The train where the nesr massacre of civilians had stopped in station. As soon as the doors open civilians came out rushing forward some almost getting trampled over as they scattered and run away as far as their human legs could carried them*
Kage stumble out of the train as she was covered by blood her eyes filled with deep rooted rage and rancour, It matter little to her the fresh blood that stained her now. As she tried to satisfy and replace the linger of pain thatvstil throbbed in between her legs. Even when Horrikan came out of the train its head tearing the top frame of the door as the metal screech before tearing apart.
The big brute only looked around as it walked slouched forward as it turn to look at kage, it's eyes staring at her waiting for her to be and return to base*
"You best stop looking at me before I pluck your eyes out Horrikan." Her voiced shake with unrestrained feeling of her rage as she walk forward before sinking down into the provided shadows the structure of the station gave
The sounds of sirens from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department (TMPD) were closing in around them as the wails of the siren surrounded the station
Kage remain inside the shadow as her eyes only shine
"Get moving Horrikan, no action for you." she pat out as her evident rage "Father needs no more trouble form you out here"
The brute only snorted as before letting out a bellow as it lunge upwards. Its frame disappeared with a loud crash as it burst onto the roof of the station
Kage only grumble some curses as she moved along the shadows disappearing silently as only a pool of shadows moved with monstrous speed as it used the shadows from the TMPD to shot forward underneath their cars and moved underneath them as it merge herself into the shadows of different types of shapes and sizes

The air smell of anticipaptics and medical equipment, along with the faint sound of personal in the background as they tend to the unfortunate souls that got themselves in the stretchers in each individual room of their own
Aging one of them lay an injured toga who's bandages were being by a nurse with an unwavering gaze
*her hands carefully wrapping the cloth against the puncture wounds. Luckily for her it was just the muscles that were puncture and lesser veins
"Is she going to be able to move?"
A soft poke came at the back of her head just. As a tendril in the form of a needle hover just above her skull and above just occipital lobe. A solid threat form the figure or . . Thing plaster in the corner of the room inside a pool black pool of shadows
The nurse hands kept on moving as she felt the slight poke of the object threatening to end her life with one solid thrust. "You know, you don't need to point that thing at me. I am not a threat to you or your little . . Girlfriend here."
"Sorry . . . I don't have patience for sarcasm, either you give me a solid answer or you'll be another patient on the hospital records" the tendril slightly dug into her scalp and Drawn out a gasp from her mouth
Insinctively her breath hitched, her pupils dialated as an instinctual response of growing fear and the thought of that thing buried inside of her. "She's . . Going to be alright . . But it will need days for her to recover"
"How many?"
"20 to 30 if she stays resting in the bed and has medical help." She was slightly shaking but nevertheless didn't show how she truly felt as her voice sounded normal "Unless one of our medical assistants who has a quirk to close up wounds could give us a hand I I just give a call"
" . . . ." Raguel said nothing as he weighed the options going on his head
On one side he wanted to take toga and deal with the wound himself as he didn't trust the nurse at all as if he give her the oportunity to leave she may have called for the authority as well as the pesky heroes. On the other, he wanted to let the nurse do her job for toga to recover in secrecy
His orange eyes shined in the light as they went half lidded before glancing at her as a half snarl followed by a sigh
"Go on, call for her."
The nurses sighed as she turn and rescheduled with her left hand to the doorknob of the door, but even before she could turn it
Her wrist was caught by claw fingers that tighten as she tried to pull away as the figure painfully lifted her up threatening to tear off her shoulder and arm form her socket
Dark Tendril were quick like snakes wrapping around her neck and it's end taking a sharp spike end hovering above her eyes.
"But if I dare to call any one other than the other nurse"
"Aaaghh." She let out a a wail as the spikes slightly began to lower, barely even touching playing it's sharpness on her. But even so she felt as if the tips were slowly gone into her but despite that feeli no her sight still remain there yet became watery
The tendrils slowly pulled back as the fiery orange eyes seem to slightly relax despite being in the shape of a glare. The tendrils relax it's tightness as it began to lower her down to the floor
"So I recommend to thread lightly as possible, or I'll swear to any deity you belive in that I will be true to the title of the red oni that so many folks and weaklings dare to speak and utter."
