*KEN'S POV*
I had made a new load out. It was made for assassination. It had my base items and a few new ones. Two quirks black one that allowed me to enter shadows and travel through them and dark shadow. The sentient quirk manifested as a black rose tattoo over my heart and allowed me to produce a single shadow like entity.
It had to be attached to me though that connection could be as thin as a hair. It copied whatever I was holding but in a shadowy form and didn't copy any abilities.
For the wepons I used a pair of sickles and needles. The sickles had permeation and could phase through things this however did not apply to me only the wepons.
The needles had two quirks porcupine and poison. Porcupine made an endless amount of metal needles from a pouch. Poison was a quirk that allowed me to coat the needles in different kinds of you guessed it Poison. From mild paralysis, slow acting and immediate fast acting.
It has been two months since I sent Eri with Chiyo and All for One has made some big moves. Several prisons have been destroyed and the prisoners released. The fall of Tartarus was all over the news and caused mass panick.
The one thing that not only baffled the public and hero's but raised so many red flags was the fact that they all just disappeared. No random killings no robberies just...nothing.
The news had their predictions on what is going on but I knew. All for One was gathering his army. I can imagine any who don't bend the knee have their quirks taken and die swiftly after.
I have told Nezu via Recovery Girl to prepare and to have shelters ready. I thought about joining the heros or even going to the M.L.A and beating Redestro to take comand, but this my war with All for One. I want him to know that his death will be at my hands, and mine alone. Call it stupid, selfish, arrogant, foolish, but in the end it is my choice and I will face him and his army alone.
Equipping my newest loadout I decided to pay a visit to the M.L.A. I'd make sure they stay out of this war one way or another. Yomi would escort all who opposed him into the after life.
*REDESTRO POV*
Redestro had been waiting for this moment all his life he could feel it in the air. Change was on the horizon and he wouldn't miss this opportunity.
He had a meeting with All for One in three weeks and he knew what he wanted. The brotherhood had been a group of interest to him for the past few years. He had hoped to bring them into the fold, but any they sent their way was dealt with in a violent manner.
Smiling to him self he picked up his phone he was going to ask Trumpet to start a smear campaign against the brotherhood. It would be a gesture of good will.
With the public against them they would eventually put pressure on thr hero's to go after them. Fighting a war on two fronts could prove fatal especially to such a small group no matter how strong they are.
The phone rang and rang. He wasn't picking up a dark purple almost black substance began to crawl up Redestro's neck. Taking a calming breath he decided to give Curious a call and have her start reporting the deeds of the brotherhood in a darker light.
The phone yet again began to ring. The call ended almost immediately. The substance made its way to his face before he managed to calm himself. He wasn't sure what was going on but he was slowly losing his temper.
Unknown: "They won't be answering their phones."
A blade was placed at Redestro's neck before he could get up. Despite the black substance covering his neck the blade was slightly piercing his skin.
Unknown: "I know your a man with great ambitions, but trust me when I say it is in your best interests to turn down All for One."
Redestro: "You are right I'm a man of great ambitions. I am going to usher forth a society that people like you and I can live freely without having to deny who we are simply because those weaker than us are afraid.
I take it that the brotherhood sent you Mr...."
Unknown: "I'm aware of your goals and I don't care. I'm here to tell you to back down or be put down."
Redestro: "I see...then I suppose there is no need for further conversation. A pity."
Jerking his head to the side the sickle cut his neck slightly, but in return he sent a backhanded the assassin...only to hit nothing.
Out side the sun was setting as the M.L.A gathered around the Detnerat company building. A signal had been sent out letting them know that an intruder has been spotted in the building.
Redestro had sent out an alert when the assassin made his present known. Both Trumpet and Curious weren't responding so that means he got to them beforehand or has more than one accomplice.
As the army began to swarm the building Redestro was in his office looking for the assassin.
Redestro: "Come out. This place is surrounded if you surrender now we might consider letting you live if you give us all the information on the brotherhood you have."
He was about to start trashing his office to smoke out his opponent when a sharp pain came from his ankle and his leg almost gave out.
An over head strike smashed a hole in the floor. Nothing there was nothing. The setting sun filled the room with shadows. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a figure dashing from shadow to shadow.
Redestro: "Ha shadows. A strong quirk, but not strong enough!"
Throwing a desk at the moving shadow it sunk into the shadow on the ground barely dodging the projectile.
Lamps, desks, books, chairs, floor tiles and roof panels. Anything that could be used as a projectile was thrown. Redestro made sure to stay as far as possible from any shadows.
This task was getting harder and harder to do. As the assassin dodged he threw small needle like objects at the lights. He could hear the shouts coming up the building.
He wasn't sure if it was a good or bad sign. On the bright side they could help him get more light and more eyes. On the other hand there will be a lot more shadows too go to.
Looking out the window Redestro realizes that the sun is going down and with it the light. He also noticed that the street lights weren't turning on.
Eyes widening in horror he realized the end goal of this assassin. He was going to butcher the M.L.A come night fall.
The black substance further covered his body bulking his body to obscene levels. He needed to finish this fight as soon as possible.
Redestro: "Light!!!! Bring me light!!!"
Several people burst through the room quirks at the ready only to collapse as soon as they took a step in the dark room. Before their screams of pain could fill the room the sound of metal cutting flesh and choked gargles was the only thing that escaped their mouths.
Blood pooled on the floor as shock took over the new arrivals. Before they could react a dark figure appeared in their midst. Splitting into two the figure struck, sickles carved into the M.L.A members and needles flew from its hands.
Whoever was hit by a needle almost immediately collapsed and began to convulse as their blood vessels turned a sickening black, and foam mixed with blood oozed out of their mouths.
Redestro hesitated only for a moment when the assassin made himself known, and in that moment he had taken out nearly all of the new arrivals. Letting out a roar of pure rage as more of the purple substance covered his body he rocked forward fist reared back for a punch.
At the last moment the shadow twisted out of the way. The sickle in one of his hands passed effortlessly through the purple substance that coated his body.
From his wrist to his shoulder a long and deep gash bleed. As his quirk moved to cover the wound to slow the bleeding he felt two blades sink into either side of his shoulders.
Feeling his arms go out Redestro wasted no time in retaliating with a backwards kick. He clipped something, turning back he lifted his leg that was previously used to kick and stomped down.
Looking down he saw one of the few that survived the shadows previous slaughter. His chest was caved in and was coughing up blood the light quickly left his eyes.
Before Redestro could turn around a blade went through the back of his neck and exited through his mouth.
*YOMI POV*
Standing in the room covered in blood, he stared blankly at the collapsed corpse of Redestro. The roar of an army sounded through the city. The building shook as it was swarmed.
Yomi could sense different people surrounding the building. Those who came earlier were just the closest, now however he would face the M.L.A in its entirety.
As he sunk into the shadows Ken idly wondered how he could kill 20 people and not think twice about it but working on the Nomu still gave him occasional nightmares.
As he traveled down the stairs using the shadows he came across the first group of people. As he emerged from the shadows one sickle quickly embedded itself into the gut of one as his other hand grabbed several needles and threw them.
The war had begun and it was time to deliver a message. All who join All for One,death only awaits.
