3 Days After The Battle of Kamino
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OFVylAVH4
The angel returns to the waking world and finds himself staring into a dark ceiling.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvvnGXDBJ0
Azrael: ‘I’m alive… ’
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYWm2l4cY2
A familiar feeling of disappointment echoes in his head before he can smother it. Getting up, he looks around to see a dingy square room with a single open door.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaorAHAFMtU
Azrael: ‘A new hideout, I suppose. All For One must have-’
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqEO2RrVmk
Dabi: “Seems like you’re awake.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxhgMgZxFr
Emerging out of the darkness outside the door was the scarred man within their little league.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpkHE3fnR5
Dabi: “Had to be on my shift. Well, I better ask how you’re doing.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWZyefJfeJ
Azrael: “Physically, fine but weaker. I pushed myself too far. Mentally… I… lost. I failed sensei and he had to save me.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo1KZ9fHiv
Dabi: “We all lost. Don’t go beating yourself over nothing.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkS3yYCKhw
The angel’s eyes widen as she slowly turns to his comrade.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjX6Yk62sv
Azrael: “We? What do you mean? I sent you all to All For One, and he-”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6Rh5C49k1
Dabi: “No. The big boss lost too.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAedJqrTk2X
The man didn’t let Azrael breathe and didn’t sugarcoat anything. Explaining exactly what happened and where they are now. The League of Villains are now stationed in one of their many safe houses around the country.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad1zsrSHwK
It’s much further than the original and far away from the heroes they’re supposed to be fighting. In return though, it’s much more spacious. Almost like a villain dorm.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhdOlXwM8u
That fact doesn’t change anything for Azrael, though.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGQ2pWuZqu
Azrael: “All For One… lost? Sensei… in jail?”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xUq0Uv84M
The man trembles as tears threaten to spill from the utter impact of the news.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5Bkl20cJH
Dabi: “Don’t go crying. That will not change anything. Even the other two knew that.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOqmIOXgJX
Azrael: “Theo? Tomura? Are they alright?”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeNQbXf1LW
Dabi: “Yes. The kid has been working himself to death in his lab while the boss is making plans.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpzcJ1XLPQ
Azrael: “… I see. I assume we are to lay low for a while and build our forces?”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g7DBdT4vA
Dabi: “That’s the plan. Now, I did my job. When you are ready, you can eat down below.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6prMVc5qvR
With that, the man left Azrael to his grief and anger. Feelings he knows all too well.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL6e4GvXCM
Looking at his hands, the angel lets a single tear fall. Not one more shall fall. Dabi is right that nothing will change. Still, the thought remained.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mQoESKPeF
Azrael: ‘If I didn’t play with my food and instantly killed those pros, could I have helped sensei? Is… this my fault?’
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HMh3QJziH
Balling his fists, he can only accept it as truth. When he does, he can move forward and focus on vengeance. Anything less would be a disgrace.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabi45uclYv
So the man got out of the bed, redressed himself with the business attire left for him on the chair, and went down. The base was truly a downgrade from before, not a complete dump, but more like the underside of a boiler room.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7VWk9PbLF
Pipes line the walls, and red light was the main source of illumination. The layout, though, was nice. It was a dorm system with several rooms converted into personal, but temporary, homes for the members. The center was an open space that could be used as a living room.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5jQA7R681
Arriving in said place, Azrael was welcomed by Spinner and Compress. They’re sitting down at a rectangular table, seemingly waiting for food to arrive.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknWnrSodcP
Spinner: “Look who decided to wake up. Some of us were worried you weren’t going to make it.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI59RbMW3M
Azrael: “Don’t be. If I am to die, it won’t be by some hero.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCIvsVaBdy
He says while taking a seat at the table.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lXX83Fc1U
Compress: “You woke up at a good time; food should be here soon.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCqpuvkCRh
Azrael: “Take-out, again?”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡninr1VK7EN
Compress: “Of course, and of a lower quality due to the location. Can’t afford teleportation at the moment unless absolutely necessary.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYTf0vsLNc
Azrael: “A wise choice. Will anyone else be joining us? Like Kota, for example.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuNWOmHMkt
Spinner: “Ah, about that… the kid isn’t with us.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmFQJoFVvA
Taking a slow breath, the angel went through the possibilities. Only one seemed likely.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5wN4NIlhc
Azrael: “I assume one of the heroes took him in.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqL3TmVvcb
