Movie Special
The Hard Path to Glory Part 2
Shirahama Resort, Forest, Night
Yui and Setsuna made their way through the forest taking slow steps. The fog was thicker in this area and didn't want to bump into something."Shit. No signal." Setsuna groaned in annoyance putting her phone away."They must be jamming the signal."
"The fog is more intense here. Which could only mean that the source is nearby. Or at least, what's controlling those copies. Have you found anything?"
"Nope." Setsuna glanced at her. Half of her face was missing and her left arm too."I'm trying but I can't seem to find anything. "
"Stay sharp. We don't know if there are more enemies out here. Or your clone."
"Meh, don't worry about that too much." Setsuna shrugged it off."We don't have to worry about yours either, right? Nishikawi is taking care of it."
"Yeah..." Yui blushed at the mention of Darby's name, glancing away and hoping Setsuna didn't see that. Unfortunately, she did.
"Hey, hey, what are you blushing for?" Setsuna waggled her eyebrows."Did you and him finally make it official?" She didn't receive a response. Instead, Yui's face became redder."Oh my gosh! You did it! At it girl! I'm so proud of you!" She hugged her friend tightly with her one arm.
"Setsuna, you're embarrassing me..." Yui muttered, not resisting her gesture."I'm just worried. What am I going to tell Komori now? Darby said he would handle her, but I don't want her to get hurt."
"Relax, that's the easy par-Shhh...I see something with my other eye." Setsuna could see a man in the middle of the forest next to a small campfire. He was sitting on a rock, messing around with his fingers."Alright, I'll try to scare him into submission. He's just west of our position, so we should be able to sneak up on him if we hurry." They began jogging over to where Setsuna led them, making sure to step on leaves, and rocks to cause noise.
"W-w-w-who's there?!" The man stood up from his seat, glancing around, sweating bullets. He received no response."Maybe I imagined it...?"
He felt something poke his arm, causing his blood to run cold. He slowly turned around, coming face to face with half of Setsuna's face."BOOH!"
"AAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH" The man screamed loudly, his hair going from black to white in a moment and passing out on the floor.
"Huh. That was easier than I thought." Yui confessed, tying up his hands with her sweater. Setsuna kneeled down and slapped him a couple of times, waking him up.
"W-w-what's going on?!" The man frantically asked.
"Calm down and tell me what you're doing here? Are you the one who's provoking all this fog?"
"I didn't have a choice!" The man wailed, tears forming in his eyes."Ryuji Orihara is moving the strings! He blackmailed me into coming here and help him with his plan!"
"And you think we'd believe that?" Setsuna placed her hands on her hips.
"It's true! I'll stop the fog right now but you've got to promise me you'll protect me from that lunatic!"
Yui and Setsuna looked at each other before glaring back."Alright. You'll also tell us where our chaperon is, so she can beat the hell out of him."
"Yes, I will! Thank you..." He exhaled, releasing the effects of his Quirk."There. My Quirk creates doppelgangers who possess the Quirk of the person the copy. I can do this in areas with fog like this but...since Orihara forced me to inject myself. I was afraid of the Quirk's side-effects, so I only injected myself with a bit, instead of the full dosage."
"Then we better hurry. Where is Ashe?"
"She's in the basement using her Quirk against her will. She's the one causing all this fog. If we turn off the machine she's hooked up to, then Orihara will lose his advantage."
"Alright, sounds like a plan." Setsuna got the lanky man up to his feet."I hope you don't mind that we keep you tied up. Jusr in case."
"I don't mind. Just please...protect me..."
"That's what heroes do," Yui responded, leading the way back to the resort.
Shirahama Resort, Outside, Night
"Now!" Tetsutsu, Monoma, and Nagito tackled their copies as if they were playing football and began a struggle."Push harder!"
"I'm doing it!" Monona gritted his teeth, feeling his copy push him back.
Nagito's clone began morphing, letting the steel covered his body entirely. He now had fangs and his sclera turned black, allowing his purple eyes to glare at his original.
"Uh, Yasukage?! Can you do that?!" Tetsutetsu asked, slightly intimidated.
