(The next day)
It has been a day since the massacre that took place in the Mōko base and now the whole world is about to find out about the existence of a monster living in Japan.
************************************************
// Might Tower //
All Might sat on the couch in his office, he had just returned from his daily patrolling. In the past he could spend the whole day patrolling and he would not even break a sweat but that was not the case anymore, his injuries left him severely weakened and reduced his hero activities to just three hours everyday.
Releasing a tired sigh he shrunk into his Small Might form and tried to relax his tired muscles by watching the news and try to catch some shut eye.
But that was not to be because as soon as he turned on the TV he was met with some horrifying news.
[...last night the Hosu Police Department received an anonymous tip about the presence of a large gang operating in the area as well as the location of their base of operations, when the police arrived at the location they were met with an entire underground fortress of a base and that's not all....almost all members of the gang, approximately two hundred of them were found brutally killed in the deepest floor of the base...]
All Might couldn't help but sit up from his seat at the news. How had they not know about the existence of such a large group, that too with access to such a large base.
"....could He be making a move again?...no..."
But before he could ponder more about that particular subject the news anchor continued.
[....the Chief of the Hosu Police Department has given an official statement regarding this incident....the surviving members of the gang have been arrested and are receiving medical and psychological attention as they have been left in a critical state both physically and mentally....it appears that this massacre was the work of a single entity if the testimonies of the survivors are to be trusted....an entity of 'Carnage' in their words...]
He could not longer relax after that, he quickly went to his desk an contacted the Hosu Police Department.
After a few rings a voice answered in a tired tone.
"How may I help you All Might, the Chief is currently busy at the site dealing with the media. But he left me in charge while he's gone so if it's within my power i will try my best to help you.."
"Ah Tanaka...is that so...i just saw the news about the situation there, can you send me a document about the whole case? I couldn't just sit here and relax after that, especially due to the scale of this incident."
"No problem All Might, i have already organised and prepared several documents to send to several agencies, i can send you the most detailed one but....I'm warning you ahead of time, they are very graphic...it may even be the worst one caused by a person in the history of quirks..."
"....is that so...I will send personel to help you, don't push yourself too hard Tanaka."
"..hehe...well we have to give our all in times like these, don't you think so? Plus Ultra and all that."
"Hahaha, i guess you are right. It was nice to talk again Tanaka."
"The pleasure was all mine, the documents should arrive soon. Have a nice day All Might."
"You too.."
As soon as he ended the call the documents came through, he sat down and began looking through the contents.
The more he looked the more horrified he became, he had seen many terrifying and horrible things in his time as a hero, from the death of his mentor to the cries for help amidst a disaster. But what he saw in those pictures...it was different from what he was used to, this was not destruction and death for the sake of power or greed nor was it a disaster....this was worse, it was a slaughter, it was the type of scene left behind by someone who enjoyed the slaughter itself, it was brutal, it was chaotic and it was something no ordinary villain could do.
He had seen the identities and quirks of the gang members, mutant type quirks boosted by Trigger. That was the most impressive part.
There were not many people who could survive two hundred Trigger boosted mutant type quirk users, especially all at the same time...he could...but that was because it was him.
"I hope He is not involved in this..."
************************************************
// Endeavour Agency //
Endeavour looked at the documents in his hands in silence. He had received them from Tanaka a few minutes ago.
The contents of the documents made his blood boil, how had they not known about this gang? How had such a massacre happened right under the neighborhood and not one soul had heard it? How had such a large quantity of Trigger been obtained by the gang? And most importantly, how did someone kill hundreds of Trigger boosted quirk users, mutant type at that, all by themselves?
Even he wouldn't be able to survive them without completely destroying the surroundings. But this 'Carnage' had managed to kill..no slaughter them all, the fact that it happened in Hosu made him even angrier.
How was he supposed to defeat All Might and become the number one hero when he couldn't even take care of something that happened in one of the cities he patrolled the most.
"*Tsk*"
He burned the document in his hands and called for Burnin.
"Yess boss?.."
"Increase the patrolls around the city, in pairs, one senior one junior, and schedule a press meeting for tomorrow, i will catch this so called 'carnage' myself."
"Ya got it boss!"
Burnin saluted before immediately barking out orders to all the sidekicks and interns informing them about the new paintings, she then went inside her office to make a phone call.
Endeavour meanwhile went out again, hoping to find some villains to help him take his edge off on.

// Ingenium Agency //
Ingenium was currently trying his best to not throw up as he looked at the contents of the documents in his hands.
What he saw were horrifying pictures of people, some suspended by their own entrails, some impaled on the wall, some with half eaten torsos, some with their heads bitten off.
He had never seen such a level of violence in his career.
He put down the documents and took a calming breath. This was not the time to be weak, whoever did this was still out there somewhere and something like this could happen again.
He thought about his brother and his parents and imagined them as victims of this monster. He could not allow that possibility to occur.
