Chapter 31
[Play KH3 OST Laughter and Merriment -cutscene-]
Sora was following Mirio up the stairs a few more floors up, which kinda confused the boy for a moment. If they're done with Hero work for today, then why are they not just heading home, but then he got his answer when they walked into one of the rooms on the seventh floor.
The room was basically a guest bedroom with a small bathroom section. There was a bed on the far left corner, with a cupboard next to it and a small mirror on top of that. The floor was soft carpet all around the bedroom area and when Sora looked in the bathroom section there were plenty of towels and different soaps inside already.
Sora looked back at Togata for an explanation and the blonde said "It's a temporary living quarters. Some agencies have these for Pros who either stay for an extended period of time or who can't afford a place to stay. Sir thought it would be a good idea for you to crash here for the time you're interning."
Sora looked forward and then let out a puff of air from his mouth. This was the last thing he was expecting, but there was no way he was going to deny this. Sure, the couch back at the Midoriya household was still comfy, but nothing could beat a bed that lets you spread your arms and legs.
Sora dropped his case and jumped on the bed, landing his back on the mattress, as he said "This definitely beats a couch." After a brief moment of laying on the bed and Mirio leaving to go to his own room, The Keyblade wielder started unpacking.
[Silence]
Meanwhile, back at the bar, Kurogiri was just finishing up with restitching Tomura's wounds. Despite requesting multiple times, up to the point where Shigaraki opened his previously stitched up wounds from trying to attack his 'ally' for not obeying his order, the figure refused to waste any energy healing him. They were keeping their word when they said to not expect any more healing from them until some actual respect was given by the 'leader' of this group.
After a few minutes of getting used to the extra stitches, Tomura ended up pacing around the bar. The figure watched in silence as the hand covered villain scratched his neck and grumbled in frustration from what happened a few days ago. It was infuriating to the boy how some guy covered in knives had not only rejected to join the league, but also had the audacity to attack him on his home turf.
While Shigaraki was vocalizing his frustrations, the figure had head palmed themself both out of boredom and annoyance. They were bored of being stuck in this position that seems to barely be beneficial for them, as it allows the figure to remain unseen and leech off Tomura's attitude but that's it. The figure was annoyed that this was all that was happening. At least with Xehanort, there was always some kind of plan. The one person who even remotely seems to be a threat though is just telling this brat to make all the calls and hope for the best. They understand that trial and error is the best teacher, but at least beat it into the child and not spoil him half the time.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Master Criminal]
The figure had enough of the brat's rambling and spoke up. "Venting your frustrations in an empty room isn't going to do anything. If you don't know what to do, then go ask your 'master' for some guidance."
Tomura turned to the figure with visible disdain in his eye as he responded "You don't get to order me around."
"Just making a suggestion as your tutor." The figure dryly replied.
"Why would I call my master?" Shigaraki retorted. "Unlike you, he doesn't sit around in his chair doing nothing all the time. I might interrupt him while he's busy with the...Nomus." The hand covered Villain grabbed a remote and turned on the TV hanging on the wall of the bar. He then changed the channel until he saw that same Audio Only text the figure and he were familiar with at this point.
The Villain then grabbed his phone and after a number was dialed up, the two waited a few minutes before they heard an all too familiar voice speak from the screen. "What is it Tomura?" He spoke.
"Master." said Shigaraki as he got straight to the point. "How many Nomu are completed?"
"I've finished adjusting the behavior of six of them." The voice answered. "Though they are not as strong as the one from the U.S.J. attack."
"Give then to me." Tomura requested in a greedy tone.
"Why?" The voice asked in a dry tone.
"Because I don't like that arrogant Hero Killer the Hooded guy brought in." Shigaraki explained. "And it's my right to destroy anything I don't like, right, Master?"
"Very well." The voice responded. "However you may only have three. Try to use this as a learning experience."
"Oh, I will. Thank you master." Tomura said with sadistic glee before the call ended. The boy then turned to the figure and decided to push his luck. "Now that that is settled, I have a job for you."
