The Emperor's Dragon: Extras and Omakes

Alternate Scene

Remember back in Nestling, where All Might has a cork board to track All For One? This is a possible situation where All For One is a bit more involved and aware of the board and what he might think of it. I wrote this before finding out about the prior users of OFA so the details are wrong but the situation is important.

The Emperor's Dragon
Possible Additional Scene

For all that the holders of One For All thought that their encounters with All For One were random, they were carefully choreographed. All For One did not allow them close to him until he was good and ready, and then, they generally left his presence in several pieces. Such was the fate of those who kept his Brother's quirk from him. He gave them all the chance to give it back to him after all.

As such, All For One kept track of the holders of One For All, and their attempts to find him, which is why he was standing looking at a pin board the current holder, a hero by the name of Toshinori Yagi had made. It hadn't even been a chore to gain access. Really, operational security was not Yagi's forte. All he'd done was request clearances from the cleaning company. which admittedly he did own, and they were given to him. People always forgot to check what their menials had access to.

All For One shook his head. He resisted the urge to tut. It would be a wonder if this All Might actually found him if this was his level of skill!

He looked back at the board, letting his eyes trace over the timeline. Bits of it were correct. Those historic events that everyone knew about but... All For One sighed. It was just so wrong... and did they truly not know what he was doing at the moment?

He'd admit to being flattered about that. He routinely hid his operations but confirmation that such measures were working was always nice. All For One stepped up to the board. I, II and III were in the correct places. He'd confronted his brother but he hadn't realised then that the quirk he'd created with his brother was transferrable so II had a while to operate.

IV was a disappointment. There should have been no reason for One For All to be passed on so quickly. All For One looked around, and spotted what he was after. The room was sparsely equipped but there was some stationary and several pens, All Might themed off course. He picked up a small pad of sticky notes and the least offensive pen before turning back to the board.

Now what should he tell this current holder of One For All? The answer was easy. Something of the truth about each of the previous holders.

After all, he couldn't expect the current holder to know the truth, unless he told them.

"Mirai?"

"Yes?"

"Did you move anything on the board?" Toshinori asked into his phone.

"No."

"Okay," the Number One Hero replied before he hung up. He looked back at the board he was using to track All For One.

It was different. The number representing the holders of One For All had been moved and there were extra notes on them. He shivered and looked around the room. Everything else see- No. The pens were all destroyed. Each of them was snapped, and the one that had a bobble head was decapitated.

He swallowed and made sure the door was locked behind him. Yagi knew what he should be doing now. He should be getting forensics into here. He should be checking that there was no bomb and that nothing was poisoned but it didn't feel right. Why would he change the board if he didn't want it read?

The Number One Hero walked up to his tracking board. Curiosity made him look at the note under VIII first. The handwriting was neat and the small piece of paper was full.
