As the ravenette reached the league's hideout in the evening she was feeling a little down. she can't get over the fact that she is basically kidnapping a boy the same age as her.
she entered the door to the bar and gave a shigaraki a slight nod before closing it.
"Kurogiri, warp them" shigaraki ordered pointing towards the members. The mist man nodded and opened a warp door. "Please enter, everyone" he commanded.
As illumi was started walking towards the warp she could almost feel dabi looking at her, she spared him a glance before turning back. she truly can't deal with more people than her right now, her own thoughts were currently eating her up inside.
The ravenette looked around and saw that they were on a huge mountain and all around were trees and more trees. she could already feel about forty to fifty people's presence around her minus the league.
"Alright, lets go." dabi ordered and they all split up.
"i wonder who I'm gonna find first..." Illumi mumbled as her eyes stalked around. running around, her mind was currently, set on finding another presence near her.
The girl jumped on some trees and sat down. "i'll need some concentration for this..." she closed her eyes inhaling and exhaling noisily.
Before reaching here she had already remembered the feel of all the league's members presence, so this time, as everyone here except the league is new to her, it should be easy to spot them.
Since the girl couldn't feel anyone quiet near her, she decided it would be alright to go around trying to find bakugo.
"Tch this mist is so annoying" the girl kept her eyes closed to feel any sudden movement around her.
it was already about half an hour as the ravenette suddenly felt a huge shake on the ground making her flinch and reach for her sword but then it hit her. one of the league's member was taken down, their presence was no longer feelable. 'no way..' as a dumbfounded expression made its way to her face, she mumbled.
"just how powerful are these kids?..."
The girl huffed in annoyance, she was currently very confused about who was who, she couldn't feel anything because there was this huge presence which was making her unable to think straight. The girl found it quite intriguing that these kids were this powerful to mess with her mental prowess.
the girl ran around trying to inspect this new power, she was left frozen in her boots as her eyes landed on a monster like thing going on a rampage. 'no wonder i couldn't sense anyone else at all..., this monster... Is that guy's quirk?' She stared at the boy who was being captivated by the huge dark monster.
The ravenette decided it would be best for her to not engage in a fight with a monster like that for no reason so she decided to flee but something caught her eye, it was the green haired boy, who was talking to all might that day and a guy with some extra arms who were trying distract the monster. 'idiots... those guys... they're gonna die!'.
She was astonished to see that they used the monsters power to defeat moonfish, and after that bakugo katsuki and a guy with red and white hair used their quirks to calm the monster down. The bird boy seemed regretfull of hurting his friends with his own quirk but the others didn't really mind it, and told him it was okay.
As she was staring at the boys, unintentionally, a small smile made its way to her face but then suddenly her fathers words ringed in her mind "love, affection, admiration, and friendship is something no assasin should possess. i know you understand, don't you illumi-chan? " she clenched her jaw.
'oh yeah..., i still need to get bakugo though'
The ravenette rolled her eyes and jumped in front of the boys which made them flinch and go into fighting stance.
"I wouldn't wanna ruin such a heartwarming moment between such great friends, but i have been given orders" she opened her eyes as they shined emerald green like lasers while they turned black again. she held out her katana as the smoke around her vanished.
The boy with the half and half instantly threw spikes of ice towards her which she dodged effortlessly, as a couple of leaves floated around her, she suddenly disappeared, leaving the boys to hurriedly look around them to see where she attacks from next.
"Come on... you'll need more than that to finish me" the girl whispered in the half and half's ear sending a chill through his spine while disappearing and appearing in front of them again.
"Todoroki-kun are you alright?!" midoriya asked in a frightened tone.
'todoroki...huh?'.
the said boy shook his head. "I'm fine." he threw his right hand up sending another spike of ice towards the girl.
she jumped high in the air to dodge the attack, her black hair floated as her eyes stalked around the boys. 'its five vs one, two of them are beat up' she said while looking towards midoriya and shoji 'one can't use his quirk for now' her stare shifted towards the bird boy. 'so my two targets for now are..' she charged towards todoroki and bakugo but instantly got slammed into a bunch of trees.
biting her lip, she used her sword to stable herself, The girl looked up to see midoriya was the one who did it. "Pure wind pressure.." she sighed, standing up on her feet. "You really are amaz-"
she got interrupted as from her right she could feel someone charging towards her "SHINEEEEE" He shouted before making an explosion from the palm of his hands. "Kacchan!" Midoriya shouted. To their surprise, after the attack as the black smoke around her faded away the girl was completely fine. "I don't get paid enough for this shit-... oh wait I don't get paid at all..."
