The Scarlet Thieves

How unexpected!

Just a real quick authors note at the beginning of this, if a notification about this chapter popped up for you.....I published this chapter by mistake and unpublished it as fast as I could. Sorry for the inconvinience!

3rd Person PoV, Grimmchild's Cell

Grimmchild had been imprisoned for a few days now and, in his opnion, it wasn't as bad as most people think. Sure the curfew was annyoing, so was the fact that he wasn't allowed to use any of his abilities, but he managed. His good manners were noticed by many guards, it was a welcome change for them as well.

It was the start of a new day but things surely wouldn't be as Grimmchild was used to. It was the basic routine, wake up at 5:00 am, get breakfast till 5:30, then 2 hours of free time. That's were things got interesting for the scarlet eyed boy. He was approached by a guard, which was unusual as it is. The guards tended to avoid contact with the prisoners, but that's not what matters right now.

"Grimmchild, someone has requested to see you. I was tasked with bringing you to him." the heavily armored man said, with a serious tone. He surely expected struggle from Grimmchild but, to his surprise, Grimmchild simply nodded his head and followed.

The walk was rather uneventful, just a long march of silence. At the end they reached a room that could've been straight out of a detective movie. A table, one chair on each side and a mirror, which, Grimmchild knew, was a one-way window. The guard told Grimmchild to sit down in the chair. The boy obeyed and just waited. It didn't take long before the door opened, revealing...All Might!

Grimmchild PoV

Wow, I get to meet All Might again, this should beat the melancholy out of my day. I know I look like a rational and calm person but even I need some action from time to time. Anyway, I just sat there, waiting for whatever he had in mind. He then opned his mouth and, with his usual booming voice, began to speak.

"Young Gakuto, it is great to see you again!" All Might basically yelled.

"Actually, All Might, my name isn't Gakuto. I don't really have a name besides...well Grimmchild." I quickly corrected him. The tall man seemed baffeled but continued to speak none the less.

"Well then Grimmchild, I am here toask you a few queations and you will awnser them truthfully." His request, well, more like command, sounded reasonable enough.

"Alright, I will answer to the best of my abilities." I said, and with that, questioning began.

"First question: What is the goal of you and the Grimm Troupe? What are you trying to accomplish?

"Our goal? We wish to rid the world of unfairness. You, of all people, should know that." was my awnser.

"My boy, what you do is stealing. How do you plan to create a fair world, when you take what isn't rightfully yours?" That question....To be honest, I felt a little mad that he asked that. I tried to stay calm and responded.

"Then answer this, All Might: The world is filled with civilians that commit crimes too. The banks we took from were owned by such. Some commited tax evasion, others had rape their name. Do you think it's fair that these people are rich, that these people have power?" It looked like he needed to process that but soon after begn to speak again. I also could swear I heard gasps from the mirror.

"So, if I get what you're trying to tell me, the Grimm Troupe steals from banks that are owned by criminals, that are missed by us?" Surprisingly he got it.

"It's exactly that, All Might. I know that our methods are a little....strange, but I assure you, most of the money is going to people who need it. We are only trying to make this world a better place and we never killed anyone." Ok that last part was a lie but Nightmare is solely to blame for that one corpse.

"While your goal is a noble one, stealing is the wrong way, young bo-" He stopped mid sentence and held a hand to his ear. "Hmm? Oh, yes of course sir, I will tell him immediatly!" Ok...what is he going to tell me?

Young Grimmchild, I will have to leave now but my boss wants to talk to you as well!" His boss? I didn't even know All Might had a boss!

"Uhm...of course All Might, have a good rest of your day." I tried to stay calm but meeting All Might's boss is kinda unnerving.

All Might left the room and I waited anxiously for his boss to enter. The door opened again, only to reveal....nothing? Ok that's weird, how could the door ha-

"Hello there Grimmchild!" I looked towards the voice and saw a rat, dog, bear....thing. Am I starting to get crazy? Before I could even open my mouth it began to speak again.

"My name is Nezu, am I rat? Or a dog? Or maybe a bear? Who knows! But what everyone knows is that I am the principal of UA High School! Pleasure to meet you." What?! That'S UAs principal? Ok....strange but ok.

"W-well it's a pleasure to meet you too, Mr. Nezu. Why do you want to talk to me?"

"Straight to the point, I see. I come to you with an offer! While the Grimm Troupe has honorable motives, their ways are wrong. I wish to change that. I want you, Grimmchild, to enroll in my academy! We will make you a hero! A hero who can change the world!"

"Wait a second...You want ME, a villain, to join your school? Are you sure about that?"

"Of course I am! I wouldn't call you a real villain either. To be honest, I never did. It always seemed like you had ulterior motives. Your calling cards and robberies suggested that too. You have good intentions but are on the wrong side of the law. I'm certain we can bring your intentions over to the right side of the law!" That guy was serious...

"Ok but, if I agree, I would like to ask a question. Where will I live?" I seriously needed to know that.

"Do not worry about that, I already have a plan. We are expecting a new student. Since he doesn't have any relatives here in Japan, we built a small dormitory for them. Until this moment I wasn't sure, if you would accept my offer but I requested 2 rooms to be built. All necessities for a comfortable, homey feeling are covered. If you decide to enroll, you will live there. It will make surveillance of your activities easier too. Basically, you will live on school grounds. A few rules will be applied just for you. I hope you understand that we do this for the safety of our students."

Wow...that was a LOT to take in. All in all the offer sounded tempting but I wasn't too sure about it. I did what I usually do in such situations, I listened to the Scarlet Flame burning within me. After a few seconds of silence I could hear it's whisper. Accept it said. Grimm taught me to listen to the Scarlet Flame,as it only had good advice and intentions.

"Well in this case, Mr Nezu, I would like to accept your offer." Nezus smile seemed to get a little wider.

"Very well then Grimmchild, I will make sure you are brought to UA this evening. Until then, have a nice day." I think I'm starting to like this guy.

 Timeskip to evening

Well, it's time to leave. I bid goodbye to the guards and led to a black car by Nezu. Now it's time for me to begin life at UA!
