3 Days After The Battle of Kamino
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOdSsN7aYb
The angel returns to the waking world and finds himself staring into a dark ceiling.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMqcnDWYD3
Azrael: ‘I’m alive… ’
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbcvPecRXF
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg9XZQf2lR
Azrael: ‘A new hideout, I suppose. All For One must have-’
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwTpaw7pnk
Dabi: “Seems like you’re awake.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGAGFmkUcP
Emerging out of the darkness outside the door was the scarred man within their little league.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38U02nz4MS
Dabi: “Had to be on my shift. Well, I better ask how you’re doing.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oEqGVtShs
Azrael: “Physically, fine but weaker. I pushed myself too far. Mentally… I… lost. I failed sensei and he had to save me.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrD6boT5hC
Dabi: “We all lost. Don’t go beating yourself over nothing.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYD3RdRAt9
The angel’s eyes widen as she slowly turns to his comrade.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIP4jZrkfF
Azrael: “We? What do you mean? I sent you all to All For One, and he-”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrf50y6CNw
Dabi: “No. The big boss lost too.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMChbER8RRh
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQUNt76ltV
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtj3Gl4h4v
That fact doesn’t change anything for Azrael, though.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHbvc5QnMe
Azrael: “All For One… lost? Sensei… in jail?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsdQZOqz7n
The man trembles as tears threaten to spill from the utter impact of the news.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WskdpDa1a
Dabi: “Don’t go crying. That will not change anything. Even the other two knew that.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdsYQ0ujzb
Azrael: “Theo? Tomura? Are they alright?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdapqRnCcpJ
Dabi: “Yes. The kid has been working himself to death in his lab while the boss is making plans.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1MGxGQtdA
Azrael: “… I see. I assume we are to lay low for a while and build our forces?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vdWkZingC
Dabi: “That’s the plan. Now, I did my job. When you are ready, you can eat down below.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLkjaxtt0q
With that, the man left Azrael to his grief and anger. Feelings he knows all too well.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhL4qAX4mk
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U3mACz9XQ
Azrael: ‘If I didn’t play with my food and instantly killed those pros, could I have helped sensei? Is… this my fault?’
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q8AywQYCt
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW3hE9JG4C
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAKr57HJ3p
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahX3SK7fRY
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvQN3wEvD4
Spinner: “Look who decided to wake up. Some of us were worried you weren’t going to make it.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxybWDKkYBL
Azrael: “Don’t be. If I am to die, it won’t be by some hero.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP4Xf5Y6SC
He says while taking a seat at the table.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLojXd9Jyk
Compress: “You woke up at a good time; food should be here soon.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV95RBWRaP
Azrael: “Take-out, again?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevsvnm8fQi
Compress: “Of course, and of a lower quality due to the location. Can’t afford teleportation at the moment unless absolutely necessary.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU8ftEWtvk
Azrael: “A wise choice. Will anyone else be joining us? Like Kota, for example.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZzyjlhSGb
Spinner: “Ah, about that… the kid isn’t with us.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsCmR2l9EG
Taking a slow breath, the angel went through the possibilities. Only one seemed likely.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVksauAaIu
Azrael: “I assume one of the heroes took him in.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2xi329CxU
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZWdmnyJBo
Azrael: “I see… ”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAXenCwrUU
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiTKJf9iuB
Spinner: “Plan on getting Kota back?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7sEH0OtiX
Azrael: “… I’ll run it by Tomura first.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzY6bs7X00
It was then that the opening of a door was heard. From around the corner came Magne, Mustard, and Toga.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C9FwHjn4U
Toga: “Tada! Lunch has arrived!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCidu3qpNAt
Magne: “And it seems Azrael is awake too.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGk6rfVbdH
Azrael: “Hello, you three.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeufN7HWrQG
Spinner: “Please, tell me you brought something good this time.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNJSrJ7175
Toga: “Big sis Magne is still pretty noticeable, and I can’t waste too much blood. So… ”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy8oaQ2igG
Azrael: “Ah… ”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauZHrMRpuy
Protein bars, bread, water, and jolly ranchers. Not much of a meal.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2HBTkShj2
Compress: “I said Mustard should be the one to go out. No one knows his face.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeEXvl47Jb
Mustard: “You first.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gTRvAK4bR
Azrael: “You don’t have to keep your mask on here, you know.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZNaBiYKgL
Mustard: “I prefer it on, thanks.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55k001wxZr
Spinner: “Eating alone again?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO3UWfkBFC
Mustard: “Yeah, later.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWt0OrFedt
The boy takes a single protein bar and heads up to his room. In return, Twice, Dabi, and Tomura came down.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV8iaoRn28
Twice: “Whoa, is that a five-star meal I see!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIDPdQmkwC
Toga: “You’re just saying that.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUxkbhyQn9
Twice: “No way, I always tell the truth. I’m a compulsive liar.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP7gIISOgm
