3 Days After The Battle of Kamino
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRtzFsuPrx
The angel returns to the waking world and finds himself staring into a dark ceiling.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCQ2mxfhJV
Azrael: ‘I’m alive… ’
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtXu00BjST
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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OW0id5NM2
Azrael: ‘A new hideout, I suppose. All For One must have-’
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcjmc33b7S
Dabi: “Seems like you’re awake.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEcoFb2DiM
Emerging out of the darkness outside the door was the scarred man within their little league.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4g58VW8Cv
Dabi: “Had to be on my shift. Well, I better ask how you’re doing.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKVEt8aAFX
Azrael: “Physically, fine but weaker. I pushed myself too far. Mentally… I… lost. I failed sensei and he had to save me.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPARbxI8PhB
Dabi: “We all lost. Don’t go beating yourself over nothing.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjelOMzxKsx
The angel’s eyes widen as she slowly turns to his comrade.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEJn0g162n
Azrael: “We? What do you mean? I sent you all to All For One, and he-”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtuKwLXqyM
Dabi: “No. The big boss lost too.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKYTqV9IhJ
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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDfXsFiqcF
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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG393FizQa8
That fact doesn’t change anything for Azrael, though.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6VnwuI3gN
Azrael: “All For One… lost? Sensei… in jail?”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FRuCrvYMw
The man trembles as tears threaten to spill from the utter impact of the news.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMZ33LQmkM
Dabi: “Don’t go crying. That will not change anything. Even the other two knew that.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GAphLUsaW
Azrael: “Theo? Tomura? Are they alright?”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArgeBIXm24
Dabi: “Yes. The kid has been working himself to death in his lab while the boss is making plans.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX5TCdFMmm
Azrael: “… I see. I assume we are to lay low for a while and build our forces?”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFb6oeZ93p
Dabi: “That’s the plan. Now, I did my job. When you are ready, you can eat down below.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGWDQaZ3vk
With that, the man left Azrael to his grief and anger. Feelings he knows all too well.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83aUf2IqxU
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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhMZGiAcEU
Azrael: ‘If I didn’t play with my food and instantly killed those pros, could I have helped sensei? Is… this my fault?’
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCcZRFlTv6
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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pDI0i6CnZ
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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RwwLvLjWF
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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeHjefoQ7J
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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4fqKWZ5lj
Spinner: “Look who decided to wake up. Some of us were worried you weren’t going to make it.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftffpkT3vZ
Azrael: “Don’t be. If I am to die, it won’t be by some hero.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kE19xSPcm
He says while taking a seat at the table.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfetCUgjzCU
Compress: “You woke up at a good time; food should be here soon.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUi9C7np6N
Azrael: “Take-out, again?”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSsquJwWHJ
Compress: “Of course, and of a lower quality due to the location. Can’t afford teleportation at the moment unless absolutely necessary.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHo39MJ2Cb
Azrael: “A wise choice. Will anyone else be joining us? Like Kota, for example.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2f9NUtngy
Spinner: “Ah, about that… the kid isn’t with us.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdiu8XHoKw
Taking a slow breath, the angel went through the possibilities. Only one seemed likely.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbn4ChRKem
Azrael: “I assume one of the heroes took him in.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3sX1WFoOR
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.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85KI1yawUE
Azrael: “I see… ”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyqMwiQ61X
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.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGZZkTn9jE
Spinner: “Plan on getting Kota back?”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOWyfERjIY
Azrael: “… I’ll run it by Tomura first.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKiCYBNmBo
It was then that the opening of a door was heard. From around the corner came Magne, Mustard, and Toga.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0Q0WKAbCo
Toga: “Tada! Lunch has arrived!”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW9sKBcUjQ
Magne: “And it seems Azrael is awake too.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGLl8shLvx
Azrael: “Hello, you three.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LabYHaevl
Spinner: “Please, tell me you brought something good this time.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3JxGtfYSt
Toga: “Big sis Magne is still pretty noticeable, and I can’t waste too much blood. So… ”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJISOJYB6M
Azrael: “Ah… ”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTF6CSPYwh
Protein bars, bread, water, and jolly ranchers. Not much of a meal.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ6pQGhF49
Compress: “I said Mustard should be the one to go out. No one knows his face.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qG5Wb7DFq
Mustard: “You first.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL7ePLuksi
Azrael: “You don’t have to keep your mask on here, you know.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiOrYUDJSI
Mustard: “I prefer it on, thanks.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeR1dqVX9m
Spinner: “Eating alone again?”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9Vsq7Ihlj
Mustard: “Yeah, later.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV7BlGweQk
The boy takes a single protein bar and heads up to his room. In return, Twice, Dabi, and Tomura came down.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL4fgUElmz
Twice: “Whoa, is that a five-star meal I see!”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2c2kd1bHz
Toga: “You’re just saying that.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wp6QO6xfR
