Where the League Stands
After an incredibly long hiatus, WE ARE BACK! And i'm kicking things off with a pretty big bang, as well! Just as a warning, i'm dropping the filler arc I was working on which was U.A vs. Shiketsu but, to replace it, i'm bringing back what is debatably my most popular filler arc of this series. Some might even say it's better than the canon material and choose to see this rather as the canon content. That's right! The "What if...?" arc is back! Evil Cry is returning! And in case you're unaware, this arc takes the question "What if Cry(my OC) turned evil?" And just from a tiny change in events, it drastically altered the story. And now we're continuing with it! Enjoy!
-Late November-
"You're sick, Cry! And i'm going to save you! Because you are my friend! You would do better to join the Cleansers, rather than stay with the League. Next time.... you'll be perfect...."
These are all the last memories I can remember from that day. Shigaraki had "loaned" me to Overhaul and his Cleansers as an agreement for our partnership. A few days later, heroes invaded our hideout and stopped our operations.
Toga and Twice who were also part of the operation were able to make it out safely thanks to their quirks. I wasn't as lucky. After Overhaul received too much damage and was knocked out, I was left alone to fight a near unstoppable force.
"Izuku Midoriya...." I thought as I clenched my fists tightly every time I heard that name.
He was the one who caused me to fail. He beat me. He was the reason I was captured. I just want to kill him!
Because of my failure to kill Midoriya, Shigaraki had to punish me yet again. He wiped only a small part of my memory. He told me it was just a 20 minute gap but he left in the part where I lost to Midoriya. He says for me to use it as fuel.
However, my punishment did not end there. To make the message clear that he didn't want me failing anymore, Shigaraki did something more permanent. He used his quirk and decayed my left eye until it was completely gone. The pain was absolutely unbearable.
And so for the next month after the incident, I trained. I trained everything, all my quirks abilities, my senses, my reaction time, everything. I wanted to become unbeatable. So that the next time I encounter Midoriya, I will slaughter him.
And now we reach the present day. Myself and the League were currently hiding out in our new base location. Shigaraki decided we'd relocate after my incident in case any heroes tried to find me. Apparently, I made some huge waves during and after my fight with Midoriya.
We now took shelter at an abandoned digging site. It was well protected with very little spots for anyone to sneak up on us. And there was a small building there so we had at least some place to call home for the time being.
Every member of the league was currently just waiting, sitting around and wondering what exactly we were going to do next. Dabi was the only one whose really gone out to do anything. He says he goes out to try and recruit new members to our cause but he finds them too weak and murders them with his flame quirk. I really wish I could join his just to blow off steam but Shigaraki forbids me from leaving now without his absolute permission.
"How long are we gonna have to live like this?" Spinner asked as he was obviously fed up with our situation.
"You're joking, right? Until it's all over." Shigaraki said to him.
"If we had worked with the Cleansers, we'd be eating sushi right now. And... it's just.... to think that the group that put the whole country in disarray is now in this state... I can't bear to face all those who look up to us." Compress said but I didn't care for his opinion. If we had to bide our time then that's what we'll do.
"What the hell, everyone's here. Am I the only one earnestly tryin' to recruit new members?" Dabi asked as he returned from scouting.
"Aren't you just going around and burning everyone you meet to a crisp!? Have you ever brought back a single member!?" Twice asked him as I felt the same. Not once has Dabi come back with anyone else.
"They're all garbage. The streets are filled with trash, just living their lives without any kind of goals or ambitions." Dabi explained.
"Maybe your taste in people just sucks." Toga said as Dabi gave her a stare.
"You of all people can shut up." Dabi replied to her.
"Quiet, all of you." Shigaraki said as we gave him all our attention.
"It's been nearly a month since Kurogiri was captured...." He said.
That's right. Shortly after my incident, Kurogiri was found by some heroes and the police and he was captured before he could warp away. Now our main method of getting around has ceased. It's become much harder for us all to move, now.
"Before we lost him, he told me that my master, All for One had left me a "power." I asked him to go and retrieve this power that was left for us but unfortunately, he was lost to us. He ended up failing. And thanks to that, finding this "Doctor" guy he mentioned to me has hit a brick wall." Shigaraki explained as I became slightly interested.
"A "power" eh? Might be worth our time trying to find it. Beats sitting around this place, doing nothing all day." I said but Shigaraki quieted me.