Spinner: “It’s better than last time.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Eq1rYeFup
As the others start taking the little share they are allowed, Tomura walks toward Azrael.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX9OGHFN3F
Tomura: “You’re awake.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbplKL5SAE
Azrael: “I am, and I… heard about what happened.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVY23laskb
Tomura: “… Don’t worry about it. This changes nothing. Eat and get your strength up.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTIGajmrOC
Smiling, the angel removes his mask and takes a single loaf of bread.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuhzgOrzWH
While they eat in a comfortable silence, a blue portal opens up beside the table.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR4MhnasvS
Twice: “Can he not do that all the time? Pretty lights, love it!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhQWbjvysn
From the portal steps out an exhausted and yawning Theo.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cawN6n1BZ
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-”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yIVY6p91k
The boy’s eyes widen when he sees Azrael awake. Immediately, the boy tackles him with a bone-crushing hug.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNm4U1wuVs
Theo: “You’re awake! I thought you-”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK65FcgATEy
Opening his eyes, he realizes that he is reminding everyone of his true age. Getting off and coughing, Theo returns to his adult demeanor.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ6OOKSvRc
Theo: “I knew you would be alright; welcome back.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO3uW3138W
Azrael: “I’m glad to see you too, Theo. I’m not happy to see bags under your eyes, though.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgtSzKl1CA
Theo: “Blame Giran. Ever since… you know, monetary support has been scarce. So it’s up to me to keep the lights on.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49yw4plKRF
Twice: “Yet we’re still eating gruel. Thanks for the food, good sir. Still 5-star!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYljYe2twNU
Theo: “You’re welcome. And add onto my work with the next stone, school, and my undercover activities, and sleep is a distant dream.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQugMbOHDh
Tomura: “If we’re going to accomplish our goals, we need you at your best. Take a break.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0hJItVWi3
Theo: “I’m fine. Besides, I’m sure you’ll change your mind when I show you this!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZarxSbAF0e
He opens a portal and brings out an actual 5-star meal. Quickly, he sits down an assortment of chicken, rice, eggs, and noodles.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWts2oLkfgB
Toga: “Whoa!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehFXgH87GS
Spinner: “Finally, some meat!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxVadjNzog
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UrAOnlsmH
Azrael: ‘A fact you refuse to let him forget.’
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLH52UHA5K
Tomura: “Wait.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT5hCbSatg
Theo: “Yeah?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw98GM5Nze
Tomura: “Where did you get this? Thought you were too busy, and Giran doesn’t offer such generous commissions.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW6bMQRoC1
Theo: “Of course I stole it when a restaurant was in the crosshairs of a minor villain attack.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna6OKvviqs
Compress: “A poor stage, but well done.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXgMbYLzvT
Theo: “Thanks.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF9wJ7nVU5
Tomura: “I won’t reject the food. But you’re putting us at risk; knock it off.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ysrNkO2Gt
Theo: “What do you-”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJOQpsgtID
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUiT67lfsk
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WQ57NJeIK
Tomura: “Strategist… ”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43w8KPkSoS
Sensing that Tomura was serious about this, the boy relented.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s5IrsPaya
Theo: “Fine, all the bare necessities. No more risky theft.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvOPuT5sE6
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUot9oWI55
Theo: “I suppose… at least we can enjoy the meal.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZZgPsQm6t
Azrael: “Actually, I can’t.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsoXW4TYrP
The group looks at Azrael, who has yet to take part in the new meal.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpZTbLIqsM
Tomura: “And why is that?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5yMWbo142
Azrael: “… Forgive me, but… I want to visit Sensei.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vRr0cQ3GU
Silence enough to hear even a pen drop consumes the table. Until Spinner broke it.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7qKstvKut
Spinner: “Are you crazy!? Do you know where he is?!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoVPhUU7QP
Toga: “The same place they took Mr. Stainy.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOk6gMk5vu
Compress: “As much as I would like to say I broke into Tartarus, I’m afraid that is far beyond our abilities.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluqaJoI6nf
Tomura: “Azrael… explain.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89SRnthxae
Azrael: “… I just… I didn’t get to say goodbye.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RsXeAUCwc
Theo: “You think you’re the only one! I was knocked out by some little girl before his fight with All Might even happened!”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWawE4vAPr
Twice: “Technically, she’s older than you. Shhh, not now, idiot.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAugMzNS5Ia
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRa2x3aLQC
With that, any joy that was blooming in the group was brought down.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZnlFHko9p
Tomura: “Even if we wanted one more moment with him, we can’t draw attention to ourselves.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SEnKbNeD2
Azrael: “We won’t have to. I can teleport in.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzXjH9oxpg
Theo: “Cameras.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNclFoU6Lb
Azrael: “You’re smart enough to create us a window of opportunity.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHQpnDnxUD
Theo: “… Damn it, you’re lucky flattery works on me. It’s not impossible, I suppose.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPiBOQ7Axa
