26Location: Asia, Japan, Musutafu
Date: April 4, 2350
Time: 12:20 PM
It'd been weeks since that whole ordeal in South America. Apparently the local government she had been hired to assist was overthrown by the rebel forces, although she was sure the Black Tusks may have been behind it. Many believed that the Rebel Victory had been caused by Rogue Pro-Heroes fighting against an unjust government, but no evidence suggests that Pro-Heroes were involved aside from isolated cases of a few rebel-sympathizing Pro-Heroes. But that's all in the past for she was now working in Japan.
Inko would finally accept the job from the Yaoyorozus to provide security. But it did bother Inko as to why the Yaoyorozus needed a Private Military Company to provide security instead of a Security Company. Regardless she didn't have to deal with any warzone.
Having returned to Japan, Inko would purchase an apartment. As well most of Baseline's Arsenal from its Guns, Vehicles and Aircraft were stored in a warehouse belonging to Baseline somewhere by a bay.
Meanwhile Izuku and Ikki were enrolled into the local elementary school, and already the boys were causing trouble. Her Quirkless boys got into a fight with a kid named Bakugou Katsuki, and well they had easily fought and won with little to no effort despite their lack of Quirks.
"He instigated the fight." Izuku stated.
"Yes, but why?" Inko asked
"Because he said we were Quirkless and that we should know our place. And he tried to use his quirk on us." Ikki stated.
"Although most kids didn't really care if we were Quirkless. So that's good." Izuku continued.
Even though that Bakugou kid was at fault, Inko dreaded the moment she would have to meet that Bakugou kid's mother. She had imagined an entitled bitchy lady claiming her son was an angel and that her sons were at fault. However, Inko would be wrong and boy she would begin to respect the woman.
"You damn brat! Apologize to those nice Midoriya boys right this instant!" Mitsuki said slapping her son on the head.
"Shut up ya damn Hag!"
Inko couldn't help but chuckle a little at the sight.
"Ms. Midoriya, I have to apologize for my boy, ever since he got his quirk, he has been acting rather hormonal." Mitsuki says sarcastically.
"Shut up Mom! I was showing these two worthless peons that I'm king of this school and that I'll be the greatest Pro-Hero in the World!" Katsuki would say only to receive another slap on the head.
"See." Mitsuki says to Inko in response to her son's outburst.
"Izuku, Ikki, Inko I apologize for my boy's behavior." Mitsuki says while starting to bow as well putting her son's heads into a bow.
"Mrs. Bakugou you don't have to apologize since we kicked his ass for you." Ikki states.
This causes Bakugou Matriarch to lose it and she begins to laugh. Inko follows suit joining Mitsuki in laughing at her son's statement. Although this aggravates Katsuki even more.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh my, this is priceless!" Mitsuki says crying in laughter.
"SHUT UP MOM! IT'S NOT FUNNY, I'LL KILL YOU TWO QUIRKLESS PEONS BECAUSE I AM NUMBER ONE!" Katsuki yells. This just causes Mitsuki to laugh even more damaging Katsuki's fragile ego.
"Hey why don't you three get to know each other. While the moms talk?" Mitsuki states.
"Wanna take this to the park?" Izuku asks.
"I'll beat your Quirkless asses this time because I always win! This fight was never over!" Katsuki declares.
"Okay then to the park." Ikki states.
"Oh Ikki, Izu here's some cash in case you want to buy some snacks later." Inko says as she gives them some money.
The boys leave the apartment and would go to the nearby playground for Round Two (Or rather a continuation for Round One as Katsuki claims). While the boys would continue their feud, meanwhile Mitsuki and Inko would both get acquainted with one other.
"So now that the boys are gone, what do you do for a living?" Mitsuki asks.
"In terms of current employment, I own a small Private Military Company called the Baseline Group. My Company mostly operates in war-torn regions situated in Africa, South America and the Middle East. Although we've recently been hired by the Yaoyorozu Corporation here to provide security, which it's the first time our company is operating outside of a warzone."
"Oh wow. Is that true?"
"Don't believe me? Well here's my company's business card." Inko says as she gives her Baseline business card to Mitsuki.
