The Emperor's Dragon II

Quirkless Heroes

"We could just attack the Commission buildings," Twice suggested into the silence.

"That's got some possibilities," Dabi agreed, a little too eagerly.

"It does, but we'd have to do it in such a way we weren't declared terrorists," Izuku said but he was nodding. "In fact, we could do it as a couple of attacks. A warning and then something harder. The only thing is... I don't think attacking the Commission building will actually do anything."

"The symbolism," Mr Compress told him.

"That would be powerful," Izuku admitted. "I think it would make an even greater impression if we announced it first. If the heroes can't protect what is essentially their central headquarters, then how can they protect anyone else?" he asked rhetorically.

He thought about it for a few more minutes. "Though would it be enough?" Izuku asked.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't think just attacking their headquarters will be enough to get the message across. It should be obvious though. If you need a Commission to ensure public safety from something, then doesn't that suggest that something is doing it wrong?"

That got him a chuckle.

"It has to be more widespread," Izuku considered sadly. The wider a conflict, the more innocent people got dragged into it but... on the other hand, people needed to be involved to make sure things changed. It was a delicate balance. .

"We could attack parliament?"

"I think that would get us called terrorists," Izuku countered. "But it might be something we do in time," he allowed as he looked around. "Before considering that though, I think we have a bigger issue."

"Really?" Himiko asked.

Izuku nodded. He pointed at Dabi and moved his finger around as he counted. "One, two, three, four, five and six," Izuku said, pointing at himself. "Plus a few," he acknowledged. "I have no doubt we can take out a lot of heroes, but I want to see what comes after."

"Twice's quirk will help but-" he shrugged. The problem was obvious.

"We need more manpower," Mr Compress said as Izuku gave him a nod.

Izuku was watching the group so he saw the consideration on Twice's face. "I may be able to help with that," the man indicated. "Not with my quirk," he clarified.

Izuku gestured that he should continue, before handing the last of his snacks to Himiko when she looked at them. He gave her a smile. Just having her here was helping.

"How much do you know about the Yakuza?" Twice asked.

"Didn't they die out in the pre-quirk era?" Whisper asked.

"Mostly," Twice said. "But they are still around."

"So? They can't be doing anything or the Heroes would have got them," Dabi muttered.

""Probably not," Mr Compress agreed. "But they are people who would most likely want to see Heroes gone," he added.

"Do you know any of them?"

Twice nodded.

"It's definitely worth meeting them," Izuku decided. "Can you get in touch with them and organise a meeting?" he asked.

Again the blond nodded.

"Thank you," Izuku said. "There's one other thing I would like you all to think about," he added, looking around.

"What is it, Izu?"

"You all have versatile quirks and you know how to use them to best effect but if we are going to take on the Hero Public Safety Commission and all the top heroes, then we are going to need to be flexible with the way we use them. And, there are weaknesses with every quirk."
