Toshinori had chased at where Inko once stood, rushing to her in the hopes of grabbing onto the green haired woman only to fall once she and Princess Kira had vanished. Slamming his fist into the ground, cracking the tile as he cursed every known curse in the book. "Inko!" shouted the blonde, feeling as if he had just failed her. He failed the only woman that he could ever love. The one woman that he had given his heart too!

"Dad, we will save her. I know where she is." Izuku said with a frown as he rushed to his father. Helping the fallen blonde up onto his feet with some difficulty as Toshinori was still massive compared to the green haired young man.

"Is this why you didn't like her?" asked Toshinori softly, he was trying to hold in everything. Not wanting to explode with his emotions at the moment.

"I have heard stories about her from you in my time. You have mentioned how much the woman irritated you. How you always had this dark feeling." Izuku said with a frown as he crossed his arms across his chest. "There have been rumors otherwise. Though I can't be sure as to how true the rumors were."

"Such as?"

"Uh… well, I couldn't confirm them with you since you had uh… already passed but, the rumor was that someone who called himself 'All For One' had a child with someone and they had inherited his quirk before he died years ago, both in this time and mine. But no one could prove such a thing."

"Wait, All For One is dead?" Toshinori said with a frown on his face. He didn't think that the man was really dead. So that was why he had never seen the man but, if that was the case then what about those who are stealing the quirks? Kidnapping those with powerful quirks? Crossing his arms across his chest, the young king frowned a little in deep thought. It is possible, but he couldn't be sure.

Shaking his head, Toshinori looked over at Izuku as he said "Time to remove the mask and go save your mother. If you are still here, then she is still alive. We have to hurry."

Izuku nodded his head as he removed his mask and showed Toshinori the determination on his face as he got himself ready for a fight. A fight that would decide the fate of their future. Though they just hoped that Inko would be okay. They had too much riding on this, too much to lose. If Inko died, Toshinori would be heart broken, and Izuku would cease to be.

"Toshinori?" came a voice, causing the king and Izuku to turn over and blink as they saw Tenko. Usagi was in his arms as he looked up at the two adults with wide red eyes. "Where's Inko?" He looked ready to cry as the tears started to build up in his eyes. He was turning into Inko that was for sure though Toshinori knew that he had to comfort the boy. Turning to Izuku, he nodded his head to him before walking over to the young boy.

Picking Tenko up into his arms, he calmly said "My boy, I will not lie to you. She's been kidnapped but we are going to save her. Nothing will stand in my way, I will make sure that she is back with us safe and sound."

"Can I come? I want to help." Tenko said with a sniffle.

"Sorry, but it is too dangerous for you to go. If you went, there is a chance that you wouldn't be safe. The shadow may go and attack you."

"Shadow?"

"Yes, it was a woman who can turn into shadows that took her."

Tenko started to shake, it made Toshinori and Izuku frown a little in confusion at that. Turning his blue eyes to Izuku, the green haired man tilted his head before saying "He got like this too during the war. He would start shaking for some reason. He never did tell me, saying that as my older brother it wasn't my burden to carry."

Toshinori turned back to the sniffling boy in his arms as he asked "What do you know about the shadow woman Tenko? Do you know anything at all?"

"Mommy and daddy were her slaves. They were only placed there because my grandma was a warrior and had heard about how the king was treating us and went to help mommy and daddy." Tenko said with a sniffle, snuggling himself a little closer to Toshinori's chest as if trying to keep himself safe from the story itself. "Grandma was able to stop the king, but… she died in the process leaving me, mommy and daddy alone to deal with the princess. She treated us horrible day in and out."

"Tenko…" Toshinori whispered.

"We were abused, she would have killed me but mommy and daddy managed to hide me and told me to run." Tenko said as he started to wipe at his eyes. Toshinori couldn't help but frown in concern. This boy had gone through so much. It was no wonder why he was so jittery around people, not to mention why he seemed a little nervous around the blonde king at first until he remembered that the king had saved him. "I watched mommy and daddy die."

Toshinori couldn't help but look at the boy with wide eyes. "Oh Tenko." Izuku whispered in shock.

"Toshinori, who's that guy?" asked Tenko.

"Oh, that's-"

"He looks like Inko."

"Well you see-"

"Why is that? Did Inko get turned into a man by a quirk?"

"No Tenko he's-"

"But-"

"Tenko!"

"Sorry."

"That's Zuko, well, his real name is Izuku and I can't explain everything now. I'll have to leave you with Shouta and Hizashi. We're going to go save Inko from-"

"Princess Kira?" Tenko said with a sniffle.