Spinner: “Yeah, at least it was his family and not a prison. Though I’m sure many would prefer that despite him being a kid and all.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOh1X4mmyc
Azrael: “I see… ”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVHVUhcPil
Compress: “As for the others, they do come down from time to time. Mustard, for example, is currently releasing his poison outside. In a way that doesn’t reveal our location.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi9llsP2QS
Spinner: “Plan on getting Kota back?”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgjqXTWw0d
Azrael: “… I’ll run it by Tomura first.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumfUck7pf5
It was then that the opening of a door was heard. From around the corner came Magne, Mustard, and Toga.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSgvqAUKuD
Toga: “Tada! Lunch has arrived!”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz2uKTqcLe
Magne: “And it seems Azrael is awake too.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK2LuJqxSX
Azrael: “Hello, you three.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiw3p2ZcNb
Spinner: “Please, tell me you brought something good this time.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJX71uhmEy
Toga: “Big sis Magne is still pretty noticeable, and I can’t waste too much blood. So… ”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQAAXopjdt
Azrael: “Ah… ”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtDbML2Y07
Protein bars, bread, water, and jolly ranchers. Not much of a meal.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfnr6h5pWS
Compress: “I said Mustard should be the one to go out. No one knows his face.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdXF8CpEFP
Mustard: “You first.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiM6NwVkE1
Azrael: “You don’t have to keep your mask on here, you know.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUtG8sIv3i
Mustard: “I prefer it on, thanks.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU32xySmDsW
Spinner: “Eating alone again?”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PkPMXkx8d
Mustard: “Yeah, later.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCabsq6dBG
The boy takes a single protein bar and heads up to his room. In return, Twice, Dabi, and Tomura came down.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHi3q5k1AH
Twice: “Whoa, is that a five-star meal I see!”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj6lTrgVOI
Toga: “You’re just saying that.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEBHxewLUh
Twice: “No way, I always tell the truth. I’m a compulsive liar.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ijPajTQDe
Spinner: “It’s better than last time.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWT8XoOT45
As the others start taking the little share they are allowed, Tomura walks toward Azrael.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZVnsxxcQ8
Tomura: “You’re awake.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnIpGVflhD
Azrael: “I am, and I… heard about what happened.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER95WAMlDz
Tomura: “… Don’t worry about it. This changes nothing. Eat and get your strength up.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi50v3dDGLy
Smiling, the angel removes his mask and takes a single loaf of bread.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJevq3SiAC
While they eat in a comfortable silence, a blue portal opens up beside the table.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicALNWg0Ko
Twice: “Can he not do that all the time? Pretty lights, love it!”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMax2GdiU4T
From the portal steps out an exhausted and yawning Theo.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagrWXH2f4d
Theo: “I swear Giran drives me crazy. I know villain activity has increased, but that doesn’t mean I have to be the one to equip them all. The pay isn’t even that-”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd2ATwOOoX
The boy’s eyes widen when he sees Azrael awake. Immediately, the boy tackles him with a bone-crushing hug.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoTrUnpZSm
Theo: “You’re awake! I thought you-”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pkrcpbp3M
Opening his eyes, he realizes that he is reminding everyone of his true age. Getting off and coughing, Theo returns to his adult demeanor.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHhgLD5qDw
Theo: “I knew you would be alright; welcome back.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mmH6Wk45C
Azrael: “I’m glad to see you too, Theo. I’m not happy to see bags under your eyes, though.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTu4jTGcaq
Theo: “Blame Giran. Ever since… you know, monetary support has been scarce. So it’s up to me to keep the lights on.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO0GAhMCzd
Twice: “Yet we’re still eating gruel. Thanks for the food, good sir. Still 5-star!”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkGWZNJZAD
Theo: “You’re welcome. And add onto my work with the next stone, school, and my undercover activities, and sleep is a distant dream.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GW05l2aYF
Tomura: “If we’re going to accomplish our goals, we need you at your best. Take a break.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqGdSbZD8Z
Theo: “I’m fine. Besides, I’m sure you’ll change your mind when I show you this!”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnVapgpXfF
He opens a portal and brings out an actual 5-star meal. Quickly, he sits down an assortment of chicken, rice, eggs, and noodles.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGO14xVI9Y
Toga: “Whoa!”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96WvO4vTYI
Spinner: “Finally, some meat!”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBnKOlgCQx
Theo: “Yes, you may now refer to me as the strategist and the provider of goods. Long, I know. Anyway, I’ll get Mustard. He’s even younger than me and so needs it the most.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV9PKohJxB
Azrael: ‘A fact you refuse to let him forget.’
