CHAPTER START---

At an undisclosed location, Shigaraki was currently sitting comfortably on a couch playing on his phone.

Taking his role as the now true leader of the League Of Villains seriously, after being forced to grow up since All For One was locked away he's slowly becoming someone his master wouldn't be ashamed of.

Standing behind the couch to his left is Kurogiri, dutifully waiting for the signal for this meeting to begin.

At as his other side is Spinner, his right-hand man who was currently also playing on his phone, in a racing game with his boss.

In front of Shigaraki is a coffee table with an identical couch on the other side, and a moment later Kurogiri receives the signal that the intended guest is ready.

"Master," Kurogiri says. "Dabi has sent the signal."

"Tch, just when I was about to win," Shigaraki groans, but immediately puts his phone away.

"We can have a rematch later," Spinner says with a light chuckle, always one to enjoy time with his friend.

But as the Warp Gate opens across from them he immediately puts on his most intimidating face. As intimidating as a lanky lizard man with a 'greatsword', -which is just a collection of smaller knives stuck together-, can be.

The first out of the Warp Gate was Dabi, their resident half-burnt Elementalist.

Blue flames that are stronger than his father's, but even Endeavor doesn't know his son is alive. Only Dabi knows this truth.

His usual black leather trench coat was missing, and his body had some shallow gashes, his entire torso exposed to show all the burnt skin usually hidden away.

Ignoring his state he just lazily walks to the side of the room as the next person walks out of the Warp Gate.

Himiko Toga, their resident blonde school girl, her uniform splattered in blood and her hair loose to flow down her back instead of the usual two messy buns.

Tentatively licking her lips that were still dripping blood.

As their infiltrator she had the least combat of everyone, and made it out nearly flawlessly.

"Some of those guys were real weirdos 'Shigi!" Toga whines as she skips off to the side to stand beside Dabi.

The next person to walk out of the Warp Gate was their resident S-Class threat.

One of three in Japan's History.

By definition, an S-Class individual is someone that can overthrow a small nation singlehandedly. Being powerful helps, but what's most important is having some unquantifiable X-Factor.

This is why, even with all their power, people like Endeavor, Buakaw, Hodori, and even Gigantomachia aren't S-Class. They have the firepower but can't feasibly suppress an entire country.

All Might was S-Class simply because of his power, endurance, speed, and stamina. His powerset is simple but it's so far beyond the scope of normal that he punched his way into this list.

Star and Stripe as well as Horizon are S-Class by default, it simply comes with the territory of their Mystery Class status. And the absurd shows of power certainly clear any doubt.

But with All Might gone, Japan now only has 3, still more than the rest of the world combined.

Horizon, All For One.

And Japan's 3rd is who walks out of the portal next---

"Heyooo!" Twice saunters out cheerfully, completely unharmed.

His Quirk: Twice, allows him to copy himself or another person that he's touched and has the measurements of, these copies can make additional copies which become progressively less durable, but they can all use the Quirk of whoever they copy.

There is no numerical limit to this Quirk, a potentially infinite one-man army.

Wearing his black skin suit with white stripes he's followed by two copies of himself, holding a bloody and battered Kai Chisaki -Overhaul- by his forearms, stopping him from using his Quirk.

As the copies drop Overhaul into the seat opposite Shigaraki, the villain looks at his new associate.

Standing at 5ft10 -179cm- Overhaul was a thin man, currently wearing a battered white t-shirt and green jacket with black slacks. His brown hair was matted to his head by his own blood and the usual plague doctor mask knocked off his face, exposing his broken nose.

Even with his seemingly almighty Quirk, he barely lasted a few seconds against Shigaraki's bodyguard, against Gigantomachia.

'Kai Chisaki, Overhaul, how far you've fallen...' Shigaraki thinks, recalling how proud the man was during the meeting they had with all Yakuza heads.

"WAKE UP!" one of the copies yells and smacks Overhaul on the head, startling him awake.

"Huh!" Overhaul's eyes immediately narrow as he sees Shigaraki across from him, but he notices Spinner and Kurogiri as well.

