Prelude - the hunchback and his three kids

Musutafu, let's say 1 year before the sludge villain attack.

On an early morning in the outskirts of musutafu, a hunched figure walks to a shabby looking garage.

Though you couldn't really tell they were hunched back by looking at it from a distance. With their black cloak, hood, dirty boots, ragged gloves, and completely masked face, someone would just assume they were naturally short.

They walk ever so slowly, seemingly in no rush to reach the garage, which looks more like a house sized storage area. However as soon as they reach the door, suddenly they stop.

They stand there for a minute, not moving an inch, they just remain stationary as their cloak rustels a bit. Lumps appearing in the coat, Almost as if something is moving inside it.

When the lumps stop, the figure turns around and stares at the street, and the voice of a young man comes from an alley.

"Alright, that's enough, they know we're here"

From the shadows comes a pale man wearing an all black suit with a gray tie and a plague doctor mask. Behind him are three others in similar masks.

The first with a black cloak and bowler hat, the second is a muscular man in a black tank top, and the third in a white raincoat.

"I'm quite surprised you saw us" the man says "My name is-"

"Chisaki"

Gold eyes go wide as the voice of a man and woman comes from the cloaked hunchback.

"You were that boy he took in, we met once before, many years ago. Tell me, why couldn't he be here today?."

Chisski looks down "the boss fell ill, I'm in charge until he recovers" he explains, never looking at the hooded figure.

There's a silence before the hunchback responds "very unfortunate, if he needs a new limb or organ, I can help. I can't, however, fix diseases, that's not my area of interest."

"That's no concern, we have the boss's health completely under control. I came to you today for help in a certain…project I have going on."

The hunchback's cloak shifts again, multiple lumps moving around inside. "Very well, as a courtesy to the boss, I'll listen".

And so chisaki goes on, about a young girl with an extraordinary quirk, and his plans to use it in order to bring the Yakuza to the top.

As he finishes, the man in a white rain coat speaks up. "Are you sure you should be telling him about eri?"

"It's fine Chrono, this one won't go to the cops, and from what the boss told me, I doubt they'll care about morals" chisaki explains with cold eyes.

It's silent again as the hunchback processes Chisaki's proposal, the lumps still shifting as they think. Just as Chisaki is about to speak again, the hunchback sighs.

"Maybee"

You couldn't tell from the mask, but Chisaki was smiling "if you need proof that our results are tangible, I can prepare a list a documents that show-"

Chisaki is cut off when something shoots out of the hunchback's coat, it is stopped by the muscular man who placed his entire arm between himself and Chisaki.

What slams into the man's arm hard enough to bruise is a mechanical bee, red and white in color.

The bowler hat wearing man pulls out a gun, and Chronostasis takes a stance.

Chisaki's eyes stay cold and focused, fixated on the hunchback, who speaks up.

"If you had come to me say…3 years ago, I would have said yes. Unfortunately, I have kids to take care of"

The hunchback snaps their fingers, and the mechanical bee lets out a shriek. Not loud enough to shake the four Yakuza, but enough to make the garage doors open.

From the door comes three individuals, two human at first glance, one that is clearly someone with a mutation quirk.

The first is a man with dark brown skin and a nappy Mohawk. He is shirtless and wearing baggy pajama pants, but what stands out are his arms and feet. Starting from his elbow, his arms are robotic, white in color with claws on his fingers. His feet are the same with white metal being seen instead of flesh.

The second is a tan woman of great size, at least 10ft tall and fit with bright red hair. She wears the same pants as the first man, though much larger, with a giant shirt to match. Her robotic arms go all the way up to her shoulders, orange in color with green lights on the shoulders and back of her hands.

That last catches the eye of the four Yakuza, it is a pitch black snake woman with two heads. Both have blue hair, though the left has a purple streak, while the right has yellow. They wear what appears to be the shirt that should go with the first man's pajama pants, while the bottom is completely bare with a strange add on. They look like mechanical legs, but with giant wheels starting from the knees instead of feet.

"These are my children, the topologics. Codenames bomber, zeroboros and trisbaena" the hunchback proclaims while pointing to the tall woman, the dark skinned man, and the twin serpent respectively.

Orange translucent spheres surround the tan woman, one of them flying off and exploding in the tank top mans face.

The twin serpents move at great speed, grabbing the bowl hats gun.

When Chisaki lunges forward and touches the hunchback, he is surprised to find that is quirk won't activate.

"You are in my territory, no quirks will be active here" says the dark skinned man. Chisaki looked around him to see a white circle of light surrounding him.

"You are correct Chisaki, I will not tell anyone about you, for I have no right to judge you. I, however, will not help you in your endeavor, for I have higher priorities."

The eight stare each other down, a battle about to take place until they are stopped by the sound of footsteps.

"Heroes!" Shouts Chrono, and the Yakuza flee, Chisaki never looking away from the hunchback as he runs off.

After a fake explanation to the local hero about the noise, the hunchback and his three kids head back into the garage.

"what was that about?" that tall woman asks

"Nothing important my child, they were asking about life I long since abandoned." The hunchback answers as the mechanical bee re-enters their coat.

"Don't call us your children" the right head of the serpent woman begins. "It's weird" the left finishes.

The hunchback pays them no mind as he looks to the bark skinned man, "and where are you headed, Logan?"

A robotic limb points to the door leading to the garage basement, "I'm gonna check on the new kid" Logan says as he heads to the door.

"I was really hoping for a fight, we haven't done anything in the past month" the tall woman complains, tossing off her shirt and heading to the bathroom.

"Layla please, pick up your clothes" the hunchback sighs.

"I will after I shower!" Layla shouts as she heads to the bathroom, she never picks up her clothes.

Picking up the discarded clothes, the hunchback looks to the twin serpents. "And what would you all like for breakfast this morning?"

"breakfast burrito" the right head says, "with a large mug of coffee" the other head states.

"Two straws?"

"Yes please" both heads speak at once.

The hunchback goes to the kitchen, getting eggs, bacon, bell pepper, and various spices. He isn't able to start cooking as he gets a call.

"Well isn't that a nice surprise I haven't heard from him since his wedding" the hunchback whimsies as they answer the phone.

"Hisashi, how-" he is cut off by the ragged breath of a man in tears.

"IT'S MY SON! I NEED HELP!!"
