Chapter 1: Please Allow Me To Introduce Myself…
The first week of the new living arrangements for everyone had been…interesting to say the least. Some adjusted better than others, ranging from awkward to acceptable, uneasy to unnerving, or being with best friends to flat out trying not to kill one another.
Since the Shimano kids were roomed without a guardian like Kota and Eri had been assigned; Midoriya, Mirio, and a handful of adults like Ragdoll and Pixie-Bob took it upon themselves to check up on them regularly. Sometimes Eri or Kota would accompany the supervisor to help them feel more comfortable with someone of the same age-range nearby. Nevertheless, the young brother and sister always enjoyed the extra company.
They were not the only room requiring some "supervision", however. Bakugo and Shigaraki were able to go from constantly screaming to silently loathing, thanks in part to Kirishima and Kurogiri keeping both of their respective associates' tempers in check, much to the relief of their neighboring rooms. Eventually they agreed that as long as neither one slept while the other was awake, it was enough to keep them from going for each others' throats.
When they weren't in their rooms, the students were playing the multitude of games in the arcade left for them. Some were attempting to win some prizes, others were in the Danger Room, honing their skills against the unique simulated foes. Even some of the adult pros spent some time in, wanting to stay limber and remain in shape. A handful of curious people would occasionally wander throughout the theater, looking through the rooms and revisiting the museum's many exhibits. The Villains mostly abided their time in the Bar, conversing over the things they had learned previously about the MCU, Kiddo, and how to best use them to their own benefit, even if it was to no avail.
All For One was most curious about the man on the throne teased at the end of The Avengers, feeling a sense of superiority and power that felt very familiar to him. Perhaps he might ask the Midoriya boy if he had any opinion, he had been taking notes of the events after all. But something told him that all of the heroes and heroes-in-training would not approve of this action, especially the boy's mentor: his nemesis and current roommate. Irony truly came in spades inside this theater.
Despite the many games and eye-catching attractions, some still couldn't help but acknowledge the questions itching at the back of their minds: when would their next host arrive?
What would they be like?
And what would they show them?
To those that wondered, one in particular being a certain green-haired boy, they would not have to wonder for much longer.
It was near the end of that first week and Midoriya was in his dorm room, looking over the notebook he had and the notes he had filled it with so far. It was truly incredible that even with all the characters they've seen so far; the heroes, villains, and supporting characters, all the remarkable events they've witnessed and he had catalogued, the notebook didn't even appear near a quarter full. It was like there would be more to fill those blank pages with and he couldn't wait.
"Oh man, I wonder what we'll see once Kiddo returns. I hope he's ok with…whatever he's doing at the moment.", Midoriya said to himself. He was still concerned with that worried look on Kiddo's face before he left, but reassured himself that with what Kiddo is capable of, he'd be able to resolve whatever situation he was currently involved in.
"I'm sure he's got things taken care of, Deku." said Uraraka. She had just stepped out of the bathroom in a new change of clothes and was currently drying her hair with a towel. After some time sitting in awkward silence when they first entered their room, they eventually agreed that they'd take a change of clothes into the bathroom whenever they would shower, getting dressed inside the bathroom instead of the bedroom itself. Even though they both had keys and would alert one another of when they would shower, neither wanted to run the risk of seeing the other undressed. Whether that was down to underwear, a towel, or just completely, the idea brought a red hue to both of their faces.
"Ah! U-U-Uraraka! I…um…kinda forgot you were in here." Midoriya said apologetically. Her presence had slipped his mind as he was lost in thought about Kiddo and his last message to them all.
"Oh it's okay. Really. I was also-", Uraraka began but before she could finish her reply, a rumbling could be felt shaking the entire room and those neighboring it. At that moment, both recalled that message and what this miniature quake meant.
"I guess our new host is here.", said Midoriya.
"I can't wait to see what they're like! Let's hurry and meet up with the others!" , the Gravity girl said with a smile.
"Right!", the green-haired boy replied as both of them bounded out of their room, locking it before heading to Teleportation Machine that led them straight to the Theater Lobby.
