Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Espionage
Izuku banged on his mother's door. "What is the name of the people that have the house?"
"The goddamn Denim Banner! Deku, leave!"
"You sold dad out?"
"YES!"
"Is he dead?"
"NO!" she cried. "LEAVE!" He kicked the door. He could talk to his friend, Katsuki, but he would rather not. When in doubt, use the internet.
Izuku sat at his computer desk. "The Denim Banner." What came up was a list of cases dated back ten years ago.
He read the first article
The Denim Banner Strikes Again
Last Summer, Robin Crossmann was sentenced to life in prison by the Japanese. Robin was sentenced to life in prison for robbing the Zukana Shi Village, a fake village set up near the art district. He stole the scroll of Kano wa Inai. Because the village is just a play model of an artist's imagination and the artist has been dead for over 25 years. The Museum has no complaints. Despite it, the police have done an investigation on Robin Crossmann, who was later discovered to be attached to two missing cases involving eight-year-old, Sanji Michio and 26 years Fukuda Seikichi. Young Sanji was the child of a Hero who was laid to rest back in 1877 and is the only grandson of Malachite Whale.
Robin was jailed in Nekutai Holding Camp For Villains. Robin stated he was paid a large sum of 15,000 yen to commit villainous crimes and have his name hidden. Robin did give away the name of the leader, Ugumori Iehisa. Police from Nekutai are letting people know that Ugumori is formerly The Pearl Emperor who attempted to steal the Prime Minister's position by holding him hostage and cutting off the pinky finger on both hands.
Ugumori Iehisa threatened the Prime Minister to cut off two more fingers if he didn't make Villains legal. The Prime Minister lost two more fingers two years after being rescued from the Pearl Emperor. He lost his thumb on the right hand and ring finger on the left. At the time, Ugumori Iehisa said he planned to cut his toes off until he couldn't move.
"They hired him?" he mumbled and continued his search after the first link. The Black Denim Tale, A fanfiction. "That ain't it." Doctor Yone's cure to cavity lice. "What the hell is that." He kept scrolling. The Denim Dev Team cancels upcoming release because of backlash. When in Doubt, Figure it Out by Denim Toda book release. "This is aggravating…" he scrolled faster, skipping a page, scrolling, skipping two more pages. Page 17.
"What's this?" The Pearl Emperor POA, SuperHero, LinkUP Forum, Page 39. And he clicked it.
Wellax: I can't believe this fucking idiot thinks Ugumori Iehisa is still alive. Ugumori has been dead. Even his daughter confirmed his death!
Untowarddaydream: @Wellax What makes you so fucking confident he is dead? All you do is go up and down in the forum and reply to people months after they posted. This forum is old!
Wellax: @untowarddaydream Did you really just @ me?
Izuku went to the first page. There he saw the forum from the start and the user that posted it first. "This is old… at least 15 years."
Ａｉｌｕｒｏｐｈｏｂｉａ_ｃｈｉｌｄ: I have something super rare that I think people should see. It's the Pearl Emperor's last will before he died. I didn't think heroes left these. I think it's scary.
He scrolled a little further to see a file and downloaded it. He opened it up and a picture of a brown burnt paper showed; he could barely read it. "I have plans. Big plans. I did everything I could to be a hero but they knew about the steroids. All the fucking steroids they give us. So we don't feel pain. I have nothing but energy. I love it and I hate it. I killed my wife. I lost my daughter. Oh my God, I miss Okazaki. But I can do better. I can… I can be a real hero and punish them. Punish all of them for what they do to us.
The paper ended. At the bottom, there was still more but it was unreadable. He kept reading the rest of the forum.
Ａｉｌｕｒｏｐｈｏｂｉａ_ｃｈｉｌｄ: I found out that Rashua Company has a steroid in the making. It's called Leistus. Leistus is a superpower steroid to help heroes remain focused and remain active in the heat of battle. Rashua Company has not said exclusively that the drug is out but it has been noted that Rashua has created multiple steroids and The PEarl Emperor became addicted to one.
He claimed that he was set up in a room with 12 people that forced him to take the steroid because of a heated battle with a tank gone wild.
Another steroid is CME, it was nicknamed Cinderella Pain. I couldn't find much on it but somebody a long time ago posted a broken blue pill with the number 9 on it. CME isn't on the black market or sold in stores as an over the counter drug. However, there is a steroid for heroes sold on the market publicly in stores known as IRNO. One hero has taken this drug and they are currently paralyzed.
The Hero is Sorcerora, they have been in the hospital due to unknown paralyzes for 4 years with no signs of improvement.
This. Is. Serious.
N͓̽e͓̽m͓̽e͓̽s͓̽i͓̽s͓̽a͓̽n͓̽g͓̽e͓̽l͓̽: That's cool. Except Sorcerora is dead.
Conflate_city: That's unbelievable taht any hero would do drugs. What if All Might did drugs? Because he's been pretty lame lately. Like he I saw him fly pass my house.
ƧΉIПЯIПYӨKЦƧKIΣƧ: That doesn't sound like All Might.
ƧΉIПЯIПYӨKЦƧKIΣƧ: This is actually a great topic of discussion. What about the missing heroes in the city. What about the Fall of UA?
N͓̽e͓̽m͓̽e͓̽s͓̽i͓̽s͓̽a͓̽n͓̽g͓̽e͓̽l͓̽: I used to go to UA but then I transferred. It just got boring.
𝙩𝙨𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙠𝙪𝙙𝙖𝙮𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢: I heard one of the teachers was sexually harassing students and that's why it shut down.
Komorebiaurora: That's wrong. I don't who gave you such information but UA never closed. A lot of people transferred because of villains. A student attacked a teacher and some felt terrible about it. UA is still a great school. Don't blame the building, it's bad people.
"UA?" Izuku leaned back. "Steroids?" In his own memory he didn't know why he left. Maybe it was stress from classes. Maybe he didn't feel good enough. Maybe he was tired was walking but he still had to walk.What did Bakugo do?
He trained at UA and Bakugo and him followed their dreams. Everything was find and they started passing out flyers for Genkai. He was suited except for his quirk. This new school was a huge 360 in his life. Now his mother was whining about the house. He stared at the PC. He didn't find what he was looking for.
