A Villain's Rise

Oneirology

(A/N: To save you time from looking up oneirology, it is the scientific study of dreams)

When Uraraka woke up in the familiar dream landscape she was met with the sound of Deku's silent grumbling. "Someone is angry" She commented. "Oh, you're here" Deku said with the same attitude. "Can you tell me what it is or is it a secret?" Uraraka asked. "Well, I met this Yakuza leader called Overhaul..." Deku began. "Overhaul? Don't tell me you're working with him" Uraraka interrupted. "Of course not, it's the yakuza I despise them" Deku replied. "The reason I was there was because he claimed that with some help from me, he could make a quirk destroying drug. I agreed to look at it and considered. Of course, all I wanted at the time was to see who the test subject was and if I could use them myself..." Deku explained before he was cut off by Uraraka "What did you do to Eri?" She asked. "Oh, you know about her" Deku said, slightly surprised. "Well, to make a long story short, I saved her. Right now she's sleeping in a room close to my own, well fed and her wounds taken care off" Deku explained with a fond smile.

"You kidnapped her" Uraraka said accusingly. "I saved her from the sick bastard who ran experiments on her" Deku hissed back. "You experiment on people too, turning them into nomus" Uraraka retorted. "Do you even know who I experiment on, because I'll tell you. Rapists, murderers, sex offenders, abusers and corrupt officials, that is who I experiment on. Never innocents and never children" Deku explained. "So if you and that hero agency that is investigating Overhaul could kill that bastard as quickly as possible, I'd be very pleased" He said. "You know what? I think that for once we can both agree on something" Uraraka responded.

"By the way, we should probably start talking about what we are supposed" Uraraka suggested. "Yeah we probably should. Neither of us wants this to continue" Deku said and began walking out of UA. "Where are you going?" Uraraka asked. "A place that we can use to organize what we know about these dreams" Deku answered.

Sometime later Deku walked into a back alley and stopped next to a wall and began waiving away the thin fog that still remained. "What are you looking for?" Uraraka asked. "The opening mechanism. You see, I have several bunkers spread around Japan that I made in case me and some of my followers needed to go into hiding" Deku explained as he pulled out a loose brick "They have everything you could need to either run the revolution or reboot it" he continued and pressed a button hidden behind the loose brick, making a door open in the wall. "None of them contains secret information and I have enough of them to afford losing one. So I don't care if you tell the heroes about this one" Deku said before walking in. Uraraka stood slightly stunned before following after Deku.

"Here it is" Deku said as he and Uraraka entered a room with several computers and one screen covering one of the walls. "The planning room" He stated with pride and began turning on all the equipment. "You really like to prepare" Uraraka commented. "It's always wise to have a backup plan. That's why I have several" Deku said. "How many?" Uraraka asked "Enough" Deku replied.

"Now tell me, what did All Might know about these dreams?" Deku asked and sat down in a chair next to a computer. "Well, he wasn't very happy when he found out that you knew that I was his successor" Uraraka began. "Good" Deku smirked. "But he agreed to help us ending these dreams" Uraraka said, ignoring Deku's remark. "So, what did he know?" Deku asked. "He didn't know much. He said he knew that things like this have happened with one for all before. However, that tended to be just seeing visions of the previous holders. Although, he was going to ask someone about his predecessors experience with the one for all remnants. So I might know some more next time" Uraraka explained.

"Great and I found nothing new when looking over the quirk. So I guess we..." Deku said before becoming silent. "Previous holders" he muttered. "Uraraka, while we were alone in these dreams, did you hear voices?" Deku asked. "Yes sometimes, like a group of people speaking. Although, they would always disappear before I could find them" She answered. "Great, then that means something did carry over during the transfer" Deku said and began putting up notes on the wall sized screen. "Transfer, what do you mean?" Uraraka asked. "You see, when I first tried to give myself one for all from All Might's DNA, the energy wouldn't transfer with the quirk. It seemed like the quirk only transferred the function of the quirk and not the accumulated energy when I did it. I worked around the energy problem later and just presumed that nothing else carried over, but it seems like it did" Deku explained. "Let me guess, you have to look over it again"? Uraraka asked "Yes, but now I know what to look for" Deku replied. "You know, maybe it would just be easier if you..." Uraraka began, but was cut off when she woke up. "No, it's just silly. He would never give it up" She mumbled to herself as she groggily started to get ready for the day.
