"Geus! It's your turn!" Toga shouted.

The hole formed large enough for Geus to casually stroll through. All the screams and shouts of the voices in the next room were ones that he recognized. Midoriya, Aizawa, two of his greatest inspirations.

The plan was simple, whoever was in front of Toga, take them out. Only thing was he never expected them to be anyone he knew of. The hero world was nothing more than a group of people with special powers. If one of them became incapacitated then another hero would've filled the 58th spot.

Now it wasn't about any faceless hero. It was his friends. Friends that he was ordered to take out in any means. At the end of the day, it didn't matter. He had to see this through, friend or foe.

Geus clenched the paper and shoved it deep in his pocket. He closed his eyes and relaxed for one more breath. In. Out. His steps made him go forward into the giant and dysfunctional room. His ally's quirk extruded and curved walls to create an unrecognizable pattern. A war zone created before the war happened.

Toga squatted in front of her well-placed tools. Geus walked behind her and dropped her oversize school sweater on her head.

"Hey." Geus nodded.

Midoriya's face turned soft the same time his fists lowered to his sides. Aizawa took notice and jumped in front of Midoriya. "Don't fall for another one of her tricks!" He warned. "She already got us once."

"This one isn't a trick." Geus held out his arm and wrapped his arm inside the gas. "It's me." Geus looked down at his bare chest and blue jeans. 'Well, at least whatever is left here.' Bruises covered his chest, mostly darkened skin in the center and pure blue and purple around the edge.

"Don't you recognize me?" Midoryia asked, cocking his fists back up to his face. "It's me, your friend."

"Weird you say that without the bunny ears. Wish you said that earlier, but you didn't."

"Geus, whatever happened I promise you if you don't fight I can bring you back to U.A.." Aizawa held out his hand to Geus while keeping his distance around him. "You'll just need to answer a few questions to the proper authorities."

"I don't want to do this Aizawa-sensei. I just have to for my reasons."

Toga jumped onto the back of Geus. Her arm wrapped around his neck and pulled up his neck. A large needle was driven deep into the main vein. His legs stiffened and bent straight out.

The small girl used the opportunity to escape the room. Geus turned to the whole and launched his invisible gas after her. A long slash broke through the concrete wall from edge to edge. His attack purposely aimed high above her head, but just close enough for her to turn her head.

Toga blew a small kiss right before she juked around the corner with Twice. "They're not your friends Geus!" Midoriya shouted righted after. "Whatever they offered you isn't true."

Geus turned back around to Midoriya. Nobody saw Geus build a solid tunnel of gas to the ground behind him. All they could see was a massive hole formed into the ground and a shockwave right after. Geus flung rapidly through the air, one arm tucked to his ear and the other far out.

The heat his body produced knocked Midoriya out of his stance and stumbled back.

Aizawa at the same time rolled to the side and tossed an end of his scarf into Geus's fist. He tugged hard and yanked Geus into the ground, effectively pinned him to the ground. Even with the intense heat didn't effect Aizawa's scarf in the slightest. His arms stuck to his face with more of the scarf holding it closed.

Midoriya tried to rush in at Geus. Except he couldn't handle the heat Geus produced and forced back. "Geus, why are you doing this!" Midoriya shouted out.

Geus tensed up and forced out heavy breaths. His heat intensified and crippled away the fabric around his body. His arms became free enough to grab hold of Aizawa's scarf and yank it off his face. The grip around the fabric adjusted for forceful hurling of Aizawa through the air.

"Because!" Geus twirled around his arms and pushed himself up to his feet. "I must defend them!" Geus pulled back his head and whipped forward. An intense heat blast in Midoriya's direction.

Geus sprinted after Midoriya while his arms covered his face. His left arm secretly continued to wrap itself in layers of gas and curled behind his head. Midoriya saw nothing and was completely unaware of Geus's presence next to him. The rest of his quirk devoted to hold down Midoriya at all cost. Each limb wrapped around and deadlocked in the ground.

"Detroit Smash!" Midoriya's power increased tenfold in less than a second. He made Geus's intensified quirk act like a cheap rope. His arms broke free and his legs flexed up for forward progress. Midoriya's right arm hurled and hooked around to Geus's face.

Pure, untamed power ticked into Geus's cheek. In the blink of the eye, Geus became shoved inside the far wall. But Geus acted as nothing happened. He pushed himself out of the wall and got up while he brushed off the dust.

The drug acted more in his favor than Geus wanted to admit. If it wasn't for the invisible hardened gas around his body, he'd of been knocked out from that one punch.

Geus had no time to rebuild a new strategy. Even with all the new training he's received, he still switched to the old. In two seconds flat Midoriya was already on his heels with a new kick in motion.