"Unfortunately my sword flew off...but i guess that doesn't matter" the girl rolled her black orbs.
"Since...you guys are naïve and weak." she mocked as her eyes narrowed at the students.
"i don't understand! why are you doing this?! you don't seem much older than us!" midoriya asked.
the girl eyes widened, she wanted to reply... to tell someone about how she didnt choose to be a villain... she wanted someone to ask this for a long time. she dropped her gaurd for just a second as todoroki took the chance and froze her feet.
"Midoriya your plan worked!"
said guy nodded and his green eyes turned back towards the villain right in front of him.
"...fake concern... a trap?... that's all you've got...?" the girl asked, not giving a shit about her legs being frozen at the moment.
"when I, for once, actually thought that someone was concerned about me after so long..."
A confused expression covered midoriya's beat up face.
"so is everyone like you? a fake?... answer me green hair." the ravenette shot the boy a death glare as hate and rage bubbled up in her chest.
"Do you really intend on becoming a hero!?"
Just the sight of those green eyes made her want to kill the boy even more. her finger twitched. no... stop idiot! if you lose control then...
a tornado like structure formed around her as todoroki's ice shattered and all of the boys got slammed back from the force of the wind. DONT!
the girl's raven locks started floating as her eyes turned green as she clenched her jaw. dont let it... get out of control... Illumi... if you do, then you'll just be like them...
Suddenly everything calmed down, the tornado disappeared and the girl's eyes turned back to normal while her hair fell back on her face.
Bakugo grit his teeth getting up and preparing to attack. The girl's glare went to the blond, her obsidian black eyes met his fiery red ones. "do whatever you want. we'll meet each other soon anyways bakugo-kun."
'because you're still too weak to fight them alone... you'll be caught anyways.'
After this the girl disappeared with a breeze of ice cold wind but her chilling words were still playing in the boy's mind.
"We need to protect bakugo. That girl...i bet she didnt even show one percent of her power in this battle!" Shoji commanded.
Everyone agreed except bakugo that is. "You don't need to protect me, damn extras!"
As they moved forward they saw Uraraka and tsuyu with a psycho looking blonde girl.
"Uraraka!" Shoji shouted with a shocked tone.
"Shoji-chan!, Minna! (everyone)" Tsuyu shouted. The blonde instantly moved away from Uraraka.
"There are more people now and i don't wanna be killed, so bye-bye" the girl stated beginning to leave but, a green haired boy caught her eye and she blushed hard before running off.
"Who was that women just now?" todoroki asked, sprinting towards the girls to check on the both of them.
"A villain, a crazy one." Tsuyu replied.
"So we weren't the only ones who ran into crazy villains" shoji mumbled as he turned towards todoroki.
"what is that supposed to mean todoroki-kun!?" ochako gulped.
"we'll keep that one for later."
"Uraraka-san you're hurt!" a concerned expression took over midoriya's face as he stared at the wound on her leg.
"Its okay! I can still totally walk!" "Anyways you're the one that-" she interrupted by Shoji. "This isn't the time to stand around and talk. Lets go quickly!" He insisted.
"Anyways I'm glad you're okay... I know! Come with us." Midoriya ordered. "Right now, we're protecting kacchan as we head back to camp!"
"You're protecting bakugo?" Tsuyu questioned as she put a finger on her chin. "Where is bakugo?"
"What're you talking about?" The green haired boy asked while smiling "kacchan is right behind..." He tilted his head. his face turned pale immediately as he realized that tokoyami and bakugo were missing.
"The one your talking about, i took him with my magic" a guy with a mask on answered. "This talent isn't someone who should be on the hero side. We'll take him to a stage where he can shine more"
"GIVE HIM BACK" midoriya shouted as a hatefull expression covered his face.
"Give him back?" "That's a strange thing to say. Bakugo-kun doesn't belong to anyone. He's his own person, you egoist."
"give him back!" Midoriya shouted again.
"Move!" todoroki ordered as he pushed past Uraraka throwing a huge spike of ice towards the magician, the guy simple dodged and flew into the air.
"We simply want to show him that the path he's on now with it's fanatical values is not the only path he can take" he landed on some trees. "Kids these days are made to choose their paths based on their values."
"Midoriya it's not just bakugo! Tokoyami's not here either!" Shoji shouted frightened for his friend as he looked around.
"To talk to us when you didn't needed to..." Todoroki glared at him "You're underestimating us!"
