{A woman with deer antlers stands in front of a camera with police tape and construction equipment and people working to repair the area behind her.
News Woman: "Three days ago, within this spot, a new villain made their debut with a small army of robots that caused the destruction you can see behind me. In a surprising twist for Villans and how they operate, there have been no civilian casualties throughout the entire battle. The HPSC, however, has still put out a warning for now, saying this young man, who some are calling Dr.Robotnic, is already a B rank villain and are looking to put an end to the danger he could bring if left unchecked. In other news, the Hyperion Corp-"}
The TV is turned off, revealing the office of UA's principal, Nezu, as he turns to his trusted employees/friends with a smile.
Nezu: "Now then, I believe we have a very interesting new problem, don't we?"
Aizawa sighs at the headache that's starting to form as Higari Maijima, or Power Loader as his hero name states, nods like an excited dog.
Higari: "Problem or not, that kid's got skill. I can't even begin to understand how his tech works. The head of that orange robot Eraser brought back alone is leagues above what we have! The optics of them can keep track of our fastest heros and calculate an attack in seconds"
Aizawa could only narrow his eyes at that while Nezu nodded along as he brought out his laptop and turned it around for them to see blue code rabidly being turned red with the image of the boy's logo before an error and system reset went through the laptop.
Nezu: "I myself am having trouble accessing the files on the robots' systems. Whenever I try, the code for the files self replicates, lagging my burner laptops before completely deleting the OS systems. That alone is incredible, as Aizawa has confirmed he is completely quirkless.
Aizawa: "Let's not forget what he said. 'These robots were designed for someone else' but no hero on the planet has a listed quirk that could outspeed these things"
Higari: "It's true, I went through the records and All Might at his peak was Mach 6. Now though, it's only Mach 2-3, and these low end robots can keep up with the simulation I made. They aren't fast enough to fight back, but the fact that they can even register that speed is incredible"
Nezu hums to himself as he pulls out a new burner laptop before deciding to try something different by transferring his program through the Eggpawn and letting the auto replicating files get stored on it.
Aizawa: "But that's not the problem. The main thing that worries me is that he could have easily killed me and Crust if he had wanted to. E-23, or Missile Wrist as he named it, could have crushed us in its claws with a snap of his fingers, but he didn't"
Higari: "Maybe he wanted to show off? It's not uncommon for a villain to want a hero to watch as they destroy stuff.
Aizawa shakes his head at that as he thinks back to how the boy didn't have any hatred towards him or even the police destroying his robots. He was simply talking to them like another person talks about a hobby.
Aizawa: "'This villans vs heroes thing was getting boring' Did he watch how things happened between villain attacks and want to try it himself? But why? Why willingly put a target on your back with a live broadcast in a city and announce your name?"
Nezu: "An interesting theory, Higari. However, it seems he had a different reason~"
Turning his laptop around, the principal shows them a line of orders from the boys' command server before they were sent out to attack.
{Eggnet Badnik Orders: Cause chaos. Target heroes and police listed in database. Do not target civilians. Lethal force Forbidden.} {To Nezu: Hope you enjoyed the show~ Because the curtains have yet to close~}
Nezu: "It seems our new villain simply wishes to bring a show, as he said he wanted to~ How interesting~ He even knew I would hack into it~"
The smile and laugh from the principal caused the two pros in the room to glance at each other before sighing at their boss's antics.
Aizawa: "Great, not only do we have an intelligent villain with morals, now we have to worry about the rat taking a liking to the kids' chaos. What a damn problem child"

On the shores of the young genius's island fortress, Ivan could be seen relaxing on a lawn chair, sipping a cool drink before sighing in bliss and looking over to Orbot on his right looking through holographic reports from the E-44's.
Ivan: "How go the reports, Orbot?"
Orbot: "Nothing yet, sir. However, from the rank that the HPSC has given you, you will be targeted by every hero that is in the area if the info is correct"
Ivan chuckles at that as he folds his arms behind his head. "That's what I was hoping for, Orbot~ The more heroes we fight, the more attention my empire receives. While getting more combat data that isn't based on that blue blur~ Anything else?"
Orbot: "Project S5-J is proceeding well and should be completed in two weeks. Project Egg-C7 will take a few years to complete. Experiment 52-C is complete and is being transferred to the designated site. And satellite Egg-1 is currently online and awaiting orders"
Ivan: "Then everything is proceeding smoothly~ Have an Egg-Robo be sent to the Atlantic Ocean along with two squads of E-39's and ten C class Eggpawns to being setting up a chemical plant Zone. Once it's 63% done, send in two E-118's to latch onto the anchor points and wait"
Orbot: "Consider it done, boss. What will you be doing in the meantime?"
Ivan simply stands up with a smile on his face before making his way back to the Eggmoble parked in the sand. "Getting ready for a little trip, my spherical friend~"
A ping on one of the holo screens causes Orbot to look at it in shock for but a moment before sighing and collapsing into ball form to roll after Ivan.
Putting on a nice winter jacket taken out of the trunk of the Eggmoble, Ivan picks up Orbot and jumping into the cockpit, placing him in a magnetic holder as he reopens
Orbot: "Which E series are we bringing for this mission, boss? I have the data of the heroes around the area, right here"
Taking a glance at the screen of hero names, Ivan hums in thought for a moment before a slow smile forms on his face.
Ivan: "I have an idea most ingenious~ I'll tell you on the way~"
Closing the cockpit's glass dome, Ivan laughs as the Eggmoble blasts off at high speed towards its set location, while above the clouds a large shadow passes through, following the genius to his destination.