"Let me guess." The figure started. "Find Stain and watch him until you get your Nomu."
"You're half right." Shigaraki told them. "Find him, but watch him and contact me when he's about to make a move against another Hero."
The figure decided to not question the boy and just go. They made a portal and walked through it and ended up on the roof of an apartment, with a new mission to preoccupy them for a while. Hosu is a big city. And no doubt the Hero Killer will be studying the Pros that occupy this city as well as their patterns. He might not strike for a few days, but that's all the better for the figure. Time to find him again, this time without bait.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST I Don't Need Pretend Friends]
Back at the Nighteye Agency, a little over an hour had passed and Sir had just finished explaining to his sidekicks why he wanted to talk to them right now. He needed that hour to analyze the tail end of what he saw in Sora's future and told them what he saw.
Bubble Girl was the first to speak. "He really runs into him?"
"And on top of that, gets assaulted by him too." Centipeder finished.
"I'm afraid so." Sir confirmed. "I refused to look beyond that as to not set anything else in stone."
"Right, because of how your foresight works." The bug headed sidekick remembered.
"But, we can't just stand here and let this happen." The blue skinned sidekick retorted. "There must be some way we could help."
"That's the other reason why I called you here." Nighteye stated. "While looking into Sora's future, I never looked at his lessons during yesterday or the morning after."
The two sidekicks then realized where he was going with this and Centipeder continued where Sir left off. "So those moments are still within our control."
"Exactly." The Pro Hero confirmed. "Since we cannot change the fact that Sora will be confronted by him, we can at least use the time we have to prepare him for that encounter."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Bubble Girl chimed in. "Let's get planning."

The night went by rather quickly for some and it was long for others. For Sora though, he was asleep the whole night. When morning came, the boy had woken up to the rays of light from his window shining on his face. He was up a bit earlier than he needed to be, but why go back to bed and risk sleeping in? Best not to do that on this internship.
The Keyblade wielder got himself into the bathroom section of his living space and washed himself up via a good scrubbing in the shower and a thorough rinsing before he got out and dried himself up. His hair was a little damp, but he took advantage of that and brushed it until it was that good old spiky style he rocked.
He checked his wardrobe and got into a comfy set of clothes that he could go out into public with if he needed to, then made his bed and cleaned up any mess he made before he left the room. Once he left the room, he was greeted with Mirio, who was also freshly washed and ready to start the day.
The two boys went and got breakfast before checking on Sora's Hero suit in the laundry. The Keyblade wielder decided to put his suit in the dryer before going to bed straight away. Thankfully, it was still there, and it was clean as well as dry. After checking on the time, the two boys then went to the changing area back on the first floor and were getting in their Hero costumes.
"You ready to rock it today?" Lemillion asked as he was putting his visor on.
"You bet." Sora replied as he was dancing around with excitement.
"Looks like going to Sir last night really helped." Togata remarked. "You look way more stoked than yesterday."
"Well now I know when I'm talking to my friend, and that he's fine." Sora reminded him. "That takes a huge load off my shoulders. Now I can give even more of my all today."
Mirio agreed with his underclassman. The two boys looked at the clock and noticed that it was almost time for Bubble Girl's first lesson. They didn't waste any more time and both went to where she was going to be. Sora to learn from these lessons, and Togata to help with the lessons.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Just Another Hero Instrumental]
Bubble Girl was already there and all the dummies were already set up. "Let's not waste any time, shall we." She sounded a bit more serious compared to last time, but she still had a bright and chipper face. "Today we're going to prioritize wounds that usually come from blades." Although it seemed a bit strange at first The sidekick then explained that "More often than not, you'll run into victims that get wounds like these, be it from an actual blade or from sharp debris. Best to learn it now instead of later, right?"