"Ah so you're a mercenary, there's something I don't usually hear about from other moms." Mitsuki answers.
"I also used to serve in the JGSDF as a part of the Airborne Unit and the Special Forces Unit. Here are photos I have for proof if you don't believe me." Inko says as she brings a photobook showing Inko on her military adventures.
Mitsuki looks in amazement at the photos seeing as the mother opposite of her was a soldier. A lot of the photos showed Inko dressed in tactical gear armed with an assault rifle alongside Baseline personnel in various warzones across the world. As well, along with photos of Inko in Baseline, there were also photos of Inko back when she served as a JGSDF Airborne Soldier and a Special Forces Unit Soldier.
Most mothers would fear Inko for her career, but Mitsuki took this rather well, heck Mitsuki was impressed at her new friend.
"Not to sound weird, buy you wanna see my battle scars?" Inko asked.
"Hell yes!" Mitsuki says surprising Inko.
Inko would roll up her sleeve on her left arm and on her wrist was a scar.
"Got this from shrapnel caused by a grenade in Afghanistan."
Inko pulls up her sleeve further where right by her shoulder there was a scar shaped like a bullet-hole.
"I got this after getting shot by a sniper in Brazil."
Inko notices Mitsuki looking at her with wonder in her eyes. Mitsuki had finally met the coolest most badass person ever. And for Inko, Mitsukiwas the first person not to fear her as well the first real friend she would have in awhile. For both women it would be the start of a new friendship.
Meanwhile with the boys, a considerable amount of time has passed, Katsuki would be on the ground beaten and bruised having lost for a second time to the Quirkless twins.
"Damn it! I'm supposed to be Number One!" Katsuki yelled.
"Well it's not the end of the world." Izuku tells the defeat Bakugou.
"Honestly be glad you lost now, take this as a learning tip on how you can learn to kick our asses in the future." Ikki encourages.
"Shut up! I don't need advice from a bunch of Quirkless peons!" Katsuki yells.
"Wanna go again?"
"Hell yes!" Katsuki rages.
And thus, the twins would beat Katsuki for a third time. The fight would however be a start an odd friendship between the twins and the arrogant blonde.
"Hey Katsu!" Izuku shouts.
"WHAT!" Katsuki yells annoyed.
"Think you can catch us?" Izuku says.
"Like hell I will!"
Both twins end up running away from Katsuki. This was the first time in a long time the boys ever had fun. Especially when they have spent most of their childhood training.
All three boys ran for almost two hours, the twins were able to keep up thanks to their training, but Katsuki since he lacked the athletics of the twins, he was able to keep up thanks to sheer will out of wanting to beat the twins.
After running for a long time, the twins were fine having trained to run long distances, although Katsuki having ran for two hours and lacking that strength ended up collapsing and almost vomiting.
Seeing as how they never fought but rather ended up chasing each other, Katsuki seeing as how the twins had no problem running for a long time and beating him realized that despite their lack of Quirk, they were strong.
"How are you two Quirkless Peons so strong?!" Katsuki says as he was seriously interested as to how two Quirkless kids easily beat him no problem.
"Because we lack Quirks our mom trained us to be strong so we could protect ourselves and fight against those with Quirks. Our mom has a very weak Quirk and she was a soldier in the army, so mom taught us how to fight." Izuku says.
Katsuki was always under the impression that the Quirks dominated the Quirkless, Katsuki had a strong Quirk, but seeing these twins easily beaten him as well as what Izuku had said, it had truly changed his outlook and worldview. Although despite changing his views on the Quirkless, his attitude could still see a lot more work.
"What are your names?" Katsuki proclaims.
"After two weeks of meeting us after we enroll you seriously don't know our names?" Izuku deadpans in disappointment.
"Shut up Broccoli Head! I don't have time for other peoples' dumb names! But because you've earned my respect, only I can say your names now!" Katsuki yells.
"Fine my name is Izuku." Izuku says.
"Am I'm Ikki." Ikki says.
"Izuku and Ikki nice to meet you. Now that I have said your names, don't expect me to say them again Broccoli twins!"
