3 Days After The Battle of Kamino
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwIQpWTc3u
The angel returns to the waking world and finds himself staring into a dark ceiling.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz4wxunqOp
Azrael: ‘I’m alive… ’
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5LZ9wMkVI
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv75LMYmCQB
Azrael: ‘A new hideout, I suppose. All For One must have-’
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprHULGURgU
Dabi: “Seems like you’re awake.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf2bs48Ck4
Emerging out of the darkness outside the door was the scarred man within their little league.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpigD8KG6o4
Dabi: “Had to be on my shift. Well, I better ask how you’re doing.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIJIJHCCHC
Azrael: “Physically, fine but weaker. I pushed myself too far. Mentally… I… lost. I failed sensei and he had to save me.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2sx3hum7U
Dabi: “We all lost. Don’t go beating yourself over nothing.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48OcNwCVV0
The angel’s eyes widen as she slowly turns to his comrade.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUUgSoTBZN
Azrael: “We? What do you mean? I sent you all to All For One, and he-”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XHUzD1SGq
Dabi: “No. The big boss lost too.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwrxgFlqb0
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWFkxpBwZq
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiwsUM5XIZ
That fact doesn’t change anything for Azrael, though.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCc9Kkp7Mm
Azrael: “All For One… lost? Sensei… in jail?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsevKJfJgWO
The man trembles as tears threaten to spill from the utter impact of the news.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvd4qKT2xt
Dabi: “Don’t go crying. That will not change anything. Even the other two knew that.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlrl6us4HH
Azrael: “Theo? Tomura? Are they alright?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ct22LEmzG
Dabi: “Yes. The kid has been working himself to death in his lab while the boss is making plans.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtrYzG5SoB
Azrael: “… I see. I assume we are to lay low for a while and build our forces?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSPo6Qi1jy
Dabi: “That’s the plan. Now, I did my job. When you are ready, you can eat down below.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPNuRAcNTu
With that, the man left Azrael to his grief and anger. Feelings he knows all too well.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8gtKX79V4
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWUAm7uSmu
Azrael: ‘If I didn’t play with my food and instantly killed those pros, could I have helped sensei? Is… this my fault?’
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sKmuR5nMt
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3YWcHEnXO
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYvb5Md1L4
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYg61RruNO
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz8uwVQBjs
Spinner: “Look who decided to wake up. Some of us were worried you weren’t going to make it.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5bs6ySPjx
Azrael: “Don’t be. If I am to die, it won’t be by some hero.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0c8GZz1mP
He says while taking a seat at the table.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwRTgXyt9b
Compress: “You woke up at a good time; food should be here soon.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiO3L6Wzvk
Azrael: “Take-out, again?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o4STH9De0
Compress: “Of course, and of a lower quality due to the location. Can’t afford teleportation at the moment unless absolutely necessary.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH4M4FnnXQ
Azrael: “A wise choice. Will anyone else be joining us? Like Kota, for example.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRO7T9yDGa
Spinner: “Ah, about that… the kid isn’t with us.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmdrsoQJQm
Taking a slow breath, the angel went through the possibilities. Only one seemed likely.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vCYB3Fv45
Azrael: “I assume one of the heroes took him in.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7vf1zcbBu
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.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uG4tFeC3b
Azrael: “I see… ”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGdMEcwQie
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.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjswF1Z3xqL
Spinner: “Plan on getting Kota back?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr3wzW7B1O
Azrael: “… I’ll run it by Tomura first.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWa5tqvJ4t
It was then that the opening of a door was heard. From around the corner came Magne, Mustard, and Toga.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ0o4SBRPj
Toga: “Tada! Lunch has arrived!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3txFuQHEyl
Magne: “And it seems Azrael is awake too.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNr6ijPVRF
Azrael: “Hello, you three.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyOmh7pRYG
Spinner: “Please, tell me you brought something good this time.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxJ2ek3ZaM
Toga: “Big sis Magne is still pretty noticeable, and I can’t waste too much blood. So… ”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Sa4FXKcYt
Azrael: “Ah… ”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8ylud7amX
Protein bars, bread, water, and jolly ranchers. Not much of a meal.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp9EjMk9fz
Compress: “I said Mustard should be the one to go out. No one knows his face.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3p54EbaXH
Mustard: “You first.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRhrknzBrR
Azrael: “You don’t have to keep your mask on here, you know.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uvd0T1wW0
Mustard: “I prefer it on, thanks.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIoXMOVWhs
Spinner: “Eating alone again?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwq4JFifzT
Mustard: “Yeah, later.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNyzTl9Z3k
The boy takes a single protein bar and heads up to his room. In return, Twice, Dabi, and Tomura came down.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeqSvr12lR
Twice: “Whoa, is that a five-star meal I see!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC01AB2bPM
Toga: “You’re just saying that.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ASE9pONdZ
Twice: “No way, I always tell the truth. I’m a compulsive liar.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeSfHYOG08
Spinner: “It’s better than last time.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW68bDTqtO