With that the two boys basically went through the motions of the Sidekick explaining the proper way to treat the wound, while the third year shows Sora as Bubble Girl is explaining it, then Sora trying it himself until he gets it right. This went on for until it was time for Sora to go on another break. Lemillion was asked to stay and help her with setting up for the next set of lessons.
During the first break Sora decided to text his classmates again and got some messages back. Ochako was learning basic fighting form and how important physical strength can be. She also saw Gunhead do a cute pose and wanted to share that with her friend. Sora chuckled and let her be.
Kirishima was learning how to make tea with Tetsutetsu and was complimented for his quirk making it satisfying for Fourth Kind to punch him. Sora once again felt bad and just texted 'good luck to both of you' and a few words of encouragement.
Izuku texted back how he managed to find a way to make five percent of his power flow through all his body and keep it constantly flowing through him. When Sora texted for a simpler description, Midoriya texted that he doesn't break his bones every time his quirk is on now. That got Sora to smile and cheer him on to keep making progress.
Momo texted that she was currently watching Uwabami do a photo shoot, while she and Itsuka were looking at the rest of the schedule, still trying to figure out what important lesson there was to this. There had to be one, right? Sora once again texted words of encouragement for both girls, to which he got a text back saying 'thanks' twice. One from Kendo, and one from Yaoyorozu.
Nothing from the rest though, but that was either because they were busy or didn't see it yet. At that point, Sora noticed that his break was almost over and he went ahead and got ready to go to Centipeder's lesson. When he got to where the Sidekick was at, it was time to start.
It was just like yesterday, but with a small change. The Pro decided to give Sora cases that seemed kinda specific. One pattern was that a serial killer attacked people in alleyways and was caught that way. Another was how a different killer was attacking people in abandoned areas and was found the same way. Then another was when a crazed person with a blade quirk was attacking people who acted a certain way and was apprehended through this pattern.
Sora could find all the patterns but he couldn't help but notice how they all seemed similar. He then remembered what Bubble Girl said earlier and then summarized it to these crime scenes probably being the much more common crimes to occur, so it would be best to know these as soon as possible so he will be prepared for seeing it often.
He continued on until it was time for his break and he was sent on his way. During this time, he sent his daily update message out to his off world friends, because he forgot to do it in the morning. After that was done, Togata ended up hanging out with Sora for the rest of that break until it was almost over, then the two once again went back to Bubble Girl.
[Play KH1.5 Remix OST Strange Whispers]
Back in Hosu, the figure had found Stain fairly quick, and was currently tailing the Villain. It was much easier than last time for a few reasons. First off, the search range was generously limited thanks to the Hero Killer's preference to stick around an area until he makes at least four victims there. Secondly, they had basically imprinted the Blood Licker's dark presence into their head, and considering how strong it was, it would be childs play to track down. And lastly, Stain wasn't exactly hiding in the shadows right now.
The Figure looked down from the top of the building they were standing at to see The Hero Killer wearing a black jacket, a dark red cap, the same black pants from before, a face mask that covered his 'nose' down to his mouth, his shoes weren't covered in sharp metal and he was holding a dark suitcase.
While on the street, the incognito serial killer had walked over to a Publication display and took one of the newspapers, before walking back in the direction he came from before. It took a few minutes of walking, but he eventually stopped at a narrow alleyway with a dumpster in it and leaned back on the corner, flipping through the papers until he found what he needed, a report that showed the city on alert and a small list of Pros that were interviewed on their patrols.
Stain then walked into the alleyway and behind the dumpster, sliding his hand underneath it to grab his sheathed katana, before switching his outer clothes from a jacket to his blade covered vest, his cap and mask to his bandana and scarf, and putting the sharp metal back on his shoes.
The Hero killer then found his way to the rooftops and began what could only be considered as scouting the city. The figure followed not too far behind the knife user and thought to themself "I wonder what the brat has planned for you."
[Silence]
Back at the Nighteye Agency, Sora was finishing up with bandaging a blade wound on a ballistic dummy's elbow. He watched as Bubble Girl was checking on his progress and the boy looked at the clock to see that it was about time for his next break. Before he would go though, he decided to do something first.
