Part 26

"I never met the one who started it 'officially'. I know they were really important and couldn't be seen, so it was led by his partner, the auction holder from my first incident."

"Do you know the important person's name?"

"Yeah, Papa. Of course, that's what we had to call him. His real name was All For One."

Every hero in the room stiffened and glanced around at each other but said nothing, proving to me that he must still be a big issue to this day. Nezu spoke first.

"What did he do during that time? Have you seen what he looks like or where he was or could be right now?"

"All I know is that he was the one to start it all off. While in the womb, he gave all of us offsprings different quirks. This pressure quirk is not originally mine. Only 4 of us got bits of our parents quirks as side effects. Me obviously being one of them. That's all I know. He was never really there. The only way he could be contacted was through some tv screen, and even then, the screen was black, so we could only hear his voice. I only heard it once though, so I don't remember what he sounded like, or where he is now, I'm sorry."

Thirteen hummed. "So the quirk she and the others have aren't originally theirs, and during birth, the quirks between parents that would be passed down to the child didn't fully cooperate with this sudden new one and split to a weaker set of two quirks. Giving the term side effects. So it's basically having more than one quirk in each child."

Nezu nodded. "What did they do with all of you and the other kids in the project before the auction?"

"They trained us to fight and kill as soon as we could walk. It was like a set schedule for our lives. As soon as we were born up to 2 years old, we would be looked after. Then age 3, they would put us through physical training. If we wouldn't, or couldn't, we would be whipped, beat, or tortured to a 'light' extent until we did. As soon as we hit age 4 when we got our quirks earlier than usual, we were trained on how to fight and kill, with and without them. At five years old, we were put against each other to...what some would said, 'weed out the weak.'"

Snipe shook his head. "No. You don't mean..."

All Might looked to the ground in distaste, and grumbled. "They had you all to kill each other to see who was the most powerful."

I nodded. "We all were forced to fight all at once until there were only four of us left alive. As soon as it was just four of us, the next day, we were patched up and groomed for the auction. You know the rest after that." A silence hung in the room for a while.

Mr. Aizawa spoke again. "Why did they sell you all at the auction instead of keeping you all together to over power All Might?"

"Because, their plan was that, If All Might finds a pattern in our similar fighting styles, he would easily figure out how to defeat us. So the main buyers at the auction were leaders of villain groups, whose goal was to train us separately for several years in their styles so when we were of age, all four of us would be brought together again to kill All Might."

Midnight sighed. "They were very detailed in this plan."

I nodded. "Yes. That's what we were told before the auction started by our parents. Though, two of the kids were sold before me and were standing with their buyers in the stands. The third was in the far back of the building behind the stage still getting groomed. So when I created those explosions, and killed everyone in the auction room, I don't know if the last kid died too."

Nezu rubbed below his chin in thought. "In the files, they checked the entire area and perimeter several times and said there were only bodies in the main room where you were found. Nowhere else. So it's possible the other child is still alive. Y/n, what does this child look like?"
