Finally back with this people.
And we're giving you the final two chapters of this story in one day.
Hope you enjoy the last two chapters!
5 years. It was incredible how fast time could fly, was the thought Murasaki had as she was inside a plane on its way back to Japan. "It took a few years, but finally we're all coming back," she mused as she looked out the window. 5 Years ago she and her friends went their separate ways, but with a promise, that they'd return as full fledged heroes and finally bring a change to their country, to stop the villain that has been hiding behind the scenes for years. "Just you wait All For One, we're coming for you," she muttered under her breath.
"The place hasn't changed a bit," Murasaki chuckled as she was at a park that was near UA, and even from here she could see her old school, looking the same as it did when she left. The only thing was...she couldn't seem to find any of the others. "Either I'm early or they're in other parts," she mused. "Well then...simple answer," she chuckled as she soon started using her portals to move around the park, searching for her friends.
After a few minutes she was starting to worry she may have gotten the wrong place… until she saw a vaguely familiar figure sleeping on one of the benches, wrapped up in a sleeping bag. "Really? Even after all these years?" she said dryly before popping out near him...and getting a mischievous idea.
Shota was having a nice nap. It was a lovely day and perfect to snooze while waiting for everyone else. Nothing to bother him, just nice peace...until he suddenly dreamed he was falling, falling...okay he wanted to wake up now. He stirred and opened his eyes...to find he was REALLY falling.
"What the-?!" he started to scream, only to cut himself short as he landed in a tree.
Staying there for a long moment as he was draped over a branch like a towel, he glared at nothing, before sighing in annoyance… which got worse when he heard some loud laughter coming from the ground. "Nice to see you too, Murasaki," he said dryly.
"And I see you're as much of a sleepy head as ever, Shota," Murasaki snorted. "So, you the only one here or is anyone else here?" she asked. Right as she said that though…
"HEEEEY EVERYONE HERE?!" came a familiar VERY loud voice.
"Hizashi is here," Shota said dryly.
"Yeahp, that's definitely him." Murasaki nodded as she dug her pinkie in her ear after the rather loud voice rang out through the park "Over here jackass!" she shouted back, knowing he would hear, while Shota climbed down from the tree, his sleeping bag rolled up under his arm.
It didn't take long for Hizashi to catch up to them after that, the blonde running up to them with a grin "Wassup guys!"
"Going fine. I can tell that's the same for you," Murasaki chuckled. "So, seen anyone else on the way here?"
"Not really no," Hizashi shrugged. "Oh well, they'll be here eventually."
"Like right now," came Nemuri's voice as she walked up to them. "Looks like you've all been doing well," she chuckled. "Guess all that's left is Toshinori and the gang's all back together again."
"Yeah, it's nice to see we're all doing well." Murasaki grinned as she went up to hug her friend, Nemuri returning it happily. "So...anyone want to bet Tosh is gonna do some big hammy entrance?" she asked with a smirk.
"No deal!" all of them said, Hizashi and Nemuri laughing, while Shota actually cracked a grin.
Right on cue…
"I…!" a familiar voice was heard, right as they noticing something coming down from the sky, before it landed in a sizeable cloud of dust. "Am here!" the dust cleared to reveal Toshinori looking very much Golden Age hero in build, his big grin present as always as he stood up from his landing.
In response, the group pulled out score cards from... somewhere... and held them up in succession starting from Hizashi (9), Nemuri (8), Shota (6), and Murasaki… who for some reason had a picture of ham on her scorecard, giving him an impish grin.
"...glad to know none of you have changed," Toshinori sweat dropped.
"And neither have you, you huge ham." Murasaki chuckled as she went up to him and patted his arm "I see you're finally doing the rabbit ears with your hair though." she pointed at the two strands of blonde hair that pointed up in a V shape.
"Pretty much yeah," Toshinori chuckled. "I felt it'd be a good look."
"Well, definitely makes you look approachable," Murasaki nodded. "So it works."
