I'm not into MHA, but this was fun.
I know little about MHA, but this was still a delightful bout of madness and brilliant superpower choreography. “Hold onto your asses, ass-holders” may be the funniest sentence I'll read all week. I know it wasn't intended as such, but this was still a lovely birthday present. Thank you for it.
...
Wait, there's more? Even better!
MHA goofiness plus best tacofish? In one story? Be still my fluttering weeb-heart. Yes, I have a weeb-heart. I keep it in a jar. Got it from a nice chap really cheap.
I don't think I've ever seen Mineta cast in such a perfect, true to the source material, light. Bravo! More sushi and all that!
So we're starting this in medias res, are we? Well, I happen to know that there's only one canon way to "borrow" Quirks and it involves courting favor from the series' main villain.
I can get behind siren repo team
That pic is full of Misery x CPR x Resse's Puffs energy lol
This did not go how I expected it to go, but I'm loving it.
Adagio with short hair? I can't imagine it.
I love that fakeout with All-For-One actually being Mineta.

It feels a little out of place. The rest of the story is pretty clearly meant to be a manga from the way onomatopoeia is used, but then you have a gag that only works because it's not a manga.
Oh, that's a very intriguing start. It progressively reveal us with where the Sirens actually are, tease us about the plot, and the premise of being Villains in MHA is actually an interesting idea. A great hook of a first chapter.
We have two of the three Sirens quirks because I don't believe that the monkey paw jewelry is Adagio quirk so we still have that mystery. The pendants are probably from their mysterious benefactor/employers.
Their stylish and American stylized crimes spree is certainly an hard act to follow for the Japanese police.
Ok, last chapter I didn't catch each Sirens had two quirks each, which add to the mystery.
Sonata got the power to burp gas that she can mold into shapes and eventually transform into life-like puppets that she controls. It need to be fuelled by eating a disturbing amount of food and the puppets existence seem to be limited by either or both a timer and distance to herself.
For her second quirk, she can create portal but she need both a door and to rub the circumference of the portal for it to work. Her chanting sushi-sushi-sushi-suchi while doing it might not be actually necessary because this is Sonata doing it and who knows with the crazy one.
For Adagio we only know one of her quirk so far, she got the power to call an order and people have gmto obey if they hear it. It can be disturbed if people's don't hear it correctly if they talk over her. Her needing a name or the other limits/requirements to the orders she can give are unclear so far. She however loose her voice completely when she use the quirk and we don't know for how long she loose it or an order work.
Same for Aria, she only have shown the one power. It seem to be able to feed kinetic energy into objects to manipulate thems. She seems to favor things with engines because they already provide motions and energy through said engines and plenty of movable parts like doors and panels, hinges probably helping to move things more easily. We haven't seen her use it on her weapons or inarticulated objects so far or those stuck in some places. As a weakness/requirements, I think she need to be touching something to affect it, she cannot do it remotely. I see potential for uses with construction machinery, planes, skateboards, boats, maybe powered armor suits or something like Misaka Mikoto A-A-A suits from A Certain Scientific Railgun.
... I like your choice. They are original and not the ordinary super strength/flight/Lazer beam people seem to automatically think when "super powers" are mentioned, they have weaknesses and requirements for balance, they require both skills and cunning to effectively use and they make the actions and story fun. There seem to be a story o how they got those and the randomness as well has the weaknesses making it seem like they didn't exactly got a choice as to what their quirks would be. Or at least that whoever gave them those can't make perfect quirks.
I wonder if the Sirens know the risks of having multiples quirks?
Do they still have their pastel colored skin from the show? They wouldn't stand out from the crowd with those.
I liked that you gave the Sirens years of experience with martial arts, weapons on top of the skills and nerves to pull the robbery and subsequent events. Am I right to suppose this version if the Sirens have lived for at least a thousand years before they were banished to the Equestria Girls universe? And the sisters seems to be older here because while they had a disguise, the policemen seemed to think they were adults so they can't be teenagers sized (however I'm MHA, size is subjective due to quirks mutating a lot of the population over the centuries).
Ok... so with Death Arms retired, the mention on Nomus and Villains running around by the police captain in the first chapter, I am deducting this is post canon?
And would Death Arms would actually help? Or could? He quit during Japan greatest crisis in shame because he couldn't take the pressure. Shouldn't his license been voided since then?
