Aleister was frowning as he looked over the three Merchants he had under hypnosis, this really wasn't working as well as he'd hoped. He had found no ways to make his hypnosis better, no matter what he had attempted.
He'd considering trying to use the two potential parahumans he'd found among the captured Merchants to make an artificial Trigger event, but he... Had no idea how the hell Trigger events worked. How the hell was he meant to trigger something he had no idea how it happened.
"Return to feeding the rest of the Merchants, then lock yourselves in your cells". He commanded the hypnotized Merchants, why bother feeding the Merchants himself when he had plenty of hypnotized minions to do it himself.
Spell failed!
Sadly, Hypnosis is a rather hard spell to improve so ya got a fail here.
"Big broootheeer! Did ya hear?". Natallie asked with a grin as Aleister finished putting away the washing up, having offered to do the chore for his father because of his injured leg. "Glory Girl split up with her boyfriend again, and this time I'm confident its permanent!".
"I see... Just like the last five times?". He rolled his eyes, he'd never been fond of high school gossip and his sisters had mentioned Glory Girl's relationships a bit to many times (For all they disliked her, his sisters loved gossiping about the girl).
"Yea! But their last argument felt really final, they were arguing... Something about risks? And then walked away from each other. I think Victoria finally realized dating a civilian is risky". Natallie replied, ah yes that key detail... Truly, Aleister wondered how the hell her parents let Glory Girl get away with all this.
"Its about time, you'd think she'd realize she's putting him in unnecessary danger". The two walked down the halls, Finn was asleep on the sofa so neither of them entered the living room (He'd been resting a lot while his leg recovered, but Aleister knew once he was fully recovered Finn would be running about and making sure the bakery was in tip-top shape). "Speaking of Capes, have you heard what happened to the Merchants?".
"You mean somebody kidnapping Squealer and Mush?! Theres been dozens of rumors at school, people think its a new vigilante!". She pulled out her phone, showing him some sort of group chat filled with people discussing the rumored vigilante. "Mom has been a lot more unstressed now, with the Merchants in this mess they can't fulfill they're threat right?".
"Of course, and even if they did try, I have the feeling our mysterious vigilante will be dealing with what remains of the Merchants soon enough". Aleister smiled darkly, Natallie frowned but just assumed he was pleased the ones who'd threatened their mother were suffering, her brother could be vengeful sometimes.
"How? Just how the hell!?". Aleister growled as he looked over Squealer's slumbering body, frustrating seeping into his mind. Structural Analysis after Structural Analysis had been performed, and he had discovered nothing new!
He knew where the Corona Pollentia was, he knew EXACTLY how it was shaped, yet how it worked, he had no idea! It almost felt like something was stopping him from seeing the full truth. He performed another analysis, he knew Squealer's body down to the slightest detail now, and at least had a better idea how she was alive.
Her body was creating just the right amount of chemicals to keep her alive, but not to remove the drugs from her system, it was subtle, so subtle he had barely noticed it. Was it some minor power nobody realized she'd had? Or was... It something more? Something keeping her alive for some reason?
Aleister sighed, he needed more information, but his current abilities could only reveal so much. Opening up Squealer's skull to look into her brain had crossed his mind, but was there a point when he already knew everything he could from using Structural Analysis? Maybe he just needed to improve his abilities more to understand parahumans.
Target Merchant Drug Labs and target Skidmark merged together, as there is only one drug lab left and Skidmark would be there.
Faust felt excitement burst in his chest, finally, he was at the end. The visor of his suit acting as a telescope to watch the final warehouse, final drug lab, where no doubt Skidmark waited. He'd considered fighting his way in, but Skidmark's ability was dangerous, so he'd set up a different trap.
His hand clenched the switch in his hands, a cruel grin on his face as he flicked the switch.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOM!
Multiple explosions around the warehouse went off, the chemicals within reacting and combusting. He had created them earlier and planted them, now his work was paying off.
He quickly got closer to the now burning warehouse, looking around the various bodies that managed to survive. He placed his hand on a few and used Flash Air to transport them to his base, it was draining on his mana but he currently had plenty to spare.
"Cugh! Cough... Guh!". A coughing voice spoke and Faust's grin somehow spread even further, he had expected Skidmark to survive, but seeing him in his current state. Trapped under some rubble and coughing up blood, it filled him with a primal satisfcation.