"Now that we're all here though, I think we should talk about more serious stuff...not in public maybe?" Shota said with a more serious expression.
"Good idea," Nemuri nodded. "Question is, where?"
"I can think of a good place," Murasaki mused.
"Where'd that be?" Hizashi asked.
"Why am I not surprised?" Nemuri chuckled.
"Well, my house IS pretty private," Murasaki chuckled, as they were gathered in front of the mansion that belonged to her family.
"Does Aoi still live here though?" Hizashi wondered.
"Probably." Shota shrugged as Murasaki went up to the intercom… and right on cue…
"Finally! I was wondering when you'd all get back!" came Aoi's voice as the gates opened "Come on in, I have some food ready for you all."
"Glad to be back, sis," Murasaki smiled, hugging her sister when she saw her.
"It's really great to be back home," Toshinori laughed as the group went in.
"So you're all finally going to do it, huh?" Aoi sighed as the group was gathered in a private room with herself in there with them.
"Yeah, now that we're all back, that's what we're planning to do. Sorry, sis," Murasaki said apologetically.
"No, it's fine. The slight paranoia aside, I'd rather know about the danger rather than have no idea what's going on," Aoi sighed. "Well, at least you're all proper heroes now rather than some Anime where the heroes jump in half baked," she chuckled.
Throughout the multiverse, SOOOO many people sneezed.
"Yeah pretty sure we don't have idiot shonen protag syndrome." Shota said dryly.
"Dragon Ball?" Hizashi asked with a grin.
"Goku's a FUCKING idiot." Shota nodded.
"In short, nobody here is going to go into this guns blazing like an idiot. That's just ASKING to get our Quirks stolen and then us probably killed," Nemuri agreed.
"I feel like that's half directed at me." Toshinori frowned.
"No offense, but you probably would have rushed in and gotten yourself crippled or something like that if we let you do this alone." Murasaki sighed.
"Yeah, sorry to beat on a dead horse, but your initial plan just SCREAMED bad idea in the long run," Shota deadpanned.
"Fortunately you got friends like us who'll make sure this idea works, AND we all get to live through it...hopefully…" Hizashi said...before deflating a little at the end.
"Let's...try to stay positive," Nemuri sighed, even if she didn't deny the reality of that possibility.
"So, guess we're really doing this, then?" Toshinori chuckled.
"Yep, our very own Justice League if you will," Murasaki nodded.
"Name still pending," Hizashi snorted.
"I hope you do or you'll have to deal with copyright," Aoi laughed a bit.
"As long as it isn't Super Friends." Nemuri snorted while Shota chuckled.
It was another typical less than pleasant night in the city, as once again, those who figured they'd use their quirks for personal gain, usually in destructive and/or unlawful ways. Among them was apparently some kind of turf war, which was being done in the middle of an alleyway neighborhood, much to the fear of the people living there, as they quickly did what they could to avoid the chaos.
As it was, the violence was beginning and starting to escalate, which became worse when the gangs were using firearms and quirks in the mix. The fighting was getting dangerous as several of them were sending quirks flying at each other...before several of them suddenly felt their quirks shut down, followed by bandages suddenly flying and wrapping around them, immobilizing them.
The sudden action caused more of them to gasp in confusion, before a ring appeared over them, followed by a mist of some kind, to which they soon felt woozy and fell asleep.
By then the gangs were in complete confusion, trying to figure out what was going on, before a figure leaped into the air, and landed between them with enough force that they were pushed back from the sheer shockwave alone, the smoke clearing to reveal what could only be a hero as All Might stood proud. The gang members who regained their wits tried to aim to shoot him, but they were stopped when a loud blast of sound tore through them, scattering some of them as Present Mic entered the fray, soon joined in by Eraserhead, Midnight, and Lady Gate.
Needless to say, what had once been a pair of gangs intending to stake their claim on some turf, ended as a group that were being carted off to prison as the five heroes made short work of them, leaving them nice and tied up for the cops.