"How did you?"

"Princess Kira is the mean princess that killed my mommy and daddy, my grandma killed the king who called himself All For One."

Toshinori's eyes widened in shock.


Inko groaned a little. Her whole body hurt, going through that portal or whatever it was made of. It brought her to another castle. She knew that it wasn't her home as it was far from the one that Toshinori had. This one, it felt cold, evil. It made her shudder at the feeling, though she knew that she would have to find a way to get out of here. To escape and get back to Toshinori, Izuku, Tenko and the others.

"So you have awoken." Came Kira's voice, causing Inko to look over in shock. "To think, the one person who could reawaken Toshinori's desires and feelings would be a slave like you." Kira said with a sneer.

Inko glared at the woman, trying hard not to show the fear in her eyes. This was the woman that had caused everything, the death of Toshinori's family. The reason why the man was afraid to show any kind of emotion to anyone. Why he had felt that he had to hide what he felt in order to protect himself from getting close to anyone. From allowing himself to have any kind of bonds with anyone. The woman who had tried to kill Toshinori himself years ago.

She had never felt so much hate for someone in her life. To think, before Inko had only really ever hated her past masters, this woman though, took that lead by a landslide. "You killed Toshinori's family and tried to kill him!" Inko all but shouted.

Kira laughed before pushing herself up from her throne and made her way over to Inko and smirked at her. "Kill him? No, I would never do that to him." Running her fingers through her hair, the princess went on. "I only wanted his family out of the way. I had hoped, that his loneliness would be enough to him that he would need to marry and pick me as his bride. Yet, he eluded that duty for years." Kira snarled a little, her hands sparking in flames before she started to calm herself.

"So you hoped, that killing his family in cold blood would have made him love you?!"

"Yes, but that plan failed. So, I tried to make myself known in his life more often in the hopes of him loving me but every time, he would deny me that." Kira said with a dramatic sigh as she leaned back in her seat. "To think, my father when he was alive told me that I could have anyone and anything I would ever want."

"But you could never have Toshi, that's why you want him. Because he is the one thing that never wanted you or wanted to be near you." Inko narrowed her eyes at him. "You don't see Toshi as a person, you see him as an object to have on your pedestal. As something to rule and conquer, something to possess because he is the person that rejected you."

"Shut up!" shouted Kira as she snarled at Inko and narrowed her eyes. "What makes you so special to Toshinori?!"

Inko narrowed her eyes more into slits. This woman thought that she could have anyone in her life. Thought that way of thinking was the reason why Toshinori was the way he was today. Why he had to hide his emotions. The reason why he became 'The Emotionless King' was all because of this woman's fault. "You still tried to kill him with his family."

"No, I just wanted him down for the count. I avoided any important organs that he would need to live off of. I just wanted him to be in too much pain to stop me. Though, I have to admit he is a powerful man. Having been able to stand on his feet, after such an injury no less. To think, he wasn't even a fully trained warrior." Kira said with a laugh before giggling to herself.

Inko could only stare in shock at this woman. It seemed that this woman did in a way have some kind of heart unless she only spared Toshinori because she wanted him alive. Because she wanted to be his queen. To have him as the one thing that took her longer to take than anything else in the world. It just made Inko know one thing that was all she needed to know about this woman.

She was nothing but pure evil.

"Though, the one thing that I was rather surprised about was that he had One For All. I was sure that Nana still had the power herself but it explained why I couldn't take the power from her after all this time." She smirked, her once beautiful face consumed with hate, green and evil. "To think, my future husband will have the power that was used to destroy my father, the true power and not the embers!"

"You'll never have Toshinori!" shouted Inko.

"Oh? What makes you think that?" sneered Kira as she placed her hand on her cheek with a fake look of concern on her face. "Oh right, because his heart already belongs to another right? Because he had chosen you of all people to be his bride?" Kira mocked before pushing herself up from her seat and made her way over to the green haired woman and smirked down at her. "That is right, Toshinori's heart does indeed belong to you but, I just have to crush that now won't I?" She giggled a little before reaching out and swiped at Inko.

Though, Inko had managed to grab something, it was soft so she figured it was a pillow before throwing it in Kira's face. Making a mad dash to get out of the room. Hiking her dress up as she ran as quickly as she could. If she could just get outside, find someone that would be willing to help her then she should be fine. Right? That was all that she had to do.

Was to find a means of escape and get herself back to Toshinori and everyone at the castle. There was no way that she would allow herself to die here. She had to live, had to be with Toshinori before it was too late!

