Chapter 68
[Silence]
The Villains were back in the bar. Before Katsuki could even attempt to fight off any of them, he was compressed into a marble again. "Hmph. Those children have no respect for a good show." Mr. Compress said as he took out another marble from his left pocket and decompressed it to reveal a restraining device, similar to the one that was used during the sports festival, only missing a muzzle. "This should work."
Tomura watched this from where he was sitting and had a smirk under the hand that covered his face. "I see that you got who I wanted."
"YEAH WE DID! IT WAS TOTALLY A CAKEWALK!...It wasn't easy though. We did lose three of our members." Twice pointed out.
"That's their own fault." Shigaraki said to them. "They couldn't handle it. But the rest of you could. And for that, you've proven yourselves to be valuable, instead of expendable."
"Wow. What an honor. I feel so blessed." Dabi sarcastically replied.
"Well, I for one feel great!" Himiko exclaimed. "I got to make new friends, get some blood, find some new crushes, and if Hoody does what he says, then one of them is gonna be here soon!"
"Those kiddies sure do pack a punch, I admit. U.A. students are some tough eggs to crack if they could fight off Muscular and Moonfish." Magne commented.
"Those children had such potential, but the false Heroes that teach them have already plagued their minds. Most of them are probably beyond saving at this point." Spinner stated.
"You only just met them." Another voice spoke up, before a dark corridor appeared.
[Play FF7 Remake Intergrade OST Unexpected Threat]
Out of the dark corridor came a familiar Figure to the League, however his hood was down to reveal a mask with a strange symbol on it. He held his Keyblade in one hand and had Sora's body over his shoulder. "Besides. None of them would care about your opinion anyway."
Before Spinner could reply to that, Tomura spoke up. "I see you got who you wanted."
"And who you wanted." The masked boy added. "I'm assuming that yellow cat girl is with your 'master' right now?"
"He has a place for her, for now." Shigaraki answered. "And for him too."
"You told him?" The dark Keyblade wielder realized.
"Why wouldn't I?" Tomura pointed out. "That brat's power would be useful in his hands."
The masked boy let out an amused chuckle. "Don't get too ahead of yourself. His power isn't as easy to take." Sora's body began to stir as he was starting to wake up. "Ho. Looks like he's waking up."
"Should I place him in this for now?" Mr. Compress gestured to the restraining device he had decompressed earlier.
"No need." The dark Keyblade wielder replied as two pitch black silhouettes that looked exactly like him emerged from his body and held Sora's body down on his knees. He then pressed his Keyblade's tip onto Sora's exposed stomach, before it began to emit dark blue colored electricity.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Villain]
"GHAHHHHHHHAA!" Sora's head involuntarily jerked up as the extremely painful shock woke him up. His breathing was uneven as he tried to assess where he was, only to see a group of people, some familiar, some not so much. But there was one person that he knew very well that was right in front of him. He struggled to stand up, but was held down by the black silhouettes that had his arms and shoulders in their grips. Realizing that they wouldn't budge, he spoke directly to the masked boy. "How...How are you here?"
"Hey now." The dark Keyblade wielder said as his mask began to glow orange, before it slowly disappeared. "Is that any way to talk to your brother?"
All of the members of the League of Villains, minus Shigaraki, had the same surprised look on their face when they saw their anonymous ally show himself. Twice then spoke up. "What an unexpected turn of events! Who would have guessed that these two were twins?...I SAW IT COMING FROM A MILE AWAY. THEY EVEN SOUND ALIKE."
"Whoa." Magne said. "The resemblance is strikingly similar."
"You got that right." Dabi agreed.
They saw that their ally's face looked exactly like Sora's in almost every way. Their hair was the same style, their facial structures were identical, from the shapes of their eyes to their jawlines, to their noses. The only thing that wasn't the same was the eye color and hair color, as Sora's eyes were blue, compared to his dark twin's red eyes. And Sora's hair was brown, contrast to his 'brother's' black hair.
"I watched you die, Vanitas. How are you here?" Sora spoke up again.
"That's right. I did die." Vanitas confirmed. "But I didn't die for good."
"What?" The light Keyblade wielder was confused.
