"What do you mean you'll bring me to the surface?" The flow of gas didn't stop Geus. It intensified with its heat; the chair burned from the legs up, and the hardwood floor melted down. "What's the catch?"
"Well, of course, it's not going to happen right now. I just broke the first bone in your body." Chisaki stepped up past the barrier that protected them all. In the first second Geus's gas quickly melted down his shoes to the ground. And still, Chisaki kept his composure.
Geus pulled back on his gas, gaining the ability to relax his body. It wasn't on his own though, it felt like somebody else infected his body. He dropped down to one knee, his own gas rubbed against his knee and melted his pants to his legs. His gas dropped to lower amounts; barely able to drift past his chin.
Chisaki walked up yo Geus and got down to his height. Very carefully his gloved hand grabbed the material from Geus's leg and slid it off. "It really did work," Chisaki commented at how perfectly intact Geus's leg was. Against his own gas Geus's body no longer reacted negatively to it. "I'm not done bending your body. And now I know it doesn't have to do with violence. Another point Iroh had correct I guess."
"The fuck does that mean." Geus's body has only gotten weaker. Majority of his limbs turned numb and unable to move.
"We're forever expanding. Getting stronger, I've made a few allies I think you'd like to meet." Chisaki stood up and turned his body to aline with the doorframe.
"Geus?" Keena's voice asked.
Geus's eyes bulged from his head. The veins popped from his forehead and his eyes strained hard enough to pop blood vessels inside them. The strength he had left couldn't make him move. His upper body moved only an inch forward for it to collapse.
"You're dead." Geus grumbled. "I'm not supposed to see you anymore. The voices are gone, I'm free of sin!"
"I thought the voices are the ones that gave your weak body power." Nemoto pressed the barrel of the gun directly into the back of the head of Geus. "Why do you still reject them?"
"The voices aren't real. They lead me into a path of desperation and weakness. They led me to see only the hatred of my life. Just like seeing Keena's dead body."
Keena's body jumped from the back side of the doorframe. His smile widened and his arms extended from side to side. "I'm not dead! I'm not even real!"
"Get out!"
"If you insist." Keena's head lowered with a devious smile now spread across his cheeks. His skin suddenly turned into gray sludge. Chunks fell from his face at the same time his tiny body grew. "I thought it would've been a happy thing seeing your only loving family." Keena's voice now wasn't Keena's. It was feminine, and not the kind Geus liked. It was painful, only bringing horrid memories into mind. "Oh well. I'll get you to like me one way or another." The face of Toga stood in the place where the sludge wasn't.
Geus had to bite down on his gums to keep himself from screaming. "I'm going to kill you. I'm going to trap you in my gas and stab you over and over and over and over and over and over again."
Toga's face turned red, a small moan escaped her mouth as her body clenched. "Oh please." She begged. Her nearly naked body ran past the rest of the Expendables and to Geus. She slid down to her knees and embraced Geus face into her body. "After you stab my naked body, I'm going to stab you the same amount of times and drink your blood."
"What the fuck is wrong with you."
"Don't stab her you'll kill her!" Twice came out of the same area Toga did. His body becoming similar to her's as he curled up into a ball in pure fear. "Stab her!" His body jumped out into a heroic stance. Both his arms in front of his head and clenched like he tried gripping a basketball really hard. "Stab her, kill her!"
"These two also needs to prove their alliance with me. And to do that, they're going to break the rest of your 205 bones." Chisaki cleaned off his glove and began to walk to the door. "Nemoto, come with me. You've done a good job. Katsukame, release Sansei." He turned back to the forever struggling body on the ground. "It's up to them to get him under control."
Nemoto pulled back his gun. "If they fail we'll be here to help." He spat.
"They won't fail." Chisaki said. "They can't afford to."
"Twice! Go get my gear!" Toga ordered.
"What? Don't tell me what to do!" Twice shouted back. "Of course I will, anything for you Toga!"
The rush of his strength rushed back into his system. Fully rejuvenated of his quirk and vitality. Toga didn't notice the change in Geus's nature. She being too indulged in comforting him was blinded.
Geus took the new opportunity given to him. His arms wrapped around her slim waist and hooked around the back. Toga took the sudden movements as a slight surprise. Geus powered his energy through his legs and lifted the girl into the air. The brute strength continued and powered her into the wall.