Twice: “No way, I always tell the truth. I’m a compulsive liar.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEilzYEQKy
Spinner: “It’s better than last time.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNco4F4HNa
As the others start taking the little share they are allowed, Tomura walks toward Azrael.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLkLv1S0f1
Tomura: “You’re awake.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAIdhrfrkw
Azrael: “I am, and I… heard about what happened.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzltFVXUXJ
Tomura: “… Don’t worry about it. This changes nothing. Eat and get your strength up.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakYuQ896W2
Smiling, the angel removes his mask and takes a single loaf of bread.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDvz4wPrm7
While they eat in a comfortable silence, a blue portal opens up beside the table.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd19KD4I5xq
Twice: “Can he not do that all the time? Pretty lights, love it!”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJjuH0L6lK
From the portal steps out an exhausted and yawning Theo.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldJI2cmU31
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-”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUxzjtkcGd
The boy’s eyes widen when he sees Azrael awake. Immediately, the boy tackles him with a bone-crushing hug.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnRSQt3u32
Theo: “You’re awake! I thought you-”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ypzdScaR2
Opening his eyes, he realizes that he is reminding everyone of his true age. Getting off and coughing, Theo returns to his adult demeanor.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTCvogTf3Q
Theo: “I knew you would be alright; welcome back.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbpW7PfW9D
Azrael: “I’m glad to see you too, Theo. I’m not happy to see bags under your eyes, though.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16pcNrOX0K
Theo: “Blame Giran. Ever since… you know, monetary support has been scarce. So it’s up to me to keep the lights on.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv6WrjUMhO
Twice: “Yet we’re still eating gruel. Thanks for the food, good sir. Still 5-star!”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIHZpqra6a
Theo: “You’re welcome. And add onto my work with the next stone, school, and my undercover activities, and sleep is a distant dream.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWahT6dlii
Tomura: “If we’re going to accomplish our goals, we need you at your best. Take a break.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxV1m04E7v
Theo: “I’m fine. Besides, I’m sure you’ll change your mind when I show you this!”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBrZnkkgMz
He opens a portal and brings out an actual 5-star meal. Quickly, he sits down an assortment of chicken, rice, eggs, and noodles.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8w76j9Cu2
Toga: “Whoa!”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lyc9OUQMh
Spinner: “Finally, some meat!”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHL9n3SD9C
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.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFND3DNVslE
Azrael: ‘A fact you refuse to let him forget.’
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxjZZqo4Tt
Tomura: “Wait.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRioIEEbSGn
Theo: “Yeah?”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9ZsDWr9FU
Tomura: “Where did you get this? Thought you were too busy, and Giran doesn’t offer such generous commissions.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtbzeb08p9
Theo: “Of course I stole it when a restaurant was in the crosshairs of a minor villain attack.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHqQWqNWzB
Compress: “A poor stage, but well done.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lREENlPRi
Theo: “Thanks.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIgDwCrd8D
Tomura: “I won’t reject the food. But you’re putting us at risk; knock it off.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoog2bldCNl
Theo: “What do you-”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXZ4Pmare3
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.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6sVUpEqdq
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.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMEo61wLWm
Tomura: “Strategist… ”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV7a1Z3igD
Sensing that Tomura was serious about this, the boy relented.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6gtRW6p4q
Theo: “Fine, all the bare necessities. No more risky theft.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPRcZpiU9t
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.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO01bnNkG6
Theo: “I suppose… at least we can enjoy the meal.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DMPlOCM3r
Azrael: “Actually, I can’t.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafScDafXX4
The group looks at Azrael, who has yet to take part in the new meal.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZHQ5jUr7A
Tomura: “And why is that?”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5CDDOfT6G
Azrael: “… Forgive me, but… I want to visit Sensei.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSGiKEKHCz
Silence enough to hear even a pen drop consumes the table. Until Spinner broke it.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbQ28K951M
Spinner: “Are you crazy!? Do you know where he is?!”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1JvRPC8kI
Toga: “The same place they took Mr. Stainy.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EOpfkYv7H
Compress: “As much as I would like to say I broke into Tartarus, I’m afraid that is far beyond our abilities.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB0H5xfgNp
Tomura: “Azrael… explain.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBgxktqNOX
Azrael: “… I just… I didn’t get to say goodbye.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuGzOcAEcT
Theo: “You think you’re the only one! I was knocked out by some little girl before his fight with All Might even happened!”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsIwRzqlPN
Twice: “Technically, she’s older than you. Shhh, not now, idiot.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaMCgu9Bzy
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.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0vzopOumo
With that, any joy that was blooming in the group was brought down.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcohn3mzys
Tomura: “Even if we wanted one more moment with him, we can’t draw attention to ourselves.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRULHbxA5c
Azrael: “We won’t have to. I can teleport in.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXyseOxPRS
Theo: “Cameras.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA6AL24lYk
Azrael: “You’re smart enough to create us a window of opportunity.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMef3T3KzD
Theo: “… Damn it, you’re lucky flattery works on me. It’s not impossible, I suppose.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99Z2xzc0xO
Compress: “And what about the quirk suppressors?”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH6sft7lgN
