The main HQ of the League of Villians was in a deathly, quiet state. Not that the ghastly bartender, Kurogiri, minded.

He now had the chance to relax after having to suffer through the bloodthirsty rambling of their newest ally, Himiko Toga.

Even though her urge to spill blood would eventually prove to have it's benefits, her never-ending mouth running was a glaring flaw that needed to he taken care of before it caused a certain someone to explode.

"Where has Dabi went?" Came the grave, irritated voice of Shigaraki: All For One's main pupil.

"He is out searching for Blight. Says he wants to prevent him from getting noticed by the public."

"Well he better hurry up before it's too late." Shigaraki responded with harshness and urgency.

"Blight is not a fool, Shigaraki-san. He may be the prideful and arrogant type, but he knows when it's wise to not cause such recklessness." Kurogiri calmed down the short fuse of the young man.

The light growl that emitted from Shigaraki's throat was his last defensive response before he fell silent, returning the atmosphere that one would experience at a funeral.

The glowing, yellow eyes of the ghastly bartender drifted to the main door that was opened by their other young ally, who called himself Dabi.

And following right behind him was the walking hazard himself, Blight.

"Has that stupid girl left?" Asked the irritated Blight.

Kurogiri knew who he was referring to. "Yes, she said that she would busy herself finding another toy for her to play with."

"Then let's hope that 'toy' of hers lasts until tomorrow. I very much intend to not deal with that engine she has for a mouth."

"I wholeheartedly agree with you on that one, Blight." Shigaraki said, his grave voice returning.

A humph was the wordless response from the walking hazard.

He approached the bar, placing his glove covered hands on the smooth, wooden surface.

He let out a single but deep, frustrated breath. "How hard is it for all of you to recruit competent people into this organization?"

"Not everyone wants to follow the orders of our leader. That prospect of our contract would not up to their… personal liking." Kurogiri coolly explained to the irritated Blight.

"Tch, that or you people don't have the proper intelligence for this business."

The visible red eye of All For One's pupil narrowed menacingly.

"What do you mean by not having the proper intelligence?" Kurogiri inquired.

"Where should I start here… oh, how about the obvious fact that you decided it would be a grand idea to direct a ton of manpower to attack a school filled with stupid children!!"

It wasn't a moral compass that was the cause for Blight's outburst. He could have cared less about the well being of those brats. Much less whether they were left as rotting corpses, or had their fragile little bones shattered beyond repair.

He was simply infuriated and confused as to why the League of Villians would waste such valuable numbers on something so inconvenient and worthless.

They were hailed as one of the most fearsome crime organizations around here, but them getting defeated by a bunch of naive children was saying otherwise.

"Be careful on how you speak about our business, Blight." The pupil of All For One let out his warning to the man that had the nerve to insult their methods.

Blight, of course, was not fazed by the warning in the slightest. All he did was narrow the holes of his skull at the brat who truly believed that his master's words are absolute.

"And what happens if I keep on going, hm?"

Shigaraki would have responded by striking at his skeletal structure using his superhuman speed, getting a firm grasp onto those bones and disintegrating them until they remained as nothing but ashes.

Unfortunately for him, that outcome would never be able to come to fruition. Due to Blight's exterior being composed of the hottest, radioactive material no person would be able to handle, Shigaraki's hands could make the briefest contact with the radioactive flesh and they would instantly get obliterated into nothingness.

So having no other choice but to forcefully suppress his killer intent, Shigaraki stayed in his seat, letting Blight earn his victory.

"You made a wise choice, boy."

The pupil of All For One responded with a light growl, sending the living hazard an eye filled with fury.

"If you two are done bickering, I would like to present the following request from the boss." Kurogiri announced in his calm, collected voice.

The announcement easily brought the attention from the two dangerous villians.

"What does the man want now?" Blight asked with less irritation in his voice.

Shigaraki sent the man another glare, not liking how he wasn't showing proper respect to his mentor. But alas, he held back his urge to violently snap back, turning his attention back at the bartender.

"His request isn't as big as you think, Blight, he simply wants to talk to the both of you."

"Then I might as well get this over with." Blight muttered to himself, lightly pushing his frame off the bar's surface and making his way to the back door.

Shigaraki trailed not too far behind him. He kept enough distance to prevent his body from getting eviscerated by radioactive heat.

The door of All For One's room opened, the two requested individuals falling in and laying their sights on the man laying down on the hospital issued bed.

"You requested for us, master?" Shigaraki softly asked to the leader of the League.

"I did, Young Shigaraki." The man wired to the life support machine confirmed.

("And here I thought I was the only one who received the short end of the stick.") The radioactive man mused to himself.

All For One's deformed face turn to where Blight was standing.

"It seems as if the gloves are working quite well for you."

"Hmph, they may be the most hideous things I have ever worn, but they are handling my power far more better than I expected."

A low, dark chuckle resonated through the empty room.

"That is good to hear. I have recently spoken with a contact of mine. He'd promised that he will build you a suit that will be able to handle your power."

("About time some good news arrived.")

"But is there a catch?" Blight inquired.

"You don't have to worry about that, my dear friend. Just stay around until the time calls for your help." All For One dismissed Blight's worries.

"Very well. Will that be all you require?"

"Yes. You may leave."

With that order set, Blight gave the leader a curt bow and left the room.

"You don't like him, Young Shigaraki."

The statement held no curiosity or questioning. All For One has long been familiarized with the mind of his pupil the same way he was familiar with all the quirks he has stolen.

"Do you even hear what he says about our operations!? I swear, if he wasn't made out of pure radiation, I would've erased his sorry ass on day one!!"

The leader of the League sent his pupil a frown. It was enough for Shigaraki's short fuse to be snuffed out.

"I'm… sorry, master. I didn't mean to act like that."

The lips of the deformed man went up to form a easy grin. "It's alright, Young Shigaraki. It brings me comfort to hear your strong loyalty to my League."

Relief washed all over Shigaraki's nerves.

"Thank you, master. So… what's our next move?"

"For now, let's bring our focus to the increase in our numbers. We have gotten other recruits besides Blight, right?"

"Yes. And some will definitely help us make our next mission more of a success." Shigaraki answered with his usual, unnerving enthusiasm.

A sinister grin was All For One's response. "Excellent! Tell me, Young Shigaraki, which members can help us defeat the students at UA?"

A/N: Let's be real here, Shigaraki does not stand a slim fucking chance against Blight. Plot armor bullshit will not help him here. And I don't care if he canonically survived a nuclear blast, a beast like Blight is far too risky for any walking soul to even try and graze him.

Also, I'm gonna have to binge watch all of the earlier seasons of MHA since there may be a chance that I'll fuck up the canonical time-line of the anime via not adding in a few important details.

Either way, hoped you all enjoyed this chapter of Blight asserting dominance ;)
