King
The Strongest Bullshitter
(...I'm…okay, you got me there.)
Hosu city
King smirked in triumph as he exited out of a store with a bag in hand, as he walked along the sidewalk to make his way for the train station, he held up his plastic bag in hand and pulled out a game case; King smiled as he pulled out his newly bought Heartthrob sisters sim game. "Yup…" He began to say as he walked along the sidewalk, "Nothing beats the feel and smell of a new game, can't wait to try this one out." he mused to himself.
Once King put the game in its case back in the plastic back, he put it in the front pocket of his hoodie to walk hands free. As he continued to walk, he began to pick up the sounds of shouts and cries of alarms and panic from afar. "Hm?" he mumbled out as he turned his head to look around, his eyes widened to see the sight of a Flying Noumu in the distance and fire raging atop some roof tops. With a thought in mind, King took to the alley ways to be seen less and headed his way toward the nearest train station. As he walked through the alleyways, he pulled out a handheld gaming system from one of his pockets to occupy his time. The way ahead was clear, and he could use his peripheral vision to walk around anything that'd be in his way.
King however halted in his steps when he realized the game he resumed playing was a bit more on the heavy side of focusing his attention on the game, plus he had just saved before fighting the last boss. Thus with a decision in mind, King opted to see if he could speed run the boss and defeat it quickly, before putting his game away and continuing on to leave Hosu and the ongoing mayhem going on in the distance elsewhere. King smirked as he controlled his character to face off against a stealth oriented boss fight, "Oh, so you finally came out of hiding, eh?" he muttered out with a smirk.
As King continued to play his hand held video game, he continued to verbally chastise the in-game boss. "You think you're so swift, hiding in the darkness and corners like that." he taunted the in-game boss as he thumbed the buttons quickly to control his player character to dodge and evade every attack from the enemy. "Your attacks are swift, I'll give you that; But you are no match for my sonic boom attacks and kung-fu moves."
The man began to do a little bit of button mashing after getting a bit of a surprise attack from the boss, "Oho, your moves with your blades are quite fast and sharp, but many before you have tried the same. Just like countless others before you, every lethal attempt on my life only makes me stronger, better, faster, greater!" He taunted the in-game boss. "Allow me to show you how I fight with the lethality of blades, all the while leaving you helpless with a shred of life left afterwards; You'll be at my feet, barely clinging to life, just like so many other deadly villains before you." King said with a confident smirk as he continued to beat the in-game boss with its health slowly dwindling to near zero, "How about I finish it now, and leave you in a whimpering mess, a mercy compared to what I'd really do if I went all out."
The sound of metal clattering behind King just after he defeated the boss prompted him to slowly look around with a certain look on his face, "what the, there was someone behind me?" he asked himself as he faced off against a rather odd looking person, the man seemed to give a look of sheer awe and regret while he was on his knee in despair; the oddly looking man had two sets of blades beside him, both had a few nicks in them and a some red looking stuff on them.
"I don't understand…" The unknown man said to King with a withering glare up at him.
Earlier With Chizome Akaguro, Aka The hero Killer; Stain
It was all too easy, Stain believed to himself, as he stalked King down through the alleyway; The supposed 'strongest man on earth' had his back turned and nothing about the man seemed like he had any situational awareness. As Chizome stalked from the rooftops above, he caught sight of King pausing in his steps to pull out a handheld gaming system of all things; Stain could only deadpan in disbelief as the hero began playing whilst ignoring his situation of being in a dark alleyway. Either King was overconfident in his abilities, or perhaps he was laying in wait specifically for him? Stain was afterall stalking Hosu at the moment, and King was simply baiting him out to attack.
"No matter." Stain said silently to himself as he leaned over the edge of the rooftop to prepare to leap down and land behind King, "King will be the wake up call to Japan once I take his life!" he declared before leaping off the ledge and landing silently behind King. As Stain began to stand up from his crouching stance, he quietly slid out his blades to prepare to slice King up. "Oh, so you finally came out of hiding, eh?" The hero said whilst facing away from Stain.
Stain meanwhile felt like his heart dropped in his stomach, "What!? He knew all this time!? No wait, he was baiting me out after all!" Stain mentally scolded himself as he stilled himself, unsure as to how to move from this point forward. "Wait, no matter how powerful he may be, so long as I can get a cut and lick from his body, I'll still be able to win!" Stain berated himself of his brief panic, and continued to pull his blades out and ready himself to attack King.
"You think you're so swift, hiding in the darkness and corners like that." King continued to speak, while Stain panicked more in his mind. "Wait, what? Does he already know about my quirk? No wait, has he been planning this all out to cease my crusade upon fake heroes?" Stain questioned himself with increasing panic.
