Thorne: "My child...To give her the life she deserves, it is not enough to cure the body, but to allow an utter rebirth from the soul. The production of these demons, for the sake of creating her new body, is an unfortunate but necessary byproduct."

shiemi: how do you know this will actually help her?

shiemi: you didnt even think about what she wanted, did you?

Thorne: "...No..."

shiemi:....

Thorne: "...I had tried to resurrect her...I want her to live..."

shiemi: ...i can understand you want that for her, but for her to live like this?...

Thorne: "...I can't just let her die..."

shiemi: ...flowers are beautiful, but they dont live forever, and eventually, they wilt away. but they do leave behind seeds, and the cycle begins again. even if it's cruel, there's still hope for something beautiful to be born again.

is this an AO3 tag thing

tagged by @aja154ever...!! thank you for the tag aja~

calling my lowkey writer status out though LOL SWEATS

1. How did you come up with your username and what does it mean?

sachiyoumi

THIS IS SUCH AN EMBARRASSING REASON BUT

my original writing alias when i was still writing was kimura yumi, named after my dragon nest character after looking up japanese names and their meanings (look 12y/o shao was a huge japanophile shh) before realising there was a real person named kimura youmi (the singer of itsumo nando demo)

and afterwards i took this online test thing that would tell you your name in japanese and i got inoue sachiyo

and then i decided to mash both together and got sachiyoumi / sachiyo yumi and it just stuck ever since LOL

i wish i had the creativity for a cooler alias though, now thinking back o)-(

plus it coincides with my real name initials ssssso yeah. its hella cool.

2. Which fanfic of yours has the most feedback? (bookmarks/subscriptions/hits/kudos)

transience

it’s like, my only fic on AO3 HAHAHAHAHA

there used to be an OnS fic up there but i decided to take it down until i have time to get back to it and revise it and post it when it’s more complete, perhaps

(will i ever finish it though)

3. What is your AO3 profile icon, and why did you choose it?

idk it looks p aesthetic LOL i kinda like how i drew akira here//

(please see this post for reference)

4. Do you have any regular/favourite commenters?

i only have one fanfic that i’ve written after a number of years of not writing / completing a fic soー s w e a t s,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

favourite-wise i love all comments...! it means so much to me that people would go out of their way to enter their name if they’re anonymous, and write a comment about the fic q_q thank you.... even though my writing is really just subpar uuu

5. Is there a fanfic that you keep going back to read again and again?

Fox Chimes by Kuranoa / @kurapls

i love reincarnation and youkai tropes so this just perfectly hits the nail on the head KURA I LOVE YOU THANK YOU FOR WRITING THIS FIC BUT MY HEART,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, cries pools of blood

Three Fundamental Truths by @likeshining

STAR SAN MY FKING HEART SHAKES FIST

6. How many stories are you subscribed to? How many do you have bookmarked?

9 subscriptions, 52 bookmarks www

7. Which AU do you find yourself writing the most?

i’ve only ever written one fic, so....... if anything, it’s canon-divergence LOL

8. How many people are subscribed and bookmarked to you in total? (you can view this on the stats page)

2 subs, 18 bookmarks (there’s people that are actually subbed to me wh a t)

9. Is there something you’d like to write about but are afraid of people judging you for it? (Feeling brave? If so, share it!)

probably sensitive things, but i think i’d still write it (or draw it out, at least)

as far as i know i don’t think i have anything i’m paaaarticularly afraid of, but if there is now, or in the future, then i think i wouldn’t post it publicly ww

10. Is there anything you would like to be better at? Writing certain scenes or genres, replying to comments, updating better, etc.

everything

11. Do you write rarepairs or popular ships more often?

i don’t have a good basis for judgement, but based on really old fics, i think i’ve been writing popular ships more often...!!

12. How many stories have you posted on AO3 to this day (finished and unfinished)?

one finished LOL

13. How many stories do you have saved in/with your writing program?

about 3 or 4?

14. Do you write down story ideas, or just keep them in your head?

i tend to write on paper if the idea just hits me, and transfer to a google doc afterwards! ///

15. Have you ever co-authored a story?

nope. im too noob lol + i hardly write orz

16. How did you discover AO3?

i used to read on fanfiction.net! afterwards there were some writers i followed that mentioned that they were moving to AO3 and i just found out about it afterwards. though i ended up largely lurking because i didn’t have the confidence to write anything decent.

17. Do you consider yourself to be a popular or famous author in your fandom(s) on AO3?

what

18. Do you have a nickname or fandom name for your readers?

i only have one fanfic what are you talking about

19. Was there an author who inspired or encouraged you to write?

hi star san

20. What writing advice would you give to a beginning author?

if the idea comes to you, just yolo and go for it LOL don’t let your dreams be dreams

21. Do you plot out your stories, or do you just figure it out as you go?

in the past when i was still writing i tend to figure things out as i go, though that was because i was writing multichapter stories. but this resulted in me being confused over my own plot and i was hesitant to continue writing anymore, along with RL stress and stuff so i eventually dropped writing altogether. though that was... 4-5 years ago?

now i barely write still, but i lean towards monster oneshots now so i tend to plot out and find references for better clarity ^^ though finishing them and posting them is another story altogether LOL

22. Have you ever gotten a bad comment on a story? If so, what did you do?

not really,,,? but i’ve only ever written one (complete) story to date, and the comments on it have been rather heartwarming (i’m glad it was to your liking...!)

23. Is there a certain type of scene that you have a hard time writing? (action, smut, etc..)

i haven’t ventured deep into writing yet, but i think i’m really bad with flashbacks www

24. What story(s) are you working on now?

chuuya goes through traumatic shit

courtesan!AU

unfinished fics wise that i’m not sure if i will ever touch and continue include something about granblue’s percival and lancelot

25. Do you plan your next project(s) before you finish your current ongoing story(s)?

i... i guess LOL I REALLY JUST WHACK AND YOLO

26. Do you have a daily writing goal set for yourself?

i’m more of an artist so i usually write when i have time to spare ; v ;

27. Do you think you’ve improved as a writer since you first started?

definitely...!

28. What is your favorite story that you’ve written?

transience

it’s my first (finished) fic after a long while

29. What is your least favorite story that you’ve written?

transience (GUYS I ONLY HAVE ONE FIC)

i really dislike how i wrote the opening paragraphs as compared to the rest of the fic to be very honest;; i think i could have written it better....! i’ll work hard and improve if i ever continue writing things

30. Where do you see yourself (as a writer) in 5 years?

writing only to fuel the angst in my art

31. What is the easiest thing about writing?

definitely the ending. THE ENDING.

ITS THAT FEELING OF LIBERATION AFTER xxx AMOUNT OF WORDS OF SUFFERING wheezes

32. What is the hardest thing about writing?

everything else aside from the ending the torture sucks im jk im sorry

33. Why do you write?

honestly there’s some things that i find it difficult to portray through my own art, and i lack the stamina to draw comics proper so i turn to writing...! it’s a really fascinating form of contribution to a fandom to be honest x.x)a most of my time has been spent making art so writing feels like a really exotic kind of art to me ;v;

also i think it’s also a way to keep my english intact HAHA

i tag @adargo, @nugget-writes, @memosfromchuuya, @catsbythegreat, and.... i think all the other writers i know have done this already ww,,

#this is so long wwwwww #thank you for the tag <3 #aja154ever #long post

My ability to do replies seemingly fell off the face of the planet. My bad lol...

Wait what the end?? BUT SUPPOSEDLY HAPPY ENDING FOR THEM YAY

Yeah, it was supposed to be short and then ended up turning into a two week endeavor? Oops. But I think it was a relatively happy ending for their parallel universe selves.

@thesimperiuscurse replied to your post “Current Plans”

I kinda want to block because I'm a lightweight but I LOVE YOUR STUFF SO I WILL NOT

Aw, my sweet pea. You’re too good to me.

@charmedsims replied to your photoset “Ep. 24 “Honestly?” He said, his gaze searching the sky...”

THE END?!?! What!

Haha ahh sorry Q_Q I got carried away, this was supposed to be a side project! It had to end!

@josiesimblr replied to your post “Current Plans”

I'm excited...dark is not my genre at all, but you're such a phenomenal writer, I'm going to venture into it! Waiting with anticipation !

Aww thank you so much ♥ That’s such a flattering compliment. I hope you will find some part of it that you enjoy, if you do read =)

I was tagged by @the-alexandrian-alchemist! Thank you ^__^

Rules: Answer the questions on a new post and then tag some peeps you want to get to know better.

Nickname: Randy— my birth name is Miranda and that’s how most people know me irl, actually, but I’m Randy on the internet because it’s more gender-neutral. I’d prefer people see me as a masc person regardless of what name they call me, and I think that’s easier with Randy, but because I was Miranda for so long I’m still pretty attached to it & I let irl people stick with it for that reason.

Star Sign: Libra!

Height: 5′3″/160cm, I am smol Q_Q

Time Right Now: 5:07pm, I have a meeting I should be at rn but I’m not oops

Last Thing Googled: “movie with richard gere as a farmhand”, in an effort to answer one of the questions below this one.

Favorite Music Artist: aw jeez, probably Janelle Monae. But like, there are a lot, I mean I also love Esperanza Spalding, and I was a massive massive massive Nicki Minaj stan in high school and still love her too.

Song Stuck in Your Head: I have been belting out “circle of life” from the lion king for the past hour, it’s a good thing my ceiling is concrete.

Last Movie You Watched: Days of Heaven! Although apparently, if you google “movie with richard gere as a farmhand” three different things come up and days of heaven isn’t even the first result, so I guess that man has played a lot of farmhands. It was alright, lotta christian symbolism.

Last TV Show Watched: Yuuri on Ice, my latest obsession heh. A non-tumblr friend, @this-amaranthine-heart and I marathoned the first 7 episodes two nights ago (for the first, second, and third times, respectively), and then said irl friend and I watched through episode 10 last night. the plot twist blew her mind, it was great to watch.

What Are You Wearing?: a shirt... and underwear..? why would I wear pants in my own apartment I’m not a heathen.

When Did You Create Your Blog: about 6 weeks ago!

What Kind of Stuff Do You Post: honestly, mostly shitposts. also a decent amount of star trek stuff, I’m ostensibly a star trek blog but actually kind of a mess tbh.

Do You Have Any Other Blogs: yup! I have an anime blog (sorry mom), the link is in my blog description. it’s nothing sordid, I just keep it separate bc I assume the people who follow me for star trek don’t wanna be spammed with yuuri on ice.

Gender: I’m male-leaning genderfluid. I refer to myself as any of the following: genderfluid, masc-of-center, nonbinary boy/man, nonbinary person, transmasculine, genderfluid transmasc, former girl (the born this way narrative ain’t me). I’m actually pretty feminine-presenting though, ideally I would read as femme man, but alas, I mostly just read as androgynous lady/nonbinary. going on T would probably help but I’m cautious about losing my soprano voice, and also my hair (=_=)

Hogwarts House: Gryffindor! I don’t bring it up a lot though, people online are so anti-gryffindor lol

Pokemon Team: I don’t play this game T__T they’re all hot

MBTI: ENTJ/ENFJ

Moral Alignment: probably chaotic good?

Favorite Color: err... if we’re judging by what I wear most often, black.

Average Hours of Sleep: 8-9

Lucky Number: ????

Favorite Character(s): depends on what you’re asking about! I don’t generally have characters that I love outside of the shows/books they’re from, if that makes sense... idk, I finished Legend of Korra a few weeks ago and I had like, a very deep spiritual connection to Bo Lin lol, like I too love everyone and want everyone to love me and cry a lot and don’t know what’s going on half the time

How Many Blankets Do You Sleep Under?: 0, sometimes a sheet. My bed is lofted and it’s right under the heating pipes in my apartment so it’s always super toasty (and hot as hell in the summer), my friends and I jokingly refer to it as “the lizard tank”

Dream Job: ??? something something bioengineering? Mostly I want to use synthetic biology/molecular bioengineering to help people, so whatever path ends up being the best for that— could be academic, could be industry, could be government research, it’s a pretty new field so there’s a lot going on.

Following: 78!

Tagging: jeez most of my mutuals are irl friends so I already know you pretty well... I guess @fempai, @shinelikeastarlight, @shitpostingperidot, @parar-mirar-escuchar, @this-amaranthine-heart! y’all don’t talk about yourselves that much, here’s your chance :D

DEATH CITY DAYS 123

[[cont from part 122]]

*somewhere, in a vacant field, is a mud pile...that starts bubbling up*

*a straw pops up through the mud, sucking in air...*

*then a...bear's head pops up*

mimeca: *pokes head out*

ManBearFix: "WEE! We're free!" ^w^ *shifts--then grimaces* "I'm stuck...This sun-baked mud is as hard as rock..."

*it sounds like something clip-clopping up to them...*

mimeca: *yanks him out*

ManBearFix: *gasps* "Ah...My new lungs just ain't what they used to be--" *looks up*

Dr. Sasaki: *riding a horse, staring at the two of them*

mimeca: OwO;;;;;;

ManBearFix: "..." *gulps* "What's up, Doc?"

Dr. Sasaki: "..." *tosses two bundles of rope to Mimeca*

mimeca: ??

Dr. Sasaki: "Tie yourselves up."

ManBearFix: "..." *looks at the ropes* "Look, I'm all for some fun, but how are we to tie ourselves up? If I tie her up, she can't tie me up, and if she ties me up--"

Dr. Sasaki: *aims four guns at ManBearFix*

ManBearFix: OwO; "But I've been eager to learn!"

-elsewhere-

Danro: "Try the scones--Madoka's new recipe."

honda: delicious as always! haha! now, onto business...i take it you've heard the recent news?

Danro: "There's been so much of it as to lose track. Shall we begin with that Asakusa business, or Arg?"

honda: both quite shocking but i was thinking of the events in the nether...

Danro: "..." *sets down his tea* "How did they know where to corner us?"

honda: i cant say for certain, but i suspect there may be a splinter cell within the fire force...

Danro: "That's a surprising accusation. Any evidence?"

honda: sadly, no. perhaps im just rambling...

Danro: "It's definitely a conspiracy theory--literally, a theory about a conspiracy...We already know of the reports about the founding of the Church of the Sun, and there was work some with Haijima have done with enemies against the state."

honda: hmm...and with arg's assassination....

Danro: *nods* "Arg was losing his mind from whatever happened to him in that fire. But even he wasn't talented enough to kill himself like that, or that unlucky to do it by accident. And given how good a fighter he was...whoever killed him wants us to know their power."

-elsewhere-

"Zack": *brushing his teeth* *muffled* "Mornin'."

hachi: haaa~ that shower is AWFUL! =w=

Random Sheep: "Your face betrays you."

riko: how goes storing everything?

"Zack": *brushing his teeth* *muffled* "Mornin'."

hachi: haaa~ that shower is AWFUL! =w=

Random Sheep: "Your face betrays you."

riko: how goes storing everything?

"Zack": *spits into the sink* "It's not fun. The storehouses are dusty, and I think I saw a possum."

riko: *sigh* we're going to need to do a lot of maintenance...

Random Sheep: "Well, I got the water heater to work, so now I can try fiddling with the circuit breakers..."

-elsewhere-

*in the woods, along a muddy path, a horse is tied to a post outside a cabin*

ManBearFix: *tied to a chair* "H-Hey! I thought we were going back to prison!"

Dr. Sasaki: *humming while she sets a plate of food in front of Mimeca at a table*

mimeca: *looks around*

*there are photos hanging on the walls, degrees, a bookshelf...stairs look to go upstairs and into the cellar*

Dr. Sasaki: *sets a plate of grits in front of ManBearFix*

ManBearFix: -n- "They look mushy..."

