(Just a quick lil' thing in advance just to know if I should do the sketches
Should I do a Vilgax Backstory in Ben's Vilgax visions?
Cuz if I thought to do the visions thing sooner I would have done one
like don't worry it's not some "Oh Vilgax is just misunderstood" the guy would burn down an orphanage to warm up his fingers, Vilgax is still VERY much a bad person
just think it would be nice to put some background to the monster, so should I do it before or after Vilgax appears?
cuz at the least Ben will see how the opening of Classic series played out in this story, just wonder if I should do build up to it or not.
that's it.... lets get on with the story)
Back at Jakku Hospital the heroes continue to eliminate the Nomu and Xenomu.
meanwhile Mirko fights off the High-end nomu.
Endeavour sprints down the hallway seeing Crust struggling to push back the fat Nomu, his regeneration making it impossible to cut past him.
Aizawa arrives on the scene to use erasure allowing the heroes to rip through the Nomu's blubber and make a path to Mirko.
Mirko however is not in the greatest shape
Down an arm and still outnumbered 1 to 3 she fiercely holds her ground.
she expertly dodges each attack using her superior agility to her advantage, however as the fights gone on the Highends appear to have notices Mirko's patterns and are able to avoid her attacks as well.
seeing the Nomu have adapted to her she turns her focus to Shigaraki and Dr. Garaki.
"You're going to the professor again?" Ribby questions. "Stupid woman."
he throws his headtail at Mirko, the attack ripping through her side as the elephant Nomu grabs her hair and the Female bites her calf.
Mirko unleashes a cry of fury as she continues on her way ripping out her own hair and a chunk of her leg.
like an escaping Rabbit Mirko is able to get through so long as she focuses on running.
if she's going to die then she'll die after she achieves her goal.
she makes it to the incubation room where Garaki is trying to get Shigaraki ready.
Mirko lunges into the air attempting a downward kick.
"Is that it?!" Mirko roars as she sees Shigaraki.
Garaki screams out in fear as tears stream down his face yet his gaze is still fixated on the container, as a massive hand slowly wraps its fingers around the side of its prison
But before she can attack a bone tendril rips through her shoulder and impales her leg.
"Cramped..." Ribby growls as he struggles to pull himself through the tubes and wires leading into the room.
Endeavor arrives punching Ribby into the dirt allowing Mirko to pull herself free at the cost of the skin on her right heel.
the other heroes arrive as Present Mic manages to disorient the Nomu as crust shield bashes the elephant Nomu.
a layer of bone stops Endeavor from being able to bash in Ribby's brain as he attempts to burn through.
meanwhile Mirko manages to plant her heel on shigaraki's incubation tank.
she pushes through as the glass begins to crack
"St-Stop her!!!!" Garaki cries out towards something to the side of Mirko.
"Hun....gry....." the 14 foot tall towering creature murmurs as it grabs Mirko by the skull
along with this Ribby had manages to find an opening in Endeavour and shot 2 bone spikes into Mirko's body skewering her remaining arm and her left thigh.
the furious Mirko screams through the pain as she bites down on the mysterious creature's finger and breaks through the glass.
its flesh was tough, tough than anything else Mirko's bitten.
"LUNA ARC!"
fluid spills as Ribby pulls Mirko back stopping her from completely destroying the tank.
Mirko is sent flying knocking Endeavour off of the nomu.
"Con....sume...." the creature mutters as Mirko is yanked out of its weakened grasp.
that's when it sees Ribby, it grabs one of the left over bone tendrils and yanks him into the incubation room.
"What the Hell're you Do--"
"Num-Nums! " the monster exclaims grabbing Ribby by the face. "Need..... Energy...."
Ribby desperately fights back trying to stab into the creature, the attacks barely even scratching its skin revealing blue crystalline bone under the flesh.
the creatures flesh heals as it bites down onto Ribby's head.
"NO!" Garaki cries out as the monster unhinges his jaw and begins to swallow the rest.
Endeavour caught Mirko and placed her on the ground.
now that the adrenaline is wearing off she's rendered immobile from her injured as she lies there struggling to breathe.
"I'll cauterize the wounds. Bear it." Endeavour tells her as he puts a hotrod piece of cloth in her mouth to bite down on.
Mirko groans in agony as Endeavour uses his flames to stop the bleeding.
The heroes continue to fight off the Nomu as the creature rips his way through the tubes.
"Ani.... mo.... Where is An-Animo?..." it whimpers. "M-Must.... Eat..... Animo... Ki-Kill.... Me.... Animo... Kill.... Consume.... ME....."
it's body is visible in the light, a tall malnourished creature.
while its ribs are visible that doesn't take away from just how large and imposing it is.
but by far the most visually disturbing part of its appearance is the constant morphing of its body paired with its quiet sobs of pain.
one second it appears to have features from Heatblast and Fourarms, the next it's Jetray and Painsaw.
sometimes it's not even recognizable from how it looked just a few moments ago.
it waddles around like a sleepy toddler, knocking over vats and tables.
Eraserhead sees the monster and retrains it with his scarf and tries to erase its quirks.
not even remotely phased it continues walking dragging Eraserhead around looking for his creator.
"This thing.... isn't even effected by erasure? and on top of that it's strong enough that I'm not even holding it back."
Eraserhead releases his hold on the creature to keep his hold on the other two Nomu.
he sends X-Less and Present Mic ahead to finish off Shigaraki.
however as they run this seems to trigger the monster as it lunges at the two.
