Theo: “Sup, Apotheosis is home!”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9cOfn3dEW
The boy was happy to be back, enough to announce it when he opened the door to the hideout. What he didn’t expect-
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87rt2SF3eO
Theo: “Wait, who are they?”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynob8PxBCl
In addition to the people he expected, there was a cute blonde schoolgirl and some scarred man.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCNTrPHFqw
Kurogiri: “Welcome back, Apotheosis. Meet our latest recruits, Toga Himiko and Dabi.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRM9ZPdcYN
The girl was the first to approach him with an unnerving smile.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDI59iDPVp
Toga: “So you’re the strategist Tomura told us about. Are you a fan of Stainy too?”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbQxRCjvaW
Theo’s eyes twitched and he refused to answer. Instead, he looked at Tomura, who was drinking at the bar stool, and Azrael, who was leaning against a wall.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjxOokTrVi
Theo: “Seriously? This is the best we could find?”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkEZORb5Na
Toga: “Hey!”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJxizckuWl
She says with a cute pout, but Theo could see right through it. This girl is crazy.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fBm0g87N7
Azrael: “They came to us; be nice.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC10hZ0sb0
Theo: “Fiiine. No, I’m not a fan. Not anymore. Happy?”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq9RfNoGka
Toga: “Awww.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyERgmWRxhG
Dabi: “I’m surprised you let another child in.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR80wbDWRfu
Kota growled from his seat on the couch, eager to remind Dabi of his place. But Azrael shook his head, convincing the boy to play nice.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR2gFpU6r7
Theo: “This ‘child’ is the brains of this operation. I bet you guys didn’t do anything major while I was gone aside from picking up strays.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOTfeKq7aP
Tomura: “You weren’t gone that long, strategist.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IcCh7J8zq
Theo: “And my point is proven. Don’t worry, I’m here now, and I have many new plans to share. But first, Kurogiri, open a portal to my lab. It’s time for Tomura and Azrael to learn what I’ve been working on.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3XQ4XmAak
Kurogiri: “Are you sure?”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AJKuaNrwt
Theo: “Yeah, I promised.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHSXwtcEhp
Tomura: “About time.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8alV38OjO
Toga: “Oh, can we come?”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuJRRt4F5B
As the trio was about to step into the portal, Toga hopped toward them with a smile.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhIt9ehHi9
Theo: “Sorry, senior members only.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKarksoIJpX
Tomura: “Kurogiri, keep them in check while we’re gone.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCSCDxmvlY
Kurogiri: “Of course.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIbiEHvLyw
Azrael: “Don’t start a fight, Kota. They are allies.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBNQfeO9Tr
Kota: “Tch, fine.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXaxsrW6jH
With that, the three left and reappeared in Theo’s lab. The sterile white room hummed with the various devices the boy has created or stolen over the months.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDxSHJ4PUV
The most important one, and the most impressive, was his forge. A big spherical-shaped machine with pipes and pistons running along the outside of it.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1U72kz254
Azrael: “Impressive.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT01iTrooJ
Tomura: “So what is this secret project you’ve been working on?”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG95zKHYT9Z
Theo took a breath and turned to his… close acquaintances.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOElJYOdVm
Theo: “Only Sensei knows about this, so I hope you understand how much I… trust you two. I wouldn’t be doing this otherwise.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsirtnWnna
The two didn’t say or show anything, but deep down, the sentiment was appreciated. So Theo explained his project, the Infinity Gauntlet. The ambitious, and somewhat insane, plan to combine the quirk factors of several people to create copies of the infinity stones.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwfUQs2LEY
Basically, turning fiction into non-fiction through the power of science. The response, though, was surprising.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluJGDRTfuD
Tomura: “Is that it?”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEbfIvvOOP
Theo: “What do you mean that’s it!? We’re talking about ultimate power and a scientific breakthrough lesser minds couldn’t even dream of!”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fk5g4RXOg
Azrael took a moment to think. Yes, this was impressive and a level of power possibly beyond even Sensei. But why did Theo feel the need to keep it hidden from them of all people?
