Izumi stared at the room for a moment longer, taking in the situation. Well, that was not good. Really, really not good.
"Alright, good news, I know where you are." Izzzuku said, the dream creature having entered her mind earlier.
'Bad news?'
"You have been summoned by a deranged wizard, your fellow summoned is a serial killer, there are at least five others 'marked' Izuku in this place, and I can't help you in any way."
Izumi sighed. Of course, nothing can ever go her way when she uses Struck Down by Love. She looked at the wizards standing in front of them, kneeling at the order of the Yotsubashi equivalent, the one calling himself Lord Arkin.
"Excellent." The man said, "Aren't you interesting… Do you have experience with the Multiverse?"
"Yes." Both her and the serial killer next to her replied at the same time. She noticed his smile had grown slightly maniacal as his eyes dart from her, to the other wizard who had called himself Izmird, to the two Izukus panting nearby, seemingly recovering strength after some sort of exhausting exercise, to the gunman at the door who is also an Izuku of some kind. Oh, that wasn't good.
"Who is the third one? There should be three summoned individuals." He asked next.
"Izzzuku Midoriya." They said in unison again, Izumi feeling a compulsion to answer. When Arkin raised an eyebrow, she tried to resist the urge to explain further, but Jack had no such qualms. "He is a spirit of some kind. A dream being, I believe the exact term is. We were clashing when I was taken here, and I assume him being taken is why there are only two of us."
"I see." He smiled, "Izzzuku! Come out!"
No answer.
"It appears the Crest wasn't effective." Izmird said, "Perhaps it's because he isn't a physical entity. We'll have to keep that in mind for the future…"
"Irritating. Is he still here? Look for him."
Izumi tried mechanically to call for him, but the dream being stayed silent. Or maybe he had left to try and get her help. Whichever came first. "I can't sense him." Izumi finally said.
"Neither can I." Jack replied.
"He escaped then." Izmird looked at her, and Izumi noticed a flash of… something in his eyes. Curiosity?
"That's a problem." Arkin said, "Does he have allies?"
"Many." Jack replied, clearly having no problem sharing everything he knew, "They call themselves the League for All. Although, they are currently busy facing the group I'm part of, the True League for All. I doubt they will intervene any time soon."
Izumi nodded. The League for All, for the little she knew, was busy. On the other hand, she didn't believe her friends would abandon her. At the very least, Izuku and Huanli would come for her. 'I really hope I'm right on that one, because this isn't promising.'
"Last question, for now. Can any of you travel the Multiverse on their own?" Arkin asked, and she shook her head.
"I can't."
"I can." Jack replied, "I am able to travel through the Raven's Eyes. Any universe in which Ravens exist is mine."
"Excellent!" Arkin grinned, "Our first proper traveler, Wizard. You did an excellent job."
"Thank you, my lord. And I also believe that I understand what happened with Horizon now." The elven Izuku said.
"Oh?" Arkin raised an eyebrow.
"You see my lord, it appears that the request you make through the portals are… warped, for lack of a better term, once they are amplified. You requested an Izuku Midoriya with experience traveling through other worlds. If we break up this request at its core, we get 'Izuku Midoriya' and 'experience traveling through other worlds'. It's my theory that, due to the lack of will from the One for All to help in this endeavor, the amplification warps the request. First, we got an Izuku Midoriya, but one that lacked the experience of traveling through other worlds. Now, we get someone experienced in traveling through other worlds, but that isn't an Izuku Midoriya." He said, pointing at Izumi.
"But I am-"
"Not for the standards of the spell." Arkin replied, nodding, most likely having already understood Izmird's point, "Since I picture Izuku Midoriya as strictly male, only males should be summoned. The fact you are a woman should have disqualified you. I believe you are correct Izmird."
'Of course I should have been safe. Damn Contract…'
"Very well, now let's discuss your abilities…" Arkin said with a smile, "First however, I shall name you. Crow and Violence seem appropriate."
Izumi gulped, but she nodded.
-x-
To say that Itsuka did not expect to suddenly hear a voice in her head was an underestimation. Even when she realized who that voice was, she was shocked.
And then she heard what he had to say.
"Shit, twenty-three?! We were expecting something around fifteen!"
"Yeah. And that's not the worst part. You won't believe who two of them are."
