Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

Melbourne, Australia.

A teenage girl named Stacy works part-time in McDonald’s.

It was summer break, and Stacy had nothing to do with her boring life, so she decided to work on a fast-food chain.

“At least I can buy something with my salary later.” She lazily yawned while mopping the floor.

Stacy was about to open the front door, but a handsome young man immediately caught her eyes.

A young man around 180cm in height with silver hair tied ponytail entered the mall. He possessed a striking pair of red eyes and an angel-like face.

“He should be in high school like me…” She muttered quietly. “I don’t think there is a handsome guy like him in my school?”

“With that kind of face, he should be famous, hmm…”

Stacy enrolled in a public school near her house, and she possessed a quirk called [Eagle Eyes], allowing her to see far away.

It’s quite a functional quirk, but nothing special compared to her classmates, who possessed the ability to transform into half-shark and control air.

Stacy possessed no striking features, her eyes bright brown, and her body somewhat skinny without any noticeable curves.

She silently observed the young man and daydreamed a little, but he suddenly moved his gaze to her.

“Eh.” Stacy gasped in surprise and fell onto the floor.

“D-Did he just move his gaze in my direction?”

“Maybe he has a detection quirk? How embarrassing…”

Knock!

A gentle knock on the glass door woke Stacy up, and the young man stood there with a smile on his handsome face.

“Hi, are you open?” Yunlong asked.

“N-No, I’m not done with cleaning… The manager also hasn’t come back yet.” Stacy answered with a stutter.

“Ah, what a shame.” Yunlong shook his head because he wanted to try a Big Mac before they moved from this city.

Nevertheless, he couldn’t do anything about it, so he decided to walk away in disappointment.

“Big Mac…”

“Big Mac…”

“Aih, no Big Mac for me today, I guess.”

“Wa… Wait! I could make one for you.” Stacy hastily opened the glass door.

Yunlong’s expression brightened when hearing this. He quickly turned around with a somewhat excited expression.

“Really?” He asked.

“Y-Yes, We have preheated the grill. I also prepared the ingredients half an hour ago.” Stacy blushed sheepishly.

“Wait for five, no 4 minutes!”

“I’ll be back with a big mac!”

Stacy ran away and disappeared into the kitchen.

Yunlong couldn’t help but find this amusing for some reason.

“I should have covered my face, but being handsome is also an advantage.” He glanced at the glass door, which reflected his face.

“Nah, It would be annoying if I were in a public crowd.” He wore a mask to cover his mouth. “This mall opened a few minutes ago, so not many people came here yet.”

Stacy moved like lightning and prepared every ingredient for a big mac. She drew a heart with ketchup and placed the patty perfectly.

“Perfect.” She muttered.

BOOM!

As she was about to wrap the big mac, a tremor suddenly swept over the mall. An explosion occurred in the middle of the mall.

A burly man in a military tank top held a fire starter in his hand and declared, “If I can’t be happy, then no one can!”

“I’ll kill everyone here!”

Bibi Dong, who walked from a clothing store, with her new purple blouse and cream long skirt, looked at the burly man curiously.

“So, that’s a quirk, huh.” She commented behind her veil.

Stacy walked out in a hurry and asked, “What happened?!”

“A villain.” Yunlong casually answered while shrugging his shoulders.

“A villain, I see…”

“Wait, why are you so calm!”

“Why should I?” Yunlong playfully responded.

“IT’S A VILLAIN!” Stacy loudly returned with a speechless look on her face.

They are on the third floor of the mall. The proclaimed villain immediately moved his gaze to them because of Stacy’s shout.

“DIE!!!” The villain used his fire starter and launched a fireball at them.

SWOOSH!

Yunlong yawned and flicked the air with his finger.

BAM!

A small shockwave destroyed the fireball and struck the villain violently, sending him into a coma.

Stacy, who witnessed this, quickly covered her mouth in disbelief.

She also accidentally dropped a paper bag that contained a big mac in it.

“Thanks, but I don’t have money, so let’s say that I’m repaying you by saving you from that guy.” Yunlong picked up the almost falling paper bag.

“Goodbye.” He jumped out of the third floor and disappeared into thin air.

Stacy looked at the thin air and realized they were on the third floor, but the unknown handsome guy jumped like it was nothing.

She grabbed the rail and looked around with her [Eagle Eyes], finding the handsome guy walking with a woman in a purple blouse.

