The visitors left the ancient cultures exhibit by following All Might request who still assisted the weak woman while observed by the security guard that has the direct order not to leave his post.

The museum guard approached both present, witnessing more closely how the incident unfolded, addressing All Might directly.

—I insist that she should be taken to a hospital.

—IT'S NOT NECESSARY. SHE HAS A UNUSUAL MEDICAL CONDITION BUT WILL BE FINE IN A FEW MINUTES.

—How Irresponsible! She must wear a medical bracelet describing that condition and treatment... This reckless girl is just scaring people around... There were children in here.

—YOU'RE RIGHT... I'LL TELL HER ONCE SHE WAKES UP... —He agreed to avoid getting into conflict.

The guard proceeded to watch the room entrance to avoid visitors witnessing another panic situation. He could trust that the great hero All Might would not cause any problems with the exhibition.

The hero was tired of this unusual and frustrating condition. As done before, he lifted her heavy body from the floor, this time avoiding her gaze to focus on the large engraved stele, fearing that the impression would cause another faint.

—WAS THIS THE REASON THEY HAD SO MANY RESTRICTIONS ON HER?

The blond's hands began to perceive how the movement inside the girl's veins was chaotic, but the sound of her heartbeat remained slow and constant, as if her body wanted to normalize but her out-of-sync heart prevented it.

A few minutes that felt like hours passed and the blue-haired girl's eyelids began to show movement, gradually lightening her weight and opening her eyes barely distinguishing the figure of her caregiver.

—PLEASE CALM DOWN, I CAN'T ALLOW YOU TO SEE OR SAY ANYTHING UNTIL YOU SETTLE DOWN. —He said helping her to stand up, noticing that she was still agitated and could collapse again at any moment.

—YOU ARE NOT STABLE ENOUGH TO CONTINUE, WE'D BETTER LEAVE. —Said the blond, uneasy.

With the little strength she had left, the maiden let go of the man, took a proud stand with her head held high as she used to in Gaia, trying to fix her hair that gave off a scent of toilet deodorant.

She cautiously advanced towards the big blue stone, being followed by the blond in case she collapsed again. The scale between the writings and the humans was impressive, even All Might looked small in comparison.

—All Might, this is not another world nor another dimension as you supposed... it's just another time. —Confessed the blue-haired woman, leaving the man perplexed.

—That makes more sense in a way. —Her hands trembled.

—And sadly... the rest doesn't. —Her legs almost gave up, being held again by the hero before falling. The girl once more pressed her chest trying to calm herself.

All Might turned his attention to the large ancient block engraved in front of him.

—THERE ARE MANY ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS AROUND THE WORLD... THANKS TO THE VESTIGES OF HISTORY, ALL OF THEM HAVE BEEN DECIPHERED EXCEPT FOR ONE...

The girl's breathing felt heavier after hearing his words, she was barely able to breathe doing her best not to fall unconscious again while trying to keep her upright posture.

—We are also unaware of this civilization. All its history... everything that could be used to discover its mystery was destroyed, except for these pieces that will remain with us until the end of time... The Poneglyphs, whose engravings contain the void century history...

—These are indestructible... —A defiant smile appeared on her face while mentioning those words.

—The world government did its best to erase everything that can provide us with this ancient civilization history, including the genocide of a village of scholars capable of reading them.

—OHARA —He recalled the story of the old man's past and the details told by the Surgeon of Death.

—Something must have happened to erase a whole era again. —She said, squeezing the hero's shoulder tightly in anger.

—YOU MEAN... WE TRAVELED FROM THE PAST? THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE, THE GEOMORPHOLOGY AND CLIMATOLOGY ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!

—Mr. Toshinori. Lower your voice. —She demanded a little irritated.

—I don't know how much time has passed, but I'm more than sure... It is not another world.

All Might was still incredulous at the young woman's assertions; she must be wrong.

Yue laid down on the floor in case she lost consciousness once more. Resting her arms on her stomach and looked at the ceiling, being joined by the hero who sat next to her.

—I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN ERASE THE RECORDS OF HISTORY. I'M SORRY, BUT THAT SOUNDS ABSURD.

—They must have used the three ancient weapons. —She said inexpressively, observing the great stele.

—And again, they erased part of the past.