"I was originally an entertainer, you know. It's a bad habit of mine. Taking tokoyami-kun was an improvisation on my part. Moonfish...the man with blade tooth, he may not look it, but he's a cutthroat on death row whose appeal was dismissed with a violent nature that trampled that cutthroat down one-sidedly i decided he was good, too."
"You Bastard! Don't take them!" The green haired boy yelled. "Midoriya calm down!" Shoji ordered.
"Uraraka, take this guy" todoroki ordered as he shoved the guy off of him.
"Right!" She replied.
Todoroki then threw a block of ice as big as a glacier to freeze the man.
"Sorry, tricks and running away are my one redeeming features. There's no way I'd fight students who are hero candidates" he scoffed before pressing the connected earpeice the whole league was wearing.
"Vanguard action squad! Target successfully collected! it was just a short while, but with this, our show has come to a close! As arranged head to the retrieval point in next five minutes."
"Its finally done, huh?" Illumi mumbled before getting up from the dead body she was sitting on.
As she wiped the blood off of her cheek her eyes glistened blood red in the dark. "i still can't believe someone would go out of their way to try to kill me here but... anyways." she muttered while sighing apologetically at the corpse. she didn't like killing people but, that does not mean she can't.
"Oi dabi! Did you hear the radio?! I'm so pumped! Mr. Compress already succeeded!" twice exclaimed doing a little happy dance but soon became serious "Took him long enough! I was getting sleepy" he uttered solemnly contradicting what he just said before.
"nah... Don't say that. He did a good job." Replied dabi. "Now, we just have to wait for everyone to get back".
"That's not right! You're right." twice, doing a couple of funny hand motions, disagreed and agreed.
"This place was supposed to be hard to find because of the wall of flames and gas, but the gas was cleared away. Things never go according to plan, huh?" The burnt man mumbled putting a hand on his neck.
"You're right! Things are going according to plan!"
As dabi's eyes lingered towards a certain blonde sitting behind the bushes he started walking towards him but his attention was caught by twice's words.
"Oi dabi, look! it's illumi-san's katana, it's just an ordinary one" twice informed picking it up. "Do you think she was defeated? she obviously was not".
Dabi narrowed his eyes at the sword but before he could say something, another very familiar voice came up. "That must be mine, twice." they both looked up to see illumi walking towards them. "Yeah it's very cool Illumi-san, it's very ugly you should get a new one." Twice smacked his hand over his face in fear but the girl just sighed taking it from his hand and settled it back into its scabbard.
the girl looked up to find dabi glaring at her, she just glared back at him again before twice broke the silence.
"Dabi, is it okay to not call the nomu guy?" He asked, grabbing dabi's attention "You said it'd only react to your voice or something, right? Its very important!".
"Oh yeah. You asked me why i didn't add it to the battle, right?" The burnt man replied turning towards twice. 'i didn't know about that but anyways...' "Be grateful! bow before me!" Twice ordered dabi.
"A monster specifically for me, from shigaraki..." the man pressed the button on a remote like structure. "Its probably killed at least one person by now."
Twice nodded. Then he turned towards the ravenette and asked "Illumi-san is that ketchup on your hoodie?, it's obviously blood." At this Illumi flinched which didn't go unnoticed by dabi. "Urusai(shut up) twice. You're really getting on my nerves." She gave twice a deathly glare. The man backed away seeming genuinely scared of her.
Before she could be at peace another yet annoying voice popped up.
"Huh, no one is here yet?" toga asked smiling brightly.
"You lunatic, did you get the blood? How many people's worth?" dabi questioned ignoring what she asked completely.
"One people's worth!" She replied.
"Just one?! Weren't you told to get at least three?" twice asked in a mocking tone. 'tsk, annoying and useless'
"It couldn't be helped. I thought I was going to be killed" she replied happily. (jeez is she ever sad?)
"Anyways" started twice, "toga-chan aren't you a little too happy?, was there anything to make you depressed?". At this toga blushed even harder and sweetly turned around "i made some friends and found a boy I'm interested in."
"You mean me? Twice asked. "sorry can't" "i like you,too!
"Also!" Toga exclaimed as she turned towards the ravenette, ignoring twice's confession.
"Illumi-chan!" The blonde ran towards her hugged the ravenette catching her totally off gaurd and almost making her fall.
The girl was completely stiff in one place it wasn't that she was scared but she's just never been hugged for so long. it was almost like she forgot hugs actually existed. "Illumi-chan i had a question to ask you!" "do you have anyone you're interested in?!" she asked as her eyes glistened. dabi narrowed his eyes at the ravenette expecting some kind of answer. 'i don't know why i care... but..' dabi's mind was full of various thoughts.
