3 Days After The Battle of Kamino
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtWZCWNAtB
The angel returns to the waking world and finds himself staring into a dark ceiling.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZFyMPsO3A
Azrael: ‘I’m alive… ’
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU3JCT8bDe
A familiar feeling of disappointment echoes in his head before he can smother it. Getting up, he looks around to see a dingy square room with a single open door.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS2n2QBxEq
Azrael: ‘A new hideout, I suppose. All For One must have-’
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREQMeaReSb
Dabi: “Seems like you’re awake.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaddefpn1i6
Emerging out of the darkness outside the door was the scarred man within their little league.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyeGHtL8zE
Dabi: “Had to be on my shift. Well, I better ask how you’re doing.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lvfqb4CR0
Azrael: “Physically, fine but weaker. I pushed myself too far. Mentally… I… lost. I failed sensei and he had to save me.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCzdj9Ru2g
Dabi: “We all lost. Don’t go beating yourself over nothing.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4OylqnToc
The angel’s eyes widen as she slowly turns to his comrade.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tvkEyVFAA
Azrael: “We? What do you mean? I sent you all to All For One, and he-”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqfpfDKwaf
Dabi: “No. The big boss lost too.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPAS9679QF
The man didn’t let Azrael breathe and didn’t sugarcoat anything. Explaining exactly what happened and where they are now. The League of Villains are now stationed in one of their many safe houses around the country.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeGoYeV2QD
It’s much further than the original and far away from the heroes they’re supposed to be fighting. In return though, it’s much more spacious. Almost like a villain dorm.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPiBvOlJqI
That fact doesn’t change anything for Azrael, though.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKTdNrQOL4
Azrael: “All For One… lost? Sensei… in jail?”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwT7IjQ96L
The man trembles as tears threaten to spill from the utter impact of the news.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXNW7jzUPT
Dabi: “Don’t go crying. That will not change anything. Even the other two knew that.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAUrtwRIzE
Azrael: “Theo? Tomura? Are they alright?”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDHmnyPAxO
Dabi: “Yes. The kid has been working himself to death in his lab while the boss is making plans.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DgSotKZFk
Azrael: “… I see. I assume we are to lay low for a while and build our forces?”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUdOnDmzNr
Dabi: “That’s the plan. Now, I did my job. When you are ready, you can eat down below.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHSj0YCB0K
With that, the man left Azrael to his grief and anger. Feelings he knows all too well.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7UefDttgd
Looking at his hands, the angel lets a single tear fall. Not one more shall fall. Dabi is right that nothing will change. Still, the thought remained.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxYUj1HRPU
Azrael: ‘If I didn’t play with my food and instantly killed those pros, could I have helped sensei? Is… this my fault?’
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iIKlfVQjT
Balling his fists, he can only accept it as truth. When he does, he can move forward and focus on vengeance. Anything less would be a disgrace.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SHQwykkXa
So the man got out of the bed, redressed himself with the business attire left for him on the chair, and went down. The base was truly a downgrade from before, not a complete dump, but more like the underside of a boiler room.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5Q7QW0pqH
Pipes line the walls, and red light was the main source of illumination. The layout, though, was nice. It was a dorm system with several rooms converted into personal, but temporary, homes for the members. The center was an open space that could be used as a living room.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrS6RM6qlE
Arriving in said place, Azrael was welcomed by Spinner and Compress. They’re sitting down at a rectangular table, seemingly waiting for food to arrive.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFBvqbLcTi
Spinner: “Look who decided to wake up. Some of us were worried you weren’t going to make it.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSBvkbGvBZ
Azrael: “Don’t be. If I am to die, it won’t be by some hero.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb8vFPcOHF
He says while taking a seat at the table.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgG94syEw5
Compress: “You woke up at a good time; food should be here soon.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS76I7sDB1n
Azrael: “Take-out, again?”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr3msDUd1w
Compress: “Of course, and of a lower quality due to the location. Can’t afford teleportation at the moment unless absolutely necessary.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKjqa6zJ3d
Azrael: “A wise choice. Will anyone else be joining us? Like Kota, for example.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h9P1Fp3cV
Spinner: “Ah, about that… the kid isn’t with us.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIzDKm523Z
Taking a slow breath, the angel went through the possibilities. Only one seemed likely.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IwBNBmx1X
Azrael: “I assume one of the heroes took him in.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mTnFlEaeP