He immediately drops down in his seat, leaning forward to slam his palm onto the floor, broken fingers and all.

One touch to the floor and he'd be able to break it apart, break the entire room apart and reassemble it however he wants, instantly killing everyone.

But the moment his hand was about to touch the ground, he stopped, saving his own life.

Directly below his palm had suddenly become a sickly grey and begun falling apart, Decay.

"How about you just settle down so we can sort out the details..." Shigaraki suggests, his tone casual and relaxed.

Overhaul's eyes follow the Decay spot, running along the trail crossing the floor between them and leading up the side of the couch, directly to where Shigaraki's arm was on the armrest.

'Since when was his control this good?' Overhaul wonders, noticing only this one part of the couch affected, control similar to his own.

But Decay is a destruction that Overhaul cannot undo, touching that spot would have been fatal.

Narrowing his eyes at Shigaraki, Overhaul widely sits back on the couch, looking around, not seeing Gigantomachia thankfully.

"Alright, what do you want?" Overhaul asks.

Shigaraki relaxes back into his seat, "the same deal as before, but...a bit steeper this time since you made my friends have to do some work. You really should have agreed like all the other villain organizations. You're the only Yakuza faction that was dumb enough to try and resist after all..."

Overhaul is angered by hearing the Yakuza openly mocked, but bites his tongue.

"Your demands?" Overhaul asks.

"You'll be transferring some of your earnings to us, and of course be acting as our eyes and ears for certain things. Compress will give you the details when he gets back.

Normally that's the extent of it, but your payments will be larger than most simply because you made us go through the hassle of teaching you where you stand in my new world order, but..."

Shigaraki opens his hands to Kurogiri, who drops a single red bullet into his palm, tipped with a needle.

Carefully holding it between his fingers to avoid the needle, Shigaraki looks past the bullet and toward Overhaul.

"These Deleter Rounds," Shigaraki says. "Somehow you figured out how to temporarily destroy Quirks, how close are you to making the effect permanent?"

"...."

Seeing Overhaul being difficult, Shigaraki leans forward and pokes the coffee table with one finger, and a slow Decay trail begins moving from his single fingertip, across the table, down the leg, to Overhaul's foot.

"A few more weeks," Overhaul cracks and answers, and Shigaraki leans back once more.

"Hmm," Shigaraki hands the bullet back to Kurogiri. "I'll send some Nomu to protect the room you keep these in, for protection, and to keep and eye on the supply. Don't want you to get any stupid ideas.

You can use the Radio Nomu we'll be sending to communicate with us if something happens, I'll also be giving you a few more for muscle since these bullets are useful. But keep them in your underground hideout, if anyone knows you have a Nomu then---"

"Horizon comes running to investigate," Overhaul says. "I get it."

"Whatever, those are your instructions, welcome to the new world order, you Yakuza thugs are much better put to use under me, you should be happy."

Overhaul furrows his brow, unable to hold his tongue, "the Yakuza is a proud organization, we're a staple in Japan's underworld. With All Might gone we could have taken over Japan."

"Then why didn't you?" Shigaraki asks, almost jokingly.

Twice and Toga can't help but chuckle at bit, desperately trying not to interrupt the meeting.

"Because---"

"Because you don't realize that things aren't the same as when All Might was around, even with him gone the entire structure of the country has been shaken up."

Overhaul sits back to listen, curious as the what Shigaraki was talking about.

Shigaraki raises three fingers, "Japan currently has 3 Powers controlling it. Before it was just All Might at the top, but now there isn't that one Symbol above everyone else.

The first, is the Hero Public Safety Commission. They have all the heroes and the police, their heavy hitter is Endeavor, he's too much for any villain but Machia and some of our more specialized Nomu to deal with, atleast in their current states.

The second, is the League Of Villains. We control the Nomu as produce them. We also now control all of the Yakuza and any noteworthy gang or villain in the country.

Our heavy hitter is Gigantomachia, he's too much for any one hero to handle and everyone knows it. Plus we've got Twice to cause serious problems if needed.

See how it works, All Might was so powerful he could bulldoze anyone, so Heroes ran rampant during his time. But now Endeavor acts as a counterbalance to keep the other side in check.