Dr. Sasaki: "Do you know why I didn't return you two to prison?"

mimeca: *shakes head*

ManBearFix: "...Aw, fuck, I read 'Misery.' You're going to dissect us and kill us!"

Dr. Sasaki: "One cannot dissect _then_ kill someone. Dissection suggests the specimen is already dead. You're thinking of _vivi_section. And no, I am not going to kill you." *looks at Mimeca*

mimeca: *head tilt*

Dr. Sasaki: "I realized I could not have the prison reviewing every bit of my work and how far I must go in order to diagnose your conditions--and your abilities..." *shovels a spoon of grits, bringing them to Mimeca's mouth* "Who's ready for the relief plane to bring its food rations to the hungry villagers? VROOM." *brings the spoon to Mimeca's mouth*

mimeca: >n<# *takes the spoon and eats, pouting*

ManBearFix: "Well, that's all kinds of fun, but I'm bored now." *vibrates, fraying the ropes as he rips them off, wipes the dust off his shirt's shoulders, and stands* "Thank you for this lovely meal, but we're leaving." *picks up Mimeca's chair* "Let's go, girl." *walks to the door--*

Dr. Sasaki: *sighs, presses a button on her remote*

*multiple red scope laser beams point at ManBearFix and Mimeca*

mimeca: OxO;;;;;;

ManBearFix: OnO;

Dr. Sasaki: "Sit. Down. And eat."

ManBearFix: >n>; "Mimeca? I'm kind of missing prison..."

-elsewhere-

Mandy: *reading a file* " 'Mitsy Gainor. Sign: Zodiac. Hobbies: Dancing--"

Yoh: "Pole dancing, amirite?"

katy: *elbows him*

Yoh: "Oh!"

Dr. Summer: *dope slap*

Yoh: >n<#

Mandy: "Chief, I think if we follow Miss Gainor, we'll be able to find the kids!"

katy: sounds good. do we know where she lives?

Dr. Summer: "I had to drop her off once--an apartment complex on South Pacific Avenue."

-elsewhere-

employee 2: yus ma'am!

Kepuri: "Hmm..." *holds an ear up to a wristband* "That hum is worrisome--it's wasting power. That's an aluminum wire--switch to copper and check the weight distribution."

employee 2: huh, hadnt thought 'bout that. thanks.

Yohei: "??? Hei, is that a new flux capacitor?" *moves a hand up to the device--*

-across the street-

Summer: "What's she doing in there?"

mandy: awww puppy!

katy:...cats are way better.

Yoh: "??? From that psychological profile thingie you wrote up, I didn't think she'd be so...giddy around her puppy."

katy: they're rough estimates...

Summer: "I've worked with her for a year, and I didn't even think she'd do something like this..." *clenches her fists, shaking with fury*

katy: doc?

Summer: "I want to bring her down, and the rest of these child kidnappers."

katy: we will.

Yoh: "Wait--she's doing something..."

katy: *looks*

Mitsy: *has set her doggie on the table with a doggie dish with food in it...she seems to be on the phone...*

katy: *listening in*

Mitsy: "Uh huh...Right, 11 o'clock. I'll be there. What? What?! No, I'm not buying those brats more food! Fuck 'em--they can starve! No, I--wait, hang on--" *to her doggie* "D'aw, aren't you hungry, sweetie?" *scratches behind the dog's ear*

overhaul: really....no hiccups to speak of?

Pumpkin: "I'll be honest with you--I had assigned someone to kidnap a parent to see the effects on an adult, but she fouled that up."

Summer: "What is this thing supposed to be?" *pulls the vial out of her pocket* "It had a syringe with it--likely a doping mechanism for, I assume, his Quirk?"

katy: hinoki, you feeling alright?

Yoh: "Fine, I guess? I don't have a Quirk, so it wouldn't have affected me..."

Operator: "..." *reaching into his jacket...*

mandy: *stomps on his hand*

Operator: "GAH!" *drops another vial*

Pumpkin: *measuring out a substance in a syringe* "I have to thank you for this new supply...It's been quite instructive."

Pumpkin: "I've been quite fascinated with all your Quirks can accomplish...Nothing like what I've seen where I'm from."

overhaul: oh?

Pumpkin: "...Oh, didn't I mention? Yeah, I'm not from here."

overhaul: yeah, you do have kind of an accent. you from Britain or something?

Pumpkin: "...Think further. Much further."

overhaul: laos?

Pumpkin: "Another world..."

overhaul: you're bullshitting me.

Pumpkin: "I assure you, this is not some rubbish. I am what you might call an out-realmer, from outside of this realm."

overhaul: prove it.

Pumpkin: "...A talking pumpkin isn't enough proof? What, do you have herds of jack o'lantern scarecrows, grazing on the wide open fields of the Great Plains?"

overhaul: ...there's been weirder, honestly.

Pumpkin: "Well, I would open a portal to show you another dimension, but that'd sap much power...I already know your world has magic, so..." *twirls some magical dust in the air* "...this probably doesn't impress you either, huh?"

-clunk-

overhaul: ??

Pumpkin: "??? One of your enforcers?"

overhaul: *takes out his pistol*

*the door opens, showing...Guard 1, standing in sunglasses*

Pumpkin: "Well? What's going on?"

Guard 1: "..." *unconscious, gets kicked into the room, towards Overhaul*

overhaul: ?!?! *aims his gun*

Yoh: *battle roar, as he pushes Guard 1 into the room like a human shield*

*a sand trail follows Yoh...*

Xavier: *growls* "Come on--don't wimp out on this. It's all or nothing!"

girl: so what's the plan?

Timmy: "I-I guess we need to get out of the cell first? Can anyone teleport?"

boy: i can make my hair move on its own.

Xavier: "Brilliant! You ever steal keys out of someone's pocket?"

-elsewhere-

Jonas: *'pacing' in the men's restroom*

zeke: he's not coming out from there...

Axel: "Well, I already did my business, so I'm out of ideas..." *looking around the hall, seeing the 'Manager's VIP Lounge'* "..." *a hallway light flickers over his head* "Wait...I'm getting an idea..."

zeke: ??

Axel: "Jonas has unfinished business, right?"

zeke: i guess?

Axel: "And we can't find his family anywhere, because he's kind of a dick, right?"

zeke: well-

Axel: "But this manager guy went to school with him, so he may know how he got offed. We find out who really killed Jonas, and bam, Jonas's soul does...whatever happens when souls pass on!"

zeke: hmm.

Axel: "Come on--what have we got to lose?" *knocks on the VIP door*

hibiki:....you still mad?

Asher: "...Yeah, I'm still pretty mad. Who asked you..."

hibiki: are you mad because i told spirit?

Asher: "...Yeah. I didn't ask you to get involved. I didn't ask any of you to butt in. You don't know what could have happened."

hibiki: would you want to stay in that situation?

Asher: "No, but I didn't want to drag someone else into that mess."

hibiki: then what were you planning to do then, huh?

Asher: "We had a plan--Cassidy was going to get enough money for us to move out."

hibiki: how long would that have taken?

Asher: "...I don't know--I left it to Cassidy to figure out the costs..."

hibiki: .....

Asher: "...What if that crazy bitch did something to Izumi? You think I'd want that on my conscience, too?"

hibiki: well she didnt...

Asher: "She could've--we're not all some powerhouses like your family."

hibiki: being a powerhouse has nothing to do with doing the right thing....look, you cant keep carrying this burden on your own or you'll just get crushed by it. i've seen it happen...

Asher: "...I thought weapons are designed just to carry the burden for their meister."

hibiki: being a weapon doesnt mean you're a slave.

Asher: "..." *holds their head* "I don't know what a weapon is for...I was just born like this, and when I found my ability..."

hibiki: would you like to speak with a councilor?

Asher: "...Might as well."

hibiki: it's a start....you dont have to go through this alone.

Asher: "...If I ended up getting Izumi hurt, or you, or another classmate, that's not something I want on my head. Those black blood whatever walker things..."

summer: your sister, huh?

Yoh: *nods* "She's definitely not at my power level, but she helped knock down a space station. And the Fear Factory."

summer: wait then....that girl, mana hinoki is your sister?

summer: give it up before you get squashed.

Pumpkin: "Hmm..." *keeping some distance, walking around her* "Hmm, a terramancer? I didn't think they had you here."

summer: *keeping an eye on him*

Pumpkin: "They keep calling you 'doctor.' Why does someone created to heal engage in such violence? Anger problems, perhaps?"

summer: i never asked to be born with these abilities, but regardless, im just trying to do the right thing.

Pumpkin: "Is that why you keep letting dumb mistakes happen?" *sneers* "You couldn't even protect a child."

summer: *shaking*

Pumpkin: *chuckles* "That's what makes this world so fun, you know? Getting to see those brats get what they deserve..."

summer: shut up...

Pumpkin: "If you don't stop them before they learn obedience, they are unchecked little urchins, spreading harm. What they need is someone to guide them..." *holds out his good hand* "It's what they need, isn't it?"

summer: *trembling*

Pumpkin: "Come on. Join my team. I could use someone to patch up the young ones."

summer: how about you go to hell?

hibiki: that's....weirdly specific.

genny: im allergic to gluten too, actually.

Kanin: "Ah--then you'd probably avoid Cannabaeae, since it includes hops as well as hemp, marijuana--"

hibiki: wait...

{Jonas: "??? Nah, still don't know any 'Sour Diesel.' I was straight edge in school--that's why I even avoided pain medicine."}

hibiki: 'sour diesel...'

Boots: "Let's see--two brats talking about finding a dead body, which would be Marilyn here..."

marilyn: ?!?!?

Axel: "And what about us?! Why would we report finding a dead body?!"

Boots: *holds up a paper* "You killed her, and left behind a suicide note confessing your crime...All it needs is your writing." *hands it to Zeke*

zeke: NO WAY!

Boots: "I don't think you have much of a choice...Not if you want your classmates to live."

Duncan: *sneezing uncontrollably*

hibiki: axel, zeke!

zeke:.........i just remembered we're kunais. we could have gotten out of this cage easy.

Asher: "???"

izumi: did i tell you how my mom and dad met? well, i kind of met him first. do you remember whe-

Asher: "Wait, what? Robots, meeting your dad first..."

-izumi explains what all happened-

Asher: "...That was fucking dangerous."

izumi: yeah...but im glad it happened....

Asher: "...Okay. I think I get it now."

izumi: if it werent for him, i probably wouldnt have met you...

Asher: >_>; "Yeah...About that..."

izumi: ???

Asher: "...You both have a nasty habit of trying to save people..."

izumi: ????

Asher: "...It really pissed me off a lot. And I don't think I thanked either of you for that."

izumi: asher.....

Asher: "I held a lot of animosity at you and Spirit, and Hibiki...and at myself, because I didn't ask you to get involved. So, I'm sorry for that."

izumi:.....apology accepted.

Asher: "..." *nods* "Just be more careful, Mother Theresa--a weapon's supposed to pull some of their weight around in this partnership."

lei-lei: hey guys~! *waving to them*

Asher: "Um...Hey?"

Axel: *rambling to nearby students--* "And then we were like, 'Oh, no, we're gonna die!'"

Asher: "Hey...So, what happened to the ghost?"

kathleen: i see....i dont know her as well as charles did, but i do know that she was rather scholary.

Anya: "I see...Did she write or teach or...?"

kathleen: her biggest passion was giving the people of yngling good education, and she was especially fond of mathmatics.

Anya: *wrings her hands* "How did she pass?"

kathleen: she was very ill. apperantly, she had always had poor health and often stayed indoors as a result. eventually, she lost all her strength and just withered away.....

Anya: "Oh...I can't imagine how Father must have felt."

kathleen: .....honestly, i feel a bit jealous of her sometimes. i know, it's petty of me...

Anya: *swallows* "O-Oh? S-Sorry, I didn't mean to..."

nygus: sir, are you really going to ignore the elephant in the room? -_-;

Lord Death: "Oh? We have one of those as a student now?"

nygus: SIR.

Lord Death: "Hmm? Oh--yes. Well, given the presence of Kishinites, we likely have an increase in the Madness Wavelength, thereby affecting individuals more keenly attuned to it, whether shinigami, powerful meisters, or those who were in contact with the Black Blood. And we may be able to use the heightened sensitivity of those individuals--"

izumi: c-come one, guys, let's not fight!

Asher: "No, let them fight--this gets us back to normal."

Saria: "..." *covers her mouth, starts laughing*

lukas: saria?

Saria: "S-Sorry! Asher was right--I just needed a laugh..." TwT;

hibiki:...well, let's get started, ok?

lei-lei: yeah!

Saria: "O-Okay..." *sets out cookbooks* "Let's narrow down some options..."

*grumbling is heard behind them*

lei-lei: ??

Monica: "Can you freaking believe him?! I don't need any security!"

hibiki: security?

Monica: "WAS ANYONE TALKIN' TO YA?! Oh, hey, Albarn."

izumi: what's this about security, monica?

Monica: "Freakin' Lorenzo said they are assigning security to escort students home! Can you believe that shit?!"

*a short orange-hair person is carrying a tray of food*

hibiki: well, i guess it makes sense, given last night...

Monica: "Oh, come on! That was one isolated incident!"

Youta: "E-Excuse me? Is this seat taken?"

shinra: everything ok in there?

Akitaru: "Yeah, just having wardrobe problems. I think I went up a jacket size again--stupid big muscles."

Akitaru: "Could you? I'm already loaded with paperwork this week."

DEATH CITY DAYS CHAPTER 111

Momo: *looking over the menu* "Hmm...Excellent options."

ochako: ooh this one looks nice!

Izuku: *staring at the menu* "They have superhero-themed desserts! Look at the one for Gang Orca! It's made with Oreos..."

???: *setting down drinks* "Ladies~ Enjoy."

jirou: thanks kamina- k-k-KAMINARI?!?!

Kaminari: "What up? You all visiting I-Island too?"

ochako: yep! woah, snazzy uniform!

Mineta: "Why, thank you, Ochako." *eyebrow wiggle*

ochako: *disgusted look* i was not talking to you, mineta.

melissa: oh, are they friends of yours?

Mineta: -^- "Can't blame a guy for trying..."

Izuku: ^^; "Classmates."

jirou: classmates, though in mineta's case, who cares.

Mineta: DX< *then he looks at Melissa* "... ... ...Hi."

Kaminari: "I'm Kaminari. You from around here?"

melissa: oh, hello there. *smiles* yeah.

jirou: melissa, please, dont talk to mineta, it's not worth it.

melissa: huh?

jirou: trust us on this.

melissa: im sure he's not that bad-

jirou + ochako: YES HE IS.

Mineta: >x< "You're just jealous for when I show what I'm really made out of!"

Momo: -_-; "He's made out of water, grapes, and perversion. We've tried everything to correct him. The only solution is blunt force." *pulls out a mallet*

melissa:....*looks at izuku* is this normal?

Mineta: Q_Q *hides behind Kaminari*

Izuku: *small shrug* "This is kind of a better day: Mineta hasn't tried peeking up anyone's skirt."

melissa: o_o;;;

Kaminari + Mineta: "...Midoriya..." *grab him, pulling him over to another table*

Izuku: O_o "H-Hey! Hey!"

Kaminari: *slams Izuku down in a chair* "Okay, dude, I appreciate the hustle--BUT ARE YOU CHEATING ON TSU?!"

Izuku: "Wh-What?! Why does everyone--"

Mineta: *slaps Izuku with a grape* "DON'T YOU DARE BREAK HER HEART, YOU BASTARD! Even if the hustle is appreciated..."

