Chapter 72.
Cruise ship full of villains.
- "And here we have it... Aomori."- Yamikumo said pointing to the city in the distance.
- "Finally!"- Dabi said.
- "Let's not let our guard down yet, there are heroes in Aomori, we must be cautious."- Yamikumo said.
- "Being stealthy is my specialty."- Toga said.
- "The next cruise leaves in a couple of hours, if we hurry and be cautious we will catch it."- Yamikumo said.
- "And how will we enter the cruise?"- Dabi asked.
- "During our way here I have investigated and the cruise ship that leaves is not at maximum capacity, we can sneak into an empty room and take the opportunity to rest and take a bath."- Yamikumo said.
- "That sounds really good."- Toga said. – "I could use a bath... and a change of clothes."-
- "Same here."- Dabi said.
- "Alright, let's move."- Yamikumo said.
Without wasting time, the trio heads to Aomori. Once in the city, they take advantage of the alleys and little-traveled places to move without being detected, however, something catches their attention during their tour of the city.
- "Something's wrong..."- Yamikumo said.
- "What's going on?"- Dabi asked.
- "The heroes... I haven't seen any..."- Yamikumo said. – "Which is very strange... Aomori, being a port city, has several heroes patrolling to prevent the entry of illegal things along the coast."-
- "So... why haven't we seen any heroes?"- Toga asked.
- "Exactly, that's what I mean... something is happening..."- Yamikumo said. – "Could it be that they somehow found out about Tomura's plans?"-
- "Well... that benefits us, doesn't it?"- Dabi said. – "We can move more freely."-
- "I agree… Alright, at full speed!" - Yamikumo said and the three of them go out to the main avenue and at full speed head towards the port, although people look at them strangely, none of them do anything thinking that they are simply strange people.
After a couple of minutes the trio finally arrives at the port where in the distance there is a cruise ship about to set sail.
- "The boat! It's about to leave!"- Dabi said.
- "Not without us!"- Yamikumo said and then used his telekinesis to make himself fly as well as Toga and Dabi. – "Get ready!"-
Using his Telekinesis, Yamikumo makes him, Toga, and Dabi fly towards the ship, managing to land in a place out of public view, so as not to attract attention, just in time for the ship to finish boarding and begin to set sail.
- "Just in time."- Dabi said.
- "Now what?"- Toga asked.
- "Let's find an empty room and settle there."- Yamikumo said.
The trio begins their search, using their stealth skills to avoid being spotted until finally finding a room with no suitcases and no people inside, indicating that it is vacant.
The trio lands on the balcony of the room, the room is luxury with everything included, two double beds, a bathroom with shower and bathtub, a television, mini fridge with drinks as well as a balcony with sea views. - "We have arrived."- Yamikumo said while using his telekinesis to unlock the balcony door and then open it.
- "I love it, I really love it!"- Toga said getting excited about the room. – "Finally something good out of all this!"-
- "Huh…"- Dabi said. – "This is nice."-
- "I must admit that I didn't think we would be lucky enough to find an empty luxury room..."- Yamikumo said as he goes to the door and uses his telekinesis to unlock it and allow it to be opened without the electronic key. – "With this we can easily enter and exit."-
- "Great... and now what?"- Dabi asked.
- "Do whatever you want, just try not to draw too much attention to yourself."- Yamikumo said as he opens the door and leaves the room. – "I'll take a walk around there to relax a little."-
- "Sure, have fun."- Dabi said and then looked at Toga. – "And what will you do?"-
- "Taking a shower!"- Toga said. – "You better not look or I'll kill you."-
- "I'm not a pervert."- Dabi said. – "Still... would you wear the same clothes? Or how will you do it?"-
Toga thinks for a few seconds and then smiles. - "I have an idea..."- Toga said. – "Would you like to go on a search with me?"-
Dabi raises an eyebrow.

…
Yamikumo walks calmly through the corridors of the cruise ship, however people stare at him strangely, but mainly they stare at his face. – "It must be because of my scars..."- Yamikumo thought while adjusting his hair, which has grown quite a bit since he left UA, so that his locks cover his right eye and his scars.
