains to the group as Orochi jolts up Toga takes note of concern clear in her tone when noting his furrowed features.
"Sure is kind of you to give us a warning. What do you want bastards?" Shigaraki remarks eyeing the furrowed fretful frown of Orochi, grip tightening tensing around him at the thought of a certain hero.
"No one other than Re-Destro is worthy of becoming the icon of liberation you all have simply become too popular. So falls at our hands and light the beacon of the liberation' army resurrection. Those fingers are our pledges no need for any kind of bothersome negotiation let us fight! Liberate your abilities you'd do well to come immediately to Deika city in Aichi. If you come we'll release Giran then you'll have to make a choice either fight with us and fall at our hands or fall at the hands of the heroes. What will you choose Tomura Shigaraki?" Re-Destro questions Shigaraki making his war declaration against the league.
"Locked onto by a satellite we've been marked if they have the assets to pull that off we're in checkmate. We haven't even finished taming the gorilla yet what should we do?" Compress looks up at the sky towards the satellite tracking them.
"Best Jeanist...we can't…we can't have them find us!" Frightened, Orochi whimpers weakly, shaking quivering quaking at the thought of the blonde.
"WHAT IS THERE TO CONSIDER!? NOTHING! THAT INTESTINE LIKE SCARF! THOSE ROUND GLASSES! WHO ELSE HAS SUCH TERRIBLE TASTE!" Gin snaps scowling at the group snapping Orochi out of his thoughts.
"…I thought they were hot" Orochi frowns.
"You think everything's hot." Toga frowns.
"As if you're any better than me." Orochi frowns at Toga.
"JUST SHUT UP FOR A MINUTE WOULD YA!? GIRAN WAS THE ONE WHO GAVE ME A PLACE TO BELONG! LET'S GO SAVE HIM RIGHT NOW!" Jin yells.
"…You stupid?" Orochi blinks befuddled.
"Orochi's right. They may have killed him they may have bee lying this whole time." Toga points out.
"Yeah we never heard his voice let alone any proof of him still breathing." Orochi throws in.
"BUT THE PROBABILTY ISN'T ZERO! AS LONG AS THERE'S THE SLIGEST CHANCE HE'S ALIVE WE SHOULD GO!" Twice insists.
"You're telling us to charge in without any kind of plan? Calm down. " Compress tells Twice.
"For all we know this could be a trap." Orochi points out.
"You're always like that when it comes to your friends." Compress sighs.
"IT'S BECAUSE HE'S GOT NOBODY ELSE! AHHH!" Twice cries calling out when his mask is swiftly swiped off by Shigaraki.
"Shigaraki !" Orochi scowls at Shigaraki , concern clear in his tone towards the shouting screaming Twice holding his head bare before the rest.
"I've got an idea. Doctor have you been listening?" Shigaraki continues on regardless
"You guys have certainly been popular recently." The doctor responds.
"I'll split." Twice whimpers.
"You'll be fine." Orochi says softly as Toga and he help Twice try to calm down.
"To think the liberation army is still alive I was quite shocked myself. You guys are certainly stirring up activity in the underworld." The doctor chuckles.
"I get it we ca use the high end nomu that Dabi was using!" Compress comes up with.
"That's not happening the other children have not even reached their testing phase. If only Dabi hadn't failed to retrieve Hoody's body without AFO around production has become much harder." The doctor swiftly shuts said idea down.
"It's alright that wasn't what I was thinking anyway." Shigaraki smirks.
"Then what are you thinking?" Orochi furrows his brow befuddled.
"Yes and why did you call the doctor?" Compress presses.
"How much longer until that giant wakes him up?" Shigaraki pries.
"If nobody bothers him in around two hours and 35 minutes." Compress predicts.
"Doctor where's Dabi right now?" Shigaraki queries.
"Right now he's on the border between Mie and Shiga right now." The doctor reports.
"He's in a good place alright I'll leave the transport to you let's go." Shigaraki smiles.
"We're just charging in!? We don't know anything about the opponent how many are there!? What'll we do if they seriously have 110,000 people!" Spinner frets.
"This is bad, bad, bad…" Twice whimpers weakly, the tears freely flowing as Orochi holds him.
"Just hold on…" Orochi rubs his back as Twice clings to him.
"After a month of fighting I can tell that thing isn't inviable its just got much on HP." Shigaraki sighs.
"So it's like snorlax or Blissy." Brow furrowed, Orochi summarises.
"Exactly." Shigaraki points to Orochi.
"Is that what you're planning? He can easily pinpoint Shigaraki no matter where he's hiding." Shigaraki queries.
"We'll make gigantomachia fight them for us even a giant like him would get a bit tired from all that." Shigaraki smiles.
"That's cheating! What if it was actually all a bluff what then!?" Orochi worries.
"Then those dumbasses should just die." Shigaraki shrugs.
"Are we really going?" Spinner frowns.
"That's what I said isn't it?" Shigaraki stands.
"To be fair it would be like two birds one stone…I miss eating birds." Orochi sighs sadly silver soon spewing out of him as he mid sentence is teleported to the place.
"Then eat!" Dabi speaks up from the back brow furrowed at the group that had teleported over to him.
"Can I eat your bird from your hat then Compress?" Orochi pries.
"No!" Compress snaps.
"I don't wanna die!" Orochi whines.
"I'll Re-Destroy it all." Shigaraki smiles.
"Okay I'm masked I'm whole!" Twice stands when given back his mask.
"This is the place huh not too big not too small." Spinner says.
"It's jussst right." Orochi jokes
"I love the atmosphere. It pisses me off!" Twice hollers.
"T-minues 1 hour and 40 minutes until it wakes up. Looks like we'll have to do some fighting ourselves before Machia shows up let's hope he makes it this could get pretty rough." Compress takes out his clock.
"Man…why did I get dragged into this?" Dabi complains rubbing the back of his neck.
"Cause you like burning people." Pointedly, Orochi deadpans.
"…Fair." Dabi shrugs.
"You were also introduced to the league by Giran too weren't you?!" Twice points out swiping at him whoever…
"Why does that matter?" Dabi turns to frown at Twice dodging said strike.
"YOU BASTARD!" Twice roars at Dabi.
"Someone's coming!" Toga takes note of the rest preparing for the incoming attack when…
"Stop I have been sent here as your guide!" Slidin' Go reveals himself.
"A hero…!?" Spinner says surprised.
"A ugly hero." Orochi scowls.
"If you'd like to talk with the leaders of the liberation army please come with me." Slidin' Go dictates as they follow.
"There's nobody here." Compress points out.
"Think again…" Orochi draws out his knife worriedly eyeing the hero above the roof.
"This entire city…" Shigaraki begins but…
"I'm usually in charge of a different area but today is special it is as you suspect this is Dekai city 90% of the residents here heroes included are soldiers of the liberation army, it's a liberated area so to speak." Smiling, a man with shades and slicked back hair arrives, Trumpet. Curious stands by his side.
"Oh so a culty town. Great…we just walked into the lion's den." Orochi's hues narrow when people sprout out of nowhere to strike.
"A hearty welcome to our distinguished travellers from afar. Today is a day that will go down in history and you are the guests of honours now then shall we begin the liberation's army resurrection festival!?" Trumpy cheers as they all rush in to strike.
"Shimura Tomura!" A bald guy goes to strike before being stabbed in the neck by a just done Orochi.
"Just tell us where Giran is." Tiredly, Orochi sighs.
"If you're looking for the broker he's with the supreme leader waiting up in that tower." Trumpet smiles.
"You said you'd return him if we came you damn greasers!" Twice glares.
"Ain't that the leader of that political party!" Compress recognises.
"Who?" Orochi frowns lost.
"He might actually have 110,00 people behind him." Spinner says.
"Bloody lovely. I'm so not in the mood for this." Tiredly, Orochi slams his tail into an arch batting a wave of people back.
"Someone that important?!" Spinner says shocked slashing at some people.
"That doesn't matter we came so where's Giran?" Twice demands.
"For now let's head for the tower." Shigaraki smoothly disintegrates a person.
"If that's the case that's my speica-" Toga begins before being blasted back.
