A/N:Sorry for the postings as of late. I didn't realize the updates i sent therough my phone were mixed up. I'm using a laptop now so I'm hoping the errors won't repeat itself. Oh and two new chapters as well. I also did some editing.

OUTBREAK ARC

"Huh? You want us to come with you?" Sanemi looks up at All Might halting his sword cleaning. The rest of the Hashiras followed suit locking their gazes to the symbol of peace's lanky form. Frankly speaking from All Might's perspective, Some of the Hashiras appear intimidating, however, getting used to their presence did the trick and he knew they meant no harm. They did have the same goals after all.

"Is it an emergency?" Mitsuri began worriedly, her eyes darting across the room till the man pacified her.

"It is nothing of that sort, Miss Kanroji." All Might smiled waving his hands to calm the Love Hashira. His face straightens as he continues ""It's more of a discussion about recent demon activity . Before your group arrived, Demons have been rampant. Fortunately, Young Kamado and the others have been dealing with them. The lack of demon appearance began from your arrival, That was until recently. I believe you heard of the disappearance of a woman last week while returning from her work place."

Shinobu nods her gaze drifting to the TV then facing All Might "We have. Just this morning. This happened at night if the story you are bringing up correlates with the one from the news."

"Yes, You are right. My detective friend of mine has a hunch that this could be the work of a villain or—"

"It's a demon. Definitely has to be a demon." Sanemi cut him off. "You heroes wouldn't resort to us so soon if it were a villain. no leads in your investigations huh? figures that might be the case why." He slithes his sword back in its sheath and sat down on the nearest chair. "So is this what the meeting is about?"

"That summarizes it" The retired blonde said picking up his vibrating phone from his pocket "Seems like Principal Nezu is waiting for us. I'll escort you to the building."

"Building?" Muichiro tilts his head sitted next to Gyomei. The Hashiras have been residing in the 1-A dormitories for a long time. Going outside to them in this world was foreign. Now that they think about it, they don't go outside much do they? The unfamilarity of this world would be problematic as most of them wouldn't hesitate to off a villain exuding threatening auras.

"U.A high school."

The wind picks up as it transitions to All Might and The Hashiras standing in front of the school building. Muichiro wonders where the wind came from all of a sudden but not bothered enough to question it as All Might's voice snaps him back to reality as he leads them into the school.

Walking into the school, felt like stepping into a whole new environment. All Might waving to some students that curiously cast glances their way before going back to their fellow activities. Students from the support course were in their workshops while the Business course students took full advantage of the situation to 'advertise' themselves to the Hashiras. Fortunately, All Might stepped in dismissing them from what he could tell, they didn't like being pestered so much. The look on Muichiro's face was enough to tell him to deal with it.

Poor All Might, how much sass could a kid have.

Finally, arriving in front of the conference room entrance. All Might looks at the Hashiras to ascertain their expressions and if anything they were serious. That checks it out.

Muichiro's gaze immediately met the beady eyes of Principal Nezu, who was facing them. He recognized the hobo looking man with the capture weapon, the blonde man and dark blue haired woman matched the descriptions of whom Tanjirou spoke about too once they arrived to shop. The others...he would probably forget them.

"I see you are here. Thanks for coming on such short notice" Nezu chirped alleviating the atmosphere and gestures with a paw to the empty seats, "Please have a seat."

No complaints from their group, although seemingly reluctant at first, Sanemi and Iguro yielded as after the rest settled in. Tengen sat next to Mitsuri who sat next Iguro followed by the rest till Gyomei. The Stone Hashira calmly rubbed his beads together ready for the meeting to go underway.

The rodent-like principal, who had been sipping from his teacup, placed it down beside him. His paws joined, beady eyes scanning room followed with him breaking the silence.

"Let's begin. Shall we?" He spoke placing both paws on his chin. All attendants leaned forward in their seats ready to begin.

"These are theHashiras?" Vlad King crosses his arms glancing at each of them in an almost assessing manner.

This is going to be one hell of a ride...Tengen taps his chin, thinking to himself propping his right elbow on the arm rest of the chair on which he sat. "What can I say? we certainly know how to make an entrance."

The afternoon noises of the city hummed in the background far from the hospital walls. Lucas seated steadily on his bed clenched the sheets, looking lost . Tsukauchi entered the room quietly cutting the silence once filling the room "Good to see you awake." He shut the door behind him gently facing the recovered individual as he continues "How are you feeling now?"

"Tsukauchi...I'm alright. Let me guess, you got more questions for me?" Lucas asked, his eyes trailing the Detective's figure who sat down on the available nearby chair. "I know nothing else about those villains or their whereabouts, perhaps still searching for me or have gone their own way."

Tsukauchi shook his head. " Something else. Your quirk or from where you come from, your ability. The ability able to travel across dimensions, worlds. It's a powerful and dangerous one if held by the wrong hand..." He continues making direct eye contact "What I want to know is why you are here in ours? Who are you truly,Lucas?"

Lucas smiled, but the detective noticed that it didn't quite reach his eyes. From what he could tell, Lucas was still cautious of others around him and there were still so many unanswered questions. If someone should ask Tsukauchi right now, he'd respond that he didn't want to deal with the mysteries anymore. He had enough problem in this world, the slayers had theirs brought into his as well and now Lucas with the probability of having it to.

