"Telling the truth is not always the right thing to do"
-Tom Shredfield, Taboo Tatoo
...
Shortly after meeting Sir Nighteye. And before goes take care of the League of Villains
Returning to the lab with Eri in my arms I see a small problem. THIS IS A LABORATORY.
Eri has been suffering in a lab for a long time. Tch. What to do?
Finding an empty room, I start throwing in things that will give it a more homey vibe. It's lunch time yet. I think I'll take Eri out to eat. I don't care if they see me without my costume. They wont recognise me, only Eri maybe and they can't follow me if I want to teleport. And I'm so strong it's not funny anymore.
I no longer wear my Thor Suit, because I'm in this world to train and test my limits. I can't cheat any more than I'm doing.
Hmm... I need new clothes for Eri. With long sleeves. Hide the scars... When I train with [Overhaul] I will fix this.
"Eri wake up. If you sleep now, you will not sleep at night." I say waking up the little girl.
"Un...?" She blinks in confusion.
"Eri. Listen to me. I'm going out to buy you some clothes. It will only take a few minutes. I want you to be strong and stay here watching that cartoon until I get back. And when I come back, we're going out to eat, right?" I talk to her keeping eye level.
"Are you really coming back?" she asks holding my mantle tightly.
"Certainly. Pinky promise" She looks at me confused. Eh... doesn't she know about Pinky promise? I thought it was common in Japan...
She really lived sheltered, huh?
"Pinky promise is like this... You hook your pinky finger with someone and you have to keep your word." I say teaching her how to do it. "I'll be back to take you out to eat. Trust me okay?"
She nods now.
After one last look at her, I quickly retreat. The faster I buy her clothes. The faster I will be back.
....
27 minutes later.
I'm at a family restaurant in civilian clothes. I keep Eri's quirk horn to pass as her older brother.
Eri is sitting next to me so I can help her eat and wipe her mouth occasionally.
Uh... there's a woman giving me coy eyes. Am I triggering her maternal instincts? Or something like that?
The time is still 14:06 in the afternoon. I have time until my League of Villains assignment. I think I'll go for a walk with Eri, buy more clothes, sweets... Am I spoiling her? nah.
After an hour of walking around the commercial district, Eri got tired again. Looks like she doesn't have much stamina. Today was also a roller coaster of emotions to her. So I decide to go back to the lab.
"Eri... I have to tell you something." I start by carrying her in my arms along with several shopping bags.
When she looks at me I keep going. "You know I would never hurt you, right?" she nods "The place I live is very similar to the place that man used to hurt you. I'm telling you this so you don't get scared. Hospitals are similar too... they are used to heal people. When I come back I will have to leave because of an appointment. So when you're alone, don't be scared by anything you see. You are safe." I explain. She is not stupid. I will be direct to avoid misunderstandings in the future.
When she nods I say "Then let's go back"
...
Placing her on the makeshift bed, I wait until she sleeps before moving out of the room. I told her I won't lock the door. But there's nothing fun out here. And to be careful not to touch anything for her own safety.
I don't know where I'm going with my decision to take care of her. But I'm the only person in the world who can help her control this dangerous power quickly.
Returning to my Central Computer I resend a message to Kurogiri with the identity of Dr. Daruma letting him know that in less than an hour I will pass on the coordinates of the meeting. And it is for him to take all the remaining members of the League of Villains to that place.
Because he needs to impress the person who is going to meet them.
I'm already going ahead to find that person... Gigantomachia.
...
In the middle of a forested area I arrive by levitating to the location indicated on the device in my hands.
In my inner world there is a screen in the ghosts room where they can watch what I see and hear what I hear. No sharing of my senes,this is the most I'll do for them.
Gigantomachia is a loyal servant of All For One. A guy with a simple mind. He just follows his master's orders. He walks around naked, with the exception of a occasional coat and the radio he wears around his neck. And in that radio is the tracker that Dr. Daruma put on him.
He is one of the characters with the most quirks in the series. He is definitely in the TOP 10 strongest. Now my goal beyond the League of Villains quirks, is Gigantomachia himself.
...
Gigantomachia place.
Clicking the button on the device I used to locate Gigantomachia, I hear a noise coming from underground.