"Toga! You okay?" Orochi calls out concerned when she is blasted back but is grabbed by Orochi saving her from the fall.
"Yeah…thanks. The hell was that?" Toga scowls.
"The ground exploded…The two furrow their brow by the woman by Trumpet's side approaching the two.
"The perpetrator of the chain of death by blood loss incidents and the preparator of the chain of poisoning Toga Kimiko and Basil Hakamada." Curious smirks smugly at the two.
"THAT ISNT MY NAME!" Orochi's hues fierce flash raw red, throwing one of his many knives and yet…
"Hmm…" Curious with ease dodges said knife throw.
"The high school girl's descent into madness and the young boy's descend into his lesser instincts, a shocking interview with the two themselves would you like to participate?" She couldn't help but ask the two sharing a look.
"Nope." The two nope out.
"Deika is a wonderful city since it's in the mountains the routes in and out are limited. A calm city surrounded by nature and far from the hustle and bustle. The perfect place to hide away." Re-Destro smiles down at his town.
"Y'all made two mistakes first nobody wants to see an old man like me play the damsel in distress second if they unleash their nomu this city is toast." The bloodied battered bruised Giran smirks smugly.
"They won't bring out their nomu for three reasons that's even more than your two. First, ever since Kamino there have been no real reports of any kind of nomu showing up with the league, second is the high spec nomu that appeared in Kyushu the exception to my first point. The white nomu that black produced are important although they seem to have been man made their induvial strength is no more than a normal humans and finally third, Dabi's earlier comment about retrieve his nomu from this comment we can infer there are currently no other operational nomu besides Black. Summarizing these findings we can conclude that the nomu are a support resource provided by all for one and can no longer be considered a freely usable asset to the league. A league of villains without nomu is no more than a group of delinquents." Re-Destro rebukes.
"They've spread out!" A civilian forms a weapon of light.
"Leave the right to us!" The elderly woman with bubbles bursting out of her says.
"Ugh! Each and every one of them is so strong!" Spinner grunts from the close call.
"The hidden soldiers of the liberation army have been training diligently every day, forging their bodies and souls, all for the sake of living as humans should. That's why it's quite vexing for you groups started to have become the talk of the nation, Toga Himiko, Basil Hakamada it seems that you two are not fond of interviews as such I must apologise. You see I haven't given up on a scoop since my first year, Toga Himiko, Basil Hakamada from this point on I'm going to thoroughly strip you down." Determined, Curious declares to the two, a while group of people around her mostly mutants making Orochi furrow his brow by the sight.
"Don't you need our consent for that?" Tiredly, Orochi huffs.
"I have no interest in the league of villains but you two are special. Why did the adopted son of the third most popular hero become a vanilla and why did such a girl descend into madness…?! What a wonderful article that would make! It brings me back to my days in the field!" Curious beams brightly before faltering from seeing scarlet shoot out either side of her, both boy and girl by side be stabbed swiftly by both the tired Toga and done Orochi. Toga raises her blade to kill Curious however…
"Curious-Sama is in the middle of an interview!" The girl pushes Toga back into a nearby shop, glass breaking on impact as the others rush in. Oblivious to a certain serpent appearing behind curious, her hues of pitch black meeting glaring gold.
"With this direct slurp mask…Toga injects each of the members rushing at her in the store.
"A syringe a quirk that lets her ingest blood and transform! I see so that's how…!" Curious smiles watching as before Orochi knew it alongside Toga, she was met by the smiling faces of those having their blood sucked dry.
"So fast if this your snake like quirks, aren't mutants amazing to be gifted such speeds and yet there are those that believe such dirty blood shouldn't intermix baffles me!" Merrily, she gushes uncaring towards the knife wielding serpent about to end her when a explosion erupts from the building.
"Toga!" Orochi calls out concerned.
"By taking multiple people at once she has her choice of candidates and it goes without saying that her skill moment cannot be explained as that of a simpler murderer how did she acquire this skill!?" Smiling, Curious continues gushing over Toga.
"The blood….exploded!?" Toga groans, grimacing holding her head through the ruined remains of the store.
"If you're trying to transform and blend in that's not gonna work, our selfless soldiers have turned their own bodies into bombs for the liberation! Our soldiers have no mercy if you'd like to live longer please answer my questions!" Curious smiles as one of the followers take note of Orochi getting between both of them as his blade hits her instead.
"YOU BITCH!" Brow furrowed, Orochi curses uncaring towards the person in their way as he uses his tail tossing the girl aside.
"Jelaous are we? Don't worry i'll interview you soon enough child of the Scorpius!" Curious smiles.
"…Eh?" Orochi blinks befuddled before crying out as he is flung backwards, scraping against the road lost by the name.
"My, my your eyes are red could it be the toxins within you activate depending on your mood and change it?" Curious couldn't help but blush brightly.
"STOP BEING WEIRD!" Uncomfortable, Orochi roars.
"We're not weird isn't it weird how people like you are seen as a threat are seen as an abnormality are seen as less than human!" Curious continues on cackling.
"You lot are just a crazy cult!" Orochi scowls at the woman.
"Scorupius would understand!" Smiling, she exclaims.
"Look I don't know who scorious is and frankly I don't give a damn cause if you hadn't notice I'm a snake not a scorpion!" Orochi huffs, having no clue who this guy was nor did he really care.
"You don't know do you? Scorpius always wanted to improve his toxins, he went into varying extremes to make the perfect drugs to sell to the perfect poison to kill the number one but it was never enough by the age the poison within his body was killing him due to his immune system weakening he knew he had to have a successor, he needed a mutant with poison just as bad as his!" Happily, Curious explains to the lost Orochi.
"I said shut up!" Orochi lunges forward, blade in hand.
"Tell me eldest daughter of the Toga family, born august 7th age 17, what do you think of the situation?" Smiling, Curious turns back to the wrecked ruins of the store.
"LEAVE HER ALONE!" Angrily, Orochi uses his tail to bounce up going over the wall of people to hit Curious only then to grunt grimaces when one of the beefier members punch him in the stomach, salvia sewing out as he is thrown back, the metal of his knife ringing as its thrown to the side.
"Scorpius searched hard and low for your mother, going to the world outside of Japan to seek the perfect bride with the perfect quirk, paying the parents off allowing him to whisk his English bride to his home of Japan. The marriage was a well suited one, well we call it a marriage but after All Might defeated him. Your resentful mother was finally free and sold you away to throw away the bad memories and to also pay the debt to the yakuza your old man built up. Your father was a legend, he knew the value of his poisons, he knew what they could do for the world but all might snuffed them out." Curious continues on as Orochi reaches for the blade, his ears ringing through her monologue.
"I SAID SHUT UP!" Scowling, Orochi glares glowers at her.
"The girl disappeared after her middle school gradation, were you able to see my interview with your parent's? How about the one with your middle school classmates!? Everyone said the same thing!" Curious turns her information dump back over to Toga darting out of the shop, scarlet stained with people rushing at him.
"Toga!" Orochi bats those chasing her away with his tail.
"Why did you throw your normal life away? I know it well your pain and suffering but I would like the honor of hearing it from yourselves! Just why did you fall into madness!? And why did the adopted child of the third most popular hero fall into madness as well? What is a normal life?" Curious demands from Toga and Orochi both trying to bat their respective attackers away.
"Or would you prefer we speak of your other fathers? Ka-" Curious begins but…
"That man is not my father." Curious hues widen when feeling the teaching touch of a blade bringing a sadistic smile to her lips.
"No he's the scientist who experimented on you though wasn't he? And to make himself feel better he adopted you with his partner out of the supposed kindness of his heart." She suddenly snatches his face taking him aback as he tries to wiggle free.
"I said…shut up!" He slams his feral fangs into her arm.
"You must have felt alone didn't you? Being the only non blood relative of the two as they had their own children, being an outsider from that ad the mutant point of view with instincts the family you stayed with could never comprehend must have made the loneliness all the more painful…" Smiling, she continues on regardless of the scarlet spewing out of her arm cradling him like a mother making his hues widen when next he knew, he saw black, an explosion emitting between both of them.