"You weren't around when this happened." Vanitas then took off his black coat and showed his full body to Sora and how it wasn't the same as before. The red in his colors was now white and he looked like a monochrome version of himself. Top that off with his mask having an unversed symbol on it, instead of being blank, and one could tell that he clearly has changed. "I've been like this for eleven years now. And thanks to you, I'll continue to 'be' for much longer."
The other League members were starting to get confused as well, before the monitor in the room turned itself on and out came a familiar voice to them. "I see that your mission was a success, Vanitas?"
"Did Tomura tell you my name too?" Vanitas guessed. "Yes. Sora, Bakugo and Ragdoll were all captured, and we didn't lose anyone too important."
"When can I expect you to bring the young Keyblade wielder here?" The voice asked.
Vanitas turned around and chopped the back of Sora's neck with his free hand, before putting his coat back on. "I can move this little family reunion to your residence, if that's what you want."
"Hm. That is acceptable. Kurogiri, send them to where the Nomu are being stored. I will meet them there." The voice instructed.
"Of course, master." The warp gate Villain complied with that order, before creating a portal for Vanitas and his two silhouettes to walk through, dragging Sora's body with them, leaving the rest of the League to put Katsuki in his restraints, by knocking him out after he was decompressed and strapping him up.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST People Always Reaching For The Top]
Back at the summer camp, police officers, paramedics and firefighters were at the scene. Vlad King was able to contact emergency services and they had arrived shortly after the Villains had left. Planes full of water flew over the burning trees and released their loads as they did a few pass byes on the burning section of the forest, while the firefighters on the ground did their best to contain and stop the spread with the water supply they had in the firetrucks they had.
Police officers and paramedics went into the forest, both to find and apprehend any Villains that were still here, as well as treat and escort any students that they find out of the forest. Out of the Forty-one students that came to the camp, fifteen were unconscious and in serious condition, due to the gas, eleven others were injured, thirteen were physically unharmed, and two were missing. Out of the six pro Heroes that were here, one was critically injured due to blunt force trauma to her head, and another was missing, but it was clear that she had lost a lot of blood, due to a large amount of it being spotted and confirmed to be hers. Three Villains were found and arrested, but there was no trace of any others thanks to Kurogiri's warp gate quirk.
Almost all of class 1-B and half of class 1-A were in multiple ambulances and were being taken to the closest hospital in the area. While they were being taken there, The U.A. Homeroom teachers and the two healthy members of the Wild Wild Pussycats reported what they knew to the police. And the unharmed students were taken by the police and escorted to the closest police station in the area for questioning.
[Silence]
Elsewhere, in an old warehouse in the Kamino ward. A purple portal opened and out of it came Vanitas and his silhouettes, dragging Sora's body with them. The dark Keyblade wielder looked around and noticed one thing. There were a lot of Vats, filled with a glowing green liquid. Not only that, but inside the Vats were various Nomus of different shapes and sizes, including the Chainsaw Nomu that was used during the camp attack. "So all they do is sleep and fight." Vanitas commented.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST The Power of All For One]
"These are only useful for skirmishes." The voice from before spoke up, as a rather tall man wearing a suit and a mask that had various life support systems on it, walked out of the shadows and towards his no longer anonymous ally.
"All For One, in the flesh huh?" Vanitas said.
"Tis only fair. Seeing as you have unveiled yourself as well." All For One replied, before turning his attention to Sora's body. "Such a young boy, and yet, his power has the potential to rival that of gods." He placed a hand on Sora's head. "How I cannot wait to make it my own."
"Like I told your poster boy of the League, taking Sora's powers is not that simple." The dark Keyblade wielder repeated.
"So you have said, multiple times." All For One responded. "Care to enlighten me as to why that could be the case?"
"Because his heart is leagues stronger than everyone you've stolen quirks from." Vanitas answered.
"That remains to be seen." All For One took that as a challenge, before the hand he had on Sora's head began to faintly glow red.
"Ghh!...Tch!...Hnn!..." Sora unconsciously grunted as he was under assault by a force that he did not recognize and struggled to repel. "Ha!...Ngh!...Mmm!...Ngh!..."
"Hmm...his willpower is certainly strong, I'll give him that." All For One commented as he concentrated with his quirk. "But he's still just a boy."