Azrael: “I’ll be weakened, but it can’t fully turn off my quirk. Even if it’s a copy.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalQQvbzHNu
After a moment, and failing to suppress his own desire for one last meeting, even if by proxy, Tomura agrees.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ustORRgrT
Tomura: “We can’t break him out. Too risky.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGeNv5GWQF
Azrael: “I know. Just a simple talk.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj2d01mHdw
Tomura: “… Fine.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxlM2NLKLG
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.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFKUJSxxOP
Theo: “Yeah, well, it will take a few days to create something that could scramble the systems for a few minutes.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIkt3kFCBg
Twice: “Seriously, kid, how smart are you!? Are you sure you don’t have a quirk? Rude question.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2YDMYTqWi
Theo: “You’re right, that is rude. But I forgive you because you acknowledge my genius.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHcyNT76Zy
Dabi: “Can we eat now?”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcxcJFkESh
Spinner: “Surprised you waited.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVq00Uv9pe
Dabi: “I prefer to eat in silence.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzTTu17GAP
Theo: “So edgy.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHngOF1lMUC
After a light chuckle among the more lighthearted members, the group ate the best meal they’ve had in a long while.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8DNUVakSl
10 Days After The Battle of Kamino
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIXfKMJG67
It was simpler than they thought it would be. Teleporters are exceedingly rare, and so defenses against such things are still rudimentary.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzhPvxp5FJ
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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxWegnzkBb
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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl23HITccx
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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34XgDN9s5U
Sensing him, All For One spoke first.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42RnxlfA5S
All For One: “It would seem I underestimated you. I assumed this would be a place you three couldn’t reach.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxqb0fhqPp
Azrael: “Theo made a way. But I only have around seven minutes.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4V6uuZbh1
All For One: “Plenty of time to make an escape. But I hope that is not what you plan.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VPPkrJHp0
Azrael: “No, it would be too risky and draw too many eyes.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl4S4AHcSj
All For One: “Good. Tomura has grown well.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGmveXcJYD
Azrael: “Indeed. He didn’t even want me coming, but I… insisted.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCZmm42KKn
All For One: “Unexpected, I must say. I assumed Apotheosis would be the one to be the most emotional. But it was you.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8pDYcmx8S
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.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHGuVnmJBx
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.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejQ5u4B3FI
Azrael: “… What?”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOLs2ePol6
All For One: “Not publicly, of course. The Public Safety Commission still wants a clean image. No, I will simply die from my injuries.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlTz1H7NOk
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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpoiXs27I6
Azrael: “Sensei, I-”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpr6fIrJJK
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.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcJgJROEqa
Azrael: “… Yes, sensei.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFSqk2Z2Fz
All For One: “Good. Let’s not waste time on such things. Did the other two leave a message? I assume they did.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2iYEBL6Mz
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.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq0JqOrdxV
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.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGECjwqBkaT
Azrael: “Sensei… ”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggB7S193zy
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.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rDSqfB2Zv
Azrael: “What? But how can I without drawing attention? I might as well free you.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQMWPgJyCs
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.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VfsxIIBL6
Azrael: “Of course. Tell me their names and locations.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WjvkhE63I
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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34YAPkvKFu
Turning away, the angel takes a breath and opens a portal. But not before saying words that leave even All For One stunned.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsqPmrvDmT
Azrael: “Goodbye, Father.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFl91cb4MN
And with that, he was gone to recruit All For One’s last gift. For said man, he recovered quickly and smiled.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGaiGhOjuH
All For One: “Father… huh… ”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPChHou5gY
His mind flashes back to when the three of them gifted him the helmet.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevS46pNDge
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWxXwiPBmb
All For One: “What is this?”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtprNyAh9fJ
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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKUUv5hFo5
Theo: “It’s a special helmet we made.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX3Hln7mb9
Tomura: “I thought of it.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtWNwHWTXj
Azrael: “I designed it.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cAbm9imSj
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.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaEBkbpOe7
Azrael: “So don’t overdo it.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaqdjbwfCW
All For One: “I should be the one giving you three gifts.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mYP5NLfnt
An unknown feeling begins to swell within his chest as he looks into the mask. The result were words he rarely spoke to anyone.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU57cgZ96Xq
All For One: “Thank you.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8dUpT57q1
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.
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2Wx8fEIaM
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARxr8SY09Z
All For One: “I see now.”
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhjTLGaaMF
He cared for them.