"Orochi!" Toga cries calling out to the fallen figure smoke spewing out around him.
"Basil why are you biting at the table?" The young Kazz approaches the raven haired boy nibbling gnawing away at the table. The young boy's hues ruby red narrow at the younger Kazz.
"Cause my teeth hurt." Huffing, he grumbles whining holding his cheek.
"But daddy doesn't like that." Kazz tries to gently tell him however…
"What dad won't know won't hu-Argh!" The young Orochi squeaks shocked when a pair of hands gently take him off the table prying him off the table, his marks marred into the table.
"That is mahogany Basil." Sternly, Tsunagu tells the young boy but the boy simply hisses harshly at him, his hues fiercely flaring red than normal gold.
"Hissing is rude Basil." Tsunagu tells the young boy but…the boy simply hisses harshly at the blonde.
"Tsunagu come on let's just…" Kazz frets however the young boy then hisses harshly at Kazz.
"Mahogany Kazz! This could lead to trouble if we don't nip this in the bud. Sayako come it's time for training." Tiredly, the blonde huffs
"Okay…!" The young girl giddily grins as the young blonde takes the young girl's hand, the young boy's hard hues of ruby red narrowing at the two taking off to train.
"You don't know anything!" Angrily, Orochi roars scowling.
"Oh I know plenty just as I know they were monitoring your family because of you, because of the danger you and your father could unleash with his history with your venom he could have made thousands! The committee had to keep an eye on you both such pressure must not have been easy with your baser instincts imagine the pressure upon both your fathers no wonder they split!" Smiling, Curious continues cackling.
"I SAID SHUT UP!" Orochi roars, thinking back to the feuding, to the screaming shouting of the tearful Kazz and Tsunagu trying to keep calm composed as the young Orochi held the shaking hand of Sayako, hearing the cries of the baby Hikaru…
"Orochi!" Toga calls out worriedly snapping him out of his thoughts.
"Such presses upon your family upon you to keep your instincts down must have been painful! You must have felt guilty!" Curious continues on regardless.
"Shut up shut up shut up!" Screaming, Orochi yells Oblivious to the figure behind him about to strike when…scarlet spews out of the man swiftly stabbed in the stomach, scarlet staining the smiling Toga's face.
"I see you finally decided to reply." Curious turns to smile at Toga.
"Toga…" Orochi whimpers worriedly watching Toga by his side slash at an incoming civilian trying to take Orochi by surprise in his panicked state.
"The liberation army is trying to build a wonderful world…so I love you. I love you so much it hurts. But I have to argue that the life me and Orochi live is normal." Smiling, she tells Curious, standing protectively in front of the sobbing snake.
"You think you're normal? An interesting thought. Tell me are these your true faces? I knew it my instincts were as sharp as ever you two are the embedment of a repressed super human society." Smiling, she licks her lips.
"Toga!" Orochi bloodied battered beaten by her side sees the equally as wounded Toga fall to her knees by his side.
"Poor lost children your ragged inside and out through the suppression of your meta powers." Curious comes over to the two.
"Don't come any closer!" Orochi bares his feral fangs at her however his legs remain wiggly as she smiles down at the two holding their cheeks, his ears ringing as she fusses over Toga's face.
"Quirk counselling a correction program designed to help youth understand others and adjust to living in our modern society of course it's not perfect. Those in it end up feeling more and more distant from others." Curious smiles softly as Orochi flinches from the murky memory of it all of that program of the pills, of...
"I'm sorry I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Stunned, Sayako blinks taken aback by the tight constricting constraint of Orochi's arms coiled around her, feeling his body shake, quiver, quake, feeling the soaked dampness of her shirt as she is held in his arms.
Confused, she clings to him only then to furrow her brow, her nose twitches at the stench of iron. She glances at the side trying to see his side but he only tightens his grip, refusing to let her see his feral fangs, the heavy tinges of crimson ooze out of his blooded blades and lips, smeared with ruby red.
Lost, her brow furrow as her greens glances over, her eyes expanding in shock, horror, fear, feeling her body stop, feeling time stand still as she gazes at the numerous bodies, ruby red bite marks on their throats, the bodies of both boys and girls, of both men and women lay flat on the ground before the little girl, staring stunned having no words, feeling nothing but fear for once in her life, being in the arms of her best friend, no longer feeling the warmth of their embrace instead she is trapped by the ice cold curt embrace of…
"I said stay back!" Orochi roars and throws a knife as her but she simply smiles.
"It wasn't easy having to surpass your mutant instincts all those years…growing up being taught to accept your venom to have it be of use in society only to be later on told it to be bad, to be a cruel thing to have to surpass something you used so often as a child…" Curious crouches down holding his face smiling softly down at him.
"Shut….shut up!" Tears freely fall from the sobbing snake.
"To grow up in a family that had no clue of these mutant instincts within your pitiful children because of the meta-abilities you have, you are openly fascinated by blood and you your instincts of a blood thirsty killer but do you know who is to blame? This world what you felt was completely natural you were interested in blood and you, your basic instinct but society couldn't accept that." She smiles consoling him almost as he glares grimacing at her words closing his hues the tears freely falling thinking back to…
"I….found you.." Shocked, Sayako turns her eyes widening when meeting raw reds aiming straight at…
"P-Papa…" Meekly, Kota whimpers when seeing his feral fangs.
"SHIT!" Swiftly, Sayako pushes Aizawa forward.
"SAYAKO!" Aizawa cries out as he falls flat to the ground, his coal blacks dilating in horror. He calls out to her, feeling his blood run coiled from her scream as she is pinned to the ground, crimson oozing out of her from the feral fangs piercing her throat.
"It's not your fault the world wasn't ready to accept you that's why you put on a lid on your desires so you could keep supressing yourself, wearing a mask over your true identity." Curious words ring in Orochi's head.
"B-Basil s-stop p-please y-y-you're hurting me!" The young Sayako whimpers weakly, sniffling sadly flailing thrashing from the hands around her throat as the girl goes limp in his hands.
"Sayako!" Tsunagu's concern call of her name rings in the air as the red eyed boy is tied down by threads, Jeanist rushing over to the limp girl's side.
"Orochi what did you do!?" Kazz demands from the glaring boy.
"Wahhh!" Hikaru's sharp sob from the nursery cries.
"We need to call a hospital now!" Tsunagu dictates as the young boy watches on as Tsunagu tends to the young poisoned girl, rushing out of the door to get the young girl treated.
"You shut your mouth!" Toga snarls rising her blade to strike.
"Curious Blacner!" Curious gets out a weapon to explode Toga face first.
"Toga!" Orochi lunges forward pulling her back to brace for the blast at him.
"There's no difference between your goals and the liberation army goals! That is the ultimate truth of the liberation army's ideals, your lives will be written about in our modern day holy book, the shining example of that trut-AH MY EYES!" Curious dictates before screaming when through the smoke and debris her hues widen when seeing Toga unharmed instead she sees Orochi holding his arm to sharpened scales bare before her blood dripping down as scales soon shoot out one of them hitting Curious dead in the eye making her scream curse cradling her hue, scarlet shooting out.
"Huh…that's new." Orochi adjusts his hand, taken aback as his claws of pitch black grow, scales forming upon his hardened arm blocking said blast.
"Toga run!" Orochi wraps his tail around Toga flinging her back before he makes a run for it from the lackies.
"Orochi!?" Toga blinks befuddled but…
"RUN!" Orochi roars trying to cover for her as best he can while she runs bleeding out.
"Don't tell me….the need to save someone you care for made your quirk evolve…!?" Curious realises surprised.
"Someone…I care for?" Orochi says softly staring stunned down at his hand.
"….Everything is your fault." Firmly, Sayako whispers, her greens glaring into his glassy gold.
"Sayako? Confused, Orochi chuckles nervously, his hues flashing blue.
"I wish dad had never adopted you." Icily, she snaps seething spitting poison at the cold bloodied male.
"…You…you don't mean that…" Tensely, Orochi chuckles.
"…" Silently, she stares glaring daggers at Orochi unaware of the looks of concern sent his way by Toga and a few other villains.
