Masa backed away from the room, he took a deep breath as he looked at the stairs back to the surface... sweat began to fall from his face onto the ground. Masa wiped his face, he remembered the attack in the US...

"Worried too?"

Masa quickly turned his head, he saw his friend, Karasu Itami standing next to him.

"yeah.. yeah a little bit. Kou ain't around is he?"

Karasu shook his head regrettably

"he's on the southern side of Japan. Heroes are too stretched there for him to join us here."

Masa let out a frustrated sigh

"we've clearly have the power... all they have is... is.."

"the numbers. Each time they kill one of us, they grow in numbers."

Masa looked at his friend with despair in his eyes

"got a drink?"

Karasu chuckled, he pulled his flask out of his pocket, and unscrewed it. Masa took it from his hand and took a long drink.

"how'd you know?!"

"I heard it sloshing around in your belt. Eck- is this American Whisky?!"

Karasu laughed

"that noticeable? I thought I watered it down enough... it was... Nemui's. You remember his love for hard liquors."

Masa held the flask in his hand for a second... he looked up at Karasu

"I miss him, Yknow? There are times, I'm talking to someone, and I turn my head to make a joke with him.. or ask him for his opinion."

Karasu nodded

"I know exactly how you feel... I miss him too. It feels... empty."

Masa paused for a second

"at least he's with Naomi."

Karasu smiled softly

"that's a good way to put it... what do you think he would say right now?"

Masa thought for a second... he tried his best to impersonate Nemui

"LISTEN FUCKERS!! WE NEED TO FIND MICHI BEFORE MY DUMBFUCK OF A SON GETS HIS CARD PUNCHED! Or something like that..."

Karasu laughed as he took a sip...

"I guess we should go meet with... "Mr. America" huh?"

masa nodded... regretfully the two of them returned to the surface.

as everyone began to leave the basement of hermitage, Hana stayed back, in her hands was a bucket of soapy water and a rag... she slowly approached Senshi. Senshi slowly looked up at her, noticing the bucket

"what? Here to water board me for information next?"

Hana sighed.. putting the bucket down, she began to clean Senshi's wounds and patch him up. She started with the cuts on his legs

"you don't need to do this."

Hana paused for a second... she spoke softly

"Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet.. you also should wash one another's feet."

Senshi scoffed

"the fuck? The Bible? I thought you were a Buddhist?"

Hana moved up to Senshi's face, as she cleaned it she spoke again

"there isn't much to read now that your people destroyed most books.. I borrowed Michi's copy.. it's a good read."

Senshi rolled his eyes, and tried to pull away

"alright that's enough!"

Hana grabbed his face, pulling him in closer, she taped a cut close so it wouldn't scar

"you've got enough scars already. You don't want to look like a murderer now do you? Although, you may want to match the look with the actions, huh?"

Senshi sighed...

"for what it counts for.. I regret what I did to... UA... there were many innocent lives."

Hana ignored him as he rambled

"I have killed those who deserved it.. and those who didn't. That is my sin to bare."

Hana's voice cracked

"no one deserves to die, Senshi."

Hana placed her hands back into the bucket, reigning out the dirty water, but she paused... tear drops started to fall into the bucket as Hana couldn't keep her emotions in check, Senshi noticed this

"thank you.. for talking to me. My father, and mother... they didn't even look at me.. Shizu and Fugu left immediately, but you didn't.. than-"

Hana stood up, running out of the basement

"You have NO right!! No right at all!"

Senshi watched as Hana left... he remembered growing up with her, as she ran out he laughed for a moment

"after all these years, you still have that goofy, goofy run..."


Karasu Itami

Karasu walked towards the recon group of soldiers and Mr. America, Mr America put his hands out with a smile

"My my, it's good to see you old friend!"

Karasu did not shake the man's hand, and instead looked unfazed. Mr america turned to his sergeant

"Sergeant, go reinforce these encampments. We need more space for the homeless. This place is a mess so I want this place fixed up ASAP!"

squads began to roll out reinforcing hermitage.. Karasu looked Mr America in the eyes

"what the hell are you doing here? You and your brother trying to get another shot at One for All?"

Mr america shook his head

"that ain't very nice Mr. Itami. Now, I'm here on a diplomatic mission, here to help a common ally."

Mr America smiled as he pulled Karasu in

"Listen. My brother isint here. I'm here to keep face got it? And don't fucking forget, you are the fuckers that "kicked down my door. And blew up my yard. So, when I back away, and the camera man can see our faces, you are going to smile, and shake my hand. And I'm gonna unfuck the situation that you, and your halfling CHINKS you put the world in. Got it?"

as Mr. America back away, Karasu shook his hand.. rage filled his lungs as he did so. He gritted his teeth as he said,

"thank. You. For. Being. Here."

A flash of a camera went off as Mr. America once again whisper to Karasu

"that right there? I shoved my dick down your throat... and you THANKED me for it."

Mr. America left to interact with his heroes and soldiers... Karasu's eyes became bloodshot with rage, knowing that he cannot cause a scene, or request them to leave. He had no choice.


Andras Higgs

Andras walked through the corridor's of his underground base, with a smile, he walked towards a large room, as he entered there was a boy with green hair sitting in the room

"hello Sir, where to this time?"

"I'll be going to, Co-Habitat 2."

the green haired boy nodded, using his quirk he instantly teleported Andras to another bunker. Andras typed in a code, as he entered he saw a giant tank, in the center of it was Michi Shinomori. Andras smiled as he turned to some quirk scientists

"so, any luck?"

the scientist looked up from his console, bowing his head to Higgs

"hello Sir! So far, we have been able to isolate his quirk... though there isn't much we can really do with it.. we can confirm him, and Izuku Midoriya have exact carbon copy quirks! However..."

