Chapter 3: The Meeting Of hell
Ryuko sat there and watched as some of the top 10 heroes in Japan entered the conference room in her agency. There were also other guests as well which included Nezu, apparently All Might's secretary, and Sir Night Eye. As well as a representative of the HPSC which surprised Ryuko that Rumi would even invite them to a meeting like this in the first place. The bastards will either try to cover everything up or exploit the situation to gain more power. But then again a United front on this was important, If what Vega told her was true.
As the final person entered the room, Which, was endeavor in a wheelchair being pushed by his sidekick Burnin. It was quite obvious to her that the man did not look happy whatsoever which Ryuko could not blame him for. It's got to suck having a broken leg and arm and being forced to wheel around in a wheelchair. Although, he really never looked happy. So it could just be him being in a constant state of smoldering anger and this was just another day for him. Either way, it did not matter, all that did was just that he was here. As everybody sat down it was the HPSC Representative that spoke up first.
"Okay, Ryukyu I think this is everybody, so what was so important that you needed to call an emergency meeting?" The HPSC Representative said In a board and arrogant tone that heavily hinted that he had a superiority complex.
"Well first, I'm not the one who called this meeting, I'm merely hosting it due to Ground Zero being very close to here." Ryuko said in the most professional way that was possible.
"Then would you mind telling us who did call this meeting?" Nezu asked curiously.
"That would be me Pops, and sorry I was late. I have not been here in a long time and I forgot what floor the conference room was on." Rumi said smiling viciously, as she entered the room with a mountain of a man behind her, and with her helmet off so everybody could tell it was her.
Everybody's eyes widened at the sight of a fully armed up Miruko, who looks like she aged a couple of years. But what grabbed a lot of other people's attention was that Miruko, The Rabbit Hero, called Nezu Pops. Seeing this Nezu decided to clear the air, as well as get everybody back on topic.
"Before anyone says anything. yes, Miruko is my adopted daughter, I adopted her when she was seven and raised her in secret. But That is not why we're here, we are here because she called a meeting. Now would you like to explain why you're older and who is your friend?" Nezu said tiredly but still remaining as professional as possible. Nodding Rumi pulled over a chair that was meant for bigger Heroes like all might. When she did the Doom Slayer sat down in it, then she flopped into his lap, Then spoke.
"Before I get to any explanations I should introduce to you my husband, his code name is The bane of hell, The Doom Slayer, and are AI companion Vega. " Rumi said, which The Doom Slayer waved awkwardly, as Vega gave a polite "hello." The announcement of Rumi Being married, made Ryuko and Nezu do a double take. seeing that her smile grew but she continued like nothing she said wasn't a big deal.
"Now for why I called this meeting and why I'm older, I think I should let Vega explain that. Because after 600 years I still don't understand the technical jargon that he spits out." Rumi said nonchalantly.
Which again made everybody in the room do a double-take about how long she was Apparently working with this AI. Which made no sense to anybody including nezu. But none of them could really dwell too much on it since Vegas spoke up shortly after she finished.
"Hello, I am Vega an artificial intelligence that assists the slayer's. If I am correct the one you know as Miruko was gone for around a week for you, Is this correct?" Vega asked which nezu quickly responded with a nod of his head, seeing that he continued.
"My hypothesis was correct then, it appears that the Slayer's home dimension operates on a totally different timetable. If I'm correct around one day here equals 100 years in Hell and The Argenta people's home dimension." vega said causing everybody's eyes to widen in shock. But the HPSC representative just scoffed before speaking up.
"You expect us to believe that she was gone for a little over 600 years, And she was in a totally different dimension for that time. Not to mention that hell exists, *scoff* Don't be ridiculous." HPSC representative Said not believing a single word. Undeterred and unfazed by the man's arrogance vega answered his question.
"Yes, the Slayer's have been fighting together for 600 years against the forces of hell. The Doom Slayer had been fighting for several millennia before he met Miruko, who we met 3 months after arriving in Argent N'mor. My theory is the portal that hell used to get to your dimension became unstable after the dimensional anchor was destroyed, which was the Doom Hunter that she fought. Which ended up sending her to Argent N'mor, a planet the Argenta people colonized long ago." Vega said But the HPSC representative just laughed, Before speaking.
