6 Overhaul

The next morning Brian, Connie, Kadota, and Tamaki found themselves in the basement of the lighthouse, waiting for Jason to arrive.

"So, you ready?" Brian smirked at Connie, "It's your first time right?"

"Don't say it like that," Connie sighed. She laughed when Brian blushed.

The door to the basement opened and Jason made his way down.

When he finally joined the group he looked them over then began, "There are several things you must know when going into this world, most notably, is the difference in strength," he began, "Many heroes and villains, such as the ones we'll be dealing with will be many times stronger than we are."

"Then how do we defend ourselves if things go wrong?" Connie crossed her arms over her chest.

"If things go bad, I'll teleport us out of there," Jason answered simply.

"Things aren't as simple in that world, Connie." Tamaki spoke, "As I told you last night, two groups are vying for power, the hero agencies and the League of Villains."

"What about the Yakuza?" Brian asked. He had been observing The Reaper for most of the time he had been in that be world and hadn't heard anything about the Yakuza or their plans, everything had been about the League of Villains.

"They've been denied the limelight due to the early days of heroes, they were silenced." Tamaki responded, crossing his arms, "Now, with the loss of All Might, they're number one hero, they wish to change the balance."

"Anything we should know beforehand?" Kadota asked.

"Overhaul is the leader of the Yakuza and his attack squad." Jason began, "I don't know enough about them to give us an upper hand if any fights break out but no matter what we must be careful." Jason had faith in his squad, he knew they could handle themselves. However his faith wasn't limitless and he didn't want to waste lives if he could avoid it. The Yakuza wasn't his target, The One-Eyed Reaper was.

Jason knew that he was going to be in a fight with him, he had pulled out all the stops, unluckily his opponent's pure strength was more than enough to overpower a majority of the Shadow Collective. If things came to it and his squad fought against the Yakuza, they would lose, thus why he needed to ally with them, any setbacks could result in death or injury. Jason wouldn't allow it. "Do I make myself clear."

"Yes," The group nodded, in full understanding with Jason.

"Let's get this show on the road, Jason." Tamaki spoke, "I don't want to be late."

Jason nodded, "Yes, let's go."

Within seconds Jason found himself in the middle of an alleyway with the entire group. He took in a long breath and smiled, a strange sense of nostalgia flowed through him. The man took a quick look around and turned to Tamaki, who nodded in another direction.

"The meeting place is close." Was all he said, already turning his back to the group and making his way down the alleyway.

The group followed him wordlessly for what seemed like an hour until finally coming across an abandoned building.

"We're meeting him here?" Connie asked as they walked in. The room was covered in dust and pieces of rubble, the room had a single couch, near the door. The only window looked out to a busy street and next to it was a small pot of dirt and a dead plant, This place had been abandoned for a while.

"This place is a dump," Brian said to himself.

"It's near the Kamino district," Jason spoke, "All Might and All for One fought each other and destroyed many buildings in the process, it seems as though this place wasn't spared from the destruction." Jason turned to the door as a group of three men walked in.

The man in the lead wore a plague mask, coat, and gloves. The other wore a large white coat and a similar mask, though this one covered his entire face, finally, there was the third one in a large black cloak, he wore a mask similar to the second ones and a black hat.

"Welcome, Overhaul," Tamaki greeted with a slight bow, "Please take a seat."

The group of three made their way to the only couch in the wrecked apartment. When they sat down Overhaul made eye contact with Jason.,

"So, you wanted to talk." Overhaul began with a monotone voice, "First, what are your quirks?"

Jason growled at the question, "We're from another world, one that's similar to this one. Their powers are known as 'abilities' not 'quirks'."

"Alright then," Overhaul narrowed his eyes toward Jason, "What are your abilities then? I need to know that before we can proceed."

"I'm the one who brought us here, my… ability is to bring people between this world and the world we see as home," Jason then gestured to the blonde teen next to him, "Brian here can copy someone else's ability by touching them," he then gestured to Kodota, "He can manipulate the bandages on his body and even strengthen them, Connie can create and control Vines from anywhere with dirt, though the strength of the vines depends on the amount of grass." Finally he turned to Tamaki, "He used to be able to control water, but his ability was stolen."

"Stolen?" Overhaul raised an eyebrow, "Who did such a thing?"

"A person by the name of The One-Eyed Reaper, he was sent here by me, I hoped that he could be killed by some powerful quirk," Jason confessed, "It seems that I have failed."

"I've heard of the Reaper," Overhaul began, "He's begun making rounds in the villain world, known for being very powerful."

"From what we can see he hasn't been able to steal the quirks of those in this world," Jason let out a sigh of relief, "Otherwise he would be another All for One."

"We don't need another one of him ." Overhaul spoke, irritation clear in his voice, "How do you know about him anyway?"

"I try to keep an idea of what is happening here and who the big fish are." Jason answered, "Until recently, you weren't on my radar."

"That doesn't surprise me," Overhaul shrugged, "We've slowly been making moves after his fall, someone would have noticed us."

Jason nodded and his frown returned, "Now then, for why we're here, we need help to defeat him."

"Do you know where he is?" Overhaul frowned, "we have facilities and allies around the city if we can lock him down somewhere out of the way, that would help."

"I know he's somewhere downtown," Brian answered, "I would be tracking him right now, but I was asked to be here just in case…"

"Do you not trust us?" The man in the grey cloak asked.

"Do they have any reason to?" Overhaul asked looking over his shoulder, he then gestured to Connie, "She can create vines with dirt, there's a pot with some near the window," his gaze shifted to Tamaki, "he has bandages he can control," finally his eyes shifted to Brian, "For all, we know he has a powerful ability, they're prepared for a fight, and so are we."

