Dabi as narrator: I'm starting to change for the worst but I can't focus on that since multiple problems are coming to the surface. Overhaul is one of them including the ones in the masks. And also the links. I don't know what that means but I hope it's nothing too bad.
*The town continues to be restored despite Overhaul being knocked unconscious.*
*Looking at his hands just to see changes the hands were similar to Random's. A sudden thought of losing control to the playful demon that had taken control of the former random.*
Dabi: The demon inside of me is taking control...
*Looks down at his hands that have claws but are completely white.*
Shigaraki: I hate problem after problem. It's an endless cycle of problems.
(In his mind).
"After all the bullshit we went through time and time again and we're still not out of it. Damnit how complicated this must be. How many more problems do we have to go through?"
(Out of his mind).
Dabi: We have to stop those guys before they cause massive destruction.
*Looks back at Shigaraki and notices Overhaul is waking up.*
(In the darkness).
The Man in the Mask: The first link is here.
(At the Town).
Overhaul: Chrono...
*Says it sleepily looking around slightly just to see himself in a different place. He woke up fully as he noticed Shigaraki and Dabi, who were also there, which startled him. He didn't expect his enemies would be here.*
Overhaul: ...
*Backing up slowly looking down at his arms just to see them missing.*
Shigaraki: Overhaul is that you?
*Wondering if it's Overhaul or it's the book*
Overhaul: You decided to get revenge when I'm sleeping, you bastards!
*Growls at them in frustration and rage. Knowing that they possibly destroyed the Shie Hassaikai in his sleep and possibly killed off Chrono, too.*
Shigaraki: What the fuck are you talking about?
*Looks at him confused*
Overhaul: Don't play dumb I know you came for revenge for what I did to Toga. That bitch deserves what she's gotten.
*Smirks slightly while remembering what he did to Toga by turning her into a sex slave for random people including the police department.*
Shigaraki: What are you talking about?
*Looks at him confused but remembers that portal that appears right in front of him.*
Overhaul: I turned that Bitch into a sex slave for random fucking men could rape her over and over again isn't that fun? Hahaha!
*Laughing at his face*
Shigaraki: I'm hoping you must be high Overhaul. If not, I'm going to fucking kill you.
*Clutching his fists tightly almost making them bleed.*
Dabi: Wait a minute...
*Eyes widen slightly realizing what's happening*
(Flashback).
Man in the Goat Mask: I doubt you would be able to stop us since the three links have just started.
(End of Flashback).
(In his mind).
"So this must be the first link? Wait, but it can't be another Overhaul from a different dimension, or unless it is? Or I'm just overthinking without evidence. But it could explain why he's talking nonsense."
*Looking over to Shigaraki, who's currently filled with rage, and then looks at Overhaul, who's currently smug.*
"Is the book connecting to those who look like the user in different dimensions?"
(Out of his mind).
Dabi: Shigaraki don't do something that you might regret! That's the first link taking control over Overhaul!
*Yells out at Shigaraki who's currently filled with rage*
Shigaraki: ...
*Placing his hand down, he immediately used his quirk to use decay. Decaying everything sending it straight towards to Overhaul.*
Dabi: Fuck!
*Running right towards Overhaul wanting to save him from the decay*
Overhaul: ...
*Looking over slightly just to see someone familiar. His eyes widen realizing who it is.*
Overhaul: Eri...
*A twisted smile appears on his face as his eyes change color from his normal eye color to dark red. Disappearing from the path of decay which shocked both Shigaraki and Dabi*
Dabi: He's after Eri.
*Changing directions as he activated his quirk, despite the pain and tiredness that he's currently in, he has no choice but to keep going.*
(In his mind).
"Fuck fuck fuck! How did this even happen?"
"Remembering when Shigaraki knocked Overhaul out.*
"Was that it?"
(Out of his mind).
Dabi: Shigaraki we have to knock out Overhaul again!
*Yells out to him while running straight towards Eri but notices that Overhaul is there in an instant*
Overhaul: Eri, you've been a naughty girl, haven't you?
*Smiles widely staring at the young girl who seems terrified.*
Eri: ...
*Eyes widen as she tears up*
Overhaul: How dare you escape with those filthy heroes, but you won't escape from me, not this time!
*Laughing like a maniac but the laughter changes into something demonic.*
Shigaraki: Have you forgotten that you're an armless bastard?
*Using one of his quirks, Rivet Stab, to create black tendrils that have prominent red cracked lines from his hands, stabbing Overhaul from behind. Missing the critical points to the point of not killing him.*
Overhaul: That's true how unfortunate...
*Glaring at Eri with hate and disgust, wanting to rip her to shreds, the thought of killing her makes him feel happy inside, but Shigaraki and Dabi are getting in the way.*
Overhaul: GET OUT OF MY WAY!
*Says it out loud in anger and frustration as dark red energy surrounds his body. The energy disbursed hearing his stomach growling is as if he was hungry. Looking at Eri like she was a piece of meat which made him drool.*
Shigaraki: My quirk is still on you!
*Forcing him away from Eri but noticed Dabi went right in front of Eri*
Dabi: You're the first link are you?
*Looks at him*
Overhaul: The first what?
*Snapping out of it he looks over to a dead body that looks similar to his boss. His eyes widen as he tears up but also remembers what happened on that day of the rape thanks to that woman who ruined his memory of his boss forever.*
Dabi: Listen to me! The people in the masks are using you! If you meet them one day stay away from them! Or better yet don't let the book take control!
*Looks at him hoping he's listening to every word he just told him.*
Overhaul: I don't know what you are talking about... A book?
*Shrugs it off as he coughs out black liquid from his mouth, which makes him panic, at least for a moment.*
Shigaraki: ...
*Pulling him away from Eri and Dabi still using Rivet Stab.*
Shigaraki: Remember everything and go back to your dimension. I just hope that other Shigaraki would save Toga since I can't.
*Using his strength to knock out Overhaul in an instant. Watching Overhaul fall unconscious.*
Dabi: Let's keep going since we wasted so much time here.
*Walking away slowly already tiring himself out from the Overhaul situation even though it's still unresolved. Breathing heavily as he falls landing on his face.*
Shigaraki: Dabi!
*Running right towards him while carrying Overhaul and holding Eri's hand.*
Dabi: My body is fucking tired.
*Trying his hardest to stay awake and even move if that's only possible. He closes his eyes slightly just to see a creature in his mind that looks exactly like Random, the playful demon.*
This will be continued in the next chapter.