Itsuka didn't believe it. Didn't want to. But of course, Izzzuku wasn't going to lie. Jack Midoriya and a dragon. A combination that might as well have been a death sentence to most people. "Fuuuuck…"
"You said it. You'll need more firepower, Itsuka." Izzzuku replied.
"How? I already tried to ask Isaac for extra help, and he promised to ask around, but the League is dealing with the True League for All! They can't send in too many people!" She replied. She knew perfectly well that getting more help was the solution, but not if it meant leaving unguarded all the people that could fall prey of the so called 'True League'.
"Is something wrong Itsuka?" Itsumi asked. They had been training until the woman was contacted, at which point she had stopped.
"A lot. Izzzuku, any ideas?"
"One, but you won't like it. It probably means owing something to the JTO."
Itsuka sighed.
Of course.
"I think I can guess what it is."
-x-
Announcer had to admit he was starting to think this year the Tournament was cursed. First, an assassin showed up to try and kill three of their participants, then one of their fighters just up and vanished.
And now this. He leaned against the chair he had been given and looked at the three figures confronting each other.
Rikiya Yotsubashi, his boss and the leader of the JTO. Kiruka Yagi, the League's envoy to the Tournament. And of course, Izuku Midoriya, Deku, who has been the first active in trying to find Izumi Midoriya when she failed to show up to training for over an hour.
"So." Rikiya sighed, listening to the story, "Someone – another me – is collecting fighters by summoning them to a fantasy world to use them against the Hero and the brave knights of the land, on orders of some deranged Demon King."
"That's… correct."
"The Multiverse is so fascinating." Rikiya commented, earning a glare from Kiruka, "This is wrong, of course, but fascinating." He quickly amended, "Well, you ask a lot. Deku, Huanli and Zombie are supposed to fight today, along with, for sure, some other friends they made over the course of the week…"
"They can participate. The assault should happen tomorrow. Itsuka, the leader of our group already there, sent a scout into the city. We can't call him back, and he probably won't return until nightfall. And attacking at night an army of Demons in that world is suicidal." She waved her hand, "I can't guarantee they will go all out as they would have without the emergency, but they won't leave the Tournament."
Deku nodded, though Izuku was sure it was only because Kiruka had made a good argument for why they had to wait. If it was up to him, he would have probably been already in the other universe, and to hell with the Tournament. Frankly, he found it commendable.
Rikiya paused, tapping his fingers on the armchair, "I see. That certainly simplifies things. They can use the break to fight there, and as participants, they can then recover in our infirmary. If they pass the round, they won't cause any problem by just helping you." He nodded, "As for your other requests…"
"We can p-"
"Let me finish. You requested two favors from me. One is expensive, the other is troublesome, so you have to make it worth my while." Rikiya replied.
"I can't sell a seat in the League." Kiruka replied, and Announcer knew she was right. As did Rikiya, of course. If it was a matter of buying it, he would have done so years ago, when Lemillion, a fairly cool guy from that 'Policeverse' universe, passed away due to One for All's strain.
"Oh, I understand that. Nor do I wish to buy it by abusing my current position of power. If I did that, cooperation between us would be impossible. It would be tainted by the fact it wasn't earned. However, I have a better idea." He smiled, "Exclusive movie rights for a clash of Heroes unlike any seen before."
"Movie rig- You can't be serious! You can't have told-"
"The greatest moviemaker in the Multiverse!" The Director said, barging into the studio with an elegant bow. Danjuro Tobita smiled proudly, followed by his main actor and his cameraman. Christopher Skyline showed a glistening smile, his perfect face and perfect blonde hair making him the quintessential Hollywood star and his body showing the signs of his strength, and behind him was Manami Aiba, one of her camera drones buzzing around her head.
"Were you waiting behind the door for him to mention you?" Announcer asked.
"Of course! Although, Manami, cut that. It's hilarious but not in a meaningful way."
"Of course, love." The short, red-haired woman replied.
"No! You can't ask me to work with him! The League has been trying to stop him for years!" Kiruka said, pointing at the trio, "And we can't even guarantee they won't mess up the whole operation to make it more 'suitably dramatic'!"
"To be fair, at this point your permission isn't needed anymore." Tobita said, "If you refuse, I can simply go ask this Lord Arkin fellow if he'd like to star in a movie. He sounds like the kind of egocentric man that would say yes. Of course, if we aren't cooperating, I'd be inclined to make things even more dramatic."