But Endeavor isn't really that big of a concern when we've got Machi, its the 3rd faction that I'll be using your technology against. To weaken their support network so we can crush them."

"3rd faction?" Overhaul questions. "Another villain group?"

"No, Nezu, and his champion, his favorite student, Miracle Boy, Horizon..."

Overhaul looks completely confused by that, "he isn't included with the other heroes?"

"Oh no, our sources say he only answers to Nezu, and they seem to have their own agenda that our sources say raises tension with the Commission. I'm making you aware of this because if these bullets go public too soon then both those factions will converge on you, and I'll lose my secret weapons."

"I see," Overhaul takes a second look at Shigaraki, now realizing there was more to him than just destruction, there was a method to the madness after all.

He'd never truly follow him, but for now he could atleast see use in the other villains, "but why not attack UA when Horizon is in Tokyo doing hero work, if Nezu is the true leader of that faction?"

"Hmm, how do I put this?" Shigaraki scratches his head. "The way I have to give the Nomu commands to act, Nezu has to hold onto Horizon's reigns, apparently he's a bit...excessive, and obsessive.

Having him take orders from someone more gentle is in our best interest. And the time he spends at UA opens up a few days that we can get work done within Tokyo without him suddenly detecting us...somehow."

"But if my bullets delete his Quirk, then Gigantomachia can deal with the other Heroes, and game over for them," Overhaul says.

"Those bullets won't work on him," Shigaraki says, catching Overhaul off guard. "It's one of the many experiments we ran with the blood samples my master collected during their fight in the forest.

But don't you worry about Horizon, we're working on something to deal with him, you just need to go make my bullets, and keep your head down..."

'So Shigaraki has a way to deal with Horizon, and since my bullets can't work I should just let him handle that. Then I can just delete all their Quirk and make my clean world.

I'll just need to find another way to administer my cure to Gigantomachia, since my Quirk doesn't work on him its the easiest way to deal with him.'

"Alright boss," Overhaul says, playing his part. "I'll leave Horizon to you, and I'll contact you when the first batch of permanent bullets is ready."

Shigaraki looks annoyed at that but just nods, and a moment later Kurogiri warps Overhaul away.

Spinner and Shigaraki immediately take a relaxing breath, not enjoying having to 'play tough' in these formal meetings at all.

"Are all of you ok?" he asks Dabi, Twice, and Toga.

"Doing great!" Twice cheers.

"Never better!" Toga joins him.

Dabi just rolls his eyes at them and walks out of the room.

"Hey Shigi, since when do we have something to deal with Horizon?" Toga asks. "I thought you said to stay far away from him, I mean that's why we're all the way in the countryside instead of back in Tokyo, right?"

"We don't have anything yet, atleast nothing that I'm sure has a 100% win rate, but we will."

"Really?" Twice asks.

"Gigantomachia," Shigaraki says. "Now that the final notable villain organization is under our control, Ujiko can operate on him to add the new Quirks, with those even Horizon can't stop him.

Who knows, maybe he'll even be strong enough to challenge Star and Stripe..."

"One thing at a time master," Kurogiri warns him, because nobody was ready for that fight...

BEEP BEEP BEEP!

Shigaraki immediately answers his phone, "Compress, what's going on?"

"I'm sorry boss, but I couldn't recover the item from I-Island, there was a villain attack while I was sneaking in and the place became a warzone."

"Are you ok?"

"Oh, yeah I'm fine, but this mission is a fail."

"There'll always be another mission, head back to the Warp Gate location, Kurogiri will meet you there..."

Chapter 138: CHAPTER 134(Stretched Thin)

Discord: https://discord.gg/t7bHrdRY7Y

CHAPTER START---

After nearly 70 Hours of non-stop Hero work, Horizon is walking down the sidewalk of Tokyo, feeling mentally and physically exhausted.

The lunchtime crowd was looking at him, as if unsure of if this was.

Horizon rarely ever walks around on the street because of the crowds that always swarm him, and as people come to their senses, he seemingly randomly walks into the street.

