Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!
StrikerTj; Thanks very much!
D N Works; She's not wrong, but she's not right either, as Miki said, they chose to do that. Maybe, maybe not, who knows. Yeah, Endeavour and Daisuke had a moment of showing their real emotions, something both would find rather difficult. Reaper truly was yeah. Quite scary yeah.
ShadowUzumaki55; He is yeah, Hana is seeing her faults, and is trying to make amends, however way she's going to do that. Miki met Aki, and we did see something to do with his Quirk. What it fully is shall be revealed in the future. That's Yami for you, she can twist the truth to make it quite a bad thing, but leaves out some other things that counters her arguments. Kenji does want them all to be happy, as happy as they can be. Haha, Katsuki and Shoto are trying their best. Momo's going to be quite integral to this. Yup, the raid is going to begin next chapter!
KarmaChaos5; Misaki did feel worried, but Kenji helped her feel better. They did yeah, the cousins of Kenji are trying their best, whike Hajime and Aki are wondering more and more about them. Geten seems to be trying hard huh. Katsuki and Shoto are progressing in their own way quite well. Momo's assistance is going to be quite appreciated~ Nejire and Kenji shared a moment, explaining a bit more about their shared history. Thanks to Himiko, they managed to find it~
Silver crow; Glad that you liked it. No worries~ Yes, we'll see how strong, or weak, they are in the coming chapters. Not really, it showed he didn't care by looking away, engaging would show that he cared. It is sad yeah, but it's the reality of these kids. Aki's Quirk, could be a teleportation one, or something that appears to be like that but is something else. We'll come to what it is in the near future. Hajime says it how it is. Kenji seems to have that book now yeah. Haha, their interactions are fun huh. He did yeah, Daisuke acknowledged what he did might not have been for the best, and is trying to repent for his sins now. It's like how Mirio has his Hero Outfit made so he could use his Quirk with it, it's the same basic principal here, it's been shown in the past with Kenji's, and Reaper's costumes. We'll see what happens with that. Kenji's aiming to be a Hero, he wouldn't want to brutalize someone unless he truly had no choice. Because he's working with Yami, we've seen her doing things similar to what Overhaul's done. Next chapter we are, just one or two things that need to be addressed before getting into it. We'll see what happens with Gentle, if Kenji has any involvement with them at all or not. Maybe one day he will be recognized as such. Not really, since while Mirko's awesome, Daisuke's teaching them different aspects of being a Hero. Maybe she will appear, who knows. For the Unique Devil, I'd probably change it so Rias wasn't the master, maybe Serafall, or even Ingvild for a change. Yeah, that sounds great for Half Breed. Looking good for the Vampire Oc. I like either of those peerages. I don't think it would be so bad since Rias had three for her tournament along with the strongest Evil Dragon and Vasco who's currently the strongest Holy Sword wielder, at least in terms of pure power, so it wouldn't be so bad to have four. Yeah, those ideas sound great for this story.
Chiaki Forever; She was yeah, but Kenji helped her overcome it. The cousins of Kenji surely are trying quite hard huh~? Kenji's a realistic person, he knows the boundaries, and while he wishes something's were different, he knows that something's have to be the way they are to keep people safe. Katsuki and Shoto are trying their hardest~ Momo's going to be key yeah~ He does care about Eri quite a bit. Yup, he helped Nejire out with her worries~ They have found him, and next chapter, they'll be doing the assault.
Infinite Love 14; Thanks for the suggestions! Yeah, that sounds pretty good to me! I could see that happening!
Guest 1; It could be one or both of those, can't reveal about it yet, but it will be shown quite soon. They're derived from Kenji's Quirk, each have a sort of aspect of it, with other Quirks being added onto it.
guest; Haha yeah~ I'm glad you like him. I don't know, I just came up with the concept one day and thought it would be cool to write about him like that. Eventually, Momo's Mom and Kenji will have a conversation. Something like that. I don't really have a favourite ship, I like writing the different dynamics between different characters. Sakura could be helping out yeah.
Guest 2; Maybe he could yeah, depends when we get there, and what might happen with Twice. Maybe they could yeah, I like Gentle and La Brava.
Eavise; Those are pretty good ideas, I do like the esper one.
Guest 3; Kenji could take their Quirks, maybe give them to others, or something like that.
Guest 4; Top ten, that's quite difficult to answer as it changes quite a bit. I suppose that My Hero, DXD, One Piece, and lately I've been enjoying Black Clover. Of course I also love Naruto, Bleach and Dragon Ball, mostly shounen action series, though I do like slice of life anime as well like Haruhi. I hope that answers the question, I don't know which order my favourites would be in, as that changes, but I do still love all of the series I've mentioned plus a bunch of others.
Well, with those lovely reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!
Preparations complete!
With the night looming in, after Kenji had explained to Sir Nighteye and his Father about what was happening with Chisaki, he went back to the dorms, knowing that very soon, they'd be going to go and get Chisaki.
Thoughts about what could happen ran around in his mind, about many different things. He knew that it was only a matter of time before he'd come face to face with Chisaki, and end it once and for all.
However, he also thought about Irina, and how she was feeling right now.
So he went to go and find her.
Walking through the dorms, he eventually came across Irina sat out on the roof, something that she had done as a kid. He moved forward, jumping onto the roof, and sat down beside her, with Irina showing a cute smile on her face.
"Hey little bro, something going on?"
"Chisaki's location...it's been found."
Irina's face curled into a mixture of determination and apprehension at the same time.
"I...I see, so we're going to be going there rather soon, huh."
Kenji nodded strongly.
"Right, we'll be going there in the next day or so. Dad's attempting to find Yami, and knowing how resourceful he is, it wont be too long. But you know...I know what you're going to say, but I'll say it anyway. Irina, about Chisaki...he's going to try and make a grab for you if he can and we don't know what kind of powers Yami has loaned to him."
Irina could see the worry on her little brothers face.
Even she was worried.
But she also knew that she had to do this.
"Thanks for the concern Kenji, but I can't run away from him anymore. You know, when I was in the League, all I did was follow his orders. All For One's. He ordered me to do things I hated, he turned me against the family I cared about, and thanks to him, Chisaki came into my life through that idiot Tomura. Now that I have the chance...I wont run away, not again. I will fight and watch as Chisaki is taken away."
"I thought you'd say something like that. Even then, I'll make sure that he's taken away Irina, I'll fight as hard as I can to take him down."
Irina gave a humble smile.
"Tokoyami-kun...he's worried about me going on this mission."
She revealed as Kenji gently overlaid his hand on top of her own.
"Yeah? I'm sure that he is. He cares about you. Is he, going to come on the mission also?"
"He wanted to...but I know that Chisaki would try and capture him somehow. I asked him to believe in me this time...Tokoyami-kun is strong, I believe he very well could fight strong Villains. But I also don't want him to be kidnapped or killed...kind of like Aunt Hana and her children. Mom's gonna have to deal with that, Yami might use them as shields if she gets desperate. I can't have Tokoyami-kun being placed in that kind of danger. So, he's going to be doing something else to help out during the mission."
"Maybe it's for the best. I also believe that Tokoyami-kun is rather strong, though Chisaki and Yami might have planned for his strength so I think that you're doing the right thing by doing something like this."