"He wouldn't know you and cooperate…" Kiruka hissed, before turning to Rikiya, "Why?"
"Because it's a ton of money, of course. You League members always fail to consider how important money is. The Director is harmless, in the grand scheme of things, and his movies sell all over the Multiverse for billions of dollars. Sure, damage here and there across it, but he never murdered anyone."
"Directly. Or you think any time Skyline crashes through a building during a fight and causes it to collapse no one is hurt? Or any time they challenge a Villain in the middle of a city to make it more 'dramatic', what happens to the civilians? You can edit them out, but you aren't making it better."
"Unfortunate circumstances." Tobita replied, "To be fair, I do try to vacate the buildings. I can't exactly call for a retake, though. The price to pay for such a level of art. At least I pay back for the damage, unlike most Villains."
"You…"
"Wait." Deku said, and Announcer glanced at him, "Kiruka, I understand why you are against it, but… is it worth worrying in this case? Izumi was taken to an empty city, with only ruins and demons inside, if Izzzuku is right. They would put us in danger, but we are even more in danger if we don't do this."
Kiruka bit her lip, and Announcer nodded. Yes, Izuku was just being sensible here. It was far better to side the Director with them than against them. He personally disliked Danjuro, and just a look at Deku told him he thought the same, but much like him, he understood the situation. It certainly helped he just wanted to save his friend as soon as possible.
"But…" Deku continued, turning to the Director, "No trying to cause someone's death. This is a rescue operation."
The Director shrugged, "Of course. As I said, I never murdered anyone."
"Directly…" Kiruka muttered again, "Izuku, this is dangerous."
"It's gonna be more dangerous if we can't help. I could abandon the tournament, but people like Fuyumi and Zombie wouldn't. And we will need all the help we can gather."
"You think Revenant will even go?" Announcer asked, speaking up for once, more out of curiosity than anything, and Izuku nodded.
"I already asked actually, the moment we found out what happened and I rushed here. I ran into him in the corridor." Deku replied, "He said 'annoying as it is, if you fail and that bastard summons me, it would ruin everything. I already had a maniac drag me into his plans, I would like to avoid a repeat'."
"Makes sense." Announcer nodded. Keigo was probably going to freak out at the idea Revenant was leaving, but that was his problem. And frankly, of all the Izukus, Revenant and Zombie were the two he was sure would come back.
Rikiya smiled, looking at Kiruka, "Well said, mister Midoriya. Do we have a deal, Miss Yagi?"
Kiruka took a deep breath.
"You better make sure you keep your end of the bargain."
"Always." Yotsubashi replied. Announcer glanced at the director instead, and noticed his look of… anticipation.
-x-
"So that's that." Deku replied, "This is why I called you here, and why I'm asking you for help." He bowed his head, "Please."
"Of course I'm in." Huanli replied, the one sitting closest to him, before turning to Revenant "You shouldn't though. We just started our agreement. It's been less than twenty-four hours, and you spent half of them gasping and panting."
"Oh my…" The God of Thunder said, only to get immediately murdered by the looks Revenant and Huanli sent him. Uh, Kaminari was always Kaminari after all.
"Kaminari's idiocy aside…" Revenant replied, "I have recovered. I can come with."
"I'm on board." The God of Thunder said, shrugging, "It will be a good test."
"I agree with him." Shinra nodded, his wooden mask making his expression unreadable.
"I have to pass." Honenuki said, and everyone stared at him. He coughed in his fist, "I apologize, I'm not going back on our agreement, Deku. I'm just unable to join you for this fight."
Izuku nodded. He wouldn't ask why. Honenuki probably had his reasons. "I suppose it's the same for you, Shinomori."
"Mh? No, I'm coming with you." The Fourth said, and Izuku once again wondered why he was so ready to fight. It was odd from the Fourth.
Argali, Captain Kamino, Usagi, Zombie, Fuyumi, Chimera… They all agreed to come. He hadn't doubted it, but he still was happy to see it.
"And what about you?" He asked to their new guest. Most fighters in the Tournament had turned down the abrupt invitation. It was a bit too sudden, and many of them, besides a few still recovering, felt like they weren't ready for such a fight, or didn't want to risk their spot.
