Chapter 13
Galadriel is glaring at the report before her, wondering what just happened a few hours ago. From what Demiurge has told her, the operation to capture both top heroes, Mirko and Edgeshot have been a success. She didn't know exactly what does that mean.
"Mm, using both of them as a bait for our next move is a good idea. A rescue mission in which an unknown threat arises from the shadows of this world. I understand that easy enough. We will bring the other heroes to rescue the colleagues, and then we can show ourselves. Well, not us, but our villain's counterpart. Now, who can be the main villain of this new organization?" Galadriel thought.
"Albedo," Galadriel said, and with a smile, the gorgeous succubus responded.
"Yes, my dear?" She asked.
"What do you think about Demiurge plans?" Galadriel asked.
"I believe that is a good plan, my lady. Creating a villain organization that horrifies heroes and villains equally is a marvelous idea. We can be ourselves, and show this world what a monster is," Albedo said with a vicious smile, and Galadriel nodded nervously. She will silently pray for the poor heroes or villains that cross them.
"I-I am glad to hear that, Albedo," Galadriel said.
"We will discuss the details later, but I wanted to know… What is this about, a gift?" Galadriel asked, reading the report.
"Demiurge report also said that Shalltear seems to have misunderstood his orders," Galadriel said.
"I believe that she ended up cutting both legs and arms from this… Hero girl," Galadriel said with scorn.
"Was that necessary?" Galadriel asked, delighted to hear that, but concerned about it at the same time. She didn't care for them, but a part of her didn't enjoy torturing for the sake of torturing. If she is going to torture or kill someone, it must be for something.
It's the never-ending battle of her two sides, the Demon inside her enjoying the torture and death of anyone she considers below her. And the small humanity left. That fight to keep her moral in check. Something that as time goes by, is slowly fading away.
Now, she is delighted to hear that. Galadriel's sadistic side is showing up. But shake her head, trying to push it away.
"Perhaps, but that flat-chested mosquito. Got overexcited and ended up killing the rest. Although they were unnecessary for our plans. We would have liked to have more specimens for our experiments. Then, there is the fact that she ended up torturing and harming them, beyond what Demiurge told her to. Nothing we couldn't heal, but still," Albedo said with an exasperated tone.
"Well, as long as we can use them. We can brainwash them, or erase their memories. But Demiurge is trying other methods," Galadriel said, reading the report one more time.
"And Shalltear is… Training the bunny girl?" The last statement confuses Galadriel, as she didn't understand what is Shalltear trying to do with the girl. Albedo looks annoyed but said nothing. A part of the succubus didn't like sharing, but hearing what Lupusregina said before. In one of their private meetings. She now understands that her lady deserves only the best. Perhaps that bunny can be useful for other things too. But Albedo didn't notices, that Galadriel is beyond lost, as she understood nothing. So Galadriel ignored this bunny thing for now.
"Don't worry about it, my lady. I will see the results, and see if we can use her for ourselves," Albedo said, almost sneering.
"Ah… Alright, as long this training doesn't interrupt our plans, I will trust your judgment," Galadriel said with a sigh.
"I will do my best, my lady," Albedo replied with a smile.
"But why call it a gift?" Galadriel thought, but she ignored it.
"Perhaps is nothing. It's getting dark. I will need to take my dinner and take a good nap. Yeah, I need that. These people are crazy," Galadriel thought, ignoring the fact the right now Shalltear is taking her time taming the wild bunny. Enjoying every minute.
The news of the attack and the supposed death of two top heroes made national news. That someone could take on two of them, and a small group of new heroes is something that only a strong villain could do. And that worries the pro-heroes. Especially those who were close to them.
"Reports keep coming, as the bodies of the dead heroes are returning to their loved ones. The investigation has not ended, but records said that, both Rumi Usagiyama, known as Mirko. And Shiya Kamihara, know as Edgeshot both numbers six and five respectably, are still missing. Their status is still unknown, but pro heroes around the country are on the move, as so the police," everyone is watching the news, and many hear the outcry from the fans of both top heroes across the nation and even the world. No one knows what is happening but is not good.
Everyone is looking with hope in their eyes as they saw All Might talk to the public. His shining smile, and his confidence, brought faith that they will rescue them.
"Worry do not! We are going to do our best to locate our colleagues and bring them back home!" All Might promise.