"You expect us to believe that. No, it's more reasonable to say that those monsters were an experiment from some type of villain who used a warping quirk to send them there so they could cause Chaos. I now see this meeting was a waste of time and resources so I will be leaving now. Next time you want to call us make sure it's important and not some type of lunatic's fantasy." HPSC representative said condescendingly as he got up and left the conference room.
When the door closed behind him an audible sound of wood cracking could be heard. Looking toward the source they could see a fuming doom Slayer who just crushed the mahogany armrest of his chair as Rumi held him down. But if the face that she was making was anything to go by she was sorely tempted just to let her husband rip a new hole into that man. As the two settled down Rumi spoke up.
"Well to be honest we should have expected that reaction from HPSC, fucking prick's the lot of them." Rumi said, the last part she mumbled but it was still loud enough for everybody to hear.
"Indeed Ms Slayer, Even though their reactions were within established parameters the effort needed to be made nonetheless. Although I do have to admit being dismissed like that without asking if we had proof, which we have an abundance of, Was annoying, and if I may quote Ms. Slayer here. it is obvious that the man has the brains of a barfing canary, and a sticks so far up his ass that he should be considered a human shish kabob!" Vega said which made everybody snort including the Doom Slayer and Rumi.
"Although that was amusing, I believe we need to address something first Before we can discuss this incident further." Night Eye said Stiffly As He adjusted his glasses.
"And that is?" Vega asked curiously but with an edge in his tone. Not deterred in the slightest by Vegas tone Night Eye answered.
"First, I think we should know the identity of the Doom Slayer and We should also verify that this woman is indeed Miruko. Second, the Doom Slayer should be charged with vigilantism, Especially since I believe I caught that you said both of them were from this dimension. And with your calculations, I believe he should know our laws including the Vigilante laws. " Night Eye said.
This only made Rumi and the Doom Slayer laugh, even Vega laughed but it was obvious it was only an approximation of laughter. But everybody could hear the Mirth in Vega's voice when he spoke up.
"Unfortunately, your vigilante laws do not apply to the Doom Slayer since he does not have the genetic mutations that you call quirks." Vega said amused causing everybody to gasp in shock and surprise. But Night Eye quickly recovered but before he could speak Vega spoke up again.
" In fact, everything he has done would be classified under self-defense since he did not use a quirk and he defended not only himself but others. As for the Doom Slayer's identity, he does not need to tell you a thing, since he is protected under the Privacy Act of 2040, which states an individual does not need to reveal his name or identity as long he has not committed any crimes. In fact, this law is quite well used by most Heroes today to keep their identities Secret from the public. As for confirming the Slayer Miruko's identity. I have recorded Every second from the Doom Slayer's perspective since I teamed up with him. Which I also started doing with the Slayer Miruko as well. If 600 years of recorded evidence is not enough to prove her identity. I guess you can do a DNA test when we are done here or at a later date." Vega spoke Causing Night Eye to sit down with a scowl on his face, once he was seated vega spoke up again.
"Now since the meaningless debate and interruptions are out of the way, we can get started with the meeting. I have compiled a video showcase for you all highlighting all the fights with the demons. As well as images and-" Vega spoke but Rumi and Izuku Just muted the outside world as they talked to Each other over coms.
They already knew everything Vega was going to say and they both knew how long-winded Vega could get when he went on a tirade. 3 hours in, the two realized that they were needed. It was a good thing too because Everybody in the room was pale as white as ghosts and looked like they wanted to throw up.
"ahh, What did we miss." Rumi asked sheepishly, but Everybody just looked at the two With a dead pan expression, as Vega answered.
"I was just finishing explaining what was hell and was going to move on to their forces."
"And it took you 3 hours to do that?" Rumi said dumbfounded. But seeing everybody's faces it was obvious that he went into way too much detail. So she decided to help wrap up this meeting.
"Okay he explained hell and I'm assuming he showed you guys the videos." Rumi asked and when everybody nodded she continued.
"Okay, you got the fucking Basics then, so let's turn this into a questionnaire and wrap up this meeting." Rumi said And with a hesitant nod from everybody, Ryuko spoke up.