"I'm on board, of course." Arsenal, Kaina Tsutsumi, nodded, "I'm not watching as another Nineth dies."
Izuku nodded back.
'This is the best I can do.' He thought. Hopefully, this evened the field at least a bit.
"Alright." Kiruka Yagi, who had stayed on stand-by watching, nodded. "I will take the people that can already come to the camp, so that Itsuka and the others can start explaining the plan. You five…" She pointed to Deku, Usagi, Zombie, Fuyumi and Huanli, "Are staying until your fight in today's turn is over, then I will carry you over the moment you have been healed."
Deku nodded.
'Hold on, Fuyumi. We are coming for you.'
-x-
"They will probably be here in a matter of days." Izmird said. Piper raised his head from where he had been writing down the notes the wizard was dictating him.
"Who?"
"Enemies."
"Sh-Shouldn't we tell Lord Arkin?" Piper asked, more because he felt compelled to due to the Crest than out of any sense of loyalty. There really wasn't any for a man that had enslaved him and was using a child to summon people like a demented gacha player.
"He knows." Izmird said, waving his hand, "He was the one that mentioned it. Ideally, this League versus League conflict will keep both sides busy, but there is the risk they will send in at least someone to try and face him. Not to mention, whoever wins will take notice, either to recover Jack and kill the other Midoriyas or to save the summoned and kill the serial killer." He grinned, "It's a fascinating thing. We will not call for Midoriyas tomorrow."
"What will he summon?" Piper asked.
"Strength." Izmird replied, "He will ask for strong warriors. And I can't wait to see the result." He pointed to the box on the table, "But first, there is a little gift for you."
"For me?"
"Of course. The upcoming fight is going to require you to be stronger. I searched the treasure, with Lord Arkin's permission of course, and found several magic items. Most of them require skills you don't have, but I believe those three will help you immensely."
Piper looked at the two rings and the baton. "Are you sure?"
"Trust me." Izmird replied, "You will prove a valiant opponent."
-x-
The Green Scar sighed as he watched Itsumi and Dekiru spar. They were strong, for their age, but they were definitely not the strongest fighters. And now that they knew they were outnumbered by strong opponents, besides just the Demons, he was starting to get worried.
"Spider-Man." He called, the other Izuku jumping down from the tree.
"Yeah?"
"Anything?"
"I spotted something flying around the top of the spire. Aside from that, not much. They are too far to get spotted. Even the flying thing might have been a winged Demon or some native creature I don't know." He sighed.
The Green Scar hummed. "Penny for your thoughts, nineth?" Nana asked.
"It's bad. We are outnumbered far more than expected, and by enemies with actual skills. Itsuka was horrified when Izzzuku mentioned the dragon."
"We have beaten Solarian Warriors. Can the Dragon be much worse?"
"Even if it's on the level of a Solarian Warrior, I'm twenty-one, not thirty. I'm not at my peak." He replied, "If I fought a Solarian Warrior right now, I wouldn't come out unscathed."
"Would you win?" The Second asked, and the Green Scar paused. Would he? With his allies, maybe. Alone? Not a chance. He repeated the message, and the Second scoffed.
"Well, your allies seem to have a plan." Yoichi pointed out.
He glanced to Canary and Itsuka. Yeah, those two definitely had a plan. They just refused to share it. A safety measure, according to them, and the Green Scar understood why once mind-reading was mentioned. The fewer people knew their plan to deal with the Dragon, the less chance the Dragon had to formulate a countermeasure.
It still didn't mean he liked it. Getting cut out of the loop hadn't exactly gone well the last time it had happened, what with finding out that Mina Loveberry had exterminated a whole monster town on Solaria's orders and getting imprisoned for saying that maybe genocide was a bad thing.
Yeah, not a big fan of 'keeping secrets for your good', but he understood it this time.
His thoughts stopped as he watched something shift. There was a quick pop and a rush of air, and a whole group of people landed on the grass.
He knew Kiruka. The adopted daughter of Toshinori Yagi, and the Villain called Slice in his world, but here a Pro Hero wielding One for All.
Izzzuku was also there, emerging from the head of…
"Is that Captain America?" Spider-Man asked.
"Is that Spider-Man?!" 'Captain America' returned. The two Izukus stared at each other.
Then marched forward and shook hands. "It's nice to meet you. Captain…"
"Kamino." Izuku replied, "And you are… Spider…"
"Just Spider-Man." He replied.
