4 Vigilante who?

*KEN'S POV*

Power is the one thing that is sought after no matter what or where you are. Political power was the primary source of power in my last life. Here however, one's personal power is a big factor on how they are treated. Don't get me wrong political power is still present, and a very big factor on how the world works. However personal power allows someone to do and say things that either make people listen or turn a blind eye in case of the more unsavory acts. Take Allmight for example how many people do you think would listen to him if he couldn't level a city block with a punch. Shit look at Endeavour all the evil shit that he has done, and...nothing is done about it, because he has a strong power. What he is doing is going to create more powerful people, people who can be manipulated and used to make even more powerful people and protect those in power.

Gaining power for me was pretty simple actually just needed to get near people to copy there quirk. While nice on paper, it caused some of the meanest headaches I've ever had the displeasure of feeling. I've slowly began to go to more and more crowded areas to kinda get used to intake of info. Some of the quirks I've copied have helped with it especially intelligence quirks. They allowed me to process quirks much faster and let me go into more crowded areas.

So, power got that and working on building it up further. My next step is building up my personal strength. I need to be physically stronger, and I also need to learn to wield multiple weapons. And oddly enough one of the homeless people I came across, helped a lot with this. Not in the old homeless man is secretly a martial arts master, it is more like what his quirk is. The ability to use any quirk to its fullest potential, the only problem he needs someone else's quirk to use his. Yea turns out there are a lot less quirkless people out there than we thought these quirks are just a bit...quirky. Anyway, thanks to this quirk I knew how to use all of my items to the fullest potential. Don't get me wrong I'm no martial artist, or weapons masters. I know how to use them not fight with them, that will take more effort to accomplish. That brings me to my plan, and the key to my plan lies within my old phone. While it has no service at places like the library with free Wi-Fi and charging stations, I have access to one of the greatest wells of knowledge....google.

Looking up martial arts videos brought up a lot of heroes that have dojos of their own. I watched about a minute of it before leaving. It was basically him saying he was a hero throwing a punch then going on about his hero career and how great he was. Looks like I'm gunna have to dig a bit deeper to find anything useful.

Four hours it took four hours of looking and researching to find anything useful on the web. Taking notes in an old notebook and going through books on what is now ancient history took less time. I did go to a few dojos to see what they were teaching but many were hero run and even I who only has experience in street fights could see how shit they were. The others were at least decent but coming off the streets with no money means I couldn't exactly go in and learn so, looking from afar and copying what I could, I took my findings and went to Takoba Municipal to practice. It smelled like ass but suited my purpose out of site, isolated, and I could damage whatever I wanted with little to no consequences. Now it was time to grind my personal strength, speed, and skill.

------------------Time skip 1 year----------------

Basics it was all I worked on from hand-to-hand combat to weapons such as handheld blades, swords, spears/bo- staff, bow and arrows, kanabo, and even some firearms. The next step for me is experience. The only problem with that is sooner or later I would gain the attention of the heroes and villains. And let's just say showing what could be seen as multiple quirks would only hasten this. So, I did something semi cringe and, in my opinion, necessary. I've created loadouts, a group of weapons, armor and assorted items. So far, I have four different loadouts with different names. The names are supposed to help me summon what each load out needs, like mental a trigger so I will be able to summon the needed items faster. The names of the load outs I have are Ronin, Hawkeye, Beast, and Senju (yes Hawkeye from marvel and Senju from Naruto).

There are some basic things that all loadouts will have, and I will keep active even when I'm not fighting.

Dragon tattoo for back; diamond like skin ( allows skin to be as tough as diamonds *note* will remain even if unconscious may be difficult to apply first aid while active), energy absorption ( includes kinetic, thermal, and electric energy) which can be channeled to increase strength of blows upon impact (*note* can only work when using a body part to strike can't be channeled through weapons) energy not used is to be stored. Once energy storage limit has been hit excess energy will be used to strengthen and energize body (*note* can cause restlessness.) Metal like bones, minor regeneration.

Right eye tattoo: spectrum can see in different spectrums of light and as well as different kinds of sight including night vision, UV, X-ray, Infared. (*note* must change sight at will.) Photographic memory, Scan, can see one's physical health provides name, age and status of persons health including detailed injuries and description of all and any substances in the body (*note* has to focus on one person at a time in order to use.) Allows to read all written language as well as sign language. Moderate increase in intelligence. Not limited to right eye works for both eyes.

