章 80: League of Villains make their RE appearance!
______________________________________
After a long while the barrage of attacks seemed to slow down, being given time to rest everyone took a moment to breathe.
However given a few moments to think Nighteye noticed something strange, the hallway seemed much more open than before
"I think Mimic is trying something, be careful and don't fall for any traps" Nighteye gripped onto his weighted stamps and carefully scrutinized the area
And soon enough something did happen as walls began riding dividing up the teams, of course, those dividers were quickly destroyed quite quickly by Midoriya's kicks, Kirishima's punches, and Rimuru's smoke. However, that split moment allowed for an enemy to slip through
"Is everyone alright?" Nighteye asked, as the leader of the group he had to keep an eye on everyone and make sure nobody got injured
"We're fine!" Kirishima and FatGum answered
"I'm good," Eraserhead said
"I'm alright!" Midoriya answered while landing, his body crackling with lightning
"We're also good" Rimuru and Jiro answered
"I'm good" x2
As everyone turned their gaze they soon noticed what happened. There are now 2 RockLocks. The two looked at each other with confused expressions
"Oy, that's the fake one!" One of the RockLocks said while pointing at the other
"That doesn't help anyone!" Kirishima shouted while looking vigilant, one of the imposters could attack at any moment.
"Are you stupid it's obviously him!" The other shouted, however, the entire group didn't trust either
"Stand next to each other and we'll deal with who is the real and fake" Midoriya asked the two, who simply complied, standing next to each other Midoriya began scrutinizing the two however he didn't realize it gave the imposter a prime opportunity to attack
Suddenly one of the RockLocks grinned widely showing off their teeth, their fangs very much reminiscent of a vampire
"Kekeke I'm gonna drink you" Without even Midoriya realizing that Rocklock pulled out a knife and stabbed the other in the back. The imposter quickly dashed back as Aizawa's scarf shot towards him. A smile never disappearing from their face
Soon the imposter RockLock's face melted revealing
"Himiko Toga! Nice to see you again! Can I stab you!" Goop melting off of her body began revealing her naked form, which caused Midoriya to get flustered and cover his face
"Idiot! Keep your eyes on her---" Aizawa shouted but it was too late as Himiko already dashed forward and slashed Midoriya's arm
However Himiko's target wasn't Midoriya, her gaze turned to the side as her face began blushing
"Jiro-san! I missed you so much!" Like fan girl meeting her Idol, Himiko sprinted toward Jiro with her knife ready to strike
Rimuru on the side had a conflicted expression. His eyebrows were lowered as he stared at Jiro walking back
'I don't see a Yuri tag anywhere...'
"Jiro-san! Want to join the villains? We can bleed so many people together~" Himiko in her delusions offered.
Jiro upon hearing Himiko's words stopped in place, her pupils narrowing into the size of a needle.
"I'll never be a villain!" She shouted out making Himiko slow down for a moment
"You haven't tried to yet right? Let's kill our first person! Let's kill Bluey here! He's too beautiful to be a man" Himiko giggled while pointing her knife at Rimuru who was just standing there, black lines shadowing his face.
Jiro who had enough of her stopped in her tracks which allowed Himiko to dash forward. Unfortunately, that was the wrong move as at that moment as Jiro's ear jacks aimed to stab Himiko's eyes
Of course, Himiko with her plot armor reacted dash right back. Jiro now with
an advantage bent down and made her ear jacks attach to the ground sending seismic waves toward Himiko
With the floor now rumbling and shifting Himiko found it hard to catch her footing, seeing as she couldn't attack all of them at the same time she decided to retreat, much to the dismay of Mimic who was watching.
Rimuru who finally snapped out of his confused stupor stared at Mimic, and before Mimic could retreat launched a punch into the ceiling.
"Why, hello there sailor. Do you have time to talk about your lord and savior Rimuru?" Rimuru's eyes shined as he stared at Mimic who was now outside of his safe space AKA the basement
"You brat! When Overhaul gets to hell rip you to sherds you hear---" With another punch to the nose Mimic was finally dealt with, something which took one chapter too long
"Couldn't you have done that in the beginning?" Aizawa asked seeing Rimuru effortlessly deal with Mimic
"I don't have eyes on the back of my head, how do you think I would've caught him?"
"... Fair"
***********************************************
A few days earlier.
"Do you know how to play Shogi?" Overhaul asked Shigaraki who was sitting inside his office while organizing a Shogi board
"Isn't this a business meeting? Why are you pulling out a game?" Shigaraki asked while leaning back on the couch, his hand gravitating towards his neck trying to scratch.
"It is common courtesy to offer recreation instead of going straight into business." Overhaul replied while placing the Shogu pieces on the board, while Shigaraki just watched
"Are you sure he can actually play Shogi?" Chronostasis asked while entering the room
"Shut up. Like I have time to learn a boring game" Shigaraki pointed at Chronostasis while playing with a Shogi piece in his hands.
"Why don't you take this opportunity to learn something new? It could help you in other places" Overhaul said before moving his first piece forward.
"In Shogi you can use the pieces you've captured." Kai moved his pawn while explaining, Shigaraki on the other hand just stared at the board without saying a word
"So it's like chess but with necromancy?" Shigaraki said while moving his own pawn forward. His strange joke didn't land but Overhaul decided not to comment
"As we've talked before, the deal is simple. Give me Jin Bubaigawara, Kurigiri or Toga. Of course just temporarily, to limit your movement and prevent betrayal" Kai next moved his rook advancing his position
(A/N: I don't know how to play Shogi nor am I good at chess. I am just reading from the Wikipedia page lol)
"You chose all the useful ones huh...prevent betrayal? They're the most important ones" Shigaraki scratched his neck while retiring with an aggressive tone.
