A/N- These next two chapters will be building up for the mansion raid
--------------------------
After Eri had her fun she had to go back with Aizawa in the morning, she didn't fight it this time though since she had her fun already and was ready to leave. She tried to help clean up the pillow fort but no one let her so she just pouted cutely as Carter made her and Aizawa breakfast.
"Anything new happening, how's Joke?" Carter asked as Aizawa tried to shush him but it was too late. "Who's Joke?" Eri asked with eyes capable of melting a heart of ice as Carter grinned. "Mrs. Joke is a female pro hero who is GREAT friends with Aizawa." He said as Eri pestered Shota for more information about her since as far as she knew, Shota was only friends with her, Nezu, Class A and Mic.
Grumbling he still ate the food fixed for him as it was pretty good, he also glanced around to see if everything was as it should be, seeing the girls he'd already marked as 'Never leave in a room alone with Carter' come from the female dorms, he sighed in relief since he didn't want to have to walk in on them doing anything.
----------------------------
The next few days of class were more of the same, show up, breeze through the work and train like there's no tomorrow. Carter had noticed that his stats weren't growing anymore, he'd plateaued.
Since he wasn't doing any better stat wise he focused more on technique and unlocking all or his dragon forms.
For the Seawing bloodline, he made use of the massive hangar that Nezu gave him, making a large pit and filling it with water, and on days that they took them to the USJ for specific training, he'd throw himself into the massive lake.
That was only a cover for what he was REALLY doing, as he would get as deep as he could before teleporting to the sea around Nabu island, the same place they fought Nine.
By doing laps around the island and exploring the ocean around it he was able to make great progress and eventually hit the cap and underwent the trial of Sea.
It was interesting, he was thrown into the dragon world again, this time as a Seawing. The only thing the system told him was to survive, nothing more as usual.
He went around the Kingdom of the Sea exploring all the islands and enjoying the various foods of the Sea Kingdom.
He really liked the Undersea Palace, with the coral and gardens that glowed in the dark. He also learned to 'speak' aquatic with his scales, it was hard at first but once he got the basics down it was quick.
Eventually he found something fun to do, see a few lower class Seawing had made small villages on the mainland, the problem was that they were trespassing on Skywing land. So fights had broken out and he was one of the soldiers sent to deal with things.
Seeing Skywings was neat since they looked the most like traditional western dragons, fire breath and all. It wasn't fun to be on the receiving side of the fire and claws however as he suffered a few serious wounds before he got it through his skull that he didn't have any magic in this form since it wasn't his Nightwing form.
After a few more border skirmishes with the Skywing, the Queen decided to hold a banquet to smooth things over and invited Skywings as a way to mend relationships.
Being a soldier meant he was also there to protect the Royal Family in case the Skywings or any war loving Seawings got any ideas.
As the feast went along, He watched with interest the rising star of the Royal Family. Fathom, a prince, had come out as a animus a few months ago and had been training with the only other animus dragon in the whole tribe, who happened to be his grandfather and the Queens brother, Prince Albatross.
He didn't particularly like the older dragon, who felt wrong and made his scales crawl whenever he was near, Fathom was nice to be around, nervous but a good kid.
Tonight was no different, Fathom running around with that little crush of his as the Queen entertained her guests.
The only thing that bothered him was the lack of a certain older dragon, he was eyeing the food table when he noticed a knife in another dragons hand start to shake.
SHIT His eyes went wide as he knew exactly what was about to happen.
He yelled for the guards to form up on him as his eyes followed the knife as it flew and carved a wicked line across the Queen's throat, before landing snugly in Albatross's claws.
"What are you doing, what's going on?" Fathom's sister Pearl asked as Indigo, Fathoms crush tackled him to the ground as the knife flew over them and embedded itself into a dragons skull.
"Prince Albatross, stand down or be cut down!" Monsoon (Carter) Roared as the Royals and Skywing dignitaries panicked as they realized what was happening. Albatross didn't back down though as he called another knife to him. "What makes you think you stand a chance against me, a member of the Royal Family and an Animus at that?"
Seeing him control several more knives Monsoon glanced around and saw another two dragons had died as their cutlery turned against them, the Queen and her husband were already dead.
"Albatross has killed the Queen and is a danger to the Royal Family, kill him!" He ordered as chaos exploded. Monsoon and the soldiers with him threw themselves at Albatross who fought back with teeth and claws, sending knives to kill more dragons as he fought back fiercely.
Thankfully he wasn't as inventive since he hadn't ordered them to kill themselves, but that didn't make it any easier for them as Albatross would order knives and spears to turn on their owners, who could do almost nothing as the weapons the once wielded turned against them.
"Take this!" Albatross roared as the hurled a table at Monsoon, throwing him back as he landed hard next to Fathom and Indigo who were hiding under a table. "Ah my little grandson, such wasted potential, as useless as the rest of this wretched family." Albatross snarled as a trio of knives shot at them as Monsoon shoved them out of the way.
Wracking his brain Monsoon thought of all the lessons that Darkstalker had given him during his training, then he remembered how spells counteracted each other. "Fathom, you have to do it!" He roared as he threw another table at Albatross forcing him to dodge as he rushed him.
