3 Days After The Battle of Kamino
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9Ui34rVy4
The angel returns to the waking world and finds himself staring into a dark ceiling.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CZ7b5SgUD
Azrael: ‘I’m alive… ’
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd68H97LO3
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0SEtD0N6L
Azrael: ‘A new hideout, I suppose. All For One must have-’
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVDLbptbfP
Dabi: “Seems like you’re awake.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNeM7kJWjY
Emerging out of the darkness outside the door was the scarred man within their little league.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ370oz3BEqo
Dabi: “Had to be on my shift. Well, I better ask how you’re doing.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxzZKCxQHe
Azrael: “Physically, fine but weaker. I pushed myself too far. Mentally… I… lost. I failed sensei and he had to save me.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEJyDzXAs8
Dabi: “We all lost. Don’t go beating yourself over nothing.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZTRvcNJF8
The angel’s eyes widen as she slowly turns to his comrade.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn1OEKhfNy
Azrael: “We? What do you mean? I sent you all to All For One, and he-”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe3yFdBPTs
Dabi: “No. The big boss lost too.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDelfA83TTR
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT5474AmH3
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lgd19z237
That fact doesn’t change anything for Azrael, though.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBFwfJuHMq
Azrael: “All For One… lost? Sensei… in jail?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx0MFVWTGY
The man trembles as tears threaten to spill from the utter impact of the news.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm8dbRSLYd
Dabi: “Don’t go crying. That will not change anything. Even the other two knew that.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8op8YOq48Q
Azrael: “Theo? Tomura? Are they alright?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRJPr4xdCq
Dabi: “Yes. The kid has been working himself to death in his lab while the boss is making plans.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvEwcCjPJ9
Azrael: “… I see. I assume we are to lay low for a while and build our forces?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuvbo9ComT
Dabi: “That’s the plan. Now, I did my job. When you are ready, you can eat down below.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRo8rXqfEP
With that, the man left Azrael to his grief and anger. Feelings he knows all too well.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rywo8ecUE
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyCBeP6ujs
Azrael: ‘If I didn’t play with my food and instantly killed those pros, could I have helped sensei? Is… this my fault?’
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSA4TiNd0Z
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVZ5BmploN
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFCr7bgEsK
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXHrtVV4IL
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMblV8WHhJH
Spinner: “Look who decided to wake up. Some of us were worried you weren’t going to make it.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoJB8I66f0
Azrael: “Don’t be. If I am to die, it won’t be by some hero.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjapxeQLmZP
He says while taking a seat at the table.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIvHjXl0BW
Compress: “You woke up at a good time; food should be here soon.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bhtQl7rwP
Azrael: “Take-out, again?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKUTWxBPmr
Compress: “Of course, and of a lower quality due to the location. Can’t afford teleportation at the moment unless absolutely necessary.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8yJrxNrqG
Azrael: “A wise choice. Will anyone else be joining us? Like Kota, for example.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5etriKzpS
Spinner: “Ah, about that… the kid isn’t with us.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEq61GU7hS
Taking a slow breath, the angel went through the possibilities. Only one seemed likely.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXQ4HrALNk
Azrael: “I assume one of the heroes took him in.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2thqMtGjs
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.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgULEjRWZ62
Azrael: “I see… ”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaYeJMvB0h
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.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qWeky4lh9
Spinner: “Plan on getting Kota back?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn09xR7yox
Azrael: “… I’ll run it by Tomura first.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO2PNzbEaV
It was then that the opening of a door was heard. From around the corner came Magne, Mustard, and Toga.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXORdixEJm
Toga: “Tada! Lunch has arrived!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6exGtgAvU
Magne: “And it seems Azrael is awake too.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v9ZEhO1T7
Azrael: “Hello, you three.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFtf9XtWSE
Spinner: “Please, tell me you brought something good this time.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ztbh8gPh9
Toga: “Big sis Magne is still pretty noticeable, and I can’t waste too much blood. So… ”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAay1LohZJo
Azrael: “Ah… ”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe4GxkDnnm
Protein bars, bread, water, and jolly ranchers. Not much of a meal.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIVKaZjDQH
Compress: “I said Mustard should be the one to go out. No one knows his face.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUttqV4SptZ
Mustard: “You first.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYDd61dDqq
Azrael: “You don’t have to keep your mask on here, you know.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2qMX2MM9I
Mustard: “I prefer it on, thanks.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTfMIlbiG4
Spinner: “Eating alone again?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8Dh87m6OS
Mustard: “Yeah, later.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvk3euZXAr
The boy takes a single protein bar and heads up to his room. In return, Twice, Dabi, and Tomura came down.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw4movzWdR
Twice: “Whoa, is that a five-star meal I see!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqDCJaqzeq
Toga: “You’re just saying that.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxhgDGn3me
Twice: “No way, I always tell the truth. I’m a compulsive liar.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mNQFnjmpe
Spinner: “It’s better than last time.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wb82vRyJd