Vanitas chuffed at that as he watched this battle of wills continue on, paying attention to Sora's reactions as he observed. The light Keyblade wielder's body began to shake, as if he was physically fighting back against this as well. In spite of that, All For One's hand did not leave Sora's head, but it was clear that this mental battle was much MUCH more difficult than All For One was expecting. "Grrrrraah!...Aaah!...Ngaa!..."
"Hmm!" All For One grunted as he was adamant about this, not allowing himself to be bested by a child, putting all his focus onto his quirk, dead set on taking Sora's powers for himself.
"HaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAA!..." Sora let out a scream before his body began to emit a light strong enough to force All For One's hand off of his head. Then the boy's head drooped down as the light subsided.
"Gah!" All For One let out a pained grunt as he held his hand, as if it was burnt. He panted for a few seconds before he spoke up. "A child like him shouldn't have that much willpower."
"Well, most children don't go around to different worlds, saving them from endless armies of monsters that vary in shapes, sizes and abilities." Vanitas pointed out. "You've only stolen powers from people that not only are limited to one world, but also, who have not fought nearly as much as Sora has."
"...I see your point." All For One begrudgingly agreed with the dark Keyblade wielder. "Then what do you plan to do with him?"
Vanitas reached into Sora's pocket and pulled out the boy's Gummiphone. "To give his friends a show. You have that doctor of yours on speed dial? I need him to do something really quick." He pulled out the camera that Mr. Compress gave him back at the camp.
All For One pressed a button on his mask and then spoke up. "Doctor. I am in need of your talents once more. I have a task that should be simple for you." He then looked back to Vanitas.
"I need access to Sora's phone, and for the most recent video recorded in this camera to be copied onto it." The dark Keyblade wielder said as he began the next step of his plan.
[Silence]
The sun rose as the next day came. And the first thing that many people saw on the news was people reporting on the attack that happened at the summer training camp. The families of the students were busy either being with their respective U.A. students, or were at home, processing what happened. Needless to say, all of the parents were not happy about what happened and the same could be said for any siblings and relatives of the students.
While most of the uninjured students were with their families right now, some weren't. One of those people was Ejiro, who entered the hospital his injured classmates were in to check on them. But then he heard a familiar voice. "Kirishima?"
The red haired student turned around and recognized who spoke to him. "Tetsutetsu?"
"What are you doing here?" They both asked in unison.
"I came to check up on my classmates. And to also apologize to yours." The steel student answered.
"Apologize? For what?" Ejiro wondered.
"For not warning you guys about the hooded guy fast enough." Tetsutetsu said.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Feeling of Paring]
"Back during the attack, Kendo and I took down a gas using Villain, but then that hooded guy showed up, knocked out Kendo and helped his friend out." The steel student explained. "After that guy left and the gas user was about to finish me off, Sora found us and helped me out. I couldn't tell him about the hooded guy during the fight, because of all the gas. But when it finally cleared, Sora took off before I could warn him. I ran as fast as I could to where the Pussycats were, carrying Kendo in my arms."
"Hey man." Kirishima stopped his 1-B rival from going on. "You did what you could. And you at least managed to get that warning out."
"It didn't really do any good though, considering that the guy still got the jump on Sora." Tetsutetsu still felt bad.
"At least you actually did something." Ejiro pointed out. "I heard that my friends were in trouble, and I didn't do anything. I was stuck in a classroom and Vlad wouldn't let me or anyone else leave, even though we wanted to help fight back. You were out there, fighting and protecting our classmates."
"I know." Tetsutetsu said. "I just wish that I could have done more."
"You did everything you could." Kirishima told him. "You took out a Villain, got a comrade out of danger, and told everyone about a Villain that we didn't even know was there until you got to Mandalay. You were much more of a man than I was that night." He could still see Tetsutetsu wasn't feeling like a man. "Don't feel bad about what you think you could have done, and remember the good things that you did do."
"I'll...I'll try to." Tetsutetsu replied. "Thanks for the pep talk. Sorry if I brought the mood down."
"It's fine." The red haired student said as he turned around. "I'm gonna go check up on Midoriya. See you around."
"Yeah. See ya." The steel student then left to go check up on his classmates that were here.