Jason nodded, "I'm sure you understand."

"Do you plan to betray us?" The man in the black hat asked.

"No," Jason answered without hesitation.

Overhaul narrowed his eyes for a moment before letting out a sigh, "We have a warehouse in the downtown if you can get him there your group and my team can ambush and hopefully defeat him, though it will cost you."

Brian's jaw dropped, "You want us to pay you? The Reaper is just as dangerous to us as he is to you!"

Jason held up a hand and silenced Brian, "I understand that you are working on something quite expensive," the Yakuza boss narrowed his eyes once more as Jason nodded to Tamaki, who left the room. He returned a moment later with a large briefcase, "I'm sure this will suit your needs."

The man in the grey cloak took the briefcase and looked inside before nodding to overhaul.

Overhaul nodded back before turning his attention back to Jason, "You have a deal, We'll be in contact."

Jason smiled, "Good to know, let's hope things end quickly and quietly."

As the three men left, Jason turned to Brian, "I need you to find The Reaper, the quicker we end things, the better."

(Back to Yuu)

Yuu sneezed suddenly and his gaze looked up to the sky with a scowl, "I don't like that at all."

The Reaper narrowed his eye before he glanced around the alleyway, "I'm tired of searching in the dark." When he knew no one was around him he sighed and activated his future vision ability.

The world around him vanished and was replaced with a large cavern with spikes and rubble. He heard a scream and his eye turned to the figure in front of him.

He saw a tall man with blonde hair wearing a white super suit. He could see two spikes piercing his body, one in his leg and the other in what Yuu assumed was his ribs.

He moved his gaze further ahead and saw two figures. One of them was in a plague mask and large coat, the other figure made Yuu growl in anger.

In his suit and with his same overconfident smile, Jason stood staring at the Reaper.

Suddenly Yuu found himself back in the alleyway, he frowned.

"So, he'll get his hands dirty huh," Yuu smirked, "I thought he was too much of a coward for that."

"You're talking about Jason aren't you?" A new voice spoke up.

Yuu turned around and saw a skinny man, he looked a couple of years older than Yuu. He had long brown hair and wore a large black coat, torn pants, and worn shoes "Who are you?" The Reaper began to smirk, "Do you think someone like you can defeat me? The One-Eyed Reaper?"

"No, I know I can't." The man sighed and looked down to the floor, "I lost my ability a year ago, grew out of it."

The Reaper crossed his arms and frowned, "Then what do you want?"

"I want to tell you everything I know about Jason," The man growled the name, "I want someone to pay for what he's done to us, stranding us in this world."

"Alright then," Yuu narrowed his eyes at the stranger, "What do you know?"

"He's obsessed with power," He began to make his way toward the Reaper, "If he even thinks that you're able to take his position in his group he'll banish you to this world."

Yuu tilted his head, "You were one of these people?"

The man shook his head, still slowly making his way toward the Reaper, "I saw him do it multiple times, when a group I had assembled had challenged him, he sent us here."

Yuu narrowed his eyes as the man, who was now just a yard away from him, put a hand in his coat pocket.

Yuu uncrossed his arms and let them hang near his hips, "Keep your hands out of your pockets."

The man stopped walking towards the Reaper and sighed, "You know I'm not a threat, I just want to tell you what I know."

Yuu scowled at the man, "You can do that with your hands where I can see them."

The man laughed and stretched his arms out as if getting ready for a shakedown, "What, you don't trust me?"

At that moment Yuu felt a pain shoot through his shoulder blade and yelled out in pain. After a heartbeat he could hear a clap of thunder ring out through the alleyway. He glanced over his shoulder and saw a teenager with long black hair and a tank top, his eyes glowed blue as he held out a finger gun and shot a bolt of lightning toward the Reaper.

Yuu jumped to his right and saw the man he was talking to fall backward, yet another clap of thunder followed.

Yuu's eyes glowed gold as he made a shield appeared in front of him, blocking the lightning. However the impact from the attack sent the Reaper stumbling backward for a moment.

The Reaper heard a man scream behind him and turned just in time to see the brunette lunge at him with a knife.

Yuu jumped backward, barely dodging a swipe from the knife-wielder, however, the index cards hanging from his neck were not so lucky.

Yuu snarled in anger as the cards fell to the ground, with Telekinesis he threw the man into the alley wall. The wall behind the brunette cracked with the power of The Reaper's ability.

Another bolt pierced Yuu's leg as the man with the finger gun screamed out toward his friend, "ROMAN!"

The Reaper growled and locked eyes with his opponent. Moments later the black haired teen was without powers, and Yuu had another new ability.

The Reaper made his way to the teen and held him his shirt, "Are you part of Jason's team?"

"That douchebag, new man!" The teen seemed to laugh at the question.

"Who do you answer to!" Yuu asked.

The teen looked away from the Reaper.

"ANSWER ME!" He screamed, after a moment laughter began to fill the alleyway, "Fine, then." Yuu made a finger gun with his free hand, and put it flush against the teen's leg, "One last chance."

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll tell you!" The teen began.

Yuu's laughter stopped immediately, "NOW!"

"We thought that if we killed you Jason would let us return home!" The teen held his hands up, "Please, don't hurt me!"

Yuu searched the teen's deep blue eyes for any sign he was lying. All he found was a sense of familiarity, three words filled his mind.

"I'll be waiting."

Yuu's breath hitched in his throat for a moment before he dropped the teen, "Get your friend and get lost."

The teen watched as the Reaper silently made his way to the index cards, picked them up, and left the area.

Yuu clutched the cards close to his chest, and asked a single question, 'whose voice was that just now?'