As the others start taking the little share they are allowed, Tomura walks toward Azrael.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YksftbRtG
Tomura: “You’re awake.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwqcjIMwlZ
Azrael: “I am, and I… heard about what happened.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A1kcQ78aC
Tomura: “… Don’t worry about it. This changes nothing. Eat and get your strength up.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDwUQszfMH
Smiling, the angel removes his mask and takes a single loaf of bread.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y6GaxXIqK
While they eat in a comfortable silence, a blue portal opens up beside the table.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym2Irt2slF
Twice: “Can he not do that all the time? Pretty lights, love it!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V4t3GrjZT
From the portal steps out an exhausted and yawning Theo.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn5Ltjqbjm
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-”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHu8fVDeaQ
The boy’s eyes widen when he sees Azrael awake. Immediately, the boy tackles him with a bone-crushing hug.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfZaHPAVuK
Theo: “You’re awake! I thought you-”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtRDJssyeF
Opening his eyes, he realizes that he is reminding everyone of his true age. Getting off and coughing, Theo returns to his adult demeanor.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwkaSrGT7V
Theo: “I knew you would be alright; welcome back.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEEJfI7ado
Azrael: “I’m glad to see you too, Theo. I’m not happy to see bags under your eyes, though.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSPxUHqdPy
Theo: “Blame Giran. Ever since… you know, monetary support has been scarce. So it’s up to me to keep the lights on.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgmpeUDQwZ
Twice: “Yet we’re still eating gruel. Thanks for the food, good sir. Still 5-star!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktyBoCIHmK
Theo: “You’re welcome. And add onto my work with the next stone, school, and my undercover activities, and sleep is a distant dream.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae2ZKDEObm
Tomura: “If we’re going to accomplish our goals, we need you at your best. Take a break.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XjKkqDMBE
Theo: “I’m fine. Besides, I’m sure you’ll change your mind when I show you this!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyjnNxMRij
He opens a portal and brings out an actual 5-star meal. Quickly, he sits down an assortment of chicken, rice, eggs, and noodles.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkgYTwvWOR
Toga: “Whoa!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNqnOMduwq
Spinner: “Finally, some meat!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECq5qEJp1y
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.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw2dtYEF8V
Azrael: ‘A fact you refuse to let him forget.’
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyClslb84f
Tomura: “Wait.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidhO043O31
Theo: “Yeah?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSbQHPp36D
Tomura: “Where did you get this? Thought you were too busy, and Giran doesn’t offer such generous commissions.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKICUlfjvI
Theo: “Of course I stole it when a restaurant was in the crosshairs of a minor villain attack.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDrvMjk0ZX
Compress: “A poor stage, but well done.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlRElJV4zY
Theo: “Thanks.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfEyKrKFOH
Tomura: “I won’t reject the food. But you’re putting us at risk; knock it off.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyBq8FyRQT
Theo: “What do you-”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6EJf1B5eU
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.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ4aOPUF9N
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.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eLa3aPiMF
Tomura: “Strategist… ”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJNnATo9vT
Sensing that Tomura was serious about this, the boy relented.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIUPz7DeME
Theo: “Fine, all the bare necessities. No more risky theft.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6dNSgWnTw
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.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToB45wHNxJ
Theo: “I suppose… at least we can enjoy the meal.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNxjyNhrLQ
Azrael: “Actually, I can’t.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I8kMLsyNS
The group looks at Azrael, who has yet to take part in the new meal.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkz7HBrD1d
Tomura: “And why is that?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkwrF9RtmH
Azrael: “… Forgive me, but… I want to visit Sensei.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLc0y2coof
Silence enough to hear even a pen drop consumes the table. Until Spinner broke it.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMVenBUXy2
Spinner: “Are you crazy!? Do you know where he is?!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWZNikka7e
Toga: “The same place they took Mr. Stainy.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTAY9QtwKY
Compress: “As much as I would like to say I broke into Tartarus, I’m afraid that is far beyond our abilities.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7awZlQwliv
Tomura: “Azrael… explain.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhFiYdLgyh
Azrael: “… I just… I didn’t get to say goodbye.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HQNbWh4qq
Theo: “You think you’re the only one! I was knocked out by some little girl before his fight with All Might even happened!”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTed3w6gap
Twice: “Technically, she’s older than you. Shhh, not now, idiot.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFASjVLVRYS
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.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7r8GurMW1
With that, any joy that was blooming in the group was brought down.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG1Q3k0bFp
Tomura: “Even if we wanted one more moment with him, we can’t draw attention to ourselves.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjBPKxuJhG
Azrael: “We won’t have to. I can teleport in.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzfLnVSKAM
Theo: “Cameras.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2i5neq9hb
Azrael: “You’re smart enough to create us a window of opportunity.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPkf9vWGNk
Theo: “… Damn it, you’re lucky flattery works on me. It’s not impossible, I suppose.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh87yaSfRK0