The young woman turned her head quickly, looking at the ceiling again with her eyes wide open and hiding her lips in a totally ridiculous expression, watching the stele out of the corner of her eye while a drop slid down her forehead.

—WHAT'S GOING ON?

—I'm getting upset... I need to relax. —She closed both eyes and began humming the peaceful tune used to calm Gaia's denizens.

Yagi got puzzled by her sudden reaction.

—It's weird... Poneglyph characters are all irregular shapes, but that one is perfect... —Yue stood to approach the Poneglyph.

—CAN YOU READ THEM?

—No. But I can hear them… The problem is that I don't know how to make them "talk". —She said, examining the irregularities on the writings.

—ARE THOSE ABLE TO SPEAK?

—Not really. The roughness in the texture of the engravings emits a vibration creating a sound. But the truth is, those sounds are in reality the voices of an extinct language. There was only one person able to read them, and I'm unaware how many can hear them. Likewise, I do not know how I should interact with the engravings to generate those vibrations... Maybe the wind could cause the sound, but we are indoors.

—The weird thing here is that at the end of these writings there is a perfect circle, which is completely different from any symbol I have seen before in the engravings. —She ran her finger around the inside perimeter of the engraved circle.

—THAT COULD BE A SIMPLE MISTAKE.

—It can't be a mistake... There must have a reason, but what is it?

Toshinori pulled out his cellphone, turning on the flashlight to light the inside of the perfect engraving.

—WITCHCRAFT! —She thought in amazement with bulging eyes.

They could both appreciate the perfection of the contour as if it had been cut with a laser, but there was a small anomaly... A hole hidden inside.

—DOES THAT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT? —He asked, pointing the little hole.

—I've never seen anything like this before... —She answered, looking at the surroundings like a meerkat.

—WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

—Something I can fit in that hole...

—All Might, your hair looks stiff as spikes… Do you use some futuristic mixture in it to keep it from moving...

—AGAIN WITH THE HAIR?!

—It won't work, will it? —She mocked sarcastically.

—Maybe the bones from some corset... Damn it. I left mine on the ceiling last night...

—WHAT ELSE HAS A RODS OR A NEEDLES?

—Are those hats with needles used to stab perverts still a thing?

—THEY'RE NOT.

—And now how do they stab them?

—THAT'S A CRIME, THE AUTHORITIES MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN.

—How beautiful the future is. —She said sarcastically.

—Wait... Stalking or stabbing?

—BOTH

—Never mind, sounds like a wonderful future...

—Ah! I know! —Yue began to manipulate under one of her breasts.

—WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

—The bra rod can work.

—DON'T DO THAT, IT'S A PUBLIC PLACE!

—Fuck etiquette and manners Yagi, let me be. —She chuckled removing the honorifics to the hero.

—SHE'S GOING WILD!

—Ya-Ta! —Yue stood up dropping the rod, taking it to fit it into the small hole, managing to press and then twist, thus throwing out what looked like a cap.

Both of them were curious and excited by what they had discovered. A familiar artifact came out of the millenary stele, causing a big smile on the young woman while the hero was stunned by the revelation.

—ETERNAL POSE! WHERE WILL IT LEAD?

—I don't know... But I'll go wherever it leads... It's all or nothing. —She said with a determined expression and big smile. Her attitude changed completely revealing her true adventurous and enthusiastic personality.

—WHAT'S ALL THE FUSS? —Asked the annoyed guard standing behind the pair of transgressors, who turned around with a ridiculously blank stare.

The guard saw the strange device in the girl's hand and the tiny hole in the stele.

—WAIT! DID THAT COME OUT OF THERE? —He was puzzled, then became annoyed.

—YOU! IT WAS ALL AN ACT; PUT IT BACK IMMEDIATELY, THAT... THAT THING... BELONGS TO THE NATION. —He pointed upset at the artifact in her hands.

—ALL MIGHT, WHY ARE YOU HELPING THIS DELINQUENT?!

—Delinquent? —She hid her gaze as got up from the floor.

—I didn't get a chance to introduce myself properly. —Said calmly as she shook out her garments.

—I am Dr. Carter, archaeologist specialized in the study and analysis of this ancient civilization, it seems you did not receive the memo of my arrival. —Yue lied, resuming her polite persona.

—I'd really appreciate it if you could not involve Mr. All Might, since he is only in charge of taking care of me, when i have those sudden fainting spells.

