Pokémon Trainer Hero
Chapter 57: The Devil and the Demon
It was nighttime at the League of Villains headquarters and the place was empty apart from Tomura at the bar and Kurogiri behind the bar cleaning out a glass. The sign outside had been switched to close so no one would come in. The room was peaceful except for a few ambient noises: the busy streets outside, the ceiling fan spinning away, the stereo playing a soft melody, and a few of Tomura's Pokemon playing about.
Sandygast was under the young man's feet, enjoying the message as Tomura played around in the Pokémon's warm body. Pawniard was sitting in his lap and glaring at Kurogiri who paid the Pokemon no mind. Misdreavus was floating around and trying to sing along with the radio's melody but sounded like it was screaming softly with the song. Then there was Gligar who was perched on Tomura's back and looking over at the alcoholic beverage he was drinking. Gligar would try and lick the juice that went over the side of his mouth when he took a drink. Eventually, the young man gave up and gave the Pokemon his cherry. Gligar grabbed his hand and held it in place as he gobbled the fruit down and licked his fingers afterward.
Tomura tried to hide his forming laughter smile but was failing as Gligar was working its way down his arm. Kurogiri sighed at this and told him, "You shouldn't feed your pets people food. It's not good for them."
"It's all the same. Besides, it's one cherry. What's gonna happen? He gets bad gas?", Tomura snapped back at the mist man, while Gligar stuck his tongue at the bartender.
Just then the two of them were startled by the front door suddenly being pounded on, rapidly and forcefully! It was a miracle that the door did not fly off from how hard it was being banged on! The two of them stood up fast and with extreme caution at the sudden aggressive place before them! They looked at one another and hoped whoever was on the other side was who they were expecting!
Meanwhile, on the other side of the door, Majesta was the one pounding on the door with such incredible force, despite her smaller and weaker-looking frame! She continued the mantra for several seconds but no one would or was answering. It very quickly got boring and aggravating, enough so to the point that the people behind her were getting impatient. Directly behind her was Bayo, then behind him was a swiftly taller and muscular man. Then behind him, in his shadow, were three other people.
The tall muscular man groaned in the complaint and offered, "Should I just break the door down?"
Bayo wagged his finger disapprovingly and told him, "No, nothing like that. We're here for Diplomacy, not Heresy."
From behind the mountain-sized man, another male voice said, "Sir, I don't think you know what that word means. Just because they both have the same prefix at the end, doesn't mean their rhyming opposites."
As they were distracted, Kurogiri worked up the nerve to open the door and unfortunately was met with the full-scale barrage of Majesta and her strong arm continuing to bang against the mist man's metal collar. The man cried out in pain for a few seconds before Majesta realized she wasn't pounding on the door anymore. She stopped, allowing the man to crumple to his knees and garb the neck brace while hissing through his teeth!
The woman, along with Bayo, looked over the downed man while apologizing. "Sorry about that, Majesta tends to work by muscle memory when she is not fully conscious of her surroundings. Hope you're not too hurt.", Bayo apologized to him.
"No-no! I'm fine.", Kurogiri held up his hand dismissively while trying to talk through his strained voice. He coughed a few times before standing back up and holding his neck brace ushered them in. "Please, come in."
The six people strut in and spread about to admire the space and get some breathing room from previously being so cramped up. Kurogiri rubs his neck brace and waddles back to the bar counter while Tomura spins around in his barstool to stare and glare at the visitors. All six of them are completely silent as they serve their new area with interest: touching things, poking things, smelling the air around, all very unusual stuff.
Bayo is the first to speak in the group and says, "Nice place you got around here."
One of the other men accompanying him, a shorter man with upwards hair, looked at his statement baffled and smeared, "Nice?! I wouldn't even spit in a place like this!"
Getting pissed off already, Tomura challenges the weird-haired man and vexes him. "Does being a villain mean you need standards or are you just a natural prissy?", he asked him with a serious tone.
This man, the weird men's hair, stood up even more and began to move like it was alive! He took a stance like he was ready to fight, and Tomura dropped Pawniard while raising his hands forward ready to kill him! Before the two of them could go for each other's throats, Bayo slid between them, without moving his legs, and stopped them before they could engage.