The Keyblade wielder waited for the blue skinned sidekick to finish checking on his work. Once she did, she turned around and said "I don't see any faults on this one. Good job."
"Thanks." Sora replied. "Uh. Hey. Can I ask you something?"
"Sure." The Pro answered.
"Well compared to yesterday, you're acting a bit more serious and a bit less...well, bubbly." The boy pointed out. "Is something wrong?"
"Huh?" She responded, figuring out what to say to him. "Well, no. It just..."
[Play KH3 OST After defeating the doll -cutscene-]
She then remembered something. "Remember when I said you were like a sponge that wanted to soak up information?"
"How could I forget?" Sora remarked. "It was before I made that joke about your quirk."
"Well, I decided to take what you said to heart." She told him. "You really enjoyed learning this kinda stuff from me yesterday, so I decided that I'd teach you as much as I can with what time we have now."
Sora was kinda surprised, replying "Wow. Well, thanks for telling me. At first I thought I was annoying you by taking up your time with these lessons, but now that I heard that it's the opposite, it makes me really happy."
"Sorry if I came off that way." Bubble Girl apologized.
"Hey. No worries." Sora told her. "You know, at first I thought this internship was gonna be a whole week of either boredom or strict rules, but it's not even close. I get to be myself, I'm learning really useful info, and everyone here has been really nice and helpful." The sidekick remained silent as the Keyblade wielder continued to speak. "I'm really glad I decided to intern here."
Bubble Girl looked down for a few seconds, her shoulders stiffening up for a bit before she lossend them up again and looked at Sora with a soft smile on her face. "If I didn't think the title Positive Hero fit you before, I definitely do now." Sora just smiled back at her while he rubbed the back of his head, only to then remember that he had fake blood on them and now some of it was in his hair. Bubble Girl giggled and looked at the clock, before telling the boy. "Your break's started. Go wash up while you can."
"Got it." Sora obliged. "And thanks again."
[Play KH3 OST Villains of a sort -cutscene-]
Once again back at Hosu, the figure watched The Hero Killer stay in the shadows of the alleyways and abandoned buildings of the city. It seemed that Stain found a place to rest and repair in one of the buildings, as the blood licker was tending to his blades in a room. The figure was on the same level, in a room of a building across from Stain's current residence, remaining unseen by the Villain.
The faint sound of metal scraping onto stone was the only thing the figure was hearing right now. They stayed leaning against the wall as they kept an eye, or in this case an ear on Stain. While stealth wasn't always preferable to the figure, back when they could afford the option to choose between that or the direct approach, they were still highly adept at it, to the point where even if there was a group of people who were all on alert, they could still remain unseen.
At this point, the figure was simply waiting for the Hero Killer to choose a time to strike. They already knew that it wouldn't be today, simply because of the fact that the Heroes are on alert and most are in groups of four or more right now. Not only that, but the Hero Killer hasn't even selected a target yet. Once he does, then the figure will report back to their 'boss', but for now they wait. This better be worth it.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Lunch Song]
Once again, back at the Nighteye Agency, Sora was just finishing up his final session for the day and was heading out to change into some normal clothes. Today he learned a bunch about treating open cuts and finding patterns through weapons on cases this time around. As he entered the changing room, he noticed Mirio who just finished changing and went over to him.
While Sora was changing, he decided to ask something. "I kinda forgot to ask this earlier, but how are Tamaki and Nejire doing since I last saw them?" While it was cool seeing Togata again, he still was curious about Amajiki and Hado, since he considers them friends too.
"Those two?" The third year answered. "They're doing fine. They're both at their work study programs right now. I saw a report about Tamaki stopping an outdoor drug trade last night with Fat Gum again, and Nejire told me she'd be helping Ryukyu with some patrolling."
"Nice to see those two are just as proactive as you." Sora commented as he was almost finished with getting dressed. "How long does this work study thing last anyway?"
