The Dollmaker

14 Years Later

I put my latest acquisition in my "collection room", this one isn't all that special but at least it was pretty. It's a new "hero" who graduated from UA a year ago, from what I heard her alias was Pinky with an acid type of Quirk. Boy was she a talkative one but at least she will shut up forever. Her Quirk could be useful from time to time but from what I saw it's not all that powerful, do the Hero Commission really take anyone who is naive enough to join them? To think I wanted to be a Hero too bah ! At least I didn't come back home empty handed even though my target escaped all thanks to the damn pink alien. I put her down in a box before heading to my room, it's been 14 years now since Kurogiri brought me here and I don't regret any second of it. Grandpa was very happy to see me.

Flashback 14 year ago:

As soon as I came out of the portal, a strong pair of arms wrap themselves around my small frame, pulling me in a tight hug.

"Oof!"

"Finally you are home." A deep voice rumbles from the chest I am currently pressed against. I look up at the man I presume is my grandfather, he's wearing navy skull-like mask with tubes coming out of it.

"Grandfather?" I shyly ask.

"Yes sweet child, my name is Junichiro Shigaraki. Your mother Inko was my only daughter." He slowly lets me go and lift my face up to take a better look at it.
"You look just like your mother." He says fondly and ruffles my fluffy hair.
"Come Izuku, there is much that you need to know about your family." He then picks me up and takes me to another room, in that room there are a lot of tubes and medical equipments, a doctor is waiting there next to a massive seat.

"This is Dr. Kyudai Garaki, he is our scientist and keeps an eye on my health, Dr. Garaki this is my grandson Izuku."

"A pleasure to meet you my boy!" The scientist says as he helps Grandfather take off his mask, show the very scarred skin that was hiding under it. Who could do that?

"Let me ask you something Izuku. What do you think about this society?"

"What I think about it? Well..." I think about mommy and her cries for help to the police and Heroes, the looks people gave me when they heard I was "quirkless", Kacchan's betrayal and bullying.
"I hate it." I simply say.

"You hate it? And why do you you hate it child?"

"They let mommy down, they didn't help her when she begged them to arrest dad, even after they saw the bruises and cuts. They called me names after I was diagnosed quirkless. People looked at me like I was... Abnormal. My best friend rejected me... Heroes didn't save my mommy... That's why I hate it..." Grandfather simply listened to me, analyzing each of my arguments and he seems satisfied with my answer.

" And you have the right to hate them. Heroes claim they save lives when all they do is destroy others. Let's take Mount Lady for example, not long ago she defeated a Villain who was wrecking havoc in the city, she was thrown away and destroyed an entire building with her giant body. In the end she did arrest the villain but how many people got hurt because of the building? How many died because they were still in the building that was being evacuated ? Heroes don't really care about the well being of others Izuku, the people who get hurt because of their recklessness are only collateral damages thus not important." I slowly nod, seing his point. I used to admire heroes so much, especially All Might but now...
"You said you are quirkless right?"

"Well that's what the doctor said but..."

"But?"

"When dad was...hurting mommy I grabbed his arm and... When I touched his wrist he...turned into a puppet."

"What did this doctor tell you exactly?" Dr Garaki asks, I think a bit to remember.

"He said it's because I have two joints in my pinky toes instead of only one." There's long and awkward moment of silence.

"And he based himself only on that?"

"Well that and the fact that I hadn't manifest any type of Quirk before." The scientist facepalm himself so hard he almost falls backwards.

"Hasn't that idiot ever heard of late bloomers or exceptions? God! Whoever he is, he should be kicked out of his functions!" Grandfather simply nods then turn back to me.

"Izuku I need your honest opinion on what I am going to ask you." I nod and wait eagerly.
"What would you say if I tell you that I am the strongest Villain ever known?" I freeze for a second. The strongest Villain? As in All for One? The arch nemesis of All Might? My grandfather is All for One?!!

"Holy cow that's so awesome!!!"

End of flashback:

And this kids is how I found out my mom's old man is AFO. Best fucking day ever! Since then I grew up in Gramps' hideout along Tomura, this guy is just a treat, he's fun to hang out with and it's just hilarious to watch him rage on a game and then lash out on the first poor soul who dare cross his path. It falls on Twice most of the time. I made a few friends in the years, there's my favorite little vampire Toga, Dabi, Twice, Kurogiri and Tomura of course. I even made friends with Villains outside LoV such as Stain, god he is so damn fun to be around! But enough chit-chat, I have to give my report to Gramps if I want to go relax a bit and test my new doll, I knock on the door of AFO's office and wait for the permission to come in.

"Come in." I push open the door and go inside.
"How did your mission go Dollmaker?"

"Fantastically well~! The Heroes lost another one of their precious newbies on top of that~." I place down on the desk a USB key that contains the proof of my success.

"You took down Lemillion and his two little friends, I wasn't expecting any less from you my dear grandson." He smirks at me, he has put a lot of time and patience in my training in order to shape into the perfect Villain.

"I even got a bonus one~. A little newbie freshly out of UA~." I smirk.
"A little pink alien who was way too talkative. She thought she could stop me alone." I shake my head.

"Silly girl, she only got what she deserved, did she at least have an interesting Quirk?"

"She had an acid-type Quirk."

"Not very interesting then. Well at least it's one less annoying Hero." I nod in agreement.

"They really take anyone in now don't they? Heroes are a joke nowadays, Lemillion and his friends were a good fight, they almost made me sweat." I tilt my head slightly on the side.
"It was an interesting fight, I'm sure it will entertain you for a bit~."

"Your fights always entertain me Dollmaker~. You can go rest and get yourself a drink, your next target will be given to you tonight."

"oh boy I can't wait~~."
