The day after the newly founded team got together, Kazuhiko called them back to that same previous class they all met.
"There's something I need to give you all," He said while reaching out his hand, "I'm giving you all the ability to travel between the two worlds."
"Really?!" Kaminari got excited.
"Yes. But you should only use this for missions because there's risks of being outside of the Hideout." Kazuhiko replied in a serious tone.
"Alright. I'm ready." Dylan said.
Kazuhiko reached out his hand and it started glowing, "Place your hand on mine."
Dylan put his hand on Kazuhiko's and Dylan glowed for a second and then turned back to normal.
"How're you feeling?" Kazuhiko asked.
"I feel normal. Only the process of it was slightly weird." He replied while looking at his hands.
"Alright I'm going to go one by one, reach out your hands." Kazuhiko said trying to look for who wanted to be next.
First Kaminari reached out his hand, then Cedar, then Isabella and finally Deia.
"Tomorrow we'll start our first mission." Kazuhiko said shaking his own hand.
"What kind of a mission?" Cedar asked out of curiosity.
"You'll be split into pairs and sent to different parts of the city. Your job is to gather intel without causing a scene. We need to see how well you can operate in that world without relying on the hideout's help." Kazuhiko replied.
"Isn't that a little dangerous?" Isabella got worried.
"I'll be on stand-by in case something happens. Behind me are these small headsets with a microphone and a one ear earbud." Kazuhiko moved out of the way so they could see it, "Take them with you."
They all went and grabbed their headsets and inspected them.
"Tomorrow before we head out put these on." Kazuhiko said.
They all left the classroom and got ready for tomorrow.
In the morning they gathered together again and Kazuhiko gave them orders.
"You'll be split apart with Isabella, Deia and Cedar being in one part of the city and Kaminari and Dylan in the other part of the city." Kazuhiko said.
"What exactly are we looking for?" Isabella asked.
Kazuhiko paused for a moment. "There have been reports of disturbances in the other world. Us people with powers are going to be the ones to deal with it. If you find something strange report it, don't cause a scene, remember that."
They put on their headsets and tested them out.
"Hello." Kaminari said in the microphone.
"I can hear you perfectly fine." Kazuhiko replied.
"That's cool, let's go then!" Kaminari said and they all disappeared.
Kaminari found himself standing in the middle of a busy street, and Dylan was beside him. People moved around them, completely unaware of the power hidden within them.
Kaminari looked around and got excited to be here among everyone. "Well, here we are. Let's see what kind of disturbances we can find."
Dylan nodded, "I've done these missions already so I know how it goes. Just follow me."
"Yeah, yeah," Kaminari replied in a slightly annoyed voice.
Isabella, Deia and Cedar found themselves also in a busy street.
"Did anyone notice us appear here?" Isabella whispered.
"I doubt it, no one reacted to us." Cedar replied while looking around.
"Let's just look around until we spot something and hope Kaminari and Dylan don't cause a scene." Isabella said.
Kaminari and Dylan walked away from the busy street to a quiet park.
"Do you feel the air getting colder?" Dylan said while breathing into the palm of his hands.
"Yeah... Someting feels off." Kaminari replied while walking behind Dylan.
Kaminari's guard was up and he tried to look behind him in case someone was following them but suddenly he could hear Dylan gasp for air.
When he turned around he saw that Dylan had been stabbed with a sword and he was held in the air.
"DYLAN!!!" Kaminari yelled out.
He looked at who stabbed him and the entire world stopped moving for him. "You..."
It appeared to be the same person who called himself The Watcher.
"Why... WHY ARE YOU HERE?!" Kaminari charged up his powers.
The Watcher threw Dylan on the ground.
"Who are you?" The Watcher replied while looking at Kaminari.
"You don't remember killing my parents?! How cold blooded are you?!" Kaminari kept yelling.
"I've killed a lot of people but this is all for peace. I could've killed you back then if I wanted to but there was no need for that. You aren't one of the anomalies." The Watcher replied giving Kaminari a cold look.
"Anomalies? What are you talking about?!" Kaminari asked.