Compress: “And what about the quirk suppressors?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNoVdB3mdj
Azrael: “I’ll be weakened, but it can’t fully turn off my quirk. Even if it’s a copy.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Du1463RXA
After a moment, and failing to suppress his own desire for one last meeting, even if by proxy, Tomura agrees.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M1T6AY01L
Tomura: “We can’t break him out. Too risky.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2bT51gvX5
Azrael: “I know. Just a simple talk.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7vytcWvSN
Tomura: “… Fine.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W68AbDJ6f
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKAKnyDCXI
Theo: “Yeah, well, it will take a few days to create something that could scramble the systems for a few minutes.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktDwt7NLn0
Twice: “Seriously, kid, how smart are you!? Are you sure you don’t have a quirk? Rude question.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrsgHaPiKW
Theo: “You’re right, that is rude. But I forgive you because you acknowledge my genius.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E9XwskaGY
Dabi: “Can we eat now?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueF2mfItbN
Spinner: “Surprised you waited.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcedfdcU1Ho
Dabi: “I prefer to eat in silence.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpassj6AcWe
Theo: “So edgy.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZDH2VpASf
After a light chuckle among the more lighthearted members, the group ate the best meal they’ve had in a long while.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPHDy3PSaD
10 Days After The Battle of Kamino
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcx80yp99t
It was simpler than they thought it would be. Teleporters are exceedingly rare, and so defenses against such things are still rudimentary.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm3Lwu3N5o
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v58r2JpcU
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHe5ofgfoD
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7UaMPbAOP
Sensing him, All For One spoke first.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTleflhle4
All For One: “It would seem I underestimated you. I assumed this would be a place you three couldn’t reach.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RdWBRcsaA
Azrael: “Theo made a way. But I only have around seven minutes.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeoodUFvCa
All For One: “Plenty of time to make an escape. But I hope that is not what you plan.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM7OXAPVzN
Azrael: “No, it would be too risky and draw too many eyes.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDSmEQRzhT
All For One: “Good. Tomura has grown well.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjpgYFqhNj
Azrael: “Indeed. He didn’t even want me coming, but I… insisted.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxrgztrJmd
All For One: “Unexpected, I must say. I assumed Apotheosis would be the one to be the most emotional. But it was you.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Eiy4JqI4P
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdOqH8kkGp
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKFL3GQJib
Azrael: “… What?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vbFTNFeI9
All For One: “Not publicly, of course. The Public Safety Commission still wants a clean image. No, I will simply die from my injuries.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIBlEMYdAs
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGF19TN5Jl
Azrael: “Sensei, I-”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI4piSPRgz
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fBPqLvMQT
Azrael: “… Yes, sensei.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YKd4v57KR
All For One: “Good. Let’s not waste time on such things. Did the other two leave a message? I assume they did.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGp6Pe1Cct
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b8kTueYvv
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76hXocgFod
Azrael: “Sensei… ”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeBrz99VOx
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCDJyrg6rJ
Azrael: “What? But how can I without drawing attention? I might as well free you.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApPZjoPR0I
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikxbVzi3uo
Azrael: “Of course. Tell me their names and locations.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIqGDT0aLJ
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfSe5Dr3Ct
Turning away, the angel takes a breath and opens a portal. But not before saying words that leave even All For One stunned.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsEzmZ1SLz
Azrael: “Goodbye, Father.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAGT4hdsYZ
And with that, he was gone to recruit All For One’s last gift. For said man, he recovered quickly and smiled.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX2rQFXCK6
All For One: “Father… huh… ”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF49Aq1lcdw
His mind flashes back to when the three of them gifted him the helmet.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPC76kM9Yw
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdni6qHhxCx
All For One: “What is this?”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dmD38stR6
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOtDKEllLg
Theo: “It’s a special helmet we made.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyGaMCBBDQ
Tomura: “I thought of it.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre1eiDdNp5
Azrael: “I designed it.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzFKAU9nN2
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.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFqmIJQjy2
Azrael: “So don’t overdo it.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MN4rSAa9N
All For One: “I should be the one giving you three gifts.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXfX0dc97A
An unknown feeling begins to swell within his chest as he looks into the mask. The result were words he rarely spoke to anyone.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMSOo6fwQD
All For One: “Thank you.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i6LsOqSID
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.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZSEZUOeo2
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfqMGMYq4W
All For One: “I see now.”
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmixkXREhO
He cared for them.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG0QXxGTsZ
At first, they were simply a means to an end. In fact, the original plan was to steal Tomura’s body after escaping.
