Man, this story is getting good, huh? I'm sorry for the wait, but I am here! *Inserts All-Might Face* Anyways, enjoy the next chapter!
Tokoyami had no idea how long he was out for. He looked at his midsection only to discover that his blood-stained shirt had reverted back to Navy Blue. He stood up to get a look at his environment. The air around him was completely cold, and Izuku wasn't anywhere in sight. Matter of fact, nothing was in sight.
Instead of the storm he was in a few seconds ago, he was in a space that was white, and nothing but white. He looked around and saw the exact same thing.
"Dark Shadow?" Tokoyami called as Dark Shadow appeared.
"Where are we, Fumikage?" Dark Shadow asked as he recoiled from all the brightness.
"I have no idea," Tokoyami answered, "But we should keep our guard up, just in case."
"Don't worry, Fumikage," A feminine voice reassured, "Here, you are free from all evil and suffering."
Tokoyami knew that voice. It deepened since he last heard it, but it didn't take any time at all to recognize the voice.
"Nazomu?" Tokoyami gasped as a young girl appeared next to him.
Her blonde hair reached all the way down to her hips. Her eyes were a bright blue along with her blue T-shirt. She had black jeans and blue sneakers. She appeared to be about Tokoyami's age despite dying so young. She was wearing the same clothes she was wearing, but her age only changed.
"Hi, Fumikage!" Nazomu squealed as she gave Tokoyami her signature bone-crushing hug, "It's been forever! I missed you so much!"
Tokoyami couldn't say anything. His entire body trembled with overwhelming emotions. He returned the hug and broke down. His feelings have been suppressed for so long, and he constantly pushed people away. Now, the only person who had ever forced their way past the wall around his heart was finally in his arms again.
"I missed you, Nazomu," Tokoyami whispered as a bawling Dark Shadow joined the hug.
"You're alive!" Dark Shadow wailed as Nazomu stroked his head.
"I see you boys haven't changed a bit," She giggled as Dark Shadow cuddled up against her.
"Nazomu, what is this place?"
"It's Heaven, Fumikage," Nazomu explained, "It takes the forms of our favorite places and makes it better than we could ever imagine! Best of all, we can go to Universal Studios for free!"
A smile worked its way onto Tokoyami's face as he looked around. Swirling colors that appeared out of nowhere painted Universal Studios in front of his very eyes. The Shadow Hill that he loved dearly, the small creek where he learned to swim, the constellations that he's both seen and never seen, the large buildings that created intriguing shadows along the grass, all of it was there. The whole thing seemed like a figment of his imagination.
The air was clean and smelled of flowers. The sky was a bright blue, and a small breeze swayed the newly formed grass below him. The sun shined brightly upon the three figures, and all Tokoyami could do was watch in awe.
"This place belongs to us, Fumikage," Nazomu said, "There'll be no bedtime, no villains, no death, no evil."
The swirling colors returned, and they began twisting together to create a jungle gym. Other colors flattened and created a hollow cylinder to make a tunnel. The final strands floated into position as a swing set appeared in front of Tokoyami's eyes.
The park was empty, silent, just the way it was supposed to be. It was supposed to be just them that day, but the Grim Reaper decided to make a surprise visit.
"You want to try this again?" Nazomu asked as she ran to the swings, "Come on, Fumikage!"
"I'll be right there!" Tokoyami yelled as he tried to move his feet.
He couldn't move. His feet were glued to the ground, and no matter how hard he tried, his feet remained pinned.
"Dark Shadow!" Tokoyami called, "Can you help me out of this trap?"
Dark Shadow pulled Tokoyami's arms and gave a few hard tugs before trying from the waist. Tokoyami tried to move his feet to loosen them, but with no avail. Dark Shadow eventually recoiled and retreated back inside Tokoyami. Nazomu noticed this and walked to Tokoyami with a resting face replacing her warm smile.
"Nazomu! I have no idea what's happening, or know-"
"You're hesitating," Nazomu said, "Why do you hesitate, Fumikage?"
"I have no hesitation. I want to be with you, free of evil, and happy forever. There's nothing holding me back now."
"Did you make friends?"
"I made simple acquaintances. There was no connection I had with a single person. Besides, once they become heroes, they could be here one day and dead the next, so what's the point of making friends just to grieve more?"
Nazomu took Tokoyami's hands into hers. A small smile worked its way onto her face.
"I know its hard to admit it, Fumikage. You've always been so stubborn. I love that about you, but you need to understand that just because you don't think of anyone as important does not mean you aren't important in their eyes."
"Am I though? Izuku only chose me for the Calvary Battle because-"
"Because he believed you were powerful. You've been so caught up in your own grief that you forgot the many people who care about you."
"Nazomu-"
"What about the boy with the laser-stomach? He seems to be very kind to you. How about the boy with the tail and the boy with the grape-head? They seem to respect you."
"What? No…"
"The boy with the baking quirk seems to smile whenever he's with you. He actually manages to make you smile at his jokes."
"Sato? He-"
"The rock-headed boy only speaks to you and a few others. You helped him break out of his shell despite him not speaking a word. A bond without words is one of the strongest."
"I guess Koda is closer to me than others, but-"
"For goodness sake, Fumikage! Even the six-armed boy had his arm sliced off for you! What does that say about your friendship?"
"Shoji…"
"The frog girl also seems to like you very much both in and out of the exams."
Tokoyami tensed up a little bit. Dark Shadow reappeared and started to poke him playfully.
"Your parents, Fumikage! You're their only son, and they'll never have another son! Imagine their faces when they found out that they never saw you again! They love you with everything they can give."
"You're right…they'll be very heartbroken."
"Do you get what I'm trying to say? People need you."
"They have other people in their lives they need to love and care for, and they'll get over my disappearance eventually, right? I mean, you have to move on at some point."
"Yet you never got over my death, did you?"
Time paused right then and there. He could not argue with such a truthful statement.
"The green-haired boy is crying right now over you. He feels guilty for your death because you gave your life for him. Tell me Fumikage, am I the only one who feels like this is Deja-Vu?"
Tokoyami shook his head.
"There is only one and always will be one Tokoyami Fumikage. No one can replace you."
Tokoyami felt tears rush to his face.
"You need to return back to your world. There are people waiting on your arrival."
"Can't I take you with me?" Tokoyami asked.
"Yeah! Why don't you come back with us? You'll get along great with the class. I bet even Bakugo would admire your strength!" Dark Shadow said.
"I can't do that, Fumikage," Nazomu answered solemnly, "My time on Earth is up."
"Your parents would love to see you again."
"They're already here with me," Nazomu replied as two people appeared from behind her, "They were killed in another villain attack a few years ago. My family is all here, Fumikage. If I go back, there's nothing for me to return to. Besides, my main purpose was to motivate you and to love you. Unfortunately, it ended so soon."
"Your purpose was bigger than that," Tokoyami said, "You were a light to everyone that came in contact with you. That's why I love you so much."
Nazomu smiled brightly as she embraced Tokoyami. He suddenly felt his vision blur and his body become light.
"Keep your word, Fumikage," Nazomu whispered, "Remember, become a hero and make friends, okay? You can't face everything alone."
"I will," Tokoyami answered as is vision went black.
"For you, Nazomu."