And since it's seem to be post canon, it couldn't be All for One, Tomura or Doctor Garaki who gave them their Quirks....
Okay! That was a great fight and a great hook for this story. I am following this for sure.
Second quirk for Adagio, she can shoot beam of energy but she burn her hair as fuel. Man she must hate that. But how long does it take for her hair to grow back? Having someone that can make other people hair grow would be good to have in support. And her first quirk that make her loose her voice? That must be something she hate as well.
I am beginning to suspect Aria quirk can jump-start vehicles with her energy or it's her second quirk that do this. That would explain how she managed to start and steal two mopped so fast and easily in the Shibuya fight.
And why did she need to rip her costume? Does her quirk make her run hot and she need to cool off?
At some point, you need to do a Present Mic exposition of their quirks! It wouldn't be MHA without it.
Sarumaru quirk giving abilities seems more and more tied to magic. The fact that there seems to be contracts involved, that there are always two quirks but each quirks have requirements or payments to use... but at what point something is magic and something is a quirk? The line is kinda blurry.
It seems the Sirens are acting as Sarumaru bounty hunters. Whether their target failed to uphold a contract or this is the result of the contract ending need to be shown.
Ah, this can't be a MHA crossovers without calling special moves.
That was Mineta!?
So 1-A is still in school but Death Arm is retired, so that would mean, later in the second year or their third years.
I can't wait to see more of this story, it seems great. Where did the Siren get all their equipment? Why are they in this universe? What is their contract? Is it to regain their previously lost magic? Etc.
My only suggestion to improve this story would be to add some more description with the various mutation when describing people in crowds.
Eeeeh, I find that dubious. With the right team and the right preparation, they could counter them. And let's not talk how monster of strength like end game Izuku would stomp them... oh wait, his name is known to the public, so it's a risk Adagio could control him.
The Siren are difficult opponents, yes. Equipped, trained and complex abilities to counter. But unable to match the strenght of their quirks? A prepared team could do it. I think this is why there was a fire taking the heroes attention in the first chapter, the Sirens didn't want to fight them so they made a distraction.
But this about how that guy is perceiving them and not us readers isn't it? He didn't see Shinji kicking their asses and almost winning so he isn't privy to their weaknesses.

It's worth repeating that in-universe characters are not infallible.
11397603
Oh absolutely true. But Mineta putting them on a pedestal is bound to create a funny situation if he eventually meet them.
New idea: the Sirens leaves an hair or a drop of blood at the site of one of their crimes and the police uses their ressources and various heroes to investigate.
Wouldn't it be funny if a hero with a scanning or divination quirk revealed that they are actually over a thousand years old?
That would throw the police for a loop.
Or a DNA test that reveals traces of various marine life hinting at maybe a fish mutation or someone in their family line having a fish Quirk.
So Sonata's Quirk... is to burp out anime/video game characters... and from the tells, she has to eat an ungodly amount of junk food to do it.
Yay! Thank you for the update!
Humm. Is Kondo really in trouble? The heroes were indeed busy with the massive fire, he did everything by the book to stop that robbery and even if he requested hero support, they wouldn't have gotten there on time. Even if he listened to Tsukaushi advice, it was too late and three powerful, double quirk users was not something they should have expected. It was indeed, very bad luck.
Fish tits... if only he knew.
Still a bit strange how he named both cases of that day. Does he know more than he let on?
Of course, the public, the media and the higher ups in the police will want someone to blame and take the fall. Inner politics of the police might be against Kondo this time. If he does have a clean record and made it to Captain through his hard work and merit, Tsuragamae might not have a case against him.
And if Kondo does get fired, well, that could create a wild card that would go after the Sirens.
Kondo seem to be a very strait laced individual who is dedicated to his job and follows the rules but he seems to have a bit of a gambling vice in the background. Or was it something he is simply indulging in because of the day shit show and he is in denial about loosing his job? His mind set however, there is something about it that doesn't feel right. He reminds me a little about early Iida Tenya but less adapted socially or something. Since it's his mother who called him I am guessing he isn't married? Surely if he was, his spouse would have called before.
By the way, do you have a Quirk for Kondo? Is that how his mother didn't hear the ambient sound of the pachinko parlor? Those place are loud normally.
It's nice that you have given us a look at the aftermath of this first act. Am I guessing right that we have some more in the same veins comming?