Yamikumo arrives at the food area where he sits at one of the tables to rest for a moment. – "And now what will I do?" – He thought. – "When I'm done Hiro and resolve that matter... should I return to UA? Or should I just follow my own path?"- At that his stomach growls. – "Well... I can think about that when my stomach is full." –
Yamikumo goes to a stand that sells hamburgers. – "Hello... could I have a double meat hamburger combo, soda and fries?"- He asked.
- "Of course, do you have your passenger card?"- The cashier asked.
- "Um…"- Yamikumo said and then saw how a person put his passenger card in his pocket, using his telekinesis he managed to take it without anyone noticing. – "It's right here."-
- "Very good, I take your order, in a few minutes we will bring it to your table."- The cashier said.
- "Thanks…"- Yamikumo said and then sat down again, a few minutes later his food arrived. – "Yes... this is good."- He thought as he took the first bite of his burger. – "We will be here for approximately three days... I guess it doesn't hurt to enjoy it, it's a good way to rest and regain energy after a long trip of months..."-
…
…
…
Meanwhile, Dabi is lying on one of the beds in the room, his idea is to take a shower, but Toga beat him to it and now he has to wait for her. – "At least we will have a few days to rest... my legs hurt... and my back... and my head... and life in general."- Dabi is brought out of his thoughts when he hears the bathroom door open. – "You finally finished... did you..."- A light blush appears on Dabi's cheeks as he sees Toga emerge from the bathroom with nothing but a towel covering her body.
- "What's going on? See something you like?"- Toga teased.
- "Please… as if."- Dabi said as he gets out of bed and walks into the bathroom.
This only made Toga's smile grow. - "He was blushing"- She thought.
…
…
…
After finishing eating Yamikumo returns to the room, it is a good time to take a shower, however, when he enters the room, he freezes when he sees the scene in front of him.
Dabi and Toga are here, that's normal, the strange thing is that they are wearing different clothes than the ones they arrived with, Toga is wearing jean shorts, a long-sleeved shirt and pink tennis shoes, for her part Toya is wearing a white tank top and black pants and boots.
However, that takes a backseat when seeing the situation in which the two are.
Toga is lying face up on the bed while Dabi is on top of her. – "Give it back."- Dabi said.
- "Make me!"- Toga said.
At that point the two notice the arrival of Yamikumo who just stares at them. – "I see I'm interrupting something... I'll come later, try not to make too much noise."- He said.
At that moment they both realize the position they are. – "It's not what it looks like!"- They both said in unison and with blushes in their faces.
- "Right…"- Yamikumo said. – "Anyway, where the hell did they get those clothes from?"-
- "We stole them from other passengers!"- Toga said. – "We went searching and grabbed some suitcases!"-
- "We even brought some for you, in case you like to wash your clothes." – Dabi said.
Yamikumo looks at the table and sure enough, there is a set of clothes on it, the set is a red t-shirt, black pants, and dark green boots. - "Honestly... I can't complain, thank you."- Yamikumo said. – "Did you wash your clothes?"-
- "Yes, taking advantage of the fact that we are here."- Dabi said pointing to the bathroom where you can see his and Toga's villain suits drying.
- "I guess it's a good idea..."- Yamikumo said and then handed the passenger card to Dabi. – "I'll take a bath, if you want to eat something, take this with you."-
- "Great, any orders you want to give us?"- Dabi asked.
- "Do whatever you want, just don't do crazy things."- Yamikumo said. – "Take advantage of these days to have fun and relax."-
- "Yeah!"- Toga celebrated.
- "Cool."- Dabi said. – "Come on, let's grab something to eat and then we'll see what we do."-
- "Just… don't kill anyone, okay?"- Yamikumo said.
- "Yeah, Yeah…"- Dabi said. – "Don't attract attention, we are just ordinary people enjoying their vacations."-
- "Come on! I want to see everything that's here!"- Toga said while pulling Dabi by the arm.
- "Yeah, Yeah… Stop pulling me!"- Dabi said.
