Chapter Text
Deep in a lab stood a man strapping boys to some chairs. One by one he pulls them out of the cells each of them with various injuries on them. However, by far only 2 of them were of critical condition. With a brunette with a missing leg and a ravenette missing their right eye. Both of them with burns too over their missing appendages.
"Ahh my beautiful creations oh how I love what I have done to your bodies. Especially you Atsumu kun and Ryouta kun. I also can't forget about you Number 13. Oh such a shame you have the looks of that woman. Now watch me extract the tiger's essence of both number 78 and 82."
And so the man had switched on the chair strapping the child named 78. As quickly as 82 could mutter wished for his ability to activate. "Ability: Fate in Thy's Hand; Fate has decreed we shall all escape from here to defeat men like Shibusawa Tatsuhiko. And find our soul mates to lift the curse he has bequeathed amongst us."
Suddenly, as soon as he said those sentences they were safe. For instead of taking 78's ability his life was taken by a giant white tiger claws. Immediately he had died so as soon as 78 could he freed the other children.
"Now what do we do?"13 asked timidly. "Fate has spoken that we must separate to defend our future mates and for us to be given the names we deserved from the start." 82 spoked to lead them to the right path. "Fate has heard my plea to save a group of people called the "Flags" and a man named Oda Sakunosuke and his children. They will however cannot be revealed till after 78 is 21 years old so that a duo named Soukoku will not stray from the path set for them." 82 told them while looking directly at 78.
All of them look at 82 worriedly knowing that changing something this big caused his curse to spread even more. "Do not worry about me I shall meet my soul mates in 3 years time in Tokyo." 82 reassured them. "On the bright side we have names now. I will go by Tobio, 13 you shalled be called Tsutomu and 78 your named is Atsushi Nakajima." The newly named Tobio informed the nameless boys whose eyes were gleaming with delight.
But Atsumu and Ryouta could see that Tobio was hiding something. Noting how he seemed to looking at him with immense sadness. Atsumu and Ryouta knew what it was about having known the possible future upon Atsumu. Finally, they gave nod showing Tobio they knew already and all decided not to tell the others.
Ryouta told Atsushi of his soul mate, a man named Nakahara Chuuya, whom is 4 years older than him. Stating his status of one half of Soukoku and that his mentor will be a man named Dazai Osamu. Hearing the name Osamu made Tobio and Atsumu cringe knowing the significance of that particular name. Luckily, no one but Ryouta saw them cringe at the name.
With that all settled they finally left and started to start making the base/home for the A.C.E.S to start. Atsushi and Tsutomu coming up with their own backstory based on what Atsumu, Ryouta and Tobio have told them. So, starts the beginning of the A.C.E.S new life of spreading their influence in Japan.
