Chapter 1 - First Steps

-Location: Shinjuku Prefecture- 

-Date: September 13th, 2003- 

-POV: Emma Frost- 

Coming to Japan wasn't on my schedule for this week. But a potential Omega Level Mutant had been found. 

Charles, as always, was one of the first to arrive. Alongside Erik no less. I swear, those two have to jerking each other. 

They say they hate each, but they bounce off one another like twins. It's truly irritating. 

But who cares about two old men. I'm here for the young one. Charles reluctantly shared the information he gathered about the boy. 

His name is Tomura Shigaraki, he's 21 years old. A few years young than me, which would most likely help. 

His x-gene is alpha level, but with omega level potential. And he's apparently like me, and has a secondary mutation. 

Another pro leaning in my favor. But a con is, he's apart of the Yakuza. And some of our old enemies are actually under this man. 

Silver Samurai, Logan's all nemesis. The most dangerous, Shingen Harada. He's only human, but he could fight Logan to a standstill. But that was when the smelly brute was poisoned. So he'd be easy for us to handle. 

Those were the only two that really mattered. There were a few others, like Shirohana. But she mainly stayed in her territory. 

Anyway. 

I exist the limo and see the huge compound in front of me. There were guards in the front. 

I peaked into their minds a bit, and seen that we were expected. Charles, being helped by Hank and Scott, gave me a look. 

He was also surprised at how we were expected. 

"It seems like this man is more interesting than we initially thought." Said Charles. 

"Do tell old friend." Said Erik. 

"He's expecting us." Said Charles. 

"Yes, and I can sense about 300 minds in this building. Most of them congregate in the center. I'm guessing that's where our friend is waiting." I said with a slight smirk. 

This man is interesting. 

We soon walk forward and the guards bow, and open the gate for us. When it opened, I was surprised to see Shirohana waiting. 

She wasn't alone, as she had a few guards with her. 

"Hello fellow mutants. The boss is waiting for you in his study." Said Shirohana as she bowed and escorted us. 

As we walked(except Charles), I looked around and seen a beautiful scenery. A well kept garden, a pond full of koi, a small bamboo garden, etc. 

It was all around taken care of. This was a place I could spent some time at. 

We continued, and after a few minutes, we were in front of a door. Shirohana kneeled down and slid the door open. 

"Shigaraki-sama, your guest are here." Said Shirohana. 

It's a bit weird seeing a mutant assassin act this way, but it is their tradition to respect hierarchy. 

"Oh, come in. Thanks Hana-Chan." Said the man in the chair. 

Now that I look at him, he's a bit handsome. I could seduce him a little, men are the same, so showing a bit of skin will get him. 

"Hello Dr. Charles Xavier, Ms. Emma Frost, and Sir Erik Lensherr. Have a seat." Said the man named Tomura. 

He had long white hair, red eyes, and a scar on his lips. It was on the left side of his mouth. 

I could also see he had a black glove on his left hand. This made me curious. 

"So what do I owe the pleasure to the figure heads of mutant society?" Asked Tomura as he looked at all of us. 

I and Erik came alone, but Charles came with Hank and Scott. So there was five of us. But I took the initiative. 

"Well firstly, you have a beautiful home. Who's the architect and interior designer?" I asked. 

I was genuinely curious. 

"Oh, she's a human. Her name is Yuriko Sato. I'll give you her information." Said Tomura. 

That was easy. 

"Besides that, we came to recruit you. I'm sure you've dealt with your fair share of abuse by the hands of humans." Said Erik. 

"Yeah, I have been abused. By one particular human though. It was my father, the former leader of the Yakuza. Evil bastard he was." Said Tomura. 

"He gave me this you know. Said that scars make the man. I got this at the age of ten. Pretty wicked, am I right?" Asked Tomura as he pointed at the scar on his lips. 

It seems he has more trauma than he's letting on. 

"I'm sorry you had to go through that. You never showed up on our radar until recently. It's truly astonishing how that happened." Said Charles. 

"Oh that, I stopped it from locating me. My main mutation allows me to take mutations from others. So I have a lot of really cool abilities. One of them is the manipulation of Radio Waves. I'm sure you used a machine to locate me from New York. So I blocked it." Said Tomura. 

Wow! 

Well that's new. He told us so casually, and without hesitation. Usually mutants don't tell others their mutation. 

"Why'd you tell us your gift? I can tell you don't trust us?" I asked out of curiosity. 

"Because I can kill you easily." Said Tomura with a blank expression. 

!!!!

That set off alarms in all of our heads. But Charles, Erik, and I kept composure. Along with Hank, but Scott didn't. 

"Hey? show some respect." Said Scott in a loud voice as he hand rested on his visor. 

SWOOOOSH!!

A sword rested on Scott's neck. A man in silver armor held Scott at sword point. 

