I dont own MHA or DC
Shota Aizawa was not having a good day. He was already a couple weeks out from the new school year and has been planning his new class schedule after results for the entrance exam were finalized. But that was normal stress, his mind was currently occupied by other news.
His fellow teachers were in the meeting room to discuss the upcoming year.
"Shota, you seem to have something on your mind, you have yet to chime in"
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Aizawa looked to his boss, principal nezu of the UA hero school. Sighing he decided to trust his colleges with his concerns.
"Huuh, about two months ago some chatter has been making its way through the underground heroe network. Apparently some heroes have gone completely dark."
"It can't be too bad, underground heroes usually take long periods of silence to go undercover. Only reason we've never seen you do it is because you work here," Midnight says leaning on the table.
"That's not the issue. I've got info from underground reports in america…" he gets cut off by his loud friend presents mic
"What going on in america that's been making you so unfocused"
"If you let me finish you'll know, as i was saying, two months ago news was spread about 21 underground heroes in america went dark 6 months before and have yet to resurface. The known information is that each of the 21 were investigating alarming rumors that had been spreading around the states for a month before they all went dark."
"What were the rumors and how does that affect the heroes?" sekijiro kan aka the hero vlad king asks
"The rumors were all about different things, drugs, money, weapons, but it's the fact each rumor had designated the date of when gatherings would take place for anyone who wanted to see if it was true. They all correspond on the same night 8 months ago, and it's only two months ago that the underground heroes have pieced this together."
"That is rather concerning, but this is all in America, why are you so invested?"
"Because similar rumors have started popping up here in japan"
All the heroes blanched at what Aizawa was impling. It was clear that some organized force was operating in America and seemingly took out 21 underground heroes. Now whatever organization spread the rumors, they are here in japan. Nezu put his paws together as he began to think. Clearly this was an organized force making moves in the shadows.
"Thank you for this info shota, i had not heard of this yet but i will be keeping my eye on it, now, shall we continue with our meeting."
Izuku midoriya was on cloud 9 as he worked out in his apartment's living room. He had gotten accepted into UA after receiving the number one hero all mights quirk, one for all. His mom was making dinner while he was watching the news for any villain attacks so he can catch any hero fights.
"Breaking news a new villain has appeared in kamino ward"
Izuku sat down his attention drawn as his mother came to sit with him bringing dinner
"About 5 minutes ago heroes respond to a brake in at the local bank to confront the villain, we had to move away to not be caught in the crossfire but were sure the heroes will defeat the villain swiftly"
Just as the reporter says that, a building inshot behind her explodes, a few heroes, judging from the costumes, come flying out heavily injured. As the camera turns to the broken wall a massive person probably 4 meters tall walks out carrying something. The villain seems to be made of stone.
"The villain seems to have defeated the heroes, and oh my gosh is that the bank vault?"
Panning up the camer shows off the bank vault as the villain lift it over head with ease. The villain seems to stare right at the reporter before walking away. The heroes get up yelling at the villain to stop but he just keeps walking. Out of knowhere, a flash of white appears as a new hero arrives kicking the villain's hand and forcing him to drop the vault.
"Halt right there villain, I, Ingenium place you under arrest"
"Oh thank goodness the hero has ingenium has arrive to beat the villain" the reporter cheers as do the civilians watching the fight
Izuku is geeking out at the arrival of ingenium as he writes in his notebook everything about the villain and his quirk.
"He seems to be made of stone, maybe concrete, which seems to give him enhance strength, plus he's really big, not as big as my lady but definitely bigger than all might, does he absorb concrete to grow larger or is he heteromorphic and just looks like that instead of making cement armor…" izuku mutters watching the fight
The villain just looks at ingenium with disinterest before reaching to grab the vault again. Ingenium moves quickly to aim for his head and knock the villain out, but it barely does anything as the villain backhands him into a wall stunning him before grabbing the vault and marching into an ally way out of sight. Ingenium rushes to the ally only to find it completely empty.