Toga covered her face; screaming and turning even more red than before. "You're going to see me naked! Don't look!" She screamed. She wiggled more to cover her self and to be unseen by Geus than to escape.
Geus turned his face into Toga's body, but his beak became stuck in her armpit. His face turned just as red as Toga's was. He rubbed his cheek into the mound of soft flesh he was buried in. As soon as he felt a soft flick on his nose he instantly stopped.
"Mineta." He whispered.
Geus opened his mouth, allowing the gas to fill around their bodies. A perfect thin layer of hardened gas wrapped around Toga's entire body, only leaving alone her head and neck. He pulled himself off from her, fully seeing the girl. With the gas used as an anchor on the wall, Toga was able to be eye level with him.
"What are you going to do to me?" Her seductive voice asked.
"I'm going to stab you, over and over again." A straight needle stabbed through Toga's leg and into the wall. A small whimper left her mouth, it was a rather light attack but still felt like a nail gun hit her shin. "I'm going to hurt you, so fucking bad."
"Don't do it Geus!" Keena's voice carved into Geus's head. Geus squeezed his eyes shut and shook the feeling out of his head. "Geus let her go!"
Geus smacked his hands into his eyes. "Not again." He grumbled. Geus continued to furiously rub his eyes and pace in a small line. "They're supposed to be gone, not here."
He felt a small body grab and wrap around his hip. Geus froze, his breath stopping still and turning his gas into a full solid. His head snapped at Toga, eyes bloodshot and tear-filled. "What did you do to me?"
"Too... Tight." She gasped in response.
His head was stammered to look at the ground. Eyes fought against his command to look down. Only able to catch a glimpse of the ground. They shot open and locked with the growth around his leg. His shaky hand went down to the ball of brown hair at his waist. It felt real and full, not an illusion at all.
"What the hell is this?"
"Where's mommy? I'm scared." Keena's voice echoed.
Geus grabbed a tuff full of the hair and pulled it back. "Son of a bitch." His eyes comprehended what they saw. The innocent silver eyes. They don't tell any lies. "Keena."
"I-I saw the body, they buried you. Those people killed you." Geus's eyes filled in with the purple tint. Three spikes grew out from the outside of Toga's shell. All jagged back in and pointed for his head. "She told me you were gone."
"Don't hurt Toga." Keena pleaded. "She's the one that saved me."
Geus smiled under his mask, grabbing the hood of the All Might hoodie and pulled it up and over his head. "How the hell did your mother ever agree to that?"
"She said as long as I don't tell my secret to grandpa."
Geus dropped down to one knee and looked Keena in the eyes with one of his eyebrows raised up. "What secrete?"
"You can't tell grandpa." He pouted. Geus nodded his head slightly down. "Okay." Keena pulled up his hands and showed Geus his palms. The skin on each of his fingers slightly turned transparent. All the veins in his hands showed through and turned purple. A thin layer of gas poured through his fingers and flowed down. "Don't tell grandpa."
Geus couldn't help but chuckle. He grabbed the back of Keena's head and pulled him in. He curled the boy as hard as he could inside his arms. Tightening down around the hood and hiding the tears inside the bright yellow hoodie.
"You silly, I already saw that before. Don't you remember."
"No." Keena answered. "I only remember the guy in black taking measurements of me then black."
Geus pulled Keena out from his and held him at arm's length. His eyes narrowed down into those sensitive eyes, something didn't feel right about this to Geus. "Keena, is everything okay?"
Keena didn't respond with the same eye contact or even looked that much concerned. His now normal hands pointed over Geus's shoulder. "She's turning purple."
Geus sighed and reluctantly released Toga out of her entrapment. His body swiveled from Keena and over to Toga, managing to catch her before she hit the ground. She gasped at Geus's clutch, her eyes widened and full of shock. His hands tight around her shoulders but not in a death grip.
Toga realized he wasn't after to kill her. Still shocked, she used the time inside his arms to regain her breath. "Can I stab you now?"
"Is he real?" Geus whispered into her ear.
"He's real, real as he could ever be." She answered back.
"What did you do to his hair?"
Toga's head slightly arched back. "Hair? He always had that ridiculous bowl cut."
Geus squeezed tighter around her body. "Whatever I have to do to keep him safe I'll do it. I just want to protect him."