Irina hugged her knees to her chest.
"I hope so, I really do."
Kenji could clearly see that she was worried about Tokoyami, and the others, and could only reassure her that everything would be alright.
"Haaaaah! Haaaaah!"
Kenji heard a new noise coming from below, so he looked to see that Sakura was casually punching the ground and destroying it with her strength. Wincing at the sight before him, he pulled his neck back in and turned to Irina.
"It seems that Sakura is also pumped for this fight."
"But, you feel guilty about her going into battle anyway, right?"
Kenji didn't deny what Irina had said.
"Maybe you're right...but, she's made her decision, and she's a very strong person. I know that she can do this...still, I have to worry about her. Even then, I'm sure that she'll be able to help in this fight against Chisaki."
"Hehe, maybe she could make Chisaki fall for her rather than me~"
Kenji showed a disgusted face.
"God no, I'd never let him even go near her. Never mind falling in love with her."
Irina let out a small giggle, placing her hands in front of her chest.
"Awww, you're becoming such a cute Dad huh~?"
"D-Don't tease me like that..."
Irina continued to giggle, and poked his cheek gently.
"Maybe I just find you delectably adorable when you're doing these things little brother."
Kenji just gave her a curious look as she continued to let out a cute laughing sound.
He was glad that she was beginning to feel okay again, and now that she was ready for the fight.
The next day, with Eri feeling as if something was going on, had secretly met up with Naoto who gave a shy look to the smaller girl. Eri looked around with a childlike expression on her face as if she was trying to keep a secret, then she turned to Naoto who seemed rather confused.
"E-Erm...Eri-san, why are you…"
"Ken-chan...Ken-chan is doing something...and it seems like Ken-chan is worried..."
"Y-Yes, Papa is worried about something..."
Eri moved closer.
"Naoto-kun, is Ken-chan in danger?"
"I...I don't know, Papa tells me not to worry about it, so I followed what Papa had said..."
Eri cupped her small hands together, expressing her worry on her face.
"If Ken-chan is in danger...then Ken-chan wouldn't want to say...maybe...maybe we could do...something...a-aren't you a ninja Naoto-kun?"
"N-Ninja? I'm not a ninja..."
"But...I heard Naoto-kun a-also can fight Hero's...r-right?"
"...I was made to fight strong Hero's yes...but, Papa said that I didn't have to fight..."
"...I don't want to fight...but I don't want Ken-chan to be in danger either...Naoto-kun, we have to-"
"What are you two doing?"
Eri and Naoto froze when Misaki said that, entering the room they were both in.
Putting her hands behind their backs sheepishly, they both replied "Nothing." something Misaki wasn't convinced about.
"Anyway, you two shouldn't be in a closet together, people will get worried if they can't find you. Dad will become worried, so come out of the closet please. It's breakfast time anyway, it's time to get some food."
"Y-Yes big sister..."
Naoto walked out of the closet, with Misaki glancing at Eri.
"Eri-chan, is something the matter?"
"...Misaki-chan, do you know about Ken-chan?"
"Erm...what about Dad?"
Misaki seemed confused. Was Eri aware of something that Misaki wasn't?
Eri pushed her small hands together, and looked on with a strong will.
"I-Is he...I mean, Ken-chan's been so busy..."
"It's because he's got Hero duties to do. Even though he's a student, he also is apart of an agency currently. If you're worried about Dad being a Hero, and fighting, then you really shouldn't be that worried. Dad is quite strong, he can handle it."
"But..."
Misaki bent down towards Eri, and gently petted her head.
"Honestly, you're too young to worry about things like this. Leave that to Dad, and the others. Just worry about yourself for now. If Dad was in any danger, then he'd have his friends and family to help him out."
"But...we are Ken-chan's family too..."
Misaki pursed her lips.
Hearing that they were worried, Misaki knew that Kenji would be worried about them as well, so she tried to smooth it over with them both.
"...Yes, but you're still quite young Eri-chan, and Naoto...well, even if he's already fought before, it's still too dangerous. Please leave it to the Hero's, and let them handle anything that might be going on. Nothing might be going on."
"...But, if Ken-chan is...Misaki-chan, do you know about...someone called Chisaki…?"
"Chisaki?" Misaki mimicked, showing a confused face. "Erm...well, the name does sound familiar, why?"
Eri shuffled in place as Naoto hugged the wall behind Misaki, listening into the conversation.
"B-Because, Ken-chan and Irina-chan...they saved me from him...and I don't know why...but Irina-chan has been acting...weird, and she's been a bit quiet...and Ken-chan's been busy while looking really serious...what if they are doing something...with Chisaki..."
Seeing Eri becoming more agitated, she gently embraced the young girl.
"Now, now. Don't fear the worse. You should always expect the best, and plan for the worse. At least that's what I've heard before. And even if it is this Chisaki...didn't Dad and Auntie Irina get out of their before? Couldn't they defend themselves?"
Eri nodded shyly.
"Y-Yes, but even then..."
"You're also forgetting, if they were going after him, then they'd be doing it with a number of other people. Dad, if he is, wouldn't tell us because he wouldn't want to worry us about it. Because I'm sure that if he is, then everything is going to work out okay. If you want, I can ask Dad to speak to you, and you as well Naoto." Misaki said, glancing behind her to see Naoto looking on shyly. "He wouldn't want to worry you both, so how about it?"
Eri shook her head as did Naoto.
It seemed that neither wished to involve Kenji in their worries.
Misaki placed her hands on her hips, standing up fully.
"Then, if you've got any worries, come and ask me. And I'll tell Dad. Just don't get yourself worked up into a panic." Eri and Naoto agreed with a nodding of their heads. "Now, lets go and get some food, okay? I don't know about you, but I'm quite hungry~"
Eri and Naoto agreed with what Misaki said.
But the pair still thought about what could be going on.
Neither of them wished to be in harms way, or be hurt…
But they definitely felt as if something was going down.
Misaki herself also was worried about how they were thinking right now, and wished that she could do something...
Then as she was walking, she saw Mirio casually sat around, so she approached him...
Walking within the woods, was a man coated in purple fog, with yellow eyes shining forward. This man was known as Kurogiri.
He was searching for someone important.
He knew that this person also followed under someone else…
But he had to take the chance, and when he had heard of rumours of the man being here, he decided to come and get him, for the sake of Tomura, and what he had gotten himself into as of late.
This was something that he had to deal with.
He knew that it could be dangerous, but he didn't mind at all if he could find that person.
However, as he walked through the forest, he suddenly was blanketed in an area of darkness. The darkness was killing off the ground below him, the power eroded the fog that Kurogiri also attempted to create as well.
"D-Damn it...n-no!"
Kurogiri tried to pull away, but his back hit the Death field, forcing him down into the ground.
Wincing at the feeling, Kurogiri looked towards a figure slowly approaching.
Seeing who it was...he became frightened.
Kurogiri wasn't a man that displayed fear as much as this, but right now…
He definitely felt it.
"R-Reaper...w-why are you here…?"
His voice trembled.
He felt as if he was going to have a heart attack.
"Heh, I didn't know beings like you felt fear Kurogiri."
"..."
Kurogiri didn't know what to say, and attempted to use his Quirk, Warp Gate and teleport out of the way. But with a timed blast of Death, Reaper completely annihilated the portal, and forced Kurogiri down onto the ground.
