"Not many can do the right thing when it counts"
-Kuroh Yatogami
....
"NOO! You have to use your whole body to swing. Not just the arms. Gotta go with an IAARGH!" Banjo-san screams in my ear as I practice with the [Black Whip] among the trees.
Now I'm really like Spider-Man.
Even though I said I would be more proactive, I didn't move much. I taught Eri about [Rewind], worked in the lab, took classes with my ghosts teachers, and trained with Machia.
Machia is a good spar partner. The percentage of my cards doesn't increase much after 50%, my goal of completing them before coming back looks a little distant now.
"You have an insane amount of powers, but you can't ignore the basics. To use all that power well, your body must be in top condition" Shinomori-san says to me.
"But you have excellent physical conditioning and you are a genius. As long as you don't grow arrogant and never stop practicing. I don't see any problems in the future that you will have controlling your powers" En-san tells me.
...
"Did you know, that if you have to catch someone falling instead of flying towards that person directly, it's better to make a curve trajectory?" Shimura-san tells me about heroics.
"The Brachistochrone Curve?" I ask
"Exactly. You can not only descend faster, but allow you to catch with less damage to the person's physical integrity. If you take it from below and adjust your speed." She completes.
"I see," I say with my chin between my fingers. "It's a lot to think about and take into account during these situations with so little time."
"And that's why you need practice!" Banjo-san tells me "With practice and experience your body will move better before you even think. You think fast it's true... But you think too much. Sometimes you have to trust your instincts and reflexes! If not, you will waste precious time" he adds.
"The more powers you have the more at the moment of action indecision can take over you" Shimura-san says "A truck is heading towards a child. What do you do? Take the child? Stop the truck? How? teleport? telekinesis? Shield? Diverts the truck trajectory with Earth manipulation? With ice? Having a power and knowing when to use it and when not to use it will be very important to you, Hector." She completes.
Absorbing her advice I start to think. It's true, the number of power and abilities I will have in the future will be ridiculous and if I can't use them it's a waste...
"You can keep a certain group of powers and give the others to your subordinates" All for one speaks to my mind, as he is the only one with no freedom to materialize in my view in the real world. "Many powers will be similar. Choosing the strongest or the most compatible with you is important too. Don't be stingy and empower trusted subordinates too." He completes.
Everything they say makes sense. I'm glad I didn't delete them without giving them a chance. This trip is really worth it.
It's hard to make a copy of a power that I already have. is like having to grow a seed from the scratch. I don't have infinite resources to replicate powers.
....
Two days later, same routine
"That sword doesn't look very practical" En-san comments beside me as I hold the Sword of Actuation, but in its Sword of Thorns form.
His comment is because the grip is full of spikes.
"It's not a sword that just anyone can use." I say.
One of the advantages of coming to this world is that I have more freedom to test my assets. The Sword of Actuation was in card format until now, because I was afraid to use it and some demon or eldritch abomination seize the chance and invade my world. Like Femto took advantage of the slash of Skull Knight in Berserk.
This sword has two forms. The first is much more normal. The Sword of Thorns, following the name, is a longsword with the theme of thorns. The sword usually wielded by the Skull Knight in Berserk. Bathed countless times in the blood of apostles, it became a magic sword. Or was it forged like that. Hard to say, little is known about the Skull Knight Background.
And in its second form the Sword of Actuation, the handle changes like thorny rosebush branches. And the blade is made up of Beheliths that give an organic feel to the blade, full of eyes, noses and mouths that constantly move as if the blade were alive. It has a light blue glow.
Making the sword transform in my hand. I prepare to test it skills.
"Yikes! What is this sword? So creepy!" Shimura-san says disgusted.
But the reaction of others...
"This sword... This sword... So cool!" Banjo-san says.
"Indeed. What cool sword." En-san adds nodding his head.
I wield the sword and make a dimensional fissure appear, stepping on it I appear 5 meters away.
"Wow! Did it cut space?! Damn, best sword ever." Banjo-san continues.
All of One For All users are around me as I tested the sword.