He raised a finger to the both of them and wagging it said in a disciplining voice, "Now now. There's no reason to be going after each other's throats here. This is a peace meeting.", he turns to face the young man and says in a cordial tone, "So you must be the League of Villains second in command, Tomura Shigaraki? I see you've been enjoying your gift? Hope you're treating them well."
Bayo referred to the Pokemon around him. Gligar was still on his back and glaring his fangs at the weird-haired man, while Pawniard and Sandygast stood at his feet, and Misdreavus floated just above his head, looking ready to scream.
After asking about his previous statement, he looks to Kurogiri, who answers, "He has.", putting a smile under Bayo's smiling zipper face.
Annoyed at this point and full of questions, Tomura points a convincing finger and demands, "And they are?"
Bayo lightens up at the question and says proudly, "Oh! These are the Five Admins of Team Freak. You've already met Majesta, my right-hand woman and secretary.", he motions to the woman who roughly pounded down the door and almost caved Kurogiri's neck brace in.
Majesta was extremely tall for the average woman, 6' 10' ' to be exact, with a very prominent and voluptuous female hourglass figure. Her hair was long while being colored and styled like that of the body of a Mismagius. Her eyes were also the same color as the Pokemon with pink-colored lips and pale skin. She was adorned with a female business suit complete with pencil skirt and stiletto heels, even the suit she wore was in the visage of Mismagius. Around her neck was a necklace with three red oval gems. Her expression was in stark contrast to the rest of her teammates, who all held some kind of different expression. She held a look of extreme seriousness, up to the point she looked devoid of all emotions. Just plain neutrality, even her voice was cold and evenly paced, like that of a machine.
"Nice meeting you.", Majesta greeted the two men with a bow.
"Then my left-hand man, Kokoro.", Bayo introduced the next man, who simply grunted in greeting.
Kokoro was a shorter man whose nose alone only came up to Bayo's forehead. He had pure white hair that was styled like that of the head tentacles of a Malamar. His attire, full body length poncho pants, and boots, was designed in the likeness of Malamar. Even the sleeves on his outfit were made to look like the Pokémon's arm tentacles. He even wore a mask, covering only his mouth, built to look like the beak of said Pokemon. Even his eyes were also the same color as Malamar.
"And then there's the muscle, Achshaph.", Bayo introduced the large muscular man, who only waved with a crooked smile.
Achshaph was by far the largest in the group, standing well over 9' 5", to the point his head would just touch the ceiling and not the brightest. He had the physique of a professional bodybuilder with no hair on his head, blue eyes, and very dark skin. He wore no shirt at all, just pants, and what used to be boots and gloves. The remnants of such had been melted away by an unusual purple liquid constantly being excreted from his hands and feet. The only other thing he wore was a bandana around his forehead. The few bits of clothing he did have were colored in the pattern of a Drapion. Even the bandana had the Pokémon's eyes printed on the front.
Bayo finally got to the last two, introducing them together with a lovey-dovey tone, "And of course the lovers, Eclipse and Rosemary."
Eclipse tipped his hat in greeting while Rosemary blew a kiss. Both of them were all over each other like a loving couple.
Eclipse was a tall man, around 6' 3", with black hair, yellow eyes, and dressed in the visage of a Honchkrow. An old Victorian-style suit with an extremely puffed-out chest, pants, high boots, and white gloves covered his figure. It was hard to tell if he was wearing a hat or had very strange styled hair on his head, but it looked like the feather pattern on a Honchkrow. Although it wasn't obvious at first glance, his suit had no sleeves. Instead, his arms were covered in long black feathers while a wing extension dropped down from each of his wrists.
Rosemary was a taller woman, around 6' 7', with yellow-green eyes, and a feminine figure that was far less pronounced than Majesta. Her hair, and most of her body, was hidden under a one-piece stealth suit made in the design of a Liepard. The suit was made from something with the qualities of both spandex and leather. The only parts of her that showed were her eyes, mouth, an area by her hips and thighs, and a boob window. She also wore gloves with claws that stuck out, stiletto heels with metal claws that stuck out, and a loose utility belt around her waist. Finally, she had what seemed to be ears and a tail to compliment her outfit. Though it was hard to tell if it was a part of her anatomy or costume since Tomura swore he saw them move.