[Silence]
After a few minutes of walking, Ejiro then noticed Shoto. "Eh?!" He exclaimed, catching his classmate's attention. "Why are you at the hospital?"
"I could ask you that." Todoroki pointed out.
"Well, I...couldn't just sit at home. So I figured I would...come here." Kirishima answered.
"...Me too." The ice user said. "I felt the same."
"I'm heading over to Midoriya's. What about you?" Ejiro wondered.
"I came to see him too." Shoto replied. "He was in really bad shape, and since Sora and Bakugo are both his friends, he's probably taking this defeat really hard."
"...Yeah. He would." Kirishima agreed with that.
Both of them walked together through the hallways, but then they noticed something. One of the doors was opened and the boys could see All Might and Naomasa talking with Momo, who was also recovering from her injuries. But then they heard something. "With the assistance of Awase from class 1-B, I attached a tracking device to one of the Villains." She then pulled out a receiver and handed it to All Might. "This is the creation that will receive that signal. I hope it helps your search."
The Number One Hero looked at the device then spoke to his student. "Previously, Aizawa said that you lacked self confidence and judgement needed to make quick decisions. Well look how much you've grown. You have our thanks, Young Yaoyorozu."
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Forever No. 2]
Even though she was praised by All Might, her mood wasn't brightened at all. "With two classmates still in danger, it's frustrating that I can't help you more than this." Her body slightly trembled as she continued. "I hate it even more, because one of them is a close friend to myself and everyone else in the class."
"That painful feeling is proof that you are worthy of being a Hero." The Pro told her. "Please don't worry. You can leave the rest to us."
"I can't help but worry." Momo replied. "But knowing that you're working on this gives me hope that Sora and Bakugo will be alright. Thank you."
"And thank you as well, Young Yaoyorozu." All Might said. "Now rest. You've more than earned it."
As the conversation ended, the two adults left the room. They didn't notice the two 1-A boys, because the pair had left a moment prior to the end of that conversation. But now that the boys heard that, they both had the same idea going through their heads. They would have told Izuku about it, but the green haired student was unable to have visitors today. Eventually, the two of them left the Hospital, noticing Recovery Girl enter as they were leaving, most likely to help heal the injured students.
[Play FF7 Remake Integrate OST Advanced Weaponry]
Elsewhere, in someplace underground. A bald scientist had just finished working on something in a chamber of some sorts. "Quirk compatibility is stable. No issues with the transfer. Mental psyche is partially intact, though not enough for you to become as rebellious as you were years ago. Heeheeheeeee! Ah, Hood! You're almost ready. You'll make a fine High End." Then he heard a beep from his goggles. He tapped a button on them and then spoke up. "Ah, Master. To what do I owe the honor?"
"Doctor, I am in need of your talents once more." All For One's voice was heard. "I have a task that should be simple for you."
"Of course, Master. What is it that you require?" The doctor asked.
After a brief moment of silence, All For One spoke to him once more. "Our ally, Vanitas, has apprehended Sora. After a failed attempt at taking his powers, our otherworldly ally has proposed that we break the boy's spirit, making it possible for me to take his powers for my own."
"Are you suggesting that I modify his body?" The doctor asked.
"No." All For One answered. "Vanitas wished to personally break the boy's spirit. Vengeance for what he has gone through for over a decade."
"Where do I fit into this?" The doctor wondered.
"Vanitas has acquired Sora's cellular device, and has a camera that contains video footage of Sora violently attacking one of our former colleagues, Moonfish." All For One explained.
"You want me to transfer that video footage to Sora's phone, don't you?" The doctor guessed.
"As well as give Vanitas access to it, so that he can record more videos onto it." All For One finished.
"While I will not question your orders, Master. I fail to see the logic in Vanitas' plan." The doctor said.
"Sora is unlike anyone I have ever encountered." All For One told him. "His willpower matches and probably even exceeds that of All Might and the previous holders of One For All. Because of that, I cannot simply take his powers. So, there is only one way for me to even have a chance of taking them. The boy's spirit must break. Vanitas has told me that Sora's power comes from his connections and his strong desire to protect his friends."
"I see. So you plan on tempting his friends to come to his aid. Then to remove them from the equation." The doctor realized. "If it is done in front of the boy, then he will certainly be broken. I'll have Vanitas transported here at once, Master."