The device controls Gigantomachia's radio, and I pressed the command for All For One's voice comes out and tells Gigantomachia to wake up.
Floating in the air. I see a naked man over 3 meters tall, dark-brown hair and with several protuberances on his back getting out of the ground. The radio around his neck repeating "Machia, wake up" with the voice of All For One.
He looks around and spot me..
"YOU! YOU ARE THE ONE THAT KILL MASTER!"
Tch. Daruma told him, that complicates things. But it's still within my expectations.
In an instant he grows to 25 meters in height.
His head just a few meters below my feet. I know his height limit from the manga, so I'm already above his reach.
Surprising me, he jumps up and tries to grab me.
That's good agility, but jumping will only give me advantages, you know.
Before he reaches me I already move up. And I drop an Air Cannon towards him.
*boom*
He is crushed into the ground.
But he gets up, unharmed. I took it easy, but that's good resistance. It's no wonder he singled out virtually the entire community of heroes of Japan. They had to put him to sleep with drugs to have a chance.
Before he starts attacking me I speak.
"Gigantomachia, calm down. I killed All For One yes. But I am his successor." I say
....
*Hector Inner World*
Several tentacles of water form around the room where All For One and the One For All users stay.
They all move incredibly fast and slam into All For One's immobile form, making him wince in pain.
"What's Happening? Will Hector finally erase this guy?" Banjo asks. But nobody has an answer
.....
*Real World*
"This smell... You have the smell of Master." Gigantomachia says shocked.
"Yes. Think with me Gigantomachia... All For One wanted a worthy successor because of his injuries. I am the man who defeated him and stole his power. I talked to him, I am his successor now." I say grandly.
I'm using All For One's consciousness fragment within me to bring the villain's unique aura out, as if I'm wearing All For One. Gigantomachia proved to be quite sensitive to this in the manga. I will use All For One to earn Gigantomachia loyalty and then slowly pass that loyalty to me.
Gigantomachia will be my first subordinate.
How?
With the Background Customization card. When I came to this world I noticed differences in Gacha. The first was that Gacha in-seting changed from Marvel to BNHA. And the other was the possibility to use the Background Customization card in the opposite way.
I can recruit and transform characters from this world, from the world I travel. In Summon Cards.
The only requirement is that they accept. And the restriction is that I can't assimilate them, when they become cards. Just re-summon them.
The moment they transform into Summon Cards, the Gacha will imbue the loyalty that all summons cards have on the character I turned into a card.
But he will have to accept. The character needs to accept is a very big requirement. Only people who have no connection to the world they live in, or have a very different way of looking at life or are simpleton like Gigantomachia would accept having loyalty implanted in their minds like that.
If I win Gigantomachia's loyalty. I will take him to the world of Marvel, as a card. That wasn't an original goal, but I decided to take it further when I saw the possibility and awareness of All For One trapped in my inner world.
When I saw this new Background Customization Card feature, I thought of many useful characters. Like Mei Hatsume, inventor Genius, Toga Himiko, Twice, Mirko and even Doctor Daruma. But I finally decided only on Gigantomachia.
Hardly others would accept. And Dr. daruma is pure evil. When I come back, I'll be part of the Mutant(meta-human) community, and it's a heavy taboo to experiment on mutants. Dr. Daruma just wouldn't care. It would be more trouble than it's worth. That's why I only take research from him. I'm pretty smart too. I can replicate everything he ca do, I'll just have to sacrifice my own time.
"Tell me, Gigantomachia... Who do you think would be the perfect successor to All For One? The answer is someone who can defeat him in his own game. Someone who has already proven himself capable of overcoming and surpass him." I say and I can feel him focused on every word I say. Fascinated.
This is easier than I thought.
But I also need to put the last nail in the coffin.
"I was All For One's chosen in death" I say picking up a smartphone "Why don't you take a look at the successor he chose in life? And check for yourself which one of us is the most worthy" I say pressing the button and sending our coordinates to Kurogiri.
...
Unknown Place, Provisional Headquarters of the League of Villains
Kurogiri P.O.V.
*ping*
"Shigaraki Tomura, the doctor sent the coordinates. We can go retrieve Sensei's gift." I say to the entire League of Villains group.
I look at Shigaraki and see him scratching his neck. His behavior has become more erratic since Sensei's death by the new Villain Dis.