Izuku: Q_Q;

melissa: i dont even know who this 'tsu' is. ._.;;;

Momo: ^^; "Izuku's girlfriend. She's great. In fact, she's touring the island as well."

*BOOM BOOM BOOM from the tournament stage*

ochako: what was that?

*a nearby TV in the restaurant seems to be showing some opponents going at it*

???: *on the TV* "I'LL KILL YOU DEAD!"

jirou: ho. ly. fuck. is that...?

Kaminari: *shaking Izuku--then pauses* "..." *looks at the TV* "...Oh boy."

ochako: classic bakugou.

Izuku: @~@ "Kacchan?"

Opponent: *running from Bakugo* "THEY SAID NO KILLING!" *dodges, summoning vines--that get burned away* "AAAAAH!"

Bakugo: "GET BACK HERE, YOU TREE-HUGGER! I'M SENDING YOU BACK TO FERNGULLY!"

amplifier: wow, kacchan is certainly getting into the spirit of battle.

Shotaro: "HEE HEE HEE! The plant person just peed themselves!"

Emine: "I said he was a typical villain." *looks at Mana* "Which flowers do you want at your funeral?"

mana: get bent.

Emine: *tilts his head--in a painful looking position* "..."

Opponent: *slapping their hand on the floor* "Uncle--UNCLE!"

mana: .................................forget i said anything then.

jirou: come on, we better stop him before he gets arrested or something.

Shotaro: "Oh! That looks painful...Time for a good deed!" *steals a medic's first-aid kit* "Let me re-attach that limb, plant person!"

Izuku: "Y-Yeah..."

-and so-

kirishima: hey guys!

Bakugo: *flexing, screaming into the camera while holding a microphone like a pro-wrestler* "--AND THE SEATS WERE TOO CRAMP! WHAT IS UP WITH THAT KIND OF SERVICE ON AN AIRLINE?!!!"

Izuku: "Hey! How was the trip?"

kirishima: super awesome!

tsuyu: oh, hey izuku. ^^

Izuku: "Tsu!" *runs over, hug*

tsuyu: !! hello to you too. *hugs*

Momo: "Aw..." *looks at the damage* -_-# "Bakugo..."

Bakugo: "HANG ON A MINUTE! I'M TELLING THE MASSES--...What the hell is HE DOING HERE?!!!"

Izuku: ._.;;;;

melissa: HESMYCOUSIN!

Izuku: "?!!!"

melissa: sorry, i panicked.

Bakugo: "?!!! Since when does he have--"

kirishima: oh cool!

ochako: oh boy.

jirou: *facepalm*

Bakugo: "WHATEVER! YOU'RE JUST HERE TRYING TO BEAT MY RECORD IN THIS TOURNAMENT!"

Izuku: "N-No! Melissa invited me and All Might! I have no interest showing you up in an exhibition!"

*ice starts forming on the stage behind them*

Bakugo: "NOT THAT YOU EVER COULD! NO ONE COULD MOP THE FLOOR WITH AN OPPONENT HERE FASTER THAN--"

amplifier: ASTOUNDING! A RECORD BREAKING FINISH!

Bakugo: .______. "..." *turns slowly*

Todoroki: *standing on the platform, stoic* "..."

ochako: oh!

Bakugo: "... ... ..." *small pitiful crackling on his fingertips...*

ochako: todoroki! hi! *waves*

Todoroki: "! ..." *slides down to them* "...Hi."

Bakugo: >_<# "You little sh--"

melissa: another friend of yours?

Izuku: *nods* "Our classmate, Todoroki. He came in second in the Sports Festival."

Todoroki: "Midoriya..." *looks at Melissa* "...I didn't know you had a cousin."

melissa: yeaaaah.. <w<;;;; (OH CRAP IN IN TOO DEEP! AHHHHHHHHHHHIHEKHBKDK>JVN<)

Todoroki: "..." *pulls Izuku aside* "So, All Might is your f--"

Izuku: -_-# "Stop."

melissa: eh?

Todoroki: "...Well, that match was a good practice. I guess I am again facing Bakugo--"

Bakugo: "YOU BETTER COME AT ME WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE, OR I'LL RIP OFF YOUR LIMBS!"

melissa: .__________________.;;;;;; is _this_ normal?

ochako: and this is him on a _good_ day.

melissa:.....................................if i actually went to UA, i'd probably die.

jirou: at this point, i doubt anything can shock us.

Momo: "Oh, it's really not that bad! I mean, aside from the villain attack...and the other villain attack...and those Infernals that one time...and the terrorist hostage situation last summer...and--"

Shotaro: "Mana, stop! He said he was sorry!"

ochako: ???

Emine: *Mana is on his shoulders, punching his head* -_-#

mana: I DARE YOU TO SAY THAT AGAIN! COME ON! DO IT COWARD! D8<

Todoroki: "Oh. Are those 2 competing?"

jirou:....melissa, what's the i-island legal drinking age?

Shotaro: ^^ "Mana is! Emine and I just snuck into I-Island in luggage!"

melissa: *sigh*

-elsewhere-

robo nurse: scan complete.

Dave: *looking at the read-out on a computer screen behind him* "Hmm..." *the screen shows an outline of All Might's body, with a small glowing mass around his heart* "...All Might, it's reduced in size considerably since the last reading following All for One...Your Quirk is leaving you at an even faster rate."

All Might: "..." *nods* "I was afraid of this..." ("...I can't tell Dave that it's not just because I've weakened: I can't let him know Izuku has the Quirk, or he'd be at risk, too...")

Dave: *sad smile* "I wish there was more I could do. It's not fair--"

All Might: "Not this again." *forces a smile* "I've had to make peace with this. It's just...acceptance."

Dave: "And how will the world accept the Number One Hero, the Symbol of Peace, fading away?"

All Might: "..."

Dave: "You've seen it. The increased crime rates around the world in just the last decade. Infernals. Dokeshi. Rogue witches. Villains. Without you...it's only going to get worse. We can't let this happen."

All Might: "Hey, Dave, calm down. ...It's why I'm a teacher." ^^; "Going to need a new generation to replace us at some point, am I right?"

-elsewhere-

melissa: so that's why i said that.

tsuyu: ah. i see.

ochako: QwQ;;;

tsuyu: but it's fine, i know izuku wouldnt do something like that.

ochako: that reminds me! dont we have that reception tonight?

Izuku: "Oh, right! That'll be fun when--"

Shotaro: "Hey, are you Mr. Midoriya?"

Izuku: "Yes? Wh--"

Shotaro: *BONE OF GORILLA* *muscles up*

Izuku: "?!!"

melissa: oh!

Shotaro: *flings Izuku onto the stage* "You're next in the competition!"

Izuku: "AAAAAAAAaaaaaaah--" *THUD ON THE STAGE*

ochako: wait isnt that-

amplifier: and we have our next match up! izuku 'deku' midoriya vs tenya 'ingenium' iida!

Momo: O\\\\O "Wh-What?!"

Izuku: *picks himself up* "I-Iida! ...Oh! You've taken on your family's name!" ^^ "That's so--"

ochako: oh boy.

*MATCH BEGINS*

Iida: *already rushing at Izuku*

Izuku: "!!!" *leaps--and didn't time his Quirk right* *lets out a yell from injuring his foot*

mina: i cant watch, but i have to!

melissa: !!!!!!!

Hagakure: "Oh, who do I root for...Um...Go both of you! Yay!" *pulls out cheerleader pom-poms*

Iida: *leaps up, twirling his leg* "RECIPRO--"

Izuku: "?!!!" ("How did Gran Torino do it...Oh, right!") *aims--and uses One for All to boost himself back DOWN AT THE STAGE!*

mina: WOAH!

Iida: *swings--misses* "?!" ("What is he doing?! At that speed, he's going to slam face-first into the floor!")

jirou: *covers her eyes, but peeks through her fingers*

Izuku: QwQ ("...Well, I guess I die now, slamming face-first into the floor...THINK THINK THINK--") *light bulb* "!!!" *curls into a ball--and slams hard into the stage, kicking up smoke and dust*

ochako: WOAH!

Kaminari: "?!! Why did he curl up into a ball?! Midoriya! That stuff only works in video games, man!"

melissa: ARE YOU ALRIGHT?

Mineta: "RIP, young hero. ...I call dibs on his notebooks!"

Momo: *smacks him with a fan*

Iida: *lands...approaches cautiously...* ("I'll stay back, wait for the smoke to settle...") *peers into the crater--* "?!!!"

tsuyu: it's not over just yet.

*he's not there*

*something rumbles underneath the stage...*

Iida: "?!!!"

*part of the floor shatters, as it lifts up, knocking over Iida--with Izuku underneath!*

Izuku: ("I'll have to thank Ochako for this reminder, back when we fought Kacchan and Iida when we started...Using the debris as a weapon, improvise until I find an opening and--") *FULL COWL TOSS!*

Iida: "AAAAAAH!" *trying to run--and only ends up running around the debris like he's on a tiny planet until--*

*SLAM*

ochako: WOAH!

*the debris slams Iida into the side of the wall underneath the audience*

Izuku: D8> "Oh no! I didn't mean to toss him that far!"

Momo: "..." *passes out*

jirou: YAOMOMO! are you ok?

mina: *takes the fan and fans momo's face*

Momo: X_____X

Iida: *skids to a stop under the debris...panting...looks down, seeing the grass* "..." *sad smile* ("Brother...I'll do better next time.")

Todoroki: "Impressive...I didn't think Midoriya had improved so much since the Sports Festival."

melissa: .......

Bakugo: "OF COURSE HE'S IMPROVING!" *slams his fist into the palm of his hand* "BECAUSE IT'LL MAKE ME KICKING HIS ASS EVEN BETTER!"

Todoroki: "Ah, true friendship indeed."

Izuku: "!!! Um..." *waves to the crowd with a smile, as he limps off the stage, favoring his non-injured foot*

-a little later-

ochako: you both did great out there, guys!

Izuku: *looking at his ankle* "Slight sprain..."

Iida: *bandaged on his face* "Thank you. Izuku, that was a surprising performance! Well done."

melissa: i think i have some medical spray in my bag.

Izuku: ^^; "I'm still getting myself all wrecked physically from those kinds of stunts, though. All Might and Recovery Girl are going to be upset. And so will Mom. And Mr. Aizawa. And--"

melissa: you get injured a lot, dont you.

Mineta: "Yes, he does. He's a full-on masochist."

Izuku: "N-No, I'm not! I'm just...still getting the hang of my Quirk."

tsuyu: *throws mineta in the trash*

Robot Trash Can: "????!!! HEY. YOU! I DON'T WANT THIS EITHER!"

melissa: hmm....say, why dont you take this. *gives him the gauntlet*

Izuku: "Oh? The polymer? What will it--"

*it springs up*

Izuku: "?!!!"

ochako: WOAH!

Izuku: *it wraps around his ankle* "...Huh. Like a splint? Or bandage?"

Mineta: *pops out of the trash* "No, it's more like--"

Robot Trash Can: *slams the lid down, silencing the trash-person*

melissa: something like that.

Izuku: "Melissa...This thing is so incredible! But this is yours--I don't want to damage your invention."

melissa: i can always make more of them if i need to. it'll take a while, but im sure it'll be fine.

Izuku: *smiles* "I'll put it to the best use and heal faster! It will not go to waste!"

???: what's this i see~?

Izuku: *shudders* O____O "Oh, God All Mighty, no..."

melissa: ??

mei: salutations everyone! fluffy, gravitron, pikachu and- *looks at iida* have we met?

Iida: "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!"

Kaminari: "..." *whispers to Ochako* "I think you're Gravitron. Am I Fluffy?"

ochako: surprised to see you, mei, right?

mei: correct! i came to the technical nirvana known as i-island as a guest of my dear gruncle, swashbuckle!

Izuku: *held upside down by Mei as she's examining the gauntlet on his ankle* "Wait?! You're related to Swashbuckle?!! That's amazing! Like the time in Lake Ontario when he--"

mei: what's this on your ankle? i smell new tech.

Izuku: .w. "It's currently attached to my extremities, so please don't smell. Too close..."

mei: hmmmmm.

melissa: it's one of my inventions. it's a shapeshifting polymer that can use multiple functions such as a scooter, a bracer, all kinds of things.

mei:...............................

Izuku: "... ..." ("...What is that sound?")

mei: *vibrating*

Kaminari: "... ... ..." *whispers to Ochako* "She's not talking. Why is she not talking?"

Izuku: *getting shaken by Mei* O_O;

mei: *vibrating intensifies*

melissa: um....are you alri-

Kaminari: "?!!! Oh, crap, she's going to blow up."

mei: *grabs her hands* MARRY ME!!

Izuku: ._.

melissa: e-e-EH?!?! O////O !!!

Kaminari: "...D'aw!"

Izuku: -n- "Please let me down before you propose."

jirou: um-

Iida: "Hatsume! This is still a school-sponsored trip, and you are representing the Support Class of UA! Calm yourself!"

melissa: i-im a student too! and i still need to focus on my studies before i settle down into a relationship!

mei: that's fair. why dont we exchange numbers to keep in touch? ^w^

Kaminari: *whispers to Ochako* "She's not saying 'no.'"

jirou: *elbows him in the stomach*

Kaminari: OxO

Tanizaki: *wearing noise-cancelling headphones, a sleepmask, curled up in a blanket in his seat* *snoring*

kenji: woooow, everything looks so small from up here!

Tanizaki: *snort-snore* *wakes up* "Huh?" *removes the mask* "Oh. Yeah." ^^; "I should fly you around more--we could see more around the desert."

atsushi: *shaking* Q~Q;;;; *internally screams*

Tanizaki: "??? Atsushi? Are you nervous flying?"

atsushi: just some PTSD related to the moby dick incident.

Tanizaki: "Oh. Must've been bad flying to Germany too, huh?"

atsushi: i dont remember much of the flight there. maybe i passed out on the plane.

Tanizaki: *nods* "I was a little preoccupied..." *glances at the girls singing*

kenji: *singing along, even though he doesnt know the words*

Tanizaki: ^^; "I think I was having to keep an eye on Naomi during the flight. But look how happy she is now."

naomi: hehehe ^^

Tanizaki: "Granted, I am avoiding the theme song like the plague. One time, she left it playing on a loop after bedtime...The nightmares." *vacant dead eye stare* "The nightmares."

atsushi: oh yeah, the opening song does seem pretty intense. isnt it by that one gothic-rock style band?

Tanizaki: *nods* "It's like the devil himself composed it."

maki: the lyrics are about never losing face even in the face of fear and danger, at least that's my interpretation.

naho: i just like the music itself.

naomi: and the opening animation is superb! and there is so much zephro subtext to it! hehehe~

naho + maki: huehuehuehue~

Tanizaki: .____.; *tilts away*

Tarapion: *odd noise mixing a snort and a slight chitter*

chie: 0-0;

Yohei: "I-Island had this initiative decades ago to try to 'fix the world.' But lately it's been preserving things since, you know, saving us from ourselves hasn't been working out well enough..."

chie: truth. kepuri seems to be interested in it enough....

Kepuri: *petting the glass case holding Apamea nakamura, 'The Giant Moth'*

Giant Moth: *happy purring*

akaderu: *asleep*

nea: *bangs on his door* akaderu! you're supposed to mow the lawn!

akaderu: too tired.

nea: YOU CANT SLEEP IN ALL DAY JUST BECAUSE YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS ON VACATION!

