Invasion
I'm actually surprised at how long that last chapter ended up being. I had to add in some extra details during Overhaul and Shigaraki's discussions because parts were cut out of the manga. Hopefully they ended up alright and you enjoy them. Also, we're on freakin' chapter 80! I don't know how I've made it this far. I don't even like writing that much but somehow, I've made it so far. We're past 500 reads as well, so if you're reading this, I give you one hell of a huge hug and a big thanks as well. Without you, this never would've happened. Please leave a comment down below, i'll reply to any questions or comments you leave, I promise. Enjoy!
-Time Skip: 2 Days-
It was still hard to believe that Shigaraki would allow Overhaul to use us for his own goals. He was never one to "share" and seeing him do this somewhat shattered his image. But, it also showed that he had heart towards us, that he actually cared. And if he feels this is best, then this is what we'll do. And now, myself, Toga and Twice are all headed to the Eightfold Cleansers headquarters. We received a call earlier today that they're finally ready to take us in. I have no idea what they'll be making us do while we're there. My only guess is helping in the distribution of their new drug. And maybe, guarding this girl Overhaul was speaking of, the one who made all this possible. I guess, we'll find out when we get there. And if I get fed up with how things go, i'll take things into my own hands and kill the leader. I'm sure that'll please Shigaraki.
-Time Skip: 1 hour-
We had arrived at the Cleansers base and we were being lead through the long tunnels by Chronostasis. He took us to the same room he had taken me and Shigaraki to before. Inside, we came face to face with Overhaul, Mimic, and all of the other high ranking henchmen of the organization. "So nice of you to join us. Please, make yourself at home." Overhaul said to us, gesturing us to sit down on a couch. "Tomura ordered me, so I was forced to come here. I'm Toga." She said with a gloomy tone. "It's been a while, you damn bird bastard! I'm never gonna forgive you! So, it's a pleasure working with you!" Twice said as he started to scratch at his mask. "I don't think I need to introduce myself. Especially since you seemed to know me when we first met in the warehouse. So let's just get this over with." I said as Overhaul nodded his head. Chronostasis walked over to his side and said "My apologies for being late, boss. We took the longest route here as an added precaution." "That's much appreciated." Overhaul said as another one of his men, the largest, walked up to us and said "League of villains, huh? Cool, let's duke it out!" "I'll murder you." Twice said to him. Toga looked uninterested and I felt the same. Overhaul then looked back over to all three of us and said "I'm sorry about the incident with Magne. I didn't want to kill him, either. I understand the hostility that you feel towards me, but now that we've entered into a partnership, I would like you to assist in the execution of our plan." Twice then got pissed off, clenching a fist and saying "It's not him. It's her! Bastard!(Yes, Magne is actually sexually identified a female) You just fucking glossed over her appearance that first time too!" But as fast as he got pissed off, twice suddenly calmed down and said "So, what should we do?" Other members of the Cleansers looked at him like he was crazy, which, they were pretty much correct.
"Like anyone else in the group, you just have to follow our orders. First off, in order to facilitate that, please tell us the details of your quirks. I want us to exchange information so that if you're needed, it'll be easier to coordinate with you." Overhaul said but we were all a little hesitant to respond. "If it's only when we're needed, then i'll tell you when it's needed. Because I still don't really like you guys." Toga said which actually made a lot of sense. Mimic took this a step too far and started to yell at us, saying "Just answer the damn question! Don't fuck with the Yakuza, assholes!" "Aahhh! This is no good! It was pointless after all! We'll never be Yakuza! So it's decided! This just grosses me out, so I ain't saying a thing!" Twice said as he was shaking his head. But like before, he quickly made a 180 and said "I can take anything and copy it! All I need is a very precise "image!" If I don't have a complete image, we'll just be copying incomplete trash! If it's a person, I need the measurements for their height, chest, foot size, and as much other data as possible! Look carefully. Measure carefully. Then, I can make that first object into two! The sole difference between the copy and the original is their stamina. It varies from thing to thing, but when a certain amount of damage accumulates, it dissolves. The most I can copy at once is two things! The second one's stamina will be even lower than the first! And lastly, for personal reasons, I cannot make copies of myself!" The whole room went silent, myself and Toga looking at Twice like he was stupid. "What the!? No... why!? This isn't like the normal me at all!" Twice said as he was grabbing his head. "You made me look stupid, Twice." Toga said to him as she then faced Overhaul. "When I drink someone's blood, I can become that person. That blood becomes energy, so the amount of time I can stay transformed is proportionate to the amount of blood I take. One cup of blood equates to about a full day. And if I drink multiple people's blood in one go, I can transform into any of those people. I can also include clothing into my transformations. The new clothes overlap the ones i'm already wearing, which means I end up being naked so that's kinda embarrassing." She explained as Overhaul nodded and then looked to me. "And what about you? Care to explain your quirk?" He asked me. "You seem to know about me, so I don't see any reason for me to explain myself." I said as he nodded again. "It's true I know who you are, but I'm not fully aware of your abilities. If you would please, give us information about yourself. It's all a part of the plan to build trust with each other." He said as I let out a sigh and began my explanation. I said "My quirk is called "Unstable." It allows me to use several different abilities but not all at once. Currently, I can use up to two at once. My first ability is dragon wings. It's pretty self-explanatory. Next is "Psi" which allows me to increase the strength of my muscles by certain amounts of psi. I can go up to 220,000 but going near my max can cause backlash on myself. Next is plasma, which allows me to wither fire plasma shots, or encase my limbs in plasma for a short time. I also can make light clones from reflections or make myself invisible. Next, I can store kinetic energy that I've taken in and release it all at once. 6th is overdrive. I can temporarily increase my own speed and strength for about 1 minute. Doing this causes me to get very exhausted though. 7th is futuresight. I can see seven seconds into the future, but if I use this ability for more than five seconds, I could go blind. I also have super hearing. Another self-explanatory one. And lastly, I have an ability called "face morph" where I can change my face to look like anyone for 2 hours. I just need to see an image of the person and I can change into them. Are you happy now? Did you get what you needed?" "That'll do. Thank you, all of you." Overhaul said to us as another member, who was wearing a black cloak and hat, stood behind Overhaul and asked us, "Tell us one more thing. Did Shigaraki tell you of any plans to betray us?" Both Twice and Toga shook their heads, and I was the only person to really respond, saying "If he did, then you'd already be dead."
