Scattered debris and flecks of blood and skin was wedged in between the debris that filled the once flourishing city. The city that once was home to the greatest heroes was now filled with despair. Ash and dust made the air thick and heavy, as it settled. A suffocating impression was put on the human nose to make them almost gag.

Musutafu, Japan now was a place of total chaos and devastation. A place now known for villains and despair.

Signs and posters littered the ground and soft sobs could be heard in buildings. What they were crying for was obvious, their family had died or worse they were going to be executed for not giving their allegiance to the one and only Deku.

A ruthless leader he was, he killed the symbol of peace and had him spiked on the tallest building in Musutafu, Japan. But that wasn't the end, no it was quite the opposite. that kill would only be one of his many examples of what would happen if you were to go against him. When U.A challenged him he stood no chance alone, so he tricked the league of villains into killing them, it led into a full massacre of heroes and villains. Those left standing we're executed on live TV. Deku always made sure his message was sent to the people.

His name sent shivers down people's backs, they all knew that they belonged to him and that they were all just pawns in his giant chessboard of the world. knowing that people would rebel against him he took the precaution of making sure everyone was under his control. If they wanted to swear allegiance to him they wore a choker that prevented them from using their quirks, this guaranteed Deku's rule would be a success without unnecessary complications appearing.

Deku also only picked a certain few that would be able to use their quirk to some extent. But to be picked they had to be completely powerless against him in rebelling but still have the strength that he lacked in. One of these unlucky few was someone known as Eiko Hoshi, she could explore dimensions and take others with her but not without a price.

Her quirk was limited to an extent of how many people she could take, without any proper schools now teaching how to use quirks she's only had Deku to practice with. So with improving her quirk, she added the ability to take one other person to another dimension.

But if there would be, say a doppelganger, such as someone who has the same genetic structure as the other person, they would merge together into one body. Both souls though would remain separate. Of course, only one soul is supposed to occupy a body or else the balance of things will be torn apart and that person will most likely die.

There's not much known about this and how it's solved there a couple of theories where the body rejects the weakest soul because it wants to survive so it chooses the strongest so he can survive but that is only one theory.

Eiko never really explored dimensions without Deku's permission which was always a no, until she found something interesting while looking at dimensions through just the portal she created.

Instantly Eiko presses a button located on her collar, since she was one of the trusted few with Deku he installed emergency buttons to contact him with. Hoshi grabbed her black jumpsuit and put it on, it instantly tightened itself into a form-fitting manner.

A plus side with laboring with Deku or well, being his special puppet was that he made sure that all outfits wouldn't get in the way of battle and would instead benefit them.

Eiko excited her apartment and hastily walked past buildings that were slowly falling apart, she could hear the cries and gunshots ringing through her ears as she turned a blind eye to them. She winced at each shot, tears terrorized to leak out but she dared not to cry. Not when on her way to see Deku, an ominous and treacherous man. Someone who had a personality that couldn't be read.

As she arrived at where Deku would meet his pawns she stopped. Her fingers shook and her whole body trembled. What would become of her if Deku finds this as useless information?

Hoshi looked up at the stairway that mocked her, almost as if the broken planks beckoned her to come to face the music that she dreaded to notice. The dust stirred up as she went up the stairs, sunlight filtering in the building. It was almost like a scene out of a movie when the world had been saved but the devastation couldn't be stopped, only that this movie didn't save the world yet.

Hoshi's boots crunched against the broken glass as she neared the top of the building, she could already see the silhouette of a man with glinting red eyes. Her trembling started again and he could feel the air turn stale and heavy.

"Eiko, what's so important that you have to talk to me? Especially right now." His words came out through gritted teeth as he raised his right arm, a smooth black glove that only went to his wrist enclosed his hand. The glove made a mechanic whirring and at the center of the glove's palm it opened up causing a black arm made out of mist shot out and grabbed Eiko's neck.

Deku was known as a quirkless villain but that didn't stop him from being the ruler of Japan. If anything it fueled his hatred more for heroes, and villains. Deku couldn't just fight with his strength alone, he needed help from a quirk. So he somehow figured how to harness a quirk and put it into a glove that on command would use it.

Eiko gasped for air as she dangled above the ground, " There's a dimension... You're apparently a hero in it!" Eiko barely managed to get the words out of her mouth. She studied Deku's face as her vision started to blacken a bit. His face changed from a snarl to a darkened one. What was he thinking?

Eiko's neck could feel her neck being released and she fell to the ground. grabbing her neck protectively she began to caress it, hoping to soothe the fiery pain. Hoshi looked up at the mastermind again, this time his darkened expression was a sinister one. His grin stretched into a sadistic smile.

"Take me there. Now!" Deku's foot tapped impatiently against the ground which was accompanied by dried up blood that stained the floors. "As you wish...." Eiko hesitantly rose from the ground, trembling. Her eye glowed a yellow with a mix of stars dotting her pupil.

A red and purple portal opened and Deku strode towards it. "Wait! You do know that you'll merge with your hero self, yes? Don't you want to take him on in your regular human body ?" Eiko exclaimed, she didn't want to let this monster in another dimension to ruin it. Especially one where he was a hero.

"I fully know the consequences my dear Eiko, you just fail to understand my games. My motive behind all of this and for that, it may be your greatest downfall in killing me." Deku's eyes glowed a crimson red as he entered the portal.

Eiko was hesitant to follow, how did he know that she loathed him? She tried so hard to make intentions of alerting him of rebels to cover up her burning hate for him, yet he knew but continued to toy with her?

She slowly followed with him, not wanting to see the outcome awaiting the poor boy on the other side of this portal.