Since he didn't use his full powers, Kurogiri was only winded from the attack.
Kurogiri breathed hard, taking out a knife, launching it right for Reaper who lightly laughed, batting the knife away from his body, and hit the ground sharply. Piercing the ground, Kurogiri felt his world crumbling down.
He didn't know what he could do against this man.
There was no way for him to win this kind of battle.
But then Kurogiri growled angrily, and stood up quickly. Summoning all of his fog around him, he attempted to confuse the Reaper, and attack from any direction. The fog circulated the Reaper, who stood on, watching with curiosity.
"I'll kill you! I'll warp your body across this land! I'll make sure that you-"
"Is this it? I thought you'd put up more of a fight...I guess your only role was of babysitter after all."
Kurogiri could only watch in horror as Reaper waved his hand, destroying the large amount of fog instantly, leaving no trace at all.
Kurogiri panicked even more as Reaper pulled closer.
"You know, you shouldn't follow every rumour you hear."
Kurogiri's breathing became laboured as Reaper bent down towards him.
"...It was you, who spread about this man...using some Hero's...as always, you're clever...even tricking myself to believe that he was here..."
"Even though you praised me, all I did was play on your insecurities Kurogiri. I am not naive, I know that my Father told you to bring Gigantomachia towards Tomura if you ever felt that he needed that power. But unfortunately for you, Gigantomachia isn't around here."
"W-Where is he then?!"
Reaper waved a finger at Kurogiri who couldn't hold back his panic anymore.
"Now, now you're becoming more agitated. That wont do you well."
Kurogiri tried to compose himself, but the way that Reaper was staring at him, he felt like he was staring into the gates to the Underworld.
"Is he...dead?"
"Maybe he is, I guess you'll never find out huh. Because soon, you'll have a nice comfy cell in Tartarus."
Kurogiri didn't know what to think about that.
It seemed as if Reaper was trying to throw him off the trail.
If he had or hadn't killed Gigantomachia, he truly didn't know.
"So...what do you want from me? Before...you take me to Tartarus?"
Reaper smirked, leaning ever closer to the purple fogged Villain. Looking deeply into the man's eyes, Kurogiri could feel himself clamming up, he felt as if he was going to take his last breath with every action he took.
"What I want, is you to tell me, where is my Mother?"
Kurogiri couldn't help but shudder in fear.
Taking him to Yami...it felt like he couldn't do it.
Betraying her in such a manner.
Reaper, seeing his apprehension, placed a hand on Kurogiri's shoulder.
"Now Kurogiri. Who are you more afraid of? Her...or me?"
Growling it out with a low tone, Kurogiri's shaking grew to a point where it couldn't be contained. He was frightened of what was happening. He didn't know which way to turn. Yami or Reaper...either way he felt like he couldn't continue, that he was going to die.
Standing beside her, Kenji watched as Momo weaved some of his hair into some clothing of the Hero's that were going to be participating in the fight. She was putting her all into it. Weaving it together, they were able to make clothing that could be used to partially protect them from Death.
Since it was quick, and they didn't have a lot of time, this was the best they could do. But Kenji figured that even if it is a simple thing like this, they'd be able to at least gain some kind of upper hand.
Momo seemed to be getting tired, so Kenji bent down towards her.
"It's alright to take a break Momo-chan, you've been at it for hours now."
Kenji reminded, seeing the young woman panting.
"M-Maybe...b-but, I can't stop yet, we're going to be doing the raid soon...I can't let the others down."
Kenji could tell that she truly was trying her best.
But he didn't want her to exhaust herself either, so his hand placed itself on her hand.
"Momo-chan, don't work yourself to the bone, you're going to make yourself tired with doing this. It's alright to take a small break, and continue on later." Kenji's words soothed Momo, who gently placed down the cloth in her hand. "There we go, it's alright to take some breaks."
"I know you're right Ken-chan, but I'm worried about what could happen if something...if something was to happen because I didn't do something..."
Kenji pulled closer to Momo, overlaying a hand on top of her own.
"It's alright Momo-chan, you've done amazing work already. Yami...she's dangerous, but I also know that she can be beaten if she's...if she's able to be taken on by a number of people. Besides, we've got a plan for her."
Kenji revealed, surprising Momo a good bit.
"A plan for her…?"
Kenji nodded, knowing that this plan was going to be difficult to pull off, but it was going to reap the most success, at least that's what they believed at that moment in time.
"Right, we've got a plan for her. She's been using various tricks and people for her own gain. But we're going to be turning that against her, and making sure that she this time is the one to know she's not in control anymore."
Momo didn't quite understand it, but she went along with it as she smiled.
"Ken-chan...I'm glad, this time I'll be able to help out more. I felt...when the League of Villains took you, I didn't know what to think, what to say. I hated that I couldn't do more during that fight...but this time I'll do my best, and make sure that we're able to win."
Kenji could see the young girls determination. It was quite amazing. Perhaps it was due to the bond that she had developed with Naoto, he wasn't sure. But it was a good thing, and if she could help this way, then it seemed as if she was content.
"Yes, we're going to be pulling together this time Momo-chan. We'll be able to succeed if we get the drop on her."
The young girl strongly nods her head, and showcases a strong resolve.
Sometime later, Kenji was walking towards his Father after being called, and was brought up to speed about what had happened.
With Reaper standing before Kenji, the elder man folded his arms with a calm expression.
"We've found her."
"Found...Yami. You've found her...how did you do that?"
Kenji asked, Reaper slowly inclined his head.
"Yes, we've found her location. Lets just say, Warp Gate can't escape the deadly claws of Death."
"Kurogiri...you managed to capture him? What about the other League members?"
Kenji wondered aloud, Reaper shook his head.
"It seems that they're still in hiding. He gave up Yami's location, but no matter what I did to intimidate him, he'd not give up the location of Tomura. He surely was programmed well to keep Tomura safe."
"Programmed?"
Reaper slowly inclined his neck.
"Yes, he was...lets just say that Kurogiri isn't normal. At least, he's not normal anymore."
"...All For One did something to Kurogiri?"
"Yes. Though I'm not sure of the extent of what All For One did without studying him further. Right now, he'll be sitting within custody until he can be transferred safely to Tartarus. Perhaps he could share a ride with Yami if we capture her."
"Can we do it though Dad? She will have planned for a raid, you know how smart and dangerous she can be."
Reaper didn't deny what his son had said.
"You're right about that, she's definitely planned for this. But we're not idiots either. She might have some strong allies, but so do we. I've got some surprises for her. There's one thing about her that she possesses that we don't."
Kenji raised an eyebrow.
"What's that?"
"It's her arrogance. She's smart yes, she's capable of fighting. But when she believes she's able to win, she gets arrogant, and sloppy. Which means that we can exploit that weakness, and turn it into our strength. I know my Mother very well, I know how to make her arrogance levels shoot up high. As long as I can push her, she'll make mistakes, then we'll have her."
Kenji truly hoped that was the case.
Reaper then continued.
"Tomorrow, we'll be going to be raiding her. Your Mother is currently making preparations, and sorting out the different Hero's that will be joining in the raid. We also are beginning to give out the equipment that Momo-san has made. At least a little bit, everyone will be fitted with Death defences. It might only slow down the damage by a little bit, but it could mean the difference between life and death."