She blinked in surprise, and they disappeared in the corner. Someone was already called a hero, and people in costume walked into the mall in a hurry.

“Don’t worry. Heroes are here.”

“Someone defeated the villain already!” A random man shouted. “You guys are late.”

“Villain- Eh…” Heroes become mute after hearing the random shout.

Stacy glanced at the people, who were supposed to be heroes, and remembered Yunlong’s action. “He’s more heroic than these guys…”

“He also doesn’t need recognition…”

“My Hero…” Stacy blushed deeply, making her look like a tomato. “Can I meet him again?”

Unknown to Stacy, the hero who claimed her heart would appear on television soon because he killed All For One on the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Yunlong ate his big mac on the street while walking with Bibi Dong.

Yunlong frowned and commented, “It’s not as good as I remember, but okay, I guess.”

“What’s that?” Bibi Dong asked, to which Yunlong responded by showing her the burger.

“A food from this world,” Yunlong naturally answered. “Have a bite.”

Bibi Dong lifted her veil slightly and ate the big mac quietly. A combination of flavors that she had never tasted before, exploding in her mouth.

“Hmm… Not bad? It’s too greasy.” Bibi Dong wiped her lips with a napkin. “6/10.”

“I can make a better one than this.” She added with a sneer.

“Sure.” Yunlong nodded because he could feel pride in Bibi Dong’s statement.

“Well, since we changed our clothes, let’s try to find information about people we wanted to recruit.” He continued to eat his big mac.

“I see, but it would be hard for us to find them, no?” Bibi Dong questioned because they didn’t fully know about this world.

“Actually…” Yunlong finished his big mac and burned the packaging with solar flame. “It’s not that hard, considering one of them lived on an artificial island.”

“Artificial island?” Bibi Dong tilted her head.

“I-Island,” Yunlong answered.

In the quiet part of Melbourne, a place mainly filled with the villain.

A shady-looking man walked into a dark alleyway and entered a wall with his quirk. He arrived at a big gathering room with two people in it.

“He attacked a mall… What a fucking bummer.” He spat while sitting on the chair.

A woman in red, [Jaw-Breaker], frowned and replied, “I heard there is someone who knocked [Burner] with an invisible attack.”

“Is there a new hero in Melbourne?”

“No.” A scrawny-looking man, [Nerve], answered. “That can’t be… I never heard such a thing from my spy.”

“Goliath, I heard from Japan’s side that they gathered people to attack UA’s training camp.” The woman in red suddenly said.

“Bunch of mad guys.” The shady man commented.

They operated from the shadows because they didn’t want to attract attention and live calmly, but the villain from Japan’s side was crazy.

“Hmm?” Nerve’s face abruptly became solemn. “Our front gate is destroyed.”

A hologram screen appeared on the table and showed a silver-haired young man, who wore a mask, and a veiled woman.

“[Mower] should have guarded this front gate.” Jaw-Breaker looked at the young man, who choked a familiar-looking man.

“Mower!”

At the front gate, Yunlong released a villain’s neck named [Mower] and walked through this quiet district.

[I detected a drone a few meters away, Host]

“Detect the controller.” Yunlong commended.

[Scanning…]

[…]

[A hundred meters away, in a small alleyway]

“Follow me.” Yunlong disappeared, to which Bibi Dong responded with a nod.

“They disappeared!” Nerve couldn’t believe his eyes for a second, but an explosion occurred in their meeting room.

Boom!

Yunlong walked in and smirked at them, “Oh, hi there.”

“I have a couple of questions.”

A few minutes later, three main villains in Melbourne were bowing on the floor with terrified expressions.

“P-Please, free us from this illusion…” Jaw-Breaker sobbed with tears running from her eyes.

The other two could only look on the ground with lifeless eyes. They were swallowed by illusion and starved for a few weeks, which shouldn’t be possible, but they could definitely feel it.

‘It’s still flowing like the original, huh.’ Yunlong thought after gaining information from these villains.

MHA’s world timeline hasn’t changed that much compared to the original.

Yunlong remembered something and asked, “Have you ever heard about Ryuu Shuzenji?”

Jaw Breaker’s eyes widened because she had heard that name before. “Isn’t he the kid who got tortured and killed in the Saitama Japan accident?” She mumbled in fear.

“All Might couldn’t save him on time, the number one hero’s greatest failure.”

Yunlong made them faint and walked out of the destroyed building with a weird expression.