"This is surreal." Captain Kamino said, his voice growing just slightly more high-pitched.
"You tell me?! I never thought I'd meet someone else with a Marvel influence- Is that a Kaminari Thor?!" He asked, pointing at the God of Thunder. The blonde man was already wielding Mjolnir, having readied his weapon for the fight, and had put on what looked like an armored costume and a cape. He waved.
"Yeah yeah, Spider-Man, Captain Kamino, the God of Thunder… We just need Iron Man and we can probably form the Avengers." The Green Scar moved forward, "And I mean more that we need to go pick him up, Power Suit fits to a T."
"We have an Iron Man?!" Captain Kamino asked, eyes wide. Izuku chuckled.
"Anyway, what I think is that we need to work on the plan. Thank you all for coming." He started, looking around. Besides the two Marvel expies, there was a Kamui Woods, this one looking almost identical, and a Chimera, lighting up a cigar and otherwise staying quiet. Then a brooding teenager Izuku with, if the Green Scar is right, more weapons than just the sword he carried on his right side, an Izuku with a large pair of horns on his head wearing a green scarf, and…
Hikage Shinomori nodded, and Izuku paused, surprised. Of all the people he expected to meet, a past holder of One for All wasn't among them.
"Wow, it's me." Said past holder commented inside his head, "Well, about six years younger than I was when I died."
'Let's hope One for All isn't also causing the same damage.' Izuku thought. He will have to talk with Shinomori, to make sure he was informed of the risks with the Quirk.
The last one was Lady Nagant. A Kaina Tsutsumi older than the last version Izuku met, but still easily recognizable, despite the color of her hair not aligning with what he remembered. She nodded respectfully, even if her eyes kept darting from one Izuku to the other.
"The Green Scar is right." Itsuka said, stepping forward after talking quickly with Kiruka.
"The Green Scar?" Captain Kamino asked, frowning, "You aren't…"
"I'm not Hulk, no. I get why the question." He said, turning around, "So, regarding the situation… it's shit."
"Izuku!"
"What? I'm right." The Green Scar pointed to the city, the sunset disappearing behind it. "Dekirn is still in the city, hopefully spying for us, and Izzzuku is doing the same further in, but we have at least some information. There are hundreds of Demons down in the city, as far as Izzzuku could see, and they are most likely under Arkin's control."
"How strong are the Demons in this world?" the broody Izuku asked.
"I asked my teacher, and she says it varies." Ojiro replied, stepping forward, "Some are little more than a nuisance, and most are 'average strength enhancing Quirk' tier at best. The strongest though – one in a hundred or maybe less… we are talking of a High-End Noumu."
"What's that?" Captain Kamino, Dekiru, Revenant and most other people in the new group asked. Ojiro sighed. He made to explain, but Kaina Tsutsumi took her turn.
"Big scary monsters made from corpses. Do they regenerate too?"
"No, but according to my master most of them will keep going with damage that would usually stop a human." He sighed, "Apparently, in this world the Demon King is the only Demon that can exist in this plane of existence directly. The other Demons have to possess a dying human, fusing the two souls together and transforming the body. That's why they try to kill anyone: the more they kill, the more corpses to possess." He shook his head, "It's basically a Noumu."
"A Noumu…" The Green Scar blinked, "Mikona… Ah! I get it. So that's what's going on."
Itsuka raised an eyebrow, but the Green Scar shook his head, "Nothing important. Just realized that this is a Noumu factory, that's all." He returned his attention on them, "But the real issue is the Summons."
Several people grimace, and he made to explain before a buzzing sound interrupted him. He turned around, without seeing nothing, and then noticed a small ripple in the air, leaning down to pick up a rock, but Kiruka stopped him. "I'll explain later." She whispered to both him and Itsuka, who seemed to have also noticed. "It's the agreement I arranged for those favors."
"Really?" Itsuka asked, "The Director of all things?" The Green Scar blinked, remembering the name from a discussion he heard in the League, but not quite able to place it.
"It is what it is. Go on Green Scar."
"… Right. So, Izzzuku so far has confirmed there are twenty-two supposed Summons. We believe that, by the time we attack tomorrow morning, they will be twenty-five. That is also on top of a knight that turned traitor for Arkin and Hawks, but the latter is on our side."