Back with the Moms, both mothers were enjoying their conversation where Inko had told Mitsuki of her war stories.
"You wanna know how my sons kicked your son's ass?" Inko asks.
"Go ahead."
"I did train my boys a variety of Martial Arts and Close Quarter Combat Techniques." Inko asks.
"Such as?"
"Krav-Maga, which is Hebrew for Contact-Combat, its Israeli Guerilla Street Fighting. It's what they train the Israeli Army for in Close Quarters Combat."
"Oh interesting. Hey mind if you teach me some moves so I can discipline my boy?" Mitsuki jokingly asks.
"I could." Inko says smugly.
"Say, since your boys did good at beating my son, perhaps they can help set Katsuki straight since well he could have someone better than him to teach him a lesson. Say you married?"
"I was, but my husband was killed." Mitsuki regretted asking that question.
"I'm so sorry." Mitsuki responded.
"It's fine. It was long ago before my boys were born. Really my boys are the only thing I have in the world."
"I can imagine." Mitsuki responds
"But ever since they were diagnosed Quirkless, I have been training them hard to defend themselves in this world of Quirks teaching them how to shoot guns, kill a man with knives or their bare hands and etcetera."
"You know, I already respect you, a single mother trying to juggle work and raising her kids, as well teaching her children how to protect themselves all while risking her life. I respect that." Mitsuki says.
Inko was honestly surprised. If she told people her occupation and etcetera, many people would be afraid of her or tell her to find another profession considering she has blood on her hands. Although in truth fighting alongside motherhood is only thing Inko really knows especially coming from a military family.
"To be fair, fighting and motherhood are the only things I really know." Inko says.
The door to the Midoriya's apartment opens.
"Mom were back!" Izuku announces.
"Did you get along?" Mitsuki asks.
"Yes." Katsuki says in a tone of defeat.
"Now what have we learned brat?" Mitsuki continues.
"That not all Quirkless people are worthless peons." Katsuki says admitting defeat.
"Well to be truthful, the only discrimination the Quirkless face are mainly in childhood. Adults don't judge the Quirkless for their lack of quirk but rather for who they are." Inko adds in.
"So even though my son's lives will get better as people will see them less for their quirklessness, I still trained my sons to defend themselves so they can grow up feeling confident." Inko continues.
"Now that you three have gotten along, what now for you three?" Mitsuki says happy that they settled their differences.
"Hey Broccoli twins wanna see my All Might Collection?" Katsuki asks his former rivals.
"Sure/Why Not?" Both twins respond.
"And by the way, our names are Izuku and Ikki." Izuku replies.
"Don't care about your dumb names. Now let's go to my house!"
The moms laughed at Katsuki's statement by as the kids left to go to the Bakugou's house.
"Looks like everything worked out in the end Mitsuki." Inko happily replies.
"Well I was worried that Katsuki's attitude will bite him in the ass."
"But people change. Your son will look back and realize the things he has done in the past. He's still a child so its not too late for him to change."
"You know, its going to be interesting how things are going to be now that your sons are here."
"Indeed, it will be. Speaking of that, what does Katsuki want to do when he grows up?"
"Believe it or not, a hero." Mitsuki deadpans.
"Not with that attitude." Inko jokingly states.
"How about your sons?"
"They never asked. Although they have been interested in joining the JSDF. And well even though Japan has never been in war since Nineteen-Forty-Five, I just hope they never become Private Military Contractors and see combat once they are discharged."
"I can understand that. You want them to live life at the fullest."
"Let's hope my boys never have to come to that lifestyle." Inko says.
"Hey wanna keep in contact?" Mitsuki asks
"Sure, here's my phone number."
Elsewhere
Location: Unknown
In a complex hidden located somewhere unknown, two individuals identified as Poseidon and Prometheus reach out to three dangerous individuals for a mission.
"I won't reveal my identity but call me Poseidon, I am a part of an international network called the Cartel. I won't reveal the extent of this organization I work for, but you will find out the longer you work for us."
"And like my associate Poseidon please call me Prometheus." Another voice states in a Russian accent.
"We have reached out to you because we have a mission for you to complete for us." Prometheus continues.