That is what he said to the reporter, to bring some peace to the masses. They needed it to hear it, but among the top heroes, the situation is different.
"Is this real?" Mt. Lady said, holding the picture in her hands. Her expression is full of disgust and sorrow.
"Yes, those are the photos of… The heroes killed that night. It's like something cut them in pieces," the commissioner-general of the police force said.
"Cut them to pieces? They destroyed their bodies!" Mt. Lady said.
"Whoever did this… Is strong enough to take both Mirko and Edgeshot head-on," Best Jeanist said, with a bitter voice.
"Maybe it was an enormous group of villains?" Replied Kamui Woods.
"Even if that is true, don't you think is weird that the scene is… Clean?" Hawks said.
"What do you mean?" Best Jeanist asked.
"Look around the photos, there is not a trace of a battle. Only that strange circle," Hawks said.
"It's true, Mirko is one of my best friends, and I know what she is capable of, and I believe you know that too Best Jeanist. Edgeshot is number 5 for a reason," Ryuku said. She didn't like the fact that she can't do anything to save her friend. Ryuku knows that she is alive still. She believes it.
"True…" Best Jeanist said, thinking about his friend Edgeshot. There was no way that they could take both of them without a fight.
"Did you find anything flying over there Hawks?" The commissioner asked.
"Nothing, nothing at all. Like they just vanish," Hawks said with an irritated tone.
"The villain league had the same ability, could it be them?" Ryuku asked.
"I don't believe it. A group of students could hold them off easily. We are talking about a group of pro heroes and two top heroes. Do you think they would have the strength to fight them off?" Best Jeanist said.
"Perhaps they have a new villain with some kind of special Quirk or something like that," Kamui Woods said.
"Is a possibility, but… Maybe there is a new player around," the commissioner said with a sigh.
"I don't understand this rescue call. It makes little sense," Hawks said.
"Why call for Edgeshot and Mirko specifically, why them? And then, who did the request?" Hawks said, looking suspiciously at the commissioner. So far, Hawks mistrust that man. He always had, but now after this event. His gust is telling him that something is off.
"We have tried to find any clue about the supposed call, but nothing. It's like the dispatcher disappeared. We are monitoring the dispatch center and try to find any infiltration. But it will take time," the commissioner said with a frustrated tone.
"If they can infiltrate the dispatch center, then… They can infiltrate other sections of the first responders, and even the government," Hawks said.
"That's farfetched Hawks," Kamui Woods replied.
"Is it? We don't know who these people are… Or where they come from, but we have lost two top heroes in one night. We have no clue where they are. Something is going on… I know it is," Hawks said.
"Still, we need to remember the internship is going to happen too. We need to keep things smooth," the commissioner said.
"I don't think is a good idea," Ryuku whispered.
"We need to keep going on with life! We can't allow ourselves to look weak or scared. We need to prove these villains they have won nothing," the commissioner said.
They nodded and grumble, Hawks stare at the photo. He didn't like this feeling of anxiousness; he didn't know what it's going on. This event is out of the blue. There must be a reason for this. Hawks thought.
"Now, we have Endeavor, Yoroi Musha, and Gang Orca researching the area for the last time. After that, we are going to investigate any clue we have. It's going to take a while for us to get anything, but we any luck we will find them," the commissioner said.
"And what about this Hero Killer? Stain or whatever his name is? We can't allow him to go around attacking heroes too!" Mt Lady said.
"He is the only one running amok in the city. There is already a group hunting him down," the poor commissioner exhales. This day has proven to be a long one.
"I will keep an eye out for him," Hawks said.
"The police department will appreciate the help," the police chief said.
"We have to move to the next topic," the talk went on for another hour. The heroes there ignored the strange shadows observing the meeting.
Galadriel is standing outside of an enormous building, wondering if this is a good idea. She understood the reason behind it. A way to increase her hero persona around the rest of the other heroes in the country. And is understandable, for a young hero to meet some of her idols. Not that she has an idol to look after. But they did not need to know something like that.
"Besides, from what I know, this Endeavor wanted to meet me, and my company. So, I wanted to see what does he want. My enterprise has become an economic giant. But I need to be careful, and expand slowly," Galadriel thought.
While Galadriel is standing there and eating her fifth Crepe of strawberry. A familiar voice made her turn back, a half-burned face glare at her.