The group didn't stop there either. Through the night, they continued with their work, stopping robberies, thwarting kidnapping attempts...and even helping the random pedestrian with more mundane things. All in all, while it was still small, they were taking their first steps into their eventual war against the one who held the reigns of the underworld of crime.
It wasn't long before the five of them were the subject of several news coverages. A new up and coming Hero Team, the Peace Keepers, had publicly vowed that they would not rest till the nation would be safe once again for all to live their lives in peace. A promise that they would soon prove to be dead serious about. No matter the danger, the Peace Keepers would arrive as soon as they could to quell the crisis, be it normal styles of criminal acts, to rampaging supervillains, they would always be there to stop them.
It wasn't long before their fame started to grow, and become a near household name as they rose through the ranks of heroes, quickly hitting the top 20 within a couple of months after their debut. They were notorious to the various criminal groups who conspired to remove them from the equation...but that notoriety soon became fear as every attempt to bring them down ended in failure. It wasn't long before people started to hail the Peace Keepers as 'unstoppable heroes', as within four months since their arrival, crime rates were plummeting with only the most notorious or bravest/dumbest of villains daring to challenge them...with zero success.
By the time half a year passed since their arrival, crime rates were at an all time low, and they were hands down considered the number 1 Hero Team in Japan, people even beginning to call them the 'Pillars of Peace' as their very presence was like a shining beacon to the people.
And while they got plenty of attention from those looking up to them… there were others.
Somewhere, completely hidden in a dark room, a figure sat in a chair, smirking at the screen as they watched the heroes work "So, the inheritor has returned… and he has friends… friends with potent quirks… especially hers." they said as they laughed darkly, looking at a still image of Lady Gate.
A couple of weeks soon passed, and things had been relatively slow. "Not that I'm complaining, but after all this time, the sudden lul in activity feels kinda...boring," Murasaki mused, as they were currently gathered inside their new Hero Agency, a fact they were all still having a bit of a hard time believing seeing as they were still (relatively) new. Either way, they all agreed this was a good step forward for them.
"All for One is likely biding his time, waiting for the best moment to strike us." Toshinori said with a frown.
"But while we wait for that… holy cow Tosh, have you SEEN how many views your official debut has online?" Hizashi asked, looking at a video of Toshinori's first appearance as All Might over in America, saving people from a burning wreck of a building, while proclaiming 'It's alright now, because I AM HERE!'
"Well, you can't really blame them. I mean, that's memorable as heck, and I'll bet lots of kids are gonna go crazy over stuff like this," Nemuri chuckled.
Meanwhile a green haired boy in the future sneezed while jumping in his seat, watching a video.
"Well, either way not much we can do," Shota shrugged. "Not like we have any clues where he is, or what he's up to. The only clue we have is he's got a bone to pick with anyone who has One For All...or is that the other way around," he mused.
"Point is, like it or not, we're on the defense," Murasaki sighed.
Right as she said that, they felt the building they were in shake, turning to the window… to see a VERY tall person rampaging down the street towards them, not much was identifiable on them, other than the fact they seemed to be made out of stone.
"Oh boy, gigantification user rampaging." Shota groaned.
"And he's headed right for us too," Murasaki frowned.
"Considering the reputation we've gotten lately, I think most Villains wouldn't be interested in fighting us head on so…" Nemuri sighed.
"Almost definitely one of All For One's followers," Toshinori nodded.
"Well, let's send him packing then!" Hizashi said, before the group were literally out the nearby windows they'd made specifically for this.
"Let's try to end this quickly," Shota said, activating his quirk, but the giant wasn't slowing down. "No good, it must be a Mutant type quirk." he frowned, annoyed that Mutant quirks were the only ones he couldn't deactivate.
"Well so much for the least destructive method," Murasaki frowned. "And he's too big for me to send somewhere else too!"