Shinoda: *clipping the hedges, wipes his brow*

Assi: "I got the leaf blower! Maybe I should handle the mowing while Akaderu sleeps?"

nea: *sigh* FINE i guess. =n=

Assi: "Yay!" *then he accidentally turns on the leaf blower--and it leaps out of his hands, bouncing down the hallway* OwO;

-elsewhere-

Kunikida: *talking to Aya and Sylvia* "Without Naomi and her brother here, your responsibilities to the maintenance of this Agency have increased."

aya: aye-aye!

sylvia: o-o-ok.

Kunikida: "Begin by distributing assignments." *hands them folders*

Fukuzawa: "I'm sure they will not disappoint."

sylvia: w-w-we-we'll do our best!

Kyoka: *looking at one folder* "Another person missing. And they have a Quirk."

sylvia: *looks*

*seems to be a person with elastic Quirks...*

aya: like the straw hat.

Lucy: "...You mean Kenji?"

aya: i mean i like the straw hat they're wearing here.

Lucy: *looks again* "Oh, I see."

-elsewhere-

melissa: welp, here's the hotel. how's your ankle?

Izuku: "Better--thanks again! I should return the polymer to you--"

melissa: you were holding back...

Izuku: "...Huh?"

melissa: in today's fight. you were holding back the full extent of your quirk, werent you?

Izuku: "..." *looks down at his hands* "My Quirk, um, manifested late. My body isn't ready for all this power..."

melissa: i can tell by the scars....sorry, that might be a bit too personal...but maybe if you use the polymer on your fist, it might help absorb the pressure?

Izuku: "Oh, it might! Um..." *taps his ankle--and the polymer springs up and onto his fist and over his forearm* "...I keep saying it, but this is such an impressive material."

melissa: ^^ thanks. i should probably head home to get changed for the party. you have my number, right?

Izuku: "Right! I better also see All Might. And thanks for the tickets for Kaminari and Mineta!"

melissa: ^^; i guess i felt a bit bad for them.

Izuku: "Oh! But if this polymer is your scooter, how will you get around town?"

melissa: dont worry, i can just call up an i-uber. ^^

Izuku: "Okay...I do feel bad given the costs. I'll make it up to you!"

ochako: and the- oh right! the formal event tonight! momo invited us to go along!

Iida: *limps slightly* "Ah..."

momo: are you alright?

Iida: ^^; "I think the tournament was a little more ambitious than I anticipated."

momo: well, try to take it easy tonight, alright?

Iida: "Yes, well, it is a reception, so it should be relaxing--aside from some insistent mingling with family friends." ^^;

momo: yeeeah. ^^;;;;;

Iida: "Did your parents ask you to speak with anyone at the reception?"

momo: i think frostbyte will be at the event. she was one of mother's classmates in high school.

Iida: "I see. She is popular in her hometown--and the news said she stopped the musical villains Rock and Roll just yesterday."

momo: i heard about that.

Iida: "..." *tenses up* "Then...There's that pirate hero..." *Excalibur face*

momo: oh, swashbuckle?

Iida: *cringing* "Yes...I learned that Support student Hatsume is related..."

Kaminari: *watching on a TV at the restaurant* "...Wait..."

mana: ??

*some of the tiles on the tournament floor shine*

mana: hn?

*tiles pop up into the air--and are coming down at Mana*

Kaminari: "Dude, that fighter's an electric type like me?!"

mana: oh shit! *dodging*

Agate: "I got better since that time I fought that--that--that Amazonian." >~< "That headlock still hurt my neck...But you'll be easy enough! You're not as strong and fast as her!" *shoots an electric blast*

Kaminari: "Yeah! Go for it, electric type!"

mana: WOAH!

Agate: ^^ "That's better. Oh, I should tweet this..." *pulls out the phone*

mana: you're seriously using your phone in a fight?!

Agate: "Got to stay current--HE SAID WHAT?!" *a bunch of tiles fall* "That monster! How dare he! I'm reporting this account!" *more tiles fall, as electricity leaps between Agate's antenna...she’s not looking at Mana*

Agate: "One shock for each crack!" T~T "My poor phone...I'm just lucky it didn't brick before I did this week's gacha deal..."

Yohei: "?! Tool, stop! They'll kill them--"

Cloak: *shoots syringes at Yohei's chest*

Yohei: *falls over...he's not breathing*

chie: !!!!

Cloak: *walks* "We're leaving. Drag the Dokeshi and the human."

chie: *shaking, her eyes going dark*

Hani: "?!!!!" *covers her mouth*

Cloak: *collapses, ripped in two*

Tool: "...Holy shit."

chie: let.....them.....go.....NOW....

Troopers: "!!!" *dragging Shotaro, Mana, and Yohei onto the ship--*

Kepuri: "Get back with them!" *sends WASHU and GET at them--before Troopers tackle her*

Troopers: *screaming as they are stabbed*

(kagemaru: yes, kill em! KILL ALL OF 'EM!)

WASHU and GET: *grab at Mana--only for--*

*CRUSH*

Kepuri: "?!!! WASHU! GET!"

remina: *breathing hard*

???: "Hee hee...Mass automation, Mrs. Nanami."

Agate: "Doc..." *holds her hand*

chie: *looks up*

*as she looks up at the Robot, someone is getting back on his feet behind her, and picks up the laser saber...*

chie: *glances and slices*

Cloak: *grunts...but laughs* "Oh, that hurts...But then again, I've had every last part of me crushed under tremendous weight..." *grabs Chie by the neck, squeezing*

chie: GRK- *she still glares; as if she isnt in control...*

Cloak: "Why would you turn your back on Dokeshi for some human mongrel?"

Tool: *removing the net on Toru, cradling him*

chie: *snarls*

???: *deep inhale...as something sliced is heard...blood drips on the floor...*

remina: !!!!!!!! *faints*

Cloak: "A mere beast, eh? Too bad my boss didn't ask me to bring you..." *aims the laser saber* "I guess your corpse will be enough for experimenta--"

???: "LIGHTNING SCISSORS!"

-SHIV-

Cloak: "???"

chie: *looks back*

*looks down...a bloody mess in the form of blades have sliced through Cloak's chest...the blades pull back, revealing...*

Emine: *clutching his wrist, panting...*

toru: *crying*

chie: !!! *snabs back to reality*

Cloak: *smirks* "Like that's enough to--"

Emine: *grits his teeth* "GUILTY BLADE!" *leaps forward, forming a X with his arms, swings them at Cloak, and--*

*Cloak's head goes flying--into the starship, where Yohei, Mana, and Shotaro are loaded*

Cloak's head: "Enough of this--forget the kappa! Just go!"

Fear Robot Pilot: "ROGER ROGER." *closes the doors...*

chie: YOHEI!!

Emine: "!!! No!" *slices his other wrist, as a four-bladed fan departs* "Fujin!" *the blade sails at the ship and--*

*FWOOSH*

*the starship is gone in the blink of an eye*

Kepuri: *staring...crawls over to the remains of GET and WASHU* "Oh God..."

chie:......*holding her baby, weeping*

Emine: "..." *stares at the headless body of the Cloak...looks down at his wrists...sees the blood pooling under him...collapses, passing out*

prisha: w-what the hell??

Hani: "..." *picking up her communicator* "Security. I-Island Security. Report. Report, goddamn it...REPORT! IS ANYONE OUT THERE?!"

prisha: medi, tend to the wounded.

MEDI: *beep* understood, doctor. ^^

Tool: *staring at the hole in the wall* "..." *holds his head in his hands*

Emine: *passing out* "Sho..."

ochako: how much longer till we get to the top?

melissa: i think there's an elevator on floor 80.

Mineta: T~T "I might as well just bounce all the way up there..."

Izuku: "At least we haven't run into any of those thugs..."

Iida: "We are not to approach these villains--our goal is to report and get backup only."

momo: right...

Todoroki: "...Is that really the right approach? We could stop this right now--"

Iida: *glares* "We don't need a repeat, now do we? I think you and I both know that."

Izuku: *looks down*

ochako: ???

Mineta: "I can't go on..." *collapses on the stairs* =~= "Someone, carry me."

jirou: did you hear something?

Mineta: DX<

Izuku: "I know we're all tired--but this is to save those people."

melissa: here it is! floor 80!

kaminari: if we do this, we'll have fangirls all over us.

Mineta: "..." *bounces back up, struts to the door* "Stand aside--let a hero handle this, ma'am!"

*the door opens to reveal a giant indoor garden*

Izuku: "Oh, wow...I-Island is amazing."

melissa: this floor is used to determine how quirks affect different plant life. the elevator's over there.

Todoroki: *looking along the walls...spots windows and ceiling beams*

Iida: "Let's be quick about this before--"

*doors open*

momo: !! hide!

*everyone ducks*

grunt 1: lotza plants, here, eh?

Grunt 2: "Yes, that's what greenhouses have, dummy."

grunt 1: you think dey got weed up here?

Grunt 2: "You idiot! ...Of course they do. They want to see what quirks do to make new breeds, right?"

Izuku: ._.

*everyone looks at Melissa*

melissa: *shrugs as a 'dont ask me'*

grunt 1: you think we can sneak some of- HEY! YOU THERE!!

???: "WHAT?!"

Izuku: "...Oh no."

eijiro: hi, you guys security? we cant find the party.

Grunt 2: "Yes, we're security. Why don't you come with us, kid?"

eijiro: you hear that guys? we're saved!

Mei: "Wait a minute..." *leans up to Grunt 1* "You suuuuuuuure you're security?"

Grunt 2: "Jeez...Boss is going to be pissy if we let some kids out of here. Better kill them."

eijiro: *hardens up* oh boy

Izuku: "This is not good--we need to get to the elevator, but we can't leave them and Kacchan to fight alone..."

Todoroki: "..." *steps out*

Iida: "?!"

ochako: !!!

Todoroki: *shoots an ice blast at Grunt 1*

grunt 1: *wilhelm scream*

Todoroki: "There. That solves half the problem."

Bakugo: "ICY HOT?! YOU TRYING TO UPSTAGE ME AGAIN?!!! ...Wait, why are you freaks here?"

ochako: why are _you_ here?!

eijiro: we got lost.

Bakugo: "SHUT THE HELL UP, EIJIRO!"

eijiro: .......

Mei: *waves* "Hi, everyone! How's the reception?"

grunt 1: ok, just HOW many brats are walkin around here?! WHERE'S THE ADULT SUPERVISION HERE?!

kaminari: that would be iida.

Iida: -^-; "Well, Todoroki just got us caught up in this fight, so it is unavoidable to use our quirks for the sake of self-defense...Let's get to the elevator before--"

*a giant fist pops out, slamming Eijiro*

eijiro: *SLAMMED INTO THE WALL*

kaminari: oh shi- KIRISHIMA!!

Grunt 2: *cracks out of the ice, now triple the size* "Brrr! That was too cold!"

Bakugo: "?!!! YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" *lobs attack at Grunt 2--*

-FWOOM-

Izuku: "?! Kacchan's attack disappeared!"

Mei: OwO;

Izuku: *aims a shot--*

Bakugo: *pushes Izuku away* "Run, doofus!"

Izuku: "?!! Kacchan--"

Bakugo: "I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE YOU TAKE ALL THE CREDIT! GET OUT!"

Todoroki: "I'll back up Bakugo--get to the security office." *fires ice at Grunt 1*

Bakugo: "I DON'T NEED BACK--"

*Grunt 2 punches Bakugo in the face, knocking him through 3 trees and into a rose thorn bush*

Izuku: D:>

ochako: deku, let's go!!

Izuku: "...running* "Don't you dare lose, Kacchan! We still have a fighting match when this is over!"

Bakugo: *leaps up out of the bushes, a rose held between his teeth as he smiles demonically* "COUNT ON IT!" *slams a fireball punch at Grunt 2*

grunt 1: where do you think YOU'RE goin', brats?!

Todoroki: *ice wall* "Away from you, reprobate." *then sends a fireball at Grunt 1's head*

grunt 1: !!!

-FWOOM-

*the fireball disappears*

Todoroki: "???"

*suddenly, snow is falling on him*

Todoroki: *looks up* "...Wait...He doesn't _cut_ space. He--"

Grunt 2: *tackles Todoroki, ripping his jacket in the process*

grunt 1: space displacement, baby!

Bakugo: "Displace this!" *fires bullet-shaped shots at the ceiling*

grunt 1: dafuq you doin?!

*something is creaking loudly above...before lighting fixtures on the ceiling fall towards Grunt 1*

grunt 1: ..... 0_0 mother-

*CRASH*

Grunt 2: "BRO!" *growls, rushes at Todoroki*

Todoroki: "Wait..." *turns around* "It's not space displacement if he is storing up all that space...That means our attacks from earlier will--"

*fireballs get released, slamming into Grunt 2*

ochako: woo-hoo!

Todoroki: "..." *small smile*

melissa: hurry, the elevator!

Izuku: *rushes inside*

eijiro: go on without me, im trapped.

melissa: allow us to fill you in.

-she explains the situation-

Mei: "Oh, wowie! Then you're going to need to get more than just security!" *pulls out something from her purse*

melissa: ??

*it looks like a radio communicator*

melissa: oh!

Mei: "They are obviously listening in on all communications, so we need to jam it!!!"

jirou: and how do we do that?

Mei: "A POWER SOURCE!" *holds up an iPhone charger* "...CRAP! I MEANT TO BRING A USB-C!"

jirou:....*looks at kaminari*

kaminari: alright, i'll do it. FOR THE FANGIRLS! lay it on me!

Mineta: TwT "Make us proud, buddy."

Izuku: ^^;;;

Todoroki: -_- "Just shove the electrical cord in your mouth already."

kaminari: im sorry wha-

Mei: *hands the cable to him* "Okay, who's going to send out the message?"

momo: i'll do it.

Mei: "Okay--not sure how far the signal goes, so keep it short, then I'll put it on a loop."

Sero: "We just heard some radio signal about an attack on the HQ here! We're trying to get someone to go there! Can you help--"

Bot: "HALT. UNAUTHORIZED USE OF QUIRK ON PROHIBITED GROUNDS!"

Sero: "When you're trying to tase me, it's hardly unwarranted use!"

bystander: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!

bystander 2: WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

bystander 3: so they DO glow in the dark!

Bystander 4: "REALLY?! YOU HAVE TO BRING THAT UP NOW?!!!"

Hagakure: *flings the plate at a Bot, running after Tsuyu* "This is crazy!"

tsuyu: right now, the best idea is to find the others and make a plan.

Hagakure: "How?! Phone signals are jammed by whoever is doing this! Where would everyone have gone to right now?"

mina: HQ! the big old tower! that was totally yaomomo's voice on the radio! and that's where she is!

jirou: oh come on!

*more Security Bots roll around it*

Todoroki: "...We're not all going to be able to continue beyond this point. Some of us will need to make an escape for the next hall while we hold it back."

melissa: just dont break any of the servers.

Iida: "Those with speed and knowledge should move ahead: Hatsume, Melissa, Izuku, Momo, myself. Can the rest of you stay back to hold down this beast?"

ochako: i-i'll try.

Bakugo: *glares at Iida and Melissa* "So, beat the thing up, but not wreck the servers. Gee, you're making this so easy for us..."

Todoroki: "We'll trap it and attack it without damaging the servers. Now go!"

jirou: take ochako with you!

Iida: "???"

jirou: she's not looking well, and i think she'll be safer with you guys.

agate: and just where are you going?

Tool: "These robots...They're screaming. It's getting on my nerves. I'm going to give them a nap."

agate: i dont hear any screaming.

Tool: "I'm a kappa. I lived in a garbage dump. Since then, I don't really hear living things talking...but I can hear the feelings of inanimate objects..."

agate: oh, so robots are automatically just objects?