Even after days of constant Hero work, his Hero Costume was perfectly clean -aside from the gloves-, even if the man below desperately desired a shower and nap.

Horizon raises a hand and casually signals for the cars on the street to stop.

"Clear the street for a minute please, Hero stuff!" he yells out as he stands in the middle of the road.

Everyone looks around, not seeing anything out of the usual.

Only a few people begin moving, others are unsure of what he's talking about, and a few idiots still take out their phones to ask him for a picture or record whatever they think is about to happen.

BANG BANG!

Two gunshots ring out, and Horizon just rolls his eyes, yawning below his visor as people finally begin to clear out.

This has been the state of Tokyo and the more populated cities for the past 3 days.

Ever since Gigantomachia showed the world what happens to any aid they send to Japan, international companies immediately began to withdraw their physical businesses.

Investments instantly dropped all across the country.

And overnight, a new wave of unemployment struck Japan.

And sadly with unemployment, comes new would-be villains, because while 99% of people would simply struggle for a while and then get a new job, some bad apples decided to take these drastic measures immediately.

All around Japan heroes have been working overtime to put out fires and keep everyone safe and maintain a presence, but the villains, and the new wave of starting villains, are truly relentless.

This is the direct consequence of a nation appearing weak on the international stage.

If you're #1 Hero cannot suppress the villain threats within your borders other countries cannot trust you to protect their citizens, investments, or visiting Heroes.

And through it all, Horizon is determined to stay on the streets as long as possible. This is the time everyone is looking to anyone to take the lead and hold the country together.

All eyes are on two people to accomplish this task, two men that have been working non-stop since that night.

Endeavor, the acting #1 Hero.

And Horizon, who everyone is betting on as their future #1 Hero.

So of course he's out in the public eye trying to soak in as much good publicity as possible.

As the street mostly clears out, some people run into stores and record him on the street, as expected.

'Well at least they're off the street, morons,' Horizon thinks as he looks around, then looks down the street toward where he hears more gunshots, closer this time.

And he senses the chase moving toward him, as predicted.

'Police are right behind them so I shouldn't have to wait more than a few minutes to get out of here. Finally, I can get some food and sleep then get back to work.

Actually, fuck these people, I don't think I'll be heading out until later tonight, I need to relax for a bit. I'm just barely keeping my eyes open right now.'

BANG BANG!

Two more gunshots ring out as a car rounds the corner.

In the front seat is a woman, leaning out the passenger window and shooting back at the cop cars chasing them.

In the driver's seat is a man entirely focused on driving.

And in the back seat is another man firing back at the police.

Horizon sees the panicked look on the driver's face, as he notices Horizon standing in the middle of the street.

The man looks terrified as he yells to his accomplices, who both look forward to see Horizon and begin yelling at each other.

Even from this far away, out of earshot, he could tell they were not infinitely more scared of his appearance on the scene.

The woman screams at the driver and points at Horizon as the man in the back seat just continues firing back at the police, missing every shot.

She points at Horizon, clearly arguing with the driver, then the man relents and just speeds up.

'Did this bitch just tell him to ram me?' Horizon wonders. 'Well, I hope she enjoys hospital time...'

As the car is only a dozen meters away from him, fully intending to ram into him at full speed, he raises a hand.

TAKT!

The entire car stopped, as if the air around it became solid in an instant.

CRASH!

The woman flies through the windscreen, past Horizon who doesn't even bother to catch her or soften the fall, leaving her to ragdoll across the street.

Grating apart enough skin to disfigure her.

Breaking enough bones to put her in the hospital for months, and in a wheelchair for the rest of her life.

Unless a certain someone performs a miracle for the shattered nerves in her legs and spine...he wouldn't.

The driver has his nose broken as his face slams into the steering wheel, and while he's coming back to his senses the man in the back seat gets out of the car, stumbling to his feet.

As everyone is trying to wrap their minds around what just happened, the police come to a stop two dozen meters away, opening their doors for cover and drawing their guns, but not firing.

Horizon was on the scene after all, adding bullets that could potentially hurt civilians into the mix was unnecessary.