After all the introduction ended, Tomura took a long moment to look around and stare at each person before saying, "...Those are the dumbest names I've heard of."
This immediately sets off all the admins as each of them readies themselves to attack the young man! At first, Tomura was surprised to be met with such an aggressive response, then put himself into attack mode with hands out!
But before anything could go down, Bayo stopped the tension with a hearty laugh, which froze everything. He then skunked up to Tomura, his body seemingly waving back and forth like it was blowing in wind, and leaned up towards the young man while saying in a low tone, "I'm gonna kiss you one day soon."
Tomura immediately backed away from the smaller teen until he was cornered against the bar and stated back, "What?"
This was followed by a round of stifled laughter from the five admins. Everything was calm again, but severely uncomfortable for Tomura.
With Tomura and the admins calm, Bayo clapped his covered hands and stated while looking around, "Now with the introduction out of the way, where is your leader?"
"No need to search, I'm right here.", a deep and brooding voice called out from somewhere.
Everyone began to look for the location of the voice until a hidden door suddenly opened up and revealed an imposing figure sitting in a dark room with many medical machines beeping and glowing behind him. The loudest part of all was a manual respirator helping him breathe within the eerie silence, and adding to the atmosphere.
Kurogiri then cleared his throat and warped to the door, he announced the voice's owner, stating, "Presenting the long-lived, oldest, and most dangerous villain in the world. The true leader of The League of Villains, All for One."
Bayo and his admins could almost feel the smile he made in the dark, running chills up their spines. Then a low purr of an automatic chair could be heard and the man began to move forward until his entire visage was revealed in the light. A disgusted skivvy feeling ran through the people as they saw the state of the man. Although large and imposing, even sitting down, he looked weak. It was especially apparent in his face which was disfigured beyond repair! He no longer possessed hair, eyebrows, eyes, nose, or even ears! Just a rough patch of skin where it all should be. The only normal part about him was his mouth with multiple tubes sticking out of his neck and head.
All for One gave a slight chuckle which turned into a cough, and after calming himself, he said to them, "So sorry for my tardy arrival, I was getting myself ready and lost the time. You must be Team Freak."
Majesta was the one to speak first since everyone else was too scared to move their lips, and cordially replied, "Indeed we are. Thank you for having us."
All for One waved his hand and nonchalantly told her, "Please, the pleasure is all mine, it's so nice to finally meet the leader of your organization. Shall we discuss business, young lady?"
Almost immediately strange looks were thrown at All for One by the admins, leading to a very tense and awkward silence filling the room. Even All for One eventually felt it linger around him.
Eventually, it was Majesta who understood what he said and politely corrected him, "I'm sorry, you must be mistaken. I'm not our glorious leader."
All for One smiles in apology and says, "My apologies, you have a very commanding demeanor to you."
He then turns his head to Kokoro who immediately shakes his head and tells him, "I might dream about it a time or two, but it's not me."
All for One then looks to Eclipse, who replies with a head shake and grunting, "Mhmm un."
"Don't look at me.", Rosemary immediately tells him as soon as his head turns towards her.
He briefly looks in the direction of Achshaph, who is looking somewhere else and biting his fingernail, instantly knowing it was him. At this point, he was completely exasperated at this game of guess who, and even though he had barely anything resembling a face, it was obvious he was getting pissed.
With an angry yet exasperated sigh, he demanded as nicely as he could, "Well who is?"
"AHEM!", announced someone outside of All for One's 'vision'. As he tries to find the source, he hears a younger voice announce, "Down here."
All for One glanced down and 'saw' Bayo standing near his feet, looking up at the huge man with his Bayonet plush under his arm. A mad smile rose on the man's face and he burst out into gut-busting laughter while tickling his chin and told him, "AH HA HA HA HA HA HA! Why don't you run along little one, and let the real bosses talk."
Within moments the air around the whole bar grew cold and deadly tense! The admins grew stressed and anxious as they looked at the young teen standing deadly still while staring at All for One. Each one of them began to back away or even try to hide, putting both Tomura and Kurogiri on edge! For a while, Bayo said and did nothing as All for One continued to chuckle at his expense. Then the room grew darker with the faint sound of many voices whispering around them. This is what made All for One stopped laughing as he looked down at the teen.
