The Epic of Leviathan

Chapter 44: I Wanted To Be Here... [edited]



[POV Reo]

While the whole Japan was going crazy with the news of the recent attack on UA students, I lay here making plans for All For One's demise. It's kind of amusing if you think it like that.

Now, the others will be just cannon fodder for me, but the main problem will be All For One with his insane amount of Quirks. Now, let's make a mental note on the Quirks he owns...

1) All For One (obviously)

2) Air Walk (bastard can fly so can I)

3) Air Cannon (dangerous, but nothing my Aegis Shield can't handle)

4) Forced Quirk Activation (I have to take out Kurogiri first, it's easy. Metal neck brace.)

5) Hypertrophy (can't let him hit me with that)

6) Impact Recoil (well I gotta be careful with that)

7) Infrared (pretty useless)

8) Life Force (now, this is golden. This is definitely going to make it quite difficult for me to send him to the next great adventure. It would also stop me from exploding his heart using the iron in his blood)

9) Multiplier (can make multiple arms, useless in long range combat)

10) Rivet (not much known but useless in long range combat)

11) Rivet Stab (I honestly don't want to be pierced by that... hell that sounded gay... ugh!!)

12) Spearlike Bones (make bone spears appear on your arm or whatever, useless in long range combat)

13) Springlike Limbs (if he wants to use that he must get closer which ain't happening)

14) Super Regeneration (I wonder if I pop his brain, would it heal?)

15) Warping (now, this one is the most problematic Quirk, he can always run away if his life is in danger which is obviously going to be. I may not be able to kill him by using his blood but I can still use that cause him pain, and I mean immense pain. So, if he tries warping I gurgle his blood)

Well, that seems to be it, assuming Ragdoll wasn't caught after I handed her back to her group. Dealing with All For One won't be easy like Magne or Spinner. I would go on a limb and say that this would be a full-blown battle and I also can't expect to deal with him in one blow... that guy is like a fucking cockroach.

[In Yaoyorozu Compound]

Nemuri and Momo had finally reached the Yaoyorozu compound. They were completely silent throughout the whole ride.

Nemuri parked her car and entered the house following Momo's lead. Momo was immediately hugged by her mother.

"Staff from UA called, we heard what happened..." Momo's father spoke in a solemn voice remembering when they received the call and the news broke out in their house.

It was really awful for them, Reo's mom broke down in tears and cried herself to sleep only a while ago. Reo's father was also worried sick but he knew that he had to be strong. He carried his wife to their house after his mother had fallen asleep.

"Miss Kayama, thank you for escorting our daughter home" Momo's father thanked Nemuri.

"It... it was my duty" Nemuri said.

"Mom, Dad, if you don't mind can she stay here for tonight?" Momo finally spoke for the first time leaving her mom's embrace. They didn't think much about Momo's question and immediately nodded their heads in agreement.

"I will be in my room then, sensei, please follow me" Momo said and headed towards her room with Nemuri following her.

Momo's mom was still worried but was assured by her husband. "We need to let her be, she is a strong girl" Momo's father said to her wife

"Yes dear" Momo's mom replied.

Finally reaching her room, Momo closed the door while Nemuri pulled a chair and sat down. "Now speak" Nemuri said looking at Momo.

"I think that Reo allowed himself to get caught" Momo said while sitting on the bed across Nemuri.

"Why would he do that?" Nemuri's voice was low, like a whisper. She can't even imagine why would someone allow themselves to get caught by the villains. But Momo clearly heard her because the room was completely silent.

"I will tell you but you need to promise me that you won't relay this to the police or Hero Association or any authority" Momo said looking at Nemuri intently.

Nemuri kept silent for a few seconds, after releasing a sigh she spoke "I promise that I won't tell anyone".

Momo nodded her head "I think he wants to kill All For One".

Nemuri's face was immediately filled with fear and then worry. As a Pro-Hero and a UA Staff she obviously knew who that was. But seeing how calm Momo was, she forcefully calmed down herself.