"It varies." Mirio answered. "I'm here til the end of the week."
"You and me both, eh?" Sora noted as he finished getting dressed. "Well it'll be nice to have good company while I'm interning."
Togata chuckled at that comment and walked with Sora to the laundry room, and then to the living quarters upstairs. Once the Keyblade wielder got to his room, Mirio headed to his own, but not before gesturing a goodbye to his first year friend.
As Sora finished washing up one more time for the day, he checked his phone for any new messages and surprisingly got a message from Itsuka Kendo. Mainly thanking him for the words of encouragement from before, but this time on her cell. He just replied with a :) and decided to call it a day.
[Play KH2 OST Hesitation]
Back at the bar Tomura was just given three of the six Nomu that were properly adjusted by his master, and warped into the bar by Kurogiri, who was now cleaning some stained glass. The boy took this time to inspect his new 'players'.
One of them was lanky and had grey skin. It was wearing ripped trousers, and four eyes protruding from it's brain. The second one had a pale yellow skin color with wings sprouted on its back, and it wore dark blue pants along with what looked like a gas mask over its mouth. The third one had pitch black skin, just like the U.S.J. Nomu. However, it had no eyes on it at all. It also seemed to have scars on its arms and neck. It wore blue trousers and metal shin guards.
Aside from the fact that he could only have these three and not all six, Shigaraki was still very pleased to be given the creatures by his master. Now all he had to do was wait on someone else. The adolescent Villain still didn't understand why he had to work with the hooded guy, but if the two had to be on the same team, then the least his 'ally' could do was pull their own weight.
As if on cue, a dark portal opened up in the room and out of the portal, came the Figure. They looked over towards Tomura and reported to the boy. "Stain isn't risking a second attack while the Pros are on high alert. They were calmer than yesterday, but not calm enough for him to make a move today."
"Then why did you come back?" Shigaraki questioned, partially annoyed. "I told you to tell me when he decides to attack. Not when he decides not to."
"Because, genius..." The Figure responded. "He's most likely going to attack tomorrow."
"And what makes you so sure about that?" Tomura asked.
"I could feel his impatience." The Figure informed him. "It's close to a boiling point. He won't last another day, but he also won't attack during broad daylight and he seems to rest after he scouts out his surroundings and finds a secluded enough place."
Shigaraki was about to speak but then Kurogiri decided to speak for him. "And you're certain that is the case?"
"As curtain as I am that our 'leader' is immature." The Figure stated.
"Do you want me to test the Nomu's powers on you?" Tomura threatened.
"Go ahead. It'll help me kill more time." The Figure retorted, causing the hand faced Villain to growl.
"Shigaraki." Kurogiri interjected. "Remember that our anonymous ally chooses to do this to prove themself correct in their assumption of you as a child. Don't allow this figure the satisfaction of being right."
Tomura still wasn't happy, but he elected to do nothing and sat down.
The figure then took the spot where they always sat and indulged his 'boss' "So what exactly do you plan on doing with your big stuffed animals? Sicking them on the Hero Killer?"
"I'll tell you the plan when the time is right." Shigaraki replied. "What time tomorrow do you predict the Hero Killer will start his next hunt?"
"Between Twilight and Dusk at the latest." The Figure answered.
"Alright then." The League Leader stated. "After tomorrow, everyone will forget about you, Hero Killer."
[Silence]
The sun began to rise as it was the morning of the next day. Sir was in his office with both Bubble Girl and Centipeder. The two sidekicks were up earlier than normal, because they needed to make sure that they woke up before the U.A. students and review their plan with Nighteye. The Pro had just finished when he noticed that it was almost time to begin the day.
After he was finished. Bubble Girl looked down for a minute and said "I really hope he makes it out of this. Sora's a really good kid."
"The two of you trained him the best you could yesterday." Sir pointed out. "Not only that, but he won't be alone either."
"I know." The blue skinned Hero replied.