"Umm..." was all the girl could muster before there was a huge shake beside them.
"Oi,oi,oi,oi! I know these kids! Who are they?" twice shouted pointing towards the kids who were standing on top of compress.
"Give tokoyami-kun and kacchan back" midoriya shouted in a frustrated tone.
"Illumi, take compress out of the way" dabi ordered as he held out his hand to attack.
"Roger that." within a second she took compress and settled him behind dabi.
Instantly she leapt towards todoroki and from the side of her eye she could see the blonde was being thrown away by the multiple hands guy. 'Toga..'
Todoroki sent huge spikes of ice towards the girl as she reached for her sword. The moment she swung it todoroki was sent flying while the rest of his ice shattered into pieces. "No way... Was that just now... Air force?" He mumbled before getting to his feet glaring daggers at the ravenette.
"I can't believe you kids flew so far to chase after me. Your ideas are far out!" compress scolded the kids before walking towards dabi.
"Where's bakugo?" The burnt man asked before he turned towards the magician.
"Of course" he replied while reaching for his pocket. To his surprise marbles he sealed them in weren't there.
"Midoriya, todoroki, we're running away" the guy with multiple hands dictated. "I'm sure now based on what he just did. i don't know what your quirk is, but inside that right pocket of yours that you kept flaunting were bakugo and tokoyami, right, entertainer?"
'smart... heroes are intriguing after all...'
"Oh, that didn't take you very long! As expected from someone with six arms! You're good at feeling around!" compress replied with a amazed tone.
"All right! Good job. Shoji!" todoroki appreciated as he started running towards the direction of where his friends were going.
"Aho(moron)" dabi threw his hand up to burn the child but Illumi stopped the man.
"Baka(idiot), don't." she stared at his blue orbs, while crossing her arms in front of her chest. Dabi looked at her confused as she signaled towards the direction they were running and he narrowed his eyes.
Instantly kurogiri appeared out of nowhere making a huge warp gate in front of the kids.
"It has been five minutes since the signal. Let us go, dabi" he instructed.
"Sorry! Izuku-kun, i'll see you later!" toga waved at the boy with a smile as she walked inside of the warp. Twice also dived in the warp head first.
"Wait, our goal is not yet-" dabi was cut off by compress. "Oh, that? They seemed so happy that they rushed out here, so i thought I'd give them a present." The magician completed while turning towards the kids. 'tch isn't it obvious? did these twerps not even see through this?'.
well it was indeed very ironical for her to call the students, twerps, kids or brats, since she wasn't very old than them. but who cares?
"Its a habit, one of the basics of magic. When I flaunt something, it's because there's something i don't want you to see." He removed his mask and opening his mouth to reveal the real marbles that the boys were sealed in.
Compress snapped his fingers and the marbles that the six armed boy had turned into blocks of ice.
As the magician went over to explain how he fooled them the kids came charging forward. "And now that's all from me-" in an instant, a lazer like substance aimed for compress broke his mask making him spit of the balls. Todoroki and shoji reached out to them instantly.
The six armed guy was able to catch the first one however when todoroki was reaching out for the second marble dabi caught it in a flash.
"That's sad" he mumbled while narrowing his eyes making the boy in front of him shiver. "Todoroki... shoto..."
The boy fell to the ground hitting hard.
the burnt man passed the marble to the ravenette. the girl caught it giving dabi a confused glance. "hold onto him, will you?" he instructed.
the ravenette nodded. "wakkatta." (got it)
"Release it compress" the girl sighed while turning towards compress who was still fixing his mask.
"My show's been ruined!" he hissed before snapping his fingers together again, making the marble in her hand turn into bakugo.
the blond winced and Illumi got close to his ear "don't move bakugo-kun."
A loud "kacchan" was all she could hear before they were warped into the hideout.
squeaks* update so late!? well uh... let me tell you this. I have been working on some other stories and actually already have 5 chapters written of this one, but... too busy to write them i guess...
this story originally already consisted of 6 chapters but i ended up deleting all of them, because i wasn't really happy with the way it came out and the grammatical errors were annoying. and let me tell ya... it was hell of a ride just reading all of my older chapters... they were so damn repetitive and boring. And by the way I'll try to edit them as soon as i can, so please stay tuned!
also... sorry lol xD, but i intend on revealing the secrets about some of Illumi's features and her past in the upcoming chapters... the thing I'm confused about is that should i put it as a memory, a narrating one or Illumi telling shigaraki about it. it would really help if you people will tell in the review section.
thank you!