Without warning Bayo cracked his fingers and neck in a sudden and very creepy manner, making all parties jump from fright! Which only increased when the room darkened further to the point that lights looked like they were being covered by something, and the whispers grew even louder. Now some giggles could be heard which only made the room grow more tense and cold.
Bayo looked up at the large man and tilted his head to the side he asked, "Oh? So you think you're a real boss, hmmm?"
All for One said nothing as he sat in silence. Bayo chuckled at his lack of reaction, and asked him again, "Well then, riddle me this?"
The moment those words left behind his mask darkness fell over his face and he threw out a Dusk ball and his plushie towards Tomura and Kurogiri! The ball popped open and out came a Pokemon that looked like a chandelier. The chandelier-looking Pokemon then used the ominous fire billowing from its head and stuck it into Kurogiri's mouth, from there the man immediately fell to his knees, grabbing his throat as his smoke began to turn white! The Banette doll that Bayo threw at Tomura suddenly flew towards the young man, its zipper mouth anonymously opening, and the doll suddenly biting down around his whole face! Tomura tried to rip off the doll but it clung on like a bear trap on his face! The man began to panic, especially when he noticed that his quirk wasn't working on it!
All for One was baffled, to say the least as everything happened so quickly, but did not look surprised or even frightened. Just surprised. Things got more intense when several tentacles made from the shadows emerged from the ground and wrapped around the large man! Pulling him in his chair towards the completely still Bayo! All for One was dragged noisily across the floor and forcefully leaned forward to meet eye level with Bayo.
The teen's face was still darkened, but then the glow of his goggles and zipper illuminated as he asked in a threatening tone, "Who's the boss now?!"
Again, All for One didn't look frightened or shocked or upset in any way, just surprised. It was like he learned something that seems obvious but still very new to him. There was silence between them for several seconds until the large man suddenly laughed and another hearty laugh.
When he finished his laughter, he smiled at the teen and said, "My apologies. When I hear the title of Boss or leader, I simply expect someone with more hair on their chest. Do forgive me."
Almost instantly the tension and dark aura in the room lifted as the normal light level came back and the whispers went silent. Even the admins relax with the atmosphere. The tentacles holding All for One in place vanished as they sank back into the ground around Bayo's feet. The young teen's face was no longer darkened with the illuminated goggles and zipper mouth. Now it was just his normal mask in full view. It was hard to tell, but Bayo had a thinking face on him.
After a small hum, he said, "I suppose I can let it slide this time. Since it is a recurring thing with me, and I guess you weren't informed properly about my appearance."
Bayo then snapped his fingers and both the chandelier Pokemon and the living doll let go of their victims. Kurogiri gasped and coughed as the flame excited his mouth and his normal color returned, while Tomura gasped for air as zipper teeth marks lined the outer parts of his face. Once he could see and breathe again, he looked down at the doll who stuck its wispy tongue at him before waddling back over to Bayo with the chandelier Pokemon and jumping into his arms.
"What the hell!? That thing is alive?!", Tomura yelled while pointing at the living toy.
Bayo rolled his eyes under his goggles and replied, "Of course he's alive. Did you think I carried around a stuffed Banette toy just to look cute and innocent?", Tomura clenched his fists in anger and looked like he wanted to yell or attack until Bayo suddenly said, "And besides, he has a name. He's my special little Mochi!"
Tomura hadn't realized it at first, but he knew those two Pokémon that just attacked them from his studies. The chandelier-looking Pokemon was a Chandelure, a Pokemon with the ability to steal souls through its flame. And the other was a Banette, and no doubt Bayo's namesake. A stuffed toy that was embedded with a vengeful spirit. It was no wonder his quirk couldn't do anything. Then he realized what Bayo called his Banette.
Tomura raised an eyebrow and with a judgmental tone he asked, "Mochi?"
Anger could be felt from behind Bayo's mask as he got uncomfortably close to Tomura and yelled, "Yes, Mochi. I named him when I was three, get off my dick!"
"Banette was it?", All for One interjected, sensing the growing tentacles from beneath him.