"Those creatures, That we fought in the hospital I think you called them the possessed, is there a cure or an inoculation? Because I do not fancy becoming one of those things." Ryuko said Concerned. But before Vega or the slayers could answer, All Might's secretary Toshinori Yagi spoke up.
"possessed, what are you talking about? I was under the impression the things you fought in the hospital, came from the portal. " Yagi said confused.
"The Possessed are humans who have been taken over by the forces of Hell, with mutated and deformed appearances. " Vegas started to say as he showed a picture of a couple of possessed Before continuing.
"Possessed are puppets that are driven by instinct and are usually psychically controlled by greater demons. Although they are quite weak, It appears that they retain the capability of using the user's quirks as well as the quirks being supercharged. Unfortunately, miss Ryuko this is not a disease so there is no inoculation or cure. Although I do have to admit I have not seen anything that could resist Argent Biowaves like your cells have done so that may be something to look into. Anyway, you all must understand that This is a mutation caused by Biowaves of Argent energy. The only way to gain immunity to it, Is through Mithridatism. But that is risky to the point of insanity. The only reason that Miss Slayer is immune is because we had a near-unlimited supply of demons to harvest energy from, a heart from a greater demon and a fragment of the dark lord, As well as a prototype of the Divinity Machine that had to be extensively modified. It took 6 years to complete that for one person. If the planet was inhabited by anything but demons the process could have created a massive amount of possessed or worse." Vegas said.
"And what is Argent energy if I may ask?" Nezu asked but instead of Vega responding it was Rumi this time.
"That's classified pops." Rumi said seriously. But Nezu was still curious probably even more so now. Seeing this Rumi let out a low growl before speaking up again.
"Trust me pops, if you don't want the planet being fucked sideways by a rabies-infested Mancubus. You will drop the subject into the deepest parts of the Abyss and forget it ever existed." Rumi said Menacingly Causing everybody to stiffen. Thankfully this was enough to get the message across to her father. Not wanting to deal with any more bullshit She ended the meeting there. But as everybody left the room the two slayers were approached by Ryuko and Nezu.
"Before you leave I would like to invite you to my school so we may go over strategies on how to deal with this upcoming threat," Nezu said.
Rumi knew that a strategy meeting was the last thing on his mind. Oh, she did not doubt that the meeting was going to talk about strategies. But she knew that he was calling this meeting to get something from her and her husband.
"Please pops, just tell us what you actually want because I have no patience to deal with the chess game you're playing. Tell us what you want now or you can count us out of it." Rumi said. Which just caused Nezu to sigh before answering.
"Fine, I wanted to talk about this in private but if I must. Although I did Intend to talk about strategies, I mostly wanted to offer you a position as well as your husband as a teacher in my school. Do this and I will guarantee your husband will get a hero license. Although he will have to go through a practical exam to get one, Which I know that it would not be an issue for him. Especially if the reports I have gotten on how he handled the Demons are anything to go by." Nezu said seriously.
Rumi wanted to say no, because babysitting brats would be too much of a hassle. But her husband had a problem and this could fix it. Her and Vega have been trying for centuries now to get him to talk, and they made progress in doing so. But he only really talked when he absolutely needed to otherwise he would remain silent. Being isolated for several millennia made it a really bad habit that Rumi was determined to break. And her father just so happened to offer a position that would make him speak more. Plus her husband was extremely smart and had a plethora of knowledge on demons. and all she would have to do is kick some brats into shape, Literally and Figuratively speaking.
"Okay, but me and my husband are in charge of their physical training and combat training, and my husband teaches demon mythology and tactics.
Rumi said with a vicious grin which Nezu matched. The Doom Slayer wanted to protest this decision but one look from his wife made him stop. He knew what she was attempting to do and he had to admit Not talking as much is a bad habit for him. But there was a reason why he stopped, a reason his wife knew. But he realized this might actually be for the best. If this world was going to fight the demons, the Warriors of this world needed to know how to deal with them, otherwise they would not survive their first encounter with them. Letting out a sigh of resignation he nodded his head in agreement. But it was when his wife took Ryuko by the arm and announced that they were going out drinking, was when he knew his fate was sealed.