Spinner: “Yeah, at least it was his family and not a prison. Though I’m sure many would prefer that despite him being a kid and all.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdTvgeXY3K
Azrael: “I see… ”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmOXRmYfcf
Compress: “As for the others, they do come down from time to time. Mustard, for example, is currently releasing his poison outside. In a way that doesn’t reveal our location.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVC9BIJ8LT
Spinner: “Plan on getting Kota back?”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpsPK8xms2
Azrael: “… I’ll run it by Tomura first.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6s272kLEP
It was then that the opening of a door was heard. From around the corner came Magne, Mustard, and Toga.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKESh5ntNS
Toga: “Tada! Lunch has arrived!”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWUdVsdZhm
Magne: “And it seems Azrael is awake too.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHVTDefRLV
Azrael: “Hello, you three.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuJDhhppIM
Spinner: “Please, tell me you brought something good this time.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9TMrwDirF
Toga: “Big sis Magne is still pretty noticeable, and I can’t waste too much blood. So… ”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9p6vRlv1G
Azrael: “Ah… ”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYmZwvj5Es
Protein bars, bread, water, and jolly ranchers. Not much of a meal.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzEBIscmB3
Compress: “I said Mustard should be the one to go out. No one knows his face.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzmJFPxOhA
Mustard: “You first.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBkBNy0QK7
Azrael: “You don’t have to keep your mask on here, you know.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHn1eHaTSJ
Mustard: “I prefer it on, thanks.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETwCeWxnKa
Spinner: “Eating alone again?”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxgiinFu49
Mustard: “Yeah, later.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0kBxrxSc0
The boy takes a single protein bar and heads up to his room. In return, Twice, Dabi, and Tomura came down.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u4fQy2LlL
Twice: “Whoa, is that a five-star meal I see!”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiyiMSi6zM
Toga: “You’re just saying that.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pZhyseMps
Twice: “No way, I always tell the truth. I’m a compulsive liar.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJGERY5gGY
Spinner: “It’s better than last time.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44knMFpLHj
As the others start taking the little share they are allowed, Tomura walks toward Azrael.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPw8zzA5mJ
Tomura: “You’re awake.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa2QvoZeQL
Azrael: “I am, and I… heard about what happened.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt80fd9dMW
Tomura: “… Don’t worry about it. This changes nothing. Eat and get your strength up.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUZI6aTLcF
Smiling, the angel removes his mask and takes a single loaf of bread.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm86ETCrrW
While they eat in a comfortable silence, a blue portal opens up beside the table.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI75FF241d8
Twice: “Can he not do that all the time? Pretty lights, love it!”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYeTWdJ5Vm
From the portal steps out an exhausted and yawning Theo.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHIE8731sU
Theo: “I swear Giran drives me crazy. I know villain activity has increased, but that doesn’t mean I have to be the one to equip them all. The pay isn’t even that-”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbrTiJnYvK
The boy’s eyes widen when he sees Azrael awake. Immediately, the boy tackles him with a bone-crushing hug.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9nJjkmbyA
Theo: “You’re awake! I thought you-”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5riBEH5tWd
Opening his eyes, he realizes that he is reminding everyone of his true age. Getting off and coughing, Theo returns to his adult demeanor.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJCdUyBjKZ
Theo: “I knew you would be alright; welcome back.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvwAWNRlBC
Azrael: “I’m glad to see you too, Theo. I’m not happy to see bags under your eyes, though.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nTSRFvnSN
Theo: “Blame Giran. Ever since… you know, monetary support has been scarce. So it’s up to me to keep the lights on.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1oDh70sfa
Twice: “Yet we’re still eating gruel. Thanks for the food, good sir. Still 5-star!”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z49ah785x
Theo: “You’re welcome. And add onto my work with the next stone, school, and my undercover activities, and sleep is a distant dream.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh87pmtk75j
Tomura: “If we’re going to accomplish our goals, we need you at your best. Take a break.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDZNKxirgK
Theo: “I’m fine. Besides, I’m sure you’ll change your mind when I show you this!”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uZz1cjtHR
He opens a portal and brings out an actual 5-star meal. Quickly, he sits down an assortment of chicken, rice, eggs, and noodles.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk2DeM282s
Toga: “Whoa!”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz6lsR4XsI
Spinner: “Finally, some meat!”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7paxd4zi1
Theo: “Yes, you may now refer to me as the strategist and the provider of goods. Long, I know. Anyway, I’ll get Mustard. He’s even younger than me and so needs it the most.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda72rVfODn
Azrael: ‘A fact you refuse to let him forget.’