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN7j1H8dw8
The answer became clear quickly. The three weren’t always so close.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa9DWi4vRq
Azrael: “You were worried that we were going to steal your work?”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqookSeIhZi
Theo: “… Well… I was. At first.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNMcOHs4ue
Tomura: “Hah? As long as you use it to help kill All Might, I don’t care.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8r5jQcJCp
Azrael: “And I have no use for it.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w65FiQcbk
Theo: “Yeah, yeah. We know how powerful you are. Clearly, you find godhood beneath you.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG83Of8mMDQ
Azrael: “Exactly.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMyZTtpSFv
Theo let a small smile slip by as he accepted the fact these two are truly trustworthy. That they were not going to either call him crazy or steal his work. Relaxed, the boy decided to surprise them further.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQQkrP5p8F
Theo: “I bet you’ll feel different when I create a stone.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LxTyiiHD7
Azrael: “You have the required components?”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilSTz1Cz5M
Theo: “That trip to I-Island was… something. I’ll tell you about the rest later; Sensei needs to hear it too.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gOZYgbMyX
Instantly, the two tensed at that. Something serious must have happened if Sensei needs to be informed.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA8TQphNYI
Theo: “But serious talks for later; for now, watch as I make history.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8QqfhXQsf
The genius went to the forge while removing some vials from his pocket. The most important of these vials was a blood sample from Aoi Nogami, the perfect core for the space stone.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh3fA9cKU7
After adding the sample, hacking into the city’s power grid for the needed power, and keying in the commands, he pressed the button on the control panel to begin the process.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP11tJwfl0
Theo: ‘Please work.’
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXyIoGimef
This was the moment of truth. Theo stepped back, standing beside Azrael and Tomura as the Forge roared and bellowed steam.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMm4wkVJWz
Azrael: “Is it supposed to smoke like that?”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwzi2rNzTk
Theo: “Yes.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC7CrirR60
Sparks burst from every vent.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU5AHRqlGN
Tomura: “You’re not trying to kill us, are you?”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemcQ5wJTID
Theo: “No, trust the process.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMam9ubDO6
Despite saying that, the boy did take several steps back. Seeing this, the other two followed suit. Good thing too, since after five minutes of fire and smoke exploding out the sides, obliterating the mechanism.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBnYtphGXo
Azrael shielded his friends with his golden air shield, but the lab wasn’t so lucky.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpHbMjY75D
Theo: “Son of a-”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUaReAeXqY
Azrael: “Make history, huh?”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo94OqqtdRl
Tomura: “Strategist… ”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd1mwB9uh2
Just then a sound echoed across the smoke, a signal of success.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzqsaBeTrs
Theo: “Ha!”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNAqE3stMZ
The boy dashed towards his destroyed Forge to see the small compartment next to the control panel open. Within sat a small round metal capsule. Sparks rained around Theo as he slowly approached. Reaching out with his now gloved hands, he gently picked up the metal orb.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1ZL1ZkjdB
Giving it a turn, he removed the top half and was captivated by the blue light.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q9QA8HS6n
Tomura: “Is that it?”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEVivjOUvM
Theo: “Yes, the space stone. So many powerful and useful quirks went into this precious jewel. It worked! IT WORKED!”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqHnazPgUQ
Azrael: “All it took was a destroyed lab and a possible citywide blackout.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8jnTMbKqF
Theo: “A worthy sacrifice, and this is just the first of six.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstOQvzHCdW
Tomura: “If it’s so powerful, then it should help you do this.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdbx7AsshP
The villain leader gave a paper to Theo, which detailed a planned villain attack. Theo looked at Tomura with a raised eyebrow.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54i3rjMy4d
Theo: “You did this?”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKP5tbjv4H
Azrael: “I helped.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jyJlzoY2z
Theo: “Really? I guess you were doing something productive while I was gone. But weren’t you mad at Azrael, Tomura?”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gcgc9tPpW
Azrael: “We came to an agreement about our ideals after we took a walk outside.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOk7TuqSpw
Theo: “You didn’t kill anyone, did you? We don’t need that kind of heat right now.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknEBe0CCzw
Azrael: “Well, he almost turned our recruits into dust after they gushed, in their own way, over Stain.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKunYgBTvy3
Tomura: “I still don’t like them.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5If6HuqIi
Theo: “Same.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMuJ4yI2t3
Azrael: “They’ll grow on you with time. For now, how about we focus on this?”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR74Ipa5E0
He points at the paper in Theo’s hand. Refocusing, the boy saw some points that can be strengthened. But overall, it’s a good plan that gives him another chance at some powerful quirks.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vJqsKt04h
Theo: “Gentlemen, we might finally get rid of all our problems if this goes off well. But first, we should talk to Sensei about some recent… developments.”
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOJ2DIZvF1
The two nod as Theo uses his new stone to teleport them to where Sensei is. Along with the stone and his damnable brother’s growth, Theo is sure he can finally surprise All For One with something.