"Does it do more things?" Yoichi-san asks, strangely excited.
"It was made to harm magical beings and beings in their astral forms. Which normal attacks would not affect." I say.
"Magic? Like Wingardium Leviosa magic?" Banjo-san speaks.
"More like Lord of the Rings magic with demonism" I reply.
Wait. There's Harry Potter and Star Wars in this world, right? I remember class 1-B made a play as a parody.
"Check this" I say taking two lightsabers out of my inventory.
"Ooh! Lightsabers"
"Wow. So cool."
"Nice. Quick, cut that tree!"
Me and all the BOIS love lightsabers.
"Can't you do something similar with fire quirks? Do you even need this thing?" Shimura-san speaks.
"..."
"...Did she really say that?"
This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com
"Blasphemy"
"Tch"
"Women... They don't understand."
Even the second and third users seem to agree.
"Lightsaber are a man romance and dream, Shimuraa!!" banjo screams.
"Ignore her. Now cut that rock." En-san says.
"No. Make the two clash with each other"
"Can you use force lightning?" Wait. This one is All For One talking?
"Throw and pull back, like a Jedi."
In the corner of my eye I can see Shimura-san with his hand over her face muttering something like "Boys and their toys"
.....
The next day.
"You've been training here every day. This seems a little different from your cautious personality, Hector-Kun." Shinomori-san talks to me.
With the days will stay together, they know me better and I know them better too, I can say that my relationship with all of them is very good. Even with All For One. Although he is still in prison. I don't let my guard down around the bastard. But he has a certain evil charisma, which makes you like him. Maybe because he never did anything to me directly, so I don't hate his guts like the One For All users.
"I'm trying to catch a big fish, Shinomori-san" I say mysteriously.
Before he can ask any more. It happens. A drone approaches my position carrying a smartphone. When it is close enough the smartphone starts ringing.
heh. It's about damn time, Meta Liberation Army.
...
3rd person P.O.V.
Meta Liberation Army
"Did you find him Sketch?" Asks a man to another man on the top floor of a tall building.
Rikiya, or Re-destro is a tall, odd-looking, middle-aged man with a prominently long, pointed nose and obtruding chin, as well as small, dark eyes. He has short, orange-brown hair, set noticeably far up his forehead, a widow's peak pointing downwards in the center, and he wears it swept back around his head. He doesn't have any visible eyebrows, and also possesses two dark moles on the left of his forehead.
The man he talks to is Tomoyasu Chikazoku, or Sketch, a tall and lanky man with shiny black hair that reaches his waist, worn down with a neat fringe hanging over his eyes.
"Yeaa. We located him by satellite. He looks like he's training in the woods 30 miles from here. He's making a lot of noise and changes in scenery, strange for someone who's hiding." Sketch responds.
"It's because he has nothing to fear, he's arrogant. He is individually the strongest man on the planet." Re-destro answers. "Be in plain sight sometimes is the same of hiding, no ones would think in looking for him in a place so exposed like that."
"True. The drone is approaching. He will answer." Sketch speaks. And as expected a voice answers the other end's call.
*Click*
"Moshi Moshi Dis here. Your are calling a extremely dangerous supervillain. If you want your quirk removed press 1. If you want to submit to me press 2. If you want to die press 3" an arrogant voice speaks.
"Dis... So nice to be able to talk to you." Re-destro says calmly.
"And who would be the idiot?"
Ignoring the offenses Re-destro responds.
"We are the Meta Liberation Army. We would like to invite you to our headquarters for a chat."
"Ah. The Meta Liberation Army? I never heard of it. Anyway, I don't want to buy encyclopedias. Bye" *click*
He hung up.
Sketch can see a black color spreading across Re-destro's forehead, proof that he is angry and his quirk is manifesting.
Re-destro feigning calm calls again.
*click*
"Moshi Moshi. Keisatsu desu ka? Officer, there's a stalker calling me all the time. Please help me."
"Dis you wouldn't want your location disclosed to the heroes, would you? I'm sure even you would be inconvenient to be surrounded by heroes." Re-destro speaks through gritted teeth.