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz3Ojvud7s
Tomura: “Wait.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCELy2hhSj2
Theo: “Yeah?”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fk4c3rUQ3
Tomura: “Where did you get this? Thought you were too busy, and Giran doesn’t offer such generous commissions.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9bayUyZ8f
Theo: “Of course I stole it when a restaurant was in the crosshairs of a minor villain attack.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7p7GJHXU1
Compress: “A poor stage, but well done.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0d1XC4yWy
Theo: “Thanks.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUygbUL6hUd
Tomura: “I won’t reject the food. But you’re putting us at risk; knock it off.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCW4Qx93Y5
Theo: “What do you-”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShbm4qttFw
Tomura: “We’re supposed to be laying low for now. Doing something like that will only make it more likely for a hero to sniff us out.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKiktNIMKu
Theo: “Come on, no one knows my real face. My undercover persona hasn’t been leaked. If anyone should be getting food and supplies, it’s me.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdGJctuG40
Tomura: “Strategist… ”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllbrRQpXd9
Sensing that Tomura was serious about this, the boy relented.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDrKDu05f5
Theo: “Fine, all the bare necessities. No more risky theft.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZQ6aGazWP
Compress: “Oh, but that is the best kind. But I understand our leader’s hesitance to put you at more risk. You already have a lot on your plate.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWU9W8wMdL
Theo: “I suppose… at least we can enjoy the meal.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWNE5rTnol
Azrael: “Actually, I can’t.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvX8zCJxye
The group looks at Azrael, who has yet to take part in the new meal.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ky54skNmh
Tomura: “And why is that?”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxI9clPdBv
Azrael: “… Forgive me, but… I want to visit Sensei.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4CeYNeoQg
Silence enough to hear even a pen drop consumes the table. Until Spinner broke it.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvBnPhFcT9
Spinner: “Are you crazy!? Do you know where he is?!”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdYbn0kSku
Toga: “The same place they took Mr. Stainy.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenMg8S4NdO
Compress: “As much as I would like to say I broke into Tartarus, I’m afraid that is far beyond our abilities.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03MjzZjgby
Tomura: “Azrael… explain.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu7Ne5yS2h
Azrael: “… I just… I didn’t get to say goodbye.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3wt5HXRvF
Theo: “You think you’re the only one! I was knocked out by some little girl before his fight with All Might even happened!”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB4beoo9d7
Twice: “Technically, she’s older than you. Shhh, not now, idiot.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAODQRy3VCd
Theo: “Honestly, that makes it worse. Add that onto the fact my family helped bring him down, and I… I feel sick to my stomach.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRubTU8lVU
With that, any joy that was blooming in the group was brought down.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQo7CzEbHa
Tomura: “Even if we wanted one more moment with him, we can’t draw attention to ourselves.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYTKQMtqKx
Azrael: “We won’t have to. I can teleport in.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE1E0Gh5iC
Theo: “Cameras.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIXWiIlQXa
Azrael: “You’re smart enough to create us a window of opportunity.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gzJOMrpum
Theo: “… Damn it, you’re lucky flattery works on me. It’s not impossible, I suppose.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2os0plBR0R
Compress: “And what about the quirk suppressors?”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHe4n1693q
Azrael: “I’ll be weakened, but it can’t fully turn off my quirk. Even if it’s a copy.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0uiOEqHKD
After a moment, and failing to suppress his own desire for one last meeting, even if by proxy, Tomura agrees.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWmV0hPGy5
Tomura: “We can’t break him out. Too risky.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4OOAn8ufp
Azrael: “I know. Just a simple talk.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kNFwqctha
Tomura: “… Fine.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbPEtMYu1w
Compress: “Interesting, we’re actually breaking into the famous Tartarus. Shame we can’t tell anyone about our task. It would be one worthy of the history books.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvYufVXUrH
Theo: “Yeah, well, it will take a few days to create something that could scramble the systems for a few minutes.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ99dv2LrY
Twice: “Seriously, kid, how smart are you!? Are you sure you don’t have a quirk? Rude question.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtHbeiqqN6
Theo: “You’re right, that is rude. But I forgive you because you acknowledge my genius.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpkVlzNqQx
Dabi: “Can we eat now?”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY747vmztLp
Spinner: “Surprised you waited.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94QibNSZ53
Dabi: “I prefer to eat in silence.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1xuZMBMZW
Theo: “So edgy.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBsegmqlEd
After a light chuckle among the more lighthearted members, the group ate the best meal they’ve had in a long while.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJEk2wCr5W
10 Days After The Battle of Kamino
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KWNu1WnzR
It was simpler than they thought it would be. Teleporters are exceedingly rare, and so defenses against such things are still rudimentary.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7wKoQGC00
As for the cameras and sensors, it took longer than Theo thought, but he did create a device to feed false data into them. Ready, the plan was set and executed without much issue.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdcTLs5WJA
Kurogiri opened a small portal behind All For One, and Theo tossed the device inside, and it activated within three seconds. Next, Azrael used his own portal to walk into All For One’s cell.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02j3q9VNmA