"You show respect. You're in the bosses home. I can cut you down before your finger touches that button." Said Silver Samurai. 

"Calm yourself Scott. Mr. Shigaraki was only answering Ms. Frosts question." Said Charles. 

Scott lowered his hand, and the same with Silver Samurai. 

"Now, go ahead. Tell me your pitches." Said Tomura. 

"Like I said before, if you come to my school, you will get optimal training. And you get to be around your people." Said Charles. 

"That sounds good, but I have mutants here. And I've had my mutation since I was 13, I've trained for years, and I'm a master in multiple forms of combat. Next." Said Tomura. 

"With your help, we could make mutants the dominant species on earth. You've said it yourself. You know what it's like to live among them. join the brotherhood." Said Erik. 

"Nah, sounds like a cult. Humans do hate mutants for no reason, but you and your people contribute to their hatred. In Japan, there is discrimination against mutantkind, but not as much as the states. I did say my father was abusive, but my uncle was the one who saved me. He was human. I've seen human kindness firsthand. So no." Said Tomura. 

His eyes settled on me, and I was a bit stuck. At first I was going to seduce him, but throughout this entire interaction, I've been throwing out hints, and he's been ignoring them. I could tell because he would glance at me everytime I did something. 

So he's not a man who thinks with his lower half. That's good, but also bad. That means he's not easily manipulated. 

So what could I appeal to? 

He has national power. I've did my research before coming here. He's build a community in this country. 

He's funded outreach programs for mutants. Funded schools, hospitals, orphanages, etc. He's a good person. 

But he's a scared man too. 

"I'm apart of an organization called the Hellfire club. I could get you a position of power. Maybe as my White Knight. You gain political power and so much more." I said. 

His eyes looked more focused now. He smiled a bit. 

"White knight? No, that won't do. Who's the current White King?" Asked Tomura. 

"It's vacant." I said with honesty. 

"Then I'll take that. And the current black king, Sebastian Shaw? He needs to go." Said Tomura. 

Is he planning on killing Shaw? That's impossible, right?" 

"I didn't tell you my secondary mutation. But that can wait until we're alone." Said Tomura. 

He stood up and shook both Charles, Erik, and Hanks hands. He completely ignored Scott. 

"I appreciate you all coming this far. But I'll be joining Ms. Frost. Her ideals align with mine. But I hope we could have a good relationship going forward. We're all mutants after all." Said Tomura. 

"Yes, I thank you for giving us the time." Said Charles as he rode away. 

Erik didn't say anything and left. 

Now it was just me and Tomura. He looked at me and smiled. 

"Hana-Chan, barrier please." Yelled Tomura. 

SNAP! 

The sound of fingers snapping rang throughout the room, and a barrier enclosed us. If he was planning on attacking me, I'd have no where to go. 

"I'm not gonna attack you. I want to show you my second mutation." Said Tomura. 

I dropped my guard a bit, but was still cautious. 

He grabbed a glass ball off of his desk, and held it in his right hand. Soon enough, it started to crack and it exploded into dust. 

My eyes wided in surprise. 

"It's called Decay. I can destroy anything I touch and turn it into dust. And when I say anything, I mean anything. Do you understand?" Asked Tomura as he looked at me. 

"Of course. So what are your plans?" I asked. If he wanted to be white king, he needed a plan. 

"Firstly, I will introduce my self as the new white king. I fit the qualifications. I basically run Japan, I have the prime minister and Emperor in my pocket. I also have shares in Stark and your company." Said Tomura, much to my surprise. 

"You do? How? The share meetings happen every month." I said with some exaggeration. 

"You know Shiro Yoshimura? He's my stand in. He's been Yakuza for over 40 years. He can retire now." Said Tomura. 

Shiro? That nice Japanese man is Yakuza. And he got in without my knowledge? This man is dangerous. 

And he bypassed my mental check. I read the minds of all of my shareholders to make sure they're not corrupt. 

Old man Shiro usually thought about his son and granddaughter. To be able to pull one on a telepath of my level is impressive. 

I like it a lot. 

"Anyway, I will be killing Shaw, taking all of his assets and his ownership of Shaw Industries. Oh, and I'll be taking his X-gene too." Said Tomura. 

"Let's go, we're taking your plane. Hana-chan and Harada-San with be tagging along. They will be my white knights." Said Tomura. 

That's a good idea. He can't just walk in without any leverage or backup. I will be there, but the council is mainly under Shaw's control. It's really Selene, but let's not talk about that. 

"So, Emma Frost, will you be my queen? If you follow me, any and all things you want will come into fruition. All you have to do is say the word." Said Tomura. 

Become his queen? 

He makes it sound so enticing. But I can't come off as easy. 

"If I do become your queen, will you control me?" I asked. I hated being controlled. It's a shameful feeling. 

"Never, I don't like the word control. Everyone should have their free will. But I'll tell you now, I get attached easily, and my love is easily shared. So you may not be the only one. Will you accept that?" Asked Tomura. 