Shigaraki Tomura is impatiently taping his foot.
"So let's go, I don't want to wait any longer. Let's take what the doctor sent and finish this Dis" Shigaraki says getting up
Since the incident on Kamino he has been this way. And my advice to wait in this hideout previously prepared by All For One didn't help him.
He wants to do something.
Gathering the rest of the League of Villains I prepare to open the portal using my quirk. Everybody is here.
They consist of Dabi, Spinner, Himiko Toga, Mr. Compress, Magne and Twice. Some of them may be having second thoughts about joining the League, but many have nowhere else to go. And it's not like the league ended with the fall of All For One.
I still have in my possession several accounts, contacts and properties left to me by Sensei. And mostly, besides Shigaraki Tomura, All For One always had three sidekicks who weren't arrested after his fight with All Might 5 years ago.
Myself the Doctor is the only one we're going to get now... Gigantomachia. That man is a force of destruction, it will be useful in the future. But he is difficult to deal with. His heightened loyalty to All For One could be a problem now that it has fallen.
I can only hope that Shigaraki will live up to the expectations All For One had in him.
"Get ready" I say to the group opening a fog portal to the coordinates.
After looking first, I see Gigantomachia sitting in the middle of a forest. It has some craters and uprooted trees. I think it's normal if he got the news of Sensei's end.
After checking that Gigantomachia is alone I allow everyone to go through the portal as well.
But when everyone crosses and the portal closes. I feel something hit me from an impossibly close distance, where I didn't even notice it approaching...
And then darkness.
...
Hector P.O.V.
First thing to do is always take care of the teleporter. Holding the unconscious Kurogiri for his metal neck brace, I begin to steal his quirk.
Observing from above is the best. I can already imagine how this will end.
"KUROGIRI! YOU...!!" Shigaraki says when he spots me, he seems pretty annoyed to see me, I can't even imagine why... I ignore him and speak...
"Gigantomachiathese are the League of Villains. You can draw your own conclusions in any way you want. Chat, test them.. The choice is yours. Don't kill them for now..." I say already knowing this will end in a fight.
One of All For One's advice is to give your subordinates the "illusion of choice"you give them alternatives, but with only one good enough for them to choose from, the one you want them to choose.
Evil Empire management 101.
Am I evil for using your tactics? Maybe. But I can learn and adapt later. Everything is situational.
And as expected Gigantomachia gets up.
"SUCCESSOR! FIGHT ME!" He says growing just a little to 12 meters.
"Using me to brainwash Gigantomachia? I think I'm very proud of you, Hector-kun.." All For One says from my mind. Even in pain, he acts carefree.
"You teach me well, Sensei." I say sarcastically. "Aren't you worried that you'll have no more use for me after today?" I ask.
"Huh. This is something I'm already prepared for" he says with the same infuriating calm expression as always.
"The League has no chance." Banjo-san comments watching the fight.
And it's true. Nothing works in Gigantomachia. Not Dabi's Fire and not Tomura's Decay. Why does Decay not work? Is it because Gigantomachia is too dense? Because he doesn't give it time to take effect?
Tomura hasn't freed himself from his psychological problems, so he's pretty weak... He barely destroyed Eraserhead's elbow when he invaded U.A.
And to say that the others are outmatched is the understatment of the fucking century. They can do nothing...
"Oh... This is unexpected." In their desperate moment, a rock ended up hitting Twice, causing him to bleed.
It made him have the confirmation that he was the real one, the original Bubaigawara Jin, overcoming his trauma... Now he's creating clones in incredible numbers. But...
*boom*
Gigantomachia grows a little bigger and blows hard. Almost all clones turn to mud... But some don't. They're running away carrying the rest of the League of Villains.
This can not happen.
Moving very fast, I block their escape route, and touch my right hand to the fground. Ice starts to be generated in large quantities covering the clones being made. But many members escapes my attack due to the Twice clones throwing them out of the way while sacrificing themselves.
"Good choice. Blocking the escape route and you even froze the original Twice, preventing it from spawning any more of his clones. Impressive that you were able to tell him apart from all these." Shinomori-san, the user of [Danger sense] comments from my mind.