"It's all about building trust. You clearly don't trust us enough but at some point, you will have to pull your weight. We have already provided you with what you requested, now is your turn" Kai tapped the table as Shigaraki hadn't made his move yet
"I can give you Toga or Jin but Kurogiri won't be coming. He's too important" Tomura moved his silver general prompting Kai to make his next move. However, Kai simply reached under the table before pulling out a red box
"It seems a deal can be made, here is our latest product. Quirk erasing bullets, permanent ones. Once I can mass produce those you can get as many as you'd like" Kai opened the box showing 5 red bullets as well as 5 blue vials.
"Kekeke, Does it work in All Might?"
"..."
***********************************************
"Don't touch Toga-chan you brats! She is my little princess! So I'll kick your a**" Before we could even continue we were interrupted by Twice as he burst into the room loudly with a Yakuza member following closely behind
"Ara? Did Toga leave earlier than I thought? How dumb of me! Yes, I'm sooo smart!" Twice began talking conflictingly before his face turned serious while staring at us
"Then let's fight! Go I choose you!" Twice pointed forward as the Yakuza member went in front, his muscular arms and gauntlets making it pretty obvious he's a physical fighter
"How arrogant, villains picking a fight with the heroes... Even when they know they're at a disadvantage" Aizawa muttered while staring at the villains with his eyes glowing red. Their quirks were deactivated as soon as they entered the room
"Alright then, give me a good fight yall" The Yakuza member hit his fists together before rushing forward however he was stopped in his tracks as Nighteye swiped his legs from right below him
"All of you fight the same... It's... Predictable" Nighteye said as his eyes turned purple, as soon as the villain landed on the floor he hit him with his weighted stamps sending him to the other side of the room and cracking the walls
Twice was frozen in shock, slowly turning to look at the villain he saw him slowly turn to mud before disappearing, showing the cracks he made on the wall
"You guys are scary! Tactical retreat!!!!"
Twice immediately skadoodled from the group of heroes under their stunned gaze they couldn't even react
"Aren't we going to catch him?" Midoriya suddenly said in a panic
"We can't waste time, we need to get to Mirio before he confronts Overhaul alone," Aizawa said while removing his goggles, he turned towards the empty hallway and stepped forward
'I'm pretty sure he has already confronted Overhaul' Rimuru thought as his [universal thread] vibrated in his ears telling him everything that's happening close by to Overhaul...
***********************************************
"Excuse me, I'm here to ask you some questions" Mirio shouted towards Overhaul and Chronostasis, sweat beading down his forehead as he sprinted the whole way there
"You shouldn't have been able to reach here so fast" Overhaul seemingly unperturbed commented calmly
"I took a few shortcuts... But I'm here to rescue that girl!" Mirio pointed at Eri who was being carried by Chronostasis, his eyes burning with determination
"Heh, now that you know what we do with her you decide to play the hero? Mr student?" Overhaul's eyes reeked of disdain as he stared at Mirio
"Back then you acted like corrupt cops, ignoring what's in front of you for a little bit of profit... Don't you see? She doesn't need anyone to rescue her" Overhaul continued as he pointed at Eri
"You're not a hero in her eyes, just another bystander who'll turn a blind eye to crimes" and to his dismay Overhaul was right, Eri's eyes looked scared as she stared at him. Clutching her teddybear which had a suspicious thin silver wire connected to it... I wonder who put that there?
"That's exactly why I'm here"
Mirio said while preparing to fight however Overhaul simply turned around
"All my words are going in one ear and going out the other. I'm telling you to go die" Overhaul stated and before Mirio could launch an attack he felt his sense of balance lost
"W-what?"
"Kyakyakay! Are you drunk? You seem pretty shakey" a strange voice echoed in his ears and looking forward he saw a hunched-over figure chugging a bottle of soju
'is that his quirk? I can't walk with him here---' Before he could come up with a plan he heard the sound of a hammer click, he swiftly dodged the bullet that came after him.
["What is your quirk?"]
Suddenly feeling compelled to talk Mirio couldn't help but open his mouth
"Permeation! I can't slip through anything" put a hand over his mouth he stared at the villain in front of him with dismay
"Makes sense how you bypassed Mimic, rookie mistake," The Black hatted villain said before pointing his gun again and firing another shot
However they simply permeated through Mirio's body
"How can you work for someone who does such things to his own daughter? You aren't afraid of what he might do to you?" Mirio tried to play with his feelings however the Black hatted villain simply scoffed
(A/N: I'm too lazy to actually find out their names so I'm just gonna make them up)
"Daughter? I think you might've misunderstood, she's just his niece. Her father died because of her anyway. You couldn't even find that out and you're planning to raid us?" The Black hatted villain simply played with Mirio's insecurities. And admittedly he was doing a good job
However, the main group was approaching fast and his quirk not being a combat type was going to make it hard for him
_______________________________________
A/N: I've started to notice I haven't been including Rimuru in a lot of these chapters so let me ask
Do you want Rimuru to be the main star of the show and I should stop focusing on the side cast?
Or should I develop some of the side characters with Rimuru just being the main character?
Just comment about it and we'll see