Seeing his grandson get away Albatross went into a fury as he sent several knives at Monsoon and several after what was left of the Royal Family. Dodging one Monsoon growled in pain as the last knife sunk deep into his back leg.
Seeing Albatross chase after Fathom he grit his teeth and removed the knife before wrapping the bleeding hole in his leg with a table cover that was already soaked in blood.
Limping as fast as he could he went in the direction that Albatross had went and found him toying with Fathom and Indigo. Spotting a couple of fishing spears close by he grabbed one as another floated up, he spotted Fathom and heard him scream at the spear to kill his grandfather. It shot forward but stopped dead in its tracks as Albatross commanded it to stop, the two commands warring for control over the spear.
The one in Monsoon's hands had no problem as he charge forward, ignoring the blinding pain in his leg as he stabbed the spear into Albatross's spine. He screamed in pain as his focus shattered and the spear Fathom now had singular control over shot forward and pierced him as well, killing him.
The next few days were a blur as he fought to stay alive in the medical ward of the Undersea palace. Unlike in cannon (Not that he would know) Pearl and Fathom were not the only surviving members of the Royal family. About four more were able to survive the Summer Palace massacre, one of them was the Queens daughter Lagoon, who was Pearl and Fathom's mother.
Several members of the family tried to have him killed since he had struck down Albatross, still refusing to accept that he had been crazy and wanted to kill them all, but Lagoon beat them for their stupidity and placed guards loyal to her around Monsoon to keep him safe as she decided what to do with him.
In the mean time, Fathom, Indigo and Pearl spent most of their time with Monsoon, listening to his ideas for animus magic that would keep the user's soul safe, things such as healing. Pearl listened if only to try and prove that all magic no matter the intention was evil, but Indigo and surprisingly Lagoon were against that, wanting Fathom to use his powers for good.
Fathom himself didn't want to use his powers ever again, but felt he didn't have any right to decide after what happened with Albatross, but that didn't bother Monsoon any as he soon recovered and was sent back to the human world, ready to pick the next dragon type.
---------------------------------------
After several months as a dragon, it was interesting coming back to having two limbs for walking instead of four, but he decided to choose his next form before tackling that problem.
Choosing Sandwing next he found a secluded part of Nabu island and shifted. He was around the same size as his Nightwing form but with none of the bulking muscles, this body was more lithe and spry compared to the others so far.
His tongue was forked and his eyes and pupils black, his scales also felt warmer than usual and the sun felt AMAZING on his scales as he sat in the sun basking for a few minutes.
His scales were a pale-gold color with a white-gold underbelly, he also had a pair of extra horns, one on his snout and behind his ears, but they were small and didn't get in the way.
On his back he noticed that there were patches of darker scales, black diamonds that reminded him of rattlesnakes that Cathleen pointed out to him the one time she was stationed in Texas for a few months.
He also had a sail that started at the base of his skull and went all the way down the length of his body, ending where his tail did. That's were the fun started though since unlike the other dragons, this one had more than just claws or teeth, the tail included a wicked stinger, barbed and ready to kill.
An assassins weapon He thought as he struck a tree with his stinger, happy to pierce the tree but surprised when it started to die, withering away at a visible pace. Seeing the venom start to spread to the ground he quickly burned the tree, at least what was left of it to keep it from poisoning the rest of the forest.
Happy with this outcome he turned back into a Seawing and swam into the ocean before teleporting back to U.A, a new card in the deck waiting to be used.
------------------------------------
Deep withing a Foundation black site, several Site Directors are connected via conference call as they decide how to move forwards, a member of the O5 Council is also attending, not that anyone other than them is aware.
"This marks the fifth attempted breach withing the last three weeks, we can't ignore it any longer." A man says as he displays a list of all the times a certain SCP has attempted to escape, many of the dates are close together,
"How do we know this isn't just it's renewed attempts at freedom, 682 has been quite forward with it's distaste for humanity." A woman asks as the man feels a headache start.
"Because it keeps screaming about finding the 'heir', we all know exactly what it's looking for." A man with Asian features sighs and nods.
"As far as we're concerned, he's only getting stronger, and aggressive, most attempts to capture or neutralize have ended in failure." He says as he displays footage of MTF teams dying to a massive dragon.
"Is there anything we can do to pull it to our side, or something we can do to force it to cooperate?" Someone asks but the man shakes his head.
"We reached out to U.A and although the principal has expressed his agreement, he refuses to move against Him, he is more concerned about the well being of his students, though he did send us a vial of blood that we're currently running tests on, results so far are useless."
The call is silent as they each read a packet of information about the tests that have been conducted with the small amount of blood they have, various photos of monstrous figures and violent cellular degradation deter their questions about human testing.
"What about his past, have we figured out how he arrived in our reality?" Several look up at that, since it's been a burning question for years now.
The hidden O5 council member speaks for the first time. "We think it was a natural birth, but the U.S government refuses to say how they found him, burying it deep. The only person who knows where he comes from is Star and Stripe, and a renegade member of the Children of the Scarlet King."
"For now, up surveillance, and track the ice dragon that appeared as well, we know that He has several forms, this may be one of them. I will put forth a motion to the 05 council to tentatively attempt diplomacy with 682, if it's willing to listen then we might reach an accord."
