Theo: “Sup, Apotheosis is home!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1WoV46uwF
The boy was happy to be back, enough to announce it when he opened the door to the hideout. What he didn’t expect-
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgruCtiwGC
Theo: “Wait, who are they?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3l38MyGbD
In addition to the people he expected, there was a cute blonde schoolgirl and some scarred man.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt6zev1uwq
Kurogiri: “Welcome back, Apotheosis. Meet our latest recruits, Toga Himiko and Dabi.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ogQ1J0iTZ
The girl was the first to approach him with an unnerving smile.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQrb5qrsoW
Toga: “So you’re the strategist Tomura told us about. Are you a fan of Stainy too?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p2uT3Ijy5
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQk6DWt5ih
Theo: “Seriously? This is the best we could find?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRorxln8Njz
Toga: “Hey!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpetypWqyQ
She says with a cute pout, but Theo could see right through it. This girl is crazy.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdVm9vhUH0
Azrael: “They came to us; be nice.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIBvImn1Ji
Theo: “Fiiine. No, I’m not a fan. Not anymore. Happy?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjILnajGJVq
Toga: “Awww.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7zRwRhKUD
Dabi: “I’m surprised you let another child in.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfHlpvxx4E
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjC86pAy3c
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.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vaObV53rE
Tomura: “You weren’t gone that long, strategist.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtACV0jKMAZ
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.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U6cCTimKH
Kurogiri: “Are you sure?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU9qvt1daT
Theo: “Yeah, I promised.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mlvUdTXCt
Tomura: “About time.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wUAXHhHqd
Toga: “Oh, can we come?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwVEY2Hltd
As the trio was about to step into the portal, Toga hopped toward them with a smile.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXhUSstDyf
Theo: “Sorry, senior members only.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC54y9zgeiu
Tomura: “Kurogiri, keep them in check while we’re gone.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2FXfiuupO
Kurogiri: “Of course.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdbqu5OOTf
Azrael: “Don’t start a fight, Kota. They are allies.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9ZotR9Nhy
Kota: “Tch, fine.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls6YojhqC0
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ykuo6yyHI
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJj0fRMHKV
Azrael: “Impressive.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIfKoMszI3
Tomura: “So what is this secret project you’ve been working on?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUK2NCERVx
Theo took a breath and turned to his… close acquaintances.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz6AIRXiHL
Theo: “Only Sensei knows about this, so I hope you understand how much I… trust you two. I wouldn’t be doing this otherwise.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPFLwouFLX
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEv2sF4l36
Basically, turning fiction into non-fiction through the power of science. The response, though, was surprising.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYC3Ll7RRe
Tomura: “Is that it?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHziEFfAST
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!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK0yW50Ex0
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?
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k5n9DesTl
The answer became clear quickly. The three weren’t always so close.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk12GGcKtN
Azrael: “You were worried that we were going to steal your work?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkxXkhcbO4
Theo: “… Well… I was. At first.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXUrhoGE4f
Tomura: “Hah? As long as you use it to help kill All Might, I don’t care.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN8u1AyCox
Azrael: “And I have no use for it.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7vxsL99iG
Theo: “Yeah, yeah. We know how powerful you are. Clearly, you find godhood beneath you.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwWMiKyA3o
Azrael: “Exactly.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemqGeV8xsD
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P7P8wEdKI
Theo: “I bet you’ll feel different when I create a stone.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X3C9AqwYS
Azrael: “You have the required components?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Vbk9KHz3K
Theo: “That trip to I-Island was… something. I’ll tell you about the rest later; Sensei needs to hear it too.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcwXcYi6kS
Instantly, the two tensed at that. Something serious must have happened if Sensei needs to be informed.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7fevDiTvJ
Theo: “But serious talks for later; for now, watch as I make history.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtGi6GlTck
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHysU0otom
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxNHDQUuWk
Theo: ‘Please work.’
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlYoP3bAge
This was the moment of truth. Theo stepped back, standing beside Azrael and Tomura as the Forge roared and bellowed steam.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4I5t0JWOT
Azrael: “Is it supposed to smoke like that?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixZryHYfdR
Theo: “Yes.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z1YH6epsn
Sparks burst from every vent.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJFhrXEMey
Tomura: “You’re not trying to kill us, are you?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjY4PTYvnF
Theo: “No, trust the process.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdpHc0G8sB
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2xBm4I7vS
Azrael shielded his friends with his golden air shield, but the lab wasn’t so lucky.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pxiSUlQvT
Theo: “Son of a-”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArFgDEpIc8
Azrael: “Make history, huh?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcQrv5UCq0
Tomura: “Strategist… ”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1Atm33ubk
Just then a sound echoed across the smoke, a signal of success.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaOS22jOyC
Theo: “Ha!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX45Ld6PoGE
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55p3hKpEsk
Giving it a turn, he removed the top half and was captivated by the blue light.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMXnX3MKWq
Tomura: “Is that it?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcvKrcNwcW
Theo: “Yes, the space stone. So many powerful and useful quirks went into this precious jewel. It worked! IT WORKED!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOE1bWbKb6
Azrael: “All it took was a destroyed lab and a possible citywide blackout.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlYyODNXNA
Theo: “A worthy sacrifice, and this is just the first of six.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkbMXvT6zT
Tomura: “If it’s so powerful, then it should help you do this.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF3inGzqhr
The villain leader gave a paper to Theo, which detailed a planned villain attack. Theo looked at Tomura with a raised eyebrow.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCH9TsLodM
Theo: “You did this?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH9MpYE7YH
Azrael: “I helped.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj5Xwaog1T
Theo: “Really? I guess you were doing something productive while I was gone. But weren’t you mad at Azrael, Tomura?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfva7STHTKG
Azrael: “We came to an agreement about our ideals after we took a walk outside.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRlYM4vQJK
Theo: “You didn’t kill anyone, did you? We don’t need that kind of heat right now.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN7wSH5ecu
Azrael: “Well, he almost turned our recruits into dust after they gushed, in their own way, over Stain.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvntFMJ7Wax
Tomura: “I still don’t like them.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb236FZ5AcK
Theo: “Same.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6SkKG7t2n
Azrael: “They’ll grow on you with time. For now, how about we focus on this?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6uvwUwDvg
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggmnSc9fvS
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.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONpRSV0G8q
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.