"That's right, that's what I am! Toga get out of here!" Orochi roars ready to hold them off.
"Where will you run to the league cannot overpower us!" Curious cackles.
"ARGH!" Orochi grunts grimacing from the onslaught of quirks sent his way.
"Orochi!" Toga cries running still cradling her bleeding face.
"Orochi I'm sorry…She's strong…and so annoying I'm not unfortunate at all! I smile when I'm happy just like you all kiss the people you love I suck the blood of the people I love I'm not unfortunate at all! Toga turns into Ochaco.
"She transformed!? A stock of blood I see oh my god you're going to make me cry! I know all about it your quirk lets you change your appearance and nothing else at the very least I want to go out look cute ahh poor thing!" Curious gasps when seeing said sight.
"I have a little bit of blood left over from then Ochaco has so much of Izuku's trust that's so nice that's so nice! I want to be close to the people I love too! Toga taps people time and time again until…
"Please give me your story!" Curious begs as she too is thrown up into the air.
"NOO!" Orochi roars glaring up at her.
"I also want to be like you! Toga watches them all fall into the sky.
"…Huh? What?" Curious gasps.
"Mistress Curious!" Her lackeys call out equally as alarmed as they join her up in the sky, a part of Togas disgust bursting from the side showing half her and half Ochaco.
"Everyday I was chased by the police and heroes I became so sensitive to what was happening around me. When I pretended to be a high school girl the world became kinder don't get caught keep on moving don't get caught…am I using Ochaco's quirk? Toga realises surprised seeing said flying people.
"What's this? I thought she could only change her physical appearance don't tell me…she levelled up just now…!? The fear of death evolved her meta power!" Curious concludes.
"Orochi…" Toga stumbles over to him bloodied battered beaten.
"Toga…heh nice look…" Ochaco smiles strained coughing crimson.
"Thanks…also…" Toga flicks his nose.
"Ow! What was that for?" Orochi whines cradling his nose.
"Taking the fall for me…stupid." Sighing, she hugs him.
"Toga?" Orochi furrows his brow at her hug.
"You want the same as me don't you? I want to become more like those I love don't you!?" Orochi looks up at him tearful.
"…I do." Orochi sniffles softly nodding, hugging her back.
"What a wonderful headline that makes this will be my greatest feature!" Curious smiles falling above the two before they all come crashing down, scarlet splattering on them both before the two fall flat to the ground, having done their part.
"We keep chopping them down but they're too many!" Spinner complains cross with the rest making their stand.
"You haven't killed a single one of them." Dabi points out.
"Toga and Orochi are gone where are they!?" Twice takes note of.
"Careful…" Orochi grunts, limping into the small shed holding Toga.
"I'm a mess…" Toga groans.
"That's the understatement of the century." Orochi sets her down in said shed.
"…Just like Izuku was…" Toga smiles.
"Just rest…I'll keep watch for now." Orochi softly pats her head before the two finally take a break, bleeding out to their hearts content…
"It's better not to kill leave them to the big guy I'd do it myself but the things we hate should be Re-Destroyed right…Tomura…?" Toga slurs slightly.
"Just rest Toga you did all you can…" Orochi says as he goes unconscious falling flat on her body covering her body hiding her away as he limps away unaware of a certain someone finding him.
"Haa…Ha…this can't be happening it is when they went missing earlier I was so worried I was just fine ahhh damn it! How could this happen! Toga! Orochi! Come on we just got you back! No way…NO WAY! YES WAY! WHY DIDN'T HE PROTECT HER!? HE CLEALRY DID FROM HIS WOUNDS I DIDN'T KNOW HUMAN SKIN COULD GET THIS COLD THEN AGAIN HE IS A REPTILE HOLY SHIT ITS BURNING MY HANDS OFFSHUTTHEHELLUPASIFICOULDKEEPQUIETHERE!SHE'SCOVEREDINBLOODASISHE!ISSHESTILLBREATHING?DOESN'TSEEMLIKEITGODHERFACEISALLMESSEDUPASISHISISTHATTHEOPPONENT'SBLOODIT'SYOURBLOODDUMBASS!" Tearful, Twice roars holding both bodies in his and his duplicate hands, the two talking ranting to each other.
"This is the handkerchief you gave me! GIVE IT UP THEY ARE BEYOND SAVING! PLEASE DON'T DIE ON ME YOU…EVERYONE IN THE LEAGUE IS MY HOME! A PLACE THOSE WHO'VE BEEN CAST OUT THE ONLY PLACE THAT GAVE ME A PLACE TO BELONG…! GOD DAMMIT! SCREW IT! I'LL MURDER THEM ALL!" Twice takes out a handkerchief trying to clean Toga up while the other shakes Orochi.
"Twice has joined up with Toga…Toga is still alive as is Orochi. They're now at Ikeda's warehouse for the sake of Curious we can't let that stand it'd mess up the narrative of our future book but most of all that boy's blood the mutant's will be useful for the liberation army…BUBAIGAWARA JIN TWICE Special ability Double in some ways the exact opposite of Toga he multiplied himself he was killed by himself and ultimately he lost himself. A man who liberated his abilities to live an individual life and traumatised his heart as a result." Skeptic reports to his lackies as both clones turn to see the giants towering over the group.
"ARGHHH!" Twice screams startled to see said group surrounding him and his double, soon enough the thugs with his face rush at him, taking his mask off.
"Chikazoku Tomoyasu liberation code Skeptic special ability shadow puppet from refrigerator to desks he can transform human sized objects into a puppet he can control at will don't you get it Bubaigawa? It's all about how you can use it! why can't you understand your own value!? With your special ability Re-Destro can be revived no matter what happens to him! We won't let the tragedy of Re-Destro repeat itself! We'll have you join the liberation army!" Skeptic decides smirking smugly at the wreck of a man on his screen.
"NO my mask! I need it I'll split! Stoop! Goddammit stop! OROCHI HELP ME! TOGA! OROCHI!" Twice screams scared rushing at the two, the clones try to break Toga's next while the others try to take Orochi away as the real Jin lunges at them.
"He's resisting? I anticipated that he might try to run but…he's more determined than I expected F, G, get him, grab his arms." Skeptic orders as the clones toss Twice aside as they grab both Toga and Orochi.
"ARGHHH!" Twice screams.
"I live alone I have no family." Jin robotically reports with a black eye as he sits in the interview room.
"I was around 16 when I started to fall from the start I had a scary face, people tended to fear me.
"I see that must have been rough. You see the man that you hit with your motorcycle it seems that his arm got broken." He tells Jin.
"He was the one who jumped towards me. I was obeying the speed limit." Jin defends himself.
"Unforutnatly in this case convincing the jury with that will be difficult. Well there's a chance that you will end up having a criminal record don't let it bother you even you can take a wrong step but you can always turn your life around." The officer assures Jin.
You can always turn your life around I'm sure the policeman didn't know then again neither did I. That for some reason the first wrong step is the start of a slippery slope.
"Jin that guy you hit with your motorcycle he works for one of our top client I just got a call and he was furious! He said just look at what your guy has done we'll never be able to do business with them again! After all the kindness I've shown you this is how you repay me!? Don't fuck with me I don't ever want to see your face ever again!" Angrily, his boss bellows roaring raising his voice after hitting the shell shocked Jin who was promptly fired from his job.
"My parents both died when I was in middle school I got mixed up in villainous activity. Without any relatives to speak of I was really all by myself. In today's modern society have you ever heard of someone so disconnected from the rest of the world? I just wanted someone to talk with…
"Hey…where do you think I went wrong?" His clone couldn't help but ask as they sit under the bridge with a fire between both boys.
"Hmm if I had to say I would say it started when you were born without a shred of luck." Jin talks to himself smoking smiling sadly.
I wanted someone I could trust and be trusted by. It was fun.
Jin forms some mud clones of himself soon beginning to rob, steal and rode the road as much as he wanted with his crazy crew of clones.
Those on the path of descent all think the same, I want to live an easy life isn't that right? Following that I made mistake after mistake but it isn't until you've hit rock bottom that you naturally realise your wrong decisions. I lost the ability to even trust myself.