"Ohoh... are you threatening me, dear?"
"Just stating a fact."
"I don't advise starting a fight with me, Meta Liberation Army... Are you sure you want to proceed with that plan of yours?"
"Absolutely."
"Huh. Fine. Let's make a bet. Say the location and time. Me and mine VS. You and your group. If I win, I will take your quirks, your lives, your money... Be prepared to forfeit everything to me." Dis speaks ominously,
"And if we win?" Re-destro asks smiling.
"I'll give you what you really want... All for One." Says seriously.
"!"
"So... say the hour and location..."
"Are you serious? We have over 100k members on our side."
"Even a million ants can't threaten a dragon."
"Okay then. Your arrogant little fella. Deika city, in one hour." Re-destro accepted.
"Okay. And one more thing... With your army there. Only call whoever is absolutely prepared to DIE!"
*click*
The office was silent for a while.
"Notify Curious, trumpet and Geten. The Meta Liberation Army is going to WAR." Re-destro says with his entire face was covered in black from his quirk.
.....
Hector P.O.V.
*click*
Hook, line and sinker.
Making the smartphone decay with Tomura quirk I send an air cannon at the drone destroying it.
"Are you sure about this, Hector?" Shimura-san asks me worriedly.
"Yes. The Meta Army is a problem for this world. They grew absurdly in numbers while staying hidden. And it has fingers in various sectors of society: Press, support items, politics..."
"Do they really have 100,000 members?" Shinomori-san asks me.
"Yes. And they all trained with their quirks, apparently They are a organization that follows the philosophy that the free usage of Quirks is a basic human right and emphasizes liberation over regulation. They believe that the stronger you are with your quirks, your social standing must be equally high too" I say giving a small summary of the Meta Liberation Army.
Honestly, I somewhat agree with their philosophy. And I think I'm going to implement some of it when I get back to the Marvel Universe. Not all about the weak being lower in society. But that all metas can use their powers freely, and have practice with them. To avoid accidents. And seek self-improvement to improve the Society as a whole.
"100,000 villains hidden in plain sight... This present is full of problems." The third user says.
"This is All Might's fault." I say without thinking too much. And when I see Shimura-san's head turning quickly towards me I feel like I have to explain myself.
"OkayAll Might did a great job. It brought peace and order to society. But the system is not perfect, it is too closed off with its dogmas to maintain this fragile peace carried on the back of a single person. It restricts people and rejects the different ones. Also, All Might is very strong. Villains aren't stupid, they'll hide well... It's hard to punch an enemy you don't even know exists. So the more dangerous ones will stay hidden amassing strength like that, meanwhile All Might and society in general is blissfully unaware" I say.
The One For All users are silent. Not everything can be solved by punching, that I can agree with All For One...
"Changing the subject, why do you act like a third-rate villain when you're in your Dis persona?" Banjo asks me out of the blue.
I shrug. "I act as different as possible from my real self. Let them chase someone who doesn't exist and far from 'Hector' as possible"
After answering I head towards the place where Machia and Eri are. Eri is drawing on Machia's skin as he takes care of her.
Cute.
"Eri, Machia!" I call and they turn to me.
"Eri, I'm going to fight some bad guys now. I need you to be a good girl and wait for me in your room. Behave, okay? I'll be back soon." And I say kneeling down to keep eye level with Eri.
"Machia, wait for me here. Let's go together against the enemy" I say as I take Eri in my arms and walk through the portal I opened.
"YEES, MASTER. I WILL DESTROY ALL THAT STAND IN YOUR PATH!"
After putting Eri in the room with some anime I go back, but I'm surprised when the second user talks to me.
"Are you going to kill them?" he asks me.
"Most of them" I answer simply.
"Good." This surprises me.
"Such a large number of villains is a problem even if they are arrested. It will be good if you resolve this before you leave." He says.
Some seem uncomfortable with the possible massacre that I will do now. But I don't care, I've already warned the enemy, and they are ready to die.