"Tomura seems lonely without Kurogiri around. Hey, what kind of person is this doctor?" Toga asked.
"He was my master's physician, and a real cautious guy. I've only ever talked with him through the computer at our original hideout. He's the one who created and managed all the Noumu." Shigaraki explained.
"No matter how cautious he is, he could at least help us out a bit more, y'know! His patients beloved disciple is running in circles right now!" Compress said as I agreed with him.
"Hey... Where exactly are we heading?" Spinner asked as Shigaraki looked at him with confusion.
"I'm only here because I was inspired by Stain!" Spinner said.
"What?" Shigaraki questioned.
"I grew up in the country, surrounded by conservative values. My life was hell cause I was some kind of lizard person. I thought that it was only natural. My heart was filled with nothing but emptiness. But that evening I saw Stain's last stand on tv. He wanted to change the world! All by himself! I realized then that the world needed to change! I couldn't stand by and do nothing! That's why I came here!" Spinner explained as I just yawned at all him comments.
"What? So you weren't just some hollow cosplayer?" Dabi asked as Spinner shook his head.
"That's right! I have nothing else to my name! That's why I can't understand this rut we're in!" Spinner yelled as he grabbed onto the collar of Shigaraki's jacket.
"I thought you were going to open up a world of change! Answer me, Shigaraki! Where the hell are we heading towards!?" Spinner aggressively asked as Shigaraki gave him a blank stare.
"Like I said..." Shigaraki began to explain as the building we were in started to shake wildly.
"What the hell's going on!?" We all wondered as the ground beneath us started to crack.
"It must be an earthquake! We've got to get out of here!" Compress said as we all rushed out the door and watched as our hideout building was blown apart by something.
"Finally.... I found you.... I've been waiting for a signal this whole time. So you are the successor to All for One!?" A grizzled voice said to us as a figure emerged from the ground. It was like staring at a beast-man. He was huge, maybe 20-30 feet tall, rocky looking body and he was wearing a small radio around his neck.
"Is this the "power" you sought, Kurogiri!?" Shigaraki questioned as I saw him grow a twisted smile.
"What's the meaning of this? What the hell is that thing?" Dabi asked.
"This is the fighting power that my master left for us...." Shigaraki said as the large man put his radio on the ground. Static sounds could be heard from it.
"For All for One.... I devote my everything. Well then, successor.... Show me whether you are worthy or not!" The large man said as Shigaraki grew confused.
"What?" He questioned as the large man charged us. He picked up a nearby boulder and hurled it at Shigaraki.
"Master, move!" I yelled as I knocked Shigraki out of the way.
"You wanna fight our leader!? You gotta go through me first! PSI x300,000!" I declared as I pumped my right arm with strength. With me doing nothing but training for the last month, i'm now three times stronger than I was before.
I threw a punch and I shattered the boulder in a single shot.
"You are the one who can use multiple powers! You are like All for One! You are also one of the successors! Show me you are worthy!" The large man said as he leaped for me.
"No matter, i'll simply compress him and this whole thing will cease!" Mr. Compress said as he moved in front of me, holding his hand out, ready to compress the target.
"Out of my way!" The large man said as he pulled his arm back and struck Compress. He sent him flying into a rock pile and Compress did not move at all afterward.
"What a dumbass..." I thought as the large man stomped in front of me.
"Oh shit!" I yelled as the man raised one of his legs up and went to kick me. I met his foot with my PSI filled right arm but he was able to easily overpower me. He sent me sliding across the ground until I crashed into a rusty old bulldozer.
"No, my Cry!" Toga yelled as she ran over to me. She crouched down and licked the top of my head, consuming some blood that was dripping from the back of my head. Then, using her quirk, Toga transformed into me.
"Hey, ugly! I'm over here!" Toga yelled as the large man rushed for her.
"Show me you're worthy!" He shouted as Toga looked to Shigaraki.
"Tomura, do it now! Decay him!" She yelled as Shigaraki made his move. He chased down the large man and held out one of his hands.
"Worthy, eh? I am my master's student. I took over as leader! I am worthy of this "power!"" Shigaraki yelled as he placed his hand on the large man. But nothing was happening.
