The King & Pawns
This is a reupload because i forgot to post it in volume two.
======================
[[Pov:Takahashi]]
It has been three hours since Helga became one with me.
There have been some significant changes over all to my physique and quirk usage.
The most significant is the two hearts beating on both sides of my body my hight has incresed by two inches.
My muscles have become less defined due to my body probabaly producing estrogen in some amounts ? I don't know but the ripped physique was damaged to quite an extant.
My face gained a bit of feminine features and my eyebrows changed a bit.
My bones feel stronger and my muscles feel like they are packed with much more strength than they appear to have.
The sun hasn't risen yet so i have yet to take in any energy from the sun.
Out of all the changes that occured the most significant is the mental battle i had going in inside me.
I felt a sense of emptiness within myself, the actions i have been taking so far have only been within the interest to safeguard mother with my strength and grow as more of a better person than what i uses to be.
But was that truly it ? The answer is no.
All this time i had only been deciding on things on pure 'Just do it' with no real reason.
Why did i choose this path despite having tons of other ways to do so? Was it really just my inner evil? I do not know.
It's not sadness that weighs heavy on my heart, nor is it happiness.
Instead, it's a profound sense of wrongness, a feeling of being adrift in a sea of uncertainties.
The feeling was burried somewhere in my head the incident and memories of Helga's life just acted as a catalyst to make them explode.
The parallels between our lives, were easily visible perhaps the only thing different was our point of veiw towards life.
Her end was filled to the brim with regrets while mine was filled with thankfulness for the sweet release of death.
I wish i could learn more about her other than the few hazy memories i got due to her vestige.
Well its useless now since she is dead and so is any influence on her quirk that remained .
The whole mindscape debacle also allowed me to see a new path.
A path far more sinister which i hate myself for even thinking about,
For now i have held myself from enacting it.
But if i ever need power quickly it is the way to go.
I dislike destroying potential of people but i won't hesitate to step on someone's life if i need to do so for progressing in my path.
Everyone else is just a means to my path , waiting to be used to their full potential.
As my thoughts progress the feeling of an energy influx disturbs me out of it, the rays of sun hitting my body sending an energy shock to my entire body.
My quirk reacts lilewise activating on its own as my face starts burning up ,i quickly get rid of my shirt as i bask in the sunlight feeling energy coursing through me increasing by the second.
My muscles start heating up and skin became dry as my veins start glowing how they do when i use [Pyro Sovereignty].
The skin cracks and falls off turning to ash as my face lights up in flames.
Soon my my torso follows as i continue to heat up and pulsing red veins grow into the floor board below and my clothes.
My sense and dominion spreading far beyond me as the merged and stronger [Pyro Sovereignty] takes effect .

As i am basking in my power my thoughts from earlier repeat into my mind.
An echo of voice growing in the back of my head , the flames grow stronger and stronger as my mind becomes hazy.
A shillouette appears in my vision someone completely identical to me someone i can tell to be the owner of this body.
The real Takahashi.
But before i could say anything to him he stops my efforts with a simple hand raise and continues with a small sentence
"Its time for me to go , even if you are twisted Individual your love for mother is genuine, I have been observing the things you have been doing , at least the me that got left behind as a vestige"
I just continued staring without a response since he did seem to want to continue his part.
"At first i didn't trust you and was afraid of you so i tried my best to impede you from gaining your rightful power as the king , i used almost all my essence that was left behind just to deprive you of it"
My thoughts went to the obvious thing.
"But i realised that I'm simply being irrational and futile , witnessing Helga's and your life made me realise something"
Perhaps sensing my unease in the comfrontation he decided to end his talk with a halt.
"But why would it even matter ? i am just a memory left behind nothing else , I on behalf only ask you one thing king of flames , Please give her the son i never cpuld be"
As he said that he disappeared without waiting for a response.
Suddenly , like an unbound river a wave of power rushes out of me as black lightning danced around my form.
*zing*
A wave of haki emerged from the depths of my soul as a metaphorical lock clicked open inside me.
The sky churned into a vortex and the wind blew like a bomb's explosion.
And like a dream the Haki stopped abruptly disappearing within the span of five second of its activation activation.
But those five seconds felt like an year to me.
It was a momentary and forceful activation, unlike anything I had ever experienced before.
In those fleeting seconds, I was connected to a vast network of energy, a web that spanned across the land.
With my Haki unleashed, my senses expanded beyond the confines of my room, reaching out to touch the very essence of every living being within nearly a hundred kilometers.
Every person with a fire quirk, every creature, even the earth itself responded to my presence, albeit faintly.
From the smallest of feather falling on the ground to the raging core of the earth i felt connected to everything.
In the moments of connection, I felt a profound sense of belonging, as if I was intricately woven into the fabric of the universe itself.
It was as though I could hear the whispers of the flames, feel the heartbeat of the earth, and sense the rhythm of life pulsating through every living thing.
Yet i was too weak to seize control , the earth refused to recognise me and life seemed to fickle to control.
But i wasn't disappointed , infact i was grinning like the biggest fool in the world as even though [Pyro Sovereignty] was aflame with indignation from being denied the rightful ownership due to me being its user.
The power trip brought me closer to my true path , it was like a guide to enlightenment , this power was not just a gift, but a calling.
It was a signpost pointing me towards my rightful place , my destiny waiting to be fulfilled.
Me as the King and the world as my pawn.

[[Pov:Narration]]
In a dark room somewhere in japan a man with a vlack suit and white hair is sitting in front of a TV with a news channel currently on.
The morning report begins with Ichigo, a seasoned news anchor of JNN, his voice somber.
"Good morning, Japan. Today, I bring you a disheartening news from Iceland, where a catastrophic event which is being speculated to be a villain attack has unfolded at sunrise. Our ground reporter, Camilla is present currently in Reykjavik the center stage of this horrific incident"
The screen switches to footage of Camilla, her usually composed demeanor replaced by a disheveled appearance, yet her professionalism evident as she delivers her report.
"The scene in Iceland about an hour ago was nothing short of chaos. People collapsing, animals fleeing in panic, and a sense of panic gripping everyone."
Images flash across the screen, showcasing the aftermath of the incident , piles of crashed cars on roads and the efforts of emergency responders trying and failing to keep the panic under control.
The camera pans back to Ichigo as he continues.
"The incident's nature is unclear however the attack was felt accross the capital from the reports we have the people fainted from feeling a sense of dread in their minds"
"Reports also indicate that the fainting duration varied, with younger individuals regaining consciousness after twenty to fifteen minutes, while the elderly still remain unconscious. MRI scans reveal neural damage in some of the elderly and newborns that were affected by the event."
As he speaks several medical MRI reports flash on the split screen.
"Tragically, the death toll continues to rise, with more than 130 confirmed fatalities and counting. Investigative agencies suspect that a large-scale mental attack quirk may be responsible for this unprecedented tragedy."
The camera pans to scenes of devastation in Iceland as smoke rise from various parts of the city and the sirens of emergency vehicles blaring accross the city.
"Animals also have been effected from this incident as many have fled from their homes, and shelters are reporting animals attempting self-harm. Sedation measures have been implemented to calm the situation and prevent further harm."
The camera pans back to camilla as she co tinues giving out live reporting but the man loses interst and mutes it.
"That power seems Interesting don't you think Garaki"
The white haired man adrreses the old looking man beside him as he smiles a sinister grin as his eyes glow with a red hue.
"Indeed it is definetly intersting,I wonder how strong the quirk user would have to be for such a large and widespread attack"
Garaki adds his own thoughts thinking about the possible experiments he could do with such power.