In an instant the tendrils retreat as they slither away form her quickly and leave her knees weak. He said nothing as he watched try to recover breath, yet she had the nerve to look up at him and gave him the a glare that spoke many words of wether he hate or resentment
Did that affect him or shatter any pride or ego like many of the other villains or hero had? No, not even a litttle
"Asshole." Came the hoarse voice of the nurse as she walked out of the room and into the hallway, leaving raguel aline with toga
The shadwos in the corner came to he forming a fully clothed figure as it quietly landed on the floor leaving the upper corner of the room.
He approach the bed where toga lay resting with an needle connected to her forearm to an Iv bag, he shook his head disappointingly and sourly
Not to toga but to his own stupidity of action as he was careless in the train, how could he have not detect that . . . .
He couldn't even come up with anything to say other than to go over the memory
It was as if her presence didn't exist,idk if she didn't trigger the almost sixth sense he had as to detect danger or any other type of threats
There was something more to her, especially to the skull face friend of her's.
That freak stood taller than any muscle head he had dealt with.
HECK, it was even taller than Muscular, the homicidal hero killer and it too he could not detect it's presence or even trigger his sixth sense
Whatever they were or whoever it may be.
Seem to be a league above honor further more given that he had only manage to reposed that female back before having to make a tactical retreat, especially after he saw the glimpse of the big one
Either his best guest was they were new yet deadly big fish that entered the game board of heroes and villains
Or
Had to do with something of the league of villains that he had heard form the smoke guy when he first meet him as he tried to recruit him on the spot
Either way in the back of his head gnaw a sense of awareness like it never did before. He had always been cocky form time to time even laid back whenever he feel he had the upper hand in his many fights and yet now.
He didn't feel that cockyness or feeling that assure him of winning his next encounter with those two
He sat down on the steel chair nearby the bed toga rested soundly, only letting out deep breaths as she rested.
Raguel look down to the ground the specks of gray decorating the floor. He picture himself as that simple speck of color among the big colors that opaque it
"I'll have to get stronger" the image of eri & naito flashed in his thoughts. Wether he tried to deny it many times in his head all the times that he needed no weaknesses of connection with any one
He found himself thinking of naito, his only tutor and even . . . .
He shook his head he pushed and feed other thought into his head to replace. He need to get stronger, pushed each fiber of his body with all his might
Prove he is the monster that every villain will fear as a bogeyman whenever they tried to hide in the dark and the punisher of heroes who belive themselves to be above everyone else, and only care for their own good rather than the lives that they pretend to save
This time, the way he will prove that will have to be through once again. Hitting them where it hurts them the most
Starting with the young trainees, to test their mettle
——
——
the smell of putrid water and rust of metal flare through the bone nostrils of the great beast made of muscles also know as Horrikan had deliver the samples of their targets along with Kage to doctor garaki
Horrikan clean his injuries and tear away at the loose damage skin of his body before gorging on the dead skin as underneath it began to regrow and heal. It's dislocated shoulder with a loud crack follow by a pop rearranged itself back into it's socket as his muscles moved to heal and relocate fracture bones around his body
The miracle and such creation of the doctor's work paid off the many trails or error and success.
Two little beings, each one with a unique color, one grey and the other a slight ochre yellow color surrounded Horrikan as it sat on the floor tending to it's wounds. Those two little beings were a normal night Horrikan had seen all the time in the lab and around the base, despite their insignificance size they had names the doctor had gave them.