Tool: "...You ever talk to the soul of an object? The soul of a robot?"

agate:...well, no-

Tool: "I have. Robots have souls. And these robots' souls are screaming in pain because someone is taking them over...just like before."

agate:.....

Tool: "...That doctor. Is she your parent or something?"

agate: she did build me, yes. but she built me to act as a companion....considering who her grandfather was, she was often looked down upon and viewed as an evil person. but she's nothing like her grandfather at all. she just wants to help people and make them happy.

Tool: "...Her grandfather?"

agate: vladimir renfield. he created various robot monsters, some of which were used in a terrorist attack on the kiraragi starship. since then, the renfield name has been blackened in the scientific community. so that's why when she received an invite to i-island, she was so overjoyed and ecstatic.

Tool: "...I'm sorry this happened."

agate: we cant change the past, that's why we have to make the future better.

Tool: "..." *clenches his fist around his weapon* "I'm going to find those Fear Factory freaks, save my friends...and slash through anyone who gets in my way."

melissa: i think so. oh, and thanks for the sneakers, momo.

momo: no problem.

Izuku: "Ochako? You holding up okay?"

ochako: i-i think so. i dont feel as dizzy now.

Mei: *shiny eyes* "I might be able to help with that~"

ochako: ._. um-

ochako: what's that? ._.;;

Mei: Cranial equilibrium modification apparatus...prototype. It helps you with feeling wheezy while going all gravity!"

ochako: oh, cool!

momo: how very convenient.

Mei: *puts it on*

ochako: how does it look?

momo:...well the color matches the dress at least. ^^;

Izuku: ^^ "Stylish, but what do I know."

Iida: -_-

Izuku: "!!! There's the last turn--"

villain: where do you think you're going?

Izuku: "...No..."

ochako: OH COME ON!

villain: you're not going any further than here.

Iida: "We've come too far to be held back!"

melissa: why are you even doing this?!

villain:...we all have our reason....mine is that my daughter is being held prisoner by the mastermind...and if i dont get this done, i'll never see her again.

Izuku: "?!!! That's still no reason! What if we could help you?"

villain: why would you help a villain?

Izuku: "Because it's what a hero should do."

villain: ......you're really naive. *attacks*

Izuku: "!!!" *dodges, running along the wall before bouncing off of it* "I'm sorry for this..." *swings his fist--*

Izuku: "?!!!"

villain: you underestimate how far a parent will go for their child's sake.

Izuku: ("Liquid quirk...Could evaporate or compromise solidity? Perhaps with speed--") *trying to dodge*

villain: *solidifies*

Izuku: "Iida! Get around them! Momo! What you got?"

momo: im thinking of something!

Izuku: *slammed into the wall* "GRK!"

tsuyu: *her skin seems camouflaged?*

Hagakure: *gasps*

mina: neato!

tsuyu: *reaching for the fire alarm with her tongue*

Guard: *snorts* *looks around*

-pull-

*BEE-WOO BEE-WOO*

Guard: "?!!!" *looking around* "Fire? Fire!"

guard 2: oh shit!

Guard 1: "Let's get to a spot of the building where the alarms aren't going off!"

-elsewhere-

Todoroki: *shielding his face, as his ice blasts are blown back at him* "GRK!"

Bakugo: "Damn it! I'm barely putting a dent in its armor!"

kaminari: how many of these guys are there?!

Todoroki: "The curses of automation..."

Whirlwind Robot: *inhales...*

Bakugo: "... ... ...Well, if you can't fight it from outside..." *pushes Kaminari into the Whirlwind Robot's suction*

kaminari: HEY HEY HEY HEY!!! D8

Whirlwind Robot: *sucks in Kaminari...then starts shorting out* O_____O *GLITCH GLITCH*

jirou: ?!?!?

Whirlwind Robot: *WRRRRRRRR--*

*It explodes, producing a tornado in the room, sucking in all the robots...*

Sentry Bot: "ERROR. ERROR. THIS SUCKS--"

*CRASH*

eijiro: KAMINARI?!

kaminari: *face planted on the ground*......ow.

Bakugo: *ducking to avoid falling robots* "He's fine--he's got a hard head."

jirou: guess we better hurry.

Todoroki: *produces an ice slide* "Let's move."

-elsewhere-

Tokoyami: *holding the crying baby awkwardly* ._.;;; "How...do you deal with these things?"

rikido: you have to support the head, like this.

Tokoyami: "O-Okay?"

Dark Shadow: *holding the baby's rattle*

baby: bah...baba ^o^

Dark Shadow: "Yay..."

Sero: "Guys!" *waves* "What's been going on here?"

-elsewhere-

ochako: are we just about there yet?

Iida: "Straight ahead! That leaves the last set of stairs..."

momo: right!

melissa: *running*

Mei: *looking at readings on her wristwatch* "And it looks like we'll have some help--I got 2 heat signatures following us! Must be Icy Hot and Kacchan!"

ochako: that's good.

*the floor is rumbling*

Mei: ^w^ "Aw, Kacchan is excited to fight."

Izuku: "...I don't think that's Kacchan--"

*something explodes under the stairs, bringing them down*

ochako: WOAH!

melissa: AH!

Mei: O_O; "...Jeez, I knew he was violent, but gosh darn."

Iida: *looks* "...!!! Everyone, get down!"

*a fireball, shaped like a bird, flies at them*

ochako: EEP!

*the flames dissipate, revealing...*

Villain: *walks through the flames, seemingly unharmed, staring harshly at the students*

ochako: OH COME ON!

Villain: "You will not pass. Your journey, and your lives, end here." *holds up her forearm, lighting it on fire as the faces of birds seem to be screaming off of it*

ochako: ._.;;

momo: !!!!

Izuku: "This is bad...We're already at our limits. And we're so close!"

Mei: *shaking her purse* "I'm running out of babies..."

ochako: *gulp* ideas?

Iida: "...I think it's time for something reckless."

Villain: *drops flames along the floor, blocking any access underneath the command tower*

momo: !! *summoning a cannon*

Villain: "What? Is that tiny thing supposed to scare me?"

momo: *fires*

Villain: *smiles, sending her firebird forward again--*

ochako: *gravitying izuku and melissa up to the door*

Izuku: "??!! Ochako!"

ochako: go!

Izuku: "..." *nods*

Villain: "No, you don't." *sends flamebird up--*

momo: *fires again*

Villain: *dodges, running swiftly around the blast and towards Momo...smirks*

momo: !!!!

Villain: "Versatile...But not a very powerful Quirk, is it? What use are you, child?"

momo: more than you'd think. *summons fire extinguisher*

Villain: "?!"

melissa: almost there!

Izuku: "Let me give us a push..." *charging up Full Cowl*

*something whirring sounds like it is behind them...*

melissa: *looks*

*it's drones and flying Sentries...*

melissa: !!!

???: "FOR THE FANGIRLS!!!"

*plunger'ed*

*a Sentry now has a toilet plunger sticking off its 'face'*

Sentry: ._.;

melissa: ?!?!?

momo: -A-; you have to be kidding me.

*It's...Mineta?! Strapped with...toilet paper on his belt like weapons and...holding plungers*

Mineta: "YOU THOUGHT I WOULD JUST RUN AWAY!" *aims grape balls and toilet paper* "I'LL BONDAGE YOU UP RIGHT NOW!"

Izuku: -_-; "...Let's just get up to the command tower..."

Sentry: "..." >_< "EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!"

melissa: ._.

Mineta: "...I didn't think this far through the plan, BUT I'M STILL GOING TO RUB MY BALLS ALL OVER YOU STUPID KILL-BOTS! DIE!!!" *flinging his balls at the bots*

*the Sentries are still swarming...*

Villain: *brushing extinguisher off of her* "Like I needed just my quirk to stop you..." *steps up to Momo, cracking her knuckles*

momo: !!

Villain: *fist flies--*

*BOOM*

ochako: ?!

Bakugo: *slams out of the floor, slamming his fist into the Villain's jaw* "OUT OF MY WAY!!!"

*an ice bridge flies up, freezing the sentries*

Todoroki: *half of his body is on fire, his suit half-burned off*

ochako: GUYS!

jirou: yo.

kaminari: =w= huehehe~

Mineta: "??? He shocked himself stupid again?" *pumping a plunger on the robot, ripping off its shielding*

jirou: you're alive. how dissapointing.

Mineta: -_-# "D'aw, I missed you too." *tosses a roll of toilet paper at her*

-elsewhere-

Wolfram: *watching security cameras* "Why are a bunch of children mopping the floor with my troops?"

grunt: wait a sec, i recognize some of those kids, they're UA students!

Wolfram: "..." *sneers* "Should've figured."

grunt: what now?

Wolfram: "...Dr. Shield still in the vault?"

grunt: yeah, why?

Wolfram: "We're getting the package and leaving..."

-elsewhere-

sam: ....

David: *counting through cabinets* "Hmm...Ah! Here."

sam: thank god.

David: *nods* "Our ride waiting for us?"

sam: yeah.

David: *sighs* "It'll be worth it...This will restore All Might to greatness."

melissa: DAD!

David: "??!"

melissa: oh thank god you're alive.

sam: h-how on earth did you get here?

Izuku: *fast-talking rambling* "I-I'm sorry! We made sure to keep Melissa safe! But she's here now to help get control back for the tower! We don't have a lot of time to explain. We have to get out of here before those villains get here. Don't worry, we'll protect you."

sam:.....

David: "Y-You can't be here--not yet. ...Come on, Melissa, we're leaving."

melissa: dad? what's going on?

David: "Melissa, please--we can't stay here, not once they find this missing..."

melissa: what are you talking about?

David: "..." *sighs* "You deserve to know...My funding's been cut."

melissa: ?!?

David: *holding the case close to himself* "Toshinori...Your uncle...His will is dying."

melissa: w-what...?

Izuku: "?! Dr-Dr Shield, I don't think--"

David: "He's losing his Quirk. The Symbol of Peace...will soon be no more. Not without this!" *opens the case, showing a headset*

melissa: !!!!

Izuku: *noticing a sticker on the case: "DANGEROUS--PROHIBITED TECHNOLOGY"* "?!! Doctor--Is that some weapon?"

David: "No! No...Sam and I developed this Quirk enhancement device..." *small laugh* "A way to augment one's inherit abilities, to rejuvenate...To let All Might be reborn!"

melissa: but i thought the villain-

David: *shakes his head* "An actor. One we hired to distract the I-Island executives and security long enough to retrieve this tech before they kept it locked away forever."

Izuku: "..." *serious frown*

melissa:....h-how could you? risking innocent people for this?! the papa i know would never do that!

David: "Melissa...I'm doing this for the world. We can't afford...to lose anyone else."

melissa: that doesnt justify-

Wolfram: "It more than justifies." *walks in between Melissa and Izuku*

Izuku: "?!!!"

melissa: ?!?!?!

Wolfram: "The helicopter is waiting. Let's get a move on." *grabs Melissa by the arm, squeezing* "We'll get you out of here, dearie."

melissa: *winces and steps on his foot*

Wolfram: "..." *grabs her by the chin* "Behave yourself, girl."

David: "!!! Hey! Let her go!"

sam: this wasnt part of the deal, wolfram!

David: "Yes! This is just an act! It's--"

*SNAP*

David: "?!" *looks down to see a metal brace put around his neck*

Wolfram: "...Come along, doc." *squeezes his hand, as the brace shrinks around David's neck*

melissa: !!! DAD!!

sam: *takes the suitcase* here, just take the helmet, just let them go!

Wolfram: "Hmm..." *takes the suitcase* "Thank you. Let's deal with your payment--"

David: *gasping* "Pay-Payment? Sam...Did you sell me out?!"

sam: dont we deserve fame and money for this tech? we worked on this together, yet YOU got the lead credit! im DONE being in your shadow sir!

David: *lying on his side in pain* "Sam...This wasn't for me. It was for All Might..."

Wolfram: "I'll be sure to let him know that. Now hurry up--I need the head scientist on this to come with me."

sam: I. WORKED. ON. THIS. TOO!!

Izuku: *stunned...looking around* ("Metal quirk...Metal everywhere...One wrong move, and he'll kill Dr. Shield...What do I do...") *looks at his gauntlet* "..."

Wolfram: -_-; "You're seriously going to whine like this the entire trip, aren't you?" *sighs* *aims his gun at Sam's chest--and fires 3 times*

sam: !!! *stumbles, blood dripping from his mouth before he collapses*

David: "?!!! SAM!" *stares at Wolfram*

melissa: *shaking*

Izuku: "You bastard!" *throwing a punch* "DAKOTA SMAAAAA--"

*braces wrap around Izuku, covering his mouth and pulling his limbs back with a POP*

Izuku: *muffled scream, like he feels his shoulder pop*

melissa: *frozen in terror, tears falling*

Wolfram: *hurls David over his shoulder, picks up the suitcase* "You're out of your league, kid." *stares at Melissa* "..." *holsters his gun* "Not even worth it. Say 'bye' to your dad, girlie." *starts to walk away--*

melissa: no....please....

Wolfram: *imitating* " 'No, please.' Ha...Quirkless brat. What good are freaks like you?"

Izuku: *shaking in the braces...they are starting to snap as Full Cowl takes effect...*

melissa: *looks* !!! (is....is that...?)

Wolfram: "???" *turns--*

*the braces snap off, slamming into Wolfram but not David*

Wolfram: "???!"

Izuku: *not a word, as his fist slams into Wolfram's stomach...*

Wolfram: *coughs up blood...before he goes sailing into cabinets of inventions*

David: *goes flying up--before landing in Izuku's arms*

melissa: DAD!

David: "Melissa..."

Izuku: *pants...stares shocked* "..." *smiles* "Melissa! The polymer! It really--"

*An entire cabinet smashes Izuku in the face, knocking him down, and David with him*

melissa: !!!!!!

Wolfram: *standing up...marches forward, multiple metallic objects swirling around him* "..." *looks up* "..." *lifts a hand, squeezing it...the room starts shaking--before a hole rips in the ceiling*

David: *groans*

Wolfram: *picks up David...and the floor beneath them cracks and explodes up, letting Wolfram leap to the rooftop with his hostage*

Izuku: "!!!" *looking down, as the floor has cracked so much it's going to drop completely* "!!!" *his nose is bleeding...he leaps across the growing chasm towards Melissa*

melissa: !!!!!!!!!!!

Izuku: *catches Melissa...but he's already falling* "!!! Hold on!" ("I got to time this just right...") *he uses One for All to time his leaps across the debris until he can get back to the entrance of the vault--before the vault collapses behind them* "...Melissa...I'm going to get your dad back. And you need to get control of the security system!"

melissa: *shaking*

Izuku: "..." *gets down to her level* "Melissa...Please. You're the only one who knows how the security system here works. We can do this--we're going to save your dad. And if you can get into security, we can get All Might to help..."

melissa:....o...ok....

Izuku: "..." *nods* "I'll be right back." *looks up at the ceiling* "..." *cringes* "This is going to hurt..." *leaps--and smashes through 3 floors to the rooftop..."

-elsewhere-

mina: i think that's the security room.

Hagakure: "Yep--the monitors in there look very security-esque..." *looks inside* "Where is everyone?"

tsuyu: *looks around*

*there are video feeds all over, showing the students inside fighting Villains and robots*

tsuyu: !!! look!

Hagakure: "!!! Oh no...They're getting demolished out there!"

mina: what do we do??!!

Hagakure: "I don't know--this is beyond just a typing class! Why can't they put the kill switch as some big red button?!"

mina: i dont know!