"Yes...!" Nagito bit his lower lip, feeling the extra force his copy was putting on him."I just don't like cladding my whole body...it makes me look weird..."
"That's your excuse?!" Monoma said, exasperated.
Meanwhile, a fight was also happening around them. Darby, in Neko Mode, was jumping from tree to tree at high speeds in order to get a jump on his clone and also dodge the objects Yanagi's clone was throwing at him.
"Let's see if you're as tough as I am!" Darby manifested 6 Black Spheres, using one as a footing in mid-air to jump at his clone.
The clone rose his hand, black matter manifesting from his side.
"I have to predict his movements! I Have to remember what Togata-senpai taught me!" Darby swallowed all the doubt he had and bent his body to the side, easily avoiding the black pillar his clone created. He got on it and used it to slide down at him as his spheres began circling around in front of him."Hado-senpai and Takashi-senpai told me to control the power input! If I use too much, I'll not only lose the form but also hurt my friends! Onyx...!"
Yui's clone stood next to Darby's, grabbing his hand.
"What the...?" Darby gasped.
The clone rose his hand, molding the black matter into an extra arm before this one grow in size.
"Oh, shit!" Darby was met by a giant punch that sent him crashing against the lodge.
"Nishikawi...!" Yanagi shakily stood up, only to meet the cold glare of her clone.
"We have to go help them!" Monoma tried to move, but his clone had a firm grip on him."
"I'd love to, but it doesn't seem that they want us to move from here!" Tetsutetsu winced, feeling his knuckled being pressed with incredible force.
"Reiko...!" Nagito yelled in concern. He felt anger and frustration run through his body and using that as fuel, he decided to go for it. The steel on his arms began expanding further and further."I'm going to annihilate you!"
Before he could go into his full form, the clones in front of them began dissipating in the air. Confused, he looked back at saw that Yanagi's and Darby's were gone as well.
"What just happened?" Tetsutetsu asked as his body went back to normal.
"I'll go check up on Darby, you two see if Yanagi is okay and put her somewhere safe." Monoma commanded, jogging to the wall where Darby was incrusted in."You okay?"
"Yeah..." Darby chuckled, taking Monoma's hand and getting out of the hole in the wall."I wasn't expecting for my clone to use Yui's clone to increase the size of his attacks."
"Yeah, about that, was your clone enhanced or something? He was doing some crazy attacks."
"Huh?" Darby's blood ran cold."What do you mean? Was your clone not enhanced too?"
"Not really. In fact, I think all of our clones were about the same level as we were." Monoma folded his arms."Maybe it was because your clone had Neko powers too? That's my only explanation."
"Maybe..." Darby trailed off, shaking the thought of out his head."Alright, we should go back inside and look for Ashe-san and the other adults. They're taking way too long."
"I'm afraid I can't let you do that, son." Ryuji Orihara sat leisurely on top of a tree branch.
"Orihara-san?" Tetsutetsu rose a brow, confused as to why the man would be up there.
"Look, his skin!"
As they took a better look at him, they noticed his skin was grey and his hair was green."Indeed. I, too, have the ability to have Neko Mode. Unlike your friend over there, I can only use the imperfect form. Oh...that form looks so beautiful..." He stared at Darby with longing eyes."The shade of blue, your pale skin and those cat ears..."
"Why is everyone always on about my ears?!" Darby covered his ears in annoyance.
"You must be the one Ashe mentioned then." Ryuji smirked."I suppose she wasn't lying after all. She really did help you achieve that form. But why are you so different? Why could you use the perfect form while I, or my comrades, could not? I wonder what sets us apart?"
"Hey, man, if you're the one doing this, then you need to stop!" Tetsutetsu's body hardened to steel.
"Originally, I was waiting for your clones to finish you off, but for some reason, Sojiro deactivated his Quirk, They must have gotten to him. And no sign of Sakura. Oh well." Ryuji jumped down from the street and stood in front of the group."
"Monoma, take Yanagi inside. We'll distract him!" Darby jumped over to his friends, taking a fighting stance as a group.
"What's his Quirk, anyway...?" Nagito asked.
"We're about to find out." Tetsutetsu clenched his fists tight."I'll go since I have the best durability out of the 3 of us. After we see what his Quirk is, we'll act."