Bayo immediately drew his attention from Tomura and told All for One with a calmer tone, "Bayo is fine."
"Well Bayo, shall we discuss more important topics in the other room? Allow our subordinates to socialize.", All for One offered while moving his chair to the side, motioning to the darkroom behind him.
"I thought you'd never ask.", Bayo replied cheerfully while returning Chandelure and picking up Mochi.
Before he could take the first step, however, Achshaph grabbed his arm and crouched down to his level, and trying to hide behind him as a child begged him in a fearful stutter, "B-Boss! W-W-Wait!"
"What's wrong, Achshaph?", Bayo asked the bald man with concern while petting his head.
"P-Please d-don't go! He…..he's s-scary!", the huge man shivered like a frightened dog, trying to avoid looking at the grand villain.
A smile formed under his mask and taking the large man's face in his hands he said with a sweet tone, "Oh Achshaph, your concern is admirable and always thoughtful. But there's one thing you must know about me.", Achshaph looked to his boss like a child looking at an adult for advice. Bayo then roughly grabbed his cheeks and exclaimed with a demonic tone, "I'm FaR ScArIeR ThAn AnYtHiNg ElsE!"
Then several shadow tentacles emerged from under his hoodie, lifting him up into the air and skittering across the ground where they squeeze through the door and closed it behind him with a large BANG as a few stragglers morphed into the doors cracks before leaving sight! The room was dead silent apart from the radio stuck on the same track over and over. It was a few minutes before things settled down enough for casual conversation, and the first one to speak up was Tomura.
"What a Freak Show.", he said under his breath while breathing a sigh of relief.
"And now you know where our names come from.", Eclipse quipped from the side, apparently hearing his hushed voice.
Three Hours Later
"What's taking so long!? It's been forever! What could they possibly be talking about?!", Kokoro yelled while pounding on the counter, nearly sending drinks flying.
"It's a peace agreement. These things take time so all parties are satisfied to some extent.", Majesta told him calmly while taking a sip of her fancy looking beer.
"I wouldn't be surprised if they took all night.", Kurogiri agrees with her as he shakes a drink.
"Don't say that or you'll jinx it!", Kokoro yells again while slamming the counter again and taking a shot.
As Tomura listened to the admins and Kurogiri bicker, he sat on his lone stool sipping his drink and petting Misdreavus. He was taking another sip when he fell a very hard set of eye's on him. He turned his head and saw Achshaph sitting on two bar stools next to him, and glaring down angrily with his arms crossed. Achshaph had been watching him all night, thought from afar before, but he was right next to him.
So holding back the urge to attack, he looked up at the man and asked in a dangerous tone, "Can I help you?"
"I want that kiss.", Achshaph replied quickly.
"What?", Tomura asked back while raising an eyebrow.
"I want that kiss.", he repeated himself.
Tomura felt a tap on his shoulder and when he turned he saw Kokoro sitting beside him. Before he could say anything to him, Kokoro told him, "He's talking about before, when the boss proclaimed to smooch you in the future."
With that question satisfied he asked another following bit, "Oh that. What was that? Is your boss all there in the head?"
"Same could be asked of you.", Kokoro chuckled while taking another shot.
"Tomura.", Kurogiri warned him in a dead serious tone, as he saw the young man's hand raise up.
Tomura growls at this and states back, "He knows I'm far older than him."
"Oh don't worry, it's not a proclamation of love or desire, only affection.", Eclipse chips in, making Tomura confused.
"The boss has an odd way of showing affection or that he cares. So he'll do or say stuff like before.", Rosemary explained further.
"I want that kiss.", Achshaph repeated.
"I would count yourself lucky. To be given any form of affection from the boss shows you're in his good graces. And that is always a plus.", Majesta informed him while taking another sip.
"I want that kiss.", Achshaph repeated yet again.
Tomura growled as he whipped his head at the man and whipped his head back to the admins, while thumbing over his shoulder, and asking in a pissed-off tone, "Is he broken or something?"
"Achshaph? No, he just gets jealous easily. He's a sucker for the boss's affection and will do anything to get it, even from others.", Eclipse told him before following up with, "He'd act this way even if Boss Bayo offered you a head pat."
"I want that-.", Achshaph tried to re-repeat himself again until Tomura cut him off.