"I believe Sora will pull through this." Centipeder stated. "The boy has the tools and thanks to us, the knowledge to survive an encounter with an assailant like him."
Bubble Girl took a deep breath and then said. "Yeah...yeah yeah. He'll pull through. And he'll have his allies there to help him."
With that, the two sidekicks left to start packing some cases. They were gonna have quite a night.
[Play KH ReChain Of Memories OST Lazy Afternoons]
The sun started to shine on Sora's face once more, waking him from his slumber for a second time. The boy looked at the clock and noticed that he was once again awake a little early, but only by a few minutes. He shut off the alarm he set before it could go off and he did what can be considered his wake up routine at the internship.
He took a shower, styled his hair, found some clean and comfy but formal looking clothes, then went to check his Hero costume for any stains, to see that there were none. Happy with that he then runs into Mirio once more and the two of them hang out for most of the morning.
"So now begins day three of training." Sora commented. "I wonder if Bubble Girl and Centipeder will have a different theme for today's set of first aid and detective work."
"Probably." Togata replied. "It would get pretty repetitive if they did the same thing."
"Well then you'll be happy to know that it won't be the same thing today." Centipeder said as he overheard the two as he was getting a coffee.
"You would be correct about that making me happy." The Keyblade wielder responded. "So what's on the agenda today?"
"We don't have anything scheduled for a majority of the day." The Sidekick explained. "In fact, you will be accompanying Bubble Girl and myself at 5:00 PM later today to start your lesson."
"Really?" Sora wondered. "Why so late?"
"Sir figured that if we kept up this routine for the entire week then some of the information we share with you might end up going over your head, due to us feeding you too much information at a time." The bug headed Hero explained. "So for today we'll change up the schedule to ensure that you're in the best condition possible."
"Well that's a surprise." Sora commented. "What do I do before then?"
"Just make sure you're ready before 5:00." The Pro said before he left.
When Centipeder left the room, Togata spoke up. "Well now we know what your plans are for today."
"Yeah. It seems so." Sora agreed. "What about you? I doubt you've got the same amount of free time as I do."
"I'll go check in with Sir and see what he needs me to do." Mirio said as he looked at the clock. "I should probably do that now."
"Alright then. See ya." Sora said.
"Later, man." Togata replied as he left.
With that, Sora was alone again, left to do whatever he pleased until 5:00 PM. Aside from texting his classmates and only getting the same stuff he heard yesterday, as well as him sending his daily message, nothing really eventful happened during the time.
[Play KH BBS OST The Promised Beginning]
Once it was 5:00 PM, Sora, in his Hero wear, Bubble Girl and Centipeder were all standing in attention in Sir's office while Nighteye began to speak. "Today, you're going to be showing me how much you've learned by putting these skills into practical use." Sora was slightly confused as to what the Nighteye said, but the Pro continued. "Before you arrived here, Centipeder was gathering information involving an investigation. Since you've been learning deductive skills while you were here, it would make sense to see how much you know now, and how much you need to know, by accompanying him in this case. Bubble Girl will go with you as both a chaperone and as an instructor. She still has plenty to teach you about fixing the human body."
"Yes Sir." Sora said, slightly excited, but very serious.
"Make sure that you don't get in the way of those two and pull your own weight while you're out there." Nighteye instructed. "Are we clear, Light Heart?"
"Crystal, Sir." The Keyblade Wielder responded, noting that he has to remember to answer to that name now that he's in uniform.
"That will be all." The Pro stated. "Bubble Girl and Centipeder will inform you of the rest."
All three of them left and then Sora got the rest of the details as the trio were leaving the agency. The three of them were going to take the bullet train from Hakone-Yumoto Station to Hosu Station at 5:30 so they will show up at 7:00 PM. From there, he would accompany Centipeder as he gathers information on the Hero Killer and maybe predict the most likely times and places that the Villain would strike. Since the city is on alert right now, every Hero will be in a group of three or more, so it will be unlikely for the Hero Killer to attack any time soon.