—Dr. Carter huh...? Allow me to corroborate your visit with the director. —Said suspiciously, taking out his radio to communicate with his colleagues, moving a little away from the pair.

—Yagi... —She tried to catch the blond's attention, asking him to come closer so he could listen.

—Yagi... we need to unalive him...

—Unalive him? What do you mean by that? —He asked puzzled.

—You know... the K word? —She said, drawing a horizontal line on her neck with the thumb.

—YOU CAN'T BE SUGGESTING ME TO DO THAT! —The hero exalted, making the young woman laugh.

—It's a joke, it's a joke. But if you want to, it's not a joke…

—SILENCE, BOTH OF YOU! —The guard who was still waiting for an answer ordered irritably, not being able to connect with the channels.

—Seriously... I just bought us some time; we need to lose sight of this guy.

—If we committ a crime, we need to face the consequences.

—You know...I admire your sense of justice very much... But right now, it's no a good time!

—...

—How are you? —He asked surprised that the mess they had gotten themselves into, didn't affect her.

—Well, I'm used getting into trouble and being questioned. —Replied mischievously.

—SHE'S ENJOYING IT!

—We didn't manage to make contact with the director... Just hand over that... That thing to fill out the report. —The guard hesitated as he referred to the eternal pose being a completely unknown object.

_HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO CONTACT HIS COLLEAGUES_ A drop slid down his face due to the incompetence of the guard.

—Could you help me with your ID?

—My what?! —She looked puzzled to All Might

—IDENTIFICATION

—I'm terribly sorry, I have no identification, the of my arrival I was stripped of my belongings by a criminal. —She commented calmly, showing her bandaged arms.

—I will cooperate with your report, but I'm not allowed to give you this artifact... I can return it to where it was and contact my boss to see what to do with the permits.

—It's not that simple, Doctor.

—I know, I just want to avoid the paperwork... These reports are worse than those of damage to historical pieces, who knows how many hours it will take, and I need to go for a check-up with my specialist... I've already wasted too much time with these sudden fainting spells. —The girl continued on and on with her lie, worrying the hero with the ease with which she spread falsehoods without flinching...

The guard exhaled tiredly, thinking about the hours it could take for the full report, so in the end he decided to take her word for it, watching the girl to reintroduce the weird artifact, followed by a report full of stilted words invented by the blue-haired woman with some truthful information to not raise suspicions of the guard and to be able to leave as soon as possible.


—Seventy-four it's a number! —She claimed irritated sitting down on the couch.

—WHEN SOMEONE ASKS FOR A "NUMBER" YOU MUST SAY TEN DIGITS!... DEPENDING ON THE PLACE OF RESIDENCE ARE THE FIRST THREE AND THE REST IS UP TO YOU TO MAKE UP...

—WAIT, I SHOULDN'T HELP YOU CONTINUE LYING. —He said surprised by his mistake.

—Too late... Thanks for the tip.

—AS IF YOU WEREN'T ALREADY GOOD ENOUGH AT IT! —He expressed, annoyed.

—I'll impersonate whoever I need to, and change my look a thousand times to find out what I want... Even if that means lying and living in isolation from everyone.

All Might remained silent. He was intrigued to know what had led her to that lifestyle, but he was worried his question would affect her because of her fragile state.

—THEN... HOW WILL YOU GET THE ETERNAL POSE? —He turned to look at the young woman who was hiding her lips, turning away suspiciously.

—MISS YUE...

—YUE! —He raised his voice as he noticed that she was hiding something from him.

—Ta-dah! —She exclaimed smiling proudly, hitting the table and releasing the Eternal Pose she kept in her long sleeves.

—YOU STOLE IT!

—Oh come on, it's not like they were going to find it on their own? How many millenniums have passed and they haven't managed to discover anything about the Poneglyphs? They're not going to miss it. —She said without remorse, feeling judged by the hero.

—Oi, don't look at me like that... The great All Might cooperated with pirates, you're no more innocent than I am. —She mocked the hero who had a depressive aura over him.

—WHEN THEY FIND OUT, YOU WILL BE IN TROUBLE... WE WILL BE.

—IF they find out. —She winked confidently.

—THERE WERE SECURITY CAMERAS!