"It seems you have a lot of questions related to me. I don't have time to answer all of them but I'm the person who's keeping everything in peace. Killing these people will eventually lead us to peace and you'll realize it some day. The vision I received showed me the people that need to die and unfortunately for you three of them were close to you. Does that answer your questions?" The Watcher replied in a calm tone.
"None of it makes sense! I trained all my life in hopes of taking you down and this time I'll do it for sure!!" Kaminari yelled and the clouds above them got darker.
Kaminari's hand was shining with bright yellow electricity surrounding it, "I'LL KILL YOU!"
The Watcher sighed, "Fine. Try to hurt me."
Kaminari directed the electricity from his hand towards him and also a lighting strike came down from the sky.
The Watcher didn't move and instead he created a golden force field around him that blocked the attacks.
"I'm not a bad person here. All I'm doing is making sure we don't suffer anymore with a few sacrifices." The Watcher replied.
Kaminari didn't say anything, instead he was trying to go for another attack.
"I hope we don't meet again... But if we do, you better be stronger than this." The Watcher replied and disappeared into thin air.
"Damn it all..." Kaminari said while falling on his knees.
"Dylan... DYLAN?!" Kaminari looked around, saw him lying on the ground and made his way to him.
"Dylan, are you okay?!" He turned on his microphone, "Guys... Dylan... He's-"
"It's fine Kaminari..." Dylan tried to hint him to turn off his microphone, "There's no point in getting everyone here..."
"No. Dylan we can still save you." Kaminari tried to not freak out.
"He cut me pretty deep," Dylan started coughing, "It's finally time I reunite with them... Oh that's right, I never told you what happened to my team, did I?"
"They died when we got caught by the government, I was the only one who escaped without trying to help them and I regret it a lot but this... this has given me a chance to reunite with them..." Dylan tried to get his final words out.
"No don't say that... Help is on the way, please..." Kaminari tried covering up his wound.
"Kaminari... Promise me something," Dylan said with his eyes closed.
"What?" Kaminari replied.
"Get away from here, don't get yourself caught. You caused quite a scene over here." Dylan said as his voice got quieter.
"That's right... My powers, I can bring you back to the Hideout. Let's go." Kaminari smiled.
He used his new powers and appeared in front of the main building of the Hideout with Dylan's body.
"Someone help!! Dylan... He's seriously wounded!" Kaminari started yelling for help.
Kazuhiko rushed outside, "What happened?!"
"He... He got stabbed by this mysterious guy..." Kaminari tried to explain.
Kazuhiko and other adults in there surrounded Kaminari and Dylan. Kazuhiko went in to check Dylan's pulse and his face completely changed.
"Is he okay?" Kaminari tried to ask but the other adults tried to get him away from Dylan.
"STOP! Don't try to get me away from him. I need to know if he's fine!!" Kaminari tried to fight back.
"I'm sorry Kaminari. You shouldn't be seeing all this happen." One of them said.
A few days passed since that day.
"Kaminari, this isn't your fault," Isabella tried to talk to him.
"This is my fault. I wasn't strong enough to beat that person." Kaminari got mad at himself.
A doctor walked out the room and looked at the kids.
"Is he okay?" Kaminari asked.
The doctor gave him a sad look and didn't say anything.
"Why..." Kaminari tried to say something but then decided to turn around and exit the hospital.
He wandered around the Hideout and kept thinking about The Watcher.
"I need to get stronger. I need to kill The Watcher. The peace he's talking about is a lie, they didn't do anything wrong..." Kaminari talked to himself.
"I'm terribly sorry that we weren't able to save him," The doctor said.
"It's fine," Cedar replied while also getting sad.
After a long year of getting over this situation, Yamikuro Asaki joined their team.
"We're getting a new teammate?!" Isabella got curious.
"Who is it?" Cedar asked.
"I'm happy to meet him," Deia said.
Kaminari didn't say anything but he was curious on who it was.
"So... He's a little bit different compared to you." Kazuhiko started, "His powers aren't a part of what we have."
"What does that mean?" Isabella asked.
"He possesses something different compared to us but try to be nice with him." Kazuhiko replied.
"Just like The Watcher...? He's not a part of us." Kaminari said.
"He isn't like the person who killed Dylan. He's your age and went through a hard time." Kazuhiko tried to calm Kaminari down.
They went to Kendra's office and were ready to meet this new member.