You have my attention
... You're telling me they're working for a Bored Ape NFT.
Fascinating stuff thus far. There's probably a good amount going over my head, but I'm greatly enjoying what I do understand, including the fantastic sibling dynamics between the sirens. (It doesn't matter if they're biologically related or not. When the only constants over centuries of wandering the world and causing havoc are those two other idiots, you're family.) Looking forward to more, especially the specifics of Aria's Number Two.
Ah, Sonata is a lady of culture. (She may even have been or met the inspiration in Equestria or its adjacent human world).
Capital letter, Skirts. That's a guy's name you're using.
Same energy as the Daleks' "this is pest control" line.
Sarumaru knows more than he lets on, and the Dazzlings know that he knows. Slipping this bit into an exhortation to be more subtle... *chef's kiss* Don't let anyone tell you you're a shitposter, Skirts. You know what you're doing.
Last I heard, it was one percent of the entire world. Ol' Temujin got lots.
If you have to explain the joke, there is no joke! I already got it without it needing to be explained and I've never touched that game.
On the other hand, Sonata is exactly the sort of idiot who would ignore that advice, and it was meant to show how giggly-drunk she was rather than actually being funny.
Exactly where it is with you, you fool. You're the most expendable person involved in this, and will be expended appropriately.

This is how you create Villains. One Bad Day.
I kinda wanna see our fav Sirens accidentally wind up as heros lol
great
Ok, I got a flash of inspiration for this story... a disturbing one but it kind of fit.
I kind of pictured the Siren finding Gang Orca or Selkie because of their aquatic life quirks.
They would flirt with them and the guys wouldn't believe it because whiles they are popular heroes, their heteromorphic mutation would deter most women's. And when Tsukaushi tell them they were telling the truth, they're floored.
Of course, it's the Sirens we are talking about, them flirting would probably come with their own brand of craziness and send all the warning flags.
Aria assault boarding Selkie ship: "Heeeeello there sailor. Come to these water often?"
And while they would rate Gang Orca and Selkie as solid 9 and 8, there would poor Sharkyonnara who get stuck with being a 3 in their eyes for some reasons.
Holly shit, I somehow missed three chapters and only saw the last update with the Captain! Time to get up to date!
The abandoned island for a meeting spot is a great idea. Good luck for the heroes to find it. That Stain had hidden there for a time is a nice world building touch. That Sarumaru RESPECT Stain is an even more interesting information.
What are Aria quirk drawbacks and limitations? I hope we get to discover them eventually. What can she do to train it?
I like the distinction between Sarumaru and All for One. He can give multiple quirks without breaking people or without having to turn them into Nomus to brake the body limits. Or maybe he only goes for the rarer individuals who can bare multiple quirks like Nine or Shiragaki. Did the Master created those quirks from scratch or took parts from others to craft one that fit the users without causing the problems All for One cause? I guess we wouldn't know unless some scientists take a look at a someone who was subjected to Sarumaru peculiar care.
The fact that those quirks need to be mastered is a nice touch but it's the drawbacks, who seem more severe and specific than natural ones that sells it to me. Built in limiters so they aren't too strong? Something to force them to learn discipline and management of their new abilities. There is a mystery behind those and why they were put there and I am all for it!
I really love the Sarumaru design. All elegance, poise and mysterious but the way he his holding himself, causing both fear and respect in others while the floating hands are quite the body horror show. Just how many Quirks does this man have?
His henchmen have an interesting design, very animalistic but at the same time, they remind me of other characters I saw in other franchises. Do you have pictures for your inspiration?
Are they all from other dimensions? Because having an Entity/Mastermind giving quirks to those from other dimensions to use as agents in the MHA world, is really a great hook. Can't wait to see how the Sirens entered contact with them or why they accepted to serve this guy.
The portal they used was cool. The light tentacles feels like the opposite of All for One black tendrils.
Kazan condition to use his quirks reminds me of a DC character called Flex Mentallo.
She need to stroke the door to make it disappear?
Not bad for "reloading the cannon" so to speak. After a day or two it's ready to go even more. Questions:
- does the hair eventually stop or she can end up with a Rapunzel situation where the magic hair is way to long? I imagine there are hair styles she can do for making the extra long hair manageable for missions. I mean, if she grow them longer than her original MLP design I mean.