"Sounds like a plan to me." Darby and Nagito nodded.
"Alright, here I come!" Tetsutetsu sprinted over at the man at full speed.
Ryuji snorted, taking a firm step forward. Out of nowhere, a rock pillar rose from the ground and hit Nagito on the stomach, ejecting him up in the air.
"What the hell?!" Darby gasped but before he could move away, the ground beneath him grabbed his feet via a chain of rocks."What is this?!" The chain threw him against the ground hard, creating a small crater upon impact.
"Now, as for you..." Ryuji punched the ground, creating massive fists out of rocks.
"That won't hurt me! Those are just simply rocks!"
"Simple rocks? I'm afraid no." The fists began punching Tetsutetsu repeatedly until Ryuji grew bored and slapped him away."My Quirk allows me to manipulate any type of rock. Normally, it's on a much smaller scale, but thanks to the boost I'm gaining from my constant Neko Mode, this is child's play.
"So that's what it is!" Darby was suddenly on top of him in the aIR. He phased two Black SPheres through his palm as he got closer to his back."Black Umbrella!"
Before he could reach him, another pillar rose from the ground and forced him up in the air.
"You know, I could do this all day. But it would live a sour taste in my mouth." Ryuji grabbed Darby from the throat as he fell back to the ground."I'll go serious. After all, they've got a wildcard such as yourself, right, my little Neko? Show me the full extent of the Neko power!" Ryuji kicked him away at Tetsutetsu's arms."Fine. I'll show you my power!"
Suddenly, the grow beneath them began shaking uncontrollably."One good thing about this spot, it has plenty of rocks to choose from! I can do this all day, kids!" His body began being clad by rocks as his figure grew bulkier and taller. Once his transformation had ended, they were now facing a stone golem that wast at least 3 feet taller than what Ryuji was.
"Come on then, kids, give it your all!" The gruff voice of the golem taunted them.
"Uh, I don't know if we can take that on..." Darby grimaced."What's the plan? Stall him?"
Before they could discuss a strategy, the golem was onto them. He kicked, punched, and headbutted all of them in a flash. Despite his size, his speed was still in top condition.
"Hard Shower!" The golem aimed at Nagito, shooting a volley of shards at him. Nagito covered himself as best as he could, but he was receiving cuts on his exposed areas.
"Leave him alone!" Tetsutetsu was on one side and Darby on the other.
"Construction!" The golem grabbed them with both arms and began sprinting to the woods, using them as human shields as he crashed against every tree on his way. He tossed Darby away while he kept ramming Tetsutetsu until they reached the end of the forest and slammed him on the ground.
"Tetsutetssu!" Darby cried out for his friend.
"You just don't take no for an answer, do you?" Ryuji sneered."Jet Catapult!" He threw his rocky hand at Darby, who used his Black Umbrella to shield himself as he kept running. The golem kept throwing his arms and regenerated them by gathering nearby rocks. Noticing this strategy wasn't doing much, he decided to simply remove the shield himself. He controlled the ground beneath Darby, shooting another pillar just in time for it to collide against his arms and recalling the Black Spheres back. In that second, Ryuji punched him in the gut and ran with Darby as he kept punching him the whole day, not giving him a chance to attack. As they came back to the lodge, Ryuji threw Darby against the gift shop, causing the whole place to come down on him.
"That was all the user of the perfect Neko form had to offer? Pathetic.
"Hey, you!" He heard a feminine voice call to him. Itsuka stood behind him with Monoma."Don't think we're going to let you get away with this!"
The golem simply shrugged before storming at them, unleashing a barrage of attacks. Their enlarged fists were destroying the incoming rocks, but they could feel their hands beginning to get sore.
"Just how hard are these rocks?!" Monoma gritted his teeth, fighting back the pain. Monoma punched another rock arm, only for the rock to engulfed his fist and hardening around it.
"What the hell?!" Itsuka found herself in the same circumstance. Ryuji had them both on his grip and began tightening the pressure, even more, prompting them to howl in pain as they fell their hands being crushed.
"Hey, you!"