This way, if they can trace unique portal or spatial distortion signatures, they’ll get two different ones. Once inside, Azrael levitated an inch off the ground so he wouldn’t leave a trace.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgoxKxXdVB
Sensing him, All For One spoke first.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5YCRDCwuy
All For One: “It would seem I underestimated you. I assumed this would be a place you three couldn’t reach.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiAWDzggTE
Azrael: “Theo made a way. But I only have around seven minutes.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIzwbW3xxD
All For One: “Plenty of time to make an escape. But I hope that is not what you plan.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV09bmt03t
Azrael: “No, it would be too risky and draw too many eyes.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79Ojvlqc9n
All For One: “Good. Tomura has grown well.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IGnPLI8ZT
Azrael: “Indeed. He didn’t even want me coming, but I… insisted.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBRmbCjxam
All For One: “Unexpected, I must say. I assumed Apotheosis would be the one to be the most emotional. But it was you.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ia8S1hJIb
Azrael: “Forgive me for my… weakness. But I… had to see you one more time. I may not make it before… my body gives out.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDDUZbHoAg
All For One: “I’m afraid any plan to break me out once Tomura is complete will be in vain. They plan to execute me in a month.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw9XSY6VIh
Azrael: “… What?”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PuOPXVQAb
All For One: “Not publicly, of course. The Public Safety Commission still wants a clean image. No, I will simply die from my injuries.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9Q1spDRM5
It took all the man had to not lose his composure from the news. It was already bad enough seeing his sensei in such a broken state, but now this? No matter how he tries, he can’t stop his eyes from watering once more. Another reason to hate his failure.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj9Fm0kV64
Azrael: “Sensei, I-”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyxJoOVym5
All For One: “There is no time for apologies. What’s done is done. It is time for you three to stand on your own.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4kVnuSUTM
Azrael: “… Yes, sensei.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwdL4n6BmS
All For One: “Good. Let’s not waste time on such things. Did the other two leave a message? I assume they did.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7eLsgueoL
Azrael: “Yes, but it’s short. Tomura simply promises to achieve the goal that you’ve guided him towards all this time. For you not to worry about him, that he will continue to grow. Theo promises to break you out when he can and to place All Might in here in your place.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJsfqfYWBW
All For One: “Ha! That would be an interesting sight to see. A shame he’ll have to break that promise. I’m proud of you all.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vnRot0C17
Azrael: “Sensei… ”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFCbFmiJZI
All For One: “That is why I want to leave one last gift. In this prison are three individuals who will greatly aid you and will share in your vision.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3J0PuXXd8
Azrael: “What? But how can I without drawing attention? I might as well free you.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbpg1bIpbS
All For One: “Breaking me out will be too much trouble, but those three will draw little attention. At least from the media and general heroes. I’m confident the Commission will bury the loss and send agents of their own to figure out what happened. I trust you’ll deal with them if they do find you.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBOB4NR80N
Azrael: “Of course. Tell me their names and locations.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSy6D7O2gX
And so he did; all three are people used and abused by the society the League intends to bring down. With the information received, it was time to say goodbye. The last one.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokiLnxxmUD
Turning away, the angel takes a breath and opens a portal. But not before saying words that leave even All For One stunned.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLQgYHqhqq
Azrael: “Goodbye, Father.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4ERpqMfeD
And with that, he was gone to recruit All For One’s last gift. For said man, he recovered quickly and smiled.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjLq0W7jH4
All For One: “Father… huh… ”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVrWMjb0bG
His mind flashes back to when the three of them gifted him the helmet.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoke9vhcEAg
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pzldTyLHy
All For One: “What is this?”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcEkFF2zxe
The three of them stand before their father, who is sitting in his life-support chair, looking down at a gift box. After a second, he opened it to reveal a metal mask that resembled a crude skull with tubes attached to the back.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhKrFGvFI8
Theo: “It’s a special helmet we made.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DL2vqwUAV
Tomura: “I thought of it.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk5sfqvk9l
Azrael: “I designed it.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARaA1RtZNP
Theo: “And I, of course, built it. Basically, it’s like a portable life support machine you can wear. Should last around an hour or so, depending on what quirks you use.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANnKMZ7KOr
Azrael: “So don’t overdo it.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD8h2rVqps
All For One: “I should be the one giving you three gifts.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNWRAS5GHO
An unknown feeling begins to swell within his chest as he looks into the mask. The result were words he rarely spoke to anyone.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoFevLsJ1V
All For One: “Thank you.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT4lcSCGlF
Theo responded with a bright smile. Azrael’s eyes did the smiling. While Tomura simply looked away, but the man could tell he was happy due to how his heart skipped a beat.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImUN0rF3c7
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbwEq4Kiyg
All For One: “I see now.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q2WChwMWj
He cared for them.