Scarlet splatter all over the ruined remains of the room, windows boarded up with scarlet smears all over the floor and wall with knives and all sorts dropped to the ground coted crimson with Jin tied to the chair, in a world of still silence.
"So what's the bag for? Is it for hyperventilation?" Giran jokes as Jin sits across from him at a familiar bar.
"I see you watched yourself get massacred by yourself and went crazy as a result." Giran gets the story.
"If I'm not covered I'll split apart. I AIN'T GONNA SPLIT! Any dopples I make disappear after taking a certain amount of damage. An adult male would be a broken arm or so would do it it's why I'm so nervous. I'm perfectly calm." Jin says stubbornly, a bag over his head.
"And to think that person has fallen this far….using your clones for widespread grand theft making you currently one of the governments most wanted criminals. With your quirk you could have the power to take down the entire country." Jin smirks slightly.
"What would someone washed up do?" Jin asks Giran.
"Become trusted." Giran lights his cigarette.
"By who?" Jin pries.
"Frineds. A pretty lively group just formed recently they'd definitely need someone like you. You'll be fine people like you are more common than you might think." Giran hands him the business card.
"Next his legs. Just be good and stay quiet. Don't do anything unnecessary." Skeptic orders as they do just that.
"Ahh it hurts shit!" Twice roars.
"Ah man look what you've done Toga's regained consciences now I have to use more force." Skeptic tuts from the monitor.
"IT HURTS IT HURT ITHURTITHURTITHURTSITHUUURRRTTSS!BUT I'M NOT DISSAPEARING! Move aside you fakes!" Twice orders.
"Huh?" Skeptic says surprised.
"I would never kill my friends my quirk double I think its about time you saw how terrifying it can be liberation army!" Twice roars swiftly summoning his clones to help him out to help his friends out.
"Sorry Shigaraki I can't do it I can totally do it piece of cake…in order to use double I need both data and a mental image. I don't have the data on this since Orochi killed that researcher Ryoma guy so I can't form a mental image." Twice apologises as he tries to form another of the erasure bullets but it does nothing.
"Wow apologies for killing the guy who tortured me for years." Groggily, Orochi stirs from his curled up nap.
"Apology accepted apology not accepted!" Twice declares.
"I won't be able to mass produce these bullets for the yakuza…." Twice turns back to Shigaraki .
"Can't we use your venom to make more?" Compress turns to Orochi.
"They sucked up the last of my venom to do so I can't produce much more besides it wasn't just my venom that did it they had a whole recipe that I have no clue about." Orochi admits.
"Sorry for not being able to help sorry for always dragging everyone down. Everyone here was kind enough o accept even me for so long now I've always wanted to return the favour. Current Twice bows his head thinking back to that memory as he deals with the clones in suits.
"Let's go Twice it's time for a massacre!" Twice cackles summoning numerous copies of his clone taking out thousands of civilians.
"Quick we need to help Curious!" One of the liberators call out.
"Careful not to kill the snake and double…!" Another reminds them.
"Ultimate move Sad Man's Parade!" Twice declares preforming his ultimate move.
"Attack kill them al-Aargh!" The liberators are quickly downed out by the numerous Twice's.
"Look at that…he actually overcame his psychological trauma Mr Skeptic looks like your predictions were off ! I must say it's pretty rare to see you fail." ReRe-Destro turns to smile at the seething Sceptic's silently slamming his laptop shut turning to the door.
"Fail? What are you talking about? I have only failed once in my life. Just once. In all my life. Please retract those words. This isn't a failure it's just the cue for my next move." Mad, Skeptic storms out ready to deal with them.
"Ah that's the spirit Skeptic." Re-Destro smiles watching him leave.
"He overcame his trauma? Y'all are some incredible doctors too bad once their shackles are gone anything is possible for them at the very least you've lost your advantage in numbers." Giran smirks slightly groggily.
"Yes but we have quality isn't that right apocryphia…?" Re-Destro smiles.
"DABI MR COMPRESS TWICE IS HERE TO SAVE THE DAY!" Numerous Twice's rushes off to Dabi dealing with the ice boy and Compress doing the best he can with one arm.
"TOGA'S GONNA DIE!" One of the clones cry.
"OROCHI'S GONNA DIE!" Another of the clones cry.
"COMPRESS YOU SAVIOUR IS HERE!" Another of the clones cheer.
"ARE YOU GUYS BOTH ALIVE!?" Another of the clones worry.
"THERE'S STILL PLENTY MORE TO COME!" The clones cackle.
"YOU'RE STEPPIN ON MY FEET!" Another of the clones complains.
"Can you shut up!? Wait…what happened to your trauma?" Compress confused queries.
"I Re-Destroyed it with the power of friendships!" Twice declares.
"I've got no time what you're talking about but sounds like a hero story to me aren't you supposed to be a villain?" Compress reminds him.
"What is it weird for a villain to save his friends?" Twice argues.
"Not at all!" A clone agrees.
"Course I won't let you die!" A clone declares.
"I'm so cool!" A clone cheers.
"Damn I'm so quotable!" A clone remarks.
"I don't have any friends so you're all important to me-Other mes!?" Twice hollers.
"Is this place famous for exporting ice or something…?" Dabi tuts.
"I'm pretty sure I said that I can manipulate all ice even the temperature of it. If I send some ice into the sewers the lower its temperature all the water beneath us freezes ad becomes my domain." The ice wielder he is fighting theorises.
"You should've done that from the start! It pisses me off." Dabi scowls.
"The ultimate goal of the liberation army is to establish a society where social status is determined by the strength of your ability simply put, powering up your ability is no different from survival. If you don't have a strong quirk why bother living?" The ice wielder argues.
"Well that's just sad. Die." Dad blasts flames at him.
"You're the one who'll be dying wielder of blue flames your body has been reeking of burn flesh for a while now. Observing your opponent to identify their limits is the bare minimum and judging by that peeling burnt skin of yours. You can't fight for very long can you? Your body can't stand your own flames." The ice wielder dictates determined.
"Heh this hardly seems fair but if you die here, it will look bad for all for one. Machia…the master's successor is awfully doing his best but is getting tired." The doctor watching on from afar exclaims as elsewhere…
"The master's successor…" Machia roars rushing towards Dekai city.
"It's unusual for you to come visit me." Best Jeanist greets Hawks coming into his home.
"How are you holdin' up these days?" Hawks shoves his hands into his pockets picking up a photo of a framed photo of a young girl and a younger Tsunagu and Kazz holding a younger Hikaru in his hands. Smiling, Sayako stands, Basil by his side smiling as well while staring at the camera of the happy family to the naked eye.
"Much better. Thanks." Best Jeanist looks towards the box.
"Why didn't you just ask that ancient nurse at UA to help out with your recovery?" Hawks looks around the place noting the shy tie and a snow white doctor's coat making him arch a brow by the sight.
"She can't restore what's been taken away, and I lost a lung in that battle. But fortunately, it's possible for humans to live with only one of them." Best Jeanist looks through the box.
"Hey didn't think you much of a soda fan?" Hawks takes note of the soda cans in the bin.
"…Sayako can only take so many herbal teas…" Tsunagu smiles softly at the thought of his eldest enjoying only so much herbal tea.
"Sayako? Oh yeah at the sports festival those were some cool moves she pulled on the ice!" Hawks recalls eyeing another photo of a rebellious teen from the mall all the way back then, smirking slightly in the photo.
"…She was a beautiful skate." Softly, Tsunagu whispers pride clear in his truthful tone.
"You sound proud." Hawks takes note of his genuine tone.
"She wouldn't have won those skating contests on luck alone she trained hard." Tsunagu admits as Hawk eyes the numerous photos of the young girl with medals and trophies beaming brightly by her father's side year after year…
"So she come around here then?" Hawks ponders noting the numerous soda cans.
"She is…making the effort to spend time with me as I am the same in terms of trying to make things more accommodating for her." Tsunagu explains to Hawks fondly.
"It's impressive I heard she lost and arm and she's still fighting." Hawks admits amazed.