"You're weak! WEAK!" The large man said as he delivered a backhand strike to Shigaraki. He knocked him down and then went to pummel him into the ground. However, Shigaraki was able to quickly get back up and narrowly dodge the attacks.
"Twice! Get over here!" I yelled as he ran over to me.
"What is it, you lovable little shit!?" He asked me.
"Copy me! Create another of me so it can be used as a distraction! Then when the time's right, i'll take this bastard out!" I explained as Twice started measuring me with his special tape measure.
"You might only get one chance at this. That guy seems pretty strong if he overpowered your strength." Twice said as I just told him to shut up. Twice then finished the measurements and molded a copy of me.
"Hey, you bastard! You wanted to know if i'm worthy!? Then come and get me!" My copy yelled as it charged the large man/
"This one is weak! Maybe you are different! Show me!" The large man said, referring to Shigaraki. He then turned and charged my copy.
"Nice distraction, kid. Gives me a chance to end this thing." Dabi said as he started making blue flames on his arms.
"Now burn!" Dabi yelled as he launched a huge stream of flames at the man. The large man was engulfed by the flames but he simply rushed out of them, looking totally fine. There wasn't even smoke coming off his body.
"You idiot, you're not strong enough to hurt him. If my near max strength isn't enough, then we have to hit him with something much, much stronger." I said as I rose to my feet.
"Oh yeah, smart ass? Got something planned?" Dabi asked me as I turned around and placed my hands on the bulldozer.
"As a matter of fact, I do! PSI x350,000!" I yelled as I lifted the bulldozer of my head and turned to face the large man. He currently had a grip on my copy and I watched as he ripped it in two.
"A fake! Nothing but a fake! Where are you, successor!?" The large man yelled as I ran behind him, still holding the bulldozer.
"I'm right here! Lights out, asshole!!!" I roared as I smashed the bulldozer on top of the mans head. He didn't even flinch though and quickly reached behind him and grabbed my head. He pulled me in front of him and gripped my head hard.
"You're weak! Just like the other one, you're both weak! WEAK!" The man cried as he smashed my head down into the ground. The man let go of my head but as I tried to get back up, he began stomping on me. I could do nothing though. This enemy was too strong for any of us.
"Why.... can't you keep up!? Master, why!!?? They're too weak!!!" The large man roared as he all of a sudden started crying. Thankfully, the man also stopped stomping on me and turned his attention back to Shigaraki.
".....Ga.....ki...." I heard coming from the radio. Something was coming through on it.
"You seem like you're stuck..... Shigaraki...." A mans voice said on the radio.
"Doctor?" Shigaraki questioned as he dodged more of the large mans attacks.
"Did you say "doctor?" Could it be the same doctor we're looking for!?" Spinner asked Shigaraki.
"Are all your pals there with you? How've you all been doing?" The doctor asked us as I finally got back up to my feet.
"Fine, thanks.... But we're about to be mincemeat." Shiaraki explained as the large man smashed both of his hands against the ground, creating a small earthquake that effected us all. He might as well have destroyed the entire surface we were fighting on.
"I want to accept them! But, All for One, I..... I can't!" The man cried.
"Why not!?" Shigaraki asked him.
"I take it you've met Gigantomachia..." The doctor said, revealing the name of this hulking beast that was destroying us.
"He's a big supporter of All for One. He even used to be his bodyguard. He's one of the people All for One trusts the most. With all that endless stamina.... He was up to the task even without getting remodeled with multiple quirks." The doctor explained as I became heavily interested now.
"Multiple quirks? Does this Gigantomachia have multiple abilities like me?" I questioned as the doctor continued to speak.
"When All for One was weakened by All Might, he knew his defeat was inevitable, so he hid Gigantomachia away. Such careful planning! And all this happened just a few years after he picked you up, Shigaraki! No matter what might happen to him... He made sure.... His hopes and dreams would live on." The doctor explained as I saw Dabi reignite his arms.
"Call me crazy, but i'm having a hard time seeing this as some generous gift!" Dabi said as he readied himself to attack again.
"Nice insight, Dabi! I'd say you're right! Gigantomachia is loyal to a fault. So loyal that it hurts him to think that Shigaraki or the young boy don't measure up to his old master!" The doctor explained as I began making plasma on my arms.
"Then we'd better go all-out to show him we're worthy!" Dabi roared as he launched his attack at Gigantomachia.