Johnny & Mocha
Horrikan only let out a strong huff of air in front of mocha's face pushing it back and making it fall on it's rear, as for Johnny he didn't bother as Johnny was picking off the dead skin that felled to the floor below him
as Horrikan itself was the only one to have at least manage to survive against gigantomachia without pissing it of even more than it was
Yet it seems that it was clear that Horrikan nevertheless was the winner of the fight. Yet he only followed the orders of his creator
Kage on the other hand wasn't too lucky as she sat on a medic table with a mangled right leg and a torn off left knee that slowly regrew its missing limb and heal the mageld flesh slowly
Doctor garaki on the other hand was pleased as he began to work on the duplication of the quirks and maybe gain a mere combination of the both into one for the three individuals of the the large vails
Their once naked shapes now cover in what seem to be bone fragments that cover their weak spots with animalistic features such as spike like osteoderms cover their backs along with a exoskeleton that varied from each other
"This is going to take time." The doctor mitered as he inserted two glass vails of the subjects blood into a machine small mechanical grip vices and bargain to analyze it beofre beginning to spin with it
"Well now . . " he turn to look at Kage, only one good eye remain opened as the other was gone with the skin of the side of her face "seems you two had quite the time of your lives"
The other part of her side slightly frown at her accompany of release of hiss of hair that either could be of frustration or a boiling anger
The doctor only scoff as he turn to look at Horrikan "Horrikan, you done with your healing?"
The brute only let out a snarl as it turn it's head to the direction of his creator as red glowing pupils stare at him along with a skull. The dim lights of the room making it an early sight for any one, yet the doctor wasn't anyone as he stare at him with indifference
Horrikan voice came harsh, hoarse yet suffocated "yes"
"Get ready, we have a meeting with tomura and his new project I so gladly helped him with" he said as quickly turn to face kage and stop her midway as she open her mouth to speak
"Don't even start with lousy complains."
Kage's mouth open and closed as it stare at him for a second before letting out a snarl along with a growl as she turn her back to him
Horrikan in the other hand pick up the little being he know as Johnny and place it on his shoulder where dead skin was replaced by new, letting the little critter eat away
As for mocha just hopped and jump around Horrikan's feet
"Let's move, I have no time to waste with attitudes" Dr garaki didn't bother to look at her as he moved and so did Horrikan
Their foot steps echo through the run down corridor of walls stain with dust, and rust as they moved through series of hallways and dark tunnels that were only know to the doctor and it's creations to navigate through the space. Anyone other than them could get lost unless they had a good tracking skills, but will have to deal with the brute next to him or the experimental creations garaki made
Nevertheless
The doctor look over his shoulder at Horrikan whom was focus up ahead as his mane seem to stood on the ends of his hair's
"You can smell it can't you?" He smiled as he notified how the big brute red irises dilated in response to another scent
"Another . . . predator." Came the brute's voice as it stare down further into the corridor where a two door entrance was slightly open and saw slight movement inside and could hear The the faint sound of talking
"Yes." The doctor said as they were slowly approaching the entrance "But . . Not just a predator . . " he said as he turn to look over his shoulder and back to Horrikan whom's gaze still look forward
"Another weapon . . Just like you."
His the clear view of muslces under his skin seem to tense and slightly shake as a low grumble began to form in his throat making the critter on his shoulder almost fall as it let out a squeak before regaining it's balance
Garaki only gave a slight smirk as he noticed horrikans reaction, it was that same reaction he had seen Horrikan give whenever another creation like him popped out in the labs to create the living weapons master All for one wanted and of course his heir to take on the mantel as well as legacy master carried
The doctor was first to enter through the doors, then Horrikan. They were greeted by tomura shigarika accompanied by kurogiri whom stood behind him to the side watching the newly created weapon as it had been release form it's own glass vail that contained it and shape it to it's current state
"It is done" the successor to All for one stare at the newly created weapon.
His weapon, his nomu.
His eyes examine the details of his creation, muscles bulging out underneath it's dark skin with many scars of the many operations it went through to get through the state of it's transformation to a weapon. The sight leave to a little imagination as it's array of sharp teeth were exposed as it breathed, no facial features were recognizable as it only lay an exposed brain and two eyes.
A mouth like beak opened and closed as it breath it's fresh takes of airs as it remain hunch over as it slowly rises to it's feet shaking it's head before moving to it's master
Tomura smiled underneath the hand that cover it's face as he turn around to face Doctor garaki
"ISNT THIS THE GREATEST CREATION THAT WILL EQUAL THE GRESR HERO ALL MIGHT!!?" He yell with delight before beginning to cackle before following it with a twisted laugh that to each second it became more twisted than before
Horrikan let out a low bellow that slowly began to turn to a guttural snarl
The doctor only raised his hand tap him on the chest with his knuckles before speaking "calm your senses Horrikan" despite the demand of words the doctor felt the predatory nature of his creation began to rise, it was clear to why as Horrikan was design to be a like hoard dog beast.