So he's still a man after all. But I'll bite, I want to see where this goes.

"I will, but the women must be equal or superior to me. I will not allow some tramp to invade on what's rightfully mine. And I come first, always." I said as I stood up and looked him in the eyes. 

He was tall, and I was a tall woman. I'm even wearing heels, but he's still taller. 

"Always and Forever, Mrs. Frost." Said Tomura as he grabbed my hand and kissed it. 

His lips were soft and warm. I could get used to this. 

"I'm sure you took a private jet. Let's take it back to Massachusetts. I'm sure the club is waiting for your return." Said Tomura as he still held my hand and lead me out. 

This feeling. Being held by someone powerful. I never knew I needed something like this. 

Oh Sebastian, I pity you. 

-Location: Boston Massachusetts- 

-Date: September 15th, 2003- 

-POV: Narrator- 

On the plane ride, Emma explained all of the current members of the club. 

Sebastian Shaw was a wannabe leader, Selene Gallio was an ancient Mutant, and Donald Pierce was Shaw's lapdog. 

She didn't have anyone in her faction, but due to her Omega level telepathy, the others never acted. She did have some young mutants, but they weren't ready. 

But now with Tomura, she could start enacting her plans. But Shaw was her biggest obstacle. Selene never really cared to interact with her plans. 

But Shaw felt as if it was his obligation to have her. He would openly flirt, which made her highly uncomfortable. 

Tomura told her she didn't have to worry about that anymore. 

When they landed, it was 3am. So Tomura just stayed at Emma's penthouse. 

-Later That Day- 

Tomura and Emma were now in a limo. She had on an all white suit with an opening around the chest area. She also had a long all white coat. 

Tomura had on an all white suit. It matched his white hair, which was tied up in a bun. 

"When you enter, Shaw will try and show you up. He's petty, and will try to get the upper hand in discussions we have." Said Emma. 

"Don't worry, when I shake his hand, he will be dust. Not before I take his ability though." Said Tomura as he looked out the window and watched. 

They soon arrived just outside of Boston. There was a private facility. There were no guards, but you were being watched. 

They drove inside and went to the underground garage. 

They were met by a woman with pink skin and no visible pupils in her eyes. Tomura recognized her, but kept his expression blank. 

"The Inner Circle awaits you both." Said Blink. 

A portal soon opened, and they stepped through. What came into view was wooden doors, polished to perfection. 

The doors opened, and a room with a round table sat in the middle. At the table sat a woman with long onyx black hair. She was stunning. 

Next to her was a man with brown hair, and killer sideburns. He looked like an English aristocrat. These two were Selene Gallio and Sebastian Shaw. 

Blink took her place behind Selene, and a man with red skin stood behind Shaw. Across from those two, was a man with blonde hair. He wore a black suit. 

Tomura could sense that radio waves coming off of him. That was most likely his cybernetics. 

"Hello my compatriots. I've ground Tomura Shigaraki. Leader of the Yakuza." Said Emma as she took her seat. 

Tomura just walked around and table and stopped at Shaw. 

"You must be the leader! It's a pleasure." Said Tomura as he held out his right hand. 

Azazel was about to move, but Shaw raised his hand and stopped him. 

Shaw stood up and took Tomura's hand. They shook, but when Shaw tried to take his hand back, he couldn't. 

"Well, nice knowing you." Said Tomura. 

CRACK! 

Shaws arm immediately started disintegrating. Shaw grabbed his arm and yelled. Azazel was about to move, but Emma stunned him with telepathy. 

Tomura took off his left glove and revealed a small needle on the palm of his hand. He could retract it, but he didn't. 

He placed his hand on Shaw's head, and started Absorbing his X-gene. After five seconds, Tomura finished and just turned Shaw's head to dust. 

He put his glove on and sat in Shaw's seat. 

"Well, seems like we're missing a black king. Bummer. Anyway." Said Tomura. 

"I'm the new white king, all of Shaw's assets an his company now belong to me. I expect a full transfer by tomorrow. Oh, and for those who aren't close to me, Call me All For One." Said Tomura as he kicked his feet up. 

Selene smiled a bit, as this new mutant intrigued her. 

Donald Pierce couldn't move, as Emma also stunned him. 

The reign of All For One Begins now. 

To Be Continued….

===============================

Tomura is a reincarnated person. I'm sure you figured that out already. He has knowledge of comics and movies. So expect him to be a real manipulator. 

He's not necessarily evil, but he's not a good person either. He will kill, but that's about all he'll do. He has a strict code that yall will see next chapter. A bit of it was shown in this one. 

His people come first. Since he's a mutant, he'll be at the front lines fighting against the discrimination they face. He has a list of targets he wants to take out. 

The Genosha incident will not "happen" for a while. And Krakoa will be a long time from now.