Thug: "FREEZE!" *aims a gun at the trio*

mina: OH SHI-

tsuyu: !!!

Hagakure: *puts up her hands...as much of them as can be seen in her shirt* "...Hi. We're lost. Can you direct us to the ladies' room~?"

Thug: *click* "Against the wall."

mina: *gulp*

Hagakure: -_-; *looks around* "..." *manages to grab a coffee mug, tucks it into her pocket before moving to the wall* "We won't tell anyone!"

Thug: "I know...We're all going to sit here and relax until Boss gives the order to let you go..."

mina: cant we at least get a phone call?

tsuyu: we dont want our families to worry about us.

Thug: "Can't allow that. Besides, cell reception is still down, so what would you even say to them?"

mina: say, do you like movies?

Thug: "...I mean, I guess?"

Hagakure: *sneaks her hand back in her pocket...*

mina: oh cool! what kind of movies do you like?

Thug: "...I mean, the usual...I was hoping to see the new Space Wars prequel...Then boss pulled me into this."

mina: there's a NEW prequel? i havent heard that!

tsuyu: are you talking about the ghostly menace? because that one's been out for a while now.

Thug: "...Okay, I'm going to be real with you: boss over-works me so much, I haven't had a chance to go out to the movies in months."

mina: must be tough. say! if you let us go, we'll hook you up with some movie tickets, sound good, fam?

Thug: "R-Really? ...Let me see them."

tsuyu: our friend has them.

mina: totally! give 'em to 'im, toru-chan!

Hagakure: "...You really want them?"

Thug: "Yes! Give it to me!"

Hagakure: "..." *shrugs* "Okay!" *pulls something out of her pocket*

Thug: ^w^

*SLAM*

Thug: X__X *a broken mug over his head*

Hagakure: *pats her hands* "Well, that's that!"

mina: aaand he's out. let's try and figure this thing out.

Hagakure: "Ooooo! A microphone..."

security system: please enter the passcode.

mina: um...ravioli ravioli please free the hero-olies?

security: ACCESS DENIED.

*the door slams open*

Mei: "LADIES!" *holds up a USB stick* "LET'S RUN THROUGH ALL THE PASSCODE COMBINATIONS!"

mina: oh boy.

Hagakure: -3- "Yay..."

tsuyu: be careful...

Mei: "It's fine! What's the worst that can happen--" *plugs in the USB stick*

-BWEEEP BWEEEEP BWEEEEP-

-COME ON AND SLAM AND WELCOME TO THE JAM-

mina: *SCREAMING*

Mei: *head-banging*

tsuyu: Q~Q kerooo…

melissa: what is going on here?

Mei: "??? Hey! You finally got here!"

melissa: how did you-

mina: pizza delivery.

melissa: nevermind, now isnt the time for that, for now, we need to unlock the security system.

Mei: "You know the code?"

melissa: *typing it in*

Mei: OwO "Amazing."

-it worked!-

Mei: OwO "Amazing."

-it worked!-

-meanwhile-

Lackey 1: "So I said, 'Honey, the color does not work.'"

All Might: *straining under the constraints when--*

*CLICK*

All Might: "..." *loosens his arms* "..." ("I'm almost at my limit...But I can't rescue Dave until--")

X: leave this to us!

Lackey 1: "?!!" *calling into walkie talkie* "The constraints are loose! What's going on in secur--"

-WHACK-

Lackey 1: X_X

All Might: “THANK YOU! STAND BACK!" *leaps up through the ceiling*

-elsewhere-

Wolfram: *shoves David into the helicopter* "Tie him up."

grunt: got it, boss.

David: "This wasn't the deal! You can't--"

Wolfram: "Shut up. You made this. You knew you were told not to. And now...Now, you've unlocked the next advancement, the new evolution..."

*the helicopter lifts up...then something shakes it*

grunt 2: uhhh sir?

Wolfram: *looks out the window* "?! A cling-on!"

Izuku: *hanging on for dear life* "PUT THE HELICOPTER DOWN!"

grunt: *shooting*

Izuku: "!!!" *shoves his feet into the skids, hanging upside down* ("This needs to work...") *before lifting, grabbing the other skids, and tossing himself up and into the door of the helicopter--then slamming into the grunt*

grunt: OOF!

Izuku: "*grabs David* "Let's go--"

Wolfram: *slams a fist into Izuku's face, as he's wearing brass knuckles to increase the force, sending Izuku flying out of the helicopter...and down towards the ground*

Izuku: *barely conscious* "Wh-Wha...!!!" *looks down* ("OH GOD THE GROUND IS COMING AT ME!!!")

-a mattress appears below him-

Izuku: *soft landing* "UMPH! ..." ._. "Where did this--?"

momo: midoriya!

Izuku: "!!! Guys! Dr. Shield is in that 'copter!"

ochako: *jumps up with gravity*

Wolfram: "!!! Keep going! Get higher!"

ochako: oh no you dont!

Todoroki: "Ochaco!" *forms an ice path*

ochako: thanks! *sliding along it and jumps off with momentum*

Wolfram: "Higher--higher!"

ochako: *grabs on*

Wolfram: "?!" *aims the gun at her--*

ochako: *focusing*

grunt: uhhh, boss?

Wolfram: "?!!! What's that rattling..."

-PANG-

grunt: OH FUCK!!

ochako: release!

-the copter begins to plummet-

ochako: *grabs david and jumps, using gravity*

Wolfram: *trying to hold the copter's remains together with his metal quirk...then he spots the headband* "!!!"

David: *screaming*

Iida: "Get ready to retrieve the civilian."

momo: right!

*the helicopter crashes to the ground in a fire far away*

ochako: release!

Iida: "Easy, sir. You're safe now..."

David: *shudders*

melissa: DAD!

David: "M-Melissa..." *runs up to her...*

melissa: *hug*

David: *hugs* "I'm sorry...I got so wrapped up. They were right--this tech could be duplicated. But I'm so glad you're safe."

melissa:......

Izuku: *small smile* "We better get back to let the others know what happened."

David: "...I..." *nods* "Okay. I'll--"

*SPLURT*

David: *SCREAMS*

melissa: !!!!!

*metal rebar has pierced David's leg*

Mineta: Q___Q "Guys? Something big is coming out of the fiery helicopter mess..."

ochako: !!!

*a hulking mess of assembled parts marches through the fire...the flames just roll over him...he looks like a patchwork of different skins, muscles, metals...It's a hulking, almost mutant-looking version of Wolfram*

Izuku: "?!!! What happened to him?! H-His quirk was metal manipulation--wasn't it?!"

melissa: *looks* !!! the headgear!

Wolfram: *chuckles...it sounds like animalistic braying, his pupils rectangular in shape* "The achievements of modern technology..." *taps the headband*

momo: brace yourselves everyone!

*Wolfram's torso ripples...before it opens like a mouth, as a tongue-like appendage whips out of it towards David, wrapping around him*

David: "?!!!"

mina: WHAT THE FUCK?!?

*Wolfram's torso-tongue pulls David in, locking him in his chest cavity...his screams are heard...then muffled*

Wolfram: "Yes, Doc, calm down--we'll be home soon enough..." *prepares to leap away...*

kaminari: *SENDS AN ELECTRIC CHARGE AT HIM*

melissa: WAIT!

Wolfram: *holds out a metal fist, the electricity circling around his mitt...and quickening its speed...he sneers at Kaminari, aims...*

kaminari: !!!!!

Iida: "Kaminari!" *running* ("Damn--I'm too slow! I'm not going to make it!")

???: "DETROIT..."

kaminari: ??

All Might: *catches the electricity--and throws it back*

Wolfram: *absorbs the blow* "..." *sneers* "All Might...He'll be so happy."

All Might: "???"

ochako: ?!??!

All Might: "ENOUGH OF THIS, VILLAIN! WHERE'S DAVID?!!"

kaminari: the villain fucking vored him.

jirou: NOW ISNT THE TIME FOR JOKES, KAMINARI!

All Might: "...Young Midoriya...What is 'vore'?"

Izuku: >_<# "NOT NOW, SIR! THAT VILLAIN IS HOLDING DAVID INSIDE HIS CHEST CAVITY!"

All Might: "?! But he doesn't have a Quirk..."

Izuku: "He does! I mean, he has a magnetic quirk! But then he had all these other quirks when he put on Dr. Shield's Quirk amplification headset--"

All Might: "Quirk amplification what?"

Izuku: "--but the headset should only increase inherent Quirks, not _bestow_ Quirks! It's not like One--Er...It's not like anything I've ever seen!"

All Might: "..." ("Wait...Multiple quirks..The Nomu...Bestowing or taking away Quirks?!") "!!! STUDENTS! YOU ARE NOT TO BE HERE! GET BACK!"

momo: what's going on?!

Bakugo: "WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, SIR, FUCK THAT NOISE!" *charging up* "LET'S GET THIS BASTARD!"

*and then suddenly, the ground swallowed up Bakugo*

eijiro: KATSUKI!

Wolfram: *he's touching the ground, as it pulls dirt around the spot where Bakugo once stood*

All Might: "NO!" *rushes at Wolfram--*

Iida: "CHEST CAVITY, SIR! AIM FOR THE HEADBAND!"

All Might: "ROGER!" *skids to a stop, but his arm is pulled back, as his fist connects with Wolfram's head with a loud CRACK*

Bakugo: *under earth* *muffled yelling...you can see the sparks popping underneath...*

eijiro: hold on! we'll dig you out!

Izuku: *watching from afar* "Did he stop the villain..."

Wolfram: *head knocked back...then snaps his neck forward, headbutting All Might*

melissa: UNCLE MIGHT!

All Might: *goes sailing, crashing through a jutted wall*

Wolfram: "Oh, no, Number One Hero...HE'S NOT DONE WITH YOU!" *leaps after All Might, following him and wailing at him*

ochako: *throwing a piece of rubble* HEY! LEAVE HIM ALONE!

Wolfram: *the rubble hits him* "Hmph. I think we need to go somewhere more private..." *tosses All Might higher, resuming an air battle*

All Might: *getting pummeled*

mina: NOW WHAT DO WE DO?!

Wolfram: "You already know, don't you! What he did to me? He enhanced me! Gave me these beautiful powers, all so he could finally kill you, All Might! All for One gave it to me now!!!"

All Might: *struggling to get a hold of himself* "You...bastards...I'll end your evil...I'm rescuing David...AND YOU'RE GOING DOWN!" *wraps an arm around Wolfram's neck, slamming his fist repeatedly into his face*

Todoroki: "What if we encased both of them in ice?"

Iida: "Wouldn't that also harm All Might?"

Todoroki: "Look at him--he can handle it. ...Probably."

momo: maybe if i made...no-no that wont work...

Izuku: "What is it?"

momo: i considered a net gun, but im not sure how effective that would be.

Iida: "What kind of material would hold the villain..."

Izuku: *looks at the polymer* "If only you could duplicate this..."

melissa: could you?

momo: i'll need full details on how it would work...

Mei: "HEY, YOU GUYS!" *looking up* "IF MELISSA'S DAD IS INSIDE THE CHEST CAVITY...WHERE'S THE HEART?"

Izuku: "??? Hatsume, do you see--"

Mei: "ANSWER: IT'S STICKING OUT OF HIS BACK! AND IT'S SUPER GROSS!"

momo: !!! mei, do you still have your grappling hook?

Mei: "Is the large hadron collider capable of accelerating protons at 0.999999991 c? ...The answer is yes." *holds up the grappling hook*

mina: aim for the weak point!

Mei: *looks carefully...steadies her hand--* "WAIT! What if he falls? Who's going to catch him?"

Bakugo: *still underground, letting out a groan of fury*

tsuyu: i'll catch him.

Mei: "RIGHT! FIRE!!!" *shoots at the heart*

tsuyu: *running in*

Wolfram: "Say hello to your mentor in Hell!" *a blade shoots out of his wrist for All Might's throat--*

*BRIIIIIING*

Wolfram: *lets out a scream, as a pellet has struck through his heart*

All Might: *BROOKLYN STRIKE!* *his fist slams into Wolfram's face, causing the chest cavity to open up, David slipping out...*

tsuyu: *tongue out*

David: *unconscious...*

tsuyu: *mouth open* <he's still breathing>

momo: we need to get him out of here before he gets hurt even more.

Wolfram: *bleeding profusely, struggling to reach his back, screaming*

All Might: "I'm sorry...but this ends now..." *takes Wolfram by the face--and hurls him down into the debris...*

mina: *helping hold up david* this way sir.

David: *trying to follow*

All Might: *three-point landing* "..." *looks back* David...Melissa...You're safe now..."

momo: let's get him inside, then i'll make a stretcher.

Bakugo: *slams up out of the dirt, panting* "I COULDN'T BREATHE DOWN THERE!"

eijiro: you ok?

Bakugo: "I JUST SAID I COULDN'T BREATHE!"

Todoroki: "Yet you were screaming, so technically you were able to inhale--"

kaminari: is the villain-

Izuku: "..."

Iida: "Killing one is...not something we're all prepared for. But it was either him or--"

-rumble-

*the metal debris flies up into a giant ball*

Izuku: "?!!"

mina: come on doc, let's go!

David: *trying to follow--*

*an electrical cable circles around Mina's ankle, pulling her up*

mina: !!! *throws some acid on it*

jirou: !!! you son of a BITCH! *aims her earjacks*

*a vaguely human-shaped mass of metal appears, body-slamming Eijiro*

eijiro: GRK-

Bakugo: *blasting at metal golems* "Son of a crap!"

Iida: "!!!" *rushes for David and Melissa--*

*a giant metal hand emerges, reaching for Melissa and David*

melissa: !!! *trying to shield her father*

David: "!!! Melissa, no--"

*scooped up*

melissa: !!!

All Might: "NO!" *races* "TAKE MY HAND, NOW!" *reaches to them...*

melissa: *reaching out*

David: *pushes Melissa to All Might before the hand closes around him*

melissa: DAD!!

*the hand pulls into the earth--before a giant apparatus of metal and gears emerges, with the half-dead Wolfram in its center, clutching David*

kaminari: HOW IS HE NOT DEAD?!?!

Izuku: "...It's multiple quirks...I don't know how, but until every one of his quirks is broken, he's not going to die..."

Wolfram: *coughs up blood* "If I can't get this idiot back to him...I at least will go down in history as the man who killed All Might."

ochako: !!!! this is bad...

Todoroki: "I-Island metal like that in this building can withstand intense heat and cold...Even Kirishima's punches may not be enough...We have to keep any more metal from getting around him--Ochako, make it float away from him."

ochako: r-right! *touching as many metal pieces as she can*

All Might: "GIVE HIM BACK!" *rushes at Wolfram--only to freeze in place, as if he's lifted in the air*

melissa: !!!

All Might: "GRRK!" *pulled by telekinesis to Wolfram's face*

Wolfram: *smiles weakly* "What will it be like, to have your brain explode from the inside? Or perhaps...That old injury of yours needs a refresher--" *summons a beam--that he slams like a bat into All Might's side*

All Might: *SCREAMS*

Izuku: "!!!" *crouches--and leaps--*

melissa: !!!

Izuku: "I-ISLAND...SMASH!" *his fist collides with Wolfram's face, freeing All Might, as both he and Izuku fall*

ochako: DEKU!

melissa: !!!!!!!!!! (that's......)

Bakugo: "You nerd! He's not down yet! GET BACK UP AND FINISH HIM!"

Todoroki: "..."

izuku: all-might! are you ok?

All Might: *coughs...puts on a smile* "It's not enough for just one of us, young man. This is a job for two heroes. Can I ask you for your help?"

izuku: *nods* any time.