"She's learning from Bombarda." Tsunagu concedes.
"…That right?" Hawks freezes from the mention.
"Indeed." Tsunagu nods.
"What about your hero work?" Hawks ponders.
"I plan to return to the public eye soon. There are many eager for me to be on the streets again." Best Jeanist tells Hawks.
"Even after…" Hawks eyes the back of Jeanist.
"It would seem I underestimated the people." Jeanist confesses.
"…It can't be easy." Hawks furrows his brow at Jeanist.
"…No. It's not. But we will do what be done…hiding away as long as we did was not the best strategy." Tsunagu tells Hawks.
"Do you regret it?" Hawks couldn't help but ask eyeing the children below.
"Hm?" Tsunagu turns to Hawks silently staring at the framed photo.
"Fatherhood…" Hawks whispers softly sadly staring down at the family of smiling faces.
"It hasn't been easy I have made my mistakes as has Kazz but…we are healing in our own way. I hope to make an announcement to clear somethings up, the people are expecting for a response of sorts and I hope Kazz and I do it together…for Sayako, Hikaru…and Basil's sake." Softly, Tsunagu admits as he eyes the small plush of himself.
"You don't say. I'm sorry to hear that." Hawk's hues narrow taking out a familiar feather blade.
"I've gotcha!" Twice suddenly tackles Shigaraki to the ground.
"Oi oi did you seriously multiple yourself?" Shigaraki takes note of.
"Twice!? Why're there so many of you!?" Spinner says shocked he too tackled to the ground.
"Spinner!"
"Hey buddy!"
"Shigaraki! With this perhaps I'll finally be of use to you!" Twice stands with his clones.
"Yeah!"
"Doesn't matter how many there are you're all just sacrifices for our resurrection!" His clones ready for the fight ahead.
"How dare you!"
"Sacrificed!? You've got some shitty taste damn occultists!"
"Incredible Twice mind opening a path to the tower while you're at it. they told us the boss ad Giran are up there might just be a trap but their defence is getting stronger as we approach almost as if they're protecting the tower. I'm fine with leaving the fodder for Machia but this boss is gonna die by our hands." Shigaraki tells Twice.
"Why don't you just lean on me and get some sleep boss? I might just accidently Re-Destroy the liberation army by myself." Twice admits.
"Move bitch get out the way!" A clone hollers.
"Wait for me Giran I'm coming! Internally, Twice swears as sad man's parade strikes.
"At this point can't we just leave it to Twice?" Spinner stares stunned at the clones before him.
"Yeah he just likes Giran way too much…but playing around with people's feelings like that…I won't forgive you liberation army." Shigaraki swears sleepily.
"Ring leader of the league of villains it is truly regrettable that you have made me come to you like this our objective is none other than the dissolutions of the league of villains we humans are not weak everyone holds power within them through this festival ad avenge Curious. We must show the world how we humans with special abilities stand victorious against evil! The power to earn our lives with our own hands, hear my words liberation army father your power and open a path to a new era of freedom! It is time that we show the world everyone is a hero! And that nobody is a hero!" Trumper dictates through the mic.
"The politician I forgot about him…!" Spinner says surprised.
"There you are! You're the big jerk that made us crash our fight to come here, what a crappy move!" Twice appears in the elevator before Re-Destro.
"Oooh so you made it to the tower." Re-Destro turns to Twice.
"What's with the weird hair Baldy? No wait I'll call you forehead sorry that was rude." Twice apologises.
"Bagiwara." With a darkened fingertip he easily destroys the clone.
"I can make a lot of things faster by myself than my clone after all nobody knows me better than me! I'm gonna have you pissing your pants and begging for mercy Baldy!" Twice makes clone of some of the league but…
"Did you see that?" Confess turns to Dabi surprised he had simply brushed the clone off.
"…Don't ask me." Dabi huffs.
"I thought that we had quite a number of soldiers down below as Skeptic said your special ability is truly incredible. Since he's not technically a member it was never my intent to kill Giran however if you try to multiply again I won't hastate." He admits to Twice terrifying him.
"It's alright Twice with the doubles you've already made it's now one vs a lot." Shigaraki points out to Twice.
"Now listen up bastards you guys are all copies got it!? So you won't die even if you're killed rest assured I'll set up a grave for ya'll!" Twice reminds himself.
"Don't copy your leader just to kill him off." Shigaraki huffs.
"Repeat after me even if I die I wonie die it should give you a sense of relief!" Twice tells them.
"It'll put your heart at ease." Dabi huffs.
"That guy is the liberation leader." Twice tells them.
"Huh since when could you multiple yourself!?" Compress confused queries.
"Oh right I didn't tell you I got over my trauma." Twice realises.
"What so you're a copy too!?" Compress says surprised.
"Are you daft I'm the original!" Twice huffs.
"What? Pretty sure I am!" Another twice argues.
"Shut up it doesn't matter who's who right now all that matter is getting Giran back!" One of the clones run at Re-Destro but is swiftly snuffed out.
"See?! He's a fake!" One of the copies point out.
"You're quite fragile aren't you? By the way do you even understand what the point of a hostage is?" Re-Destro argues as he looks down at the mud below.
"We've got the advantage!" Compress lunges forward.
"I just gotta take him back right?" Dabi sets his hand aflame.
"WAIT!" The clones call out gawking gaping at the huge arm of darkness swiftly slamming down on them.
"What a sorry lot it's ridiculous that you would think you were even in my league." Re-Destro scoffs.
"Giran! " One of the dying murky copies form a new one rushing at the man.
"Giran!" He rushes over to the fallen figure still chained to the chair.
"Your fingers they're really gone ahh shit dammit it's your right hand too why'd it have to be your right, that's the hand you smoke with your American spirits!" Twice cries for his friend's loss.
"Ah god I'm so sorry I ended up leaking your date to them I'm a failure as a broker…" Giran coughs.
"Don't apologise you didn't do anything wrong! So don't apologise!" Tearfully, Twice tells him.
"You guys really are playing pretend aren't you? The goals of the organisation should be the one and only concern of its members anything else is extraneous you would do well to scatter in the face of our ambition." Re-Destro y turns to Twice.
"It seems you have quite the lofty dreams there." Shigaraki goes to strike but…
"What does it mean to live!? Lofty dreams hehehe what a perfect opportunity allow me to measure you, once upon a time a woman gave birth to a child with special abilities. At the time the world was still chaotic replete with fierce prejudice against special abilities inundated with malevolence and overflowing with discrimination. A world where stones would be thrown at her beloved child everyday. In a faint whisper the woman decided such a world this is my child's quirk all I wish for is a world where he can live freely however her voice was drowned amidst the sneers of the world! The woman would never make her voice heard a second time! Why, you ask? She was murdered by those who opposed special abilities." Re-Destro dodges touch after touch from Shigaraki forming a huge fist of darkness to hit Shigaraki Oblivious to the real one down below approaching the tall tower.
"The mother of quirks? Are you joking?" Shigaraki exclaims.
"Pardon me I had forgotten that you never attended school and then the heroes came with the rise of vigilantes the government began to tame the chaos and as part of their policy they revived her words. The amplification of special abilities became quirks diversity a complete turnaround however…in realty the newly enacted polices were nothing but more oppression. There is no meaning in a simple name change the entire time they never addressed the suppression of ability usage if the people cannot freely use their abilities then is what we have truly freedom? That is what Re-Destro proclaimed! This is not the future my mother wished for! She wished for a world where special abilities are just quirks in the truest sense!" Re-Destro continues monologing grabbing Shigaraki .
"Twice if you're gonna protect Giran make a cushion…?" Shigaraki tells Twice confusing Re-Destro .
"This was their inconvenient truth do you understand why we sell Re-Destro's final writings!? National revolution, true freedom I have taken Re-Destro's ambitions as my own! As the child of Re-Destro I have inherited his will and have sworn to see it through I am Re-Destro! Does your ragtag group of hoodlums with nothing but destruction on their minds think that their ambitions could possibly outweigh ours?" Re-Destro continues on regardless.