"Who am I?" Lucas spoke almost like it was a profound question. The words rolling from his mouth strangely. "I'm a simple man such as yourself. However, from my world, an anomaly isn't far off."

He is telling the truth... Tsukauchi mentally takes note.

"My world encountered the term of what is defined of as an apocalypse. The single united world government housing a hunter organization under it, supposedly wanted my ability. I won't go deep but a lot of bad things happened. Their reasons and motivations for all of that still puzzles me..."

Tsukauchi listens silently, his eyes goes low seeing Lucas clench the sheets.

"I and a close friend of mine, Catherine were placed into hiding till the Revolution dealt with the hunters. Our last resort was for me to open and stay into a world far away where they won't reach me. For the time to say I was dead and the Revolution won. I couldn't go back earlier due to my ability having a glitch. Only Catherine made it back..."

Glitch? Then it wasn't on purpose. The detective leaned forward, his attention unwavering.

"The time I tried to escape the league a third time, I managed to open another—barely—but my mind was foggy at the time, I concentrated...even when I suspected it wasn't my world. I needed to escape the league."

"Desperation." Tsukauchi spoke folding his arms "you were on the verge of dying from blood loss and also kept being pestered and tortured by the League of Villains till they had their way with you."

Lucas chuckles, slight sadness in his voice " That seems to be the case." He raises his hand glancing at his palm almost recalling the moment " I thought I'd die after I fell off the cliff. Fate doesn't want to stop toying with me any time soon." He paused glancing back to the detective, a bit of edge added to his tone. "Does that answer your question?"

Tsukauchi remained silent for a while studying Lucas who through his question made it clear he didn't want to be sympathized with. He began unfolding his arms. "I see. The situation is already dire. Plan on using your ability again?"

Lucas expression morphed into uncertainty. Going back to his world could potentially cause more problems, staying here would start one as well. Was he just an anomaly who caused nothing but suffering? Was there no place for him? Would staying here be better? if he did then his friend and Catherine won't have to suffer anymore. But, the people here, this world too would perish cause of him, people who were never involved here in the first place, ripping off canon events that were supposed to happen...all because of him.

"Not just saying this for you but for me as well. The glitch you brought up when you tried escaping caused a rift bringing new visitors and their problems here too. Demons and Demon Slayers to be precise." Tsukauchi spoke snapping Lucas out of his thoughts.

"What—?" Lucas asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

Rapid knocks on the door cut the two conversation. The nurse's head peeped in widening slightly at the appearance of another individual already there but nonetheless composed herself the next moment.

"I came to inform Mr. Lucas that he is free of any physical injuries and wounds, Your tests have been analyzed. We'd recommend that you stay a few more days in the hospital before discharge." She elaborates glancing at the file in hand before looking up to meet his gaze. "Your body and mind has been through so much stress, so it's best you take heed and not strain yourself. We'll make sure to keep you updated as well." she briefly concluded then leaves.

Both men gazes linger on the door the nurse closed behind her. The pause almost deafening. Tsukauchi already made a mental note to explain this all to Nezu and All Might. After hearing so much and investigating for a while now, things are beginning to add up even if not fully. "

"I need you to be ready to open another gateway and send our guests back to their home and you can finally go back to your ho_" Tsukauchi momentarily surprised followed by his lips thinned once Lucas gripped his arm.

"I won't do it."

Okay, That's enough.Tsukauchi did not in fact waver. As someone who had a lot of experience in this field, he had been pushed against the wall, grabbed by the collar and threatened right in front of his face.

"That's your plan? To sit down and watch as this world clashes with entities of others?" His eyes narrowed slightly at Lucas' own expression. However, the reply left the detective speechless.

"It's not my problem. This world—your world—was already broken before I got here, you had villains here already. The demons, the villains, all of it... it's not my fault." Lucas' voice cracked as he continues.

Bullshit.

The detective stood abruptly, his chair scraping against the floor. "But itwillbe your fault if you decide to let this continue. You can stop this, You can bring everything back to the way it was. Every single person, both worlds involved in this incident, straying from their pat—"

"I DON'T CARE!" Lucas' scream echoes across the hospital confined room walls. He heaves desperately for air as if there was none while continuing " I don't want to know...do you realize how much I've been through—again...and again and again and AGAIN!"

Shakily as he steadies his breaths " I said this earlier.I'm a simple man.I'm an anomaly—I'm just trying to survive, not like you or your heroes." he sits up now more composed " If it means this world along with its guests burns so my home doesn't, I'm willing to take that chance."

"Even if it means I go down with it."

・・・・・

The dark corners of Tartarus weren't completely silent. One could still decipher what seemed to be a sound of struggling of two individuals. Another completely useless at the moment watch the struggle from afar. A mixture of cries, groans and yells spat between the two continued, till one managed to claim victory.

"Lord Muzan" Nakime strung her ever holding biwa.

"It feels kinda tight in here, don'tcha think?" Mineta fanned himself during class. "anyone suddenly getting chills for some reason?"

" You mean like a bad omen...?" Ojiro frowns not liking where this was headed.

"Next, Chapter 32:Night Investigations." Tokoyami concludes.