"You don't know the extent to Reo's power, no one does except me and maybe Mirko. There is no way that he couldn't have stopped the villains from taking him unless he allowed himself to be taken" Momo said. Momo didn't know if she should reveal Reo's secret mission from God to Nemuri or not. Momo didn't speak for a few moments and decided to take a leap of faith.

"Reo received this mission from God" As soon as Momo finished saying that Nemuri's eyes became glazed. 'She must be getting the message from God' Momo thought and calmly sat where she was.

After a few moments, Nemuri's eyes became normal and she looked at Momo. "Wow... so you agreed too, right? I don't want to be the only one with him going to other worlds" Nemuri spoke forgetting all her worries for a moment.

"Of course I would now, let's get some sleep it has been a long day" Momo said to Nemuri, who simply nodded her head in agreement. Both of them were still worried but they placed their trust in Reo. Momo handed Nemuri an oversized shirt, Nemuri didn't even bother to enter the bathroom and stripped bare right in front of Momo who was bewildered due to Nemuri's habits.

When both of them finally finished changing Nemuri informed Nezu that she had safely escorted Momo to her house. Nezu hinted that he and the UA staff knew about her scandalous relationship but they would ignore it if they can keep it under the wraps. Hearing him Nemuri just chuckled nervously. She was also informed that the police were making up a team for Reo's rescue and she was also invited.

But neither of them knew that the team would no longer be needed. After, cutting the call Nemuri relayed everything to Momo. Both of them found themselves more connected now that they knew Reo's secret and they were also a part of it.

[POV Reo]

Ummm... getting bored. How long do I have to wait for that bastard? It has already been a few hours. Suddenly a smile appeared on my face when I felt three people come into my sensory range. It means that the guests have arrived. The glass & plastic pathway in front of me opened.

I slowly got up and looked at the three people walking towards me. All For One finally decided to show up, I must have given him a lot of problems. I have to say they are quite smart, they didn't have anything made up of metal on them... except in their blood. Well, they can't exactly take out the blood from their bodies and stay alive.

All For One was wearing a mask made up of plastic or something. Tomura... well he was still Tomura but this time he didn't have the severed arms connected to his body. Dabi wasn't present here, that's a good decision because his body was filled with metal piercings. Mr. Compress was in his usual getup.

They finally arrived in front of my cell and the door opened but no one spoke. I still had a gentle smile on my face.

"Good evening Itsuki Reo, I would have liked to say that it's nice meeting you but you did seem to have done some things which make me angry... very angry" All For One was the one who spoke in his eerie voice.

"So... what are you gonna do? Talk me to death?" I said to him in a mocking tone but he didn't react. Instead, Tomura was the one who reacted, I clearly heard teeth grinding. I could see the hot burning rage in his eyes... don't worry Tomura I will give you a lot of rage before the end of the day.

"Very funny but I won't do that... yes the killing part is correct though if it would have been up to me then I would have let you go after I was done with you. But my protege & my subordinates seem to have some grievances with you" All For One was still speaking in the same voice.

"Yeah... sure, so Man-Child how is it to live without one arm?" I mocked him again and the reaction I got from him was priceless. Hah... his face contorted in rage, I wish that I had my mobile to click some pictures, that would have been epic.

"Very brave... but useless. You must know who I am seeing your reaction after you saw me. So, you must know what I want with you... yes, your Quirk is quite intriguing. That is the reason you were brought here..." Before All For One could even finish I broke out into laughter... this seemed to get a reaction out of All For One. My reaction caused the three of them to get confused.

"Those ass wipes brought me here don't joke around. They didn't bring me here... I wanted to be here!" I declared.

"...Any other last words before you lose your Quirk?" All For One didn't believe me but Mr. Compress seemed to back away slightly. Smart man... now let's answer All For One, it's rude to keep someone waiting.

"Yes... there is too much iron in your blood... let me take care of it..."
