Wedding Bells

The Man

July 1st, 22:00.
Unknown location.

The fighter had been injected a serum that would temporarily emulate the effects of fire and strength Quirks and was viciously attacking the impenetrable body of the League of Villains' creature with flaming punches. However, the new Nomu was more than just a vessel of multiple Quirk User's DNAs and he would absorbe the punishment with ease.

"Is it not magnificent?" the blue haired young man asked in his always sinister voice, compulsively scratching his neck. 

The leader of the League was marveled by his own creation, but his American guest was just watching the fight from out of the steel cage moving none of his monstrous muscles. Wearing a suit for a business meeting wasn't making the criminal leader less intimidating. Tomura Shigaraki estimated he was as tall as Endeavor and All Might on his prime and weighted more than three hundred pounds of pure muscle, not to mention he always wore that red and black mask that only let see a long, thin and greasy black hair, as well as a pair of cold grey eyes.

He was an unknown villain in Japan, but in most of America his name was a terror to behold for criminals and heroes alike. Not much was known about his past, but it was said he was a fearsome wrestler himself before taking control of more than half of the mobs dedicated to illegal matches, where criminals, people fallen from grace and even Quirkless nobodies were given to chance to make something out of their miserable lives. Since then he acted mostly in the shadows and people rarely referred to him for his villain's name, but simply call him "The Man". Even his Quirk was a mystery for those who weren't close enough. But not for Shigaraki anymore. They had a project in common and that level of trust was required to carry it out.

"The Man is pleased with the results of the serum" his interpreter told Shigaraki with robotic courtesy. "You are indeed a man of word, Mr Shigaraki. But he is still upset for what happened in Monterrey".

"My apologies for hiding some information" Shigaraki allowed himself to smile behind the human hand that covered his face. "But I assure everything is coming according to plan. All we need is two more things. The ones I told you".

"If we are correct, one of them is in Shield's hands".

"And Shield will bring it here in less than a week" Shigaraki knew he was coming to a well known event where he would have all necessary. The chance was unique and the risks less than apparent thanks to his hard work. Oh yes, the world was not going to miss one single detail.

"We have studied the details of the operation. May we know why then... and there?" the interpreter inquired as the fight continued. The serum had also envolved the body of the Nomu in blue flames and the monster was starting to counter more fiercely.

Shigaraki knew they wouldn't decline his offer. "Our visions are similar in many aspects, though I consider mine... slightly more ambitious. But the way a plan is carried out is as essential as the plan itself. I need to make sure that every person in this rotten society, hero and villain, civilian and criminal, sees, fears and understands what I am about to build. Besides, those two things will be there at the same time."

"Not to mention the League of Villains must send its congratulations to the happy couple..."

To him, the so called "The Man" was a well-off mobster who would never actually understand his motivations, but these were businesses. All For One didn't become the most feared man in Japan with just a few loyal followers. Speaking of which, Shigaraki hadn't forgotten about the members of the League in jail. The ones who hadn't forgotten about him and his vision either.

"And you are asking The Man to put his own men at risk in a place full of heroes..."

"Who said nothing about risking his twisted wrestlers? That is why I wanted to show you this" Shigaraki pointed to the new Nomu. The Man's wrestler had lived up to the mob's reputation but now he was at the floor taking a painful beating. "This creature was originally thought to kill All Might" Such a shame he lost all his power seven years ago. Shigaraki had dreamt with that moment so many times...