Higgs listened to the scientist, the scientist extracted some of Michi's blood, putting it on a Petri dish

"Michi's quirk seems... "combustible"... whenever his quirk activated, his blood begins to die out, it's a slow process, but.. it seems for Michi his quirk is lethal."

Higgs nodded

"yes, yes the quirk instability theory, so he is evidence of this?"

the scientist nodded

"kind of... it's easy to find a quirk fellow that is evidence of this theory. The problem is.. for the purpose that Tarú and Jaaku have planned for him, it makes things more problematic."

Andras nodded, he looked at Michi in the giant tankard

"Have you been updating Jaaku of this information?"

the scientist nodded

"he is fully aware of what is going on.. he is actually funding us to... continue research even further."

Andras looked at Michi, using his quirk, he noticed something

"is.. he dead?"

the scientist was surprised

"great observation sir!! Um.. he's somewhat in between. He is in a coma like state thanks to a drug we are feeding him. He will not be waking up any time soon."

Higgs nodded.. it seems all things were in order.


Michi Shinomori

Michi slowly "opened" his eyes, he was back in One for All's vestige world

"where am I? What happened...? What is this place...?"

five suddenly poked Michi's head,

"I think the kid's brain is cooked!"

Michi swatted five's hand out of his face, frustrated, he slowly stood up, seeing that he was back in one for all

"why am I here?"

one spoke calmly

"do you remember what happened?"

Michi paused for a second

"I had an argument with Midoriya. I ignored him and..."

Michi finally realized

"Goddammit..."

Michi grabbed his hair, he began to stress realizing he doesn't even know what is happening right now

"am I dead?!"

two had an outburst

"NO YOU DUMB ASS BUT YOU COULD AT ANY DAMN SECOND!"

Midoriya put his hand out trying to calm Two

"Michi... it seems like you have been captured. But they seem to be studying you more than... anything else. Thankfully."

Michi was still stressed

"why aren't I waking up?"

All Might stood up speaking

"there was more damage to your body than we thought, you had a concussion, plus this drug they're giving you, so you've been.. healing and we've been waiting for a chance to speak to your unconscious mind. We don't have long. Right now, we're only able to speak because they're injecting you with the drug as we speak. Soon you will be gone once again."

Michi fell to his knees realizing how badly he messed up.

two spoke out

"you better feel bad you dumb ass. We get it.. you were angry, you lost your father, now you feel as if you and your sister are alone. It sucks. We've lost people too. But being reckless only jeopardizes the mission and yourself. Revenge is a fool's game. Look at Eight. In the pursuit of revenge, he paid with his body. It happened to me, and it happened to three. Learn from our mistakes ten. We beg of you or you may lose everything!!"

Michi nodded

"what do I do now?!"

everyone looked at each other, one spoke

"be ready for anything. We aren't sure what to do here, but prepare yourself. We may just have to wait for the right moment to escape."

Michi started to drift away. He began to panic

"I'll... I'll do better!! I'll do-"

Michi began to drift off to sleep... as he did he began to worry... Shizu... Fugu... Miko...

a memory came to mind of himself at Mari...

Michi was in bed with Mari, the two were holding one another as they kissed.. Mari smiled as she sat up, putting her hand on Michi's chest.. she turned her head a little bit, muttering, being a little embarrassed

"Do you want to... um..."

Michi sat up, he put his hand on her shoulder as he listened to her

"umm.. "blow off some steam?"

Mari began to laugh, covering her face

"that was so dumb for me to say. Forget I said anything!!"

Michi laughed as he grabbed her hands.. he looked her in the eyes as his heart began to speed up.

"umm.."

he smiled with embarrassment

"I kind of want to wait for... all of that."

"ohh really? How old fashioned!"

Mari laughed as she hugged him

"I'm fine with that too."

Michi smiled as he pulled her in

"there is one thing I want to do."

Mari looked confused as she looked at Michi

"I.. no matter how much time I have left um.. I want to spend it with you!"

Mari smiled, flattered... she kissed him

"hmm... interesting. It almost sounds like you're saying you want to-"

"I want to be with you. With you with you. You and I... officially.. Yknow?"

Mari smiled

"I accept, but you've gotta work on how you phrase your proposals."

Michi drifted asleep to this memory.. as his eyes closed,

Mari opened hers.. washing her hair after a hard fought battle... she looked down at her hands, covered in cuts and bruises.. she let out a shocked scream as she ran them under the running water of her shower.. after a while, she sat down on the floor of the shower, activating her quirk, she went flying around, looking for any sign of Michi as a spirit. Finding nothing, she returned to her body, and got out of the shower. As she got out of her bathroom and went into her room, Miko was sitting at her table drawing

"Hey sweetie, what are you drawing?"

Miko scribbled some more.

"I'm drawing Mommy and Daddy welcoming Michi."

Mark looked at the drawing, as she examined the drawing, she saw Angel halos on all of the drawings

"Sweetie..."

Mari hugged Miko, a tear fell from her eye

"I promise you sweetie, your brother is okay."

Miko sniffled slightly, wiping her eyes

"how do you know? He's been gone for ever."

Miko looked up, as she tried to breathe and keep her composure

"I know.. but that doesn't mean he's gone forever. He's just..."

Mari took another deep breath

"you know. I bet he got distracted helping someone, but now, he's on his way back to play with you!"

Miko looked up at Mari, she hugged her tightly as tears fell from her eyes.. Mari began crying as well...

"he's okay... he's okay... he will be..."

okay.