"Impossible he couldn't have escaped so quickly"
"I dont believe it folks the villain seems to have escaped after putting two pro heroes in critical condition, Igenium what do you have to say after letting the villain escape, your one of the fastest heroes around after all, how could you not catch them"
"I assure you the villain will not roam free for long, i will also have sidekicks at my agency out looking for him"
Izuku was surprised, it was very rare for any villain to escape and not be captured by the heroes. The villain had stolen an entire bank vault ripped right from the building, lots of people trusted the banks with their money so a lot of people were going to be affected as the villain just stoll most of it. Izuku hoped the villain would be caught soon, as he went off to bed.
On the outskirts of Kamino ward in a deserted alley, the shadows casted by moonlight shifted and grew before two figures walked out of them. One the villain from the bank the other a man in a black suit.
"Cinderblock, when we told you to go rob a bank, we didn't mean one in the middle of the city. More around the edge" shade says looking at cinderblock who doesn't respond but looks to the side. Shade could tell he was embarrassed.
"Well, I guess this still works out, i'll take the vault back with me, you wander around for a while. The intel our shadows gathered said that someone was recruiting low grade villains for a job so, hopefully with this little outing and camera coverage of you beating the heroes, they'll want to recruit you" The vault begins to sink into shadow as does shade. "I know you like your silence, but you'll need to communicate with whoever hires you, they probably won't be able to read you like we can. Ta ta" Cinder Block nods as shade disappears before moving.
It was a few hours later when something new happened. It wasnt quite daybreak yet so many citizens were still asleep, unaware of the encounter about to take place. Cinder Block was moving with no desired location waiting to be found by the villain rumored to be recruiting others. If the info the shadows collect was right, which they usually are, this will lead his associates directly to one of the big bads of japan's villains. His mission was to garner attention and join with the villain recruiter then be taken to whos in charge.
"My you sure are a big fella"
Cinder Block turned to the voice to see at the end of the alley he was in a man in a purple suit and glasses leaning against the wall smoking.
"The names giran and i must say that stunt you pulled earlier tonight was something. Beat two heroes completely and managed to evade another. I'll cut to the chase, I'm here to offer you a deal. I have a customer whos looking to recruit fellas like you for a job there planning, whaddya say?"
Cinderblock said nothing and just stared at the man. Giran however wasn't put off by this and rolled with.
"Silent type eh, no biggie, a simple nod or shake well do so here's the job. My customer is looking for anyone who wants a crack at some heroes and is planning an attack on some prominent heroes. So you in or do you need a little more incentive?" Giran said as he took a smoke.
Cinderblock continued to stare before nodding his. Giran smiled at the confirmation.
"Well now that that's settled I'll lead you to my customer, lucky for you there in the city as well."
Giran led cinderblock through back allies for a while before they finally stopped in front of a small bar. It wasn't much but maybe it was like the legion of dooms or the brotherhood's secret bases. Small and unassuming to the point no one would glance at it only for it to be a massive secret lair or laboratory. Cinderblock was told that the group he was infiltrating had some secret figure pulling its strings, much like how the Brain was coordinating everything between the legion of doom, HIVE, The League of Shadows, any one acting as independent agents and of course the brain's own brotherhood.
Giran walked through the door while cinderblock stayed outside, and from what he could see, he was not going to fit. Giran held the door open and seemed to be talking to someone out of sight but what cinderblock could see was a small dingy old bar. Cinderblock was not impressed.
Giran stepped out of the doorway as a new person stepped into view. They wore a rather nice suit though their head and hands seemed to be made of a purple and black fog.
"Alright big guy, this is the customer i was talking about. Meet kurogiri" kurogiri stared at the massive rock man infront and believe that this was the best of the minor villains they've recruited.
"Greetings, you have come to join our crusade against the heroes?" kurogiri just watched the rock man nod his head.
"He's not much of a talker but he will definitely provide some muscle. Apparently he robbed a bank earlier tonight and stole the whole vault."