"Then Dad, I also want to be apart of it!"
Reaper raised an eyebrow.
"And what about Chisaki? They aren't in the same place. I'm having someone I trust keep tabs on them with their...unique Quirk. Suffice to say, we can target both areas, but Kenji you need to go and beat Chisaki."
"But Dad...what about Hajime, Aki...Aunt Hana, Yasuo, and Miki...Chisaki is also important of course, but they're..."
"Heh, do you think we'd not pull it off?"
Reaper lightly teased, Kenji shook his head.
"It isn't that. I do believe that you'd be capable of pulling it off. But I..."
Seeing the apprehension within his eyes, Reaper could understand quite well what he was thinking and feeling at this moment in time.
"I understand, you want to rescue those kids. Don't worry Kenji, we'll save them. You just concentrate on Chisaki. Because right now, I believe that you'd have the power to take down Chisaki, no matter what's to come with him. Even if he turns his Quirk on high and manipulates the ground, and whatever else. As long as you remember to avoid getting touched by him, then he can't use his Quirk to destroy you. Stay at a distance, and if he gets in close, make sure to stay a few steps ahead of him."
Hearing the wisdom of his Father, Kenji appreciated it quite a bit.
"Yes...I will try my best. But Dad...please make sure that they survive, alright? They might be made to fight by Yami...she wouldn't care about using them."
"She would use kids like that after all. Even then, I'll just use my abilities to save them all. Besides, we've got a secret weapon against her. Your Mother is finishing it off now, and with the right precise timing, we'll be able to take her down."
Kenji hoped that was the case.
At least, they'd be able to stop Yami from doing something in particular.
"Dad...do you think that Aunt Hana and the others are alive…? Do you think she might have killed them?"
"No, I wouldn't say they'd be dead. At least not yet. She still would have uses for them. But, I can also see her attempting to do...either way, we'll be moving as quickly as we can. Since she's in a place that's also populated to a degree, we have to think about those civilians that need to be moved out of the way."
Kenji understood that, and also seemed to be willing to go along with what he had said.
Though he did feel some apprehension about simply not going towards where Yami was, he knew that he had to go to where Chisaki was, and put a stop to him once and for all.
Meanwhile, Mirio, Misaki, Naoto and Eri, were walking through the town, having had permission from the school, and were currently heading towards a place to get some food. Misaki looked towards Mirio who was making funny faces to Eri and Naoto, causing the pair to let out small laughs, which allowed her to relax.
When they got there, the two younger children ordered some food, and began playing an arcade game that was within the fast foods place, so Misaki turned to Mirio with a kind smile.
"Mirio-san, thank you for doing this. I'm sure you're busy, and Dad's...I mean...eeh, people are busy right now so..."
Mirio waved her off with a small laughing sound.
"No, no, don't worry about it~ It's also a Hero's duty to make children smile!"
"Yes...these children also needed to smile, since they were...worried about what could happen."
"I should probably ask this...are they aware of anything?"
Misaki placed a finger to her chin in thought.
"Erm...I don't think they know about it. Da...Kenji-kun told me to make sure that they didn't learn the truth if they asked. I also expressed my worries last night...and he told me, knowing that I was quite mature, so I could handle it, and said that I should try and keep them away from such things, knowing that he'd be super busy, and if they attempted to guess at it, attempt to reassure them if anything was happening that they'd be safe."
Mirio smiled at how despite her age, she was acting more mature than most teenagers his age would act.
"Yeah, that's a wise decision, it's best if they are kept as far away from it as possible."
"Yes...but thank you, Mirio-san."
Misaki said it with a cute smile, something Mirio had to smile at.
"We're off until tomorrow, got to save up that energy to fight! And as I said, I don't mind helping out, these kids deserve to have some fun to take their minds off their troubles."
Misaki then gave a shy look, poking her fingers together.
"Also...can I request something, please?"
"Aah, you want something else to eat?"
"No, not that. I know you're also going to be there...fighting, and my...Kenji-kun is also going to be fighting...you're super strong, Da..Kenji-kun said so...s-so could you l-look after him for me...? O-Or at least...h-help save my siblings...? I feel...I want to help more...but, I also have to make sure that Eri-chan and Naoto don't..."
"You're worried about your Dad, aren't you?"
"Yes, that's exactly..." Misaki paused, turning to Mirio with wide eyes. "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh! H-How did you know that?!"
Mirio chuckled awkwardly, seeing that others had begun paying attention to them when Misaki let out her cry.
He waved them off "It's nothing, just split some water~" to try and make them turn away.
After a few minutes, they finally stopped attempting to listen, so Mirio explained.
"Kenji-kun told me about it, along with Sir not long ago. You, Hajime-san, Aki-san, Naoto-kun there, and also, Sakura-chan as well, all of you were born to fight strong Pro Hero's...but, all of you are just innocent kids, right?"
"O-Oh, so Dad...he must trust you a lot to tell you things like that...b-but we haven't told many people yet...it would be hard."
Mirio chortled, gently petting her head.
"I'm sure it would be~ Though, when I heard about you being created like that, I was shocked. Seeing people like you, I wouldn't have guessed that at all. Sure, I recognized you looked like him, but I put that to being cousins or something. Though, I think you're all pretty cool kids~ Sakura-chan's so kind, and you're quite wonderful Misaki-chan to worry about things, but also do your part~ You keep these kids safe, and I'll do what I can to return your other siblings to you, and make sure your Dad's safe too~"
Misaki gained a wide smile, something that touched Mirio's heart.
Misaki's innocent smile, he wished to help protect that.
"Thank you, Mirio-san. I can see what Dad meant now...you're a really cool guy~"
Mirio waved his hand at her, as she continued to smile.
Definitely, Mirio was going to try his hardest for these kids.
Having received a call from Chisaki, Yami strolled into the room. Looking around, she saw that Chisaki looked...less than pleased about something.
"Chisaki, what is it that you wanted? I'm quite busy right now."
"I kept up my end of the bargain, yet you've not delivered what I wanted. You promised me that we'd get Irina back by now you hag. But she's nowhere to be seen."
Yami's eyebrow twitched.
Her eyes darkened ever so slightly as she pulled forward.
"First of all, don't call me a hag dear, or I'll rip your tongue right out of that head of yours." Chisaki narrowed his eyes. "Besides, Irina's going to come right for you, I've already got ideas about helping you gain your lady love."
"Are you thinking the Hero's will find me?"
"It's almost a certainty dear."
Chisaki tightened his hand.
"Then we need to leave-"
"You will do no such thing."
Chisaki became even more perplexed.
"What are you saying? They'll be coming for me. Are you that cocky enough to believe you can take down the Hero's? Even I know that I couldn't take them all down. My numbers are small, we cannot win."
"I thought you'd say something like that. But if you attempt to run now, then it will only leave you more vulnerable. You have to take the fight to them and make sure that you succeed. Playing on your own turf will allow you to be able to fight these kind of enemies off."
Chisaki didn't look pleased in the slightest.
"Are you mental?"
"I'm currently not classified as insane." Yami retorted with a grin, Chisaki's eyes narrowed even more. "Relax, I'm not stupid. I still have uses for you, as you do for me. So, it is in my best interest that you stay alive. That's why, I'll be lending you some of my precious creations."