- does the hairs have other special properties? Weak to something or reactive to something normal hair aren't specially reactive too?
- does something happen when you cut those hair? Because it could be another way to train it besides firing the laser.
- could she use the cut hair as substitute batteries? Like transforming it in a wig or extension to later connect with the rest of her hair?
- what happens if she shot the laser at a bunch of her cut hair?
- the fact that that the time it take to regrow is improving meas that whatever the Sirens got are actual quirks? It means the more you train it, the more in improves and the more you have the chance to discover some new aspects of the quirk you can use or train.
But to properly train a quirk, you need time, location to do it, sometimes specific training equipment and maybe training partners.
As for training... can she spit the beam to shoot from both hands? Could she, instead of one large beam, shoot repetitive smaller blast?
I mean, Adagio isn't a bad leader so far.
And I am curious about how they got to the MHA world.
And there is a typo at the end. You wrote "fooed instead of food.
So even Sarumaru work for someone else huh? Since he got a lot of power himself, have henchmen and expect respect from people, just what kind of being someone like that serves?
Is "heart" the right word here? I think you meant to use "heat" here.
That Sarumaru target people's with unsavory past but are in trouble now so they are desperate enough to accept such a suspicious and dangerous deal makes him even more interesting. I don't know if he is more of a criminal mastermind or he doe buy into the quasi-religious thing he is spouting and it's not one big elaborate con. Does he offer redemption or more damnation to those with "unsavory" past? At least when he selected the Sirens he chose people's with a certain level of skills so I wonder if it's one of his criteria.
The organization they built seem extensive and quite the threat to the MHA world. However the rhetoric about Heroes being the problem in this society and raising "good" to such high standards and holding it are some of issues the MHA world is indeed facing. Society is turning against itself and creating a bottom that will reach up to eat the rest in desperation.
Chef kiss on the Sirens motivation to accept such a deal. And it's sooo like them to try a take over of their boss operations. Never content with what they have. At least they seem to be living better than how they were doing back home. I hope we see a bit of their day to day activities as well. Do they have part time jobs as well to pay for stuff? Or are they making money from being gamers and YouTube celebrities?
But how does the organization would think of them stealing those jewels? They were quite displeased with Shinji Kazan working with criminals has an arson. They seemed to be an opposing criminal organization that can interfere with their plans, which is surprising since an inter-dimensional revolutionary operation would have trouble from a regular crime ring.
Seem I spoke too soon about the island they choose for a meeting place, it's quite inhabited and it might bite the Sirens in the butt later on if someone leaks information.
A bit of a meta question: if the Siren brought an Equestrian artifacts to the MHA world, would it work?
Someone else from the MLP universe is in MHA now as well? Interesting.
Okay... I wonder if Pricess Twilight set-up back in her castle can detect someone else messing with the portal? That could have interesting implications or could lead to Pony or Rainboom interference but I kind of don't want that at all.
The Sirens only doing retrieval of contractors jobs, what up with that? Wouldn't an organization like the one that employ them would have use for them. They are specialized but they are falling in a patern that people could track them with.
Using that quirk on that bartender was kind of dangerous if he reports them? Well, in the depth of Shinjuku back alley, who would report such a small thing?
Gotta love the Sirens speaking about their life or more like their past sex life. Man were they responsible for so much trouble and have seen so many things. It's nice that they look after each others like this. Even if they live a life of crime and debauchery... you are either disgusted by them or you envy them. I wouldn't mind more chapters like this when they are in their everyday life.
And they for enough funds to live a hundred year in Japan already? They didn't really need the jewels isn't it? It was only a nice bonus to them.
Sonm they just were never informed that certain people's can hold multiple quirks without being a Nomu or Midoriya Izuku and All Might secret was never revealed?
Edit: OK, so I completely misread where we were in the timeline. We are still in the early MHA canon right? The War hasn't happened yet. But since Death Arm retired, wouldn't it mean the country should be in chaos after the post war disaster? Stain was referred in the past tense so this is pass his capture, Nighteye is dead so this is pass Shie Hassaikai arc... I got no idea when we are supposed to be.
Would the League of Villains still exist even after the events of the manga? Even after that huge battle. The graffiti symbols on the island were faded right? Did I get the timeline of this story wrong? Tsukauchi is still investigating for All Might but Death Arms is retired? They know about Nomus but not about Izuku or other people being able to have multiple quirks and Mineta is still in school.
