3 Days After The Battle of Kamino
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJgBRnLYh9
The angel returns to the waking world and finds himself staring into a dark ceiling.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUsz27bdnY
Azrael: ‘I’m alive… ’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvkCHMOwFj
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeva2Ev2yEX
Azrael: ‘A new hideout, I suppose. All For One must have-’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznKWb0D2af
Dabi: “Seems like you’re awake.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBavdOwCz8
Emerging out of the darkness outside the door was the scarred man within their little league.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaba4hbxd7
Dabi: “Had to be on my shift. Well, I better ask how you’re doing.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHwLPcBxZ2
Azrael: “Physically, fine but weaker. I pushed myself too far. Mentally… I… lost. I failed sensei and he had to save me.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMu358dezS
Dabi: “We all lost. Don’t go beating yourself over nothing.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJScp3OaGc
The angel’s eyes widen as she slowly turns to his comrade.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfikVMzeZ76
Azrael: “We? What do you mean? I sent you all to All For One, and he-”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtfwjepqj9
Dabi: “No. The big boss lost too.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLbjR9e5og
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDPKbbdOD4
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtPifbuRQu
That fact doesn’t change anything for Azrael, though.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT9VKTlcmV
Azrael: “All For One… lost? Sensei… in jail?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6e8jTijGY
The man trembles as tears threaten to spill from the utter impact of the news.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VEmOvYhQ6
Dabi: “Don’t go crying. That will not change anything. Even the other two knew that.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGHIihToV2
Azrael: “Theo? Tomura? Are they alright?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ7owwSdee
Dabi: “Yes. The kid has been working himself to death in his lab while the boss is making plans.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OKOJX2rHX
Azrael: “… I see. I assume we are to lay low for a while and build our forces?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg0xNpUrY7
Dabi: “That’s the plan. Now, I did my job. When you are ready, you can eat down below.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E5LdId9Uz
With that, the man left Azrael to his grief and anger. Feelings he knows all too well.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpkEkfpciv
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBilcag4yW
Azrael: ‘If I didn’t play with my food and instantly killed those pros, could I have helped sensei? Is… this my fault?’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EuboG8mIM
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1gs9fweh4
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vW1J3Cyxp
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGcakuUAlJ
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwd8FPPe6Y
Spinner: “Look who decided to wake up. Some of us were worried you weren’t going to make it.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsDjacV6JT
Azrael: “Don’t be. If I am to die, it won’t be by some hero.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Sh1bLBeqS
He says while taking a seat at the table.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9ornnmB1a
Compress: “You woke up at a good time; food should be here soon.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCnfm9YwJ4
Azrael: “Take-out, again?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH2OiIXwLm
Compress: “Of course, and of a lower quality due to the location. Can’t afford teleportation at the moment unless absolutely necessary.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT355ufMCxg
Azrael: “A wise choice. Will anyone else be joining us? Like Kota, for example.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXJLEqOdKt
Spinner: “Ah, about that… the kid isn’t with us.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNCp3RBhrZ
Taking a slow breath, the angel went through the possibilities. Only one seemed likely.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW2WEilRxa
Azrael: “I assume one of the heroes took him in.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5de6E01ep
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kXvk14qGR
Azrael: “I see… ”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV3grsQlSj
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVz24OgQQZ
Spinner: “Plan on getting Kota back?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahA39Yh89m
Azrael: “… I’ll run it by Tomura first.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI3xadYE9O
It was then that the opening of a door was heard. From around the corner came Magne, Mustard, and Toga.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL5YBEA3x2
Toga: “Tada! Lunch has arrived!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuomp8BrYXG
Magne: “And it seems Azrael is awake too.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt32baBSff
Azrael: “Hello, you three.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmKvCM9uzB
Spinner: “Please, tell me you brought something good this time.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4k1YVidoz
Toga: “Big sis Magne is still pretty noticeable, and I can’t waste too much blood. So… ”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gDDVoGWku
Azrael: “Ah… ”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiMXpGZEJI
Protein bars, bread, water, and jolly ranchers. Not much of a meal.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwCt1g9U6B
Compress: “I said Mustard should be the one to go out. No one knows his face.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcGbrXOfh5
Mustard: “You first.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcx7hrnLyP
Azrael: “You don’t have to keep your mask on here, you know.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6SLEYL6AT
Mustard: “I prefer it on, thanks.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU012dRtdW
Spinner: “Eating alone again?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtj4GUdweT
Mustard: “Yeah, later.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8qPtoRUym
The boy takes a single protein bar and heads up to his room. In return, Twice, Dabi, and Tomura came down.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnorAxfTzy
Twice: “Whoa, is that a five-star meal I see!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh71YhUmZ0Z
Toga: “You’re just saying that.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu59jNr5Mel