Tongue piercing: can speak any language including the ability to communicate with animals. Filters out the impurities in the air (*note* filter function can cause trouble with breathing with thin/low air areas, will stop intake of harmful substances.) Provides minor protection to mouth. Slight increase to intelligence.

Earnings: enhances hearing allowing to hear heartbeats focus required to enhance. Allows understanding of spoken languages including animal calls. Echo location like hearing (*note* must intentionally make sound for this function, radius of area depends on the volume of initial call.) Sound sense can tell the exact direction a sound came from no matter how faint or how much it echos.

Small Oni mask tattoo at the base of skull; moderate increase in intelligence, warning provides a sense of unease when in, or around danger. (*note* cannot tell when or where the danger is only that you are in a dangerous area feeling will intensify as the danger gets closer.)

These were one's that I always had on me, while they sometimes annoyed the shit out of me, they have helped me more than once. Especially the Oni tattoo it was almost always active due to the fact that I lived in the slums. But like I said useful, and they usually paired well with whatever loadout I chose to use.

Ronin: samurai armor including chest plate arm and shin guards. The armor had a minor defensive quirk called stone guard armor is as tough as stone. The armors colors were mainly black with red accents. A lower face mask that resembled a grinning Oni it had two quirks sooth and spook. Sooth makes my voice have a slight calming effect to whoever hears it. Spook was the exact opposite it makes people uneasy and even afraid when heard.

A finger tattoo that wraps around my index finger. It has one quirk storage. It allows me to store anything I can carry in my arms in a pocked dimension. My under shirt was pure black, white a minor strength enhancing quirk and a defensive quirk. Double strength takes your natural strength and doubles it, and thick skin makes it harder to cut into. May pants had a minor speed quirk and a minor defensive quirk. Shunshin allows me to move short distances in a quick burst. Bronze skin pants are as strong and tough as bronze. My shoes where black with two quirks stick and steel. Stick allowed me to stick to any surface no matter how slick or angle, and steel gave them steel like properties.

My weapons were two katanas. The first was a dark blue almost black, with a red and black handle. It lets off a dark purple mist when unsheathed. It had one quirk warp gate. When slashed this blade could create a warp gate and can cut through anything. The second blade is a light blue almost silver , the handle a light green and silver blue. It had one quirk whirlwind. It could produce sharp blade like winds that can be sent from a distance.

Hawkeye: My undercloths stayed the same but my over wear changed. A black leather jacket with one quirk called shield. Provides a light translucent shield can take a small caliber bullet with some cracking. Black blind fold two quirks true aim, and focus. True aim when locked on a target projectile will hit. Focus allows you to focus on one thing despite your mental/physical condition. Wepons were a spar/staff, and bow. The bow has four quirks flame bullet, wind bullet, lightning lance and ice projectile. When the string is pulled back an arrow made out of either fire, wind, electricity, and ice. The spear/staff has five quirks. Fire blade, electric knife. Wind scalpel, ice shards, and shrink. The spear/staff can make blades out fire, wind, electricity, and ice at the end of the staff. Can only make blade like objects. Shrink allows the staff to shrink to about the size of a medium flashlight. Can adjust the size of staff at will.

Beast: This one has almost all the underclothes. The only thing missing was the shirt. Tatoos replaced it covering my chest, arms and neck. This tattoo had three quirks triple strength, bulk, and rage. Tripple strength and bulk both increased my strength and rage made me more aggressive. I did this to make people think each loadout seem like different people. A brown/gray mask with indistinct carvings with pitch black eyes, it had too quirks track and metal head. Metal head gave the mask steel like properties, and track allowed me to see the path that someone took within the last 12 hours has to be a specific target in order for it to be used.

The weapon was a kanabo with three quirks explosion, dual impact, and engine leg. It only lets out an explosion when hitting something, the person using it can decide if there is an explosion or not as well as the size of the explosion. Dual impact matches the force of the hit made with the kanabo about a second after. The user of the kanabo can decide if the second impact will hit or not. Engine leg acts as mini thrusters when swinging kanabo. The mini engines are the studs on the kanabo not good for extended use, mostly for short bursts to build up speed/force.

