Legionnaire - Chapter 28

Now Nezu may be UA’s Principal but this family was also arrogant beyond doubts. They had consecutively produced for three generations the best set of powers a hero could have.

In a sense they can be said to be a researcher or scientific and intellectual family. They had already researched on the best set of powers. Kai was also an experiment in a way.

His father had the Tremendous Strength Quirk and his mother a Superspeed Quirk. They had thought that the offspring would either inherit one or both quirks. If both quirks had been successfully inherited then he would come out as a weakened version of Juggernaut.

But it was naught for the Gene could not stabilise and his mother had to birth him prem.a.t.u.r.ely. It was in a way a huge loss of time and money. But they held hope that he would exhibit both powers or at least one once he was four.

But when it rains it also pours. He had no quirk. His father started suspecting his mother of a.d.u.l.tery since Kai looked nothing like his father. Kai’s father had Gold Hair and Ruby coloured eyes. His mother had White Hair and Blue eyes.

Then Kai came about who did not match both of them with his Black Hair and Gold eyes. It was a phenomenon that was disturbing for his parents. They could not even claim that he was their youngest son.

So they held hope that it was possible that the child was exchanged after birth, like it happens in so many dramas. But the DNA tests concluded that he really was their child.

The mother finally despaired but she was steadfast and was an intellectual. So she thought that maybe there was something wrong. Maybe just maybe this was someone maliciously planning and trying to affect her privilege. So she sent people to fish out information.

His girlfriend was also her Spy. It was to at least keep him alive until she found what happened. Also to make him progress she started the use of her second quirk ‘Emotion Brainwash’. With this before the spy could fall in love, she wiped her clean.

This third quirk was also why his Gene was unstable and forcefully stopped progress. So she started tormenting her child from the shadows in a bid to urge his Gene to forcefully stabilise.

But she overestimated her child and broke him. She could only sigh at this in dissapointment and worked on hunting down the perpetrators of his makeover of hair and eye colour.

Yes this was done by a quirk. Mysterious right, in how quirks manifest and how they function. But no matter what she did she could not find the perpetrator and then news came.

News came that Kai was accepted in UA by Nezu and also that he was a genius. The whole family was in an uproar. That idiotic trash could actually reach UA was everyone’s thought.

Expectations were never meant to be fullfilled in ways people always like to plan. Hunters would make traps but only hope for prey not plan it to fall there.

Kai was always a dissapointment. Imagine their faces when they see Nezu talking with extreme caution about their youngest. It was as if the smartest hero was a bit scared of that child.

Its not really Nezu’s fault, he has after all never experienced anything beyond Nation level threats. Those happen dime a dozen in Marvel Universe. Every villain dreams of planetary conquest and some even go beyond and reach universal.

Nezu sat there with an extremely cautious and serious face as he said “Kai is an extremely dangerous factor. I had to come and discuss his future with you his parents”.

Is that retard really dangerous. The last time he was dangerous was when he tried hitting a plushie. Nezu looks and understands the fact that Kai has recently emerged as a dangerous factor.

“So you guys had no clue”.

What in the nine pits of hell is this rat talking about is the only thing in mind when they compare their knowledge of Kai with Nezu’s.

Nezu then says in a grave tone “We also thought the same way. But after meeting him i can guarantee that he was not of sound mind”.

“Wait a minute, are we really talking about Kai. Is he really as dangerous as you say. It is making me a bit confused. We know our youngest best”. The father speaks in an unsure tone.

Then the mother speaks “The last thing he tried to hurt was a plushie and he even failed miserably at that”. Nezu looks confused ‘a plushie’.

The mother goes on to explain “It was to stress his mind. Stress makes late bloomers go wild”. Nezu can only nod with helplessness. It happens many a times that a persons stress results in explosive use and gaining of quirks.

Many late bloomers acquire their quirk after going through this process. Especially Kai who is not only an amalgamation of one, two or three quirks but four different sets. Yes four different sets.

Heaven always sets trials for hidden geniuses. Those who rise and those who sink are all heavily dependant on how one scores.

This family earns an even reputation. Good ones and Bad ones, though the bad ones are never noticed. It is still a family that is proud of its venture in quirk study. It is after all the forefront in that regard.

The whole world accepts quirks and their differences but this family believes in Darwins Theory very whole heartedly. As such they extract DNA sequences and commence selective breeding with a cultish mindset.

The government turns a blind eye because their research on the topic actually yields results compared to others. This research has helped a lot in shaping out the next generation of heroes.