"In your first attack I flew by the window and happened to see him down below…it's coming. He will definitely touch the tower." Shigaraki's clone admits as the twice clones grab Giran.
"That's what I would do." Shigaraki admits as his real self sets his hand on the bottom of the tower.
"You know humans usually die when they fall from a high place…are you the final boss? Hmm? What? you're the guy who was in the detnetrat commercial aren't you? Shigaraki asks as his clone disperses in Re-Destro 's hand alongside the whole building as they all come crashing down.
"Looks like I won't have a chance to hear your answer…" Re-Destro cloaked in black sneers ready to end it as he stands before the real Shigaraki .
"Toga-chan up until now you've never let me take your measurements. Well I guess that's natural you're a girl after all but you're gonna have to bear with it for now I'm gonna have to measure you. You've lost too much blood but I don't know your blood type so I'm gonna multiply you to give you a transfusion." The Twice without a mask tells the bloodied battered beaten Toga.
"I'll measure her!" Happily, a clone volunteers.
"No I'll do it you guys pick up her syringes!" Another clone orders.
"You two have already made two doubles haven't you? I still haven't made one let me measure her." Another clone whines.
"This isn't the time or place to be petty Toga-chan's gonna die!" He yells at his clones, his outburst stirring a certain snake….
"What's up! Just work together!" The clones disputes amongst themselves.
"H-Huh?" Orochi slowly stirs groaning grimacing.
"Orochi you're alive!" Twice perks up at the sight of him.
"You're okay!" His clowns cheer.
Twice? Did you always look that hot?" Orochi blurts out.
"Huh?" Jin does a double take.
"LIAR!" One of the clowns cry.
"You've lost too much blood!" Another assumes.
"Don't go into the light!" Another clone shakes him however…
"Wha…what happened? Where's the tower?" He couldn't help but ask noting the lack of tower.
"Shigaraki destroyed it." Twice answers.
"He…he destroyed a whole tower?!" Orochi says shocked.
"Yeah seems everyone's evolving even you." Twice points out.
"Even…me?" Orochi stares shakily stunned down at her armour like arm seeing said scales.
"What is that?" One of the clones wonder.
"I don't…wait Twice!" Orochi grabs hold of one of the clones however…
"Urgh!" The clone disperses.
"Twice!" Orochi worries.
"Don't worry it's a double." Jin promises.
"What did I do?" Orochi stares stunned down at his extended nails.
"Seems your nails poisoned my double." He points at him.
"My…nails…" Orochi whispers weakly stunned.
"Incoming!" A clone squeaks when another is then shot down sludge splashing down on the ground below baffling her.
"Oh you got to be…" Orochi curses.
"…Did you just shoot out your scales!?" Shocked, one of the clones gasp.
"The hell is going on!? Urgh it doesn't matter we have to….what are you doin to Toga?" Orochi demands from him.
"Wanna help me measure Toga?" One of the clones wonder.
"What!?" Orochi does a double take.
"This isn't the time to be pervy Toga's gonna die!" Jin cries.
"Alright hand her over to me." Orochi sighs.
"To you?" The clones hues narrow.
"I know what I'm doing. Pass me her gear." He orders.
"Look what they've done to your beautiful face I wonder if it'll heal I'm sure Dabi can introduce you to a great plastic surgeon. No matter what you'll live." Twice uses his handkerchief or well hers to try to help.
"You…you were bullied once weren't you and became a shut in? Perhaps it is that resentment which brings you here today…unfortunately I don't see you as a person who could ever accomplish anything." Trumpet places his hands in his pockets as he deals with Spinner while the sad man armada deals with his followers.
"Spinner!" Twice calls out when Spinner screams from someone coming out of the wall he had climbed up impaling him with spikes.
"Dammit don't you see? Unlike Toga I don't have anything I love or anything I want to do but even so when I saw him then my heart burnt with passions when I heard him say that I thought to myself. I want to see the future he envisions with my own two eyes… If I could ease Shigaraki 's burdens even a bit…! Huh so what's wrong about that? Y'all are the same aren't you Mr politician? WRONG!? That's right I'm just a lower class citizen mutant some would say who can't accomplish anything without standing on the shoulders of others is that so?" Spinner smirks recovering himself as he thinks back to his shut in lifestyle.
"Could you possible be thinking we're on the same level?" Trumpet sneers.
"We're alive!?" Astonished, Giran shakily sands.
"I knew Shigaraki could do it!" Twice cheers.
"Were you always this huge? What was that now 110,000 people or something did you assume your numbers would take care of everything while you just watched from above going as far as preparing a lynching ground for your opponents then making light of us assuming we wouldn't be able to make it this far and after all that, falling all the way down, like I said how're you feeling now?" Shigaraki stands before the bulky beast that is Re-Destro.
"Even things he hasn't touched are disintegrating?" Giran says surprised.
"We're getting out of here Giran!" Twice tells him.
"I'm livid. You see I'm the type to hold it in as you can tell it's really taken a toll on my hair line." Smirking, Re-Destro y slams his hand down taking a part of Shigaraki 's actual hand with him as crimson currents come gushing out.
Yostubashi Rikiya liberation code Re-Destro
"Is this the hand that's been doing naughty things!? Good little children don't judge people by their quirks it's a good message I was raised the same way. However one's especially ability is directly linked to their character. Whatever you touch with all five fingers will decay it's the same for you too isn't it? I didn't hear your answer earlier Shigaraki Tomura for what do you fight? What do you wish to create? If your abominations are hollow they will bear no fruit is the pursuit of destruction your only worth as a human!? In that case you'll never match me." He grabs Shigaraki hand begin to tear at it limb by limb as his hands fly up in the air as Re-Destro becomes one with his stress, the two fighting, to their breaking point to Shigaraki's awakening as Shigaraki finally remembers, Re-Destroying each and every hand he had clamed down upon him, finally letting go…
"My head…is splitting…I don't care about the future." Shigaraki admits Re-Destro eyes widen when hearing Machia footsteps just as Shigaraki smiles blood staining his hues as he places his hand on ground, Re-Destroying everything, Re-Destroying Re-Destro and most of all Re-Destroy Dekai city.
"Re-Re-Destro!"
"Re-Destor has been hurt!"
"It can't be…"
"Don't just stand there! Go save our glorious leader!"
"Inside was negated it can't be…"
"Trumpet anymore fighting…would be pointless." Re-Re-Destroy in his defeated Re-Destroyed deflated form admits to Trumpet.
"For use of meta abilities not suppression but liberation I understand great Re-Destro the one who should be at the forefront of liberation the one who will crate the world you dreamed of is a person who embodies freedom. This young man laughed off our history and bloodline saying they were restricting me I see it so clearly now…the figure before me is a shining beacon…" In awe Re-Destro eyes the shining beacon that is Shigaraki .
"This army agrees with my…no with Re-Destro's principal they are willing to become martyr's for the cause. It is as you said they picked a fight and you prevailed kill me if you like I'm ready to sacrifice myself for Re-Destro's dying wish…the meta liberation army is now under your command." Re-Destro bows before Shigaraki as do the rest of the liberation in awe of their…
"Successor…" Machia whispers, the tears freely falling seeing everyone bow before Shigaraki seeing a brief glimpse of his master before him, now final understanding his master's order.
According to witnesses the culprits who caused the tragedy in this once peaceful town were a group of twenty who held a grudge against heroes. It is believed to have been a planned rebellion the insurgents allegeable leaked fake information to the heroes in order to lead them out before commencing their attack. Witnessing this sudden disaster the citizens of Deika banded together and fought back the heroes ultimately joined them and a battle ensued although many of Deika citizens fell victim to the attack all twenty were ultimately killed in the conflict. Furthermore the president and CEO of detnetrat also happened to be present during the attack and suffered grievous injuries including tow severed legs narrowly escaping death.
Although some critics have remarked that untrained civilians using their quirks led to increased casualties the vast majority of the public is celebrating the people of Deika as heroes…
"You happy now Compress you got your sushi…" Orochi grumbles munching on some sushi.
"You bet I am. Huzzah we live to fight on another day what doesn't kill us makes us stronger!" Compress cheers chewing on hs sushi.
