(The next day)
After leaving leaving the task of finding Stain and Dabi to Giran, I returned to my base.
And why do I need Stain and Dabi?
I didn't, not really. I could easily create an army by infecting random people, villains and heroes.
But I didn't want to do that, it would be too easy and boring.
Just an army of countless symbiotes taking over the world, and with no weakness to speak of and the ability to regenerate....
Yeah that sounded really boring.....maybe I overdid my wishes, I could do so many things. And many of those things were absolutely broken.
Sure I could not change the weather by just punching right now, but I couldn't be killed either.
I had so many pieces of myself hidden that if all of them were not destroyed at the same time, I was effectively immortal.
And they would need some serious firepower for that to even be possible. If they could even find them all, because that number was steadily increasing even at this very moment.
How was I doing it and how was it increasing?
Well...all I had to do was attach a piece of myself to a random person, which was very easy. Just get on a train when people are going to work or coming home from work....no one even had the time to notice....or even care.
"Not like they could anyway, my camouflage took care of that completely."
And from there, that piece of myself grew in that person before splitting and attaching itself to another person. Repeat numerous times.
They don't have a will of their own however, they were all still me.
You could say this was my 'main' body for the moment. If I wanted to I could switch to any of the others.
So yeah....at this point I could take over the world by the end of the year if I really wanted to because I was everywhere.
Like a plague that no one even knew about I was steadily growing. They couldn't even discover me using any means either.
"....maybe I should have chosen something tamer than this, my abilities are too broken for this particular world." I said as I relaxed in my beanbag, while also snacking on a chocolate bar.
"If this was the DC universe or something, I wouldn't feel safe at all. But this is pretty easy as far as world domination go." I continued.
But that didn't mean I couldn't enjoy myself. I could just help some of my personal favourite characters.
Dabi was one of those personal favourites, I wanted to help him carry out his revenge without all that family and it's not too late crap getting in the way.
It literally took a family of fire and ice quirk users and several others to defeat what was a flaming corpse at that point.
I respected the heck out of him too, that guy was operating on nothing but hatred and spite for Endeavour.
And yeah he got a 'good' ending, but that ending felt wrong to me.
I know that all he wanted was some acknowledgement and love from his father and to prove that he could be a hero despite his weakness, and he did get that acknowledgement at the end but....come on..
It came wayyy too late, all the damage had already been done.
Sure he began to open up at the end but he was a literal corpse, contained and kept alive using god knows what. What other choice did he have.
No, what I wanted from him in this world was glorious revenge. A real fucking revenge that doesn't get effected by the shounen cliches.
Would be even accept my help? I don't know, but I had some ideas.
And as for Stain?
"Well I did give that whole 'change this world' speech to Giran." I muttered absent mindedly.
He was an important piece, because if instead of the League of Villains, he allied himself with me.
Some reliable allies were sure to seek us out instead of the League.
That was the reason I gave that speech to Giran, but also because of the whole situation with his niece. That speech would come in handy when he encountered Stain and Dabi.
But that didn't mean what I told him was complete bullshit, I did want to become the ultimate symbol of evil in this world.
Because wouldn't it be fun? Fighting both the forces of All for One and the heroes at the same time?
My forces didn't even need to be that many or strong, I could just make them stronger by giving them some of my pieces.
Can you imagine a regenerating Dabi that didn't get burnt by his own flames? It would be glorious!
"Ahhhhhh!...Just thinking about that is making my mouth water..." I said as I wiped my mouth.
"On a different note, I have been using the form of this woman for too long.." I mused, looking down at myself.
Not counting the whole thing with the two losers and the meeting with Giran where I used my main form, I had been using this form for a while now. Mainly because I couldn't be bothered to change into another.
My main form was all I cared about anyway. All other forms were merely disguises that helped me blend in and interact with normal people.
"Oh no wait...the building and license are registered to this form...hmmm...guess I'm miss Hana the landlady for now."
As I was abouth to get up and get another chocolate bar, an interesting thing caught my attention.
One of the people I had infected had turned out to be a villain. An important one as it turned out, because he was currently talking about buying some 'Trigger' and finally defeating the opposing gang to finally take over the Hosu area.
"Well how about that!hahahhaha, tonight's going to be fun, I can't wait." I exclaimed, "I really hope someone there would be a good challenge, I always wanted to bust a drug deal!"
Unfortunately said drug deal was to take place at 10:30...P.M....it was currently noon...
"Fuuuuuccccccckkkkkk!!"
************************************************
(Unspecified Building, District 3, Hosu) (10:00 P.M.)
In one of rooms inside the basement of an inconspicuous tailoring shop, a few shady individuals were gathering to make an even shadier deal.
But calling it a basement was downplaying the scale and size of the underground structure.
Consisting of five floors, each with different rooms with different purposes it could be considered an underground fortress. It stretches underground covering a third of the entire block.
It was occupied by the gang known as the Mōko, a gang consisting of mutant type quirk users that shared animal characteristics.
They were a somewhat infamous gang in the underworld but had the brains to act discretely, which let them remain relatively unknown to the general public.