All Might: "Right! Keep up the speed--we're going to do something I've wanted to try for the longest..."

izuku: ?? and that is?

All Might: "Use the abilities you have, the ones you've earned, the ones you've developed, to run really really really fast! If this works, it'll speed us faster than just one person!"

izuku: o-ok.

All Might: "...We're doing this for David and Melissa...For I-Island..."

izuku: right.

All Might: "...One for All..."

izuku: ...double...

All Might: "DETROIT..."

All Might + Izuku: "SMASH!"

*they take off, streaks of green and gold along the ground*

ochako: COME ON!

eijiro: YOU CAN DO IT!

jirou: KICK HIS ASS!!

melissa: .... (this is.....)

Hagakure: "SAVE THE ISLAND!"

Bakugo: "DON'T SCREW THIS UP, DEKU!"

Todoroki: *watching* "..."

Iida: "PICK UP THE PACE! YOU'RE ALMOST THERE!"

momo: GO ABOVE AND BEYOND!

*a spire of metal heads right for All Might's head*

All Might: "!!!"

izuku: *PUNCHES IT AWAY*

All Might: "...THIS IS IT!" *readies his fist*

izuku: *does the same*

Wolfram: "THIS WON'T END IT! YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED, HERO!"

izuku: that's what YOU think!

All Might: "THE NEW GENERATION HAS ARRIVED TO PUT AN END TO YOUR SCOURGE, VILLAIN...Goodbye..."

izuku: HAAAAAAH!!!!

Wolfram: "NOOOO--"

*a shining light explodes out of Wolfram...everything seems to float in the air for the longest moment...*

melissa: *staring in awe and shock*

*all that is left in the sky are bits of metal and 3 shapes descending rapidly to the ground*

ochako: YAOMOMO!

momo: *making a platform to catch them*

*All Might lands first, slamming through the platform and into the ground, kicking up dust...*

melissa: UNCLE MIGHT!

David: *lands safely on the platform, unconscious, his leg bleeding*

melissa: DAD!!!

Izuku: *flailing his arms, screaming* "AAAAAAAAAAH--" *POOF* *lands face first into the cushion* "..." *muffled noise*

ochako: deku!

tsuyu: izuku!

David: *barely conscious* "Melissa..."

melissa: daddy?

Iida: "Momo, first aid..."

momo: right! *making some gauze*

David: "Melissa...I'm..."

All Might: *his time is running out...he coughs up blood*

melissa: !!! uncle might? are you ok??

mina:..........that........................THAT WAS TOTALLY EPIC!! DID YOU SEE THAT?! IT WAS LIKE ‘WHOOOM’ AND THEN IT WAS LIKE ‘PREOOOO’ AND THEN ‘BOOM WHAM BAM’! HOLY SHIT IT WAS LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF A SHONEN MANGA! *INHAAAAAALE*

Izuku: *gets up* "..." *looks around*

All Might: "D-Don't look...Please..."

melissa: uncle might, what's going on?

*the smoke clears, revealing an emaciated figure*

melissa: !!!!....uncle.....might?

Izuku: "Al-All Might!" *leaps down, running* "Melissa, don't--"

All Might: *coughs up blood, trying to get up* "...This...is looking pretty bad, huh?"

momo: *making the stretcher*

eijiro: ally-OOP! *hoists him onto the stretcher*

David: *passes out*

mina: *calling 911*

Todoroki: "Come--let's get him to the med room." *looks*

Iida: "MELISSA! IZUKU! DO YOU NEED ASSISTANCE!"

All Might: ._.;;;

David: *groans*

ochako: dont you worry, sir, you're in good hands now.

David: "Toshinori...Melissa...Where..."

ochako:.....who's toshinori?

Izuku: "W-We're fine! Just fine! Everything's fine! ...How are you?!"

Iida: "...Did you hit your head? ALL MIGHT, SIR! Are you--"

All Might: *waving at Izuku and Melissa*

melissa: he-he's fine! nothing to worry about here!

Iida: "Okay! We need to get the doctor to the hospital!"

ochako: kind of ironic.

jirou: he's not that kind of doctor.

ochako: i know, but i couldnt help myself to the joke. ^^;

jirou: -_-; ochako, you are really weird sometimes.

ochako: ehehe~ ^^;

Todoroki: "...Ha."

jirou: well, at least we're all ok.

Bakugo: -_-; *spits up more dirt*

Hagakure: *hugs Tsuyu* "Yay! We're not dead!"

Mineta: *holding the plunger* "We saved I-Island! COMMENCE WITH THE FAN-GIRLS!"

*a giant gear falls on Mineta*

jirou: and we didnt even use lisences........ohhhhhh aizawa's gonna kill us.

kaminari: hey, it's summer break, he's never gonna know.

Aizawa: *petting a cat* "...I don't know why, but I have the sudden feeling those kids did something stupid again."

chie:...........*lip trembling*

toru: baba?

Detective: "I know this is difficult. But this isn't enough to go on--some weird cyborg android thing?"

Hani: *practically fuming*

Kepuri: "Chie..."

remina: well, i drew some sketches. *holds up a notebook; the pictures are rather burton-esque*

Kepuri: ._.; "Kind of...um, Lewis Carroll meets loli?"

Detective: "Were the eyes really like that?"

remina: .///. .... >///< d-dont judge me! it's the only style i know how to draw! >n<

Detective: "I see...I can't say I have any idea where to find them--outer space is not in my jurisdiction--"

Hani: "YOU FOOL! THEN GET SOMEONE WHO CAN GO INTO SPACE! THIS IS I-ISLAND--FIND SOMEONE!"

remina: outer space? ._.;;;

Detective: "That was a sub-orbital starship, wasn't it? That's what our aerospace division said after examining the security footage."

prisha: well, that gives us a clue as to their location.

Kepuri: "Outer...space..." >~< "Why does Yohei get all the luck?!!!"

mana: what's going on? where am i?

Cloak: "Far away from home." *pulls up a chair, sits outside her cell* "We have plans for you and your friends."

mana: what's going on here? who are you?

Cloak: "We are Fear Factory. You and your friends destroyed it. But now that Fear Factory has been resurrected, our first mission in this new life is to snuff out yours."

mana: and who are you, individually?

Cloak: "..." *pulls back his cloak, revealing a face dotted with cybernetic attachments* " I was Luke Akiho."

mana: !!!!!!!

Shotaro: "HOLY MOLEY!" *in another cell, holding onto the bars like a monkey* "...Who's Luke Akiho?"

mana: showtaro! you're alright!

Shotaro: "Yep! I heal quickly thanks to--" *holds up an empty hand* "... ... ..." *looks around* "?! WHERE ARE MY BONES?!!!"

Luke: "We confiscated them, along with all the weapons your traitor held. Amongst other items..." *twirls Mana's cap on his finger*

mana: *glares*

Shotaro: "Jeez, mister, I don't know what Mana did to tick you off. Mana, did you rob him or date him or spit in his food or something?"

mana: where's yohei?

Luke: "...He's back at work."

-meanwhile-

Marie anette: helloooo mr nanami~ did you enjoy your naaaap~?

Yohei: *shirtless, strapped to a giant crucifix* "..."

Marie anette: not gonna answer? boooooriiiiing!

Yohei: "..." *his eyes look back and forth* *whispers something*

Marie anette: what was that? i couldnt hear you, speak up!

Yohei: *whispers still--* "--I."

Marie anette: ehhhh? *trying to listen*

*SPITS IN HER EYE*

Yohei: *smirks* "I needed to share that with you."

Marie anette: GYAH!! *glares, tears welling* WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!! NAOKAAAAAA!!!! HE'S BEING A MEANIEEEE!!!

naoka: *wipes her eye*

marie anette: *sniffles* i-im gonna enjoy this! *presses a button*

saki: *worried*

nea: they've really been captured?

Shinoda: "It's been difficult getting in touch with police. The news reports hints as such."

lin-kimpur: *calling emine*

*a raspy voice is heard*

lin-kimpur: EMINE?!

Emine: "..."

lin-kimpur: EMINE ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!

Emine: "...They took Shotaro."

lin-kimpur: i-im going to put you on speaker phone now, everyone else is here.

Emine: "...Oh."

setsuna: emine, are you alright?

nea: what's going on? setsuna said that showtaro, mana, and yohei were taken, is that true?

Emine: "...They took Shotaro."

setsuna: *covers her mouth, crying*

Emine: "...I'm sorry. I'm sorry..."

nea:.....do you know _who_ took them?

Emine: "...They kept insisting they were Fear Factory."

mono: i thought they went defunct?!

Shinoda: "Destroyed, actually. At least, the leadership was...Except...their president."

akaderu: i thought that bastard rodigy was their president?

Shinoda: "_Vice_ President."

mono: then who was their leader?

Shinoda: "From what I heard, Yohei crushed the President after sabotaging the Fear Robot."

mono: really?

Emine: "...'Crushed' isn't the same as 'killed.'"

mono: ._.

Shinoda: "Well, that answers one question. Too bad we don't have former associates...Except when Lin infiltrated...and Kepuri worked for them..."

Assi: "I worked for them!"

Shinoda: "...Who are you?"

Assi: D8<

Zuno: "Who are you?"

Assi: -_-; *pat pat*

nea:....is anyone else there with you?

Emine: "...The others are elsewhere. I don't care."

nea: well you _should_ care, because i have a plan to get them back, but we'll need all the help we can get.

Emine: "Then go call them. They aren't here."

akaderu: *calling up kepuri*

Kepuri: "Babe!"

akaderu: hey babe, emine just told us what happened. are you alright?

Kepuri: "Shaken...GET and WASHU got broken."

akaderu: seriously?

WASHU: >3< we're right here-shu!

akaderu:.....babe? what was that? ._.;

Kepuri: "Oh, I upgraded them with voice chips." *pets WASHU's head* "It's okay, sweetie."

akaderu: were mana and yohei taken too?

Kepuri: *nods* "Yeah. Those Fear Factory stormtroopers shoved them into a starship."

akaderu:.....what?

Kepuri: "Starship--it went into outer space."

akaderu:....they're in space?

nea: you got a location?

akaderu:...i think so-

nea: *takes the phone* kepuri, is anyone else there with you?

Kepuri: "Chie is...recuperating. Tool is out on the balcony, trying to...I couldn't follow--something about nature communion."

nea: well get them here because we're about to have a team meeting!

Kepuri: -_-; "GET, could you help Mama and ask Chie to come here?" ^^;

GET: yes ma'am-gege!

Todoroki: *slurping noodles*

Bakugo: -_-# "My mouth still tastes like dirt."

Izuku: *picking at the broken remains of the polymer on his wrist* "..."

swashbuckle: there ye'are mei! ^^

Mei: "GRUNKLE!" *runs up to him* "OH MY EDISON, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT ALL!"

Iida: -______- "Oh, God, it's two of them..."

swashbuckle: yargh? these be yer friends?

Bakugo: *snaps the hospital food tray in two*

melissa: *waiting outside david's room*

All Might: *in his weakened form* "..."

melissa:....i guess he told you, huh?

All Might: "...Melissa, I'm sorry. If I had been honest, maybe...maybe your father would've known and...This is my fault."

melissa:.....uncle might.....i need to ask you something....it's about izuku...

All Might: "Melissa, I--"

melissa: your quirk and his......they're one in the same....arent they?

All Might: "..." *sighs* "I never told your father because I was afraid if he understood the qualities of my quirk, it would put him, and you, at risk."

melissa: please i-......i just want to know the truth.

All Might: "..." *sits down* "..." *pats the seat next to him*

melissa: *sits down*

All Might: "...I was born without a quirk."

melissa: !!!!???

All Might: "Growing up, I saw what heroes could do--how they helped neighborhoods, cleaned up messes, saved people. But I also saw the wickedness of people with evil hearts. I wanted to be a hero...but back then, I didn't think you could do that without a quirk."

melissa:....

{rebecca: melissa, sweetie.....it's not your fault that you dont have a quirk...}

{young!melissa: ....}

{rebecca: you're still always going to be our special girl.}

All Might: "I just thought...if one person could make a difference...if one person could save just one life...Maybe what people need are role models...Symbols. Pillars of the community. Gosh, I looked up to her..."

melissa: ??

All Might: "...My predecessor. Nana Shimura."

melissa: *listening*

All Might: *small laugh* "I was pretty annoying back then--not like now where it's more boisterous." ^^; "I kept talking to her, trying to explain what the world needed...Heroes can't just _do_ something. They _are_ something. They stand for what is right. And sometimes, if you want to get the bullies of the world, the cowards, to back down...You got to show them how confident you are, with a smile." *forces a smile* "I asked her...to lend me her power."

melissa: so then her quirk....

All Might: *holds out his hand...a small glow appears on the palm* "Was passed onto me, like it was passed onto her...and her predecessor...and so on...and so on...One for All."

melissa: and izuku's quirk...is the same?

All Might: *nods* "I chose him to be the next Symbol of Justice."

melissa:.....i think you chose just the right one for the job.

All Might: "...Thank means a lot..."

melissa: *nods* *glances at david's door*......

All Might: "..." *pats her shoulder*

melissa: i know....he had good intentions....i just......im scared.....nothing's the same anymore.....i havent felt this helpless since mom died....

All Might: *hug* "Melissa, you're not alone. Your father is a good man. I will do whatever I can..."

melissa:...r-right.

-elsewhere-

giran: *on the phone* uh-huh....uh huh......i see.....i'll tell 'em. *hangs up* welp, wolfram's dead.

TV: *sighs* "What a waste...Still, more and more opponents for All Might bring us closer to the next step of his inevitable fall."

giran: and most of the others were arrested, but mizuiro and hino managed to escape thanks to kurogiri. and the teacher from that school said that mizuiro's kid's training is complete and is ready to graduate.

TV: "Hmm...I think it would be good to have a chat."

giran: shall i schedule the touching family reunion?

TV: "Proceed."

Phoenix Villain: -_-; *controlling one of her flamebird heads like a puppet* "So, what do you want to do now?" *imitating a voice for the flamebird head* "I DON'T KNOW. I'M NOT FEELING TOO WELL--I THINK I GOT A FEVER! CAW!"

liquid villain: *phone rings* yes? !!!!! really!? o-ok! i'll be there soon! *hangs up* hold on, namie, papa's going to be there soon.

himiko: hehehe~ they're silly.

Twice: "What a bunch of weirdos. LIKE YOU'RE ONE TO TALK!"

banshee: um, kurogiri? i think we have a situation. the puppet's acting stranger than usual...

shaula: he just started going bear-zerk.

shaula: i saw the opportunity and took it.

mimeca: D8>

PlushFix: "YO-YO IS IN TROUBLE! I KNOW THOSE SYMBOLS ON THAT GIANT SPACE JALOPY! NO ONE HURTS YO-YO--BUT ME!!!"

himiko: what's he talking aboooout~?

PlushFix: "I'm putting in my 2 weeks notice--I'M GOING ON VACATION!!!"

tomura: bye.

PlushFix: "Fuck you too, handy! Mist Man, see you soon! Lizard Stain, have a good one. Creepy blood girl--cut the sugar! Shaula, my bro--Smash is coming, we're doing online play, you hear me?! Kinuta--"

kinuta: yeah?

Dabi: -_-# "This used to be a normal place...Comparatively normal."

Muscular: "Can we just get on with killing some heroes?"

magne: soon soon, dears.

Dabi: "Hmph. I'm getting tired of feeding that brat. Didn't we get enough blood out of her? Or did she use it all up already?"

magne: she's still hanging in there.

Dabi: "She better...I don't like it. She's too quiet."