"Thank you, good Doctor." All For One said before he cut their call.
The doctor then rushed over to his computer and turned to speak to a tiny Nomu that was connected to a tube and had shoes on its hands. It also wore a transparent helmet with various mechanisms on it . "Johnny! Come here my boy. I need your help."
The tiny Nomu, now known as Johnny, did as instructed and approached his master. The doctor then fidgeted with one of the mechanisms on his head and the tiny Nomu opened its mouth, regurgitating black ooze that soon formed and after a brief moment, Vanitas' body came out of it.
The dark Keyblade wielder didn't seem affected by the sudden teleportation, until he turned his head and spat out the same black liquid from in his mouth. The way with quirk worked was that the black ooze would also come out of the one being teleported, and that would normally cause said person to cough for a while, as they wouldn't be able to breath with all that ooze in them. But for Vanitas, it wasn't really a problem. He's been through that and worse.
"So this is where the magic happens." Vanitas commented before he handed the phone and camera to the doctor. "The sooner that gets done, the sooner we can get started."
"Don't act like you're my superior, boy." The doctor warned. "You may be 'immortal' But I've still lived longer than you."
"Since my body doesn't age I'll outlive your extended lifespan, old man." Vanitas pointed out.
"Bold words coming from a person who's died before." The doctor commented as he worked on the phone, easily unlocking it.
"Well, unlike you and everyone else I've met, you can't come back after biting the dust." The dark Keyblade wielder shot back.
"Don't underestimate the power of science." The doctor said as he began transferring the video footage of Rage Sora onto the Gummiphone. "It's just as dangerous, if not more so than your magic."
Vanitas was given back the Gummiphone. "You're no Xehanort."
"I don't need to be him to be smarter than you." The doctor said as he tweaked with Johnny again to send Vanitas back to All For One's location. Once the dark Keyblade wielder was gone, he spoke to the tiny Nomu. "Good job Johnny. Go ahead and continue your walk."
Johnny did what he was told and began to aimlessly walk around the laboratory, while the doctor went back to working on what he called 'Hood'.
Back at the warehouse, black ooze soon erupted out of thin air and out of it came Vanitas, who once again wasn't phased by the ooze in his mouth, simply spitting it out like it was a wad of gum that lost its flavor. He then fidgeted with Sora's phone for a moment, while creating a large dark orb around himself, All For One and Sora. He found out that Sora's list of friends had exponentially grown, which pleased him greatly as it meant more people for him to use against his 'brother'. He then also found the camera on the phone. "Good. Now we're in business."
"Now that you've acquired your tools, what will you do to Sora first?" All For One wondered.
"Let's start off strong." Vanitas said as he created another silhouette to hold the phone while he made a dark corridor, reformed his mask and stepped through the dark corridor. "Let's rob Sora of a precious moment that can never be redone. And I know just the person to rob him of it."
[Silence]
Over at U.A. Highschool, The entrance was locked down. Outside was every news outlet in Japan, all demanding for their questions to be answered. "When are you going to open the gates?!" "We hear your silence! When can we expect an official statement from U.A.'s administration!?" "Has anyone been in contact with the families of the children you've allowed to be endangered?!"
Inside the building, the staff members of U.A. were in the middle of a meeting as they discussed the events that transpired last night. "That training camp was meant to prepare students to handle Villain attacks. The irony is shameful." Nezu stated. "We knew the League would resurface, but we lacked a fundamental understanding of their plans. They aim to destroy Hero society, and they've already started their war."
"Even if we had understood, could we really have avoided this attack?" Midnight questioned. "They're moving pieces we didn't even know they possessed. Besides, All Might put an end to most organized crime. We're all rusty."
"We've definitely gotten complacent during peaceful times without realizing it." Present Mic agreed with that. "I guess deep down, all of us thought we'd be riding the sweet life for good."
Toshinori looked the most ashamed. "I will never forgive myself for such cowardly ignorance. While our students were fighting desperately for their lives, I was just having a relaxing soak in the bath."
"We shouldn't have had the Sports Festival right after the U.S.J. attack." Snipe pointed out. "We wanted to show that we were still strong. But to have two students kidnapped is our greatest failure as teachers. They've taken Bakugo, Sora, and society's faith in Heroes away from us."