The two UA classes, staff, 3 third-years, pro-heroes, villains, and everyone in between all arrived in the Lobby of the Doomsday Theater to find…
…nothing.
There was nobody new in sight.
After some silence and murmurs of confusion, someone spoke up.
"WHAT THE HELL?! WHERE'S THE GUY THAT'S SUPPOSED TO SHOW UP!? THAT BASTARD KIDDO SAID THEY'D SHOW UP EVENTUALLY! WE FELT A DAMN EARTHQUAKE IN SPACE SO SHOULDN'T THAT BE SOME KIND OF SIGN?!", Bakugo barked.
"Um…maybe they're running late?",said Kaminari.
"I'm sure there's a perfectly logical explanation for their absence." said Iida.
"You think something went wrong?", All Might asked towards Aizawa, who he himself was trying to figure out their current predicament.
"Not sure. But stay on guard. We've got no idea who or what they could be.", the Class 1A homeroom teacher replied.
"What's going on? Are we in trouble?",Eri asked as her grip in Mirio's hand tightened ever so slightly.
"No, of course not. Everything is gonna be ok. I'm sure of it.", the positive boy reassured to the young girl. He didn't want her to worry any more than she had to. The last thing he wanted was for her to expect more strife.
"Perhaps they got lost? It's not completely out of the question.", Momo assumed.
Throughout the chatter, one person noticed something. Something that felt out of place.
"Hang on everyone! Do you guys hear that?", Jiro spoke out to the confused crowd.
As everyone quieted down, Shoji also picked up on the strange sound. "I hear it too.", said the multi-armed student.
The sound in question was something akin to a plastic ball rolling on the floor. However, the accompanying squeaking sound suggested that it was really a set of wheels. Small wheels so probably not some kind of vehicle like a motorcycle or a car. Perhaps a bike maybe?
"It's coming from there!",said Spinner. Everyone followed the gecko villain's direction as he pointed out the location.
The sound emanated from one of the nearby hallway entrances, reverberating off the walls of the grand halls until it grew louder.
And closer.
Until the source of the noise became visible to those within eyesight.
The object was box-shaped in appearance, roughly around 2 feet tall, barely a full meter in height. The squeaky rolling sound had come from a set of 4 wheels, each one near one of the 4 corners at the bottom of the box.
"Is that…a luggage case?",asked Mina. She, along with several others were just left dumbfounded on seeing something so trivial being the cause of their bewilderment. It just seemed so out of place, especially when said triviality was moving around all by itself.
"Is it remote-controlled?", asked Melissa. "Oooo, maybe it's a baby that belongs to our new host!", claimed Hatsume, excited on the prospect of a host with their own form of gadgets.
After rolling out of the hallway, it sped around and through the crowd, weaving around just out of reach of anyone nearby. It continued its strange little odyssey until finally coming to a halt in the center of the crowd.
No one moved or said a word, merely entranced by whatever this case was that seemed to supply more questions than it did answers. Was it friendly? Was it dangerous? Then the zipper on the side of the case started to unzip, the case slowly starting to open and reveal what mysteries it hid.
Once the case had unzipped, it jostled a bit, causing everyone to take a wary step back. The villains reflexively went into a battle stance. Some reached for their weapons, even though those had been confiscated since their own arrival. Some of the heroes and students followed suit. They didn't know why, but even though Kiddo told them a new host would eventually appear, whatever the reason their expectations were shaken when this item appeared instead of a host.
The luggage case was unzipped, yet not completely open. Even though its contents and nature were somewhat of an enigma, no one was willing to step forward to look inside, whether it was out of curiosity or slight fear of whatever it would do next.
Suddenly a foot had stuck out from in between of the now open zipper. It was adorned in a men's dress shoe and as it stretched out further from the case, the leg connected to it had dark navy pants. More of the leg came out until it finally stepped onto the ground beneath it. At the same time, an arm adorned in similar formal fashion reached out and held onto the case, mostly likely to support the weight of the newest (and strangest)being that had made quite the odd entrance.