"Precious creations?"
Yami let out a small giggle, snapping her fingers.
As soon as she did, Chisaki saw that some...beings appeared behind her.
Chisaki could see what they were even in the shadows.
"I always come prepared dear, it's all apart of being a good Villain. You always have to anticipate your opponents moves, and make sure you have an army to back you up. Though I'm sure your group will also help out. Remember, this is a give and take relationship. You get Irina and I get what I want."
"You really are a man woman...but, I can't deny with the current people after me, there would be no way for me to win. Reluctantly, I also have to form an alliance with you as well as that Tomura."
Yami raised an eyebrow.
"Tomura? You've got an alliance with him?"
"Yeah, I managed to get Twice and Himiko Toga to work in my organization. With their, unique abilities, we'll be able to work out quite well what's going to happen next. Twice and his cloning ability will come in handy."
"Yes, that boys Quirk is very handy indeed. I am pleased that he's apart of this, though you do realize that his max limit is two clones? Unless he clones himself that is then it is an endless amount of clones."
"Then he'll be forced to clone himself, wont he?"
She let out a cute laugh.
"I wouldn't even try anything like that. Mental trauma can't be overcome with just simple threats. Don't worry about the complicated details. I'm sure that boy will still be useful with you around. Imagine three of you...geez, that would be terrifying, wouldn't it?"
"I suppose that it would be. Either way, these...creatures better be of use."
Chisaki scratched his chin as Yami stretched her arms.
"Oh, one way or another, they will be of use. Just be prepared Chisaki, because they'll be coming sooner or later."
With that, Yami turned her neck, and began walking away.
Once she was far enough, she smirked "You fool." before looking down at her hand, seeing that a certain case was within her hand, the contents inside of it, was something that Yami truly had wished for.
Later on as the sun was going down, Yasuo, and Hana who had been trapped for a few days now, felt as if they were going crazy. They hadn't seen Miki since she was taken, all they had to go off was Hajime saying that they were alright.
"...Mom, do you think we'll get out of here?"
Hana didn't know how to answer that.
"...I don't know Yasuo. All I can do is hope that Hikari...or someone has found out about this place...they'll have to know we've been taken by now. And knowing my sister, she wouldn't rest until she's found us. I just hope it's before...before our deaths."
"...How long do you think it's going to be until she decides to get rid of us?"
Yasuo and Hana knew it was an eventuality.
It was bound to happen.
But they didn't know what to say to each other.
"Maybe we could get that Hajime-san to help us out...I think I'm gaining his trust."
Yasuo offered, but Hana wasn't so sure.
"Maybe for you...but, I don't know about me. My past actions might effect if I get out of here Yasuo."
"M-Mom, don't say that. Miki and I still need you."
Yasuo tried to connect with his Mother in that way.
But she merely kept her head low.
She thought about the situation they were in, how they got into the situation in the first place. If Hana had contributed to it somehow. She just knew that maybe if she had acted differently in the past, then maybe this situation wouldn't be happening to her right now.
"...I know. And I'm going to try and stay alive for as long as I can...but, I still feel guilt about my actions in the past. If that leads me to...well, I know that it will be my own doing Yasuo. I know that it wouldn't be anyone's fault other than my own."
Yasuo could see that Hana was in a state where it could be called depression.
She felt it deep within her body.
Even then, Yasuo wouldn't let her give up either, and expressed it directly to his Mother.
"It's Yami's fault that this happened! She's-"
"She was the cause, but I chose to carry it on. I could have simply thought and stopped myself. But I chose to blame someone that was innocent. My own sadness and rage needed an outlet...and as Hajime-san said, I chose a convenient target...I'm no better than Yami in that regard. Blame everyone but myself. Isn't that something she does also? But, if there's one thing I can do for you as your Mother, is get you out of here, and Miki. I might have done things wrong in the past, but this time...I'll make sure that you get out of here."
Hana's declaration brought a tear to Yasuo's eye.
But then a small laughter could be heard coming from the parting door.
"Nice speech." Yami announced as she came inside. "It is true that I'm quite the cold hearted woman. I wont deny that. Though I think that we're still different because, I say it how it is. You can only say that to children."
"I realized that!"
Hana argued to Yami who shrugged.
"It seems you realized it too late. That's not my fault after all."
"...If you came here to just speak nonsense to us, then perhaps you could at least listen to my words now about my son and daughter." Yami raised an eyebrow curiously. "Please...I know that you hate me. And I'm fine with that. But my children...please, you have children too, grandchildren as well. Can't you find it in your heart to...just please let them go? I'll do anything in their place...you can even kill me..."
"M-Mom, no..."
Yasuo tried to persuade her.
But Hana had already made up her mind.
"Yasuo...sometimes in life...especially when you have children, you have to make sacrifices. Some are big, and some are small. This might be my biggest gamble...but, it's the last thing that I can do. I can't fight this woman and save you both...I can't do anything other than this. Please try and understand...that I do love you, and Miki. But a Mother...in this situation has to do something, and this is what I can do. If I die and you get to live...then I'd make that sacrifice for you."
Yasuo by now was in tears.
It truly did show that Hana was changing as a person.
Sacrificing herself for her children, it was beautiful, at least Yasuo thought so.
Yami was taken aback for a few moments, before exhaling slowly.
"Awww, how sweet. An epiphany before your end."
"M-My end?"
Hana didn't even know what to say about that.
She felt scared while Yami grinned.
"I came to tell you that tomorrow, we're beginning the process."
"P-Process? Process to what?"
Yasuo almost didn't want to know.
But Yami revealed it regardless.
"Your process into becoming a Nomu. Hehe, there's something called a High End Nomu, so Hana-chan, I thought you'd be rather perfect to become a High End. With your Quirk, along with the others that we're going to give you, you'll become quite strong. Then I'll send you off to fight your sister. Indeed it does take time to create Nomu's, but if you're patient dear, then you're going to become really strong in a fight. Then you'll surpass your sister in a fight, something you've thought about before, right? I'll give you that hand dear."
Hana and Yasuo gave fearful eyes.
Yami just showed her dark expressions which frightened even the most battle hardened ready person.
So for someone like Yasuo, and Hana, they truly were terrified.
Come tomorrow, Hana could become a Nomu.
Sitting within a lab, Kenji and his Mother Hikari seemingly were doing some kind of experiment. What that entailed, was top secret to only those two, and a few others. Hikari was the main person carrying out the experiment, but Kenji was able to help out with it due to him having a bit of knowledge on what she was able to do.
"...Hmmm, with this, I think we might have been able to complete it..."
"Mom, doing things like this...do you think it will work?"
Hikari furrowed her eyebrows.
"I believe that it could work. With the data on these...things, along with what I believe is how they're used, it will give us an edge on how to win the fight."
"Yes...but Mom, I also must say..."
Hikari turned to her son with a light smile on her face.
"Yes dear?"
"You're...being very strong right now. After everything that's happened...if it was you who was taken from me like that..."
Hikari gently overlaid a hand on his shoulder.
"Well, being in this family, it seems you have to have tough skin. But don't sell yourself short either, you would thrive, you survive and become better from the experiences you go through. While I am worried about the outcome tomorrow...I know that Hana, and the others are resilient and will hold on until we get there. That's what I believe in right now. That damn Witch Yami...she's going to be in for a shock when we reveal our trump card to her."