"I agree. Every news outlet is currently condemning U.A. High." Nezu said as he showed a sports festival report and the current newspaper.. "If Bakugo was one of the main targets, it's likely because the Villains noticed the violent tendencies during the Sports Festival broadcast. If he ends up joining the side of the Villains, it will be the end of U.A. as a school."
"And that's not even mentioning Sora's capture." Midnight added. "He was already speculated to be a target, because of how powerful he was, but to think that one of those Organization members, and Vanitas no less, was part of the League."
"Vanitas likely wanted to kidnap Sora because of their history." Nezu spoke up again as he pulled out a file on Vanitas that was printed by Moogle, as well as Sora's file that they had in their system. "We only know as much as Sora does about him, but one thing is certain. He is working with the League because their ideals are matched. Hero society helps keep order and peace, which Vanitas abhors, considering how his powers work. Helping the League sow chaos by destroying the public's trust in us would benefit him in many ways."
"Since we're on the topic of trust, there's something I think has to be voiced now." Present Mic spoke up. "At this point, we can't deny it anymore. Can we? There's a traitor at this school." The staff were not expecting to hear that but Mic explained why this was possible. "Only the teachers and the pussycats knew where the training camp would be. Don't you think that's a little suspicious? I guess a kid could have used their phone to message a Villain, but..."
"Stop this, Mic!" Midnight interrupted him.
"What's the problem?!" Mic protested. "We have to find who the leak is!"
"Could be you for all we know." Snipe said. "You got any proof that you're a hundred percent innocent? Can we know that everyone in this room is an ally?" Mic couldn't argue against that, as much as he wanted to. "If we start doubting each other, we'll destroy ourselves from the inside. Accusing a traitor isn't something we should take lightly."
"At the very least, I trust everyone sitting at this table, though there is also no way for me to prove to all of you that I am innocent." Nezu told the staff. "For the moment, what we must do as a school is concentrate on guaranteeing the safety of our student body. This is a good time to implement something I've wanted to put in place for a while. You see, I..." He was interrupted.
"A PHONE CALL IS HERE!" Yagi's ringtone was heard as someone was calling him. He saw who it was. "Excuse me everyone, I have to take this."
"We're in a meeting. At least set it to vibrate." present Mic pointed out.
"Why is that his ringtone?" Midnight asked.
Toshinori left the room. "What Symbol of Peace can't even keep his students safe from harm? What Hero can't?" He then spoke to his caller. "Sorry. What is it, Tsukauchi?"
Over at the police station Naomasa spoke up. "We've finally finished taking a comprehensive statement from Aizawa and Vlad King, and I think we've found something. It's possible we have a lead on where the League of Villains is hiding."
"Really? Are you serious!?" Yagi replied.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Analysis]
"Yep." The detective answered. "About two weeks ago, I sent an officer around to gather information. A bystander pointed out that he'd seen a man with a patchwork face entering a building that was supposed to be vacant. The man looked to be in his twenties, but we didn't have any plausible matches when we checked criminal records. We spoke with the owner of the building though, and found that there's a sort of hidden bar there. My man thought that this was unrelated to the kidnapping case and didn't investigate further. But, remember that description of that Villain from the attack? He had a patchwork face." He then told him what they were going to do with this info. "Given the profile of this crime, we'll move as soon as we get the green light. This is top secret. I'm only telling you because it's you. We plan to ask for cooperation from many Pro Heroes for this rescue and inevitable clean up mission. All Might, we need your power." There was no response for a moment. "All Might, are you still there?"
Toshinori began to buff up. "Tsukauchi, You're a wonderful friend. And I'll know just what I saw when I find them. I AM HERE. TO MAKE YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE."
[Silence]
Meanwhile across all of Japan, news outlets were talking about the events that transpired last night. Monitors on the building had news anchors on them. "It would appear that the principal offenders behind the U.A. high training camp attack, call themselves the League Of Villains' Vanguard Action Squad. The League was previously involved in the U.S.J. attack and the Hosu incident."
The airport monitors had reporters talking about it. "The Youngest victim in the training camp attack is reportedly the son of Pro Heroes Water Hose, who were killed by Muscular in a tragic..."