"Hello Skidmark, or do you prefer Adam?". Finding Skidmark's true identity was easy, none of the Merchants really had secret identities with how they ran around half naked half the time. Faust knelt down, taking joy in the fear in the gang leaders eyes.
"Cugh! Who the... Fuck are... You-". Skidmark was cut off as Faust kicked him, freeing him from the rubble but causing him to slam into a wall, burning flakes of wood falling down and scorching the drug addict, causing him to scream in agony.
"You and your gang have been parasites upon this city for to long, and I have come to end you, just as I have the rest of your pathetic group". Faust taunted, electricity sparking off his glove as he zapped the Merchant. Was he taking a bit to much joy in this? Yes, but sadism could be useful if used in the right circumstances.
"B-bastard, you took Squealer and Mush!? I'll rip your fucking dick off you fagg-". Skidmark was cut off as Faust shoved his hand into the gang leaders face, he had enough of this fool's words.
"Farewell Skidmark, know you will not be remembered". Electricity sparked from the glove, the agonized screams of Skidmark echoing into the sky as his body was hit with a lethal amount of electricity, slumping down, dead. With a quick Flash Air, his body was transported to his murderer's basement, where Aleister knew some of his hypnotized minions would put him into the area he'd prepared to keep the body fresh.
It wasn't as satisfying as Faust had hoped, but it was satisfying. He had completed his missions and... Huh? He was feeling, tired... So tired..
Aleister stumbled back, black blinding his vision as a feminine giggle echoed around him.
"I think its time we finally met face to face, my champion".

First time writing something this lewd, so if its off slightly sorry. Skip if you want to avoid lewd.
Aleister awoke with pleasure, something was... Stroking his dick? What? He quickly forced himself up, the hand that was on his pants moving away as he found himself face to face with a vision of pure beauty.
...Acrueid Brunestud? No, something within him instinctively understood this was an entity with no true form and this was simply a mere avatar.
"Your understanding of the situation is correct, my champion...". She spoke gently, there was something ethereal about her voice, inhumane yet beautiful. Her hand returned to his... Pants? He was in his casual clothes, what?
But he quickly found himself distracted when his pants were pulled down, revealing his erect dick. The entity licked her lips, staring at it hungrily. Aleister wanted to let her work, but he forced down his lust, he needed to focus!
"Who are you? And why are you calling me your champion!". He demanded as he pulled his clothes back up, the entity smiled as she leaned against him, her breasts against his chest and their faces inches apart.
"I call you my champion because thats what you are, as for what I am...". She leaned closer, her hot breath tingling against his skin. "Do you not recognize the one who gave you your powers?".
"Your... The entity that gave me my abilities?". Aleister asked, when the entity appeared before him it had been shapeless its voice, shifting constantly. "Why are you here then? What do you want?".
"Do you not wonder why I gave you those abilities, my champion?". She licked her lips and laid a kiss on his neck, a hunger in her eyes. "We share a symbiotic relationship, worship, fear and respect... All that comes to you from others, leads to power for me".
He couldn't resist as his lips met hers, hunger filling him as he explored her mouth. She was soft and felt better then any woman he'd been with before, but eventually they separated with him panting with lust.
"And of course, lust as well". Her smile was as beautiful as it was seductive. "I have been called many names over the eons, She Who Tempts, The Corrupter, an Incarnation of Lust... But for our case, you may call me Gaia. A fitting name for our situation, don't you think?".
"Haaah... C-certainly fitting names". Aleister fully knew if this entity, Gaia wanted to, she could easily wrap him around her fingers. He'd always been a lustful person and an entity who had eons of experiencing corrupting and tempting? He'd be putty in her hands. "What do you want?".
"If we are to share a connection a partnership, acceptance on both ends is needed... I grant you power, and you will act in ways that fill my needs. If you agree, well...". Gaia placed her hands on his pants and slowly began to pull down his pants, Aleister knew this was his last chance. If he went through this, he'd bind himself to this entity forever.
Conquests, satisfying his lust and desires, and all he needed to do was agree to work with this entity...
It wasn't even a question.
"Then let us bind ourselves together, my champion". Gaia smiled as she wrapped her hands around his cock, rubbing up and down. She started licking along the tip gently, causing him to let out a groan of pleasure. "Not the largest rod, but certainly on the more impressive end...".