"I GET IT!", he yelled while slamming his hand on the table, causing it to partially decay.
An awkward silence filled the room as everyone stared at the young man and his destroyed counter space, much to Kurogiri's chagrin and aggravation.
Kokoro snorted at him and teased him, offering, "You should invest in gloves."
Tomura turned his ire towards the half-drunk man, looking ready to rip at his throat, until Kurogiri came to the rescue and asked, "On the topic of your leader. Would you care to explain his Quirk?"
"Quirk?", Kokoro questions while downing another shot. Then he realized what he meant and said, "OH! You mean his PokeGene power."
"Yes…..that.", Kurogiri replies, unsure of what he meant.
"Well in simple terms, Boss Bayo is like a Ghost-type Pokemon. He had full control over darkness itself, form things from darkness, and even faze through solid matter or travel within it.", Majesta informed the two men after finishing off her drink.
"And the rest of you.", Kurogiri asked, hoping it would take time for Tomura to calm down.
"Kokoro has Physic powers, but he extends only to full Mind Mind Control and Mind Probing.", Majesta motioned to the man while wiping her lips.
Tomura looked to the man who, after downing his last shot, locked eyes with him. Eyes that glow with a strange power before Tomura felt he lost himself. Without warning, Tomura then felt his body move on its own and poke one of his eyes. He grabbed his face in pain, feeling his control return, and then looked up to glare at the shit-eating grin on his face. Before he could attack him, Majesta continued.
"Achshaph constantly secrets highly concentrated Toxins from his extremities. And yes, all his extremities.", she emphasized the last part.
Tomura looked back to the huge man, who was not looking away and hunched over his drink. Sadly sipping through a straw on the verge of tears. Even if Tomura wanted to kill him before, and still now, he couldn't help but feel a little bad for him.
He sucked air through his teeth and told him with a pitiful voice, "You poor bastard."
Leading Achshaph to hunch over even more while sipping his drink harder, and already crying!
Veering off from the current conversation, Majesta slid in and motioned to the next admin while saying, "Eclipse has wings to fly and shoot feathers."
Eclipse gave a sneak peek of this by extending the wings on his wrists outward while holding his cheap whisky drink up.
"While Rosemary has senses, reflexes, reaction time, and endurance that go beyond superhuman.", Majesta told the two villains, motioning to the woman sitting right next to Eclipse.
Once their eyes were locked, Rosemary blew a kiss after sipping her wine glass.
"How beyond are we talking about?", Kurogiri inquired further.
The ears on her head flickered a few times before she pointed to a wall and said, "That painting on the far right corner is about to fall."
The two men looked at one another, wondering what she meant, and then one of the larger decorative paintings behind Kurogiri's head suddenly broke off and fell to the floor! The two men looked down at the painting, then back at the woman who winked with a knowing smirk.
Kokoro poured himself a few more shots and pointed a thumb to Majesta he explained, "Majesta here is sorta like me. But instead of Telepathy, she has Telekinesis. She can float herself or objects of varying sizes, create projectiles made of psychic fire, and shift through solid matter."
The two men looked at the woman with great intrigue at her many abilities, especially the last one. Majesta, who was applying lipstick, told them, "Density shifting is a hard skill to learn, and I haven't mastered it myself."
"Regardless, you have some very interesting powers. You should feel proud.", Kurogiri commended her as the woman's face showed no signs of change from the praise.
Before their conversation could continue any further, the secret door was roughly slammed open, causing everyone to jump from their seats, and out came Bayo in a flamboyant pose wall proudly proclaiming, "Good news everyone! I'm having a baby. Right now!", a round of spit takes, coughs, screams and even one fainting took place after this news, all while Bayo burst out laughing and unapologetically followed up with, "I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Ha! You should see your faces!"
Kokoro grabbed his chest and exclaimed angrily, "OH UNMERCIFUL GIRATINA, BAYO! I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK!"
"Please don't do that again boss. I don't think I could take a scare like that again.", Eclipse begged while clutching to his dead-looking wife while on his knees, knelt over like in pain.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I couldn't help myself!", Bayo laughed while wiping away a tear. "I've always wanted to do that.", he proclaimed to no one while looking at the ceiling with sparkling goggles of achievement. "But for real, I have amazing news!", he shifted his tone with exciting jazz to it.