He closed his eyes and sighed, “Grandma Chiyo…”

“Yunlong?” Bibi Dong patted his head gently. “Are you gonna visit your relatives in this world?”

“She’s not my relative anymore, but there is nothing wrong with settling past life’s problems,” Yunlong quietly replied.

“Ryuu within me also wants to meet her.”

He looked at his glowing hand because White Light Grace was excited.

“We also could meet some potential recruits there.” He stated.

Bibi Dong chuckled and playfully commented, “Don’t conceal your feelings. It’s okay, I understand.”

“We are clones.” Yunlong wryly smiled.

“Then, the original will feel the same too.” Bibi Dong hugged Yunlong.

“Let’s go to Japan first.” Yunlong raised his gaze to the sky.

— Japan —

U.A. High School, Musutafu.

All teachers and staff gathered in a conference room and held a sudden meeting. Their student abruptly was attacked by the league of villains at the training camp.

Bakugou Katsuki got kidnapped by a villain, which was probably their objective from the start.

They didn’t expect the league of villains would be this brave.

An adorable animal, who wore a suit, observed the conference room.

“There should be a spy among us,” Nezu said solemnly.

“First is USJ, but now it is far away if it’s just the other side’s calculation.”

Everyone immediately looked at each other warily.

All Might frowned and responded, “That’s true, but since we have known each other for quite a while, that shouldn’t be possible.”

Shota Aizawa, Eraser Head, suddenly opened the door and walked in with a grim expression.

“I found a clue.” He stated. “A student from A-Class put a tracker on one of the kidnappers.”

“Is that true, Aizawa!” All Might stood up with an enthusiastic tone.

Eraser Head nodded and moved his gaze to Nezu, who had already planned something in his head.

“We should make a quick movement,” Nezu muttered while thinking about something. “I’ll contact some heroes that could help us.”

“All Might calm yourself down.” He continued because All Might could be seen ready to advance onto enemy territory. “We don’t want that accident to happen.”

The Recovery Girl gripped her hand slightly because losing her only grandson still ached her heart.

All Might’s expression becomes grim because of a frail boy, who died in his arms, still fresh in his mind.

“All For One… As you all know, he ran away from the prison and hid for quite a while.” Nezu explained.

All for One’s name isn’t an unfamiliar villain’s name because after an incident years ago.

“We don’t know his true motive behind this kidnapping action, but it probably wasn’t for Bakugo’s quirk.”

“However, we must save him at all costs.”

Nezu sighed and asked, “Aizawa, you should have handled the tracker, right?”

“We found the location already. It’s in Kamino, Yokohama.” Aizawa answered.

When Yaoyorozu gave him the tracker, he instantly contacted the searching squad. He also held a press conference to calm the public with his apology statement.

“Then, let’s start with a plan to save Bakugou.” Nezu raised his hand.

— Kamino, Yokohama —

A half an hour later.

In a bar-like room, Bakugou Katsuki is bound on a chair with several chains on his body.

“Why can’t you agree with us?!”

“Being VILLAIN is better than wannabe heroes.”

“Tch, you were brainwashed by those attention fanatics.”

“Fuck you! I don’t want to hear that from wannabe emo kids!!” Bakugou returned with an annoyed tone.

He gritted his teeth because he couldn’t see a blind spot to run away from this place. He literally was surrounded by a lot of people.

A led screen on the wall lit up, and a man with an ominous look entered Bakugou’s view.

“All For One, so it was you. A crazy bastard, who kidnapped me, huh.” Bakugou sneered, which made Tomura Shigaraki irritated.

“Sensei, can I kill him? He clearly doesn’t want to be a villain and annoys me.” Tomura stated, leaving All for One chuckling for a few seconds.

“Well, I expected that already.” All For One said while drinking a glass of wine. “I wonder what would happen if I killed All Might in front of him.”

Bakugou’s eyes widened, but he countered instantly, “You are weak compared to All Might. You almost died the last time you fought him, you loser.”

“It seems that you need a slap to wake you up.” All for One laughed sinisterly.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

A few knocks rang suddenly and echoed in the room.

“Hello, this Pizza-La, Camino store branch.”

“I delivered you the 69 boxes of pizza?”

“Huh?”

BOOM!

The wall abruptly was destroyed, and All Might entered the room.

Kamui Wood restrained every villain with his quirk, and Gran Torino attacked some villains, making them faint in shock.

“You can’t run anymore, League of Villains!”

“Do you know why?”

“Because We are here!”