"Hector... We're talking about over 100,000 lives. You can't trivialize them like that. I'm afraid of what you might become. IF you walk this path of no return. Think about your own life and try to weigh it against others." She tries to advise me, but my resolve is already made.
"Tsc Tsc Shimura-san, I've been prepared to die since the day I decided to walk in this path. Do you think I started all this thinking it is all a game? Like the children of this world hero course? AS IF. I know very well that I can die at any moment, really... I won't even be angry. I have already taken many lives, what right do I have to be angry if someone tries to take my life?" I say seriously and something in my eyes must have shocked her. Because she is mute.
"Make no mistake. My life is the most important thig to me. Is the ultimate gift give by my parents. I will do anything to survive. But I'm not so hypocritical as not to conjure up the possibility of my death. I have a vision for the future Shimura-san. But if I act like a hero, considering all life equally precious. Sacrificing myself for others... Others that aren't worth it.. I won't be able to accomplish my objective. The changes for the better that I want to my world."
"I'm sorry. I'm no hero material. I will try to uphold you guys teachings the maximum possible. But at the end of it all. I am a selfish human. The Meta Liberation Army plans to bring chaos to all of Japan to make their thinking the only solution to an unprecedented crisis. Ending millions of lives for this. I will stop them. I will stop them for the people of this world. So that the real heroes don't have to make that hard choice." Trees began to be pushed by an unseen force with me at the center. A force that represents my will. Haoshouku no Haki.
With that I put on my cloak and float onto Gigantomachia's back.
"Machia Southeast. You can go slowly, we're not in a hurry. Let the enemies savor their last day in this world." I say.
"YESSS!"
As Machia moves I pull a smartphone out of my inventory and make a call. Changing my voice I start to speak.
"Moshi Moshi, keiatsu desu ka? I'd like to make an anonymous report... I'm from the Meta Liberation Army. And I hear just now that we're going to be attacked by the villain DIS. Yes... This one. Actually the Meta Liberation Army is an organization of villains... Please help me.. I don't want to fight Dis, he scares me... Please. In Deika city. In one hour." *Click*
Destroying the smartphone I focus forward.
Principal Nezu must be planning some trap for me. Why can't I make him use this trap on my terms? Heh
.....
3rd person P.O.V.
"We have a clue about Dis" Naomasa Tsukauchi a detective from the police force announces as he enters an office with several other individuals.
"Apparently he will come into conflict with the Meta Liberation Army. This army actually appears to be a villainous organization with many trained members. Your hunch is right Principal." Naomasa finishes, looking at the mouse-bear-dog in the room.
"I thought he would go after the Meta Liberation Army at some point, but I didn't think they would be a criminal organization. They advertised as a group to help you control quirks and gain a better understanding of yourself. So they will make a good prey to Dis." Principal Nezu speaks from where he is sitting on Aizawa's shoulder, the hero Eraserhead.
"Thanks to Hawks sharing his informations after his retirement, we can be sure that this lead is true." Aizawa adds.
"It's sooner than I expected, but we can put the plan into action. All characters of this play are here. Are you guys ready?" The Principal speaks looking at two figure seated further away, next to All might in his skinny form.
"You need me. And here I am! I owe Japan a lot, I will not back down now." A muscular man speaks.
"I can't deny a request from All Might. Let's tackle this villain!" Another tall, muscular woman responds.
Those two are Captain Celebrity and Star and Stripe. The two top heroes in America.
....
Deika City, One Hour Later.
Third Person P.O.V.
Two people approach the city of Deika via a deserted route. Arriving at a point where it is possible to see the whole city, they are accosted by a hero.
The hero Slidin' GO is secretly a member of the Meta Liberation Army and will be Dis and Gigantomachia's Guide to the stage of confrontation between the two groups.
"Greetings Dis. Please follow me. You should be surprised that a pro her-"
"Just lead the way traitor." Dis interrupts him still on Gigantomachia's shoulders, he doesn't even look at the hero.
"... Okay."
After a few minutes, they approach the entrance to the city.
"Every city is the battlefield, right?" Dis question.
"Exactly. This is the base of the Meta Liberation Army. All citizens are part of our great group." Slidin' GO responds by making an "L" with his fingers in front of his forehead.