"Any questions?" Prometheus asks.
"Is this connection secure?" A voice on the other end asks.
"This connection line is secure. No one is listening to us. You can speak freely. Identify yourselves." Poseidon states.
"Piet Vermaak. Currently in charge of the Killmonger Battalion. Ex-South African Army Special Forces. Ex-Private Military Contractor for Watchgate Services. My Quirk: Bullseye, I can never miss my aim… Dead for two years my records state, although that's a lie I made up." A voice in an Afrikaans accent calls out.
"Bardon Schaeffer. Leader of the Black Tusk Strike Unit. Ex-US Army Special Forces and Ex-CIA. Quirk: Quirkless … Status: Dead for five years." Another voice in a North American accent states.
"Nikita Dragovich. The Pack Leader of the White Wolves Regiment. Former Officer of the Russian Army Rapid Response Force "Werewolves". Ex-Private Military Contractor for the Sergey-Volk Executive Response. Quirk: Thought Persuasion, I mean how do you think I go far? My Status: I never faked my death so records state still alive…." Another voice states in a thick Russian accent.
"You are exactly the people we need." Poseidon on the other line speaks.
"Schaeffer, you and your Black Tusk Strike Unit have failed at eliminating Inko and the Baseline Group, but your ruthlessness and efficiency in battle has nonetheless caught our attention, which is why we want to hire you again. Although Schaeffer's mission to wipe out Baseline failed, he was nonetheless successful in secretly aiding the rebels in overthrowing that local government back in South America." Prometheus continues for Poseidon.
"Now back on the subject." Prometheus says.
"What's the mission?" Schaeffer asks
"Ever heard of Gohar Sharif?" Poseidon on the other line asks.
"A shady Indian Businessman with suspicious ties to crime and corruption. As well Gohar owns a growing Pro-Hero Agency in India." Says Schaeffer.
"That is correct, we wish to make Gohar who is our dearest colleague climb the social ladder."
"And how do you suppose we do that?" Dragovich asks.
"We want to trigger another war in the disputed border region of Kashmir between India and Pakistan." Poseidon states.
"Doing that, Governor of Kashmir Nirupam Savarkar has to be removed violently to ensure Gohar's political ascension." Prometheus states
"Given our joint-effort along with the proper men and resources, we'll be able to deal with it." Piet replies.
"Although I am concerned of external interferences." Says Schaeffer cutting in on the conversation.
"Don't worry about the public, the events would look like skirmish between India and Pakistan devolving into a violent border war. And once Governor Savarkar is out the picture, Gohar and his Pro-Heroes will come in and save the day along with the rest of the Indian Army quelling the Pakistani incursion." Poseidon says.
"Piet, Bardon and Dragovich, you lead your own private mercenary armies – The Killmongers, the Black Tusks and the White Wolves. But we the Cartel are connected to various armed groups around the world from Militias to Mercenaries to Rogue Military Forces. We can use our connections to contact Rogue Elements of the Pakistani Army and Pakistani National Guard to aid in your efforts. The Rogue Elements of the Pakistani Military can provide both support for your men as well as a distraction for the media. Don't worry about costs or resources, we'll provide you the resources needed, as well we'll have it all covered on our end." Poseidon continues.
"Now, let's get this show on the road." Prometheus announces.
A Day Later
Location: South Asia, Indo-Pakistani Border near the Kashmir Region.
Date: April 5, 2350
Time: 12:05AM
In the dead of night, the mission would proceed as planned. No one would suspect the attack, the Indian Army would be on constant alert, although they won't be prepared with just how massive the scale of this attack would be.
Schaeffer and his Black Tusk Soldiers were by the border gates on the Indian side with the corpses of some Indian soldiers they had silently killed. The Black Tusks had completed their first part of the plan clearing the entrance gate for the Rogue Pakistani Army. Schaeffer having cleared the border gates would allow the Rogue Pakistani Troops to attack without having to face enemy fire.
"Vermaak, are you and the Killmonger Battalion ready?" Schaeffer asks.
"Yes, my Killmongers are ready for battle. We'll be airdropped as soon as the battle begins." Vermaak replies.
