Sarabii's attack was utterly useless against the monstrosity that was Tseki. He felt his body crumbling apart from the gravity pulling on him from all directions, not even able to put his fist against the body of Tseki. He then knew what he must do, and darted away. Azanai's lungs let out their last breaths of air. His vision vanished and he suffocated under the weight of the stone.
As he felt his senses fade, he was wide awake again, as though he was dreaming. He was back in the Astral Chamber again, with the guardian of the gates standing guard as usual. Feeling extremely frightened by his latest experience, he struggled to get back onto his feet. The guardian began speaking to him.
"Died again, I see."
"..."
"Something wrong?"
"I'm not staying here anymore. I'm going home. That... that thing is going to kill me. You saw what it did to Sarabii."
The guardian chuckled. "Good luck with that. It's impossible as of now."
"Wait, what? How come?" Azanai asked.
The guardian explained, "The only door that can take you home is between the other doors. As you can see, there's nothing there right now. That's because you must close those doors before revealing the third door."
"Okay, how do I close them?"
"The doors are being held open by the AP being outputted by the two sources of intense power inside of either door. You might know them as the individuals Sarabii and Deku."
"So, how do I stop the AP output?"
"By killing the source. Only when both individuals are dead will their AP cease to exist, and the doors will vanish."
"...Oh. So all I have to do is kill them?"
"That's not all, however. The are many times stronger than you as of now. You need to increase your own AP in order to cease theirs. It won't be easy. All of their subordinates will get in your way and try to stop you form fulfilling their orders."
"So, do I have to kill all of them as well?"
"No, their microscopic AP signatures don't have any effect on the doors."
"Alright then. What do you expect me to do about Tseki, then?"
"I'm not here to make you stronger. All I can do is tell you that Tseki in his present state could not be defeated by the brute force of everyone on that planet as of now."
"Alright. I suppose I'll just have to do all I can."
"Then, step through into the next world."
Azanai walked through the blue door.
He was standing in the middle of the arena at the back of the hero agency. he didn't see anyone nearby him. He felt something extra in his pockets that wasn't there before. As he reached into it, he pulled out some sort of electronic pair of glasses with a note attached to it.
"These glasses are extensions of my quirk. It'll allow you to measure more practical things while in combat, and provide useful information on your foes. Not only that, but it will give real-time analysis to anything you see. They automatically activate and are hidden away behind your hair when not in use, so don't worry about them ruining your look.
- Kuta"
Azanai didn't expect such a generous gift from such an odd person, but that didn't make him any less willing to accept it. He put on his gift and looked around. It seemed that his glasses performed real-time searches for everything he focus his sight on through the hero agency's database. He pulled out his phone and checked for notifications. He'd gotten one from the Hero Agency informing him of a solo mission that he'd have to perform against an immediate threat that would only grow stronger with time. It included the location of the threat. That notification... was sent 2 hours ago.
Sarabii immediately started blasting himself towards the location of the attack. It looked like the location wasn't endangering too many citizens, but rather took place in a more secluded location. Therefore, he needed to alert some of the other heroes. As he ran towards the location, he checked his phone for other heroes that were available. All the heroes in the area were already dealing with their own jobs. It seemed he'd have to face this one alone. He didn't want to do it without the aid of some helpful companion like Kyuzo or Miriki. However, he thought it might be a good way to test the limits of his mastery of Small for All.
His quick approach to the situation netted him an early grab at surveying the city. He noticed it seemed to be comprised of mainly streets with the occasional store on the curb. The citizens continued driving and walking on the sidewalks as usual. Of course, everywhere not occupied by a street had some sort of real estate that would take advantage of that land. That being the case... there were a lot of spaces and allies that a villain could take advantage of. Azanai would have to work in a secluded space to take out the villain that was somewhere in this city.
Azanai followed his phone's tracker between the allies. As he ran past a lone bakery, he spotted a man wearing a traditional school uniform in the allies, glowing with a purple and black flame. He stopped and stared directly at him as he incinerated a dead body on the ground below. The flames consumed the body, leaving nothing left of the man that was there before. The flames grew even brighter than they were previously. As Azanai watched, horrified by what he had just seen...
The man turned around and stared into his eyes with the intent to kill.
