CHAPTER START---

---Friday, 27th January 2315, Undisclosed Location...

In a room of smooth and cold metal, eerily silent even as a dozen holograms play.Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

Each of them display one of the massive drones currently attacking cities across the planet, there sits one man.

Tech.

A decrepit older gentleman who appears to be one step from death, atleast judging by his body.

He was frail, so much so that his bones were almost ripping through his own skin, sitting in only a pair of long pants on a large metal throne he has dozens of thick cables jacked directly into his body.

And one particular cable plugged into the back of his skull.

His eyes are glazed over, but occasionally, they flicker blue as he shifts the focus of his Quirk.

His pale skin nearly matching the few strands of grey hair on his head, and the sneer that forms on his lips is the only true sign of life he's shown in the past few days.

"Too...many...heroes..." his throat struggles to speak after all this time in silence.

His eyes shine with blue light as he focuses on one of his screens, seeing one of his massive spider-like robots attacking The Pentagon.

Closing his eyes he directly taps into the cameras around the battle, getting an up close view via his technopathy.

Even 7000km -3449mi- away, the connection was instant, his dominance over technology was absolute...almost absolute.

---The Pentagon...

Only minutes after his massive spider-like robot began lumbering toward the pentagon, Star and Stripe had already taken off from New York to fly over.

Compared to her it was gargantuan, 75m -246ft- tall and 50m -150ft- wide, its 8 legs keeping it stables and guns and rockets are fired at anything that moves.

But the pro heroes and military responded immediately, launching their counterattack.

In the precious minutes it took for Star and Stripe to fly into the battle, many lives were lost and hundreds of millions of dollars in destruction had been done.

Looking down from above she narrowed her eyes, thinking of how to best approach this situation.

The most overlooked downside of her Quirk: New Order, by the very few people who know about it that is, is that it can theoretically do anything.

Which means making the wrong decision is extremely easy.

This forces her to considers the outcome of all actions before taking them.

She could create a giant version of herself from the atmosphere and crush the robot, but that could set off any explosives in it.

If she tries to move it the same thing could happen, showering the city in dangerous projectiles.

He growls in annoyance, "Nezu," he mutters.

Ever since Wolfram's blunder Nezu he's been able to just barely keep even his technopath empowered technology out of his private network.

But while that means Horizon would sometimes be in a blind spot, only a few such blind spots exist in the world.

"He's nearby in Horizon Tower but isn't rushing over to help, he must be busy with something else," Tech realizes as he cuts off all the camera feeds.

"But the results are clear even without his involvement. Building an army capable of defeating all the heroes and forcing humanity to submit is impossible, so I'll use the olden ways."

As Tech says that his eyes glow bright blue, and they don't stop.

As if his body was frozen in place with his glowing eyes wide open, all the screen in front of his switch to different sets of numbers and letters constantly being changed and scrambled millions of times each second.

Containing many different languages, with many different alphabets.

Because in the age of Quirks and heroes, humanity has certainly not forgotten what made the first superpowers of the world some 4 centuries ago.

And ever since then, countries have only improved the efficiency of their nuclear arsenals.

'With this, even those mystery class freaks won't be as powerful as me, because unlike them, I can be everywhere at once' Tech thinks as the information bombards his mind. 'I'll finally be at the top, as I was born to be. A god, because what else could a technopath be in this modern world? With this, I'll be stronger than anyone, and everyone.'

As he begins the process of deciphering the launch codes for the worlds' arsenal of nuclear weapons, Tech resigns himself for this long and taxing process.

'I've waited this long to have the world in my hands, what's a few more months,' he think while shutting off his focus from the rest of the world, focusing only on the task at hand.

---Horizon Tower...

In the absolute darkness of Horizon's bedroom, two people are sleeping peacefully.

Ryuko has her arm and a leg draped across Horizon's naked body, softly purring in her sleep.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Both their eyes shoot open, trained to always respond to the sound of the Hero Network Emergency Alert.

They both immediately sat up, then Ryuko took a moment to remember that she's not a hero anymore and lays back down, diving back under the blanket.

"Mmm," she groans as Horizon checks his phone.

A moment later she hears Horizon speaking, "Juzo, Yokohama, giant robot, take the team."

Then she feels him lay beside her once more. "You aren't going to deal with it yourself?"

"I had a long and annoying night tracking some Nomu, they can handle this without me."

Ryuko giggles softly, "you can just admit you want to spend more time with me, I won't judge...much."

Horizon groans, "believe what you want woman," he says while pulling her close and wrapping his arms around her once more...