Ryuji glared at his former companion, Sojiro had a needle in his hand."Sojiro. Where the hell have you been?" The rocks around the head crumbled down, allowing for Ryuji's head to peek through.
"What are you doing?!" Yui hissed from the side."He'll kill you!"
"Maybe. But I'm not going to let children be slaughtered while I hide like a coward." Sojiro rose his hand in the air."You want this?! Then you'll have to leave those two and come get it!"
Ryuji blinked rapidly before erupting into laughter."Oh, you're a comedian! I wasn't aware of that. You know, it's a shame. Had you only cowered in fear, I would have never bothered to look for you. So, what if I don't let them go?"
"I'll use the Trigger on me, go Neko Mode, and create a copy of yours so strong that not even the original will compare! I swear a will."
"Let's not be hasty." Ryuji lowered Itsuka and Monoma to the ground."I think I'll be happy enough to just kill you. You're of no use to me." Ryuji's stone body crumbled to pieces, revealing his real body as the rocks followed after him, letting go of the two teenagers at his mercy.
"No! Don't!" Yui cried out.
Sojiro merely lowered his head, a small smile on his face."I hope I at least bought th-" His head was cut clean off by a rock punch. Ryuji swiftly took the strange and engulfed his body in rocks."So, you had my Trigger after all? Well, at least you came and were honest about it. Now...huh?"
Down below, Yui stood, a defiantly frown on her face."You just killed him...like he was nothing..."
"Well, he was, wasn't he?" Ryuji cackled as he went full golem form."Now, I'll squash you like a bug too!" He swung his arm down, only for Yui to sidestepped and touched the arm, bringing her fingers together and activating her Quirk.
In a domino-effect style, the rocks began shrinking down, exposing Ryuji's body."What the hell?! She reduced my golem form's body to mere pebbles?! No matter! You still die!" Ryuji went for a punch but saw something that makes him freeze. Yui's eyes scream dead as she stared directly at his soul. She wasted no time, grabbed his arm and using her momentum, flipped him over her, and threw him on the ground."Gunhead's Martial Arts."
Ryuji cried in pain as he felt her twisting his hand."Not bad for a brat...To think you gave me the most trouble out of all the others. And you're just a normal girl."
"I wouldn't say normal. Tell me where Ashe-san is. Now."
"Aren't you forgetting something...?" Ryuji grinned maniacally as he injected himself with the Trigger using his free arm. Immediately, he felt his body surging with power. He kicked the girl out of his way as his body was brought back to its feet by the rocks surrounding him. He grabbed his head, screaming at the top of his lungs as his body began covering itself with rocks."With this, there will be no room for mistakes!" He concentrated a vast amount of rocks in his right hand, amazing a giant rock in his hand. With a battle cry, he threw the rock at Yui.
"Yui!" Kendo ran over to her, hugging her."Shit..! I'm sorry..." She lamented. She cursed at her mistake of not enlarging her hands beforehand. Even if she did now, she wouldn't make it.
In the nick of time, a purple blast collided against the rock, destroying it and reducing it to pieces.
"Huh...?" Both girls gasped, relieved to be alive."What was that...?"
"Oh? I knew I was missing another one." Ryuji chuckled, observing as a person landed in front of the two girls surrounded by a purple aura.
"Takashi!" Kendo cried, a dreamy smile on her face.
Takashi looked over his shoulder."Leave him to me." Was all he said as he activated his neon mantle and began running up the building. Ryuji took on the challenge and followed him as he sprinted along. As soon as they reached the roof past the tenth floor, they stood still, observing each other.
"I see. So you're the one who must have taken down Sakura. No surprise that a Kachidoki did it."
"At least you're not half as dumb as you look." Takashi shot a snarky reply."You know the value in power when you see it."
"I wonder. From what I saw at the Sports Festival, you weren't that impressive. Compared to these other kids, are you any better?"
Takashi let out a sardonic grin."You're about to find out!" Both of them jumped back down from opposite directions. Takashi began firing neon blasts at every window he found on his way down. At the same time, Ryuji threw rocks at him from his side of the building. The attacks met midway through, destroying and damaging the property further as they went down the floors. Takashi's attacks were strong and precise, however, Ryuji's attacks were only a distraction, since he had another surprise for the young heir. Before Takashi could touch the ground, he used a neon blast to propel himself inside where he was almost crushed by an incoming kick.