"Galadriel… What are you doing here?" Todoroki asked. He didn't like the fact she is here, knowing his father. Endeavor is planning something, and Todoroki didn't like it one bit. The half-burned face kid knows that, while she is powerful and smart, in an academic sense. The white-haired girl lacks common sense.
"Mm, hello Todoroki. How are you doing today?" Galadriel replied, still enjoying her Crepe. Todoroki only stares at her with an unfazed look on his face. She is cute when she eats. Like a bunny with a lot of food in her mouth. Todoroki thought for a moment.
Todoroki let a small cough, not wanting to think of her being cute. Not like he didn't admit that she is one of the beautiful girls he has ever seen. But is more of wanting to avoid her. Todoroki didn't want to fraternize with his rival. And another part of him believes if he gets closer to her. His father will notice, and problems will ensue.
"What are you doing here?" Todoroki asked one more time.
"I came here to do the internship thing. And because my family wanted to get to know and explore more agencies in Japan. So, here I am," Galadriel said.
"Your family… I see," Todoroki said, walking away from here.
Galadriel stares at the weird kid and follows him. The people of the building glared at them, mumbling things about the possibility of them being together, about them getting more close with each other. To make things easier for them, when the day comes. Galadriel didn't understand what they are talking about but play along.
"What's with these people? Do they don't understand how creepy it is to stare at two kids?!" Galadriel thought.
They reach an elevator and silently step inside of it. They say no word to each other, not a single conversation between them. Galadriel didn't like the silence, it's uncomfortable. And besides, she needs to know more about Endeavor and his agency. So taking her time to think about a question. She spoke to Todoroki, holding a gentle smile. Hoping he will answer.
"So… Todoroki, do you have a family? A brother or sister?" Galadriel asked, she is doing her best to keep the conversation simple for now. But the look of Todoroki didn't make it easier for her.
"Yes," he only replied.
Another few seconds of silence in which Galadriel only stared at him, hoping to hear more. But nothing.
"Ah…" Galadriel said.
"And you? Do you have any family to speak of?" Todoroki asked without looking at her.
"I have a family too. They are weird," Galadriel said.
Galadriel thought about Nazarick, and no matter how much she loves them. For normal people, they are weird. She is weird.
"Good," Todoroki said.
"Yeah," Galadriel replied.
They didn't say more, and Galadriel could only groan at the silence inside of the elevator. Hopefully, things will get better once she greets his father.
Galadriel is standing before the number two hero, and he surprises her. The fire surrounding his outfit is strange but looks cool in Galadriel's humble opinion. She looks at Todoroki and saw a look of anger and resentment. A very familiar look, if she can say for herself.
"Shoto, so you finally came to fulfill your destiny. And it seems miss Nazarick has taken my offer too. Good, welcome to my agency," Endeavor said, with a grin on his face.
"Thank you for the offer, mr. Endeavor. My family told me to broaden my horizons, and to meet the other agencies from Japan. This is one of the biggest one, and being the number two hero creates an enormous opportunity for our families, that's why I came here. Besides, Todoroki is here too," Galadriel without paying attention to what they could take her words for. She just smiled and ignored the face of Todoroki. Endeavor eyes shine after hearing that. But Todoroki didn't seem too thrilled about it. He said nothing and glared at the ground.
"I'm glad to hear that. But before we start, I need to thank you, miss Nazarick. For pushing my son to reach his true potential," Endeavor said.
"Push him to his true potential?" Replied Galadriel. Confuse about what the fire-man is saying.
"He needs a challenge, an alternative way to reach a new high to be number one. He has to be the strongest hero in the world, and with you at his side. I am sure he can achieve it," Endeavor said.
"Ah… I see," Galadriel said with a dumbfounded tone.
"But now, I will show you both what a hero can do! Change to both of your heros clothes, and come with me," Endeavor said, leaving no room for talking.
Galadriel stood there, looking confused, and with one look at Todoroki, she knew something is going on. But being the smart person she is. Galadriel let it go. Thinking something different from what the fire hero meant.
"Does he want me to be a partner to his son? Like helping him? Well, he has a strong Quirk, and I can shape him, like Midoriya into something else, but… What do I feel like there is something big I am missing?" Galadriel thought.
"Galadriel whatever you are thinking… Is not that," Todoroki said, leaving her alone.
"Kids these days are rude," Galadriel mutters.