The Killmongers were all ready currently inside of a Mi-24 Hind Helicopter. About the Killmongers membership, every single one of the Mercenaries in the Killmonger Battalion was a hardened veteran having fought in the many war-torn regions of Africa.
"Dragovich? What's the status on your White Wolves?" Vermaak asks.
"We are ready as well." Dragovich replies where he and his White Wolves ready waiting to move on once the Rogue Pakistani Army Units begin their assault. The White Wolves due to the mercenary group's status as Ex-Russian Army Special Forces, they are all battle-hardened veterans prepared to face anything, thus this mission would be a simple task for them.
"Once the Pakistanis begin their assault, you will all go into the Mansion and kill the Governor while everyone else is occupied with the fighting." Prometheus states on everyone's comms.
"General Abbasi. You and your Forces may begin the assault." Poseidon orders the Rogue Pakistani Army General.
Then shortly after Poseidon's orders, a flare would shoot up at the sky, that was the signal.
And thus, the battle would begin, that meant that the mission is a go. Pakistani Soldiers along with Armoured Vehicles, Tanks and Aircraft would flood through the Indian border into Kashmir. What it would see is brutal fighting where Pakistani Forces would partake in vicious combat against the Indian Forces.
The Pakistani Army would provide the distraction needed for the Mercenaries. With the Pakistani and Indian armies all preoccupied with each other, the three Mercenary Groups were now clear to move in and kill the governor.
Just after five minutes of fighting, the entire region was ravaged and in ruins.
"We should move in before the Pakistani Forces are either repelled or the Indians send in reinforcements." Schaeffer says.
"Da." Dragovich replies.
A Little Later
Location: South Asia, India, Kashmir.
Date: April 5, 2350
Time: 12:35AM
The Mercenaries would converge to the mansion's location avoiding areas that were under intense fighting.
Most of the area where the Mercenaries were at were all clear. Wherever the Pakistani Forces were, the entire Indian Army in Kashmir would be there fighting them.
They were clear to move to the mansion. While the Pakistani Forces were distracting the Indian Army, the Mercenaries were deep in Indian territory. Most of the Indian Army would send their forces into the front to fight the Pakistani Forces up close, not even realizing the Mercenaries were deep behind their lines.
The Mercenaries would however encounter some Indian Soldiers holding their position, but the skilled mercenaries would effortlessly gun them down. For the most part they would run into some patrols, although it wasn't enough to cause the mercenaries trouble.
After moving through three street blocks, the Black Tusks and the White Wolves would reach the mansion. But there would be one problem, the mansion was heavily fortified where there were Indian Soldiers everywhere. Understandable considering the Savarkar's status as Kashmir's Governor.
The Killmongers were still in the Mi-24 Hind Attack Helicopter flying near the mansion, due to the chaos of the fighting, no one was paying attention to the Attack Helicopter all too focused either fleeing or fighting.
But the Indian Soldiers seeing the Mi-24 Attack Helicopter would fire at it with their Excalibur Assaults Rifles. The Mi-24 is called a flying tank for a reason and the 5.56 rounds fired from the Indian Soldiers' Excalibur Rifles would do nothing but leave a few very little dents on the Mi-24.
Piet wanting to return the favour orders the Killmonger's Mi-24 Pilot to unleash the Mi-24's firepower.
"Hertzog blast them all to hell."
The Mi-24 Attack Helicopter would unleash its heavy firepower at the mansion's fortifications. The Mi-24 would fire its UB-32 Missile Launcher systems and UPK-23-250 Auto Cannons unleashing a hell storm of S-5 Rockets and GSh-32L Bullets.
The Mi-24's armaments would easily tear apart and obliterate the Indian Soldiers at the mansion with its firepower.
The fortifications on the mansion would be cleared, thus the mercenaries would move in. Any Indian soldier that had survived the Attack Helicopters firepower would be finished off by the mercenaries.
Along with destroying the fortifications, the Mi-24 would hover by the mansion's roof where Killmonger Mercenaries would rappel down and enter through the mansion's roof.
The Black Tusks and the White Wolves would prepare to breach the mansion. But inside the Indian Soldiers would aim their Rifles at the door. The Governor meanwhile would cower in fear.
