On a nearby rooftop after Stain died
Shigaraki's pov
I am pissed beyond belief. The Nomu were all defeated by the heroes, Stain saved the brat from the USJ, and worse it wasn't even the Nomu who killed Stain. Though I am glad Stain is dead, all of the other factors still piss me off. I start to scratch my neck harder than usual in anger.
"Tomura, we should leave before the heroes discover our location." Kurogiri says. "Why doesn't anything go my way?" I ask, ignoring what he said. "When I want someone dead, they'll be dead. But that brat is still alive and Garou is sleeping under our roof." I rant. "They should all just die. To suffer forever. To turn to ashes by my hand!" I yell. I stay silent for a while before finally speaking. "Let's go home." I say as Kurogiri opens a portal and I walk through. Upon exiting the portal, the T.V. turns on and I hear my master speaking.
"So you lost three of our Nomu." Master says. "I had to. Stain was pissing me off and needed to die." I explain. "*Sigh*…Tomura, do you know what your problem is?" Master asks. "No." I answer. "Your problem is that you cannot accept those with different views." Master says as I look confused. "You see, your allies may follow you, but they will have different views from you. While it can be a problem, it can also give you an advantage. By making your followers believe you have the same goals as them, you can make them follow you without question and eventually change their world views." Master explains.
"You must master this or there will be more villains who oppose against you." Master says as the T.V. cuts off . So I should make my followers think I have the same goals, but I can manipulate their ideals to fit mine. "Kurogiri." I call for Kurogiri. "Contact Giran and tell him we need recruits." I order. "As you wish, Young Master." Kurogiri says, going to contact Giran. It's time for me to get new pawns.
The next day in Moustafa
Dabi's pov
I am currently walking through the streets to clear my head. It's been quiet. Too quiet since Stain suddenly stopped his attacks. What happened to him? I see a few people watching the news on a huge bill board in the streets. Curious, I walk over and watch the news. "Last night, the Hero Killer, Stain, was found dead in Hosu city." The News Reporter says. What?!
"The heroes finally tracked down the villain and Stain died during the fight. The people of Japan can finally rest, knowing that the Hero Killer has finally been defeated." The Reporter says. It…can't be. Those bastards! Stain was my idol! My inspiration! It's because of him that I learned what is wrong with this society.
"However, the search continues for the Hero Hunter, Garou, who has been missing for nearly a month. The heroes theorized that both Garou and Stain may have worked together due to what Stain said in this video." The reporter says, pulling me out of my thoughts.
The news shows Stain in his final moments. In them, he says that Garou will be the one to reshape society. The video cuts off as the reporter continues, but I leave before she could continue. With Stain gone, Garou is the most likely one to take his place. Like Stain, he's made a big impression on society. Even though he doesn't finish the heroes off, his methods are still effective. If Stain says that Garou is the one to reshape society, then I will follow Garou to achieve his dream. And maybe make Endeavor pay.
My phone suddenly goes off as I look to see Giran calling me. "Hello." I answer. "Dabi! How have you been?" Giran greets me. "Cut the crap, what do you want?" I ask. "Ouch! That hurts you know." Giran pretends to be dramatic. "But if you must know, I think I have a proposition for you." Giran says, gaining my interest. "I'm listening." I say. "A group by the name of the League of Villains is looking for some recruits. And I figured you would be a good choice." Giran says.
"Wait, you mean the group that attacked the USJ only to lose like 1,000 villains in one day?" I ask. "Uh…Yeah. Those guys." Giran answers. "Why should I join a bunch of idiots who humiliated themselves?" I ask. "Well, rumor is that Stain worked with them and that they are dedicated to the Hero Killer's mission. And you do take Stain's ideology to heart." Giran answers.
Wait, that can't be right. The League of Villains tried to kill the students at UA and Stain would never kill kids. But maybe they changed? Either way, if it is true then maybe I can continue Stain's work. "I'll see if they're worth joining." I say.
"Great! I'll make arrangements now." Giran says. Then I think of something. "Hey, am I the only one going?" I ask. "Oh no, Toga is going as well." Giran answers. Oh god. "You can't be serious." I say. "Come on, she ain't that bad." Giran says. "She drinks blood and is a psycho." I say. "Just deal with it for tomorrow." Giran says. "Ugh. Fine." I say, hanging up. Time to get ready for the meeting.