Takashi jumped on the walls in circles, firing neon blasts repeatedly at the golem. A giant hand grabbed him by the ankle and slammed him against the floor, breaking the floor beneath them and cause them to fall down 4 floors back to the ground to the lobby. Takashi groaned in pain, shakily standing up before Ryuji kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying back up to the sixth floor.
Not wanting to receive another direct attack, Takashi activated his mantle and ran on the hallways."Okay, normal attacks don't work on him. I'm pretty sure he broke a few ribs but I should be fine. My best shot is to get out of the building and just firing my strongest attacks, taking it down with him. That sh-" As he turned another corner, he was met with Ryuji rolling around like a giant rock and crashing against Takashi, breaking the walls and tossing him out of the window until they fell back to the ground.
"I guess you're not so tough after all." Ryuji taunted as he pushed Takashi's face further into the ground."But I do have to admit your neon color is quite good-looking. It's definitely artistic, in fact. At least, compared to your father's and sister's."
"W-what...?" Takashi muttered, passing out on the spot. Ryuji laughed in triumphs, calling for nearby rocks and debris to combine with him and increase his size. He was now standing almost as tall as the building itself, towering over the fallen students.
"I disposed of all the pests that were standing in my way. Now, to finish off Ashe, so I can have my revenge! Hmmm?" He heard footsteps approaching down below. With his clothes battered and his blue hair blowing in the wind, Darby was headed over to Ryuji.
"Oh? Still alive?" Ryuji mused, observing with slight jealousy at the blue-haired boy."You dare to show that color in front of me?"
"You've gone long enough rampaging and hurting my friends, Ryuji! It's time I put an end to this! No more games!" Darby activated his 6 Black Spheres and took a battle stance, glaring at the giant.
"Bring it, brat!" Ryuji brought his monstrous hand, but Darby dodged with ease and ran up on it."I lost speed?"
"No shit! You're a fucking giant now! You've sacrificed precious speed just for size!" Darby shifted a sphere into a disk and used it to fly around Ryuji as he tried to swat him like a mosquito.
"NOW! ONYX SCORCH 80%!" Darby screamed as he unleashed a black beam of energy behind Ryuji's head.
"Impossible!" Ryuji yelled out as the attack pushed him out of the golem. He quickly called the lower half and used it to covered his arms and push himself out of the attack."He used nature energy and shot it at me?! How is that even possible?! You damn child!" Ryuji threw his rocky arm at Darby, hitting him and throwing him down below."I'll just have to gather the nearby rocks and become a golem again."
"We won't let you!" Tetsutetsu punched Ryuji square in the face, breaking some of his teeth before he could raise a shield of rocks. Ryuji rolled on the floor, coughing up the broken teeth."Nishikawi gave us a chance by taking you out of that giant thing! We won't let his chance go to waste!"
Ryuji growled in fury, watching as Itsuka, Monoma, and Nagito stood in front of him."GET OUT OF MY WAY!" Ryuji's hands clad themselves in rocks, only for him to be pushed back by both Monoma and Itsuka punching him simultaneously, launching him against a tree.
"Don't let up, you guys!" Itsuka cried out.
Ryuji took firms steps, raising platforms beneath them and sending them flying.
"And stay down..." Ryuji rose his hands only to be slapped by a flying arm."What th-" Another slap. Setsuna's body pieces began flying around him and hitting him repeatedly.
"I'VE HAD ENOUGH!" Ryuji punched the ground with all his might, causing an earthquake as the ground began to split. More rocks replaced the ones they destroy at a faster pace. Once Ryuji had his upper body clad in rocks, he used both of his hands and aimed at the 5 students."HARD SHOWER INFERNO!" The countless pieces of shards flew at them cutting them and bruising them. Tetsutetsu's steel finally gave in, allowing his exposed body to be rained on. Once he didn't hear any screams of pain, Ryuji stopped his attack. He rose his hands in the sky as rocks flew around him, fortifying and armoring his body to create the colossal golem once more.
As this went on, Yui was hiding with Darby on the crater his crash had created."Are you ready, Darby?"
