04: Vigilant? Oh.

04: Vigilant? Oh.

Lich lazily lied down on the ground. He was in his dog form, walking around the streets of the nearest city, he had been taking care of his siblings for a long time... But now he needs money. He is tired of stealing, so he wants money. He is willing to steal banks to get money or even become a mercenary if necessary, he will never let his siblings suffer... And that's what is he doing right now, he is lying outside the bank, gathering intel. Why? Even though Quirks started to awaken for mostly now 10 years, the initial chaos that exploded at first, now everything is more or less calm... There is a lot of greedy people that use their quirks to take everything they want, and there are some people that protecting people from these villains.

They are called Vigilant by the people, some call them heroes. These people would use their quirks to save and protect people. When Lich was starting to get bored, he heard a noise down the street! It was an explosion, a car was being driven and the speed limit had been broken by now, they didn't stop and hit the car against the glass door of the bank, destroying it completely. Lich dodged some glass shards and observed as four guys got out of their car and rush inside the bank, knocking out the guards. Who were not strong ro begin with they only had some alterations like horns on their foreheads or an extra arm... Pathetic right? Anyway, Lich saw as a guy got some pebbles out of his pockets and threw them against, Lich just saw and heard the explosion that happened after.

He coughed the smoke while changing his form to a small bird to keep an eye out for the money. If this bank is getting robbed, at least the money is going to be his! He waited until another guy appeared, this one was using a ridiculous costume with a purple mask on his face to try and hide his identity... Lich saw that his quirk was somewhat related to shadow as his shadow, on the ground, started to dance and shot out of the ground and a huge hand slapped the air, blasting the smoke away with the sheer force of the wind. He watched as the shadow then flew towards the four guys who tried to fight back, one of them made some sort of a wall while another one breathed fire, and the last one literally spits acid. The guy with the shadow quirk alone was able to defeat the four guys, he was going to take them to the police station while Lich observed... He decided. With a thought, the earth at his feet expanded and he started to control it and change his shape at the same time. 

He took the shape of a humanoid wolf, he was taller than he normally is in his human form, with grey fur all around his body and silver eyes. He decided to use the surprise element to attack the guy with shadow quirk, he used earth to wrap around his legs and cover his shadow that seemed to not be happy with it. It seemed like it had a mind of its own... Lich used his speed to take the bag that had the money and jumped while changing shape into a huge eagle to carry the bag with his talons. The guy only reacted when Lich was flying away, using his quirk to control the wind around him and reduce the air resistance, Lich used all his strength to fly away. He was super nervous, this was the first time he stole money and it was somewhat harder for him. Every time he stole something he would say himself that it was for his siblings, but he got something heavier in his hands now...

Breathing in and out he calmed down. He first was going to buy something... A house? Maybe it isn't so bad, a house would be good... No. First, he will buy adult clothes for himself, change his body, and increase his height so he looks like an adult so he can fool someone and get a room in a hotel or something. With baths and stuff... Lich sighed and continued to fly. For the first time, he wasn't going paranoid about everything. He was at first super scared and worried about Sapphire because he thought the researchers would get her back... Then it was himself and his untrustworthy paranoia. He couldn't trust an adult at all! 

Lich landed in a clothes shop. He could buy or steal... He stole. Is a habit okay? He left money behind, okay? He left 100 dollars. He has now 100,500 dollars. There was more money on the bank, but he couldn't steal it at all without getting himself into real trouble. Lich flew towards the forest after flying around three times just to be careful that he was not being followed. Sadly he couldn't stop a tracking based quirk. His own shadow betrayed when he landed on his base and returned to his human form, he sighed in relief. He took the new clothes he had, the soap he bought, and water. He made a huge pool with earth and filled it with water. In those two years, Lich's control got better, so he can now increase or decrease the temperature of the water to make it ice or steam! With a huge bath made, Lich called the children and dragged them to take a bath with him because they were going to the city. Lich's plan was simple.

Get a hotel room for everyone. Get food. And try to figure out what he wants to do. He smiled whole watching his siblings, they were playing with the water, Lich also played with them to maintain them entertained... Suddenly he got a feeling from the forest. The forest sent him a feeling or word: 'Danger' and 'Intruder' that was getting near his base. He got all the kids to leave the bathtub, dried them up with his wind ability, and got them dressed and said to Jun and Anne: "Take your siblings and go. I have something to do now. Anne will carry Sapphire and Leon to the city with you please." Lich just then noticed his shadow moving. It smiled at him with red eyes... He was careless, he needs to keep his siblings safe. He got them to leave and immediately changed his body to a lizard. His voice became lower as he said: "Come out. I know you are there." The then he saw, three vigilantes or so, walking towards him... It seems like they just arrived and were not peeping at him rushing his siblings out. He looked at them and frowned when he saw the shadow on his feet dance and a part of it detaching itself and returning to the guy with a purple mask.

"Thanks, Shadow. So... I recommend you return the money you stole." Lich didn't say anything and used the water of the tub, creating steam. With his wind control and water control he created a thick mist to try and get away, but he saw as the guy with a blue outfit clapped his hands and wind blew all the mist away. Lich watched as both the green masked guy and the purple masked guy attacked him, the shadow on his feet tried to swallow him and green beans were shot from the green's guy fingernails. Lich didn't spare a glance at his attacks and created a pair of wings on his back, he changed the feather to become harder than iron and flapped them hard! His whole body shot up when he was getting away the shadow on his body suddenly became chains and tied him up to the ground. Lich sighed to calm himself down and said: "Ultimate Attack: [Earthquake]"