Inko knew that she had to keep running. Though unlike Toshinori's castle, she had no idea where she was going. Every corner looked the same. It just seemed as if the whole castle was against her. That it was going to do everything within its power to make sure that she stayed trapped in here. That she could never leave, that she was going to die here.

Nothing was going to stop her though. She had to make sure that she was able to get out of here. That she had to make sure that she could escape, that she could return to Toshinori and Izuku.

There had to be a means for her to escape this place. To find a way out of here, in order to get back to her family, to get back to the people who care and love her. She wouldn't allow herself to die here.

"Toshi, I hope you are coming to get me, because I'm trying to get to you." Inko pleaded, she just hoped that she could get out of here in time. There was no way that she would allow herself to die, the young woman just wished that her quirk was more powerful. That she could do something else other than bring small objects to herself. This was no way to keep herself safe. She knew that she had to think of a means of protecting herself.

But what could she do?

She was pretty much as good as being quirkless.

Tightly shutting her eyes, Inko made a sharp turn, slamming herself into the wall in the process. "Gotta keep moving." Inko said to herself as she kept running forward.

"Oh you think you could escape me?" came Kira's voice, causing Inko to look around wildly. She wasn't sure where the woman was, there was no way that the woman could be around. It just seemed as if she was anywhere, other than in front or behind her. So where could she be?

"Did you really think I would allow yourself to escape? That I would allow you to live for that matter. Before Toshinori even arrives, I'll kill you. Or even better yet, maybe I'll kill you in front of him. Without you in the picture, I'll be able to have him for myself."

"Never, I won't allow myself to die. I have too many people depending on me!" Inko all but shouted as she narrowed her green eyes at the shadows. Having a feeling that the woman was hiding within the shadows. If she could become shadow, then what difference did it make that she could hide in the shadows or even travel through them?

Not wanting to find out, Inko ran down the hall, and it was a good thing for a moment not long afterwards, a burst of flames shot out of the shadows where she had once stood. Inko screamed out in fear as she tried to push herself faster. Trying to push herself harder so she could get out of here and get away from this hell.

'Toshinori, please hurry! I'm scared right now!' Inko thought as tears streamed down her face.

"Hello!" said Kira as she appeared out of the shadows. Inko cried out in shock as she quickly turned and made another sharp turn. Though this time was able to prevent herself from running into a wall. Why was it that this woman was mostly just tormenting her? That she was trying to mess with Inko until the woman seemed to give up and would just give herself to death.

Though, Inko knew that she couldn't allow herself to do such a thing. There was no way that she would allow that to happen. She would never, ever give up hope. The hope of escaping this place and returning to Toshinori was far more powerful than her fear. Than her despair to this mad woman that was just tormenting her.

Shaking her head, Inko blinked as she found herself at a dead end. No! "No!" She shouted out in a cry before she went to turn back, hoping that she would be able to get out of this place before it was too late. Yet, before she could even get far, Kira emerged from the shadows, causing Inko to back up in fear. Her back pressing against the stone walls as she stared at the woman as she seemed to walk forward toward the green haired woman.

"Well, it was fun while it lasted, but I think the little game is over now. Let's get this done shall we?" She made her nails grow out into long sharp blades. Inko went pale at the sight, she felt like this was it. That she was going to die before she could have made Toshinori happy. Before hearing the man laugh anywhere other than his room or his study.

She had wanted to see him be happy. To show his emotions anywhere without having to hide and now she felt like that was never going to happen.

"Toshinori!" shouted Inko.

"Inko!" shouted a male's voice, causing Inko to look up with a frown on her face. Looking around, she saw that Kira had also stopped in her tracks trying to find the source of the voice. Yet, before they could even utter a word, a shout was heard as someone seemed to slam their fist into the wall. Inko looked over and blinked in shock as she saw Toshinori's fist through the stone. Her heart thudded quickly in her chest at the sight.

"Mom!" Izuku shouted as he jumped over the rubble and rushed over to the green haired woman. "Oh thank goodness you're alright. We got to you in time." Izuku said with a soft sigh.

"Izuku?" Inko said with a sniffle.

"You bitch." Growled Toshinori, causing Inko to look up and blink in shock. The man, the very man that she loved didn't have his emotionless mask. No, far from it. He was showing so much rage, so much hate that Inko was sure that he had given himself to darkness but there was still the desire to protect within his depths. He wasn't fully gone, still there but at the same time he still wanted revenge. "You took my entire family from me, I don't know why but I'll make sure you don't hurt anyone ever again." Toshinori snarled as he marched forward, in his All Might state before glowering down at the princess.

Inko knew, that this was a fight that could either save, or destroy the future.