Even the T.V. at the bar was playing one right now. "It's perfectly obvious to me that there's some sort of problem with U.A.'s current management. If I had a child who wanted to become a Hero, there's no way that I'll enroll them in a school that'll..."
The monitor was shut off by Tomura, who let out a gleeful chuckle. "I'm so grateful to the media for all the free publicity lately." He turned to his 'guest'. "Right? Isn't it nice, Katsuki Bakugo?"
The explosive teen did not respond to that, but before any more words could be said, a dark corridor appeared and out came Vanitas, who was currently masked and had his attention on one person in this room. "Toga." He spoke up.
"Hm?" Himiko perked up, curious as to why she was called. "What's up Vanny?"
"I need you to come with me really quick." The dark Keyblade wielder told her. "I'd like for you to help me with my brother."
"Ohhhhh. I get to see Sora again?" Toga felt giddy. "What do you want me to do? Can I cut him some more? Can I suck up his blood?"
"I'll handle the cutting." Vanitas answered. "Come on."
"YAYYY!" Himiko cheered as she was basically given permission to drink one of her 'crush's' blood. She happily followed Vanitas through the dark corridor. "Ahh! There he is!" She could see Sora's body, still beaten up and covered in Moonfish's blood. "Oh~ he's even cuter than when I first met him. He looks so beat up, and all that blood. Ahhh~ I want him."
Vanitas smiled at that warped lust. This was exactly what he wanted from her. He wanted her to crave him right now, to yearn for him. Now all he had to do was grant her wish and guide her to the appropriate place.
A.N. The next scene is about to be...really dark. If you feel uncomfortable while reading it, skip to the next author's note that is placed at the end of this scene. You have been warned.
[Play FF7 Remake Integrade OST Nero, The Sable {Prelude to Death}]
Vanitas took Toga's knife from her, but before she could protest, the dark Keyblade wielder placed a finger on her lips. "Let me do this, and you'll not only have him, but you'll have a moment with him that will be both of yours forever." The girl seemed intrigued by that as she allowed him to go to Sora with her blade.
Vanitas approached his 'brother' and had the knife at the ready. He grabbed Sora by the chin and opened the boy's mouth, before carefully sticking the knife in there and letting the blade touch Sora's tongue. Then after looking back to Himiko, sporting a dark smile on his face, he quickly jerked the blade back, drawing blood.
The sharp pain in Sora's mouth caused him to wake up once more from being knocked out. He quickly looked around and noticed a change in scenery, but before he could process it, he felt liquid leaking out of his mouth and felt a sting on his tongue. He quickly deduced that he was bleeding.
The light Keyblade wielder closed his mouth, to prevent more blood from coming out, but the wound was large enough for the blood to almost fill his mouth in seconds, forcing him to swallow his blood down his throat. Then he heard Vanitas speak up. "Hey, Toga. There's something interesting you should know."
"Really? What is it?" Himiko asked.
"Did you know that Sora hasn't had his first kiss yet." Vanitas stated, as he remembered hearing that while he was quietly observing the events at the training camp from the shadows.
Sora's eyes widened with dread as he had a bad feeling where this was going. "He hasn't?" Toga repeated before gasping. "Are you saying that I..."
"He's bleeding the most through the mouth." Vanitas pointed out. "And I know how much you love blood."
"Oh, thank you thank you THANK YOU!" Himiko jumped for joy before hugging Vanitas like he was a sibling giving her a gift. Sora began to panic as he struggled to move, only for the two silhouettes to keep him there. "Aw. He's nervous. Don't worry, Sora. This is my first kiss too." She walked over to him and placed her hands on his cheeks. "Now, pucker up."
Sora jerked his head away to stop her from doing this, but then he felt the back of his head get grabbed and held in place. "Here, I'll help you out, 'brother'." He then felt Himiko's fingers pinch his nose shut. The light Keyblade wielder couldn't move his head away now, and he couldn't breathe in through his nose anymore.

Toga's lips pressed onto Sora's. Her free hand wrapped around Sora's neck, locking herself there, making certain that she wouldn't break off from this wondrous moment that she will forever cherish. She only wished that she could taste Sora's fluids as she made out with him, but she would get her wish soon enough.