"That won't be enough. For now.... Hm, let's see..." The doctor said as a "click" sound was heard on the radio. More static could be heard but a new voice began to speak.
"Machia..." An intimidating voice said. Gigantomachia heard the voice and dashed for the radio. Crouching over it and taking Dabi's attack to the back. He didn't seem phased by it at all though. Gigantomachia was now rubbing and purring against the radio, just from hearing this new persons voice.
"A recording of All for One's voice is just the thing to calm the big guy down." The doctor explained.
"We don't want this guy..." Shigaraki said.
"Oh? You don't, eh? It could be quite handy to have him in the future. Kurogiri has been babying you for too long. Open your eyes, boy!" The doctor said.
"That's harsh, doc..." Shigaraki replied.
"Fine, then give me a minute." The doctor said as the radio cut out.
"A minute? For what?" Toga questioned as she turned back to her normal self.
"I swear, if this old coot doesn't get to the point... Urp!" Twice said as he suddenly burped.
"Really, Jin? Burping? Gross.... Urp!" Toga said as she burped too. And right after, something began to happen, and not just to the two of them. Every single one of us except for Gigantomachia suddenly vomited up this black liquid from our mouths that soon engulfed our bodies.
"Let's have a real chat!" The doctor said as I blacked out.
-5 minutes later-
When I woke up, I had no idea where I was. Everyone else had just woken up as well and we were getting a good look around. It looked like we were in a lab. There were these creature things inside some giant test tubes. Some had wings, one had expanding muscle fibers, and others had metal coming from their bodies. My best guess was that these were Noumu.
"These are Noumu.... but unlike any we've seen before. Normally they're grey, but these ones are black." Dabi said as I looked at them again. He was right. These Noumu were black in colour.
"You can tell the difference!? Once again, you've got a pair of sharp eyes, Dabi! Yep! These little ones are nothing like the mid and low-level Noumu! They're high-end! Super Noumu that I could almost call masterpieces! Impressive, huh!? They're my finest work yet!" The doctor said in a much more clear voice. I looked to my left and down a dark corridor, there he was. The doctor, in the flesh.
"Doctor, I've been looking for you for a reason. I need you to reproduce some bullets I've got." Shigaraki said.
"That's right. I forgot Shigaraki stole the small case of quirk destroying bullets from Overhaul. So this was his plan for them, to get the doctor to replicate them." I thought as the doctor started to laugh.
"You've let your hair grow out, Shigaraki! How're your father and others doing!?" The doctor asked him as Shigaraki looked at all the hands covering his body.
"Fine." He responded.
"Our doctor, I presume? It's too dark to make anything out." Compress said as he took a step forward.
"STAY BACK!!!" The doctor hollered to us as we all froze.
"Sorry 'bout this, but I wouldn't recommend coming any closer. When we need to meet face-to-face, i'll come to you. And if you break this rule, i'll send you right back to that big old meat grinder." The doctor explained.
"You're the one who summoned us, you freaky geezer." Twice said as I agreed with him.
"Why are we here?" Dabi asked.
"I'd rather not give out my location, so I transported you all here instead. Besides Shigaraki, you're all new faces to me, I guess. We might've met somewhere before, though. Like Gigantomachia, i'm one of All for One's confidants. Daruma Ujiko is the name I give myself, for now." The doctor explained as I looked to Shigaraki. He was still looking at the hands covering his body for some reason.
"Anyhow, Shigaraki, I summoned you here out of respect for the boss. My life, my tech and my little ones here... I offered them all up to the great All for One. Up to now, you've been getting by with just scraps and leftovers of my work. Now, I've got nothing against you. I just need to judge if you're worthy of having all this. Cuz so far, you're nothing. Just a 20 year old kid palling around with the dregs of society. So, what do you have to show me, Tomura Shigaraki?" The doctor asked as Shigaraki let out a heavy sigh.
"I.... can't remember much from before I met you and my master..." Shigaraki said as he stared up at the ceiling.
"Ah, I know a lot about that." The doctor said.
"And yet... when I wear "everyone," my anger flows out. Ever since that day, I've been thinking day in, day out. What I remember so clearly is my master's embrace. Until then, I was nothing but an empty shell. It's strange.... When I wear "everyone," I feel sick to my stomach and want to throw up, but my heart becomes calm. How strange is that?" Shigaraki explained as I looked at all the hands on his body.