"What…the hell…is that?", Mineta asked.
"I think it's our new host.", Tsu responded, her head tilted to the side in wonder and confusion.
Everyone could only look in awe and perplexity as the figure rose and eventually stepped out from the case completely. Their other hand had been used to hold in place the wide brimmed Dark Navy Fedora on top of their head.
Now everyone could see what their presumably new host was in his entirety. The figure was an adult man, appearing in his late 30s with extremely pale skin like that of a corpse. He was garbed in a Dark Navy 3 piece suit ,complete with black gloves, white dress shirt and crimson red tie. Alongside this was not only the aforementioned Fedora on his head but also a pitch black overcoat draped over his shoulders, which reminded Midoriya and most others of something akin to a cape from most hero and villain costumes they've seen in their lives.
Two details were immediately made apparent to everyone that gave witness to this man. One was his noticeable height. Despite coming out of an average-sized luggage case, the man was surprisingly enormous. It wasn't that he had a bulky, muscular figure similar to that of Endeavor and All Might(in his empowered state of course), it was just that, for the lack of better words, he was really really tall. At a near-staggering 10 feet, he towered over everyone else.
The second thing that became clear to everyone, specifically those that gazed at his face, were his eyes. His expression was difficult to read with his thin straight line for a mouth alone. However, his eyes were hidden in shadow, cast upon by the wide brim of his hat. And yet despite being within ample light, despite the numerous vantage points and multiple points of view those around him had, his eyes remained obscured by darkness of the shadow. No one could even tell where his gaze focused upon, as his head slowly pivoted from side to side, analyzing them all like a Terminator.
"We should say something to him, right?", Sero asked earnestly.
"Maybe?", said Midoriya, still unsure.
"Um…hi.",said Uraraka, giving a weak wave of her hand to the still silent figure.
His head snapped quickly towards her direction, showing he had acknowledged her greeting in some sense. The action startled Uraraka, causing her to jump a bit and a slight "EEP!" to slip out of her mouth.
The man's gaze then came down towards the luggage case that he "arrived" in. With two taps of his foot, the case immediately zipped back closed all on its own and turned on its side, it's wheels off the floor. With a flick of his wrist, a silver ornate ballpoint pen appeared out of his sleeve and twirled gracefully in his fingers before gaining a solid grip on it in his left hand. With his other hand, he then reached into his overcoat, pulled out a clipboard, sat down on the luggage case with one leg resting on the other. He then began scribbling into the clipboard, not offering a single word or sense of clarity to everyone.
"Now he's writing something.", said Makoto.
"Question is, what?", said Naomasa, responding to his sister's obvious question.
Bakugo was not having it. He wanted answers now while this weird guy was right here and did not enjoy being ignored by him. "HEY ASSHOLE! YOU OUR NEW HOST OR WHAT?!", he demanded.
"Kacchan! Maybe we should try not starting things off on the wrong foot with him.", Midoriya suggested. He wasn't sure how much patience this guy had but he didn't want to push.
"Shut up, Deku! You want answers just as much as I do! I know you do!", Bakugo countered. Midoriya couldn't really argue with that since it was sorta true.
"Sir, I apologize for my classmates' outburst. As class president of 1A, I take full responsibility for any disrespect he may show to you.", Iida said while bowing to the man.
"Please refrain from all forms of violent conflict.", the tall man said. He had finally broken his streak of silence since arriving. His voice was strangely monotone, almost robotic in a sense.
As both boys turned towards the figure, they were able to hear him mumbling something in a hushed tone.
"…Himiko Toga…Mirio Togata…Koseu Tsuburaba…Pony Tsunitori…"
Some were wondering why he was saying their names, others such as Principal Nezu and Aizawa were starting to get an idea as to why.
Once the man was finished, he back stood up. After putting his clipboard back into his overcoat, he tapped his foot twice again. His luggage case immediately got back on its wheels and sped away, vanishing out of sight after phasing through a nearby wall. He clicked his pen twice and it soon flew back into his sleeve.