"YOU!.... Kill.... Me...." it stutters before crust throws some plating into its neck.
Present Mic and X-less rush past him as he turns his attention to Crust.
"BERTY.... CAN DO TOO!!! "
Berty slams his hands down creating a wave of Cannonbolt's shelling creating a barrier which is pushed towards the heroes .
ANIMO'S FILES: Codename, BERTY-30, My Mona Lisa, my canvas, the culmination of 6 months of endless experimentation, near fatal doses of Trigger for a man of my age.... and love. He keeps insisting he wants to "Rip out my guts and eat it like spaghetti" but I know that's just how he shows he cares. So much DNA into this one specimen, only a 1 in a million body could have withstood it. My Masterpiece, the Bane of that Accursed Benjamin! It has 30 delicious DNA samples our new ally, Albedo has given me as a reward for my service, His body however is just as unstable as his mind, the poor thing won't even be able to use stinkfly all the time.
Garaki frantically tries to get his destroyed machinery to work.
"The Alien DNA and Quirks haven't meshed yet, they're still conflicting with one another, He'll be unable to control his own power with a war inside his body!" he exclaims. "But It'll have to do!"
Present Mic runs down the hall before unleashing an attack before Garaki can finish up waking up Shigaraki.
Shigaraki's body falls limp and collapses to the floor as Present Mic smashes his fist across Garaki's face to "Make sure he's not a double." and totally not because the guy turned one of his childhood friends into the Nomu, Kurogiri.
X-Less walks over to Shigaraki checking his vitals.
"His heart stopped." he states.
"He's in suspended animation to reduce the burden on his body during the transfer." Garaki corrects. "That receptacle is to accelerate an maintain the transfer and also contains the device to revive him...!"
tears roll down Garaki's face as he cries.
"This is what I was living for... IT'S OVER! ITS ALL OVER! The dream of the Lord of Evil.... And my Dream...."
Present Mic gives absolutely no shits as he picks up the doctor and is determined to have him call off the remaining Nomu.
"Berty would only Listen to Animo..." Garaki whimpers. "I can't do anything to him..."
"THAN GET THE OTHER NOMU TO KILL IT FOR US, KAY?!" Present mic snaps back.
"X-Less, Take care of Shigaraki!"
"On it!" X-Less responds as he prepares to cuff the lifeless body of Tomura Shigaraki.
However inside of Shigaraki's body his consciousness is in a pale while abyss.
pieces of debris and severed hands float through the void as he stands on a drifting platform.
he hears a familiar voice ring in his ear.
"Dad says what he says, but it'll be okay!" a vision of Shigaraki's older sister, Hana Shimura consoles. "I'm cheering you on, Tenko!"
he looks to his other side to see another vision of his sister.
she's standing in their old backyard, tears streaming down her face.
"Look.... I'm sorry.... I didn't mean it. I'm the one who said it was a secret and showed it to you..."
"Oh...." Shigaraki sighs, responding to the vision. "I don't care about that anymore."
"Hey Tenko." a warm voice calls out. "Do you still want to be a hero?"
Shigaraki turns to see a giant projection of his mother.
She's holding the ointment she used to always rub on him as a kid to relieve his itching.
"We don't know what you're allergic to. It sucks, huh?"
"I'm fine now, Mom." Shigaraki, now a child again, responds.
the calm fades however as he hears a familiarly opressive voice
"T̵̢̛̠͚̳͑̎̈́̒̂̐̇̔̈́̎́͆͛͘̚͝͝E̴̩̼̤̍̋̓̀͌͂̓N̷̛̦̗̪̤͓̐̐̂̐̍̒̈́̽̔͜͜͠ͅĶ̷̨̡̨̨̝͍̘̝͓̳̀́̊̑͛̑͆̉̽̐͜͜͠͝͝O̷̟̭̖̻͕̅̄̓͐̑̚!!!"
Shigaraki turns to see the looming figure of his Father
"YOU WENT INTO MY STUDY, DIDN'T YOU?! " he growls.
Shigaraki regains his lighter hair as he stares at his father, a hate filled smirk on his face.
the giant tries to grab him only to be destroyed with a single touch from the child.
pure ecstasy fills his body as he watches his father die again.
his body forms into a pathway leading to his final vision.
The final vision he sees is that of All For One, his master.
Red and black mist shrouds his face as she stands in an ink black void.
"Tomura..." he calls out.
"Master!" Shigaraki responds. You look like Kurogiri now."
"Come here." All For One beckons as he holds out his arms reassuringly
Shigaraki begins to approach his master
However as he closes the distance the visions of his family reach out to grab him.
the hold him back begging him not to go with All For One.
"Stop...." Shigaraki softly commands.
as he does his father and paternal grandmother join in to try and stop him.
Shigaraki grasps his father's wrist causing all 6 to decay and fade away.
"Don't.... Reject me anymore."
Shigaraki walks into his Master being enveloped by All For One's form.
back in the real work a loose wire sparks conducting through the spilled fluid and sending a jolt into Shigaraki's body.
his body spasms as X-Less stares in disbelief.
as Shigaraki awakens his eye twitches for a second before he comes to full consciousness.
The laser Eye hero stares at the reawakened successor of evil, Tomura Shigaraki.
the first thing he does is curl up.
"It's cold...." he moans, Shivering.