Leading all in attendance to give their full attention to the young leader.
"Team Freak and the League of Villains are officially in co-operation.", All for One told them as he appeared from the darkness, behind Bayo.
"WHAT?!", everyone shouted in a panicked shock.
"That's what this whole take was about. Our two organizations are pulling together and making allies of one another. There's no reason for us to fight when our end goals align to some degree.", All for One explained to the silently stunned crowd.
"I and All for One have already worked out the details with one another, we just hope you all can trust us enough to that end.", Bayo added as Mochi crawled up to his shoulder.
Tomura looked towards All for One, the man, the idol, the God who saved him and sent him on this crusade so long ago. The one person who knows all and knows best. The one person he was Will kg to do anything for, no matter the cost. Cause that's just how much he believes in him and his image.
Tomura lifted his hands and said to the man with knees shaking with excitement, near to the verge of collapsing, "My life and everything I have is all thanks to you, Sensei. Through high water and hellfire, I will always follow you and respect your commands!"
"My sentiment is the same.", Kurogiri stated more simply with a deep bow.
Majesta got n her hands and knees, nose to the ground before Bayo's feet, alongside the other admins, and proclaimed with a serious yet neutral tone, "It's an honor to serve you as your subordinates, Boss Bayo. And as such we will follow your plan to the end, and use any means to help reach it with all the stretch we have!"
"For the glory of you! For the safety of the world. For the change that it so needs. We pledge ourselves to you and you alone.", all the admins spoke in unison like some religious prayer.
A smile formed behind his mask and Bayo raised his hand out and up while commanding, "Rise my admins, and pull your noses from the dirt! Never lower your head to the muk again! Raise your head high and be proud! Look towards the sky, look towards the future! It is within our grasp, and we. Will. Take it!"
Silence once again filled the room as all eyes were once again on the extremely animated and over-the-top Team Freak in their proclamation and loyalty to their leader. Tomura rolled his eyes and silently under his breath, breathed out, "What a bunch of hams."
Somehow Bayo appeared to hear this and snapped his head towards the young man, making him jump! Bayo was in front of the young man's face, moving at an incredible speed that Tomura could even process! The only thing he saw was the reflective lenses in his mask's goggles, making him start to sweat nervously!
He could hear an amusement chuckle eminent from the teen's throat, and he said to him, "Tomura, I eagerly look forward to working alongside you shortly. And together we will accomplish our goals with little effort. Breaking down the old system in place for something new.", Bayo looked down and saw Sandygast hiding behind his feet, clearly on edge. "On a different note. I'm glad to see you enjoyed my gift. Originally I only wanted to send the USB and six Pokemon, but I couldn't decide which one, so I sent the first nine I handpicked for you.", Tomura said nothing in reply except breathing a bit more relaxed than before. "On that note I also want you to have this one.", the teen said to him while opening his hand, offering a strange-looking Pokéball.
It was teal on top with the image of a gold eastern dragon with its mouth open, trying to eat the button, while the underside was a strange shade red. Tomura looked at the ball and young leader strangely as Bayo told him with a wide smile behind his mask, "Think of my previous gift to you as an extension of gratitude and a civil greeting. Consider this as an Olive Branch of peace."
Tomura took the ball and after throwing it out, a strange-looking creature popped out. It was a small blue quadrupedal Pokémon with black fur covering its head and neck, concealing everything but its mouth from view. The fur around its neck also has six purple spots encircling it, which resemble bruises. The hair on the top of its head takes the shape of a single small horn. It also has a short tail that appears to be bitten off. Soon after being formed it immediately went over to the corner of the bar, slammed its head on it, and bit into it right after. Then proceeding to do the same thing to a bar stool. Tomura knew this Pokemon was a Deino.
Tomura narrows his eyes at the Pokémon with disinterest and disgust, and comments, "It's small and looks dumb and weak."
Bayo laughed at his observation and shaking his head he told him, "Oh dear Tomura. You should know better than anyone." while saying this he took out a Dark ball and dropped it on the ground where it burst forth a new Pokemon that was no doubt the final evolution of Deino.