"The clones produced are based on the ideal image he has of himself... That is, they do not have the dirt and blood that he acquired during this time. During the fight." I answer.
"DON'T RUN, SUCCESSOR!!!" Gigantomachia explodes towards the reamining League members.
Meanwhile I approach the frozen Twice, I was lucky to catch Toga and Mr. Compress too. I steal the quirk of the three.
"Are you going to kill them?" Shimura-san asks from my mind.
"Today only Tomura dies." I simply answer.
"..."
"ALL FOR ONE!! WHYYYY? HE IS SO WEAK!! WHY IS HE SO WEAK??"
Turning my eyes to the battle I see that it is already over. The entire League of Villains is on the ground struggling to get up. And Gigantomachia is crying rivers over there.
"Calm down, Machia. Tomura has potential... All For One didn't make a mistake. But is a pity Tomura will never live up to it." I say floating to the giant man, already treating him like my subordinate.
"Master..." he says to me. Yes. Huhu
As I float closer to the fallen opponents Machia places his hand as a platform for me and I land on his palm.
"I understand you all have your own circumstances" I say looking at the villains. "But now I will take your quirks and throw you all to the heroes. Except you Tomura... You won't see tomorrow and your dream of destruction will never come true." I say...
Now I move closer to remove their quirks, but my spider-sense and [danger sense] flare. He's not defeated yet, apparently.
But I don't stop walking confidently towards him. I will not show uncertainty now.
When I get to less than 2 meters, very quickly Tomura lunges towards me with a outstretched hand. He's faster than before... Some type of Power-up bullshit?
But I don't even seem to move, when he finally catches up to me... He no longer has both arms to use his quirk.
"..."
Watching him fall to the ground, I cover his body with ice, just in case, and touch his head. Stealing [Decay] for good.
Now removing Jackal from my inventory, I prepare to give him his merciful death.
"HECTOR!" I hear Shimra-san calling my name. I'm not surprised by her intervention, I already have a pretty good idea of her personality. She just can't stay quiet seeing this happen. But she won't change my mind.
Taking my attention to my inner world I say. "Shigaraki Tomura will not be allowed to exist Shimura-san" I say.
Seeing her in my mind I wait to see what reason she'll give me to convince me. The least I can do is listen to her.
But she just drops down to a dogeza.
"!"
"HectorI know it's shameless for a worthless adult like me to ask for this. Just because he's my relative. My failures in the past now haunt the present. And it's up to people like you to solve them now." She says with her forehead touching the room floor in my mind.
"As a hero I cannot ask you to spare him. I understand that you are not wrong in deciding to kill him... But as his grandmother. I have to try to do this one thing for him. Please... I beg you. I am a failure as a mother and a hero. But I want to do this first good thing for Kotaro's family. Spare Kotaro's son. Spare Tenko. Please!" she says while in dogeza.
Damn... You can get really uncomfortable with someone bowing to you like that. Tch. What to do? While I'm shocked Yoich-san and En-san do a dogeza too.
"Please, Hector. Grant Nana-san's request." Yoichi says.
"..." Em-san just keeps silent in his dogeza.
Then Banjo-san and Shinomori-san prostrate themselves too.
"HAH. We can't stop you from doing it, but you can't stop us from begging either." Banjo-san speaks in his usual loud attitude.
"If I don't support my juniors in this, I will still be more of a failure as a former user of One For All" Shinomori-san says simply.
"You know that you all want Shigaraki Tomura spared just for your satisfaction, right? He will be imprisoned for the rest of his life." The second carrier speaks. "But if you want to give him a chance. I will believe him too." He ends up prostrating himself. The third carrier followed shortly thereafter.
One chance, huh? It reminds me of what my grandfather said... Ugh
All former users are in dogeza now. And when I feel that All For One is going to do some unwelcome commentary I shut his mouth with the mental chains.
"tch..There's a way." I say running my hand through my hair. Everyone pays attention to that. "A way that can satisfy all of us. I don't guarantee the future. And honestly it won't be much different from killing him. But will give him a chance. But remember... I won't be here forever. You may be leaving problems for this world. I hope you are aware of the risk." I say.
Everyone nods gravely.
"Whatever... I don't have any personal vendettas against him, and it won't be my problem..." I say while returning my attention to the real world.