Eventually, both men stumble out of opposite sides of the car, one holding his head and the other holding his broken nose. The steering wheel itself was warped from the impact.

'Durability Quirk?' Horizon wonders.

Then both of them look past Horizon to the woman, slowly bleeding out, completely blacked out.

"Damn it!" The driver yells. "That's my wife!"

Horizon shrugs, "get a smarter one next time..."

And both men immediately rush Horizon. The driver raises his fists which seem to glow with orange energy, while the other man transforms his fingernails into meter-long blades.

Horizon holds the hilt of his sword, still sheathed at his side, then throws it out at the man with blades.

TAKT: Dancing Sword!

Scalpel -Horizon's sword- flies through the air and begins fighting the man with bladed fingers seemingly on its own as Horizon casually walks toward the driver.

"Lets wrap this up," Horizon taunts.

"ARRRRGHHHHH!"

"Exactly," he responds with a chuckle as the driver swings wildly at him, a strong right, sloppy and untrained. The strike of a desperate man with no other options.

BOOSTER SHOT!

Horizon meets the man with his own strike, and as their fists collide he feels the man's fingers shatter.

Then his wrist buckles.

Then the man's forearm shatters and his shoulder is dislocated.

"AHHHH!" the man screams out, only to receive a left hook, knocking him out completely and leaving him on the street.

The sound of steel crossing steel echoes out as Horizon looks down at his fist, seeing some blood on his gloves from this opponent and some wear and tear from the past 70 hours.

But he also sees the now familiar blue vapor-like energy radiating from his hand, feeling his mind now at its limit.

As if he were standing on the edge of a skyscraper and the hurricane was closing in.

Ready to push him off...

'Problems for later...' he decides, looking toward his sword and its opponent. Even controlled by his TAKT the blade was a thing of beauty fighting on its own.

'I guess Sero was right, it's not very economical so I certainly never would have thought of it...but damn does it look cool, and the media will surely agree.'

Currently, the final opponent was trying to get past Scalpel -Horizon's sword- to close in on the Hero, but he couldn't even manage that.

Horizon just shakes his head and looks toward the police while walking toward his sword, "I'm done here, you can come and arrest these losers!"

"Hey I'm not done yet!" the man says as Horizon now takes his sword back into his hand, standing across from him. Even while he was trembling in fear, he refused to back down, because his friends were on the line.

"Yes, you are, Incision."

As the ten finger-blades clash with Scalpel, unlike all the other clashes, this time Horizon's sword easily cleaves through the man's Quirk, only stopping at his throat because of Horizon's perfect control.

Feeling the cold metal alloy against his throat the man raises his hands in surrender as the police approach him.

On its own Scalpel is just an admittedly unwieldy, heavy, and terribly balanced weapon for most people. But in his hand, with Hand Of God amplifying its attacks, it can easily cleave through such simple things as blades.

---12 Minutes Later...

Standing behind a police car Horizon is treating one of the officers who was currently sitting on the trunk.

And as he takes the bullet out of the man's shoulder he casually placed a palm on his arm, and the surrounding officers watch in amazement as they can see the injury healing in real-time.

"Did anyone else get hurt, is that everyone?" Horizon asks as he gives the man a final check.

"That's it," one of the other men says. "Thanks for this, the guys really appreciate it, having someone looking out for us."

"We're all on the same team," Horizon shrugs. "It's the least I can do."

"Well, we appreciate it all the same."

"Likewise, now if you don't mind I need to go get some food."

"Oh, right, you've been fighting for days right, I can't even imagine that..." One of the other men says, causing Horizon to turn and look at him.

"How do you know that?"

The man looks genuinely surprised at this, "it's...on the news, and some people online have been trying to figure out when you sleep, sorry I thought you knew....wait, it's true? That's crazy."

Horizon just shakes his head, hating this Celebrity Hero nonsense more every day, "how can I sleep when villains are hurting people? Anyway, I'm gonna get some fo---"

Horizon's phone immediately goes off, and an emergency alert gets projected into his visor.

And everyone hears him respond with a loud groan.

"Bank robbery in progress, guess my food will have to wait a while..."
