The year is 2022
The time is 12:16 P.M.
A 14-year-old boy was sitting on a crate in a military plane that had just flown into Iran, a new conflict had arisen in the Middle East with the continuation of the Iran and Iraq war. Iran had NATO backing while Iraq had Russia and China backing. The 14-year-old sighed and put on his mask, it was like a scarf and covered his entire face except for his eyes. He then put on what looked like a ski mask that he was given to block the sand from his eyes, and a Kevlar helmet, he was heading to war.
The boy's name was Kai Hisoka and he was the result of an experiment by the Hero Public Safety Commission.
16 years ago an ambitious politician named Akagi Hisoka had caught wind of the Commission trying to create a human that they could use in the shadows, somebody that could fulfill their wishes and nobody could know. Akagi struck a deal with the Commission that he could run the program but he would get no interference from anybody outside the project. The Acting President at the time agreed and signed a contract with Akagi but in time the Acting President filled his two-year term and was voted out. In the coming years, there was a constant cycle of presidents, and slowly the program called 'Moonlight' was buried and forgotten about as it showed no results. Akagi knew that documents could go missing or things could be forgotten during the few-week transitional phase when a new president took over. Akagi needed a subject to turn into the weapon that he wanted, so he decided to have a child to be the subject, it was easier that way as he could control everything and there would be no record of the child ever existing. Akagi's family had a superhuman strength quirk in their bloodline, so Akagi searched for a quirk to pair with superhuman strength the women needed to be pretty, smart, athletic, and not connected to anybody important. The politician found a hospital record of a 24-year-old woman with some type of shooting quirk, it seemed her quirk made projectiles hit their target wherever they wanted and with deadly accuracy. The woman was beautiful and decently smart but intelligence can be honed. Akagi at the age of 56 the woman who was named Mae Ryo became Mae Hisoka. It was a quirk marriage with no record, Kai didn't know anything else about his mom as his father never told him. He knew that his mother was killed shortly after he was born. Kai wasn't raised with love or care, he was raised with one goal in mind: winning. He was taught to manipulate, kill, hide, and survive no matter the cost, he had model looks, a perfect human. But at the cost of little to no social skills. He could read a human's emotions to a pinpoint accuracy but couldn't keep a conversation going for more than five minutes.
Kai looked out of the window with an apathetic look. This was his first time out of the program and it seemed his suspicions were right.
(Read everything Kai says in a monotone and melancholy voice.)
'Looks like Professor Hisoka is going against a foe that even he couldn't fight, everyone has their limit.'
Kai had heard of the name All For One and how he was tracking Professor Hisoka trying to kill him because he wronged the man somehow. Professor Hisoka had been acting more drastically as the years went by, which is why Kai was in Iran. Professor Hisoka was running out of money and he made a deal with the Iranians that they would get a trained soldier in turn for a couple million dollars. Oil money was something different. That is why this war is being fought, oil. Everyone needs it and only certain places have it, and the Middle East is a hotspot for oil. Iraq wanted to have a port to the Persian Gulf by annexing Kuwait. But at the same time, it ran deeper than that; this was also a religious war. Shia Muslims in Iraq and Sunni Muslims have had a hatred for each other since 1971. But nobody outside of Iran or Iraq cared about that. All they cared about was who would get the best oil deals after the war.
'The outside world isn't that special. All I see is sand. But I guess it's better than that room.'
Kai had lived in a huge room with black and white walls, the walls would switch colors depending on the day, or that's what Kai thought he never got an explanation as to why the walls changed.
"We will arrive in thirty minutes." A voice over the intercom spoke.
War was different here than what you're used to. In the early 1900's quirk manifestation started to occur in humans, as such military technology wasn't as developed as humans focused on quirks. There are no nuclear weapons. World War 1 and World War 2 still occurred.
Kai checked his equipment, he was supplied with two sniper rifles, the MacMillian Tac-50 for stealth operations and the Barret M82A1, both American-made. An Howa Type 20 that he would use when he was not sniping, which was Japanese-made at least. It seemed that the rest would be Iranian or whatever they had in their stockpile.