The time in my Inner world and in the real world are different. Speed of thought is much faster. So during all this conversation, not a single moment has passed out here.
"Well, Shigaraki... Today is your Lucky day." I say putting Jackal in my inventory again, "You won't die today. I have other plans for you now." I strike his neck leaving him unconscious.
After that I take everyone's quirk from League of Villains. And using Kurogiri's newly acquired quirk [Warp Gate], I transport them to special rooms in Dr. Daruma's lab.
"Why not hand them over to the police?" Shimura-san asks, referring to the rest of the League.
"They can be used to locate me," I reply as I access the central computer to gather the places of certain people of interest. Now that I have a teleport quirk, things will be easier.
"The League knows Keywords like 'Doctor', 'Laboratory' and I don't know what Shigaraki and Kurogiri revealed to them before our meeting. This might allow them to deduce the Hospital I hide in." I say as I reopen a portal to where Gigantomachi is.
"When I killed the Doctor, I don't even take his quirk. Because he would age considerably. Giving clues to the Police Force" I says "But All For One has the original [Longevity] quirk anyway"
"If they find out where I am, it will derail my final plan. I need the lab. So they will stay with me until the day I leave." I continues
"And what would be this final plan of yours ? Can you talk to us?" Yoichi-san asks.
"Well... something like ..."
After I say what I will do before I leave, they are silent.
Returning to Gigantomachia's place I have to engrave my superiority in his mind. Hit the iron When is hot.
"Machia... Fight me..." I say stepping out of the portal.
He doesn't think long before he launches himself towards me.
....
Later in the Lab.
Humming the season 4 opening theme from BNHA anime: Polaris. I do small tests on my body samples.
Using the database of Dr. Daruma I discreetly copy some quirks from some civilians. At first glance they are useless, but to me they are priceless.
Mainly two. [Custom Hair] and [Crystal nails]. The first one changes the user's hair, nothing like manipulation, it just allows changing the color, hair style and a little of the length with a lot of effort. Why do I want this quirk? Because the hair becomes a synthetic fiber with this quirk. A synthetic fiber with no trace of my DNA. That's mean no clones of myself will be made so easily.
And [Crystal nails] has a similar principle. My nails change to become a Crystal-like substance. They don't even grow anymore if I don't want to. And this Crystal doesn't have any traces of my DNA either.
These two passive quirks will allow me to be a little more relaxed when I return to my Original World.
I took the opportunity and did a test on things I produce with my body. Like Mochi and things in my Titan form. Not that I intend to use my titan form in Marvel. It's too weak for the fights there. And I don't have descendants to use the other functions. I like it because of the ridiculous regeneration. But I already have [Super Regeneration] that all the nomus have. So I'm really hard to kill.
Result: The mochi is just mochi, The mud that is formed with Twice clones too by the way. And several other secretions. Nice.
Looking at myself in a mirror I start to take a test. Due to the use of some quirks, mainly the one taht need to use my eyes, it became a nuisance to cover my entire face. Then I cover just the nose down. A ninja half mask.
I also think it might be a good idea to reveal some information. False information in the case.
In my normal appearance I have blue eyes, curly black hair, not too long, my hair goes down to my eyebrows and I wear glasses.
Now in my new identity. My mask will cover the lower half of my face. My eyes will change color depending on the power I use. I think that's cool, multi-colored eyes. My hair will become straight and long to my shoulders. I will use the famous eren man bun. Showing my sharp eyebrows. Maybe I will even be more edgy and turn my hair white. Storm of the X-men has white hair too and makes a good contrast with my black suit.
The two versions are very different. I will even grow a little in the hero/villain version, becoming very different from "Hector". Looking more adult. If I don't reveal anything about myself, people will try to guess. But if I falsely reveal something, they will be led to lose my trail.
The difference between my two versions is like: Aizen Captain of the 5th division and Aizen Leader of Hueco Mundo. Similar but difficult to relate. Superman Psychology. The famous change of: "Hello, it's nice to finally meet you, sir." to "She calls me daddy too".
Satisfied with the results I go back to play with Eri. I only have a little over two weeks, but with Machia and Kurogiri's [Warp Gate] quirk, I'll be able to accelerate my plans.
If this world thought I was trouble, they are about to find out what happens when I really become proactive.