Yamikumo just watches as Dabi and Toga leave the room. – "Those two have a tension between them..."- He said to himself. – "Whatever, it's not my business." –
…
…
…
The days have passed and the trio does nothing but enjoy the trip, they are one day away from finally arriving in Hokkaido.
The trip has been an experience for both Dabi and Toga, for Dabi it has been a long time since he felt relaxed and calm, while for Toga it is the first time she can have so much fun.
For his part, Yamikumo, like Dabi, can afford to relax and not be alert and on guard all the time.
In the mornings the three of you take the opportunity to relax on the boat, in the afternoons everyone goes to do what they want, Toga spends his time from one place to another on the boat as well as mainly in the pool, Yamikumo simply sunbathes as well as He takes advantage of the time to resume reading his books that he hasn't read in a long time, lastly, Dabi spends most of his time on the balcony of the room watching the sea and sometimes he goes to the casino where he usually spends his time playing poker, interestingly he almost always wins his games.
At bedtime, Toga is usually the first to sleep, completely taking over one of the two beds, leaving Dabi and Yamikumo to share the second bed.
At this moment, the three of them are in the room, Yamikumo is lying on one of the beds while reading a book, meanwhile, Dabi is sitting on the other bed while looking at Toga who has a pair of swimsuits in her hands, one red and one blue.
- "Which one do you think is better? This one?"- Toga asked Dabi while showing him the red swimsuit and then showing him the blue one. – "Or this one?"-
- "Why are you asking me that? Also, where did you get them from?"- Dabi asked.
- "I stole them from the ship's swimsuit store, they didn't even suspect my presence." – Toga said. – "Now answer! Red or blue?"-
- "Whoever you want, it doesn't matter to me."- Dabi said. – "Although the blue one looks better on you."-
- "Thanks!"- Toga said. – "And what do you think, Atanagi?"-
Yamikumo looks up from his book to look at both Dabi and Toga. - "I think you should both kiss once and for all to end all this nonsense."- Yamikumo said making both blush.
- "Shut up idiot!"- Dabi said. – "As if I were going to have feelings for that crazy woman!"-
- "Please! As if I was going to like this bitter guy!"- Toga said.
- "Yes, of course... there is a tension between the two of you, as if when I am going to leave you alone you will throw yourself at each other."- Yamikumo said. - "The blush on your faces doesn't help either, you know?"-
- "Shut up!"- They both said.
- "It's too easy to tease you."- Yamikumo said. – "But seriously, if you want privacy, I'll give it to you."-
- "Shut up!" – Toga said. – "I'm going to the pool for a while..."-
Not wanting to be teased any longer, Toga leaves the room. – "Why do you have to say so many stupid things?"- Dabi asked Yamikumo. – "Me liking her? No way!"-
- "Suuure…"- Yamikumo said. – "That's what you say... but as a viewer I notice things that you don't want to notice."-
- "Stop talking..."- Dabi said.
- "I must say, Toga is not ugly at all, yes, her personality is somewhat... eccentric, but if there is no blood involved you can tell that she is someone nice."- Yamikumo said.
- "Enough! I'm going to the casino!"- Dabi said as he gets up and heads to the door. – "If I keep listening to your nonsense I'm going to throw up!"-
Yamikumo simply watches Dabi leave the room. - "I don't know... it's kind of fun."- He said to himself before resuming his reading.
…
…
…
- "Me and the crazy girl... yeah sure."- Dabi thought sarcastically as he entered the casino. – "With my lifestyle, having a relationship would be a bad idea."-
Dabi sits at the Poker table. – "So it's time to play poker, huh?" - Yamikumo said sitting next to him.
- "Are you coming to bother me?"- Dabi asked.
- "I admit it's fun... but no."- Yamikumo said. – "Let's play some rounds."-
- "Alright."- Dabi said.
Yamikumo and Dabi start playing a few rounds of poker, winning some and losing the others, soon other people joined the game.