Toga pushed slightly out of Geus's grip, gaining the ability to wiggle her arms out from him. She embarrassed Geus's face with them, fixing his head to face her directly. "I only ask one thing." She whispered. Her hads cupped under the connections of the mask and pulled it off. "No matter what." Her hands moved up to his cheeks and pulled him in close. "Listen to only me." Before he could respond Toga pulled him into her lips.
'She's saved him. And given me my first kiss.' Geus's eyes closed on him. Embracing Toga's gift of love. 'I'm going to get you out of here Keena, and Eri too.'
"That's gross!" Keena pretended to gag while he covered his eyes. "That's what mommy used to do to daddy. Yuck!"
Geus broke the kiss, laughing slightly and released a belly ached sigh. "How do you even remember that? You were like five when you last saw him."
"I never forget gross things, it's like a curse."
"Huh, you sound like your mother."
"Such a peaceful woman." Twice made his steps into the room. His upper arms at his sides and his forearms slightly out and up in the air. "Too bad she has to die!" Twice's body jerked back to the door, his body over extruding his movements. His legs split wide and his upper body bowed to his midsection. "See? I told you Toga could do it no problem. Yeah! The kid is just a person with children issues!"
"I apologize." Chisaki said before he entered the room. He immediately turned Geus back into attack mode. The restraint he had placed in his throat released and exploded out the gas. "I had no idea the boy actually held that much value to you. Miria never once mentioned any connection between you." Chisaki walked to the boy and reached down for him.
The flow in Geus's quirk doubled, it wrapped around his arms and created the soft spots. "Touch him and I will kill you." Geus threatened.
Chisaki hesitated for a moment before he continued again. "It's okay Sansei." He scooped under Keena's arms and picked him up. "I won't hurt the boy, I'm not a monster."
"I know what you've done to Eri, you so much as create a red mark with your hands"
"You'll do what?" Chisaki interrupted. "We already established you can't do anything to me." His arms slashed through each other out of nowhere. Mud splashed from his hands and gooped to the ground.
All of Geus's animalistic instincts took over. The soft spots in his arms all ejected spikes from them and smashed into the concrete around him. More and more of his gas left his system and filled up the hollowness of the spikes. His own survival didn't matter to him anymore, alive or dead he was after Chisaki.
Twice took action, he rushed into the scene while he avoided the heat radiated spikes. Toga was in awe at Geus's initial strike, her head followed up and down each of the purple pillars. It didn't matter to Twice as he grabbed hold of her body and yanked her out. "Now's not the time!" He yelled, it was a struggle for him to contain the small school girl. She fought and pried herself to get to Geus.
"I need to stab him, he's the one I'll stab like I never stabbed before." She screamed out.
"Toga no! Why him? Why don't you love me like him?" Twice cried as he shuffled around the corner with Toga.
All the spikes in Geus's control were at the breaking point. The combination of obtuse heat and pressure caused each one to explode at once. In seconds the explosion filled the gas with shrapnel shards and gas. It gave a sliver of amusement to Geus. He's able to let go of all control and not hurt himself. The room reached several hundred degrees but did little than annoy him.
The whole room now was under control, with gas corner to corner he felt everything inside. He held down his breath and hardened the gas. Several pockets of the gas were felt around the room, chairs, the table, bubbles formed. He sent spikes through each one of the bubbles he sensed. One bubble remained to be a nuisance in his attack.
Without a moment of thought, Geus swelled up the spike that couldn't penetrate. The explosion that followed gave Geus the satisfaction of completion. Another spike took in place of the other and jammed through the hole.
"That was a close one sir." Nemoto's voice flew through the gas.
Geus's body felt weak again, so much so that his gas levels retreated into his body. His adrenaline couldn't keep up his power, it was able to slow down the familiar effects but couldn't stop it. The gas faded away and shrunk into a forever smaller circle. Geus sucked and broke off the rest of his attack to conserve the energy to fight.
Now he saw the resistance against him. Tengai stood on the left side of Chisaki. His hands to his forehead and surrounded them with an almost clear bubble. Nemoto was to his right and pointed the gun at Geus. The rest of the Expendables stood behind them. All were masked and ready to fight.
"I have to fight." Geus grumbled. He felt his body rejuvenate fully and sprinted to them.
The gas flowed out of his body and wrapped his arms as he ran. His body didn't feel weak but shifted to uncoordinated. He crashed into the wall and tumbled to the ground. A spike grew from his left arm and bashed him to the opposite wall.
"He never learns does he sir?" Nemoto asked in a demeaning manner.