"Yes...I'm sure even she would be surprised with this." Kenji looked down at the item on the counter before them. "A small thing like this has the potential to do such great evils or great goods, depending on how it is used."
"Tomorrow, it's going to be a great good, Kenji. But also remember...while your Dad and I wont be there with you tomorrow, regarding Chisaki...give him hell, okay?"
"Mo-Mom, you're sounding more like your younger self there..."
Hikari showed a wicked smile.
"Sometimes the Monster has to come out of retirement after all. Tomorrow, Yami's gonna know that it's not wise to mess with the Monster of U.A. All Might learned it, Endeavour learned it, your Father learned it, now it's time for Death Bitch to learn about it too."
Kenji had to admit that his Mother's strong side could be inspiring, and also a little terrifying.
He knew that when she was like this, he wouldn't want to mess with her, no one would.
Hikari then heard a small beeping noise, so she turned to go and get what had just finished.
"Seems like the preparations are complete. One last test until tomorrow...then we'll be using it."
"Right, lets get to it Mom."
Nodding at her son, Hikari and Kenji continued doing what they were doing, a surprise just for Yami to hopefully help stop her once and for all.
Getting in last minute training before the assault tomorrow, Kenji went towards the location that Gigantomachia was in. First of all, he was being attacked by Gigantomachia who came down with a hard strong fist.
Kenji used his Quirk to propel himself backwards, avoiding the worse kind of damage, only for Gigantomachia to appear above him, ripping out a tree, and swung it down towards Kenji's body who returned to the ground.
"Haaaaaah!"
Shooting off a good deal of Death energy, he ripped right through the tree, and continued on, slamming deeply into Gigantomachia's body, forcing his body backwards ever so slightly, but Gigantomachia carried on, swinging out his arm, dispelling the Death energy with that simple attack, though Kenji could see that his Quirk had penetrated the body of Gigantomachia.
Pulling backwards, Kenji went to unleash his Life Quirk to bind Gigantomachia, but the giant quickly dashed for Kenji, swinging down his fist so fast that Kenji could see the air bending around his strong fist.
"Shield!"
Using his Quirk, he created a shield in the air of Life, with Gigantomachia's fist smashing against it so hard that the Life shield was fractured in many different places, but he managed to hold Gigantomachia back long enough to place his hands on the ground, unleashing his Life and Death on said ground, and causing it to bend around the large man's feet, holding him down into the ground.
Though that only held off Gigantomachia off for a few moments, it allowed Kenji to charge up his Death Quirk, allowing its power to grow more and more, using his Life Quirk to offset the damage done by the power.
"Here we go, have this Gigantomachia!"
Using his Quirk, Kenji shot off a large amount of Death energy that swept forward, and pushed against Gigantomachia's upper body as he crossed his arms, forcing his arms backwards, with blood leaking out of Gigantomachia.
The giant even falling backwards, almost being knocked over while Kenji looked down at his hand. Though he did feel some pain, it was a lot less than
"A-Ah, I'm sorry Gigan."
Apologizing to the giant, the giant looked at his arms, then began crying.
But they weren't tears of pain.
They were tears of overwhelming joy.
"Master's power has grown so strong! Master, I'm so happy right now!"
Kenji lightly smiled at the hulking giant.
"Thanks, Gigan."
"Master, are you going to be fighting?"
Kenji wasn't surprised that Gigantomachia was able to discern that from how Kenji had been increasing the training in secret.
"Yes...I'll be fighting tomorrow."
"Then I shall join Master in a fight!"
"N-No, I couldn't..."
Kenji trailed off, as he began thinking about something.
How Gigantomachia seemed to want to fight for him.
Though he couldn't bring him to where Chisaki was, the outcome most likely would make things worse due to the giants size.
"But Master, I should be beside you and fight strong enemies! Together, nothing could beat us!"
Kenji gave the hulking giant a wondering look, knowing that he could crush most opponents. As long as Gigantomachia got off the first attack, Chisaki would be beaten in one blow. But he also knew that something else was happening as well.
In the end, he knew it would be too risky to involve Gigantomachia right now.
But at least he could gain some more quick training from him to increase his power.
He had a feeling he was going to need it tomorrow.
"Haha, I'm sure that's true. But for this, I'll have to deal with it on my own. As you have expressed to me before. I have to show the reason why I can be called All For One's Grandson, right Gigan?"
"Yes Master! If Master is fighting, then I am sure you will do amazing!"
Kenji had to admit that it felt oddly reassuring that Gigantomachia had said that.
"Thanks Gigan. I guess that tomorrow, is going to be a hard battle. But I will succeed."
Gigantomachia clapped his hands together a single time, with the air suddenly blowing some of the trees away. Kenji grimaced at the clap, seeing how strong Gigantomachia truly was, and he kept growing stronger.
"Yes, I am sure Master can do it!"
"I'm glad that you have confidence in me, Gigan."
Kenji smiled out.
Thanks to this training session, Kenji knew now that he was ready for what was going to come about next.
The meeting for the raid had begun.
Or rather, the private meeting for the raid had begun. Sir Nighteye sat along with Hikari, and Reaper as they discussed what they'd be doing next. Hikari looked uneven as Daisuke entered the room.
"Oh, it's you Daisuke-san. What are you doing here?"
Daisuke cocked his head to his Father.
"I was asked to come here by my Father."
Sir understood as Daisuke sat down.
"Alright, now that Kurogiri gave me the location, and I've checked it out for myself to be a legit thing, confirming it with Hikari here myself, we're going to be splitting off into two teams tomorrow. Raiding both the Shie Hassaikai, and also, raiding Yami's hideout."
Hikari nodded, turning to Daisuke.
"Daisuke, I'm sorry to ask this...but, I have to go for my sister. Could you...overlook the invasion of the Chisaki hideout?"
"You want me to overlook the Shie Hassaikai? I'm not against it. You just make sure that your sister and her kids are safe."
Daisuke said it while running a hand through his hair.
Hikari wore a relieved smile.
"Yes...with you there, I'm sure that everything will be fine. But also, Izuku-kun will be there...it's a small chance, but Yami might make a play for him, or Kenji while we're raiding the location that she's in."
"Don't worry about me, it will be fine. If she shows up, I'll hold her off. If Kenji, Izuku and I team up, even she would be repelled long enough for you guys to appear. Though I am sure that it wont come to that. At best, she might send a clone."
"A clone...yes, she does have that Twice who can clone himself, and others. How many clones can we predict that she'd bring?"
Sir asked Reaper who folded his arms seriously.
"I can't tell you. It depends on how she uses him. I know that he can create two clones. But, we've seen she's had more than that in the past. If anything, I'd say that she's either made his cloning Quirk hers, or a Nomu has that Quirk, and allowed her to create more than two. But we currently don't know if she used the Quirk Enhancing tech she received on I-Island or another unknown method. Either way, it's something that we'll have to deal with."
Hikari pursed her lips.
"We'll also be rescuing my sister, her two children, and also...those two boys, Hajime and Aki. If they're there, then we can save them at the same time."
"I'm surprised Kenji didn't want to go."
Daisuke admitted.