- "Hey... on a serious note, really tell me what's between you and Toga."- Yamikumo said. – "This time I won't make fun or anything."-
Dabi sighs as he raises the stakes in the poker. - "I don't know... I guess there is something but..."- Dabi said. – "I don't know if it's the right thing to do, you know? She is 16 almost 17 and I am 23 almost 24."-
Yamikumo smiles to himself, he finally got the truth out of this guy.- "The way I see it, it doesn't matter, it's not like you two follow the laws."- He said while raising the stakes. – "Also, if she is 16 almost 17, just one more year and a few months and she will be 18, I don't see any problem."-
- "I guess you're right... still... I don't know."- Dabi said. – "I'm going All In!"-
- "Well... I don't know if we'll get out of this alive so... if not now we don't know when you'll get another chance."- Yamikumo said. – "All in too."-
- "I still have many things to do... my lifestyle doesn't allow me to have relationships."- Dabi said. – "By the way… Three of Aces."-
- "I won't be the one to tell you what to do... but time is running out." – Yamikumo said. – "By the way… Royal flush."-
- "What?!" – Dabi said.
- "I'll be taking all this, thank you."- Yamikumo said while taking the bet chips.
- "You son of a…"- Dabi said. – "I'm out of here."-
- "Don't be a sore loser!"- Yamikumo said.
- "It's not about being a bad loser... it's just that I'm bored with so much poker."- Dabi said before leaving the casino.
Yamikumo shakes his head, takes the chips he won in poker and goes to exchange them. - "I'm very good at these things." - Yamikumo said while handing over the tokens to exchange them for money, that's when he notices a necklace in the sales section of the casino.
The necklace is simple, but what caught your attention was the red mushroom-shaped pendant. – "And what about that necklace?"- He asked.
- "Oh... it's from a pre-Quirk era video game, Super Dario Cousins or something lake that."- The cashier said. – "You want it?"-
- "Sure, deduct it from what I earned." – Yamikumo said.
The cashier nods and hands the necklace to Yamikumo along with the money he won. - " Here you go."- He said.
- "Thanks."- Yamikumo said as he takes the necklace and the money and then leaves the casino, all the while looking at the necklace that reminds him of Kinoko. – "What would she be doing now? If I return will she forgive me?"- He thought wistfully. – "Well...what's done is done, I can only hope that she forgives me."- Yamikumo wraps the necklace around his left wrist. – "Maybe I'll get her something nice."-
…
…
…
The day passes and the ship finally reaches its destination, Hokkaido, in the port city of Hokadote. - *Attention all passengers, we have arrived at our destination.* - The captain said.
- "It seems we have arrived."- Dabi said.
- "That's right... very good, it's time to change and get out of here."- Yamikumo said.
The three take their villain suits and put them on so that later, when the ship arrived at the port, Yamikumo used his telekinesis and, in the same way they sneaked onto the ship, they got out.
- "It was a good trip, I enjoyed it!"- Toga said.
- "I agree, if I die in the fight, at least I could enjoy this."- Dabi said.
- "Nobody is going to die here; we will all get out of this alive."- Yamikumo said. – "The three of us have things pending, so we can't die."-
- "Right!" – Toga said.
- "That optimism of yours... but you're right."- Dabi said. – "Alright! Let's go!"-
With no time left, the trio continues on their way.
Unlike the first months, this trip was calmer and shorter, the time the three spent on the boat, as well as all the things the three spent together have brought them together.
Yamikumo no longer sees Dabi and Toga as simple villains, he now sees them as people with the possibility of redemption, he could even consider them as friends if that happens.
Toga appreciates the two boys very much, beyond her own definition of affection and love, she really feels Yamikumo and Dabi as people close to her, especially Dabi, every time she is with him she feels special.
Lastly, Dabi must admit that being in Yamikumo and Toga's presence is nice, as long as Yamikumo isn't bothering him with his feelings for the girl and Toga isn't doing weird things, other than that he really considers the two of them as nice people, even friends, but he's not going to tell them that.
The rest of the trip was pleasant, the three talked about their things with each other, laughed, got upset, among other things that made their bonds stronger.
And after a week of traveling they finally made it; they have reached their destination.