"He's learning." Chisaki answered back seriously. He didn't eye Geus with pity or any other sign of weakness. He took Geus's actions as growth. This was exactly what he wanted to see out of him. "He's able to fight them both out."
Geus recovered and wrapped his legs inside the gas. Even if his mind was lumpy his lungs couldn't be altered. The makeshift exoskeleton stomped forward without complication. His right arm stiffened out and held up to the group.
"He's already able to kill four of you together."
"Kill the four weakest." A man covered head to toe in crystals went ahead of the orb. He held his own arm out and enlarged the crystals around his arm. "He still doesn't know real combat."
His crystallizations built over the last and sped out to Geus. Geus sent out his own spiked arm. The two forced clashed into the center and battle for dominance. As fast as Geus's gas melted down the crystals, more filled the lost space.
"You take to long, and our fight continues." Rappa ran around the crystallized man.
His arms were already cocked and right to swing out at a moment's notice. Geus saw and followed Rappa's speed. He curled his other arm under and pointed out another spike. Rappa came just out of arm's length distance from Geus. In that one second, Geus sent out another spike at Rappa. Rappa followed with his own punch at the spike in the same instance.
His fist overpowered the tip of the spike and shattered it with his straight punch. The move brought out a weak smile from his grogginess. Gas poured out of the hollow open spike and engulfed Rappa inside. This time Rappa couldn't stand the heat, forced off to the side and away from Geus.
Geus's attention returned back to the main fight in hand. Just as fast as Rappa's retreat, he pulled back. The man with the bag over his head chomped down the gas. He wasn't in pain, or at least showed the gas hurt his body.
The rest of Geus's gas retreated back and circled around his hand. Four small inch spike formed at his knuckles and jabbed forward into his nose. The effects of the battle took hold of Geus. The single punch left his arm numb and limp. His other arm spazzed from shock.
The two other assaulters saw Geus's signs of weakness. Both of them unleashed absolute power into Geus. The crystals impaled Geus's chest, sending his body back and in the air. Rappa stood ready for Geus's body. His right hook connected with Geus perfectly. His head bolted down into the ground and left him limp.
Geus's body managed to keep him conscious while it left the rest unmovable. Chisaki moved once the field around them disappeared. He kicked Geus over to his back and placed his boot into Geus's neck. He pulled off his gloves and placed on new ones without a word.
"It's quite remarkable how strong the body will go for loved ones." Chisaki pressed harder on his foot. Geus couldn't feel any of the applied pressure. He was more or less a skeleton with functional eyes and ears. "If I knew that then I would've brought the boy here myself."
'Why was I so stupid?' Geus shouted at himself internally. 'He's dead.'
"I can bring the boy back to you if you want."
'He's dead, there's nothing that can bring back the dead. You can't fool me twice.'
"He's right." Toga walked into Geus's eyesight, now fully dressed with the face mask and all. She squatted down above Geus's head, her face completely orgasmic. "Twice can only copy people that are alive. And he's alive." She stabbed the needle in her hand down into Geus's chest. "I can bring him to you."
"Do you still believe in what you said? Are you willing to give up your morals just to face the boy again?"
Twice entered the room and wasted no time to get to Geus. He extended a tape measure from his arm and went to work on Geus's body. "I can always bring him back, show you him. To kill him in front of your eyes!"
"See?" Toga held out her phone to Geus's eyes. The device's screen was dim, only enough light to be seen at max brightness. Through Geus's tears he saw Keena, in a corner and balled up.
'I'm going to get him, I'm going to get him out of there.' Geus closed his eyes. 'Move idiot! Do your promises and get him! Stop being so weak! You gotta save him.'
"I'm not going to kill you." Chisaki moved his foot off of Geus's chest. "It's up to you with your choices. I offer you a place with me, a chance to get Keena back and a place of worth. The other choice is up to you. I feel you already know what it is."
Toga pulled out her needle and lowered her head to his ear. "Just do as I say and you'll see him again." Her hand extended out to his and wrapped their fingers together. "Don't do anything dumb. I'll always need to stab you again." She planted a small peck on his cheek. Her body jumped up as if nothing happened. "Come on Twice! We gotta tell everyone what happened."
"Right away Toga! Anything for you! Give me another minute! I'm not done with my measurements!" His voice turned against her but the rest of his body hopped up.
'Keena. I'm sorry.'