Arguing. That was the only thing that could be heard from the offices of the HPSC's main meeting room should anyone walk by.
One man in a suit and ram horns on his head slams his fist onto the table with a scowl on his face.
Judicial Rep: "He needs to be delt with! That kind of technology shouldn't be possible for one person!"
Another man with hair made of wires sighs and shoots the Judicial representative a glare.
Emergency Rep: "We can't track him! When we tried to lock onto his flight path based on reports from the beach, we got nothing! It puts our best stealth tracking technology to shame!"
A woman with red skin and another set of arms nods along in agreement with the Emergency Services representative as she adjusts her glasses with a calm frown.
Social service Rep: "There lies another problem. I Island has expressed Intrigue in the boy's robots and technology. It's only a matter of time before they find something in the wreckage they gained and label him as one of their 'Darlings'"
Another woman with six glowing purple eyes shakes her head at what the Social services representative said with a tired smile
Infrastructure Rep: "If that happens, we'll have not only the Rat as a problem, but I island as well. The city would be thrown into chaos for everyone. Our best course for now is to try this discreetly, not to charge in with little information"
The Judicial representative slams his hands on the table again as he stands up.
Judicial Rep: "Oh, how could we forget the Rat in charge of UA! That little fur ball is definitely looking into the boy as we speak. We need to act now!"
The HPSC president lets the arguing continue for a moment longer before getting everyone's attention.
HPSC President: "Enough! I understand the implications and risks this boy brings. However, we can't rush this. The more he continues with this act, the more information we have about him and his capabilities. Then, and only then, will we respond openly is that clear?"
The representatives look at each other for a silent moment before looking back to the HPSC President with a nod, causing them to smile as they press a button on their desk.
Causing a projector to extent from the ceiling and turn on. Displaying a video taken from the phone showing a young boy making a snowman outside his house, before he looks up and stares at something, causing the recorder to lift the phone and catch the shadow of something large moving through the clouds.
HPSC President: "We just got this video a few hours ago from one of our agents in Tokamachi. We looked through the flight data of airports, and no plane was scheduled to fly through that area. Leaving one suspect. I've already had the agent send word to the local heroes in the area. So whatever that boy is doing, we'll learn and file it for later~"
All : "Yes, President!"
As the Representatives exit the room, the HPSC President gets up and walks over to look out the window overlooking the city with a slight smile on their face.
HPSC President: "What an interesting time to be alive~ The stage is yours for now child, but how long before the audience overwhelms you?"