Endeavour was also part of it, but alas he disregarded the fact that emotions are an essential ingredient for the safety of childbirth. As such all his children were born pitifully.

Even Todoriki isn’t considered perfect by their standards. A perfect combination of the quirks would result in Condensed Fire. Fire so hot, yet malleable and solid to touch.

Nezu then says “If his DNA sequence wasn’t so meshed up, maybe he would have displayed an amazing quirk. One that would cover all his weaknesses”.

This time it was the parents turn to be surprised. So the father speaks out “Are you sure ?”. Nezu can see a glimpse of the plan that was being implemented in this house and it could be described in one word ‘Misinformation’.

Golden hair then starts fluttering “So I am being lied by my subordinates”. Then with an extremely callous look in his eyes he says “Cleansing must be commenced immediately”.

The mother was even more scarier as her head turned down and creepily smiled. Nezu could only keep his shivers in and try to escape this god forsaken mad institute. Now he could take a guess on how Kai’s mind came about.

‘Sigh i will have to ask the government to keep this whole family under observation’. They are a scary bunch. With that Nezu could no longer stay to discuss any more pleasantries.

But before going he asked “Are you guys ever afraid ?”. This was a honest question from his side. After all he did face Pandora’s box and still did not falter.

The father then said “Never”. It was more of a declaration of his will than anything else. If he wasnt one of the best then everybody would try to pry into his research.

But he was strong, a hidden one though. Not all strong people like to enter the rankings set by the government. Most don’t even remember the legends of the Golden Age of Quirks.

Nezu then calmly says while turning around “One day you will be”. Just like how the father replied, this was more of a declaration.

Nezu could not say who was more dangerous the Lion Cub or the Lion King. But he was sure that Kai was no Lion Cub. He was the abyss.

You could look at him and say he was the most ordinary. That is until his thoughts leak out of him. Just like an enticing treat he calls in his prey making everyone crave more, what it was nobody knew.

The father was sure he wouldn’t be afraid no matter what so he could not understand Nezu’s thoughts. He just harrumped and went on to start commencing the cleansing.

The mother was more down to earth and tried thinking of all the possibilities that could actually make that stupid husband of hers scared.

When she thought of that, she felt that something very farfetched would have to be done to actually scare him. He was that unafraid. A man afraid of consequences would never dive the pond he was swimming in.

Meanwhile in the workshop 1 boy was exercising whilst researching electromagnetic fields inside his mind. “So abundant yet so unnoticed. It is just like Dark Matter, but even better it is required in everything” he was speaking to himself.

Saying so he states to no one “I guess i know what to do next”. Then as if thunder sparkled around his body. It brigthened and his hair fluttered and then lightning ran across his body.

Suddenly as if swept by an unknown force all mettalic items are attracted to his body. The items near him at speeds that cause huge amounts of friction in the air.

But he was controlling them at such ridiculous levels that he was like a planet surrounded by asteroids full of metals. Then as if nothing had ever happened all items were put back at their intial positions.

He then looks unsatisfied but nonetheless mumbles “Commencing the Space-Time equipment plan”. He starts taking apart parts and then adding, removing, trying but it can be seen that he is having a hard time.

The Space-Time equipment has been created but he actually scrunches up his face in disgust. He is a perfectionist but his expectations are too high. The Space-Time equipment was only 25 cubic meters.

Especially when he is delving in knowledge which even his original universe seemed to lack aspects of it. There are many places where such knowledge could be found. But he never needed it after all he could create universes.

Why would he need some knowledge about some measly laws of Space and Time. He regrets never acc.u.mulating said knowledge before.

Legion believes that everything can be taken away. There is nothing that remains absolute, not even his so called reality warping. He himself can think of dozens of scenarios where he can be killed.

That is also the reason why he hates Ess.e.x with zeal. He is only one of the few people who can shut down his mutation.That is why he ensures that he doesn’t leave himself free with any weakness.

His soul could be said to be the most unstable. He anchored it to reality after learning enough about the soul. He was always trying to stay a step ahead.

It was to the point that he made plot have a hard time against him. He was trying to be perfect and that was his shortcoming. He was too perfect and when you don’t have anymore goals you simply cease to try existing.

A human drives himself because he is imperfect and tries to learn everything and be good at everything. Everybody fails miserably at this endeavour. But Legion was already creating universes by the time people his age were looking for goals in life.

So to feel that spark of existence in him. He wants to experience imperfection. A time without any use of his actual powers. Most of all he treats it as a vacation. Since he can destroy the universe anytime.