"Yeah. I've gathered enough energy." Darby nodded, manifesting a white ball of nature energy in his hand."Thanks to the others and you, I've managed to concentrate enough to gather enough nature energy. This should be plenty."
Yui nodded, helping Darby get out of the hole in the ground. They stood side by side, glaring at the raging golem."Let's do this, Yui." Darby offered his hand. Yui blushed, looking at him and staring at his goofy smile. She timidly grabbed his hand, feeling her Quirk throughout her body.
Darby gave her hand a light squeezed, raising the ball of nature energy in his hand.
Ryuji felt an intense amount of nature energy. His Neko Mode was allowing him to sense it and guide him to the source."It can't be...that ball of energy...its that technique that Ashe mentioned when she trained me! But how does he-! I have to stop him!" The golem roared, gathering all the rocks he could find and merging them in a gigantic one. He used all of his strength to throw it at the couple as a last-ditch effort.
"NOW!" Both Yui and Darby screamed. Yui's Size Quirk enlarged the attack to match the incoming rock."VORTEX ERUPTION!" Both of them cried as they fired the attack. The ball of energy easily cut through the rock, destroying it into millions of pieces, and headed straight for Ryuji.
"Damn it! I'll be completely defenseless, but I'll be able to just form a new one from the remains!" Ryuji ejected himself out of the golem, barely missing being hit by the attack.
"No!" Yui gasped, her eyes fixated on the ball of energy passing by Ryuji.
"We missed...?" Darby felt all hope leave his body but a loud scream returned it back. A purple ball of energy collided with the Vortex Eruption, bouncing it back to Ryuji's back.
"Impo-" Ryuji screamed in pure agony as the ball engulfed his body and took him high up in the air.
Takashi leaned against a tree, his hand smoking heavily."That was...my strongest blast...serves you right, asshole.."
The attack took Ryuji around in the sky before finally cooling against the ground, creating a huge explosion of energy that cleared out the fog in the area, revealing the sunrise on the horizon. Once the smoke cleared out, Ryuji laid on the center of the crater, unconscious and defeated.
"They did it..." Setsuna, who was whole again, said in disbelief.
"Well, I'll be damned..." Monoma closed his eyes with a satisfied smile.
"HELL YEAH!" Tetsutetsu screamed in victory, only to hiss in pain. Nagito wrapped Itsuka's arm around him to support her, both of them glancing at the sun.
"What a night..." He muttered, sounding drowsy.
"You've said it." Itsuka agreed."I can't believe he actually came through."
"Your boyfriend is a tsundere, Kendo..." He chuckled, taking the ginger by surprise."What? He's not your boyfriend?"
"Not that." She shook her head."You're just...laughing? It's kind of cute, actually. Maybe you should do it more. I'm sure Reiko would appreciate it."
"Why do you think I'm doing it...?" He grumbled, looking away to avoid being seeing blushing.
Darby stared at the blue sky in dazed."I can't believe we've been fighting all night. It's kind of crazy."
"Was this how you felt when the villains attacked USJ?" She placed a hand on her chest."My heart is going 100 miles per hour."
"Maybe that's because of me." Darby winked at her."After all, we are still holding hands."
Embarrassed, she pouted and fidgeted in place."I-I don't mind...your hand is really warm. It's comforting..."
"And your hand is soft yet firm. It gives me courage and strength to know I have you by my side. That Vortex Eruption was the prime example." He gave her a heart-melting grin. All of a sudden, Yui couldn't handle it anymore and tackled him to the ground."H-hey!"
"We're going to do this right." She said firmly, leaving no room for discussion.
"Right. The kiss." Darby remembered they were interrupted. They both stared at each other's eyes longing, waiting for one to make a move. Darby took the initiative and leaned closer to her face, his lips locking with hers. They didn't care if the others were nearby. They continued kissing and holding each other tightly, afraid that moment would be ruined again. When they ran out of air, they pulled back, leaving a trail of saliva connecting them.
"Uh...so when's the honeymoon?" Setsuna asked. Both teens drifted their gaze upwards, noticing their friends surrounding them with various expressions.