Compress: “And what about the quirk suppressors?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP9ojAGs9i
Azrael: “I’ll be weakened, but it can’t fully turn off my quirk. Even if it’s a copy.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSqvQZcXtE
After a moment, and failing to suppress his own desire for one last meeting, even if by proxy, Tomura agrees.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8ol5U4dai
Tomura: “We can’t break him out. Too risky.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI4LHtwSDB
Azrael: “I know. Just a simple talk.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YulY5suZz
Tomura: “… Fine.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0owzuAvRF
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.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ0o9KTqAB
Theo: “Yeah, well, it will take a few days to create something that could scramble the systems for a few minutes.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5sJuz0qSL
Twice: “Seriously, kid, how smart are you!? Are you sure you don’t have a quirk? Rude question.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFoQuvYOex
Theo: “You’re right, that is rude. But I forgive you because you acknowledge my genius.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtwHaAbo4R
Dabi: “Can we eat now?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JFkCixjZR
Spinner: “Surprised you waited.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVgwxYMTCd
Dabi: “I prefer to eat in silence.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k85Ql1rkn
Theo: “So edgy.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPQK9Vxvh7
After a light chuckle among the more lighthearted members, the group ate the best meal they’ve had in a long while.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR5rzs0fie
10 Days After The Battle of Kamino
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqhZB5skWb
It was simpler than they thought it would be. Teleporters are exceedingly rare, and so defenses against such things are still rudimentary.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgtoOE6jS5
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP1FC2GWTv
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbiKCxmOer
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU42dOrK7X6
Sensing him, All For One spoke first.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmKTvaqhf2
All For One: “It would seem I underestimated you. I assumed this would be a place you three couldn’t reach.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwAftGUm7O
Azrael: “Theo made a way. But I only have around seven minutes.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkA59BsjN4
All For One: “Plenty of time to make an escape. But I hope that is not what you plan.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iRSRCd1mJ
Azrael: “No, it would be too risky and draw too many eyes.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ArPOPSajl
All For One: “Good. Tomura has grown well.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB76O8GytuJ
Azrael: “Indeed. He didn’t even want me coming, but I… insisted.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6E0PmTnRl
All For One: “Unexpected, I must say. I assumed Apotheosis would be the one to be the most emotional. But it was you.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRk0RkhQIn
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.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTjJDC6amc
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.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuIviNpLrd
Azrael: “… What?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc7JYdW7yU
All For One: “Not publicly, of course. The Public Safety Commission still wants a clean image. No, I will simply die from my injuries.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8M6pa5yhk
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4VV6sK8TH
Azrael: “Sensei, I-”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQxBz1Uz3i
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.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dO9K5xjse
Azrael: “… Yes, sensei.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEehoOjMekt
All For One: “Good. Let’s not waste time on such things. Did the other two leave a message? I assume they did.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0hTiMlDNT
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.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLUm4bQvf3
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.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNM2awxDmQ
Azrael: “Sensei… ”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn28Z1AefyI
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.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH1Nl6Xpey
Azrael: “What? But how can I without drawing attention? I might as well free you.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvL51g6bxe
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.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxziBJjcKQ
Azrael: “Of course. Tell me their names and locations.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdMGfJETQF
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D46lMzGpI
Turning away, the angel takes a breath and opens a portal. But not before saying words that leave even All For One stunned.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvXyJO1Dv8
Azrael: “Goodbye, Father.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPaKHBhuXJ
And with that, he was gone to recruit All For One’s last gift. For said man, he recovered quickly and smiled.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmejgvlCy0
All For One: “Father… huh… ”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHc81mtNB6
His mind flashes back to when the three of them gifted him the helmet.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eJwfZgGpz
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDH4zHHqbA
All For One: “What is this?”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vv2YBkarb
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHCCRTMLUt
Theo: “It’s a special helmet we made.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFuqUvp9ow
Tomura: “I thought of it.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzFHyHuEsu
Azrael: “I designed it.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWe8AshBPO
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.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6HHoOA2c0
Azrael: “So don’t overdo it.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DzM6N5ik2
All For One: “I should be the one giving you three gifts.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98yt4mPo6r
An unknown feeling begins to swell within his chest as he looks into the mask. The result were words he rarely spoke to anyone.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUtbpl241h
All For One: “Thank you.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK0qhvjCFw
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.
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGNFTkOXpy
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BLUroD9Un
All For One: “I see now.”
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMHyDHRUEu
He cared for them.