"Shouldn't we attack now, then?" Kaina asked, "Three enemies might make a difference."
"Demons can see in the dark, and we don't know what the new summoned can do. We know about the old ones, like Bell Witch and Gun, but the majority are unknowns, somehow obtained after Arkin managed to make the summoning process faster." Ojiro explained, "Moreover, we don't know the exact locations of the entrances to the upper city, since we can't know which are still open, and the last thing we want is to have to scale the walls. Some of us can do it fast, but we would be easy prey on both sides. Izzzuku and Dekirn are infiltrating to look for the entrances we can use."
"And there are Mikona's magical defenses." Itsumi added, "Ojiro's master says there is no way to know if they can still be activated, and what they might do. Izzzuku has to try and find out if they are still active."
The broody Izuku – he seriously needed to ask him the name – nodded.
"So what's the strategy?" Captain Kamino asked.
"The current plan is to divide a portion of our forces to lure the Demons away from one or more of the entrances and then break in with the rest. From there, we knock out all the summoned and capture or kill Arkin."
"If you happen to run into a Midoriya with a cane with the head of a crow, he is a serial killer that murders Izukus across the Multiverse." Itsuka added, "Don't hesitate to kill."
"Duly noted." Revenant said.
'Man, he really is up for killing, uh? Well, works for us.' He thought.
"Demons are also free to kill. You are just liberating the husk of a living being from the influence of a Demon's soul." Ojiro added, "In fact, I'd encourage it."
"Are you sure this isn't just some story they come up with to explain where Demons come from?" Dekiru said, and everyone stared at him, making the young Izuku - probably the youngest here, actually - retreat a bit. "I-I'm just saying, this is a medieval magic world…"
"They have seen the process happen." Ojiro replied, "It's not a made-up story."
"Alright, then you need an extermination squad for the Demons." Broody Izuku said, "I'm on board."
"Remember that anyone that isn't a Demon or Jack Midoriya is to be captured alive at all costs, Revenant." Captain Kamino said.
'Oh thank god, an actual name. Farewell, 'broody Izuku'." The Green Scar thought.
"Don't worry, I can control myself. You should know that." He replied, and while it seemed more of a taunt, Captain Kamino seemed to take it in good spirit.
"Good. Either way, I'd say we can start to plan. How many more people are joining us?" Itsuka asked toward Kiruka.
"Five, if no one else jumps in." She replied, and then winked, "Including Huanli."
"Oh, I heard from Izzzuku. I'll give her a scolding so terrifying she will find the Demons cute." Itsuka replied. The Green Scar found himself feeling sorry for the girl, before refocusing again, though he heard Nana chuckle.
"That's enough to make the odds better." He turned to everyone, "Whether it's enough to win… Well, that's up to all of us."
"Indeed." A voice said from behind. "I believe I can join and give you better odds though. Isaac said at least one of us should help, even with the True League for All whole situation, and I volunteered."
Izuku's eyes went wide, and he wasn't the only one, though several people turned to look at the horned Izuku, whose jaw was wide open.
"Uhm, hi?"
"Hi." Izuku Merinoriya, also known as Merino, a talking sheep whose head arrived at his chest, said with a nod, "Nice to meet you all."
The Green Scar was really, really done with the Multiverse.
-x-
"And with this victory, Katsuki Bakugo moves to the Top 16! For the next match…" The Announcer turned to the screen, smiling as the Arena was prepared and the graphics changed to Huanli Quanteng and Yo Shindo. He noticed the slight confusion at the speed of the change. Usually, the Tournament left about ten minutes between one fight and the other, but now they were cutting it down as much as possible. It was a massive show of good faith of the JTO toward the League, considering it basically meant 'We will let them finish as fast as possible to help with the crisis'.
Not even three minutes later, the Arena was finished. He looked down at the terrain, half of it sand, the other half the normal terrain. It seemed miss Quanteng had opted to avoid any change. Smart, against Shindo. He could turn most obstacles into projectiles by making them splinter with his Quirk.
He introduced both fighters and noticed how determined Huanli looked. He was fairly sure she would win, and quickly.
"It's gonna be an interesting night folks!" He said. 'And a night of fast and brutal matches. I bet we are going to sell a lot of merchandise after this.'
He gave the go, and Huanli charged forward.