Her wet, warm mouth wrapped around his dick and Aleister had to push down the urge to cum here and there. It felt like his dick had entered Heaven, pre-cum forming and eagerly sucked into Gaia's greedy throat. Her hands began to fondle his balls, messaging them and making the urge to cum irresistible.
"C-cumming!". He grabbed Gaia's head and shoved her as far onto his dick as she could go, shooting cum down her throat. She sucked like a vacuum, pulling every inch of cum out of his dick. Falling onto his ass, Aleister could only stare as Gaia made a show of swallowing his cum.
"Guh!". His left hand grabbed onto his right hand as it burned, Aleister felt as something was burned onto his hand. Removing his left hand, he saw three purple stripes across his hands, were these...?
"Command Seals, or at least something similar". Gaia smiled as she leaned against him, both of them laying across... He only just realized now he was in his bedroom, how the hell hadn't he noticed that before? "Completing certain events, or perhaps in more game-like terms, missions, allows me to bless you".
"And... What is this blessing?". He looked over the seals, he could feel large amounts of magical energy in them, but he doubted they were for controlling Servants.
"Besides working as regular Command Seals for your future Servant". She grinned when his eyes widened. "They can also be used to... Modify your Servants if they prove particularly unwilling, add onto that a lost seal will be restored after three days".
"Modify?". He asked, the idea of having a Servant of his own was appealing enough, he knew how attractive they could be. "What do you mean modify?".
"Their minds, their body, all of it can be edited by those Command Seals. You could reduce them into a drooling slut, or make a disobedient brat your most loyal follower...". Gaia explained, the way she was leaning into him as they laid in his bed, it almost felt like they were lovers. "Of course, I would only recommend such a thing if your Servants prove an issue. Natural loyalty will provide me a lovely snack".
"I... I see...". That was a lot of power, Aleister knew at some point he'd absolutely use the seals to satisfy his own desires. But if natural loyalty and love would make Gaia happy, well he'd prefer the extremely powerful entity happy then unhappy. "And the Servant you spoke of...?".
"Despite my name I have no connection to Fate's Alaya and Gaia, I can only influence the class of Servant you shall summon... But first, we have another matter to speak of...". Gaia created a... Holographic screen, really leaning into the Gamer angle huh? "You completed your mission at a speed I had not expected, while your purposes were not to please me but protect your family, I do reward overachievers...".
Aleister looked over the list, his mind filled with knowledge. His first encounter with Gaia was still messy in his head, but he remembered he had been offered multiple abilities for his 'starter package', choosing the powers of a Magus and mad scientist. But this list contained the rest of the powers he'd denied, if in weaker forms.
"A more combat related power would greatly increase your might, my champion... Choose whatever you desire".
Aleister looked over the abilities Gaia offered carefully, even if in weaker forms each of these abilities could be useful.
] Poke-Morph (Pokemon).
- Gain the ability to transform into three randomized first stage starter Pokemon, but through training you can unlock more Pokemon forms and evolve them. This includes Legendary and Mythical's.
It will be very hard to evolve Pokemon and get new ones.
] Shinobi (Naruto).
- Gain access to Chakra, with two randomized Chakra Natures. Bloodlines are not accessible at the start, but can be created later with experimentation.
Will require Chakra control training and its a small amount of Chakra at first.
] Haki (One Piece).
- Gain access to the basics of Observation Haki, with the potential to improve it and acquire the other two Haki's.
It will be very basic Observation Haki, like you'll only have 5% chance to be forewarned of attacks.
What class shall Aleister choose? I've already chosen the Servant that will be summoned for each Class, but I won't reveal who.
] Saber.
] Lancer.
] Archer.
] Assassin.
] Caster.
] Rider.
] Berserker.
So fully honest, I had not expected you guys to destroy the Merchants completely in such a short amount of time, but a mix of lucky spins and you guys being absolutely focused have gotten you this great reward!... It's also going to make the PRT come down hard, especially with that very explosive execution of Skidmark.
Character sheet is also being updated with the info on the New Command Seals and all the stuff Aleister now has as I've realized its not been updated in a while. I do suggest talking a bit before you decide what Servant and ability you want Aleister to