Senju: Same basic undercloths but a long dirty white cloak. It had one quirk cleanse it cleaned me and itself from germs bacteria and viruses. Two maching tatoos on my hands of a caduceus both shared the same quirk heal. Heal instead of taking energy from the person you are healing, takes energy from me. A dirty white mask with a light green cross going over my eyes and in the middle of the mask. It had one quirk lullaby. When the wearer wants his voice can put people to sleep. Only one wepon was used for this load out since I wanted it to be more supportive. Brass knuckles one quirk concussion. When hit with these no matter if it blocked or not it is guaranteed to give the person getting hit a concussion.

I wasn't sure where to start, so many drug dealers, kidnappers, delinquents...shity heros and wannabe villains. I think ill go out as Ronin for my first time...you know standing here on the third floor of this random ass abandoned building, a seven year old kid with a thirty something year old mind dressed as a samurai I can't help but feel a little stupid.

-----------------Time skip 3 months-------------

*GENERAL POV*

Detective Noamasa Tsukauchi:"Beast hit hear and six other places last night. Everyone is alive....barely *sigh* medics say at least a third of em will never walk again, and the rest will be in the hospital for at least half a year."

Sansa Tamakawa:"Crist Tsukauchi reports say he's like 9 or 10 how can a kid do this!"

Tsukauchi:" It's not just him Ronin took out four different shipments of human trafficking last night all the traffickers were missing at least one limb. At least the victims were OK shaken up some but physically fine *groan* what the fuck? in the last three months four different vigilantes have popped up out of nowhere all kids between 7 and 10 years of age, and all various degrees of violent.

Sansa:" At least Senju isn't so bad he just goes around healing people."

Tsukauchi deadpan:" He knocked out Eraserhead and gave him a concussion."

"It was a lucky hit. He caught me off guard." A tired and dry voice cut into the conversation, with somewhat defensive tone.

Tsukauchi:"*snort* Eraser he left you unconscious in the middle of an alley. I'm pretty sure it was more than luck."

Eraser dutifully ignored the comment:" Some eye witnesses say Senju was in Musutafu healing the homeless. Beast was here in Siatama taking out trigger dealers. Ronin was in Kanazawa dealing with human trafficking. That leaves the last little monster any news on Hawkeye?"

Sansa:"*sigh* No, nothing yet but we should get word soon. When one of them is out the others are sure to follow."

Police officer:" Excuse me, sorry to interupt sir but got news on the Hawkeye sir."

Tsukauchi:"*groan* Of course! Where was he and what did he do."

Police officer:" Aichi sir, and he uh..."

"Well" Eraser said looking intently at the officer. After his encounter with Senju he has taken an interest in breaking this group of child vigilantes.

Police officer:"*gulp* According to the one eye witnesses he stopped an attempted rape by a low ranking pro. The witnesses was the would be victim. She said that when he had her pinned against a wall in an alley an arrow made of ice hit him in the arm. After letting her go he turned to where the arrow came from yelling then he was shot three more times. Two ice, one in his un injured arm, the other in his left leg. And the third was made out of electricity.....it....hit him in the crotch and...castrated him sir."

Everyone there felt a shiver run down there spines at the news. What kind kids do this, because yes despite everything they have done so far every eyewitness account says they are kids between the ages 7 and 10.

Sansa:" Everything about that report is messed up. A rapist hero and, a vigilante castrating him in an alley in front of his would he victim."

Tsukauchi:" Let's just hope the news doesn't catch wind of this. The public opinion of our little group of chiby vigilantes is slowly growing.*sigh* all the victims of human trafficking seem to have talked about there encounters with the vigilantes despite us telling them not to."

Eraser " The Brotherhood...that's what some of my informants told me the group calls themselves. I've tried to question the homeless about any of them. There reaction was... disturbing."

Tsukauchi:" What do you mean by disturbing?"

Eraser:" They refused to say anything some even got ready to fight. I did overhear one of them talking about letting someone named Ken know that heroes were asking questions."

Sansa:" Ken? know who he was talking about?"

Giving a shake if his head Eraser continued " I tried asking about Ken but the reaction was far more hostile some even threw bottles at me telling me to leave."

Tsukauchi:" So this Ken is either one of, or knows someone in the brotherhood. Any idea why the homeless acted so violently?"

Eraser:" The Brotherhood has all but wiped out the local street gangs. Many of those same gangs would harass the homeless for one reason or another. They are probably greatfull if I had to venture a guess."