Geus's quirk went on the defense, the gas manifested around Midoriya's leg and whipped him into the wall. More of the gas filled his own legs and forced him up to Midoriya's level. His mouth went wide and forced out to dulled spikes into Midoriya's gut. The crater he was in deepened and filled the size of his body.

Before another hit went off, Aizawa wrapped his scarf around Geus's mouth. His old teacher stepped and twisted his body around while he yanked Geus with him. His arms hammered over his head and down into the ground. Geus's body arched across the air and pounded into the ground.

His back cracked and rumbled throughout his bones. Geus didn't realize Aizawa perfectly covered Geus's mouth and erased the armor of his quirk. He clenched around the fabric and tore it down from his mouth. Geus opened his mouth and covered his arms in the gas. He forced more through his arms and brought himself up.

Geus quickly realized his mistake and met eyes with his teacher. All the power the drug gave erased in an instant. His blood felt thinner, his body weaker and normal.

"Give it up," Aizawa warned. "As it stands you have no chance of taking either of us on."

Geus eyed down Midoriya then back to his former teacher. "Is Keena dead?" Geus asked.

"Yes. All affected faculty of the incident was exposed and saw each report and piece of evidence to the All For One fight. Best Jeanist, Mt. Lady, Endeavor, All Might knows about Keena's death." Aizawa answered.

"She told me he was alive, that they had him." Geus fell to his knees. His arms dropped to the broken concrete with his exposed forearms to them. "Who do I believe?" Geus asked, tears edging along the bottom of his eyes.

"Geus, you need to trust me when I say." Aizawa stepped forward real slowly over to Geus. "They don't have him. He's gone."

Geus noticed Aizawa blink a single time. All the feeling of his quirk refilled his veins. The power enhanced the size of his body, his bodily system overboard on the gas. Purple gas poured out of his nose and mouth, his near blank iris changed to the same shade.

He squeezed his eyes shut and lept up from his spot. His arm wrapped around Aizawa's neck and forced through. Geus opened his eyes before Midoriya's kick landed on him. Geus opened his mouth in time and completely covered Midoriya's leg inside the gas.

Another spike went out of Geus's mouth and pinned inside the ground. He sucked in with all his might and slammed Geus into the ground. The power of Midoriya's quirk kept him conscious and prepared for the next strike. Even with that, Geus still wrapped his hands inside the gas and death gripped his old friend's face.

It resembled miniature tsunamis of gas traveled from his mouth and down his arms. Without the drug, his own will power sought through. His ideals, the memories, and thoughts he created manifested through his quirk. The heat that matched volcano's magma, dense fog like the center of a fire spread home. The premise to protect one in the risk of others.

And all at once, his power stopped. The smoke dispersed through the air and the cool air of the underground returned. The two stood there, face to face. One with the eyes of sorrow and the other of pain.

"They have him." Geus released Midoriya and walked backward. "They showed me videos, feeds, of Keena. He's alive, I know it to be true."

"He's not." Geus turned around to a man he never saw before. Clean black hair and a slick white suit. "I was the head investigator of the Eight Expendables that you were part of for this time. Maria had contact with Chisaki for years prior to now and even had his own agents at the burial of Keena." He twirled a chess piece in his hand as he got closer to Geus.

"I'm not dumb enough anymore to believe I'm smarter and better than any hero. My eyes see that now." His eyes drifted downwards from the others. "As they once did before."

"Man." Midoriya placed his hand on Geus's shoulder. "You sure sound like Tokoyami when you speak like this."

"I can't fight a hero. But it doesn't mean I have to believe them." Geus turned to Aizawa. "Chisaki has a small girl, the secret to his whole thing. I promised her I'd get her out."

"Mirio's ahead and surely has slowed down Chisaki's efforts." Aizawa placed eye drops in both his eyes and turned his attention to the other man. "Hows the rest of the situation."

"While you were undoubtedly halted by a former student, we're sure you noticed walls and floors stopped moving. We captured the culprit but he has nothing to say about the League of Villains."

"Because there is nothing." Geus held one arm across his gut. It became normal in these few weeks to hide the pain caused by others. But by now there was surely internal bleeding and damage he knew little about. "The entire time the League planned to betray Chisaki and make their stand at the top."

"You're damn right those bastards are traitors and Overhaul knew the entire time!" The Culprit shouted. "If they ever come back I'll kill them myself!"

"See, even I was told to betray Chisaki at the right moment and follow them."

"And here and now they leave you behind. Yet you still trusted them to keep to their word with everything you knew about the League?" The man asked, his voice almost to the tone of mocking the teenager.

"You can't tell me if you could save someone you'd do some scummy stuff." Geus huffed.

"Is there any other League members in the vicinity?"

"Just them two."