With the police and heroes only having limited information on them and with no real evidence to link their activities and crimes, they remained safe from large scale raids and investigations.
But the real reason for their continued existence and possession of such a base was due to their backing.
They were backed by the founder and CEO of H&S group, a company that dealt with the manufacturing and distribution of hormone balancers and regulators.
Their products made it easier for people with animal like quirks to live life easier as they helped regulate and lessen the effects of these quirks.
The CEO, Akane Tsubaki was a cold hearted buisness woman who had inherited the company from her father. It used to be a small time company before she made it what it was today.
One of the reasons for this rise was the Mōko, she and the leader of the gang made a pact of mutual cooperation when both of the organisations were in their early phases.
The Mōko took care of trouble makers, competitors, evidence and blackmail while she provided resources and funds to the gang. It was a relationship of mutual benefit.
The fact that the Mōko were so effective and left little evidence of their involvement meant less evidence to even connect the two organisations.
The current deal about to take place was also made possible due to the connections of the H&S group. Thought only the leaders were aware of that.
"Boss, are you sure they will come? What if they go back on their words? I know I'm overstepping but the Yakuza are not what they used to be, what if they betray us?"
A lizard like person said to the person sitting on a chair beside him.
"Don't worry about it, thought I am not that familiar with the new leader, I was pretty close to the old one. If they are even half of what they were during his rule, then they won't betray us."
"Besides, there is a reason we agreed to make this deal here. We agreed upon continued cooperation with the Yakuza, if they can continue to supply us with trigger then there won't be anyone left in Tokyo who can oppose us."
The boss, a man with a quirk that made him have the appearance and characteristics of a tiger said calming the worries of his subordinate.
Time passed as they continued their conversation. Soon it was time for the deal to commence.
And right on time the doors of the room opened.
And in walked a person who they could only assume was part of the Yakuza.
The man tall, he was muscular with shadowed eyes and a bald head.
He wore a dark dress shirt with the top few buttons undone, and plain pants with black dress shoes.
The most eye catching thing was the mask he wore. It was a white mask that covered his mouth, it looked custom made and looked like it had various functions.
The man carried with him a black suitcase that no doubt contained the merchandise.
He walked straight towards them keeping his face serious and radiating a serious presence.
When he reached them, he placed the suitcase on the table before taking a seat.
"Was the ride here to your liking?"
"It was"
"Not much of a talker huh, shall we introduce ourselves then?"
"Very well...My name is Yu Hojo, and as this deal signifies the start of cooperation between the Shie Hassaikai and the Mōko, the young master has sent me to personally carry out this deal."
"The Shie Hassaikai...is that what you call yourselves now?.... I guess the age of the Yakuza is really over now..."
"You may call me Goro, I'm the leader of this organisation. But tell me? Does your leader not consider this important enough to attend himself?"
"He does not often leave the compound as he is busy making the merchandise, all deals are made by executives...as i said before, It is because he considers this important that he has personally sent me."
"Is that so? At least that has remained the same hahahaha...so, is this the merchandise?"
"Correct, twenty vials of the purest quality Trigger. Each one of these can be diluted to make ten doses that boost the quirk of the user threefold for fifteen minutes."
"Very impressive...and the side effects?"
"Depending on their tolerance, temporary loss of their quirk at the minimum....complete loss of sanity at the maximum."
"Hmmmm, well nothing comes for free in this world...may I take a look?"
"Of course"
Yu stood up from his seat and began opening the suitcase, a few seconds later, the suitcase opened and the contents were now visible for all to see.
There were twenty vials, each containing deep red liquid.
" *whistle* Now that is a sight to behold, but these do not look like the standard asian versions...are thses American?"
"Not exactly, they are new versions that our organization has been developing for a while now. They have stronger effects than the asian versions in exchange for a shorter duration."
"Lovely, now then! Shall we close this deal?"
"We certainly shall."
Goro then snapped his fingers and another grunt immediately came in, holding a suitcase of their own.
The grunt then placed the suitcase before Goro before taking a bow and exiting the room as quickly as he came.
Goro simply opened the suitcase and presented the contents to Yu.
"1 billion yen, as promised. And an additional 3 billion yen for continuous supply of the lesser products."
Yu looked at the bills, examining them before nodding his head.
The two then closed their respective suitcases before exchanging them.
Goro then addressed the grunt beside him.
"Inform the stealth unit, make sure our quest returns safely and as quietly as possible."
"Yess boss!"
Just as the grunt was about to leave, the atmosphere in the room changed.
And a voice that belonged to none of the occupants in the room spoke.
"I'm afraid that won't be possible gentlecats and bald men... I really want to taste those vials you see, not to mention slaughtering an entire base of gangsters."
And before any of them react, the grunt who was the closest to the door suddenly had his entire head bitten off by something invisible.
And the identity of that something was quickly revealed as it revealed itself.
"Aaahhh....a real brain just hits different... don't you agree you two?"
The two only had a few seconds to react before the fighting began.
What followed couldn't even be called a fight, it was a slaughter, a bloodbath, it was absolute..carnage..