"Everyone is present and accounted for.", the tall man said after straightening his suit jacket. He then turned towards the 1A homeroom teacher.
"Being a member of an academic facility and having a responsibility over multiple youths, surely you understand the importance of taking attendance, making sure everyone is all present and accounted for?",asked the man.
"Uh…of course.", Aizawa replied, still unsteady towards the figure and unsure how else to reply.
"My Superiors have been monitoring your universe along with many others for quite some time now.", the figure explained.
"Recently, they came upon your excursion with the entity referred to as "Kiddo", fascinated and keeping track of your location outside of your universe. When they had learned that he was going to become unavailable for an unknown period of time, my Superiors contacted the entity "Kiddo" and a collaboration was made that would prove to be beneficial between both parties. My Superiors have assigned me to your case. For the time being, I shall be your host. I shall see to it that you are all well accommodated. I also have permission from my Superiors to request assistance from my colleagues and lower divisions. I will ensure your overall safety and introduce you to glimpses to other universes compressed into the form of films so you may be more capable of perceiving them in your limited 3-dimensional field of senses. I hope you will all be greatly enlightened by the time you return to your universe of origin, or at least until Kiddo has returned."
It was definitely a lot to process for everyone there.
"So these Superiors of yours, what are they like?", Naomasa asked. It wasn't that he didn't trust this stranger, he just couldn't help wonder who he works for. What kind of hierarchy is he involved in and the scope of it all?
"I am afraid I am refrained from disclosing any information regarding my Superiors. Even if I had clearance, I have little to no information regarding them at all. Their presence alone would leave your minds utterly destroyed while you slipped slowly into madness at their imperceptible visage, your brains reduced to having the equivalent viscosity of Banana Pudding.", the man replied nonchalantly.
"Well…that's…something.", Monoma replied shakily.
Everyone else was visibly shocked at the idea of working for beings of such power. They couldn't help but wonder what kind of power these seemingly god-like entities wielded and how it measured in comparison towards both Kiddo and the figure before them. Were they just as strong, weaker, or even more powerful? Either way, while mostly everyone wanted to know more,they had to start out with some basics first.
"So what's your name?", Midoriya asked, eager to know who their new host(or Case Worker as he made it sound?) was.
The tall man remained silent for a moment, almost as if reflecting on something that had been on his mind before, until he responded to the One For All User's question.
Placing a single hand on his chest, he replied, "You may refer to me as The Executive."
"The Executive? My, how formal. I presume it is a code name of sorts?", said Principal Nezu.
"That is correct.", The Executive replied.
"Kiddo mentioned having a name aside from his codename: Melaris Dragon…something or other." ,All Might stated, trying to remember what the boy's original name was, "What I mean is, do you also have a true name?"
The Executed looked down with a look that almost appeared melancholic. He then said, "The name you are referring to is most likely that of my birth name from my first life, long before I was hired by my Superiors. Unfortunately I have no memory of my first life, nor do I have any longing to discover this information as it would serve no purpose to me and I hold no sentimentality towards it."
This left most people surprised and even saddened to hear this.
"You mean, you don't even remember your own mommy or daddy?", asked Eri. While she didn't have the best memories of her own parents, she at least knew who they were, that she had some. The Executive merely shook his head at this.
"The first film shall be starting soon: a hero origin of sorts.", The Executive stated, immediately taking everyone's minds off of their peculiar host's past.
As they passed the door to Theater room, Midoriya and his friends noticed the title of the film about to be screening.
Megamind(2010)
"Huh, Megamind? Sounds like a hero with some kind of hyper-intelligence quirk.", Midoriya stated.
"You mean like Principal Nezu? If I recall, his quirk is High Specs.", said Iida.
"Maybe they use their quirk to build things or maybe they have access to some form of psychokenesis liketelepathytelekenisismindreadingor…"
"Will you shut up, Deku!?!", Bakugo yelled, snapping Midoriya out of another one of his muttering spirals.
"WHA-oh uh sorry guys.", said Midoriya as everyone headed to their seats, eager to see this new film.