—Oh... well... There is nothing we can we do about it. —Replied nonchalantly.

Toshinori rested his hands on his face; He couldn't understand how he had gotten into this mess. Would leaving her alone have ended the same way?
He felt complicit in a crime, imagining in his head a life paying the consequences of his actions, suddenly having his thoughts interrupted by the girl.

—Oh relax Yagi… Can I call you Yagi? We are friends, aren't we? I mean, we already committed our first crime together. —She said it mockingly, letting out her laughter as she saw the blond's reaction.

—THAT'S WHY THEY KEEP HER QUIET, SHE'S JUST AS INSOLENT AS THE PIRATES_

Yue calmed her laughter making a series of inhalations to relax her agitation again after enjoying annoying the hero…returning to a serious tone for the sake of her health

—Yagi... I don't know if it's the circumstances, but you're the only person I can trust... I hope you'll forgive me for lying and getting you into this mess... I'm willing to pay the price for my deception! —She said determinedly with a defiant gaze.

—I just... I don't know if I can trust the rest of the world as well. —She confessed squeezing the seat of the sofa.

All Might curiously analyzed her behavior, not being able to identify if she was genuinely sorry or if it was some kind of manipulation.

—FRIENDSHIP AND TRUST... THEN MAY I TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO ASK... HOW DID THE WORLD CHANGE? —Curious used the opportunity to gain information.

—I can't read the Poneglyphs... We don't know what happened eight hundred years before the great pirate era, somehow, they managed to completely erase all the information.

—HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?

—By destroying and hiding everything that can be linked to that great event

—BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE, WE HAVE THE RECORDED HISTORY!

—You have the version of history they want you to believe...

—They manipulate the information to their liking, there must be something capable of erasing those events and all their information. If they did it before it could happen again.

—WHO ARE "THEY"?

—Those who lead the world...

—THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE...

—NO. IT CAN'T BE... EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT IN EVERY WAY

—That's the weird thing... What happened that brought this change? and... What's the reason to hide it?

—THIS IS ABSURD, IT HAS TO BE ANOTHER WORLD, ANOTHER DIMENSION OR MULTIVERSE. — A cushion suddenly hit him, knocking out his words

—Don't you pay attention?... I told you it's impossible.

If Poneglyphs exist, it means that there were once devil fruits and their respective guardians, which are the very manifestation of the demon's fruit... You were chosen by a guardian, All Might... For one of them to show up out of the underworld is not only extremely unusual, you could say it's im-po-si-ble, they can't survive outside of it if they have no one to link their lives to... It must have been really desperate to do it. —She said it with anguish, thinking deeply about the reasons for it.

Yue needed information that she could not know without been present during Yagi's journey. She organized her ideas to generate THE question that would give a helpfull answer, but being the hero alien to the past, could not understand what specific information could be of help to her.

The solution appeared to her as she remembered that during his voyage among the fellow pirates, there was one of the most astute and intelligent people she had ever dealt with.

—Trafalgar is very perceptive... He must have noticed something. Didn't he say anything to you?

—IT SEEMS THAT YOUNG LAW NOTICED THAT I AWAKEN HAKI… ALSO, HE WAS INTERESTED WHEN THE KARIOZIK... SEA STONE AFFECTED ME.

—Mmm kairoseki... So, you guys are not able to swim either...

—THEY SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THAT, BUT NO… WE ARE ABLE TO FLOAT AND SWIM WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. —The blond clarify, noticing how the young woman was interested in the revelation, widening her eyes and keeping silent.

All the disordered ideas in her head caused her heart to start failing. The blue-haired woman pressed on her chest, tried to calm her mind and normalize her breathing.

Her pupils retracted, she was ready to collapse and the hero ready to catch her in case of another faint kicks in, but after a few minutes the maiden managed to control herself.

It seems that your Quirks are nothing more than a weak version of a devil's fruit... —She concluded in a low voice barely heard by the hero.

—Something... Something important is going to happen... And you're part of it... That's why I gambled my life for you! As I said before... I had no choice. —She finally confessed despondently.

It's not like I had a choice.

—I don't know what it is, when it will happen or what your role will be... I share what I know... Normally I would rather die than talk. —She revealed pointing to her arms and uncovering her neck that also showed traces of scars. Then smiled broadly hiding regret.

—DID YOU CAUSED THEM?