"Guess we'll have to stop him while trying to stop too much collateral, but just in case…" Hizashi frowned, before turning on his quirk. "Everyone in the vicinity please evacuate! We are about to engage a potential Supervillain in combat and have no easy way to stop them! I repeat, please evacuate immediately!"
Thankfully people were listening and quickly started getting out of there as soon as they could. Good thing too, as the opening move they went for was Toshinori charging and punching forward, clashing with a fist from the giant, creating a sizeable shockwave, pushing even his teammates back a bit.
"Yeeesh, he took that head on? This is going to be a tough one," Nemuri gulped.
"Let's try to lock him down a bit, then see if you can put him to sleep," Murasaki suggested, as currently Toshinori was slugging it out with the giant, who was weirdly fast despite his size. Relaying the plan to Shota, he nodded before using his bandages to move around the fight, trying to catch some of the giant's limbs with...limited success, but not before signalling to Toshinori, earning a nod from him. With a roar, Toshinori landed a strong blow, that actually pushed the giant back a little, while Shota tried to trap his limbs a bit more, before both got out of the way as a ring appeared over the giant, and a familiar mist hit it from the portal.
At first it almost seemed like it was going to work… before the radio around the giant's neck came to life, and a commanding voice was heard from it "Gigantomachia… destroy them." was all it said… and the giant roared as it suddenly GREW a few feet and started thrashing about even more.
"Seriously?!" Nemuri groaned.
"I don't think we're gonna be able to play nice anymore," Hizashi frowned.
"...and I just realized most of us aren't really suited for this kind of situation…" Murasaki groaned. "Mental note, try finding or making tools to give us more high power options."
"Nothing we can do about it for now," Toshinori frowned. "Right now we have a villain to stop!"
"You got it muscle man!" Hizashi grinned, before turning up the volume and hitting the giant with a large wave of sound, the moment the wave ended, Toshinori ran forward and started wailing on his face.
Down below, Shota was doing his best to keep the giant off balance, wrapping his legs with his bandages and trying to find things to attach the bandages too, hoping to trip up the giant, while Nemuri and Murasaki were peppering the giant with more sleep mist to try and slow him down...which had mixed results, especially when he started throwing stuff around, which Murasaki was thankfully able to send them away before they crushed anyone who was still too close to the area.
"Think we're wearing him down?" Hizashi asked...and got a roar in response.
"I'm thinking not NEARLY enough," Shota frowned. True enough the giant was going on a rampage, but rather than controlled like before...he was basically going berserk, attacking and destroying anything and everything around him.
Up above, a few news helicopters were recording everything they were seeing. However, one of them began to fly a little too close, and the giant was actually growing as he rampaged, enough so that he was soon large enough to grab one of the copters, which he tried to do.
"Oh no you don't!" Murasaki growled, opening a portal, which saved the helicopter, but the giant growled and threw some of the debris he had, forcing her to evade...and accidentally cut off her portal, a large limb hitting the ground a street away, while the giant roared in pain. "Uh...ooops?" she blinked.
"Not the first choice I'd go for...but it might be the advantage we need," Toshinori said, before Hizashi bombarded the giant with soundwaves again, while he jumped forward, and reared back his arm. "Texas...Smash!" he called out, landing a strong haymaker to the giant's face, and actually sending him skidding back.
Once again the voice from his collar spoke up. "That's enough Gigantomachia, withdraw!" was the order, to which the giant went and grabbed his severed limb, and soon ran away, his surprising speed allowing him to get away quickly.
"So… did we win?" Hizashi asked slowly.
"I don't think we did." Murasaki frowned.
"He was testing us." Toshinori added with a nod.
This wasn't over… not by a long shot.
Another week passed, thankfully quietly considering the chaos from before. It was another typical night, the group out on patrol to make sure nobody was stirring up trouble...until an explosion happened a few blocks away.
"And that's our cue," Murasaki frowned as currently she was with Hizashi.