"It's clear that THEY are the "everyone," he is referring to. His former family...." I thought to myself as he continued.
"All that's left in me are a few fragments of those visions from the past. But even so, there's a gaping hole in my heart. My anger keeps pouring out of it! I feel a constant weight on my shoulders!" Shigaraki explained as I saw the doctor become interested in his speech.
"Even if we were to destroy this hero society.... Even if we became rulers of the underworld.... This hole in my heart won't disappear. What I really despise.... is "everything." Everything that breathes pisses me off. In that case, why don't I just destroy it all? "Everything," once and for all. You'll be able to see the most beautiful horizon. So lend me your strength, doctor! I'll show you everything from heaven to hell!" Shigaraki declared as the doctor burst out laughing.
"Sounds like something out of a child's pipe dream! I'm impressed you could say all that with a straight face! Alright, i'm in! I'll lend you my strength, Tomura Shigaraki! Let's see what you can do! After all, villains are those who bring pipe dreams to life!!" The doctor said which really surprised us all.
"Well, that was easy." I thought to myself.
"Tomura had some pretty disturbing things on his mind, huh. Hey, does that mean the things I like will get destroyed too?" Toga asked.
"The wishes of my comrades are separate. Do as you like." Shigaraki said as Toga cheered. However, the doctor started to laugh again.
"You're even more than I expected, Shigaraki!" The doctor roared.
"Bastard.... you were messing with me...." Shigaraki said.
"I wanted to see how much you've grown with my own two eyes. I had planned to cooperate from the start. These little guys here are part of that." The doctor said, referring to the high-end Noumu.
"And what's more... I've been preparing some "research" for you. However, I won't hand it over just yet! You guys are weak! That's a fact! I'll have you guys attain at least the bare minimum. Unlike me, that thing isn't so naive as to accept you so easily from the bottom of its heart. Gigantomachia. Make him submit to you. Only then will I give you everything. If you want it, grab it with your own two hands." The doctor explained as a feeling of adrenaline rushed through me.
"Ah, I see. That was a hell of a long tutorial." Shigaraki said as Dabi sighed.
"I ain't helping. You can do as you like, leader." Dabi said.
"You're just salty because your flames don't work on it." Toga said as Dabi glared back at her.
"Shut up, crazy girl. I'm on the verge of finding some good members, so i'd like to spend more time on that. I don't give a shit about the leaders innermost thoughts. I move on my own accord, got it?" Dabi said as Shigaraki turned his head to look at him.
"I look forward to seeing who you bring back, then." He said to Dabi.
"In that case, I want Dabi to come help me test out these high-ends! His tastes! His aesthetic sense! They're perfect! Such a strong connection!" The doctor said as Dabi just looked unimpressed.
"Were you even listening?" Dabi asked him.
"Well then, hurry up. Send us back there. I'm suddenly feeling pretty motivated." Shigaraki said as a long robotic arm suddenly appeared from the ceiling. It was holding a box in front of us.
"From here on out, use these to contact me!" The doctor said as we took earpieces that were in the box.
"Now then, time to send you back. Oh, john..." The doctor said as a tiny Noumu appeared to his right. It jumped into his lap and it started spewing that same black liquid from its mouth.
"Send them to Gigantomachia!" The doctor commanded as the black liquid started coming out of all our mouths again. It engulfed us and I blacked out, yet again.
-2 Minutes later-
When I awoke, we were all back at our hideout location. Gigantomachia was still crouching over the radio.
"The future king has returned." Shigaraki said as he caught Gigantomachia's attention. He turned to look at all of us.
"A king... is one... who commands respect. Someone who is strong. Are you strong? Show me!!" Gigantomachia yelled as he stood up and charged us.
"Arsenal, you come here. He thinks you may be worthy just like myself, so, as long as he sees one of us as worthy, then this whole thing will be a success. We will be his opponents." Shigaraki said to me as I walked up to his side.
"Very well. Now, let's kick this bastards ass! We'll make him submit to us!!" I said, cracking my knuckles as we went into our seemingly impossible battle against Gigantomachia.
The league finally had a goal set. Make Gigantomachia submit and gain the doctor's power. If we can do that, then we can get one step closer to achieving our dream.