I have really no idea when this is happening.
I would have liked that it was Tsukauchi who continued the investigation, he is a natural and professional at his job, his lies detection quirk is very useful and he would the perfect candidates to navigate the multiple Hero agencies and other police precincts. Not many MHA fanfiction focus on the police aspect of the setting.
And since he was already focusing on an investigation for All Might, which I suspect was to find the League of Villains or people with multiple quirks so he would be the guy to check if the peoples with multiple quirks are from All for One or Sarumaru.
But Detective Heroes were such an untouched subject within the original MHA story that I am glad we will be exploring that! Plenty of side characters heroes to choose from. It even open the possibilities of students doing Internship or Work Studies that aren't Izuku-Bakugo-Todoroki (or most of 1-A and 1-B that are more battle/rescue oriented heroes). You could even have Odd-Eye join the investigation
.
Oh boy, they don't know about All for One yet. Mean they probably weren't warned to not enter in contact with the old boogeyman. Or Midoriya Izuku.
I fear Aria words are self prophecic. If Sarumaru turn against them or they turn against Sarumaru, what are their options? Side with the heroes? They aren't goodie-two-shoes and their ultimate goal is to go back to live forever and enslave people to feed on them.
They could go back into another world with their quirks but would they be safe from that guy, his goon and his master? Can they even work the portal themselves? They are stuck in that universe.
What they need is a plan and it doesn't seem Adagio has one better than accumulating quirks and master them until an eventual takeover with no steps planned between 1 and 3. They could change their way, find a method to be what they wanted when they accepted that deal but that would require changing. And changing something more than a thousand year old is... difficult.
They need something to even the odds against Sarumaru that don't come from him and is not a quirk. An ace in the hole so to speak. But it's not like they had or brought anything from Equestria when they came to MHA.
Oh? Now that's an interesting detail. Being rid of the Rainboom is also a nice bonus but this may be the indication that whatever was holding them back stayed in that universe.
Really? From what little we saw in canon, it wasn't that bad. They even had more loose quirk laws I think so people aren't feeling as oppressed by being restricted than Japan. It's only in the last arc of the manga when All for One called in his favors from his "friends" overseas that things turned to hell.
Small typo, I think it's supposed to be "normal" here.
Izuku?
Edit: came for a re-read because the scene reminded me of Wallflower Blush and the strange fleeting feeling Adagio got almost immediately forgetting the stranger could have been what Wallflower could have gotten for a quirk to remake the power she had with the Memory Stone. But alas this was a mysterious man who spoke with Adagio.
It would have been scary if 'whatever the name of the organization' Sarumaru had someone with Wallflower Blush abilities to do their spying.
Just two questions:
- do you upload this story elsewhere as well?
- and what made you choose those quirks for the Sirens? They are all emitter quirk right? Why not a transformation or heteromorph one? And what made you choose each one to achieve this balance in the team? What was the motivation behind them? Same goes for Shinji Kazan, what made you choose those three Quirks for him?
Wait... if they lost sing-spells... couldn't they go back to sex-spells? Perhaps even here in the MHA universe?
Wait, Adagio Blaze? When did happen? I thought the shipping vibes I was kind of getting from Adagio and Aria were a coincidence!
I know we haven't seen an update in a while but a random question popped in my mind about this story.
Since Sarumaru is gathering people from around the Multiverse attracting them with the promise of a fresh start and superpowers, is it possible that the organization recruited someone with abilities that may look like a superpower in MHA but is normal in their world? The Sirens lost their magical abilities but kept all their experience and skills from their long lives (even of they look like they have been brushing them off hard since they came to MHA).
Anyway, my point is, if Sarumaru got, let's say a Netrunner from Cyberpunk and they kept all their implants and systems, they could still use it in MHA and run loop around the ordinary MHA hackers if they don't have a quirk that help them with this. Could they get people like that? Of course said person would receive a quirk but it doesn't mean it would be computer related but like the Sirens having skills or abilities unrelated to the quirk to bring to the table for the organization would be a great acquisition.
Just wondering if a case like that could happen.
And another case, what if they took a pony from the MLP universe and brought them to MHA? Would they still be a pony? (As I write this, I don't remember if I asked this before)