—Having valuable knowledge always ends in torture or death Yagi-san... So you better stay shut. —After those words it was finally clear to the hero why Yue lived hiding from everyone.

He didn't know what to say or how to react, it all seemed crazy... Everything they know is a lie, but why hide it? What was so dangerous or devastating that it was better to hide.

He refused to believe and at the same time, he wished not to distrust... But in front of him he had an Eternal Pose that kept him absorbed in his thoughts.

—If there are any answers... Must be there. —Yue said, pointing at the artifact as she saw that the hero was devoting all his attention to it.

—WE NEED TO RETURN THE ETERNAL POSE, MISS YUE.

—No. Now that they know of its existence... They are going to investigate it...

—ISN'T THAT GOOD?

Yue just shook her head pressing her hands together, without giving more details.

—SO, WHAT DO WE DO WITH IT?

—I don't know! I don't want it to be used or fall into the wrong hands... I'll be honest... I want to break it.

—I'm in no condition to use or protect it... I can barely breathe and hardly handle the weight of my body... I get easily fatigued, and any emotional reaction I have, positive or negative, generates a pinching in my chest before I lose consciousness... Although I finally feel free to express myself as I wish, I fall prey to my emotions that can end up killing me. —She confessed, letting out her pain.

—And I can't even cry because I start to feel weak... happiness or sadness, I will have to repress and isolate everything I feel. —She clutched her chest and began to control her breathing, trying to accept that new life.

Yagi covered his eyes ashamed of himself after listening to the words of the self-proclaimed new friend, what kind of hero is not capable of helping those who are in need?

He felt a hand resting on his hair. The hero uncovered his eyes to see in front of him the girl with a sweet smile trying to comfort him.

—It's not your fault.

—YOU CAN ENTRUST IT TO ME, I WILL TAKE CARE THAT NO ONE GETS IT. —He proposed to lighten his burden.

—I'm sorry, I can't give you that responsibility, I don't know what consequences it will bring to "Mr. first-class hero." Maybe by possessing it, they will consider you a threat. —She finished her words by giving him a hug.

—But thank you for your help, Yagi-san. —Said tenderly, shedding a few tears.

She had years without feeling the warmth of another being, losing consciousness at the moment.

The hero took the girl to his room, placing her on the bed, noticing how the mattress was completely sunk thus leaving the springs useless. Distressed by her state, he covered the maiden with a blanket to let her rest, retiring to his temporary room and collapsing his exhausted body on the sofa, leaving his mind blank.

His eyes were focused on the Eternal Pose displayed in the center of the table, remembering all the information he still could not assimilate. His body could not resist any longer, he needed to rest, although in his present he had only spent 1 day, in reality he experienced almost 2 weeks of a journey full of mysteries and villainy.

All Might closed his eyes for a moment to end up falling into a deep sleep, both his mind and his body did not answered anymore.

The sunlight came through the windows announcing a new day, Toshinori had fallen unconscious from exhaustion realizing how late it was, he checked the time on his phone noticing the alarm of the application linked to the watch had sounded continuously, marking zero heart rate and heart pressure.

A shiver ran through the hero's body expecting the worst, this time the parameters remained focuseded at zero for hours, bursting worriedly to the room without thinking about Yue's privacy.

The bedroom was empty with the watch abandoned on the nightstand, explaining why it did not register its data.

A little less tense the hero went out through the rest of the apartment looking for the girl without finding any trace of her. The front door was still locked but the balcony doors were not.

—SHE COULDN'T GET OUT THIS WAY. —He thought as he stood looking down from the penthouse oo the twelve floor building.

Returning back to the living room he noticed an oversized blue gem drop shaped where the Eternal Pose should be.

He picked up the jewel resting on the living room recognizing it instantly… It was the main piece that formerly adorned the buyao worn by the young woman the day they met.

Toshinori held the gem tightly, understanding that "Oka-sama" had fulfilled her promise.

Translating it just made me realize how everything is linked from the very beginning, so I will underline detailes that will be of importance later on.

Fixed?: It was mentioned in the comments that I have problem with grammar, thank you for that by the way. I hope I have corrected most of it.

As you know, English is not my native language and I may have used erroneous terms due to translation error. If I have used them continuously, please let me know so I don't repeat them. Thank you ^o^