"I see. And have all the children and old people, people who cannot and do not want to fight, been evacuated?" Dis question the hero.
"There is no one who didn't want to fight. But we do evacuate children and people who cannot fight." The traitorous hero responds.
"I understand. That's good... You can start by being the first causality" he says and disappears from where he is.
The hero was not unprepared. He's trained for it. He hasn't let his guard down, but Dis is just too fast. He has no chance.
Grabbing Slidin' GO by the head, Dis steals his quirk in an instant and then decay him in the next.
"A quirk that eliminates the user friction with surfaces is very useful"
As he says this, several figures begin to float in the sky of the city of Deika. All these figures were invisible until now. And all of them are Dis.
The clones made by the quirk [Twice] extend one arm each and point towards the city. From each arm an Electromagnetic Pulse is emitted, boosted by [Air Cannon] and other quirks. All electronics in the city, with the exception of a few more protected ones, were disabled.
The massacre begins now.
.....
Hector P.O.V.
Seeing all electronics disabled I prepare for the fight. I don't believe all the electronics were destroyed, they sure must have some protection againt E.M.P.. But it's already a plus.
"You can use large scale attacks. Using [Decay], [Cremation] or [Twice] all this will be over in an instant." The second user says, he is being surprisingly helpful in this mission. He seems to be the "the ends justify the means" type of guy.
"Nah. Time to train." I say while jumping on the roof of a house. Desert, huh? Planning an ambush...
"They could be hiding underground, inside houses further down the road or even above the clouds. Stay alert." The third user speaks.
"Yes... Let's start big then, since they don't want to get out of their holes..." I readied my arm.
My body alone is far superior to that of a normal person. So I can use a stolen quirk much better than the original user. If I combine with other quirks the power will increase even more. And if I use One For All...
Using a combination of quirks I target the Detnerat Company building, which I know from my meta knowledge is the headquarters.
Let's see how strong I really am.
Flexing my muscles I aim the [Air Cannon] at the building.
*boooooom*
The air mass launched by me goes unimpeded halfway, destroying houses, uprooting trees, flattening the terrain. But a giant ice wall rises to prevent the air mass from flowing into the building. Geten... One of the top fighters and ice user.
Not that it can stop much. The ice wall is also thrown away and my attack continues its way, weakened but still continues.
But another ice wall rises right in front of the building again. But this time tilted. And finally the air mass is diverted to the sky.
"Um, that building appears to be reinforced too." I say thinking that the building only swayed a little. "Oh~ Look! Did the little rats come out of their holes?" I talk in a condescending tone to annoy them.
And more people show up. And more. And more.
It doesn't stop until a mass of people get in my way between the tower.
"Huh. Like little ants protecting the anthill~" I say looking at them joining together. I can recognize some executives, but Re-destro isn't here...
"Why don't I filter the weaklings first?" I speak before releasing my Haoshoku no Haki.
It's the first time I've used it on this scale. After just one wave I stop giving off my pressure. And they start to fall...
"What is happening?!"
"Is this a quirk?!"
"Oy Oy. Wake up"
Two-thirds of them fell.
And my Katakuri card is still at 51%, even with all the spars with Machia.
Let's resolve this stagnation. And I launch myself towards the mass of enemies.
"Machia. Destroy." I say pointing to the tower.
"YESSSS" he yells and grows, and starts moving forward ignoring all the little ants in his path.
...
3rd person P.O.V.
Close to Deika City
"It's amazing that so many heroes were gathered so quickly." Cathleen Bate, Hero Name: Star and Stripe, the top 1 hero of America comments after seeing the large numbers of heroes moving to the city of Deika.
"They were all ordered to be 24/7 ready to be called" Principal Nezu responds. "This is the greatest heroic mobilization in history. We have to win."
Most of Japan's heroes along with the police force and America's top 2 heroes are coming together to face a single villain.
"Satellite images already point the conflict between the two groups" Tsukauchi warns. "Time to go."
...
A.N: We are aproaching the conclusion.