Twice: “No way, I always tell the truth. I’m a compulsive liar.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZai2kBIdc
Spinner: “It’s better than last time.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4kS9Fblnw
As the others start taking the little share they are allowed, Tomura walks toward Azrael.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPfBqnW6Tw
Tomura: “You’re awake.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45U6FOzjAD
Azrael: “I am, and I… heard about what happened.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLbmZdNXb3
Tomura: “… Don’t worry about it. This changes nothing. Eat and get your strength up.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOlRLl7Y8k
Smiling, the angel removes his mask and takes a single loaf of bread.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ixo4tVggL
While they eat in a comfortable silence, a blue portal opens up beside the table.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF5fb1jlWD
Twice: “Can he not do that all the time? Pretty lights, love it!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0L8jaNjnR
From the portal steps out an exhausted and yawning Theo.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnrDCC7Eg8
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-”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OO8qCibBa
The boy’s eyes widen when he sees Azrael awake. Immediately, the boy tackles him with a bone-crushing hug.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF1EBtBIyz
Theo: “You’re awake! I thought you-”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcPTyA9QrF
Opening his eyes, he realizes that he is reminding everyone of his true age. Getting off and coughing, Theo returns to his adult demeanor.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrxPzg4zJm
Theo: “I knew you would be alright; welcome back.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe4STWovrZ
Azrael: “I’m glad to see you too, Theo. I’m not happy to see bags under your eyes, though.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLN3eRLrR5
Theo: “Blame Giran. Ever since… you know, monetary support has been scarce. So it’s up to me to keep the lights on.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUx2yrSJSB
Twice: “Yet we’re still eating gruel. Thanks for the food, good sir. Still 5-star!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERNf1c8LRa
Theo: “You’re welcome. And add onto my work with the next stone, school, and my undercover activities, and sleep is a distant dream.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7E0a6G7nu
Tomura: “If we’re going to accomplish our goals, we need you at your best. Take a break.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwUV0ZLh9C
Theo: “I’m fine. Besides, I’m sure you’ll change your mind when I show you this!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQtUx0OtAf
He opens a portal and brings out an actual 5-star meal. Quickly, he sits down an assortment of chicken, rice, eggs, and noodles.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEkHlU7gY0
Toga: “Whoa!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyDewQCpuK
Spinner: “Finally, some meat!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nJ9Codrrt
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXguvcX1F54
Azrael: ‘A fact you refuse to let him forget.’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbF5oZ8BMO
Tomura: “Wait.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U8OkyIg1h
Theo: “Yeah?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIs1YfbGzj
Tomura: “Where did you get this? Thought you were too busy, and Giran doesn’t offer such generous commissions.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq2lOHxxCq
Theo: “Of course I stole it when a restaurant was in the crosshairs of a minor villain attack.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFxe4yjwqC
Compress: “A poor stage, but well done.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIw4IRZ04s
Theo: “Thanks.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVVlI1WGln
Tomura: “I won’t reject the food. But you’re putting us at risk; knock it off.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKaq1PQJMH
Theo: “What do you-”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfwKgMXtJ7
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNgy88x17s
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYeFGRaXtf
Tomura: “Strategist… ”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniLq4vDw8g
Sensing that Tomura was serious about this, the boy relented.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQAgyLxRGm
Theo: “Fine, all the bare necessities. No more risky theft.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8dVe14sPz
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4Ra0s78Y3
Theo: “I suppose… at least we can enjoy the meal.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsxzGPmPK5
Azrael: “Actually, I can’t.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hlt06yGtv
The group looks at Azrael, who has yet to take part in the new meal.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PEsPvvVzT
Tomura: “And why is that?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqLAQFbhsI
Azrael: “… Forgive me, but… I want to visit Sensei.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv8ae4gmcS
Silence enough to hear even a pen drop consumes the table. Until Spinner broke it.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0IVF6U8qw
Spinner: “Are you crazy!? Do you know where he is?!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfSZ4xzBeB
Toga: “The same place they took Mr. Stainy.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC0VED7A6d
Compress: “As much as I would like to say I broke into Tartarus, I’m afraid that is far beyond our abilities.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2gWOxkD3W
Tomura: “Azrael… explain.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi1cS9V6oe
Azrael: “… I just… I didn’t get to say goodbye.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY9kD701fN
Theo: “You think you’re the only one! I was knocked out by some little girl before his fight with All Might even happened!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lfgoSZRZA
Twice: “Technically, she’s older than you. Shhh, not now, idiot.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa0gCYeJH3
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXLzpfWj4k
With that, any joy that was blooming in the group was brought down.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIjvKu5vZ3
Tomura: “Even if we wanted one more moment with him, we can’t draw attention to ourselves.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WWA3kbBxL
Azrael: “We won’t have to. I can teleport in.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBID2tOT3G
Theo: “Cameras.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci83a35H9H
Azrael: “You’re smart enough to create us a window of opportunity.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwPUHqladO
Theo: “… Damn it, you’re lucky flattery works on me. It’s not impossible, I suppose.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlScLuBlMwO
Compress: “And what about the quirk suppressors?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c7Wv3YnjW
Azrael: “I’ll be weakened, but it can’t fully turn off my quirk. Even if it’s a copy.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V7O6l9Rte
After a moment, and failing to suppress his own desire for one last meeting, even if by proxy, Tomura agrees.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hPgcTlT8R
Tomura: “We can’t break him out. Too risky.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkTKoP3gmi
Azrael: “I know. Just a simple talk.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdDjKo1Xen
Tomura: “… Fine.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48PR3tv0nQ
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRS6HYgEEv
Theo: “Yeah, well, it will take a few days to create something that could scramble the systems for a few minutes.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPxwsm9EEH
Twice: “Seriously, kid, how smart are you!? Are you sure you don’t have a quirk? Rude question.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD9ID3PH8C
Theo: “You’re right, that is rude. But I forgive you because you acknowledge my genius.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ80rLQix4
Dabi: “Can we eat now?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD5ot3d0S0
Spinner: “Surprised you waited.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ICnztS62x
Dabi: “I prefer to eat in silence.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY8UewEEfe
Theo: “So edgy.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyF2zCDLDr
After a light chuckle among the more lighthearted members, the group ate the best meal they’ve had in a long while.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGs8buhz61
10 Days After The Battle of Kamino
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRYODkKGYA
It was simpler than they thought it would be. Teleporters are exceedingly rare, and so defenses against such things are still rudimentary.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgevBWF6Mki
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrPg0pYDu9
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4biXqwOnXA
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNFlT51Uz8
Sensing him, All For One spoke first.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflY2ITIfUu
All For One: “It would seem I underestimated you. I assumed this would be a place you three couldn’t reach.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhOVeEOn4V
Azrael: “Theo made a way. But I only have around seven minutes.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfpaJXD4bU
All For One: “Plenty of time to make an escape. But I hope that is not what you plan.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmXLXN6ZHy
Azrael: “No, it would be too risky and draw too many eyes.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBVJoNAKtm
All For One: “Good. Tomura has grown well.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEptu1p0yF
Azrael: “Indeed. He didn’t even want me coming, but I… insisted.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eYaAagEDF
All For One: “Unexpected, I must say. I assumed Apotheosis would be the one to be the most emotional. But it was you.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFlbheLvL3
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFjSezYPRa
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq44O9bGVSd
Azrael: “… What?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFZbS7a6UF
All For One: “Not publicly, of course. The Public Safety Commission still wants a clean image. No, I will simply die from my injuries.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSONbX2xhy
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ2pnyS8Pn
Azrael: “Sensei, I-”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6AdHCHK8K
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuugYgGHw7j
Azrael: “… Yes, sensei.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGyKWUvqlp
All For One: “Good. Let’s not waste time on such things. Did the other two leave a message? I assume they did.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l5MhATfFi
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2dt41agBt
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur2x1CZCxA
Azrael: “Sensei… ”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU6ff9SNE6
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEIBD0VYi8
Azrael: “What? But how can I without drawing attention? I might as well free you.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAwZXTaAKB
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bVUVTSET2
Azrael: “Of course. Tell me their names and locations.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Tb6thWk6a
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSAhcVg61Q
Turning away, the angel takes a breath and opens a portal. But not before saying words that leave even All For One stunned.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwDvmDmmsk
Azrael: “Goodbye, Father.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBqFCmGKVC
And with that, he was gone to recruit All For One’s last gift. For said man, he recovered quickly and smiled.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfMZh81IgA
All For One: “Father… huh… ”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JImwmmo4x
His mind flashes back to when the three of them gifted him the helmet.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6CBTM2FQO
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKkqaWKTsB
All For One: “What is this?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9N2vjIo02
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnJ9H7Csjb
Theo: “It’s a special helmet we made.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRBn0WmRbv
Tomura: “I thought of it.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnih3m9vkG0
Azrael: “I designed it.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzYgRJzvT1
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yxaW924bv
Azrael: “So don’t overdo it.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmABR21gH6
All For One: “I should be the one giving you three gifts.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB6f98RnHO
An unknown feeling begins to swell within his chest as he looks into the mask. The result were words he rarely spoke to anyone.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpxyDp0etf
All For One: “Thank you.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JhIqGefx6
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04AeJZgBAu
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLndGmr7qof
All For One: “I see now.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ByULXOQvp
He cared for them.