"You didn't do anything." Dabi argues.
"Oh come off it running away has its merit." Compress huffs.
"Do be fair he had one hand what can you expect him to do?" Orochi huffs nuzzling into the cloak of fluff with a snakelike skin design of gold and black feathers.
"You really should eat even snakes eat a little don't they?" Compress fusses.
"To be fair I think this eating thing could be worse due to both my folks side." Sighing, he slithers further into his heat pad of sorts.
"Your folks?" Dabi arches a brow.
"Yeah if what Curious said is true then I had one scorpion and one snake, scorpions can go on for days without eating…" Orochi explains.
"Hmmm…I don't like it." Spinner scowls.
"Neither do I. But when you have a tree like me its best to know about these things for a heads up even if it comes from strangers. Can't fight biology I guess…" Aloofly, Orochi shrugs.
"You okay about that though…?" Compress frowns.
"Hm?" Humming, Orochi exclaims.
"What that woman was saying?" Compress frowns.
"Eh it doesn't matter anyway, those two don't matter to me what matters is those in my life now not those that were never really there you know?" Orochi decides.
"I guess…" Compress shrugs.
"Dabi if you don't eat they'll be nothing left." Spinner points out to him.
"Eat all you want I hate fish." Dabi huffs.
"Can you even taste anything?" Orochi leans against his bundled up tail.
"Toga please forgive me…" Tearful, Twice whimpers eyeing the shrine of sorts he had made for her.
"Why does he have a photo of Toga?" Dabi frowns.
"One of his clones asked as I did the transfusion. Least he got her good side." Shrugging, Orochi offers optimistically.
"If you hadn't transferred blood with the other Toga right now other toga would be!" Twice continues crying.
"She's alive dumbass!" Orochi snaps.
"Orochi is right now please now babbling at that pic I'm still alive and you're creeping me out." Toga huffs with an eyepatch on.
"Yeah let's stop doing what other people don't like!" Twice kicks the shrine.
"You like mourning your friend's supposed death?" Orochi eyes Twice tiredly.
"Course not! My leg's moving on it's own don't move without my permission! I was a bad boy don't hit me wait what did you say me?" Twice goes off on one.
"I thought your broken psyche got stitched back together but it seems worse." Dabi sighs.
"Yeah sounds like there's more of you now." Spinner says.
"Then again trauma doesn't exactly vanish." Orochi huffs.
"It's time come." Skeptic comes into the room.
"Bite me!" Twice barks.
"…Where?" Orochi rubs at his cheek.
"Not you." Dabi stops him tugging at his collar.
"We're still eating our sushi you jerk!" Twice glares at Skeptic.
"Sushi that was purchased using our funds the medical treatment and toga's new coat was also benefits by your financial sponsorship." Skeptic sternly reminds them as they all follow Skeptic up an elevator.
"Yeah well don't forget if it weren't for us baldie would be in the hospital instead of a swanky hideout!" Twice huffs.
"You must put a stop to this Skeptic these are who the grand ahem I mean Re-Destro chose to lead our people to their future, Re-Destro words are Re-Destro's words that makes them absolute." Trumpet reminds Skeptic correcting himself on the way.
"Welcome and thank you for coming liberation warriors it is I Re-Destro! From this moment forwards the super power liberation army shall we reborn!" Re-Destro greets the crowd of followers.
"I thought all of Tomura's hands were broken…" Toga frowns as they are all in the back waiting for their cue.
"Apparently just one of them was unscathed it's a miracle that it was still intact with all the destruction." Spinner says as Shigaraki sits on stage in front with a leg cast and a new coat on a chair while Re-Destro is in a wheelchair of some sort.
"So he's gonna make it his trademark." Toga assumes.
"Nothing wrong with your classic dead hand I guess?" Orochi shrugs.
"I'd always thought that in order to enlighten the world to Re-Destro's will the league would be a wall that stood in our way I firmly believe that until that fateful day but alas I was blind to the truth! I was a prisoner of my own blood bound by my doctrine but the I witnessed the liberation in its purest form and this is not a simple surrender! I believe that Tomura Shigaraki is the true liberator he has earned my utmost respect and thus I am abdicating my position out of necessity. The liberation army will now undergo its second coming with Tomura Shigaraki at the helm as our supreme leader and in order to follow our newfound path to liberation. The superpower liberation army and the league of villains shall join together and take on a new name!" Re-Destro continues talking to the crowd unaware of a certain hero among them.
"Ah that's our cue!" Toga rushes ahead.
"Hey Toga hold on…!" Orochi frets fretfully rushing after her.
"This name was devised by myself and Spinner of the league now Tomura Shigaraki if you would please the honors!" Re-Destro turns to the man with the cane.
"The paranormal liberation front…but names are no different from this thing, a decoration, call us whatever you want. We've discarded the title of villains and expanded super powers to a even broader interpretation. Further the nine individuals on the stage before you have been appointed as officers and will be forming their own squadrons with the members they choose. Anyway the name is the same as this hand as this declaration we'll do what we want." Shigaraki takes over as they all introduce themselves on stage, Toga, Twice and Compress posing, Dabi has his hands in his pockets acting aloof, Spinner in the back adjusting his headband and Orochi simply stands, swaying starting to nod off if not for a certain stapled hand tugging him back to reality, snapping him out of his sleepy state as he shyly stands beofre the cheering crowd.
"YEEEAHHH!" The crowd cheers as Hawks claps amongst them smiling.
"We were too late…No wonder he let me come in. They got an army of soldiers all untied under one cause. That's why this flew under the radar so easily…if we had just captured the league already, then civilians wouldn't have had to die. Feel good inc and their vast network detnetrat which has a strong connection with the hero industry and most likely…several more high end nomu. This group could do just anything even in this superhuman society overflowing with heroes, Shigaraki now command power equal if not greater than the heroes! Hawks continues clasping thinking back to a certain zipped up bag of a certain blonde offering it to the pleased Dabi.
"It's not Bombarda but he'll do." Dabi allows.
"You can't expect me to take her on do ya? My wings would be burnt to a crisp." Hawks heckles.
"Fair's fair." Dubiously, Dabi smirks suavely.
"Excellent work today grand commander can I introduce you to something to drink?" Re-Destro offers Shigaraki once off stage and behind the scenes.
"Go." Shigaraki offers
"Goodbye sir!" He takes off with Trumpet.
"I swear if he didn't have that chair he'd be on his knees for Shigi." Orochi huffs.
"Don't be gross." Toga frowns.
"What? I'm just saying…" Orochi huffs.
"Whoa! Urgh!" Shigaraki trips falling to his knees his hand casted forward.
"He took so much damage it's a miracle he's still alive." Compress eyes the sad state of Shigaraki.
"The paranormal liberation front that's what I call a flashy name well I guess it's better than something tacky like the league of villains." The doctor's voice calls out to them.
"Machia listened to me I played your damn game and I think I've reached that minimum level you were talking about…." Shigaraki smirks.
"You regained your memories and reverted back to the old you, including your quirk as promised. I will grant you power if that is what you desire." The doctor allows.
"Long live the liberation!" The liberation followers cheer.
"Wow I can't believe it's you, Hawks I have to know are you single?" A girl asks him.
"Why do you ask?" Hawks smiles.
"Well everyone's been buzzing about you and Bombarda!" The girl gossips giddily.
"Bombarda? Please as if I would go for a hothead like that I like cuties myself just like you." Hawks winks at her.
"KYAHH!" The girl squeals swooning.
"Hey you look happy number two up to something?" Dabi comes up to Hawks.
"Nah man I was just waiting for you, couldn't help but chose my pickings while I can you know?" Hawks smirks suavely.
"You sure Bombarda would like that?" Dabi remarks.
"Pff who cares what she thinks…now introduce me to everyone would ya?" Hawks smirks as Dabi does just that.
It's not over yet. If you fall behind Japan is finished. Alright Hawks from here on out, I still have a patron here...I need to get a handle on the situation and report this to Endeavor immediately. Hawks swears to himself, mingling with the liberation front…
So...what did you think of Orochi's dynamic with the league? Of him as a character?
