Becoming a monster

Homeless Emperor had predicted this day would come.

Ever since he had been approached by God, he had been biding his time. But he knew God was hiding something else. Another weapon, another creature to bring armageddon, the ragnarok, the end of the world.

He glared at Zombieman. Yet again, the hero was reviving himself.

Homeless Emperor smirked. No matter how many times Zombieman brought himself back from the brink of death, he'd be there to drag him down again. Homeless Emperor himself was quite powerful. He wasn't bringing forth the end of the world, but he was still threat level Dragon. He had God's work to do.

"I bet you've never come this close to death before," Homeless Emperor taunted. "And I bet you're terrified."

Zombieman didn't respond, and continued to mend his broken body.

"Don't bother with that," Homeless Emperor waved a hand. "To be truthful... I am not the most dangerous being here. Far from it, in fact. Dying to me will be a much better fate than what God actually has in store for you heroes."

Zombieman worked his jaw as it reformed. "What do you mean?"

Homeless Emperor's expression darkened, as he appeared behind the hero.

"You'll find out," he said, his tone ominous.

Familiar green power surrounded the two. And then they were dragged through the ceiling, like puppets on a string.

It's time, Homeless Emperor thought, grinning at the sky.

...

"That's it. It's finally happening."

Ayano found Garou again. He was finally transforming into a monster, for real. His left eye was black, and his right eye was red. His clothing had spiralled around his body, like another layer of skin. A diagonal scar was slashed across his face. He grabbed his legs, fingers turning to claws. His hair had turned into horns growing out of his head.

Ayano stepped back, watching him morph, slowly and painfully losing his humanity. It was a horrifying transformation, but Ayano watched it with a blank expression. It was the transformation he had been aiming for. The transformation that would finally break the barrier between human and monster. He roared in agony, voice croaking.

"Let's go up and take them all out," Ayano told him.

Garou limped behind Ayano as she emerged from the piles of rubble. Ayano used her Yan-vision, easily locating Genos and Taro. She saw Fubuki, Itachi, Fureddo, Bang and Bomb as well. Unfortunately, none of them had been taken out like she was hoping. But that was no problem. There was still time.

Before long, Taro was behind her again, subservient as always. Ayano saw other monsters scattered around as well. Some were definitely dragon-level worthy. As well as that, she saw some unconscious S Class heroes.

She used her hand to hide a giggle. All was going to plan. She had barely needed to do anything. The Monster Association had done most of the work, just like she had hoped. There was no need to worry about the remainders, as there was still time. The last part of the plan involved Garou.

"What are you doing here, dead eyes?!"

Ayano recognised that shrill voice. She looked up, seeing Tornado of Terror herself, floating in the air with crossed arms. The esper woman was fighting a monster named Black Sperm.

It appears Tornado is going to be harder to handle than I initially believed, Ayano thought. At least she is occupied for now...

And then she noticed another woman, too. A psychotic esper, power flowing around her. The esper turned her gaze to Ayano.