Hani: *sitting with other Council members* "I do not think it is an understatement to say this is a disaster. Not only do we learn 2 of our leading scientists were attempting to steal prohibited technology, but we were attacked by not one but two separate villainous organizations. Tell me...How did this happen? Why didn't security catch this?"

council member: it's likely that the first group disabled security and the second took advantage of the situation.

council woman: i-island along with tartarus prison are some of the most secure places in the world. if villains can break in here, then....

Hani: *nods* "I find it hard to believe those thugs could operate a microwave...Could Shield have disabled _all_ security on his own? One building, yes. But those Fear Factory monsters..." *sniffles* "I'm sorry."

council man: this is concerning....

Council Member 4: "I recommend a more extensive investigation...including people who came here, like those UA students."

council member 5: do we continue with the expo as planned?

council man 2: well cancelling now would be a huge loss of funding.

Hani: "...I say we continue." *wipes her eyes* "We are a beacon of hope to the world. We cannot let it be extinguished by the feats of small-minded fools."

council member 6: and what do we do with the shields?

Council Member 4: "We can't let them keep that tech or spread knowledge of it, that's for certain."

council woman 2: i vote we suspend mr shield's research for a year, as for melissa, she had nothing to do with the crime itself other than helping to stop it.

Hani: "...I want to look over the tech personally--figure out how to disable it completely. And I'll speak with Melissa."

council man 3: well, most of the headgear was destroyed upon the villain's demise.

Hani: "Even the tiniest piece is a threat--imagine the damage someone could do it they figured out even one centimeter of it."

Dazai: ^^; *opens the door*

atsushi: ...say, kunikida...do you think he's getting better?

Kunikida: "Has he been arrested since we arrived?"

atsushi: that's not what i meant... i mean, better as a person? given everything that's happened, i think he does have good intentions, in his own way...

Kunikida: "...He's a former member of the Port Mafia. He has disobeyed orders and bent the rules numerous times. He went around us and worked with that maniac, almost getting us killed, plunging the city into chaos...I don't ignore his value to the Agency. I remain cautious about his ulterior motives."

atsushi: .....

Kunikida: "You've spent a lot of time as his apprentice of sorts. What did you think?"

atsushi: well, i still think he does mean well, even if it's unorthodox.

kyouka: oh?

Dazai: "Yep. ...Then Chuuya smashed it."

kyouka: ....i see...

Dazai: "Yep...Granted, that was after I screwed up his mission."

kyouka: come to think of it, i think they had snack machines at the mafia HQ, but kouyou never really let me near them.

Dazai: "Keeping you on a healthier diet?"

kyouka: more or less, yeah. i only ever really got sweets on rare occasions.

Dazai: "Over tea for some fancy stuff?"

kyouka: yeah, and during festivals like moon viewing.

Dazai: "...She really pampered you at times."

kyouka: .......

Dazai: "Must've had some charm to it..." *leans back against the vending machine, having a chip*

kyouka: i guess there were a _few_ good memories back there....but i dont regret my decision to leave.

Dazai: "...Atsushi came in at the right time to help with that."

kyouka:...he really looks up to you.

Dazai: "I know...Surprising."

kyouka:....what is it you're trying to achieve, overall? with atsushi, akutagawa, all of this...?

Dazai: "..." *knowing smile* "I'm just improvising as I go along."

kyouka: .....

Dazai: "As for Atsushi, he seems to be coming along nicely, yes?"

kyouka: he has gotten stronger, yes. in a way, we all have.

Dazai: "True...How have you gotten stronger?"

kyouka: i feel my connection to demon snow has improved.

Dazai: "Snow seems to be like your nanny now..."

demon snow: ~i can hear you, you know.~

kyouka:...*light chuckle*

Dazai: "..." *offers a chip*

demon snow: ~i have no mouth, therefore i have no need to eat~

kyouka: i feel like i can understand what she's saying...just a little bit. kind of like a gut feeling, you know?

Dazai: "I see..." *nom* "These external abilities are fascinating."

kyouka:...what do you think 'no longer human' would have looked like?

Dazai: "Hmm...Probably inhuman, as the name implies."

kyouka: hmmm

Dazai: "But it hasn't manifested, so, you're stuck with me~"

kyouka: =A= wheeee.

Dazai: *gasps, clutches his heart* "You wound me!"

kyouka: how unfortunate. *noms pop tart*

Dazai: -_-; "At least mourn for the deceased..." *nom*

DEATH CITY DAYS CHAPTER 27

love’s a crazy, crazy thing, my peeps

Arthur: "What does the envelope have inside?" shinra: *he looks and blushes a bit* !! um.....oh.... tamaki: *she looks* the envelope just says 'to shinra kusakabe' Letter: "Whenever I see you, my heart dances. I want to be with you. I'm the kind of guy who brings flowers, would treat you like you deserve to be. I hope I'm not out of chances. Some might say that I'm too late. I'm just a boy, asking you to love me." shinra: *sweats* ummmmm..... miwa: whats going in in here? shinra: !!!!!!!! *he eats the letter* tamaki: O_________O shinra holy fuck. Iris: "Um...If you wanted more fiber, I could grow some more vegetables..." -at the 3rd- ryuuko: commander, there's someone here asking to be recruited.... Relan: *weak wave* mikami: ...... d-did your eye get burned too? Giovanni: "...Qualifications? Skills?" ryuuko: ?? *she looks at relan* Relan: *to Mikami* "N-No! My vision is perfect! Um...I think that's a qualification...I'm persistent. I can keep up at tasks...I can reach items on the highest shelf?" Giovanni: "That's not a very good haircut--hides your face--" Relan: "I WILL CUT MY HAIR, SO LONG AS I STILL LOOK ATTRACTIVE!" ryuuko: ..... mikami: Q-Q Giovanni: "...You're a looney, child." ryuuko: commander.... -_-; Relan: Q______Q "But I need this, sir! I want to help someone!" ryuuko: ?? Relan: "I-I want to protect someone! I want to get stronger for them!" ryuuko: ...i think i understand that feeling. *she looks at mikami* Relan: *gets down on his hands and knees* "Please let me join the 3rd!" Giovanni: *wheezes, looks around at the others* officer: do you have any ignition abilities? Relan: "N-No...I can do this--" *pulls out a matchbook, takes a match, strikes it--and it doesn't ignite. Tries again...and again...* officer: sir, its quite alright if you dont have any ignition abilities, hell the battalion commander of the 8th doesnt have any ignition abilities, and he gets by just fine. Relan: Q_Q "You mean...I can join?" Giovanni: "But I intend to work you ragged.. ryuuko: *sweatdrop* Relan: "I won't disappoint you, sir!" Giovanni: "Worst case, I get a new guinea pig." ryuuko: commander! Relan: (nervous laugh) mikami: i-its ok....c-commander giovanni might be scary sometimes, but im sure he's very nice when you get to know him more....*small smile* Relan: "I hope so...I'm Relan." mikami: i-its nice to mee you mr relan. m-my name is Mikami, and this is Ryuuko. Relan: *small wave* ryuuko:....*nod* a pleasure to meet you. the barracks are this way. Relan: (follows) "How long have you been here?" ryuuko: it feels like a year, maybe longer? Relan: "And you, Miss Mikami?" mikami: ryuuko and i joined around the same time. we've actually known each other for a long time, even before joining the brigade. Relan: "That must be nice...I mean, to know someone before joining." ryuuko: *she smiles* do you have a reason for joining the 3rd? Relan: o///o "Um...It seemed like the right thing to do -_-because...to get stronger for someone..." ryuuko: .....ah. Relan: ("Maybe I can be someone worthwhile for him...") "So...What's the first thing I do in training?" ryuuko: for now, i suggest getting moved into the barracks and resting up. tomorrow you'll be placed in where the commander things you will be the most useful, be it in infantry, research department, medical bay... Relan: "Well, I kind of read a bit...Not sure I know as much as you all about brigades and flame beings..." mikami: well....w-we'll try to help you fit in as b-best as we can. Relan: *smiles* "Thanks, Mikami." -at the 8th- shinra:................ Akitaru: "You okay?" shinra: yeah....just thinking... Akitaru: *nods* "Working, school, and everything here is a lot to have on your mind." shinra: yeah.....hey...can i ask kind of a weird question? Akitaru: "Go ahead." shinra: what do you do when someone seems to really like you, like, really _really_ like you, but something about them makes you feel uneasy? Akitaru: "Hmm...Well, if they have said something about really liking me, I'd say I'm not interested, and if they don't take the hint after that, I would avoid them--and if you can't, have someone with you to be safe." shinra: i guess that would make sense.... i mean, he seems pretty sincere and harmless, but given all the stuff that's happened recently, with joker and the hooded people, im a little on edge....besides, im still figuring things out on the inside, if you know what i mean... Akitaru: *smiles, small pat on the shoulder* "Yeah. Take your time to figure it out--there's no rush." shinra:..... -shinra explains the situation- shinra: i feel kind of bad for lying to him like that.... Akitaru: "But he also was giving you a bad vibe...And if he finds out you aren't at the 3rd..." shinra:....*trembling* Akitaru: "Hey..." *rests hand on his shoulder* "You're going to be okay, alright? I'm going to assign someone to chaperone you for a bit." shinra:...*he smiles weakly* Akitaru: "You are incredibly brave, Shinra--thank you for telling me all of this." shinra:....*hug*....y-you wont tell my grandma about this...will you? Akitaru: *hugs* "No, I won't. I promise." shinra:....thanks..... *he stays in the hug until he finally drifted off to sleep* Akitaru: *picks him up and puts him in his bed* -morning- Akitaru: *making breakfast* nozomi: *helping out* nayumi: *also helping out* sayu: morning everyone! tamaki: morniiing. Iris: *waves, as she sets plates* "Everyone sleep okay?' shinra:....yeah. misora: mmhmm~! Arthur: *yawn, tries to find a chair* "So much more crowded here now..." maki: it feels a lot less lonely now. *she smiles* Takehisa: *finishing a grocery list* "Indeed..." -at school- Izuku: "Hi, Shinra! How are you?" shinra: doing good. you? Izuku: *rotates his shoulder* "Alright. Just recovered from another small injury." shinra: ah. -in class- Stein: "You'll be doing group work in class today. Please open your books and finish the assignments on page 124." stocking: *turns the page* -seems a few new faces have joined this class- Kid: *looks at some new students* "Hmm..." -one of the new students was a girl with her hair in a side pony-tail- Kid: *twitch* ("Asymmetry...") girl: ...*taking notes* Kid: "What is with her hair? I mean, who is she?" liz: *shrug* i think i've seen her around a few times... i think she's in class 1-B in the hero program? Kid: "A hero who cannot achieve perfect balance? She has a long way to go..." liz: ..... *sighs* (thinking: so do you, apparently....) Stein: "Okay, time for your next assignment: you will be working in teams of two to give a class presentation--" Bakugo: "Arg...Great. Getting stuck having to drag someone else's sorry ass through an assignment." Stein: *glare* liz: ...... Stein: "I've written assignments onto slips of paper, two slips per assignment. Come down, grab a slip, once everyone has theirs, you'll know who is your partner." *holds up a jar...in the shape of a Lord Death skull* -after everyone gets their paper- stocking:.......... O_O .....you are kidding me..... liz:....huh..... momo: seems we'll be working on the assignment together, tokoyami. mina: *peeeks* ooooh! ochako you're working with todoroki it looks like! ojiro: ashido... ^-^; its not exactly polite to blurt that sort of thing out... Ochako: *waves at Shouto* Tokoyami: *stares at Momo* "Yes." Bakugo: "Who the hell is Itsuka?" ‘side tail’: um, that would be me. Itsuka Kendou, from class 1-B. nice to meet you. *she smiles and holds out a hand* Bakugo: *just staring at her hand, then at her...slaps her palm with his, like a clap* itsuka: .... ^^; well, lets try to work hard together, ok? Monoma: *stink eye at Bakugo talking with Itsuka* "Why did the teacher pair those two together?" student: beats me, man. Izuku: "Actually, we all picked numbers, Monoma, so really it was just by chance--" Monoma: *stink eye at Izuku* "My question was rhetorical!" tsuyu: yikes. liz: sheesh, whats eating him? Patty: *opens her mouth* Kid: *slaps hand over her mouth* "Don't." -at lunch- Bakugo: *struggling to find an open seat in the cafeteria* "Damn this crowd...Can't find any place to sit!" eijiro: oi! katsuki! *waving* Bakugo: "Oh, Kirishima?" *sits across from him* "Hey." eijiro: heard you got paired up with itsuka kendou on a project. Bakugo: "Yeah. This is so stupid. I'm probably going to have to do all the work." denki: or maybe not, from what i've heard, she's pretty hardworking. she's kind of like the 'big sis' of class 1-B. Bakugo: "Class 1B? That's hardly impressive--those students barley register." denki: .....!!! *alarmed at someone watching them* Bakugo: "What's with you?" denki: owo *sweats* so did you heard about what happened to that guy kishiri in the movie theater? pretty hilarious stuff right there! Monoma: *STARE* Bakugo: "No, what happened to that jerk?" Monoma: *creeping closer behind Bakugo, who doesn't notice, while Denki can see him* denki: apparently he sat right on his soda, and it looked like he peed himself! Bakugo: *small laugh* "Moron. And he wonders why people think he's--" *LOUD BREATHING* Bakugo: "???" denki: *sweats and short circuts, fainting* awawawawawawawawaaaaaaa Bakugo: "...What the hell got into him?" Monoma: *is now over Bakugo's shoulder, breathing* Bakugo: -_-; eijiro: um....hi? Monoma: "So, these are the oh-so-powerful Class 1A?" *looks at Denki* "...So impressive." denki: *frothing at the mouth* Bakugo: "...This loser is not representative of the entire class. Who the fuck are you?" Monoma: "Neito Monoma is who the fuck I am!" Bakugo: *glare* Monoma: *glare* *GLARES INTENSIFY* eijiro: *takes denki to the nurse* ???: what is going on here? Bakugo and Monoma: "This jerk is looking at me mean!" itsuka: *CHOPs monoma* honestly neito, i expected better from you. *she smiles at katsuki* sorry about him. Bakugo: "??? Um, yeah, sure. Thanks?" Monoma: T_T itsuka: since we'll be working together, did you want to hang out after school? Bakugo: "You mean, to start work on the project?" itsuka: yeah. *she smiles* Bakugo: *shrugs* "Might as well: sooner it's done, the better. See you at the front of the school?"

And this is your decision--that you get to take all the time you want. You don't even have to date anyone. This is your life and no one else's. But be honest, even if that is to say 'I don't know.'" shinra:....i really dont.... Iris: "..." *covers her face* Hibana: "Then that's all you do know right now. Be patient with yourself, and don't take crap off of others. I'm sorry for being so abrupt when I got here...but I do think you have to be honest with Iris and this boy that you don't know right now." shinra: ......*he nods* Hibana: *hugs him* "You'll be okay." shinra:....i should say something to iris- Hibana: *lets go* "Go on..."

Just a joke after Shinra helped me earlier today." *forced laugh* "Um...How about 'Salamandastron'? It means 'Mountain of the Fire Lizard.' Kind of fiery, right?" mikami: how about 'Buttons'? Relan: "Why 'Buttons'? I mean, that's cute..." ryuuko: i agree, it's adorable. Relan: "..." *holds the rat in his hands* " 'Buttons.' Does that name work for you?" buttons: ^w^ Relan: *smiles, puts him on his shoulder* "Okay, Buttons it is!" mikami: *she smiles* im sure we can find a cage for him to live in...