"I don't get the sense they're going to attack us, but..." One cop shouted.

"Just because they betrayed the Eight Precept doesn't mean we can think of them as allies!" Another cop shouted.

"What in the hell do you think you're standing around for?" A downed hero growled. Geus didn't notice him from before and took an extra second to notice his injuries. "Ignore 'em and press on! Let the cops deal with the cops!" Sweat beat down his forehead and to the ground. His injuries looked simple but ached at his soul. "Have you forgotten our top priority?"

"I suppose that's the best course of action." The lead officer looked slighted that he didn't come up with the idea on his own.

"Either way somebody had to stay back and keep Irinaka restrained. And I'm not going to be pouncing and bouncing around anytime soon." The hero pressed on with. "Do you catch my drift?! Then get those legs moving!"

The men that could move didn't need a second to think about it. The strong and hitting words gave them that edge to sprint onwards. Except Geus stayed back with the police and the downed hero.

His eyes locked with the director with the other police officers. "If you find them. I want him back." The gas rolled out of Geus's mouth and went around his entire body.

Geus caught up with the others quickly. Midoriya was ahead of the pack with his quirk out. His body blasted through the walls like it was nothing. Without anymore manipulation of the walls, there was nothing that could separate them.

In minutes their wall bashes came to an end. There they were, the young hero to be Mirio, near death itself, and the villain Chisaki. Geus quickly became scared at the sight that none of his other's knew about. The man that aimed to break him and twist his life was hurt, injured beyond a sliver or a stubbed toe.

On the other side, a student able to dip through objects on death's edge. He stood where even Geus feared to be on, alone or ganged he'd never dare this. And behind him was the girl he swore to save but couldn't. Through the warzone hallway, she stood safe and untouched.

Nobody would recognize this place as any basement hallway. Walls crumbled in as waves of a stilled ocean. The ground smashed with a thousand hammers with just as many spikes in the ground.

Midoriya saw none of this as a reason to stop. He jumped in the battlefield and landed a quirk enhanced punch against Chisaki. The villain was tossed into the air and sent to the other end of the hall.

"Nighteye! Secure the girl!" Aizawa ordered.

While the new hero went after Mirio, the rest of them chase after Chisaki while he was down. Geus was still frozen at the scene. Only able to stare at his recent allies go against what they didn't know.

He saw somebody he never saw get angry at this level. Eyes blood veined and bulged from their sockets. He slapped the ground and transformed the rubble to attack the two U.A. members.

"Wake up already Chrono!" Chisaki panically screamed out.

Aizawa noticed before Midoriya and shoved him out of the surprise attack. A large arrow came out from an unnoticed down member of Chisaki. Narrowly missed Midoriya because of Aizawa but still snapped through Aizawa's scarf and sliced into his flesh.

Geus knew of this man, able to slow down whoever he cut with his quirk. The move itself snapped him out of his inside conscious. Geus held out his arms and sent two spikes of his hardened gas into the expandable member.

The ground started to move violently and launched deadly wall height shrapnel into everybody. Geus pointed his mouth at the ground and released all the gas he built up from this time. It took all he could to focus and increase his speed to Chisaki's level. His moves weren't about the attack on Chisaki's attack.

His senses in the gas dipped solely into that. Special gaps in the gas formed and sped into the heavier and unique weights into the ground. The gas wrapped around whoever he could find into a hardened shell. Even then he felt his gas destroyed in one area.

"Right? Nemoto!"

Geus opened his eyes into Chisaki's location. Witnessing Chisaki kill and absorb the life of his right-hand man. Another man he didn't even notice was inside the room. Instantly, Chisaki's power increased and bolted into sub demon levels.

The edges of his mask started to dig into his flesh and corrode like a symbiote. His arms formed with Nemoto and created thick devil claws and arms. Similar if not identical to one of Geus's styles. He knew of the power contained in himself with only natural ability. If Chisaki matched in ability alone, it's deadly.

Four arms of pure, ungodly power. "This is what they always warned me about." Geus huffed. "They always said you contained all the power of all of them!" Geus held out his arms and sucked back in all the gas he exhausted. "Fucking monster." He stepped forward past the ten foot tall rock spikes.

"You put me in such an awful mood right now. But this feels a little better." Chisaki grumbled. His power continued to spread over his body. Healed the wounds he once had and covered the rest of himself in the black gunk. "Now you can see why I was so interested in you. This is the power you hold."

Geus grabbed two of the spikes at his sides and melted apart the tops of the rocks. 'I can drop a Sulpher Bomb on him. End it all.' Geus looked around the room but couldn't see past any of the spikes behind him.

"When someone lays their fingers on me, I can't help but feel to cleanse myself. I can feel the blood rush to my head. This is the first time I've been pushed this far."