He had used many quirks to those that relate to the animal kingdom. A rattel (honey badger), hyena, vampire bat, wolverine, pangolin, and a Hercules bettel
In those quirks there were some for great tracking, location, hunting, strength, and defense. As well as three quirks that he had to cloned and infused into him that could serve as an auxiliary support as well it's last resort
Despite it all, it seem that all those quirks and advantages had came with a drawback as animal predatory instincts along with territorial behavior had become apparent. Yet garaki didn't mind it at all, Besides, Horrikan was his loyal guard dog as well his most loyal subject
As well as Even a guinea pig
A louder growl was follow once again as Horrikan was bearing his teeth at the newly created nomu who in return did the same as it straighten his back to appear more taller to the aggression the other was presenting
The little critter Johnny that stood om horrikan's shoulder whimper as if sensing the intention of killing between these two monsters. It try to hide it self in horrikan's mane like hair as it tremble and whine
Horrikan stood tall as it's red glowing irises meet the nomu's own almost dead like irises that still held life but had no will of his own but his master's
Tomura only look at the scene with intrigue and mild bother expression before looking at the doctor who remain the same neutral expression
Tomura was quiet as it look over his shoulder to his bone and back to the other particular nomu.
"Looks like . . " tomura rub his chin for second before stopping as his satisfied smile grew wider as an idea popped into his mind "Your . . . . 'Beast' wants to have a go at my perfect crafted wepon here"
The Doctor remain silent as he didn't show any emotion or any bothered expression, but on the inside he wanted to call this 'boy' many words that would perfectly wound his cockyness and pridefulness for trying to insult one of his creations that he deem superior to the yet potential so calm weapon to bring th the pillar of hope that was All-might
Yet he would let the 'boy's' disrespect go uncheck to his brilliance as the Doctor of his own creations that far surpass the biology of any normal human or hero. All the secrets tomura learn to create his so call weapon was form him and master
Yet the simple idea of letting their creations have a go at each other didn't sound bad, and after all it would be a test to see if tomura's so call creation was at it's peak form.
Garaki clear his throat as he look at him before he pushed his glasses up. "If you insist young tomura." He said as he didn't say any words as he turn around and patted Horrikan on it's shoulder making it to turn to follow him
Tomura on the other hand let out a raspy chuckled as he scratch at his neck with madness and growing pride "you my perfect creation will turn that pathetic excuse of nomu the doctor has into a mess."
Kurogiri as always remain silent as always yet only let out a small tired out sigh as shigaraki let out another final laugh that echo around the place
Doctor garaki turn to look at Horrikan over his shoulder as he sir in a neutral tone "Horrikan be prepared" as a response to garaki's words Horrikan snorted accompanied by a snarl
"Seems that young tomura has plans for his creation, and you. Which it seems you would gladly accept the idea of ripping that nomu apart wouldn't you?"
Horrikan nod eagerly as he look forward as the doctor guided him to the room that always serve to discard the lower nomu experiments as they made them fight or use Horrikan to select the strongest or more capable nomu's
"But . . I want you not to rip it apart. if it's strong you can go full on out to your desire till you can't no more. But if it's weak . . .
The doctor shrugged his shoulders as he turn to look at his creation into it's eyes
"Let it live"
Horrikan tilted his head form the words of his father/creator. He open his jaw to speak but was quickly shut as garaki cut in
"Let it live, so it can be dealt by the heroes themselves and to it's intended target. If it looses, then young tomura's weapon will be a failure of it's own"
Garaki lips form a small smile to himself as he image how tomura would react to see it's so calm perfect creation be nothing more than a mistake or even a fraud when the time comes when The pillar of all hope in Japan and hero society deals with it
Horrikan nod a she understood his father's request, he turn to look over his shoulder a she notice two small shapes approaching accompanied by a bigger one as it loom over them
He could sense the other creation approach, the smell of antiseptic and the fluid that clung to it's body like a newly recent new born was strong. As well with the scent of aggression and incoming violence
This was a battle to test their power and their ferocity as to see which monster
Is the better weapon