The Pokémon let loose a bone-chilling roar from all its heads as all of Tomura's current Pokemon fled in fear!
"That looks are very deceiving!", he said with a deadly serious tone before returning it to him. "I'll be sure to get that kiss from you in the future, as…..compensation.", he told the young man while looking over his shoulder with a coy tone.
Obviously winking under his goggles, much to Tomura's chagrin and All for One's amusement.
Bayo then slapped his hoodie off and told his admins, "With that, I believe we should take our leave, come everyone, let us return to base."
Just before he left, he turned to Achshaph and commanded him, "Achshaph, you can carry me.", a huge smile spread across the huge man's face, and after a few heavy jumps he scooped Bayo onto his shoulder. Once on top, the teen looked back at the arch-villain and his lackeys and greeted them farewell. "Goodbye League of Villains. I hope to hear from you soon.", he said while waving coyly while Mochi stuck his wispy tongue out.
Once all the admins and their leaders' footsteps had disappeared from the hallway and the stairs, Tomura breathed an exasperated sigh and said under his breath, "Freaks."
Meanwhile, outside with Team Freak, the team was walking through the darkened back alleyways without care, clearly headed somewhere. Once they were far away from the phony bar disguised for a villain to hide out, and hopefully out of listening ears from their leader, Kokoro looked to his boss atop Achshaph's shoulder and inquired his objectivity.
"Boss. Are you serious about this whole peace thing?", he asked with confusion and concern.
Bayo looked down at the man while tilting his head and asked back, "Of course I am. What gives you the impression I'm not?"
Kokoro looked around one last time, shivered, and told him, "That All for One potato-looking mutant has a very tough mind. I was only able to retrieve scraps from his heavily fortified and fractured mind, but I saw that he's only using us like he's using those two idiots."
Bayo laughed at this, making the man more confused. After he stopped he looked down at his subordinate and told him, "That's the beauty of the alliance, Kokoro. He might be using us, but he doesn't know that we're also using him."
Kokoro was silent as he proceeded with this info before a large and sky grin appeared under his translucent mask. He gave a raised eyebrow with a knowing look and asked, "What do you have planned, Bayo?"
Bayo chuckled and giggled devilishly before telling him, "Oh something big. Big big big! And we're going to need the League of Villains to be a part of it. We just have to get rid of All for One."
"How do we do that? The guy is practically immortal with more powers than can be recorded in a textbook, and took what could only be referred to as a Demigod just to cripple him into his current state.", Rosemary asked while walking towards the front.
Bayo then reached up towards his mouth and unzipped his zipper mouth, Mochi mimicking the same thing. Once open they all can see a huge smirk on his face. One that already had an answer without words.
"You already have a plan. Don't you?", Eclipse asked his boss with a smile.
Bayo giggled even harder to the point he nearly fell off Achshaph. Once situated comfortably, he told them, "Indeed I do! And Tomura is going to be my catalyst!"
All the admins smiled at their boss, knowing full well that when he said something, he meant it! And that thing was going to happen, and happening it was, all without them realizing it! It was Majesta who had the last comment and said something that brought all the thoughts of the admins as one.
"You are amazing, Boss.", she said as a small blush inched on her cheeks.
Just before they could continue, another phone call blared on Bayo's Rotom phone.
"Zapp. Phone call! Zapp. Phone call! Zapp. Phone call!", rang out the Rotom.
Bayo looked at the caller ID and his face lit up as he proclaimed, "Oh! It's my favorite person!", He pressed the accept button and answered in a sing-song voice, "Helloohoh!"
"Uh….boss?", A nervous voice asked on the other end
"Speaking.", Bayo replied in a more normal tone.
"Oh! I'm, uh! P-Project Eris sir!", The voice stuttered out quickly.
"What about it?", He inquired.
The voice calmed down a little and explained further, "It-Its ready sir. The portals are all filled and ready to send out! This world won't know what hit them!", Bayo said nothing in reply, as if waiting for something. The voice on the phone sighed and said to him, "The flood gates are ready to burst."
"That's more like it! Now then, there is no need to keep the people waiting any longer. Release the torrent!", Bayo commanded boldly before hanging up abruptly, and smiling manically.
