A Dark Magician's Most Evil Trip 3 - or ‘Skeletor stomps on Modern Heroes/Villains’ (CartoonLogic!Skeletor goes to MHA)

Skeletor didn’t like this world for many reasons.

Beyond the fact that the heroes were flimsy things he could easily beat and humiliate, there was the fact that this humanity was indeed far too boring for him to give an actual poop about.

Ruling over ‘Earth’? It wouldn’t be the same as doing this in Eternia. Not without the feeling of having the power over reasonably strong entities. There was none of that and… he also missed his lair. And his minions.

Sure, he liked the current henchgirl he got, but Skeletor was not one that could ever feel happy with just so little. Eri had potential, but she was just a single individual- he needed the field to be expanded and he found the solution to this through some of his spy-crows he mustered to check for anything noteworthy in this silly country known as ‘Japan’.

This is where most of the strongest ‘heroes’ came from, so it was reasonable to say that the ‘best’ villains had to be here, somewhere. Still, that expectation was ‘dulled’ by the introduction he had to those through Eri’s pathetic father. Such an ineffective and cruel fool, and one that couldn’t even see the fact Skeletor was the strongest.

Welps, all of them, Nyeh!

Now, the main destination of his current ‘walk’ was quite the stir. A potential chase with the ‘police’ caused by a manhunt for… a young girl. Older than Eri, and yet with a rather peculiar ‘quirk’, or what those fools called powers.

Skeletor wasn’t exactly planning to just get an ‘all-girl’ team, but he couldn’t exactly say no to this one when the ordeal to claim a single new minion… had given him the opportunity to find out if the ‘Number One Symbol of Peace’ was all that he was praised to be.

After all, this ‘All Might’ had indeed gained Skeletor’s full attention and attention.

Blonde hair, muscular build, and even a tendency to be some chum with no class! There was no doubt- he had to be like his arch-nemesis, He-Man!

Without hesitation, he tracked down the juicy opportunity to finally make bank, and he was stunned to find the two elements behind his current visit in a rather peculiar circumstance.

All Might had been approaching the cornered school-girl, the blonde-haired yellow-eyed girl appearing surprised at the ‘dead-end’ situation within a maze of alleys in town, but then also as Skeletor manifested through the portal he had conjured right behind All Might.

“Nyeh-heh-heh! To think that the greatest hero would go around annoying people that aren’t worthy of his concern.”

“She is dangerous enough to warrant a quick capture, and… I suppose you’re the Skeleton Necromancer!” All Might turned, grinning at him.

Skeletor was deeply unimpressed.

First thing first-

“The name’s Skeletor, All Schmuck,” He replied dryly, then the Dark Lord found a bigger reason to let his ‘scowl’ increase within his skullish face. “And I thought you would have been more than just… you know, someone that relies on something that isn’t yours.”

As he said this, he noticed All Might tensing up and taking a stance for battle. Did he touch a nerve? Skeletor hoped he did as this big guy just wasted part of his time here already.

“Well, you are still going to prison, Skeletor!” The ‘Symbol of Peace’ bolted to intercept him, but his attempt was futile as Skeletor’s main upset was truly the weakness that made this battle one-sided.

All Might’s Quirks, those were easy for him to just disable for a time. Spreading out his magic and letting All Might bolt into it, Skeletor merely snapped his fingers and he saw the muscular hero suddenly ‘vanish’ as only a lanky man with sunken eyes and a drained disposition came barreling towards him.

Despite his irritation, Skeletor manifested a pillow as he sidestepped away from the expected impact, letting the cheap version of his archnemesis fall onto the cushioned spot.

“W-What- What did you-”

“I merely disabled your silly powers, Nyeh-heh~. I thought you would have been physically fit, but your body rely on two Quirks- I had enough time to learn how to ‘defuse’ those within the right conditions and… worry not, you will be back to feel like a ‘big man’ once you’re done groveling to me and I am through with the recruitment of my newest minion.”

Skeletor then turned to the girl and she tensed up as she had been listening to his words.

“M-Minion? Why? What did I- I have that you want?”

“A Quality power. Your peculiar connection with Blood-”

“S-So you want-” She smiled uncomfortably. “You want a monster like me?”

“...A Monster? You don’t have some extra powers to turn into a humongous feral beast, or I would have deemed you even more worthwhile,” The Dark Lord rebuked flatly. “So, what is it all about?”

“I-I kill people-”

“Yes, and?”

“And- And I drink their blood.”

“That’s disturbing, but I literally drink people’s souls, Nyeh~.”

“A-And then my parents…” The blonde went quiet, then her smile fell. “Y-you drink people’s s-soul?”

“Yeah? So? Child, I am a Lich. I am a Dark Lord, a Villain- you think I care what some foolish morons think of me? Monster? That’s such a filthy term to address something above that. You and I.”

“I-I am not a mo-monster?”

“Of course not… girl,” Skeletor huffed, scratching his chin. “What’s your name?”

“H-Himiko. Toga Himiko,” She replied nervously and the Dark Lord nodded.

“Himiko. You understand you will need a villainous name, yes?”

She nodded, “Y-Yes… Master.”

“Sir is fine too. I have a feeling you would give the word ‘Master’ a too awkward meaning- I have read some nasty things on how people react to that sort of terms.”

Himiko blushed a bit, clearly aware of what he was referring to. She was still a growing girl after all.

“I suppose you have accepted. I am not in the mood for another disappointment with what this ‘Symbol of Peace’ had to offer.”

She nodded and… then frowned as she saw the slim All Might still looking at them.

“Are you going to… you know, kill him?”

“Why should I? I beat him!” Skeletor rebuked strongly. “Killing is just removing what could be a fun way to ‘pass time’ for me. I require attention in terms of villainy and I know the rest is worse.”

Himiko nodded and then smiled. “T-Then I will be under your care… Skeletor-san.”

“Nyeh! Glad to hear that, and now, come closer, minion. It’s time to leave.” Skeletor remarked, manifesting a new portal and guiding the girl through it before disappearing into it too.

Reinforcement would find a tired-looking All Might as he confirmed he found their suspect murderer, but that he ran into trouble of the ‘Skeletor’ kind… yet, despite that loss, something about his ‘reaction’ to his defeat left many baffled.

He looked ‘happy’ he had been defeated… for that meant that a new ‘classic’ villain was in the block and he didn’t look the kind that would ally with All for One.

Rather, he could tell this was going to bring Villains back into a more ‘acceptable’ line of work.

Himiko gets recruited, while Toshinori is humbled (and also excited because he knows that an ‘Old Style’ Villain is about to make things difficult for the League of Villains).