"And with your portals we'll be there in a jiffy," Hizashi grinned, earning a nod as Murasaki opened a portal. She couldn't get a CLEAR shot, but she could get them there in two to three jumps.
The first jump deposited them on the roof tops, which allowed her to have a shot to just around where the smoke was coming from. With that, they quickly made a second jump, and landed on a rooftop that was just a couple (normal) jumps away from the source of the smoke. "Let's go," Murasaki said, as the two started to run. However, they didn't get far before they heard the sound of a motorbike.
"The frick?" Hizashi muttered as they turned to look, seeing a white motorcycle speeding down the road below towards where the explosion came from, the rider being only a green blue at the speed they were going.
"Another hero?" Murasaki said in surprise.
"Looks like it. Don't remember this one though." Hizashi said in confusion as they hurried to catch up. By the time they arrived though...
"...so...think we need to rescue the civilians or the thugs?" Murasaki asked half jokingly, as down below, the hero who arrived before them was… curb stomping… the thugs who'd blown open the wall connected to the building they were aiming to rob. His movements were precise and controlled, incapacitating them with ease. At the same time, now they could see him clearly.
Clearly, his suit had a bit of a grasshopper theme to it, wearing a black bodysuit with white lines going down the side, silver gloves and boots, a red belt with a silver buckle on the front, green chest armor, a red scarf, and a teal colored helmet with large red lens over his eyes and a pair of antennae.
"He kind of feels like he jumped right out of the Showa Era." Hizashi said, looking a bit confused.
"He DOES have that live action hero vibe, doesn't he?" Murasaki agreed. "Though I DEFINITELY haven't heard about him before in the Pro-Hero field. You?"
"Nope, not a peep," Hizashi shook his head. "...think he might be a Vigilante then?"
Murasaki hummed at that, looking at the hero closely, before shaking her head "Naw, it's hard to notice, but while his suit LOOKS shoddy, that's legit armor, the spandex looking part even seems to be made of a denser material."
"Oh yeah… now I see it… heh, I get what he's doing now. Making himself look like some random guy to throw off his first villains on his debut." Hizashi chuckled "Pretty clever."
"Too bad that's only for the first time. Though...with how he's doing so far, he doesn't REALLY need it," Murasaki mused as by now the thugs had all been subdued, the hero leaving them tied up for the police to collect when they arrived.
Before the hero could leave on his bike however, people came up to him to ask him questions, with the obvious big one of who he was.
"I aim to be one of this city's protectors! To stop the evildoers before they can get far in their endeavors! You can call me, Kamen Rider!" he declared, before he rode off on his motorcycle.
"...guess Tosh isn't the only one running for 'hammiest hero' awards, huh?" Murasaki snorted, earning a bark of laughter from Hizashi.
Time continued forward, and so far things had been stable. They'd stopped crime after crime, put villain after villain away, and as a result, slowly but surely climbing the ranks, even if they didn't care much about that. What DID worry them was the fact they'd still been unable to find any strong leads on All For One.
"The downside about knowing that there's something bigger hidden out there, you can't really enjoy peace," Nemuri sighed as once again the group was gathered in their headquarters.
"I know what you mean. Like this, we're the ones playing to his script since he probably knows more about us, but we know very little about him….even if just knowing he's around means we know to try and prepare," Murasaki sighed.
"In short, all we can do is stay the course," Shota frowned… right as an alarm rang out. "Speaking of which…" he sighed.
"What's the emergency?" Toshinori boomed as he and Hizashi came into the room.
"We've got a massive highway crash and a collapsing building," Shota said when he checked the info. "Both are within good distance so we can respond quickly. The only problem is we'll have to split up to deal with them."
"That doesn't sound very encouraging," Hizashi frowned.
"Well...not much we can do. Saving people comes first," Nemuri sighed. "So who should go where?"
"The highway crash might mainly need help to clear out the street and help the civilians, so any of us could deal with that. The building on the other hand…" Shota frowned. "I think it'd be best if Murasaki and Toshinori dealt with the building. Between One for All and Murasaki's portals, you should be able to get anyone trapped in there to safety."