Sora however felt as if he was having a nightmare. He was saving his first kiss for Kairi, and he planned on giving it to her the next time the two of them saw each other, but now he couldn't do that, because this vampire, obsessed with drinking his blood, stole it from him. All he could do was keep her from reaching her goal by keeping his mouth shut, even as he felt her tongue press and lather his lips with her saliva.
Vanitas kept quiet as he watched this happen, making sure that Sora's head didn't jerk away by holding it in place. He also glanced over at the silhouette that was holding the boy's phone and grinned under his mask as he knew this was being recorded. However he also knew that Sora could hold his breath for a long time, so he made sure that he would drastically shorten that time. He used his free hand and conjured up a dark Blizzard spell in his palms, before placing that palm on Sora's exposed back.
The sudden bone tingling chill almost made Sora open his mouth from the cold alone, but he kept it shut, not allowing the pair to get what they wanted. However, that was just the beginning. After a few seconds of cold, he felt a sudden rush of heat as his body temperature began to rise. He felt his back burn and realized that Vanitas changed to a dark Fire spell. His body trembled as he struggled to keep himself from opening his mouth.
Then Sora felt a shock throughout his back and it reached up to his head and shoulders. Vanitas switched to a dark Thunder spell and did a controlled shock to his skull and spine. As much as Sora tried to, his mouth could no longer stay shut and the floodgates were opened.
Himiko's eyes began to sparkle as she finally got what she wanted. She let go of Sora's nose and wrapped her other arm around his neck, pulling herself closer as she slithered her tongue into the boy's mouth, savoring the moment as she went all the way with him.
Sora tried to close his mouth again, but Toga's tongue was already inside it, slithering around his tongue, soaking up the blood that was pouring out of it. This couldn't get any worse for him as his mouth was being violated by this Villain, getting sucked dry of his blood. In an attempt to stop this from continuing on, he clamped his teeth together, biting down on his assailant's tongue.
Himiko reacted to the sudden biting of her tongue, however it was far from the reaction that the light Keyblade wielder expected or wanted. She moaned with pleasure and pressed her body onto his, only getting more aroused from the boy's actions. She unwrapped one of her arms from around Sora's neck and then placed it on his exposed stomach, slowly dragging her nails up his body, under his ripped shirt, up to his chest and around to his back. She dug her nails deep and penetrated his skin.
Toga let out a giggle as she continued to have her way with Sora, feeling his muscles under his shirt, drinking his blood from his mouth, savoring their shared first kiss thanks to the kindness of Sora's brother, who was more than willing to give her this moment that she would cherish for life.
A.N. The scene ends here. If you skipped it, I don't blame you. If you didn't, then hopefully you aren't too disturbed by what just happened.
[Silence]
Then, the blood stopped coming out of Sora's mouth. With no more blood to drink, Himiko finally pulled away from the lips of her 'crush' and swallowed what remaining blood was in her mouth, before licking her lips as they were stained with his red fluids as well. "That was magical." She said, feeling like a princess who just kissed her prince charming.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it." Vanitas commented as he let go of his 'brother's' head and let it droop down. "It makes me even more glad because I recorded it." Sora's eyes widened once more as he looked towards Vanitas with a shocked expression, earning a laugh from the masked boy. "A first kiss only happens once. Why would I not commemorate the moment? What kind of brother would I be?"
The silhouette stopped recording as Vanitas said that and when the dark Keyblade wielder walked over to it, he could feel Sora's emotions in that moment. The sadness, the anger, the overwhelming sense of guilt and failure. All because he kissed a girl he didn't like. Vanitas loved this and savored the moment while it lasted, because the next big blow he could do to Sora, required some of his friends to come to his aid.
There's no point in me talking about any other parts of the chapter aside from the last part. I already know that most of the people are going to question my morals, for letting Himiko do that to Sora. Here's my answer. Sora's heart is damn near unbreakable when you don't have his friends as leverage. One of the best ways for Vanitas to hurt him, would be to do something like this. And before anyone asks if I researched this, like I how I researched medical knowledge and train times and routes of Japan, for the Hosu stuff, I though about researching it, but I chose not to. I don't want sexual assault cases on my search history. I hope you guys...tolerated this chapter, and until I decide to upload again.