He thought that he'd be the first to sign up in this kind of rescue mission.
"No, he did." Reaper replied. "But...I know that it could be dangerous...besides, he has someone else to defeat." Alluding to someone else, Reaper continued. "Begrudgingly, he accepted it, with the promise from myself to rescue those two kids. So, I'll be doing my best to do that. With Myself, Hikari, and a few others I list off, I believe that this would be the best formation that we can do."
Sir looked towards Reaper, trying to measure what he was truly thinking, but found it rather difficult to do something of that nature.
"...Though I'm not pleased about it, I do acknowledge that your power is needed for this fight. Anyway, with you and Hikari-chan going, we'll have to sort out the other Hero's going to which location. It will be a sweep, catching them off guard. But also, we'll have Hero's evacuate the areas close by just in case, especially at the place Yami is. We can't know what she's truly thinking about this time. What lengths she'd go to."
"Though, Sir. What are you going to do?"
Reaper's question caught Sir off guard for a few moments.
"...You mean, am I going to confront Yami?"
"It's alright if you don't want to. I know that she tortured you, so if you're worried about her, even scared, then it's a normal reaction. You don't have to be worried, I'm sure that we will be enough to handle her."
Sir Nighteye looked down at his hands, and scrunched them together, the thoughts of what Yami did entered his mind several times.
"...Honestly, I am reserved about being in the same location as her. I'll make my decision soon if I will be more necessary there, or to deal with Kai Chisaki. Either way, lets make sure that the groups going are fully prepared for everything."
"Yes, everyone at least is going to have some form of protection against Death thanks to the efforts of Momo-san and Kenji."
Hikari added, with Daisuke folding his arms.
"Truly, this is going to be quite the showdown."
"Yes...then tomorrow, it seems that the raid is going to begin."
Reaper said it seriously, with the others agreeing strongly.
Whatever was going to happen tomorrow, it was going to be a day to remember.
Late at night, Kenji had met up with Himiko once more, and began speaking about what was to happen the next day.
"...So it's tomorrow then?"
"Right, the Hero's will be going. I'm not sure exactly who is going yet, but I know that at least myself, Irina and Deku-kun are going to be going there. Apart from that...it's anyone's guess really. I'd also say most likely that people such as Nejire-san, and...Ryukyu-san I believe would be going."
"What about Dad? And your Mom?"
At Himiko's question, Kenji revealed what would be happening with them as he placed his hands on his hips.
"Well, they've found Yami. They'll be going there tomorrow as well."
"A two in one raid. It seems dangerous. Especially going after Yami...God knows what's going on with her, and what she might be doing."
"It's the only way that we can do it. Getting the drop on both at the same time so the other can't rush to their assistance. Of course we also are aware that they've probably beefed up their security as well as gotten some creatures...Himiko-chan, I saw combined people the other day when following you. Do you know about them at all?"
Himiko cocked her neck upwards.
"Well...I do know that they posses relatively weak Quirks. They can use each of them separately, and they aren't all their upstairs if you catch my drift? They shouldn't pose that much difficulty...though it seems that the humans strength have combined, so they're stronger than average. But I don't know about all of their Quirks."
"I see...yes, it does connect to what Chisaki was doing a little while ago. Kidnapping relatively minor Villains to work under him."
"However, I do know that Yami also lent him something's..."
"Something's?"
Kenji's question was met with a shrugging from Himiko.
"I don't know what they are. Humans, Nomu's, I'm not sure. Chisaki's keeping it close to his chest. Even other members of the Shie Hassaikai don't know what they are either. So it must be something dangerous."
"Well, we knew it was going to be dangerous going up against both of them, and they'd be supplying each other with their powers, or allies. But since we're going tomorrow Himiko-chan, it might be best if you-"
"No freaking way, I'm staying there."
Kenji blinked a number of times in confusion.
"E-Excuse me?"
"You heard, I'm not going to be sitting it out. If Kenji-kun's gonna be there, then I am too."
"But, it's going to be dangerous. If Chisaki decides it, he could turn on you and..."
Himiko silenced him with a smile on her cute face.
"I know that you're worried about me. But I've been trained by Dad, who like totally knows all of these fighting moves, I know how to handle myself in a fight."
"...I know that you can, but I still worry that if something happens..."
Himiko took his hand in her own, pulling closer towards the young man.
"You're cute to worry about me Kenji-kun. But as I said, I can handle it. I wanna see Kenji-kun kicking the crap out of Chisaki, so don't worry your cute head about me~"
Kenji thought she'd say something like that.
But he still was apprehensive about it, so he produced something that looked like a grenade.
"You want me to bomb him?"
Himiko joked, Kenji gave her a curious look before shaking his head.
"This has my Death Quirk inside of it. Throw this at someone, and press this button here for a few seconds until it begins to glow, it will deal a good amount of damage. I had Mei Hatsume-san make it for me."
Himiko placed her hands on her face adorably.
"J-Just for me? That's for me?"
She almost couldn't believe it.
Though gaining a present like this made her quite happy.
"Yes that's right, I thought it would be best if you had something like this. Also, this as well." Kenji produced a vial that continued his blood, which Himiko began to drool over. "Have this, and if any Hero's come near, and I'm not with them, then you can protect yourself by turning into myself."
Himiko's face curled upwards at the sight before her.
It truly did make her feel good that he was not only giving her a bomb of his Quirk for protection, but also some of his blood.
That made it feel amazing for her.
Taking the vial of blood, Himiko placed a hand on her blushing face.
"Honestly, I'm not sure that I can drink it~ I'd treasure Kenji-kun's blood too much~"
"Treasure my blood...huh."
"Yes, that's right, Kenji-kun's blood is the best to taste, so doing something other than admiring it would be difficult for me. But if I need to...I'll sacrifice this blood, and make sure that I can survive to be with my darling Kenji-kun~"
Kenji cocked his head.
While sometimes he didn't understand Himiko's mentality.
He was rather pleased that she seemed happy enough so that was enough for him.
"Then, please keep it and be safe. Just be ready for tomorrow Himiko-chan. Whatever happens, make sure you're able to get out of there."
Himiko saluted the young man.
"Yup, leave it to me~"
Kenji smiled at the young woman. He was glad that she was ready, and though he didn't believe it was ideal for her to be there, mostly because he didn't want anything bad to happen to her, but he did believe in her abilities, and that she'd be able to survive no matter what.
Standing within her private lab area, Yami glanced at Daruma who stood close by.
"Lady Yami, with the imminent danger looming, would it be safer to move away from this location?"
"With the current set up, I think it would be best if you went towards the location the High Ends are."
"But, what about this stronghold? It's true that only a select few are here..."
"The High Ends that aren't ready need to remain safe, for when Kenji begins taking over the League."
"Lady Yami, I also believe that he'd be suitable, but do you honestly think that he'd take over the League now? After everything that's happened, I can't see him wanting to ever do something like that."
Daruma posed his thoughts to Yami, who went into a deep thought.
She then placed her hands behind her back.