Sansa:" Shit, I'll run a search for kids missing in age range of 7- 10 with the name of Ken and we can go from there."

Eraser:" Good keep me updated. I've got to patrol so I have to go good luck with this mess."

Tsukauchi:" Thanks, we will and be safe out there Eraser."

With a final nod Eraser left leaving the two detectives with a lot of paper work and a very bloody crime scene.

*KEN'S POV*

These last months have proven to be very educational. Not only in terms of learning how to fight but as a person, learning who I am. I am very violent and brutal apparently. I'm not sure when I was ok with this level of violence but truth be told I'm more bothered by the fact that I can cut someone to ribbons and not give it a second thought. Was it my time in the void or was I always like this. I was scared not for those around me but for myself scared that one day I won't stop at beating someone to the brink of death. I didn't want to lose my humanity.

So, I gave myself some rules I would break, and maim. I would only kill as a last resort. It wouldn't be out of rage or simply because they were against me. It would be because the Fuckers gots to go. People like All for One, Overhaul, and Shigaraki. Those kinds of people I could kill, those people I know for sure have it coming. As for everybody else well I hope they don't mind broken bones and missing limbs."*sigh*" the only persona I don't have to worry about this kind of shit happening with is Senju. That loadout has quite the fan following among the homeless. It has also brought me a little piece of mind. Sure, I help people when I go and beat the fuck out of some drug dealers or cut to pieces human traffickers. But when I'm just sitting there healing those people that society turned its back on, it is just...different. Like I'm actually helping instead of going from fight to fight.

Speaking of fighting I should probably focus.

"Somebody! Just kill that little fucking monster!" I was currently in my Ronin loadout. I usually use Ronin for the human traffickers, for the sole reason that the victims are usually traumatized in one way or the other, and sooth can work wonders. I use the Beast loadout for drug traffickers. Hawkeye is usually just for patrolling and running around gathering info.

I've learned of this apparently super important person who they are trying to get out of Japan to sell. So Ronin is hear beating the shit out of people.

*GENERAL POV*

Three armed men stood in front of a door. Sweat trickled down there heads as they could hear guns, and different quirks going off in the distance. When the guns and quirks stopped going off it was usually followed by blood curdling screams then unsettling silence.

"Marcus, we need to get the fuck out of here!" One of the mercenaries finally snapped after the fighting and screaming finally stopped.

"Shut up! We are fine, safeties off and get ready were not moving a fucking inch." While he sounded confident the slight shaking in his hand told a different story.

" Sir, mabey Jan is right we could take the package and leave. We could meet up with our contact later." The three men stood facing the hallway that lead to the room. Guns raised and ready to fire, all three aimed down the hall.

" Jan, Cruz just shut the fuck up and get ready to fight. I'm not going to run from some hero wannabe, and neither are you!" Turning his head to make sure his subordinates understood. Turning back to face the hallway he was met with two feet to his face. Sticking slightly to the leaders face the chiby samurai pulled out the warp gate sword and did a full 180 degree cut from right to left. Mid arm both of Jan and Cruzes arms fell off spurting out blood. Screams tore out of there mouths as Ronin drove the leaders face into the door that they were protecting, causing it to collapse under the weight. After getting up Ronin stomped down on the leaders head making sure he was knocked out, he then stomped on his kneecaps shattering both of them. Turning to the two armless people Ronin pulled out bandages and equipped heal on his hands. After bandaging the wounds and healing them to the point where they wouldn't bleed out he turned and entered the room.

* KEN'S POV*

After bandaging up and making sure that those guys in the hall wouldn't bleed out I went in the room so I could make a warp gate to the nearest police station, give the victims the address of this place and be on my way. Looking around I saw a small figure hunched in a corner crying walking slowly with my hands held up I used the sooth function in my mask and spoke.

"Hey everything's ok now im gunna get you home ok." Approaching slowly I heard the figure sniffle and come out into the light.....that better not be who I think it is.

"*Sniffle* r-really? I wanna see my mommy and daddy. *sniffle*"

"Of course why don't you tell me your name so I can help you get home." I asked praying to whoever would listen that I'm wrong.

"*sniffle* I'm Yaoyorozu Momo *sniffle* who are you?"

'Oh fuck me!'