'Professor Hisoka has gotten more deranged and paranoid as he ages. He turned 72 a few months ago. He must realize that his time is running out. Or that someone is going to cut his time short. Is One For All that terrifying? Who even is One For All?'
Kai felt the plane start to descend. He looked out the window and saw a city in the desert.
'I think this city's name is Ahvaz. The closest one to the border of Iraq'
Quirk use in war was banned and if you were caught punishment would be dished out accordingly. A treaty was signed by every country in the world that if a country is caught using Quirks in war the rest of the world will form a joint coalition and capitulate that country. It was a very interesting system.
'I wonder why they can't use that system to stop any war from happening.'
Kai dissembled his rifles and placed them into what was called a 'Tactical Bookbag.'
The plane landed on a runway with no surrounding buildings.
"I only got 30 seconds before I leave." The pilot spoke through the intercom.
Kai hurried and gathered all of his belongings and walked out of the plane's side door. The plane started its engine and flew away, Kai watched his only way out of here leave.
"Welcome!" A voice behind Kai said.
It was a female.
Kai nodded his head while throwing his backpack on.
"I will take you to Father." The woman said.
'Father huh.'
The two started to walk through the desert.
"What is your name?" She asked.
"Hisoka Kai."
"Hannaneh Afshani"
The two walked in silence for a while.
"How is Japan?" Hannaneh asked.
"I don't know. This is my first time outside."
"What do you mean?" Hannaneh asked, confused.
"This is the first time I've been outside."
"So you have been indoors your whole life?" Hannaneh asked.
"Yes."
Silence took over.
'She's thinking that what kind of soldier hasn't seen the outside'
Kai walked up a desert hill and saw the city first he noticed a lot of bridges.
"What do you think? I don't know what you've heard but Ahvaz is one of the most technologically advanced and safest cities in the world." Hannaneh said.
'Lies.'
"I know the location of each city in Iran, I don't know what goes on in each city."
"Well that's okay," Hannaneh said.
Kai nodded.
The two walked along the highway until they got into the city. Kai had done research about each city Ahvaz had a crime rate of 76.72/100 which was considered high according to the cost of living survey, and a safety index of 31.16.
The two walked through the city which was quiet.
Kai and Hannaneh walked to a building that had some kind of design that was teal and a golden color. The door had bars around it.
Kai was about to walk in when he heard very distant explosions.
'Is the war that close?
Kai stepped into the building.
"Father is in the room up the stairs to the right," Hannaneh said.
"Hm," Kai muttered with a nod.
Kai did as instructed, he opened the door and an average-height man was sitting down looking out the window.
"Hisoka Kai?" The man asked.
"Yes, Supreme Leader,"
"Ah good you know titles. My name is Amir Reza Afshani."
The Supreme Leader opened a desk, took out a folder, and started to read it out loud.
"Hisoka Kai. Age 14. Quirk: Deadshot. Code name: Shinigami."
'Shinigami? Really Professor?'
"Specialties: deadly aim, hand-to-hand combat, genius, stealth, superhuman strength, willpower, discipline."
Kai listened.
"The reason we hired you is because of your quirk. As you know quirk use in war is banned, but if your quirk isn't noticeable you can use it. Your's makes you the greatest sharpshooter probably ever, and that's not even talking about your superhuman strength." Amir said.
'How do you judge if somebody has superhuman strength?'
"This war is at a stalemate with trenches from the Turkish border to the Persian Gulf. You will be assigned to the Saberin Battalion."
'Special Forces. Which means I'll be the first to lead the charge into an enemy trench'
"There is no time to waste. This war has been going on for about three weeks and there are already 135,000 dead."
'That's no small number'
"There is a truck outside for you. It will take you to the Saberin units who are about to be stationed."
Kai walked out and there wasn't anything to say, when he was in the lobby he didn't see Hannaneh anywhere. Through the glass windows, he could see a military truck with a cameo livery. Kai hopped into the back, and the truck took off.
'My first time being outside and I end up going to war. I'm free from that place and at the same time, I'm not. Give up my freedom to have my freedom?'
Kai sighed.
This is a My Hero fanfiction even if it doesn't seem like it.