"How intriguing, yes your strength will definitely be useful to us. All me to move this conversation elsewhere"
A purple and black portal formed next to them before kurogiri walked through having cinderblock and giran fallow. They emerge in a large warehouse filled with other people. All of them were minor villains recruited for the job like cinderblock.
"This is where you'll stay for the next few weeks before our operation begins." Cinderblock just nodded before moving over to sit against the wall as Kurogiri and giran left. Some of the villains tried to speak to him but cinderblock ignored them. This is where he sat for weeks watching more villains brought in before the day of the operation. During that whole time cinderblock didn't move an inch as the villains just chose to ignore him.
Finally it was the day. Kurogiri appeared before all of the villains with a new person by his side covered in severed hands and a massive thing with an exposed brain and beak mouth. The boy, cinderblock realized based on how young he was, called himself tomura shigaraki and claimed he was incharge. Kurogiri then opened a large warp gate that shigaraki and the creature stepped through. The other villains didn't really question this as many begane to walk through the gate as well.
Cinderblock got up and walked towards the gate, his imposing figure making the villain move out of his way. Just before he entered the gate cinderblock activated a hidden device he had before stepping through.
In an undisclosed location the brain was conversing with the other members of the light.
"Our progress on this world has gone along as planned, the establishment of the legion of doom has proved most fruitful. In a world oversaturated with heroes there are just as many villains for us to use. Thousands have joined the legion and while many of their meta abilities can be sub par we have been able to enhance or supplement them with our own resources." brain said
Vandal smiled at the progress, "Excellent, with so many members its expected that some will be of different ranks of power and ability"
"That's not to mention the number of non-metas who also joined, many have been eager to get their hands on the technology presented at the showcase." queen bee added
"Not every, quirkless, in their worlds terms, was inducted into the legion though. How has the training under bronze tiger gone?" Deathstroke questioned
"Exceedingly well, bronze tiger has trained over 800 non-metas and handful of metas with weak quirks to the acceptable level the league of shadows requires. We have broken down any biases previously held after many of our shadows showcase there new skill to our quirked members by having them beat the quirkest members into the ground."
Deathstroke hummed pleased by the information.
"What of the new science divisions?" luthor asked
"Combined with our own technologies we've made a few more breakthroughs, and have once again proven to the people of this world that quirks are not everything. There is of note the floating science facility known as I-island where the greatest technologies of this world are created, but plans have been made to see if the truly have anything we possibly could not."
"I'll be impressed if they have anything not related to heroes or quirks. Haaaaa, such a ridiculous name" luthor concluded while sighing
"How have the new students of the academy come along, brain?" Bee asked curious about her investment.
"There have been some setbacks, but nothing brother blood could not take care of. In other related news, cinder block infiltrated the new villain group in Japan, called the league of villains. The information collected by the shadows were correct and cinderblock has activated his homing beacon. This league has apparently launched an attack on the hero school known as UA."
"How interesting, hmm, Brain send the top class of hive to help cinder block."
The other members of the light were brought to attention by bees words. Klarion who was not previously paying attention sat up in his chair. The words being said promised chaos and upheaval. Even vandal was intrigued, seeing were bee was going.
"You wish for hive academy to go public on this earth."
"Yes, it will cause a large new distraction for the heroes of this world, allowing our more important assets to slip further into shadow."
"The idea of a villain school will cause great change to their society, one that we can take advantage of.
"Yes, I will inform brother blood of these new plans" brain stated "It will certainly be interesting to see if the young heroes of the world can stand against ours like the titans, outsiders and team do."
"We must move carefully and not underestimate them, young heroes have disrupted our plans before, Kaldur'ahm and Grayson as well as the others have always been thorns in our side. Best not let it happen again." Vandal declared.
The light began to sign off leaving Brain and Vandal.
"Look into the hero schools, we've seen what young heroes can do, I want to know of any that might be a threat" vandal said before he signed off.
"It will be done, this world will see our light" brain said be he to signed off.
Sorry for the long wait, will try to put out chapters more quickly