- "Here we are, Daisetsuzan National Park."- Yamikumo said. – "I just hope that Nagant and Stain are already here or are about to arrive."-
- "I can't wait to get this all over with."- Dabi said.
The trio enters the park and in the distance, hidden among the trees, there is a building which is camouflaged with the vegetation.
- "There it is, Hiro's new base of operations."- Yamikumo said.
- "Attention, we have people."- Dabi said.
The trio looks towards where a sports car is parked, leaning against it is Lady Nagant.
Nagant notices the presence of the trio, smiles and approaches. - "You finally arrived."- She said.
– "How long have you been waiting?"- Yamikumo asked.
- "Just a couple of hours."- Nagant said while shaking hands with Yamikumo.
– "Sniper Lady."- Dabi said. – "I never thought I'd say this but, it's good to see you again."-
- "And you are?"- Nagant asked.
- "It's Dabi, the boy with blue fire, but without scars."- Toga said. – "Good to see you again!"-
- "Himiko Toga, I see you somewhat changed."- Nagant said. – "But without a doubt the one who changed the most was you, Dabi."-
- "A lot of things have happened in the last two years since we saw each other."- Dabi said.
- "I can see that." - Nagant said.
- "Nagant."- Yamikumo said. – "Where is he?"-
Lady Nagant does not say anything and only points behind her, Stain is on the roof of the car looking towards the building.
Yamikumo smiles and approaches Stain. - "Hey what's up?"- He said.
Stain turns to look at Yamikumo. - "Kid, you finally arrive." – Stain said. – "New suit? You look good."-
- "I needed something different than my hero suit." – Yamikumo said. – "I'm glad to see you were able to join us."-
- "It wasn't by choice, but it will be fun."- Stain said.
– "By the way, there are a couple of people who want to meet you."- Yamikumo said as he steps aside letting Stain see Dabi and Toga, who are looking at him nervously.
- "A girl and a guy."- Stain said. – "And you are?"-
- "I don't believe my eyes... Stain, Stain himself is in front of me."- Dabi said.
- "This is great! The hero killer himself is in front of me! I'm meeting Stain!"- Toga said.
- "What's up with them?" – Stain asked Yamikumo.
- "They are very big fans of you."- Yamikumo said. – "They are faithful believers of your will and ideals."-
- "Is that so?"- Stain asked.
- "Hello! I'm Himiko Toga! This world is very difficult to live in, I want a world where it is easier to live! Where people don't look down on people for not falling within the rules of society!" – Toga said.
- "I'm Dabi."- Dabi said. – "I guess I want to create a world where I can be at peace."-
- "I don't know... the boy doesn't seem to have a great motivation and the girl is somewhat childish and immature."- Stain said.
- "Yes, it seems that way at first glance, but they really are very interesting and skilled people."- Yamikumo said.
- "If you say so, I guess it's fine."- Stain said. – "Dabi and Himiko Toga... I hope you live up to expectations."-
- "Stain said my name!"- Toga said while shaking Dabi excitedly.
- "I know, mine too."- Dabi said.
- "Focus! Now is not the time to lose focus, Dabi, Toga, you guys come with me."- Yamikumo said. – "Stain, Lady Nagant, you follow us and cover our backs from the shadows." –
- "Alrgiht."- Lady Nagant said.
- "Let's get this over with."- Stain said.
- "Dabi, Toga, come on."- Yamikumo said and the trio advance towards the door of the building. – "Let's get this over with!"-
Yamikumo destroys the doors with a burst of fire and the trio enters the building, inside the building there is a very large space where there is almost nothing, on the walls there is a double door and on the upper wall there is a window that occupies the entire wall.
- "Stay sharp."- Yamikumo said.
A light turns on behind the window and behind it is who they are looking for, Hiro. – "Yamikumo Atanagi, Himiko Toga, Dabi, welcome, it's so horrible to see you again."- He said.
- "We can say the same, son of a b*tch."- Dabi said.
- "Stop being a coward and face us face to face!"- Toga said.
- "I would, but that's why I have them."- At the moment Hiro said that three people land in front of the trio.