The three got to Hakone-Yumoto Station and waited for the train to arrive, once it did, the three boarded and were on their way. As Sora was now on his way to Hosu, he then figured that this might be what Sir meant Earlier when he said that Sora would see Tenya a bit sooner than expected. He'll most likely run into him while he's there and the two will have a talk.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Master Criminal]
It was Dusk at Hosu. Stain, who's thirst for blood has been steadily increasing, was sitting atop a water tank on the roof, virtually undisturbed, until a dark purple vortex opened behind him. Out of it came Tomura as he commented on the sight. "Huh. Hosu City looks nicer than expected." As he said that, the Figure had also followed the boy through the portal, then Kurogiri shortly afterwards. The three stood there as Stain continued to look down upon the city. Shigaraki asked "So, what are you gonna do?"
"I will reform it." The blood licker answered. "In order to do so, blood must spill."
"You have a clear goal." Kurogiri stated. "Your dedication is admirable."
"Ah. Finally, another who understands." Stain complimented as he stood up.
"I get the feeling you enjoy picking on me." Tomura assumed.
"You make it too easy." The Figure told him, but only received a glance by the hand covered boy.
"Hero is a title for those who've accomplished great deeds!" The Hero Killer preached. "This city is full of false champions! All they care about is money and fame!" He grabbed the hilt of his sword as he continued to speak. "Until the world realizes its mistakes, I will continue my work." He jumped off the water tank and began his hunt once more.
"It would seem that you were correct about him starting at this time." Kurogiri noted the Figure's prediction.
"He talks all high and mighty and stuff, but he's wasting his time focusing on a small stage." Shigaraki ridiculed as he began to scratch his neck. "He's so noble I could cry."
"You shouldn't spurn his methods." Kurogiri advised. "The reality is, in all the cities that Stain has appeared, the crime rates have fallen. Perhaps because Heroes are more conscientious or perhaps out of fear." Tomura was scratching a bit faster as his advisor concluded with "Regardless, he does bring change."
"Oh, isn't that just wonderful." Tomura replied with faked excitement. "Heroes are working harder, thanks to all those murders. I guess you could say our Hero Killer is also a Hero Breeder!" He dropped the act. "This is getting boring. It won't work. We just can't agree on a basic level. And he annoys me. Kurogiri, bring out the Nomus."
The warp gate Villain did as instructed and opened a portal in front of the three, allowing the creatures to step through. The League Leader continued to talk. "You think you can get away with stabbing me? When I get tired of you, I'll kill you. Whenever I feel like it. Just like that, Stain. Hnnhehe...but let's make it more interesting. How about I crush your honor and your pride first? What do you say, big bad Hero Killer?"
"I say it'll take more than three puppets to do that." The Figure spoke up.
"And what exactly else do you propose we bring to the table, when this is all we have?" Shigaraki remarked.
The inside of the Figure's hood faintly glowed orange just like last time until their red eyes were once again visible. As Darkness began to excrete out of the hood, they snapped their fingers and a few Emblem and Pureblood Heartless had flocked toward the group through dark corridors, stopping in front of them and waiting. "I can tell them to ignore us and the Nomus, but that's all I can do."
While slightly annoyed at this extra perk being kept hidden, Tomura was pleased at how he now has more to work with. "Though you annoy me as much as Stain, you're actually very useful. I'm glad that this is the case." The group looked as Twilight was now at its end. Night has fallen onto Hosu as the Shigaraki says. "Let's cause some chaos."
And here we go. The Hosu incident is now ready to begin. Now that Sora is approaching Hosu, two things will be expected. First off, is that he will see his friend sooner than expected, just like Sir said, and secondly. He will encounter someone and be forced to fight, just like Sir said. The next chapter will cover either all or most of the Hosu incident. Unlike U.S.J., the fight will not be extended because of the Heartless showing up afterwards. Instead, they are part of the initial chaos. That's all for now. Hope you enjoy and until I decide to upload again. ;)