The next day in the bar of the League of Villains
Shigaraki's pov
I sit in the bar, waiting for Giran and the new recruits while looking at the photo of a brat that I tried to kill back at the USJ. "Are you curious, Tomura Shigaraki? About this boy? Izuku Midoriya?" Kurogiri asks. "Yeah I am. From what I saw, he was the one who killed Stain even though the heroes won't admit it. If he has the guts to kill someone, he might be a potential member." I say. The door opens, revealing Giran.
"Shigaraki. Your League of Villains has been the talk of the town for the last several days." Giran says entering the bar. "Word on the streets is you're about to start something big." Giran says as I turn the photo of the brat to dust. "And? Who did you bring?" I ask, getting to the point. Giran simply smirks as he goes to get the recruits.
I hear a couple of footsteps walking in when a voice speaks, "So it's really you, huh? I've seen you in pictures. But I gotta say, you're way grosser in person." A man says. "Wow, it's the weird hand guy! You're friends with my hero, Stain, right?! Cool! Let me join the League! I wanna be in your group!" A crazy girl says.
I look over towards them and see their features. The guy who spoke to me is wearing dark blue jeans and a jacket, has a white t-shirt under the jacket, has black hair, and is covered in burns all over his body with staples holding his skin together. The crazy girl is wearing a school girl outfit, has blonde hair tied in two ponytails, and has a crazy look in her eye. Overall, they look like freaks. I don't like them.
"Kurogiri, get rid of these two. I can already tell they're the kind of trash I hate." I order Kurogiri. "A brat, and a guy with no manners." I say, insulting the girl and the guy. "Now, now, Tomura Shigaraki. They came all this way, the least we can do is hear them out. Give them a chance." Kurogiri explains. "Besides this broker is respected in the underworld. They're bound to be valuable assets." Kurogiri says.
"Like' em or not, you still owe me a finder's fee. In cash." Giran says, smoking. "I suppose I can introduce the two of 'em before I go." Giran says. "This one looks like an adorable high school girl, right? She's actually the suspect in a series of deaths where the victims all bled to death. So far, her name and face have been kept out of the media." Giran says, explaining the girl's background. "Toga, here. Himiko Toga!" The girl named Toga introduces herself.
"Life is too hard. I just want to make it easier to live in this dumb world. I wanna be Mr. Stainy! I wanna kill Mr. Stainy! Come on handy-man, please let me join your League of Villains." Toga says with a psychotic grin. 1. What the fuck? 2. What the fuck? "You gotta be kidding me? Is she crazy?" I ask Giran. "Well she can hold a conversation. For the most part, at least. C'mon, she can be useful." Giran says.
"And this guy hasn't committed any flashy crimes, but he's taken Stain's ideology to heart." Giran says, pointing to the burnt guy. "I don't like this. Is your group really dedicated to the Hero Killer's mission? I can't imagine you are if you're gonna let this little psycho join you." The burnt guy says as Toga giggles. "Grow up. She may be a psycho, but at least she knows how to introduce herself to people." I say.
"Don't just stare. What's your name?" I ask. "Right now I'm going by Dabi." The guy, Dabi, says. "No, I want to know your real name." I say, irritated. "I'll tell you when you need to know it." Dabi says. "In any case, my new purpose is to carry out the Hero Killer's will." Dabi says.
"That wasn't what I asked you, patchwork." I say, irritated. "Jeez. Why is everyone so hung up on Stain? He's all I ever hear about. Him and Garou." I say, angry. I notice that they, for some reason, all look shocked about something as they look behind me, but I'm too angry to care about it. "Every damn day I have to hear their names. It's really pissing me off!" I yell, standing up. "You two are–" I'm cut off when someone grabs my wrist when I was about to attack Dabi and Toga.
"What the hell do you want with me you son of a bitch?" A familiar voice asks. No. He can't be awake yet! I slowly turn around to see the person who destroyed my lungs. The Hero Hunter, Garou.
(Note: So, now that Garou is back in action, I will again remind you guys to tell me what version of Garou you want. Webcomic or Manga. After a couple more chapters is when the final decision will happen, so be quick about it. And thank you guys for all your support.)