The first is a man whom Yamikumo recognized, said person has a Cheeta appearance, he wears an elegant white suit with a jacket over his shoulders with a gold ornament on the left shoulder.
- "Cheetah! He's alive!"- Yamikumo thought.
The second person is a woman with white hair and red eyes, she wears an elegant white dress with a jacket on her shoulders which has a gold ornament on the left shoulder.
- "I don't know her..."- Yamikumo thought before focusing on the third guy. – "And finally we have him…"-
The third person is an acquaintance of the three, Alpha, who does not wear his normal clothes, he dresses the same as Cheetah, except that in his jacket he has two gold ornaments, one on the left shoulder and one on the right, indicating his status as leader of the gold guard.
- "Same as always, you use your lackeys to fight your fights, you haven't changed at all."- Yamikumo said.
- "Why get my hands dirty if I can have people do it for me?"- Hiro said. – "I guess you already guessed it, but I present to you my gold guard."-
- "Gold, silver and bronze... how original."- Yamikumo said. – "Only three? I'm surprised you don't have more people, did you run out of resources?" –
- "In fact, I don't have the same resources as before... but I'm not stupid either, I won't make the same mistakes as last time!"- Hiro said. – "I'll use the numerical advantage!"-
Suddenly two more people appear behind the trio and attack Dabi and Toga, but luckily they are stopped by Stian and Lady Nagant.
- "We also have our aces up our sleeves." – Yamikumo said.
The two guys who attacked quickly join the rest of their gold guard teammates.
The first is a man neither recognizes but the second is someone that Yamikumo and, especially Dabi and Toga, recognized.
- "Spinner?!"- Dabi said. – "The hell are you doing siding with him?!"-
- "Your appearance changed, but it's easy to recognize you, Dabi, you have the same look as Endeavor."- The lizard man said.
- "Why did you join him? He's a psychopath!"- Toga asked.
- "He promised me revenge against the one who humiliated me multiple times."- Spinner said.
- "I knew you were pathetic, a simple Stain imitator."- Yamikumo said. – "Who by the way is on our side."-
- "My imitator?"- Stain asked.
- "Long story."- Yamikumo said.
- "Stain! No… the real Stain would never have joined you!"- Spinner said. – "You are a fraud!"-
- "I guess he's so crazy that he can't think properly... he finally lost his mind."- Dabi said.
- "The time for talking is over... this is your end."- Alpha said as she positions herself in front of Yamikumo, the white haired girl positions herself in front of Dabi, Cheetah in front of Toga, Spinner in front of Stain and the unknown man in front of Lady Nagant.
- "No... this is your end, Hiro!"- Yamikumo said. – "This is where you will pay for everything you have done! And we will make sure that this time you don't come back!"-
- "How fun... anyway..."- Hiro said as he sits in the armchair in front of the window. – "Gold guard, just as we planned... finish them off!" –
- "Alright, this is the decisive moment"- Yamikumo said. – "It's time to put an end to all this!"-
Both teams stare at each other and then charge at each other.
The fight has begun.
…
…
…
To be continued.
So yeah. Here we are.
Another chapter finished and yeah.
As mentioned, this chapter was relaxed and chill, but the next one, now, the chaos will begin!
We have surprises on the gold guard team, Spinner and Cheetah make an unexpected return.
We have two new original characters, the unknown man and the white-haired woman.
And obviously we have Alpha and Hiro.
The fights have started and the matches have been decided, even so I will confirm them, the fights will be:
Lady Nagant against the unknown man.
Stain against Spinner.
Himiko Toga against Cheetah.
Dabi against the white-haired woman.
And, the main course, Yamikumo against Alpha!
Each confrontation has its meaning which will be seen during the fights.
Some are obvious and others will be revealed later.
But that's not all, apart from the golden guard there is also Hiro who, believe me, is not like he used to be before.
I have several things planned for the fights and there will be some revelations that of them you won't expect.
Well nothing, the next chapter we start with the action.
As always feel free to leave any comment, review, suggestion, or question about the story, of course always with respect.
Leave your comments about the story, if you like it or not, that also helps me to improve my writing.
So yeah. That's all for now.
Bye Bye.