The night of the city and the sound of the people walking around without paying attention to their surroundings. Brings comfort to the villains' hiding. And it makes for an especial place to hide in the open. From within a strange-looking bar, the sound of an argument is taking place.
"Hahahaha! You're too strong! Dammit! Sent him back, Blackmist!" Tomura said while Stain the hero-killer pin him on the ground.
"I can't move… This must be his Quirk," Kurogiri, known as Blackmist said.
"The word hero has lost all meaning! This society is overrun by fakes! And even criminals who are just aimlessly scattering around their power! They become a target to purge too!" Stain said.
"Just wait for a second… This palm you can't take," Tomura said, pushing the blade of Stain away. Destroying it and pushing him back.
"You're awfully talkative… A conviction? A creed? I ain't got anything so dramatic, though if they forced me to say anything. I will answer with… I want to crush society. To those who stand there, all high and mighty! I want to crush them!" Tomura said, attacking the hero-killer.
The hero-killer only glared at the wounded villain in front of him. Tomura seems irritated by the fact he has a wound and there is not a healer in their group. Yet.
"You are dirt in society. And I will dispose of you," Stain said.
"It seems our goals lie at opposites ends," Tomura said, and with a smile, he is preparing to attack.
But before either of them continue, a knock on their door stops them. Tomura tilted his head, confused by the sudden interruption. Stain licks his lip, and wonder who can it be.
"Kurogiri," said Tomura.
"I do not know who can it be," the Blackmist said.
"Oi, hello! ~ League of villains?" A cheerful voice resonated in the room.
Tomura only glared at the door, and with one push of a bottom. Kurogiri opens the door. The three men saw a buxom girl with tone dark skin. Wearing a black leather outfit. She looks like she rides a motorcycle, but there is no such thing outside. And she covers a part of her face with a small scarf.
Her long reddish hair and golden eyes did not let the fact that her hidden smile. And everything around her, scream danger. And Tomura crazy as he may be. He is no fool and notices the sadistic nature of her eye.
"Who are you?" He asked.
"Oh, yeah, my name is Regina, and I am looking to join you! ~," Regina said.
"Join us?" Tomura asked.
"Yep! ~ I figure out that you need a lot of help so here I am!" The redhead girl said.
"Another fool to kill," Stain said, and without wasting more time. He throws himself at the girl, hoping for a clean kill. Tomura did not stop him. In fact, he seems curious about the girl. Wondering if she is useful at all.
The girl did not lose her smile, and in a few seconds, she surprises both Tomura and Kurogiri as she slams Stain to the wall by grabbing him by the neck. She is strong. Tomura thought.
"Wow, you are the hero-killer! I'm a big fan, but you must not attack a girl you have just met! That's not polite at all," Regina said.
Stain is struggling to move, and when he attacks with his free arm holding his other knife. He notices that his blade did not harm her one bit. Like they make her skin out of steel or something. A defensive Quirk? No wonder she is strong! Stain thought.
"Now let's start again, my name is Regina, and I am here to join you!" She said with a cheerful smile.
"Oh, tell me then… Regina, why did you want to join us?" Tomura asked, approaching the red hair woman.
"Mm, I guess because it sounds like fun!" Regina said, not looking intimidated at all by him.
"Fun? You think this is fun?" Tomura asked, glaring at her intensely.
For a moment, Regina smiled. And the next moment, her posture changed. Looking at Tomura with the same intense glare, she grinned again. This time, however, it is different.
"Yes, fun! I don't have a goal! I just want to eliminate the hope of people! To watch them burn, to see how they cry when you take their idols away! To rejoice in their suffering and kill everything!" Regina said, and for a moment Tomura believes that he has found someone as crazy as him. She looks mad, the intense desire to justify torture and death, brought a smile to Tomura face. Everything about her, scream damage. And he likes that.
For Tomura, this is a good sign. He laughs loudly and wildly.
"Besides, I think you will be glad to have me around," Regina said and muttering a few strange words. A green light surrounded Tomura, and with little else. The wound is no more.
It impresses Tomura to have someone with a strange Quirk like this girl. Having a healing Quirk user, is a good thing for them. He smiled at her.
"Welcome," Tomura only said, holding a sadistic smile.
Regina returns the smile with a grin of her own. She has completed the first task of her mission. And now the fun began.