"Agreed. Let's move out people!" Murasaki said.
"Jeez this is seriously a mess." Murasaki frowned as they were still getting people out of the building "How did this happen anyway?"
"I don't know." Toshinori frowned "And that's what worries me."
"Yeah, we're both worried this is a set up, but set up or no set up people are in danger, so we've gotta do this," Murasaki frowned.
"You're absolutely right," Toshinori nodded as they continued with the task at hand.
The building was in bad shape, and would probably crumble in an hour at most. There was a lot of ground to cover, so both of them worked tirelessly, getting people out of the building, and placing them on a nearby rooftop that was far away enough that they should be safe from anything, while the paramedics and rescue workers arrived to further help with the evacuation and recovery.
So far things were going smoothly, and all the signs seemed to be a pure accident. So much so they were starting to think this really WAS just coincidence. Eventually they managed to get the people out of the building, though Toshinori wanted to check for more people just in case. However…
"Seriously?" Murasaki groaned when she heard another explosion...from not too far away and saw some punk running off with a tv from a nearby electronics shop. "A building is going down and some people can only think about shoplifting?" she groaned in disgust, before turning to Toshinori. "You go ahead and check the building. I'll bag this dumbass."
With that, she ran after the idiot, using her portals to catch up to him quickly right as he ran into an alley, jumping in after him… and falling through some kind of smoky black portal.
"What the hell?!" she gasped when she tumbled through, and ended up in what looked like a rundown warehouse that hadn't seen use in quite some time. "Awww crap," she groaned, already seeing where this was going. True enough…
"Ah, Lady Gate, how nice of you to join us," a rather dark and foreboding voice said, to which she turned and saw what appeared to be a well dressed man in a black suit wearing a hat that shadowed his face, only showing his...less than settling grin.
"Let me guess… All For One?" Murasaki said, putting up a brave front even if inwardly she was afraid.
The man laughed "Perceptive. I see One For All's current user informed you about me. Not that it will do you much. And don't attempt to use one of your portals to get out, I have some… assistance to negate that." he said, and from the shadows stepped out a well dressed man with a metallic collar of sorts… and his head was just black smoke with two narrow yellow lights within.
Murasaki could easily guess he was the one who made that black smoke like portal… she didn't think she'd end up meeting someone with a quirk like hers though. "Well, since you've confirmed who you are, I can probably guess what's going to happen now. So I'll just say this much. You're gonna have to WORK to get it," she said defiantly.
"By all means, I quite enjoy the effort," AFO smirked, before a blast of flame emerged from his hands, which Murasaki blocked with a portal aimed right back at him...to which he simply aimed an ice blast at the exit portal, and cut off both powers at the same time.
Murasaki didn't sit still and started running, throwing a few smoke bombs to obscure the area...but they were blown away by a blast of wind, followed by spikes coming out of the ground when he placed a hand on the ground.
She continued to dodge and evade, using the occasional gadget to throw his aim off or get some distance, looking for a way out AND trying to see if she could find a way to deal with the black smoke guy. However, as it was, she couldn't dodge forever, and true enough, one such spike caught her in the side, making her grit her teeth in pain as she fell to the ground, clutching a bleeding side. However, she had no intention of giving up, and tried to keep moving...only to shout in pain as a spike rose out and stabbed her in the left leg.
"Your quirk is far from suited to battle. And you know that getting within my range would just make my job easier." All For One said, shaking his head "Admit it girl, you've lost. And now… your quirk is going to be mine, and your body will be put to good use in my experiments." he said darkly.
Murasaki looked at him with a furious glare, before spitting at the ground "Go fuck yourself asshole."
"I'll be sure to remove the annoying voice first," AFO said dryly, before his arms turned into well...putty-like, and before she could try to defend herself, she was enveloped in the stuff, but she tried to struggle to get out...and found that the stuff was acidic too, meaning what she got was slight burns and new holes in her suit. "You won't be escaping from that. Now be a good girl and give me your Quirk," AFO said simply, starting his power.