As the others start taking the little share they are allowed, Tomura walks toward Azrael.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM8S7CjeeW
Tomura: “You’re awake.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4Guv8tiTY
Azrael: “I am, and I… heard about what happened.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPkKQSS9C7
Tomura: “… Don’t worry about it. This changes nothing. Eat and get your strength up.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtNS14GSow
Smiling, the angel removes his mask and takes a single loaf of bread.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaRSQVRaer
While they eat in a comfortable silence, a blue portal opens up beside the table.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLDyeqkLdI
Twice: “Can he not do that all the time? Pretty lights, love it!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRv7UxCLVV
From the portal steps out an exhausted and yawning Theo.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrdJvFaknf
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-”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj75Oms1Et
The boy’s eyes widen when he sees Azrael awake. Immediately, the boy tackles him with a bone-crushing hug.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcq83QgNtv
Theo: “You’re awake! I thought you-”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW2zoqHgU1
Opening his eyes, he realizes that he is reminding everyone of his true age. Getting off and coughing, Theo returns to his adult demeanor.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjm3ny6Ets
Theo: “I knew you would be alright; welcome back.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0auyZf3aY0
Azrael: “I’m glad to see you too, Theo. I’m not happy to see bags under your eyes, though.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblB8rsJzTP
Theo: “Blame Giran. Ever since… you know, monetary support has been scarce. So it’s up to me to keep the lights on.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cTHwvtRFB
Twice: “Yet we’re still eating gruel. Thanks for the food, good sir. Still 5-star!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ189IZ0Iok4
Theo: “You’re welcome. And add onto my work with the next stone, school, and my undercover activities, and sleep is a distant dream.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7Z3EHOAcg
Tomura: “If we’re going to accomplish our goals, we need you at your best. Take a break.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfPNk4rUPW
Theo: “I’m fine. Besides, I’m sure you’ll change your mind when I show you this!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2gvTym7gj
He opens a portal and brings out an actual 5-star meal. Quickly, he sits down an assortment of chicken, rice, eggs, and noodles.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GUc1DNamr
Toga: “Whoa!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2X8nPOmmh
Spinner: “Finally, some meat!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hF6IJW5s4
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.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStehJ9NXqr
Azrael: ‘A fact you refuse to let him forget.’
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9exYwJRGZa
Tomura: “Wait.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWstrPvoEX
Theo: “Yeah?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExemw69xNZ
Tomura: “Where did you get this? Thought you were too busy, and Giran doesn’t offer such generous commissions.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJed51RD01H
Theo: “Of course I stole it when a restaurant was in the crosshairs of a minor villain attack.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc8J4b8rER
Compress: “A poor stage, but well done.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7FhwSix28
Theo: “Thanks.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr75vdAzTUV
Tomura: “I won’t reject the food. But you’re putting us at risk; knock it off.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsIKXDmVy4
Theo: “What do you-”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3vEHJvI4z
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.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvIO9O01mR
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.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyOFsvdmog
Tomura: “Strategist… ”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ns6SMrdnC
Sensing that Tomura was serious about this, the boy relented.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrTaDAGDji
Theo: “Fine, all the bare necessities. No more risky theft.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkXv6RMd1x
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.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStBCf7RqY4
Theo: “I suppose… at least we can enjoy the meal.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwltkRR20GY
Azrael: “Actually, I can’t.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xYwvC7ISM
The group looks at Azrael, who has yet to take part in the new meal.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qhdlwaB0s
Tomura: “And why is that?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkeZnDyFiE
Azrael: “… Forgive me, but… I want to visit Sensei.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdmTgBl2BP
Silence enough to hear even a pen drop consumes the table. Until Spinner broke it.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVFwWqGiUk
Spinner: “Are you crazy!? Do you know where he is?!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M5MtkGHDy
Toga: “The same place they took Mr. Stainy.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsxtDpvj5t
Compress: “As much as I would like to say I broke into Tartarus, I’m afraid that is far beyond our abilities.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1tPN2UMOQ
Tomura: “Azrael… explain.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b0U1Lj08J
Azrael: “… I just… I didn’t get to say goodbye.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AyfgD9tBO
Theo: “You think you’re the only one! I was knocked out by some little girl before his fight with All Might even happened!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeE7alyOGl
Twice: “Technically, she’s older than you. Shhh, not now, idiot.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQRMTetJwY
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.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHOX1IkdbC
With that, any joy that was blooming in the group was brought down.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3ExTSWjo4
Tomura: “Even if we wanted one more moment with him, we can’t draw attention to ourselves.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTeFXvQPcf
Azrael: “We won’t have to. I can teleport in.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvKCpEFMuB
Theo: “Cameras.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpkko2zCNh
Azrael: “You’re smart enough to create us a window of opportunity.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY4umjPVDk
Theo: “… Damn it, you’re lucky flattery works on me. It’s not impossible, I suppose.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx8ZE4SgQ7
Compress: “And what about the quirk suppressors?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPOCsGbMbJ
Azrael: “I’ll be weakened, but it can’t fully turn off my quirk. Even if it’s a copy.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42NBeWo8Wg
After a moment, and failing to suppress his own desire for one last meeting, even if by proxy, Tomura agrees.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPDSxy0tdY
Tomura: “We can’t break him out. Too risky.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88em52UxTX
Azrael: “I know. Just a simple talk.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbvaZjvL3E
Tomura: “… Fine.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLvAkN18an
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.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJiBbWb8rQ
Theo: “Yeah, well, it will take a few days to create something that could scramble the systems for a few minutes.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6JnGvJDkZ
Twice: “Seriously, kid, how smart are you!? Are you sure you don’t have a quirk? Rude question.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxP4axMFk0
Theo: “You’re right, that is rude. But I forgive you because you acknowledge my genius.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2qQcWKf8b
Dabi: “Can we eat now?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIA1foGVIb
Spinner: “Surprised you waited.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE2D42SFGh
Dabi: “I prefer to eat in silence.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ6oIdSkhC
Theo: “So edgy.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUETxxbfP2
After a light chuckle among the more lighthearted members, the group ate the best meal they’ve had in a long while.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4inYLswJzU
10 Days After The Battle of Kamino
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKaFMngwS4
It was simpler than they thought it would be. Teleporters are exceedingly rare, and so defenses against such things are still rudimentary.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpnIDt3DAY
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVduAf0aJV
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDPbfrvwSw
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewGV6Qkobu
Sensing him, All For One spoke first.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1433pV1Gv
All For One: “It would seem I underestimated you. I assumed this would be a place you three couldn’t reach.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqhK96sj3p
Azrael: “Theo made a way. But I only have around seven minutes.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1xk2NNiVh
All For One: “Plenty of time to make an escape. But I hope that is not what you plan.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKjIAlnBdb
Azrael: “No, it would be too risky and draw too many eyes.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnguPPlLX8p
All For One: “Good. Tomura has grown well.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYHIAxkYBm
Azrael: “Indeed. He didn’t even want me coming, but I… insisted.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdKYGtDKCK
All For One: “Unexpected, I must say. I assumed Apotheosis would be the one to be the most emotional. But it was you.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgorTszkoW5
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.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnf3yEli1V
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.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRqsuECXig
Azrael: “… What?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjo39v5oMD
All For One: “Not publicly, of course. The Public Safety Commission still wants a clean image. No, I will simply die from my injuries.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddc95CAquK
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjS5yG7Koa
Azrael: “Sensei, I-”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKS2bn1QFh
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.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMoyp5cILY
Azrael: “… Yes, sensei.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19oDxnpKwa
All For One: “Good. Let’s not waste time on such things. Did the other two leave a message? I assume they did.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorF4vQSqcf
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.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAElxtdqy43
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.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1iPVOBSTX
Azrael: “Sensei… ”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlfFVLLV7E
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.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1e0L4niPa
Azrael: “What? But how can I without drawing attention? I might as well free you.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqhCPhUIfL
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.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9jeOOOI9B
Azrael: “Of course. Tell me their names and locations.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge0cAtI5An
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ix4psifhj
Turning away, the angel takes a breath and opens a portal. But not before saying words that leave even All For One stunned.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z6FfD1L86
Azrael: “Goodbye, Father.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE0xw9AGIU
And with that, he was gone to recruit All For One’s last gift. For said man, he recovered quickly and smiled.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgQS3y76Ig
All For One: “Father… huh… ”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt0XXPA2iE
His mind flashes back to when the three of them gifted him the helmet.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjy9TnRtdl
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR1XcIyvVf
All For One: “What is this?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb9m720i8s
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolXIGQHyEy
Theo: “It’s a special helmet we made.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzXcVQhexm
Tomura: “I thought of it.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIw8jv39nO
Azrael: “I designed it.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog56ddbUrW
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.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNxZ1shGwv
Azrael: “So don’t overdo it.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZDIzA0mDH
All For One: “I should be the one giving you three gifts.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkij7Rqb4BI
An unknown feeling begins to swell within his chest as he looks into the mask. The result were words he rarely spoke to anyone.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu52UDRlTX
All For One: “Thank you.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBS1nW4WMU
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZYhPWrvih
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gf9YZiqn1
All For One: “I see now.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM3d8aZudc
He cared for them.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsusgPOuF6V
At first, they were simply a means to an end. In fact, the original plan was to steal Tomura’s body after escaping.