As Stain began to make a silent retreat, the next words from King's mouth caused him to panic further, "Your attacks are swift, I'll give you that; But you are no match for my sonic boom attacks and kung-fu moves." Stain began to visibly sweat and stop retreating, unsure how to leave the scene if what King said was true. "Shit! He knows Kung Fu, and somehow managed to bring to reality Guile's move from Street Fighter?" Stain screamed in his mind with disbelief, "Is that how and why King is dubbed the Strongest man on Earth?" Shit shit shit! I can fight in close quarters, but no way can I fight a guy that can bring to life actual video game moves!"
Stain nervously gulped down the spit building in his mouth, "Wait, is that his quirk? Bringing to life actual moves from video games? How in the hell do I fight that?" Stain yelled in his mind, then glanced at his blood stained blades; however the next words from King caused Stain to wither in despair. "Oho, your moves with your blades are quite fast and sharp, but many before you have tried the same. Just like countless others before you, every lethal attempt on my life only makes me stronger, better, faster, greater!"
"What in the actual hell!" Stain yelled in his mind in protest, his eyes shook wide open with shock, "This guy's already encountered others that have tried to take his life? Others that have attempted achieved whatever other grandiose goal they had in mind, only to be easily defeated by King? And he's been getting stronger after each attempt? Who is this man!" Stain screamed in his mind with shock and awe.
"Allow me to show you how I fight with the lethality of blades, all the while leaving you helpless with a shred of life left afterwards; You'll be at my feet, barely clinging to life, just like so many other deadly villains before you." King uttered out the words that sent Stain reeling and began regretting ever trying to take out king, "shit, I got to leave before-" Stain mentally told himself to try and escape, before King spoke once again. "How about I finish it now, and leave you in a whimpering mess, a mercy compared to what I'd really do if I went all out."
Chizome Akaguro, right then and there, felt close to just giving up his crusade, but at the moment he could only think of just surrendering. He couldn't contend with the Strongest man on Earth, thus he dropped his weapons and collapsed to his knees in despair. The sound of the clattering prompted King to slowly turn around, and Chizome swore he saw the most intimidating stare a hero has ever given him. The best thing he could do was glare up at King. "I don't understand."
Bump bump bump bump
As Stain began to panic more from hearing the fabled King's engine, he could only think so himself. "Shit! He's about to attack!" After a few seconds passed between the two, King spoke up first. "You don't understand? Don't understand what?" he asked with an intimidating stare and atmosphere around him.
Meanwhile inside King's mind, he was panicking a mile a minute, "Holy crap, is that the Hero Killer I've heard about? Oh crap! And here I am in the dead of an alleyway." "You don't understand why I'm so powerful?" King tried to bullshit his way to safety with his heart beating ever faster from him panicking.
Stain slammed his fist on the ground while he continued to glare up at King, "All that power, is all that money you earn satisfy your endless greed?" Stain tried to argue with King.
King simply blinked while his heart continued to beat loudly, "...I don't keep most of the funds…if that's what you are asking…" he said with a stern face, while inside his mind he was thinking, "The amount of money I get is way too much for me! Hell, most of the time I feel I don't deserve it, and that's why I give the extra income to charities and the like. The last check had too many zeros! I just wanted a job with a stable income to fund my gaming hobbies!" King rationalized in his mind.
Stain blinked unsurely, "what?" he questioned, causing King to Elaborate further, "I live rather simple, hero killer, the amount of money I earn is far too much; It's why I opened up the 'King's foundation' charity."
"...You mean…the King's foundation isn't some money laundering business?" Stain questioned the hero.
King could only give Stain a surprised look, "Who told you it was a money laundering business? The money I donate goes to the victims of villains and disasters." he remarked with a rather firm and annoyed tone.
Stain wilted ever further, "I…I don't know what's real anymore…" he despaired as he collapsed from his mental fatigue. King on the other hand internally sighed with relief, "A monthly wage of a hundred million yen is too much damn it! And who even spread some inane lie that I own a money laundering business? The 'King's foundation' was Sasaki's suggestion after all, and now I feel I owe him my life for this moment!"
As King stood over the collapsed body of Stain, a cry of shock and awe rang loud and clear behind him; King turned around to see three highschool looking kids. One amongst them in particular was glaring at the collapsed form of Stain. King glanced between the kids and the passed out form of the Hero killer. "I can explain-" The kid with the glasses gave him a deep bow of respect. "I thank you greatly King!"
"I didn't even do anything…or atleast…I think I didn't…" King Screamed in his mind.