The moment he did, Murasaki gasped, feeling a cold feeling cover her as she felt like something was grabbing at a piece of her and slowly, deliberately tearing it out. That only made her struggles increase, but as it was, she didn't have any means to get out, instead hurting herself more as more of the acid got on her, burning her skin and parts of her suit, but she kept struggling frantically, the process now excruciating as she felt a part of her being being taken forcefully, the pain like nothing she'd ever felt, while she even felt her life start to flash before her eyes. "Help…" she gasped out even if there was nobody to hear it. Or was there…
The sound of a motorbike was heard...before a section of the wall exploded, a bike running through and cutting the section AFO was using to hold her down, the sudden cut of the power causing the mass of flesh to lose power and break down, allowing Murasaki to get out, but also leaving her in a very sorry state, parts of her skin an angry red with the burns, while her costume was in taters just barely keeping her modest, her hair disheveled and her mask half dissolved. Despite that, she could focus enough to see who had come to her rescue, seeing the familiar armored back of Kamen Rider. "Run, I will hold them off!" he said, before fearlessly charging forward, AFO launching his attacks, but Kamen Rider weaved through them and even blocked some with his strength, giving Murasaki time to pull herself away.
The black smoke person saw her and tried to stop her but… "Rider Kick!" Kamen Rider declared, kicking him right at his metal collar, the one part he couldn't protect, sending him flying back and into a pile of old crates.
"You're quite an annoyance!" AFO growled, extending his arm and grabbing Kamen Rider by the neck. "Let's see how well you do without a quirk!" However...he felt nothing. There was nothing to take. So surprised he was, that Kamen Rider easily cut off his arm with a cry of 'Rider Chop!'
"I do not know what you hoped to do, but judging by your words, I will say this much," Kamen Rider said. "You cannot take away what makes me strong! Rider Punch!"
AFO gasped as he was punched square in the chest, just barely managing to harden it, but the force was still enough that he was pushed back and hit the wall, and when he shook off the daze, he realized his quarry was gone, while Kamen Rider had already boarded his bike and made his escape. Seeing that, he grit his teeth, before letting out a roar of anger and frustration. Eventually though he calmed down. "No matter, I will deal with that Kamen Rider eventually. As for the girl...either way she won't be of any threat with those injuries," he smirked, knowing by now she'd probably be bleeding out somewhere.
Murasaki groaned as she pulled herself into a sitting position, slumped against the wall in some alleyway, bleeding out and in too much pain to use her quirk. She'd call for help, but her communicator had been taken away during her tumble through the black portal, and as it was, she wasn't in a familiar part of the city. In short, she was alone and badly wounded...and she knew it.
And the worst part… she was shaking. She was completely terrified. She'd nearly lost her quirk, and just narrowly avoided having who knows what done to her.
"I need… I need to get out of here." she said, looking around quickly, being wary of the area around her in case another black portal showed up.
"I have to leave… I NEED to leave, please let me leave…" she muttered as she pulled herself up and limped away, whimpering in fear as her eyes kept darting around, not even noticing as the remains of her mask fell off of her face.
"God… why was I so stupid? I… I should never have done this… I should have never been a hero… I don't want to be a hero anymore… it's just a big target… please god let me get out of here…" she muttered, shakily raising an arm and trying to open a portal, one of her golden rings appearing slowly, growing large enough for her to fit through, the inside the same dark purple as it usually was when it lacked a destination, though as she reached out for it it seemed to spark, and the interior became white right as she fell in, the portal closing behind her, cutting off some of her cape, and her hair ornament, the two falling the ground silently.
… and no other portal opened up anywhere on Earth…
Almost there.
Also, yeah, Kamen Rider Ichigo... I'm sure you can guess what this means, right?
Hope you're ready for the final chapter!