"Really?" Monoma shook his head."Couldn't you wait until we're at least out of here?"
"That was so cool, Nishikawi! You are the man!" Tetsutetsu cheered on.
"Enjoying your final moments?!" They heard a female hiss behind them. Sakura was panting heavily, her nails all but broken. Her Neko Mode was gone, revealing her blue hair and pale skin."Good. Because I'm going to end them right no-" A hand grabbed her by the back of the air and in a single yet swift movement, crashed her head against the ground, knocking her out cold.
"Seriously, at least I got to take some frustration out on one of them," Ashe said, lightning a cigarette in her hand.
"Ashe-san!" Everyone cried in unison."You're okay!"
"Tokage-chan helped me out a few minutes ago, but I had to take some time before arriving to compose myself. I'm completely out of smoke after constantly maintaining that fog. I'm sure you all have a lot of questions, and I'll answer them. Oh, and I've taken care of their jammer. The cops and the ambulance are on their way. Anyway, anyone hungry? I think the dining room is in decent condition."
"I don't want any rocks on my meal, thank you..." Monoma wheezed out, sitting on the floor after his legs gave out.
Bus on way to Tokyo, Morning
"So, Hoshi is alright? That's a relief..." Itsuka admitted.
"Yeah, luckily, the kid is smart, so he used his Quirk on himself and blocked the wounds to prevent dying from blood loss. He'll be fine. Ibara asked me to let her accompany him, so she went with him on the helicopter."
"What about your former students?" Asked Setsuna.
"They'll be locked in prison. Ryuji will pay for his crimes and for killing Sojiro and forcing him to come here. May he rest in peace." They all took a moment of silence."I should have known something was amidst. I never see my students once they leave my door, Darby here is the sole exception."
"Ashe-san, it's not your fault. You couldn't have known their intention." Darby said with empathy.
"I guess..." She sighed."Though deep down, I wanted that if something like that happened, I could turn them around and guide them to the right path. To at least be able to do something good in my life." She smiled at Darby."But Ryuji made me realize that I did. In some way shape or form. With you, kid. Ironic how my most talented student was the one who beat my former most talented student. Ryuji was smart, but he just couldn't achieve the perfect Neko mode."
"So why did I? I mean, he went so far because he felt you were the one to blame. Had I achieved the imperfect form, I wouldn't have cared, really. I'm sure he must have worked harder than me." He shifted his gaze around the bus, noticing his the majority of his classmates asleep on their seats. He then looked at Yui, who was sleeping next to him. She looked so peaceful cuddling next to his arm."But you know. I'm glad I do. Because I was able to protect my friends."
"Perhaps that's what Ryuji lacked. The need to protect someone dear to you. He was a loner back then, and not half as charismatic as he seemed today."
"Ashe-san, I've been meaning to ask...back when we were fighting our copies, mine seemed really off. It was doing attacks I'd never done before and used them so freely. Like I never saw ant Black Spheres on him and yet he was controlling it and morphing his attacks at will."
Ashe glared at her with a dreadful expression, as if she had seen a ghost. She shook her head."Who knows? Don't worry about it too much. We've all seen some crazy stuff tonight, I'm sure."
"You can say that again," Monoma grumbled, glancing out the window.
"You don't sound too happy, Neito." Darby gave a toothy grin."You just fought real villains. Now you're in the same boat as us from 1-A."
"You're never going to let that go, are you?"
"Nope."
"Fine." He relented, folding his arms."Say, how many people in your class failed the exams? I'm the only one in mine."
Darby hummed to himself before casually telling him."A bunch of them actually. Like 5 or 4, I forgot. Wasn't really paying attention."
"Ha! So much for the great class 1-A. As long as we have the less number of students who failed, I'm happy."
"Hey, I thought you were done being obsessed over stuff like that." Setsuna pointed out with a smile."Or are you going back to your old ways?"
Monoma snorted."Hardly. I just wanted something to make myself feel better."
The students laughed at his remark. Even Ashe allowed herself a low chuckle. While Monoma protested it wasn't funny, Takashi laid on the back seat of the bus, glaring at the ceiling.
"He mentioned color. That my color was more appealing than my dad's and sister's. But what does that mean...color..."
