Fumikage Tokoyami woke with a start when he heard a noise. it was simple, a quick knock that enraptured him, drawing him to a standstill as he listened closely. The sound of footsteps shuffled over to the door as a familiar voice spoke up.
"Who goes there?" Tsuyu asked and another voice spoke up to answer, a cheery male one. "Reliable, endearing, bubbling, exceptional loveable travelers."
Tokoyami stayed laying on the couch as the sound of a lock turning and the pop as the door opened as voices rose up in greeting.
"Mademoiselle Tsuyu Its nice to see you again!" A higher pitched voice spoke and Tsuyu giggled.
"Aoyama I've been doing well. Kirishima and Shoji how are you doing today?" Tsuyu asked
"Doing well, man I can't wait to just hang out, Point Echo is running low on supplies and with the influx of Dark Kind in the area its been getting harder and harder to get to them. We might have to tell Itsuka and her squad to move." the voice known as Kirishima spoke.
"There is a distress signal at Delta Landing." A gruff deeper voice spoke this time.
"Are they okay?"
"Ishiyama-sensei should be able to handle it, his quirk allows him to bend cement after all. An abandoned city is right up his alley." Kirishima spoke.
"I'm more worried about the two with him. Mister Ojiro and mademoiselle Hagakure are still novices at this." Aoyama shared.
"Ishiyama wouldn't allow anything to happen to anyone under his care. Any incident that happens he will solve." Tsuyu said.
"Sorry but I'm going to the cellar, I was tasked by Hawks to check on the thing in the cellar. Be up in a moment." Kirishima said, the sound of feet shuffling away and a faint noise of a door opening signaled his exit.
"Speaking of incidents. Anything happen here. Living here must be lonely." the gruff voice spoke.
" Don't worry about me. I enjoy this type of thing anyway. I wouldn't want to bunk with Bakugou who would interrupt this serene scene. Someone passed by but they didn't find this place fortunately." Tsuyu announced and Mezo chuckled.
"That's reassuring. Come, give me a hug." he asked and Fumikage heard the sound of feet walking over.
"Thank you for being here. It would have been troublesome to find you missing." Mezo sighed.
A startled cry forced Fumikage to bolt from the sofa to see a six-armed man with cover over his face. The arms had encircled Tsuyu and had trapped her in his embrace, two of the six arms were covering her mouth as she screamed.
Next to them was a boy with a sparkly demeanor. However, at this moment his eyes were wide open in shock and his mouth open issuing a strangled cry as a black object protrude from his body. Behind the boy was a creature whose entire being was black save for his hair which was silvery white.
The floor was slowly pooling with blood as the sparkly boy quickly lost color.
"Tsuyu!" Fumikage cried out, hands outstretched as if wanting her to take his hand. The six-armed man was crushing her. He was trying to kill her.
"Liar!" The being in black said and surged forward.
Fumikage felt anger course through his body as he saw his host suffer before him.
Fumikage gave an outcry of rage as he felt shadows swirl around him.
"A darkness quirk against me! Outrageous" The man in black roared and he melted into darkness.
Fumikage felt a force punch into him, stopping him in his tracks.
With a grunt Tokoyami struggled as something ran rampant within him.
"I am the master of shadows, you cannot simply best me!" The shadowy figure taunted. d
"Fumikage! Allow me to run rampant, I can show this person his place!" Dark Shadow urged
"Never!" Fumikage Tokoyami screeched and he struggled as shadows rose up as if to consume him.
"Please! I want to save you! I want to help you!" Dark Shadow urged
"You've never wanted to help me! You only wish to take from me!" Fumikage argued within his mind, his eyes wandered over to Tsuyu, The gracious girl who allowed him into her home and sheltered him for a day.
Why did it have to be like this? Was it because that he arrived that she was now in danger? Was it because the darkness had cursed him with bad luck? Would it be taking another friend from him?
Darkness shrouded his body, tightening, strangling, engulfing. Fumikage grit his teeth as he fought against it but it rose ever so slightly.
Both of them were going to die. What could he do to stop it? What was in his own power?
"Fumikage please! I want to help you! I want to help you!"
"Enough! You've only taken from me! I wont allow you to take another friend!
"I won't take your friend! I also want to help her. Allow me to help, if not for you then at least for her!"
These words caused Fumikage to pause. Help her? Would he really help him protect Tsuyu, the girl who had helped them in his time of need.
"Will you really help her?"
"I promise you that I will help her. If I fail I promise I won't bother you ever again" Dark Shadow solemnly swear.
"Dark Shadow! Rise!"
Fumikage felt the shadows around him struggled before falling still.
"What!" The shadowy man exclaimed, the shadow expelled forward as the shadows that were once under his control eventually morphed into a bird-like existence.
"I am Dark Shadow! I will protect thee!" Dark Shadow roars and he goes forward, slashing the Shadow Man.
The Shadow Man gave a cry of pain in which he called out "Shoji" in which the six-armed man, who was probably named Shoji shouts "Kuroiro!"
Fumikage rushed forward, Dark Shadow taking the vanguard and he scratched at the Shoji, to which the guy detached two of his arms from strangling Tsuyu to block, Fumikage took the opportunity to duck underneath arms and sucker-punch the guy in the face.
Tsuyu then elbowed the guy and she pushed out of his grasp for the two of them to retreat back.
"Thanks!" Tsuyu coughed.
"No problem!" Fumikage panted. The drain from allowing Dark Shadow to rampage was making him lose focus.
Fumikage squinted as black started to shroud his vision. Shoji growled as Kuroiro formed next to him. "Two on two, I believe we have better odds"
"Not on my watch!" a voice shouted out, and a spiky-haired red head boy jumped out of nowhere and slams Kuroiro, who dissipated into the shadows. The spiky-haired man then slashed at Shoji who caught the blow. Tsuyu quickly extended her tongue and struck Shoji in the head, so that he let go, for the spiky hair boy to slash across Shoji's chest.
"Fall back" Shoji grunted, and he dashed out of the door into the wilderness.
"Crap... to think he was a traitor!" the spiky-haired man cursed. Tsuyu rushed over to the man on the ground, and Tokoyami Fumikage proceeded to faint on the spot.