Overhaul then got up from the couch he was sitting on and said "...Then okay. From now on, you'll be treated as members of the cleansers. However, I can't just let you run around freely when you're wanted by the police, either. I ask you all to stay in this underground living space until you receive your orders. You'll each get your own rooms, so make yourselves comfortable." Overhaul said as he started to walk away. "So what!? We're under house arrest!?" Twice asked. You get to be free the moment you earn a little bit more of my trust. Whether or not that happens is up to you." Overhaul said as he stopped to look at us. He then pointed to me and said "You. Come with me. I'll make use of you now." I did as he told me and walked over to him. We then exited the room, leaving Twice and Toga behind. "And why exactly do you want me and not one of the others?" I asked as Overhaul let out a faint chuckle. "Mimic is chief of staff here, and Chronostasis is my personal assistant and bodyguard. However, they'll both be working alongside your friends. And seeing as you're the most cooperative, and probably smartest and understandable of the three of you, I figured you were my best choice. For now, you'll be my bodyguard. Don't worry, i'll treat you with respect. And as long as you do what I say, you'll do fine here, as part of the Eightfold Cleansers." Overhaul said as we continued to walk down the long hallways.
-Time Skip: 1 Day-
I was at Overahul's side, walking with him down the hallways. He seemed to trust me more than either Toga or Twice so he treated me better than them. I was given a room with a freshly cleaned bed, clean sink and a bathtub. It actually felt nice to work for him, almost making me want to work for him instead of Shigaraki. But I couldn't do that. I just couldn't turn my back to the league after everything we've been through. "Tell me, Arsenal. What made you want to join the league of villains?" Overhaul asked me. "From what I can remember, Shigaraki and some of the other members found me. They took me in and showed me the true horrors of the hero society. And ever since then, I've been one of them, doing my job, hoping that one day we bring order to this world." I explain as Overhaul nodded. But before we continued the conversation, a voice started to be heard from a sound system. "Yakuza types are the types who've been living in the shadows, all this time. When they see heroes, or coppers, they huddle together into a ball like you wouldn't expect." The voice said as Overhaul reached up to his ear. He was wearing an earpiece and he said "They're here. Initiate the attack. Stall for as long as you can." And shortly after he said that, the sound system cut out and loud noises could be heard from outside. "What exactly is going on out there?" I asked. "I was tipped off that there would be a possible attack on our headquarters by heroes and police. So we've prepared to defend ourselves. For now, you and I don't have to worry about a thing. We're just going to meet Chronostasis with the "package."" Overhaul said as I complied and continued to follow him.
After a few minutes of walking, we met Chronostasis at the entrance to a room. He was carrying someone in his arms. It was a little girl, maybe seven or eight years old. She had bright red eyes and long white hair. And she also had a horn protruding from her head.
I took a good look at her and she seemed scared by my appearance. "So this is the person who's made all this possible. I'm guessing we have to protect her and get her out of here safely?" I asked. "That is the goal. But you and I are going to leave here safely as well." Overhaul said as we all started to head to the nearest escape exit. On the way though, we passed by Toga and Twice who were just waiting for orders. "If you haven't received orders from Mimic yet, go assist him. I'm sure he's busy holding off whatever heroes are here." Overhaul said as both Toga and Twice ran down the hall to find Mimic.
While continuing to walk down the long, dark hallways, we all suddenly came to a stop when an unfamiliar voice spoke out to us. "Sorry to bother you, but I guess I have to ask after all. May I have a few words with you?" The voice said as we all turned. Standing behind us was a teenage boy, definitely older than me. He had blond hair, blue eyes, and he wore a hero costume that was yellow, white, and blue with the number 1,000,000 on it. "It's him..." Overhaul said as he gave a glare to this person. And by the look of this new person's face, he wasn't going to let us leave without a fight.