"It's true that it will be a difficult thing to achieve. What I truly wanted is for my Grandson who grew up like I did, to have a better world than I did. Always being prosecuted, always being on the run...never being accepted by anyone...that kind of world is a sickness. Chisaki got one thing right, there is a sickness in this world. But it isn't Quirks that are the sickness. It's the people behind those Quirks. There's only a select few people that deserve to live in this new world. So, for a better world to be achieved, a great evil has to be committed. Wasn't there a saying that goes like...the brightest light casts the darkest of shadows? Something like that, makes sense to me. This world has bright lights, but there are always going to be shadows. So to answer your question...yes, once I've done what I need to do, I'm sure Kenji will take over the League. Sacrifices have to happen after all."
"I see...Lady Yami, I'll believe in you as did All For One."
"Yes...my dear husband. He placed his trust into me to accomplish this task. I remember before he got captured, he told me that it was a high possibility, and that I'd have to continue on. He saved me, he gave me love...I'll return that kindness and make this world better, then when it is, he will be able to come and enjoy it with me...as we watch our dear Grandson taking down the sicknesses of this world, starting with those damn Hero's who keep getting in my way. Speaking of, I wonder if Sir Nighteye would be up for fun? We didn't get to obtain his Quirk last time, but seeing the future is something I would want. How about it? Shall we obtain that Quirk?"
Daruma showed a strong smile on his face, as Yami gave a cheery smile.
"As always, you make me smile. Along with All For One, I would consider you as my closest friend."
Yami gave a soft smile.
"Yes, you also. Thanks to you, my husband was able to continue on..." As she spoke, she suddenly began coughing as Daruma got close, placing a hand on her back. From her mouth, a bit of blood was coughed up. "...shit."
"Lady Yami, please sit down. Don't push yourself too far. Your body..."
Yami waved off his concerns, sitting down and breathed in and out slowly.
"This body of mine...as long as we get the necessary components, then this body of mine just needs to last a bit longer. That's why my friend, I need you to complete it."
"Complete it, Lady Yami? Are you sure you wish for me to be away from you?"
Yami showed a resolute smile on her face.
"Right now, we have no choice. This location might be found, so you need to make sure that the High Ends are ready, along with what I wish for you to do. To live in this new world, I need you to complete the perfect specimen. With the data we've gathered...yes, it will be perfect."
"...Understood, leave it to me Lady Yami."
Yami placed a hand on top of his own, and gave a gentle smile.
"Thank you, old friend. With you and I pulling things behind the scenes, we'll get the desired results. For both of those boys. As they say, the brainy destroys the brawny. Hero's aren't all their up stairs if you get what I mean. Just look at their current Number One. Endeavour, feeling inferior to a piece of crap like All Might, abused his children, talk about being a loser."
Not realizing, or perhaps not even caring, about the hypocrisy of her words, Yami giggled like an elegant lady would.
"I still don't know how I feel about Tomura Shigaraki. But it seems that both you and All For One believe in him. So I'll believe in you."
Yami showed a content smile on her face, she seemed ready.
"Yes...lets believe in those boys. Now, just to make sure it all goes off without a hitch."
"About Chisaki..."
Yami showed a disgusted face.
"That arrogant little neophyte. He's gonna get what's coming to him. Attempting to step into an adults world when he's still a child in the game of Villains. The only good thing about Chisaki is his Quirk and those bullets. Apart from that, he's a nuisance that I hope my darling Grandson kicks the shit out of. The other good thing he's useful for besides his Quirk and the bullets, is the combat data on the current Hero's, and also, that Izuku Midoriya, as time goes on, I've become a little more interested in that boy."
"So, you think he's worthy of that Quirk?"
She showed a disgusted face.
"God no, I just appreciate that he's better than most of the other twerps that had it. Remember that damn Black Whip guy? God he was annoying. Then there was that Nana Shimura...ugh. I still am gunning for him to pass that Quirk onto my Grandson, and I will do, anything to make sure that the powers passed on, even if I have to torture him endlessly. Breaking people isn't hard to do when you know what buttons to press."
Yami and Daruma began laughing together in their creepy manner.
Whatever their plans were, it seemed that they were ready to go at anytime.
But listening in, were Hajime and Aki.
Hearing what Yami and Daruma were planning to do...continued their thoughts on how Yami truly was, and what they could do about it.
Laying down in his bed, Kenji looked at the time, seeing that it had just passed five in the morning. With the sun soon to rise, he knew that this day, was the day that Kenji was going to be fighting Chisaki...and hopefully reuniting with Aki and Hajime, along with his cousins and Aunt.
He went to look at the time once more, when Katsuki took his hand.
"K-Kacchan you're awake."
Katsuki lightly smirked, leaning up and gently kissed him on the lips.
"Naturally, I saw last night when we went to bed that you looked to be unsure about something. I heard about what's happening with that damn Chisaki from your brother. Are you worried that you'd not be strong enough?"
Kenji didn't know how to answer that.
He truly wasn't sure what to think about it.
"I suppose I don't want to make a mistake. One mistake, and it's all-"
"Ken." She stopped him with that single word. "You can kick his ass from here to America. You're strong, show this bastard exactly why he doesn't mess with the Mikami's. Also give him a swift kick for me. Preferably in the balls. Or if you wanna erase them out of existence with Death, I'm pretty sure Irina would be alright with that."
Kenji let out a small laugh at that.
It was quite like Katsuki to do something of that nature.
But also, he was slightly surprised that she seemed to know about what was
"Kacchan..."
Katsuki smirked, and brushed lips with the young boy.
"I do know that you can do this. Show this bastard exactly why he can't do this, for Eri, and for yourself as well. Overcome him, and make sure that he's stopped for good."
"Yes... I definitely will do it Kacchan, I'll make sure that he's beaten once and for all. I might not have One For All...but, I have my Father's, and Mother's Quirks blended into me, I can achieve this...I can win this fight."
Kenji replied with a strong voice, knowing that he'd definitely would have to do it.
Katsuki also saw his resolve, he truly did mean it if he was showcasing this strong smile of his.
Then sometime later, it came about, the time for them to go was then and there.
Kenji received the message, so he stood up from his bed, and prepared himself for the fight ahead.
One way or another, it ended today.
End chapter!
So, we got Irina and Kenji bonding in this chapter, promising to defeat Chisaki, and preparing for the fright ahead. We also got Reaper tricking Kurogiri into revealing himself, and having Kurogiri through...a method, reveal where Yami was, so some people will be going after her which they had a meeting about, seems that Daisuke is also getting in on the action.
Eri and Naoto expressed their concerns over what was happening with Kenji, and Misaki tried to relieve their worries, but it still seems that something is going on with those children, and went to Mirio for assistance, who revealed knowing about the kids and their origins.
Momo and Kenji shared a moment between them, along with Kenji also made sure that Himiko was well equipped for the fight, giving her some blood, and a bomb of his Death Quirk which has been shown before.
Hana also expressed her full desires to seek forgiveness and the desire to protect her children anyway that she could, even saying she'd die to keep them safe, showing the progression of her character.
Yami also seems to have a genuine friendship with Daruma, and vice versa, but it also seems that something might be wrong with her body since she's coughing up blood. It's been hinted at in previous chapters, but this confirms that there something indeed is going on inside of Yami, and what she plans to do about it...we'll soon be seeing.
Next chapter, begins the raid on Chisaki, and Yami. We'll be seeing a number of battles happening with a variety of characters as we go through the raids, some that might even be surprising, so until next time, thanks for reading!