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fyxdCQBZq
Tomura: “Wait.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT6jnFzJxn
Theo: “Yeah?”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiT6gSJcAf
Tomura: “Where did you get this? Thought you were too busy, and Giran doesn’t offer such generous commissions.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEwYLw2AEA
Theo: “Of course I stole it when a restaurant was in the crosshairs of a minor villain attack.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrawHGTSJnY
Compress: “A poor stage, but well done.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvLhvNtGx9
Theo: “Thanks.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iooJvrHQc
Tomura: “I won’t reject the food. But you’re putting us at risk; knock it off.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWYgsZPKQP
Theo: “What do you-”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzW0XcfKt6
Tomura: “We’re supposed to be laying low for now. Doing something like that will only make it more likely for a hero to sniff us out.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro34W6bQHk
Theo: “Come on, no one knows my real face. My undercover persona hasn’t been leaked. If anyone should be getting food and supplies, it’s me.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILyWVckruI
Tomura: “Strategist… ”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfmg2zYkpa
Sensing that Tomura was serious about this, the boy relented.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAIEbpFjuj
Theo: “Fine, all the bare necessities. No more risky theft.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET8fhTQl0t
Compress: “Oh, but that is the best kind. But I understand our leader’s hesitance to put you at more risk. You already have a lot on your plate.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKAwcx27Pe
Theo: “I suppose… at least we can enjoy the meal.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi31YNKSGl
Azrael: “Actually, I can’t.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcecorTZObn
The group looks at Azrael, who has yet to take part in the new meal.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpshxTuZTI
Tomura: “And why is that?”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJBc98rrCx
Azrael: “… Forgive me, but… I want to visit Sensei.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRyidWmYF4
Silence enough to hear even a pen drop consumes the table. Until Spinner broke it.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJlmMA7u5Q
Spinner: “Are you crazy!? Do you know where he is?!”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVdL5Zfd7i
Toga: “The same place they took Mr. Stainy.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShqruxQmGP
Compress: “As much as I would like to say I broke into Tartarus, I’m afraid that is far beyond our abilities.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GIzXKw1uP
Tomura: “Azrael… explain.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYmhkkm8Dy
Azrael: “… I just… I didn’t get to say goodbye.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrEA5QTIDU
Theo: “You think you’re the only one! I was knocked out by some little girl before his fight with All Might even happened!”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRwAnBJv6h
Twice: “Technically, she’s older than you. Shhh, not now, idiot.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t0PHpOrzY
Theo: “Honestly, that makes it worse. Add that onto the fact my family helped bring him down, and I… I feel sick to my stomach.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAcE1ZKk4o
With that, any joy that was blooming in the group was brought down.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBnYBIuLzk
Tomura: “Even if we wanted one more moment with him, we can’t draw attention to ourselves.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMQqlijJZR
Azrael: “We won’t have to. I can teleport in.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnPG6RMyJh
Theo: “Cameras.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZQ3zIab8v
Azrael: “You’re smart enough to create us a window of opportunity.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsj5kQP8hE
Theo: “… Damn it, you’re lucky flattery works on me. It’s not impossible, I suppose.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsjuc4L0PS
Compress: “And what about the quirk suppressors?”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReIuvghkPj
Azrael: “I’ll be weakened, but it can’t fully turn off my quirk. Even if it’s a copy.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7ahc2uyG7
After a moment, and failing to suppress his own desire for one last meeting, even if by proxy, Tomura agrees.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbjium5j5T
Tomura: “We can’t break him out. Too risky.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl7KMKdqCv
Azrael: “I know. Just a simple talk.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1VfWiclDd
Tomura: “… Fine.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2mPDx6L5N
Compress: “Interesting, we’re actually breaking into the famous Tartarus. Shame we can’t tell anyone about our task. It would be one worthy of the history books.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX9ztE1Vvo
Theo: “Yeah, well, it will take a few days to create something that could scramble the systems for a few minutes.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpD7gXdE40
Twice: “Seriously, kid, how smart are you!? Are you sure you don’t have a quirk? Rude question.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ypH2dKVya
Theo: “You’re right, that is rude. But I forgive you because you acknowledge my genius.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZquhEuIZZU
Dabi: “Can we eat now?”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObJj2WR722
Spinner: “Surprised you waited.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVHhucooPD
Dabi: “I prefer to eat in silence.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuzYLBO3w9
Theo: “So edgy.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEuBCaBmMj
After a light chuckle among the more lighthearted members, the group ate the best meal they’ve had in a long while.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm6m2f38t3
10 Days After The Battle of Kamino
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZS2tq8vhW
It was simpler than they thought it would be. Teleporters are exceedingly rare, and so defenses against such things are still rudimentary.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLw9eHVpME
As for the cameras and sensors, it took longer than Theo thought, but he did create a device to feed false data into them. Ready, the plan was set and executed without much issue.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIZTns8RrA
Kurogiri opened a small portal behind All For One, and Theo tossed the device inside, and it activated within three seconds. Next, Azrael used his own portal to walk into All For One’s cell.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU29htwYSDj