Hosu was under his protection, it was his duty to protect the citizens and make them feel safe in their neighborhoods. He won't allow this monster to have the chance to do something horrific like this ever again.
Strengthening his resolve, he began making his way out of the building. He would rather drop dead before letting this villain continue his massacre.
************************************************
// Stain's pov //
He had been out shopping for supplies when his attention was caught by the TV in the store. It was the news about some massacre that took place last night.
He had heard about that gang, they mostly dealt with assassinations and destruction of evidence. But for one person to kill an entire base all on his own...now that was interesting.
The other customers couldn't help but give horrified gasps and whispers at the news.
"How did a gang come into possession of an entire underground base? How did not one notice?"
"Did not one hear the sounds of the fight?"
"They were on the deepest floor idiot, how would they hear? Use your brain!"
"What'd ya say? Who's an idiot? Huh?!"
"Shut up and move! You're holding up the line!"
"I will stand here as long as I want asshole!"
.....this however, was not intresting.
"*mumble*...every single time..."
************************************************
// Dabi's pov //
"*sigh*"
He had been regected from yet another establishment.
It used to be easier getting a part time job when he had less scars, but now that they had become worse it became much harder landing even a small time one.
He had resorted to looting his victims to survive but said victims were broke trash of society so that was very profitable.
He was debating on whether he should start contacting a broker and working as a mercenary.
"....rent is due next week....maybe i should just threaten the landlord.....but he's been there for me since I started my new life....*sigh*...maybe i should try that underground fight club those thugs were talking about.."
As he was complaining about the current state of the economy, his attention was caught by the news being played in the giant screen across the street, many other's interests were also caught.
It was about a massacre that took place last night in Hosu and how a gang was almost completely wiped out by a single individual.
"...well how about that....I wonder if he looted the base after he was done...if there were any Trigger leftover they would sell for a lot...maybe i should try drug dealing...nahh."
Saying that he continued on his way, making up his mind to look for that fight club..
************************************************
// All For One pov //
In a dark room somewhere underground a person was resting, connected by various tubes and machines to help him stay alive as he recovered from injuries inficted years ago.
He was listening to the current state of society above, and right now, something interesting had caught his interest.
Someone had killed an entire gang of Trigger boosted mutant type quirk users. As someone who was involved in the development of the drug in the first place, he knew how strong of an effect a dose of high quality Trigger can have.
To defeat hundreds of them single-handedly, they must be someone very skilled or someone with a very strong quirk that countered most physical type quirks.
Maybe he should look for this individual, young Tomura needed strong allies after all. If not He could still use their quirk to finally put that symbol of peace in his place once and for all and finally be reunited with his brother.
"Are you perhaps intrested in this 'carnage' they are talking about?"
Dr.Garaki said from where he was, looking at the results from his latest experiments. The Nomu project had been a success, this meant they could start mass production of the successful versions instead of the experimental prototypes. But that didn't mean the prototypes were useless, he was sure they would have their use in the future. Further development and research would also help in that.
He replied in a deep raspy voice, which was further muffled by the oxygen mask on his face.
"Well I am intrigued by what type of quirk he possess, to be able to defeat hundreds of drugged up mutants. It would have to be an impressive quirk."
"Yes, very much so. My sources informed me that it might be a powerful mutant type quirk, there were a large number of bite marks, not to mention several body parts being missing, especially the head."
"Well, in that case it would prove an interesting Nomu don't you think so?"
"Very muc-.."
But before Garaki could continue, a voice spoke from one of the tools he used to speak when he could not do so from his mouth.
"Awwwwwwww....I am thankful that you find me interesting, someone of your caliber taking an interest in little ol me... I am glad your royal potato-headness...hahahaha"
Before he could answer the voice....he felt it.
All of his quirks suddenly stopped working, the rapid regeneration that kept him from having further injuries and kept him alive, the various quirks he used to perceive his surroundings in place of his eyes, even his All for One quirk suddenly stopped.
And in that moment he felt like he was rapidly aging, becoming weaker while his body tore itself. He could not perceive his surroundings like he used to, suddenly he was very aware of his blindness.
He released a cry of pure agony but just as suddenly as it had happened, it ceased.
His quirks worked overtime to fix his injuries while he began to perceive his surroundings again.
"Scared for a second there weren't you? Hahahahaha...aaaaaahh...don't worry, I won't kill you yet...just wanted to rid you of any thoughts you may have had of trying to place yourself higher than me in that potato you call your head.."
"Just wanted to let you know.... don't ever place yourself above me okay... I will have to kill you if that happened and i don't want that right now....okay?...byeee..hahahahahaha"
He could only manage out ragged breaths as he struggled to recover from the sensation of his quirks suddenly stopping.
************************************************
// Carnage pov //
What? Did he think he would forever be some big time overlored overseeing everything from the shadows with no one aware of his presence?
Not a chance....unlike him... I see everything...
"Heh....get it?"
"...."
"Cus he has no eyes?"
"...."
"I need some friends, I'm going insane here!"