.
A small tuff of green hair could be seen looking through and collecting any slightly or even partly functioning electronics and small mechanical devices he could find before putting them in a large backpack, which he adjusted to shift the weight.
Little green: "This stuff should be all I need for now. I will be a hero. Even if I don't have power, I'll make the world safer in my own way."
Making his way home, the boy ignores the burning in his legs as he keeps walking. The exhaustion is nothing he can't ignore; he's had to ignore worse pains.
The doctor telling him to give up his dream, the kids at school picking on him and calling him names, his friend leaving him alone and refusing to talk to him, and then the fear of his father not coming back because of his powerlessness.
He refuses to let this world take his smile. So, with a bright grin on his face, he begins to put more power into his steps as he looks to the clouds with a raised fist.
Little Green: "I'll do it like he did. Just like a new game, I'll reach my goal with every side quest in my way"
???: "You're weird. . . I like it!"
Yelping in surprise, the boy jumps back and nearly falls because of his backpack before righting himself and looking at the pink-haired girl with crosshair eyes smiling at him.
Little Green: "Oh, um. T-thanks? What are you doing here?"
Crosshair: "I was heading to the beach to look for parts for my babies! What are you doing?"
Little green: "Babies? Oh. I was getting parts for an entrance exam at a new school I'm going to. I needed parts, so I looked up the closest junkyard so my mom wouldn't have to spend any money"
Mei: "Ooh! Are you getting parts for babies too! That's so cool! We could be baby buddies! My name's Hatsume Mei, future owner of Hatsume Industries! But you can just call me Mei"
Izuku: "Baby buddies? Nice to meet you, Mei. I'm Midoriya Izuku. You can call me Izuku.
Mei: "Okay, Little Green! Are the parts you found in your backpack? Let me see, Let me see!"
The little bundle of pink chaos rushes around him in a way that makes him dizzy before she simply pulls him to sit on the ground as she rummages through his bag.
Mei: "Wow! Not a bad haul, Little Green! We've got to look through the junk together if you found all this good stuff on your first dive"
Izuku: "Well, a side quest is a side quest, I guess. Plus, it is nice to find someone as crazy about this stuff as I am with quirks. Guess it wouldn't hurt to try making a new friend. And if she leaves, I'm used to it."

.
Officers are rushing around with files in their arms, some grabbing weapons and body armor, while one leads a group of six pro heroes deeper inside the department.
Officer: "Sorry to call you all on such short notice. But the situation called for imitant action. The Chief is just behind these doors."
Sanding aside, the officer lets the five enter the room before going to get geared up himself.
Inside the room, a man in his late thirties looks to the group of pros with a nod and puff from his cigar.
Chief: "About time. The little time we gave is already enough for our problem to get himself situated.
A slight flicker of the man's eyes causes the projector in the room to activate. Showing the Arial video of a massive orange building with four lasers beaming into the ground for a moment before turning off, allowing two large purple robots to walk under and begin excavating rocks before the drone is shot out of the air.
Chief: "I'm sure you already know. But the new B rank villain Dr.Robotnic has set up shop in this part of town and appears to be looking for something."
A new set of images appears from the projector. The first shows Ivan wearing a winter coat as he points to a spot for one of the large purple robots. The second image taken from some trees shows two large white robots with brown accents standing guard in front of a large gate between a large steel wall.
The Third and final image shows a total of twenty small orange robots, all with different ranged weapons, walking around different parts of the makeshift Dig site while another two of the robots from the second image are seen moving crates in the background.
Chief: "These are the forces we will go up against during this attack. Does anyone have questions?"
a man wearing a suit made of black fur that covers his entire body except his hands and fingers raises his hand. While the Guest Name-tag on his chest reads Kesagiri Man.
Kesagiri: "Are you sure we shouldn't get more pros here? With how big this operation of his looks, we should have more than just us"
Chief: "That's the problem. Most of the pros that could help don't have quirks that function in this cold. Luckily, the HPSC sent some military equipment for this, just three tanks and two attack helicopters. Anyone else?"
A woman with floating white hair, and wearing a customized hazmat suit with a pair of large tesla coils on the back, raises her hand next while her nametag reads Electra.
Electra: "How will we be attacking? We can't just charge the front gate. And I don't think we could airdrop in."
Chief: "We got that. One of our officers has a quirk that lets them drill through the ground easily. It's how we got the drop on some underground drug dealers a few months ago. The plan is simple. Get you all tunneled inside and begin the assault. Once the gates open for the other two bots outside to come in, that's when we rush in with the tanks and rest of the officers. Last Question?"
A man wearing a simple yellow bodysuit decorated with bold black lines and an identically colored utility belt raises his hand while his nametag reads Eel Boy.
Eel Boy: "How do we know if this is the real kid or not? The last time he showed up, it was just a robotic decoy. I don't want to hurt the kid just cause I thought he was a fake"
A few other heroes nod to that, having watched the fight themselves or on the TV. Even Crust, who's currently looking at the other images of the Dig Site, couldn't help but pause remembering that decoy which seemed too human.
Chief: "Luckily, we won't have to worry about that"
The projector how's a slide of Ivan flying to an unknown location from the dig site within his Eggmobile.
Chief: "This was taken a few hours ago. Right now we can attack full force since the kid seems to think his operation can handle itself. This is our shot to end whatever he's trying to set up, so let's get going!"

Howdy! Let me ask something. How do you make too much money to get a one-bedroom apartment but too little money to get a one-bedroom house? I have to look for a two-bedroom apartment to live alone. What's happening?
Anyway. I'm taking a break from home searching to get back into writing. Don't know what the next book update will be, but we'll see.
Ciao!~
