Theo: “Sup, Apotheosis is home!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DwESAC5Ba
The boy was happy to be back, enough to announce it when he opened the door to the hideout. What he didn’t expect-
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt2CLHlgEZ
Theo: “Wait, who are they?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXJVvjq33J
In addition to the people he expected, there was a cute blonde schoolgirl and some scarred man.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklG5xKX6Rz
Kurogiri: “Welcome back, Apotheosis. Meet our latest recruits, Toga Himiko and Dabi.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyc41TQ5R9
The girl was the first to approach him with an unnerving smile.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd42L9ihC9
Toga: “So you’re the strategist Tomura told us about. Are you a fan of Stainy too?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm2reSByz9
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wrevQNSu7
Theo: “Seriously? This is the best we could find?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWSduk7bat
Toga: “Hey!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKpIaDryy2
She says with a cute pout, but Theo could see right through it. This girl is crazy.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh8l7xrSiS
Azrael: “They came to us; be nice.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTnZ5yjk6y
Theo: “Fiiine. No, I’m not a fan. Not anymore. Happy?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eWPwKqfc1
Toga: “Awww.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFva0efEcyQ
Dabi: “I’m surprised you let another child in.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9x4zCS1EF
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUnJRNAXgE
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.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NHFB3QmGZ
Tomura: “You weren’t gone that long, strategist.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hqMfkdkg0
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.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPyaff8mvO
Kurogiri: “Are you sure?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQKp7vraf6
Theo: “Yeah, I promised.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu2GVpSfxY
Tomura: “About time.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U0njUghK1
Toga: “Oh, can we come?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGvhmSU1nV
As the trio was about to step into the portal, Toga hopped toward them with a smile.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4NyRWgkp0
Theo: “Sorry, senior members only.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoIROVajg5
Tomura: “Kurogiri, keep them in check while we’re gone.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVHhui6pQR
Kurogiri: “Of course.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXP35bVPJ8
Azrael: “Don’t start a fight, Kota. They are allies.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3oDN3NVEu
Kota: “Tch, fine.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL5ybqAv7U
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡselm5d0p9j
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAmbKY5PMp
Azrael: “Impressive.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8mPUS6Rqr
Tomura: “So what is this secret project you’ve been working on?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9pq0XIDbp
Theo took a breath and turned to his… close acquaintances.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMYeXlm2o6
Theo: “Only Sensei knows about this, so I hope you understand how much I… trust you two. I wouldn’t be doing this otherwise.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz6a2eeg3Q
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRpUReQwNt
Basically, turning fiction into non-fiction through the power of science. The response, though, was surprising.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRDgdPSQCJ
Tomura: “Is that it?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqJFBNW3kG
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!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3foajekJx
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?
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8ko0eLBIc
The answer became clear quickly. The three weren’t always so close.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgjgNM8Uml
Azrael: “You were worried that we were going to steal your work?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEZSObNn7e
Theo: “… Well… I was. At first.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY0qkICmXk
Tomura: “Hah? As long as you use it to help kill All Might, I don’t care.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsut6WJYL0q
Azrael: “And I have no use for it.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o45Y5vm5P
Theo: “Yeah, yeah. We know how powerful you are. Clearly, you find godhood beneath you.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O7RjxNdhV
Azrael: “Exactly.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFL34SGJz3
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UkVQxR6zS
Theo: “I bet you’ll feel different when I create a stone.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Pat1R2YMR
Azrael: “You have the required components?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw06CfxWDM
Theo: “That trip to I-Island was… something. I’ll tell you about the rest later; Sensei needs to hear it too.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCtgcRYvkb
Instantly, the two tensed at that. Something serious must have happened if Sensei needs to be informed.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUVl2j5Rv1
Theo: “But serious talks for later; for now, watch as I make history.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFrsvyIGoC
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZp7mXa7xh
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju1m07zPsI
Theo: ‘Please work.’
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nruGyM03n
This was the moment of truth. Theo stepped back, standing beside Azrael and Tomura as the Forge roared and bellowed steam.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuHjcilPWI
Azrael: “Is it supposed to smoke like that?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIGSReasSg
Theo: “Yes.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9uu5XJqa3
Sparks burst from every vent.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojZLYMfIsW
Tomura: “You’re not trying to kill us, are you?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdSxqJFhnn
Theo: “No, trust the process.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1zr66jWpQ
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3e18CG7lH
Azrael shielded his friends with his golden air shield, but the lab wasn’t so lucky.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdI5J4xt13
Theo: “Son of a-”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldLD36fOkJ
Azrael: “Make history, huh?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JcDAkAd8T
Tomura: “Strategist… ”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkUFQjOkli
Just then a sound echoed across the smoke, a signal of success.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9qg8vMDdd
Theo: “Ha!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ83dKuTWE
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4al48OTEi1
Giving it a turn, he removed the top half and was captivated by the blue light.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgfx6pVT6b
Tomura: “Is that it?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt9wRuVekb
Theo: “Yes, the space stone. So many powerful and useful quirks went into this precious jewel. It worked! IT WORKED!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uiWQ51ECr
Azrael: “All it took was a destroyed lab and a possible citywide blackout.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwzELEbml8
Theo: “A worthy sacrifice, and this is just the first of six.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdMfK5yBve
Tomura: “If it’s so powerful, then it should help you do this.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8hXhkqiSb
The villain leader gave a paper to Theo, which detailed a planned villain attack. Theo looked at Tomura with a raised eyebrow.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b8njyh78x
Theo: “You did this?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcYFZ4BFZ7
Azrael: “I helped.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oJLwzQkjZ
Theo: “Really? I guess you were doing something productive while I was gone. But weren’t you mad at Azrael, Tomura?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2jb4bHoMx
Azrael: “We came to an agreement about our ideals after we took a walk outside.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3vCZtgUx4
Theo: “You didn’t kill anyone, did you? We don’t need that kind of heat right now.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPWrWqdGsm
Azrael: “Well, he almost turned our recruits into dust after they gushed, in their own way, over Stain.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHhjp2O4yH
Tomura: “I still don’t like them.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFUfZuowkx
Theo: “Same.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMw8t3gnKX
Azrael: “They’ll grow on you with time. For now, how about we focus on this?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3fosLZVJ3
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN00grUuiwO
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.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz5mfF9ce2
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.