The Killmongers having already rappelled down to the mansion's roof via the Mi-24 would drop flashbangs down on the Governor's Soldiers from the ceiling windows.
Once the Flashbangs had detonated, the Black Tusks and White Wolves hearing the bang would breach through the doors and dispatch the disoriented Indian Soldiers alongside the Killmongers who also shot at the Indian Troops from the ceiling's windows.
After dispatching the Governor's Soldiers, the Killmongers would hold their position on the roof leaving the Black Tusks and the White Wolves to do the rest of the work.
The Black Tusks and the White Wolves would fight their way through the mansion cutting down the Governor's Soldiers effortlessly.
The Mercenaries would find the Governor cowering in his room.
"Please don't kill me! I'll pay you all the money you could possibly ever want." The Governor had pleaded.
But before the Governor could continue his pleading, Schaeffer would personally pump the Governor full of 45. ACP Rounds from his KRISS Vector Submachine Gun.
"Mission complete; the Governor is no longer a problem." Schaeffer says to his employers.
"Good, now all three of you pull out." Poseidon says to the Black Tusks, White Wolves and Killmongers.
After the Mercenaries were long gone having retreated to the Pakistani side of the border, Gohar and India's Pro-Heroes along with Indian Army reinforcements would come in and save the day.
"Now this is where Gohar steps in." Prometheus states.
"Gohar, you and your Pro-Heroes are a go!" Poseidon then orders.
"My pleasure" Gohar says on the comms.
And thus, India's Pro-Heroes under Gohar would save the day.
From there a bunch of people appearing like figures from Indian mythology would come in and unleash their Quirks on the Pakistani Soldiers.
There would be a variety of Pro-Heroes all with unique and powerful quirks.
An example of a Pro-Hero – The Elephas Man was a giant and rather extremely muscular man with a mutation quirk that made him have appearance of an Elephant. Elephas Man would charge at a Pakistani Al-Khalid MBT-2000 Tank ramming it causing it to violently tip over. As well bullets would bounce off Elephas Man due to his extremely strong and iron-like flesh, for his Quirk not only made him have elephant's appearance but made him extremely strong and durable.
Another example of an Indian Pro-Hero named The Lighter was dressed like the Fire God Agni. Said Pro-Hero would incinerate the Pakistani Soldiers unleashing a rather very powerful Fire Quirk on them.
However, something would not appear according to plan but would work in the Cartel's favour would happen. Pakistan's Pro-Heroes whom were also nearby seeing what was happening would intervene aiding the Pakistani Forces (Pakistan's Pro-Heroes not realizing this Unit of Pakistani Army Soldiers was Rogue) clashing with the Indian Pro-Heroes.
Thus, the Clash of Heroes would begin. Both Pakistan and India's Pro-Heroes along side Pakistan and India's Militaries clashing would receive more media attention causing the situation to become even more known.
At the end of the day,the Pakistani Forces along with Pakistan's Pro-Heroes would be repelled and the Indian Army would retake the area.
The aftermath of the incident would be major. The aftermath had caused a massive drop in Indo-Pakistani Relations where it was at an all time low never seen before. Pakistani Army General Abbasi whom lead the Pakistani Forces into Kashmir was found mysteriously dead with a bullet wound to the head. As well due to Pakistani Pro-Heroes partaking in illegal entry into Kashmir to aid the Pakistani Army Forces, it had reinforced Pakistan's role as an aggressor.
But to the Cartel their plan for Gohar ended in massive success. Gohar and his Pro-Heroes would become famous from the incident, as well Gohar's Pro-Heroes would receive even more fame for defending India against the Pakistani aggression that really was engineered by the Cartel. Gohar would end up becoming Kashmir's Governor for his role, as well would end up becoming influential entering politics after his role for ending said border clash, thus the Cartel would influence Indian politics.
Regarding the news of Black Tusk, White Wolves and Killmonger Mercenaries, no such report. Thus Schaeffer, Dragovich and Vermaak were all in the clear.
Indeed, to the public, this incident appeared like a border skirmish devolving into a war.
