Tomura sat on his throne or was it just an oversized chair? It doesn't matter. At his feet were thousands of people who called themselves the Meta Liberation Army. his fingers tapped against the arms on the chair. His foot was numb and his whole body was sore. Re-Destro was a formidable foe but he still lost. Tomura grabbed his crutch and stood up from his chair. He groaned and hissed in pain before he stood in front of the MLA with the help of a crutch. “you all may have worked for Re-Destro but not anymore… I'm the new leader along with the new commanders” Tomura said in his raspy but powerful voice. He motioned to Mr. Compress, Toga, Spinner, Dabi, and Twice who all walked forward. He wished he had more of his comrades like Kurogiri or Magne but they all went as far as they could. “Paranormal Liberation Front. That is what this group shall be called from now on. It will be split up into multiple groups. Two commanders each. Re-Destro will get you the details” Tomura would then turn around and head to a wheelchair Compress summoned from a marble. He groaned as he landed in the seat of the wheelchair. He was glad he didn't need to do another big meeting in his condition. Compress wheeled Tomura out of the auditorium while Dabi, Twice, and Spinner stayed behind. Toga hopped behind Tomura and Compress as she didn't really care for those big meetings.
Tomura seemed dazed as he was rolled around the complex before finding himself sitting in what seemed like a living room. “Toga go grab the others and tell Re-Destro’s commanders to do whatever. Compress contact the doctor and see if he has any medicine for me” Tomura rasped out as he stared in front of him. His ideals have changed deeply after today. With his quirk awakened he feels like he can do better than destroy hero society. Make the world to his image to allow his League to do whatever they wish. He closed his eyes as he relaxed into his wheelchair. He didn't even know how much time had passed since he closed his eyes but apparently it was now dark outside. His eyes cracked open as Compress was holding a small cup of water and pills for Tomura “here you go.” Tomura reached up and grabbed the cup along with the pills before swallowing them down with the help of the water.
“Do you ever wonder if this is real?” Tomura questioned out loud as he leaned into his chair. Compress looked up from his phone as he heard Tomura’s question. He thought for a second before speaking “what do you mean exactly?” he asked. Tomura shifted around as he sighed "I sometimes wonder if this is real. How we defeated enemies. Survived hero attacks…” Tomura looked over to Compress finally “I suppose in some sense it can feel a bit… unreal but i assure we are real and thriving” he said going back to scrolling through his phone. Tomura hummed in response as he stared at the wall in front of him. He looked down at his hand and for a second he could see his missing fingers but they soon faded away. What was going on? Why did the fingers show then disappear? Tomura groaned as his mind started to feel fuzzy. He pushed his body as he reached up to his face and ripped off something metallic. His eyes adjusted quickly as he saw himself in a test tube of sorts. No signs of his friends or family but the Doctor who looked scared at Tomura.
Tomura growled before pressing his hand to the glass and it decayed to dust within seconds. The liquid in the tank spilled out while taking Tomura and sending him to the floor “where. Am. I?” Tomura rasped out while weakly standing up. The doctor fell backwards and shuffled back “h-how?! You should have been drugged enough!” Tomura’s eyes shot towards the Doctor “you were using me as an experiment?!" Tomura’s hand lifted up and black jagged tendrils shot out and pinned the doctor down. Tomura didn't even know how he did that. Was this part of the experiment? Turning him into a Nomu? Before the doctor could even object or say anything the wall on the side of the lab was busted down with an explosion. There stood heroes of plenty, more probably that Tomura could count. “Tomura Shigaraki. Don't make this harder than needed” the Orca hero said. Tomura laughed. An actual laugh and not some sarcastic laugh. So he was just living the past while being experimented on. He aimed his other hand at the heroes ready to use a new move but it didn't work. That's when Tomura noticed the hobo man. Eraserhead. The one he almost killed at USJ. That quirk of his was something he wanted.
Someone Tomura never saw spun up and ran towards him hoping to deal damage but Tomura grabbed them by the throat and quickly decayed their neck. “You fools. I'm the main player here!” Tomura took the cape off the hero and put it on before squatting down. Some form of red electricity sparked around his body before he launched himself through the roof. He landed out in the street and floated a bit. He saw the multiple heroes standing around in surprise along with some familiar students. He cracked his neck before his body sparked with red electricity as he launched himself towards the heroes. They all put up the expected fight. They burned, stabbed, cut, freezed, and even paralyzed him but nothing kept him down. He stopped his rampage when he saw a familiar face. He held her by the throat and stared at her face “you… Hana?” he asked. Before even an answer could be heard Tomura felt the sinister crack of a foot connecting with his neck making it snap instantly. Deku stood there breathing heavily as Tomura’s body fell to its knees then the ground.
The ultimate fight didn't feel right. Too easy to defeat such a villain. The Doctor was brought outside while cuffed. He was shoved inside a prison truck. The heroes got to work cleaning up the mess. The Nomus under the hospital were quickly destroyed whilst the students were being checked out by doctors. Deku had multiple bone fractures. Shoto with both 2nd degree burn and freezer burn on his arms. Momo was just scared and had bruises on her neck. The others were relatively fine with small cuts and bruises Tomura’s body was tied down to a board with quirk canceling cuffs. His head was still at a 90 degree angle when Deku kicked him. Though it seemed it was healing at a slow rate. He was loaded into a van with a few heroes and Eraserhead before driving off to a hospital to confirm the death. But something wasn't right.