This way, if they can trace unique portal or spatial distortion signatures, they’ll get two different ones. Once inside, Azrael levitated an inch off the ground so he wouldn’t leave a trace.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOWQRglteL
Sensing him, All For One spoke first.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfYGHL8M3X
All For One: “It would seem I underestimated you. I assumed this would be a place you three couldn’t reach.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76cBQd2oDL
Azrael: “Theo made a way. But I only have around seven minutes.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs6a6G5eha
All For One: “Plenty of time to make an escape. But I hope that is not what you plan.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSS63qfDQM
Azrael: “No, it would be too risky and draw too many eyes.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoFqO0vJHm
All For One: “Good. Tomura has grown well.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2CMOxgNvi
Azrael: “Indeed. He didn’t even want me coming, but I… insisted.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AhpOZe76h
All For One: “Unexpected, I must say. I assumed Apotheosis would be the one to be the most emotional. But it was you.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOxn3X5gUe
Azrael: “Forgive me for my… weakness. But I… had to see you one more time. I may not make it before… my body gives out.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvdPJk3IGV
All For One: “I’m afraid any plan to break me out once Tomura is complete will be in vain. They plan to execute me in a month.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33gErd4RLs
Azrael: “… What?”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mgi10kgiT
All For One: “Not publicly, of course. The Public Safety Commission still wants a clean image. No, I will simply die from my injuries.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7veiTcPqR
It took all the man had to not lose his composure from the news. It was already bad enough seeing his sensei in such a broken state, but now this? No matter how he tries, he can’t stop his eyes from watering once more. Another reason to hate his failure.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqghQex2Th3
Azrael: “Sensei, I-”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN9yLXy51k
All For One: “There is no time for apologies. What’s done is done. It is time for you three to stand on your own.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPXYRO1XfM
Azrael: “… Yes, sensei.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb021SPUfFy
All For One: “Good. Let’s not waste time on such things. Did the other two leave a message? I assume they did.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Dd9iFSNRV
Azrael: “Yes, but it’s short. Tomura simply promises to achieve the goal that you’ve guided him towards all this time. For you not to worry about him, that he will continue to grow. Theo promises to break you out when he can and to place All Might in here in your place.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSH3f8wCH5
All For One: “Ha! That would be an interesting sight to see. A shame he’ll have to break that promise. I’m proud of you all.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3MiX0pRPM
Azrael: “Sensei… ”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmkhmY0elH
All For One: “That is why I want to leave one last gift. In this prison are three individuals who will greatly aid you and will share in your vision.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeSx0zlAPL
Azrael: “What? But how can I without drawing attention? I might as well free you.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRBuSZPvDO
All For One: “Breaking me out will be too much trouble, but those three will draw little attention. At least from the media and general heroes. I’m confident the Commission will bury the loss and send agents of their own to figure out what happened. I trust you’ll deal with them if they do find you.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZF5Is9DqS
Azrael: “Of course. Tell me their names and locations.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1ZfrpJipe
And so he did; all three are people used and abused by the society the League intends to bring down. With the information received, it was time to say goodbye. The last one.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezF4IZn0vl
Turning away, the angel takes a breath and opens a portal. But not before saying words that leave even All For One stunned.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV0HcHwM0t
Azrael: “Goodbye, Father.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoXRB3DnNF
And with that, he was gone to recruit All For One’s last gift. For said man, he recovered quickly and smiled.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIBA73RJCE
All For One: “Father… huh… ”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN2ikE2h8c
His mind flashes back to when the three of them gifted him the helmet.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosuXZwxAag
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh3x6CdHLw
All For One: “What is this?”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJYu3RlwC2
The three of them stand before their father, who is sitting in his life-support chair, looking down at a gift box. After a second, he opened it to reveal a metal mask that resembled a crude skull with tubes attached to the back.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JDEa3NdJq
Theo: “It’s a special helmet we made.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1fhVMgnvr
Tomura: “I thought of it.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg7VVMPWC7
Azrael: “I designed it.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEf2QAxtpM
Theo: “And I, of course, built it. Basically, it’s like a portable life support machine you can wear. Should last around an hour or so, depending on what quirks you use.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFgY95hA2b
Azrael: “So don’t overdo it.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEjCd6Dvr5
All For One: “I should be the one giving you three gifts.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYosf2G2Fg
An unknown feeling begins to swell within his chest as he looks into the mask. The result were words he rarely spoke to anyone.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErNRdYsVMD
All For One: “Thank you.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUmciAtgwd
Theo responded with a bright smile. Azrael’s eyes did the smiling. While Tomura simply looked away, but the man could tell he was happy due to how his heart skipped a beat.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb90XHnOrm
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRggD11vthT
All For One: “I see now.”
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav7DQoLwtT
He cared for them.
