It was dark just... just like back when he was first captured but, it was as cold and the floor didn't seem as hard has he remembered. *Groan~* Izuku groaned in pain as his scars that he got that day flared up in pain... Wait... Izuku paused at that, something was off, he slowly opened his eyes. First of all, he wasn't healed to full compacity, that was the first thing he noticed. Secondly, he didn't feel all that in pain... sort of? Now don't get him wrong, he still hurt everywhere, but it didn't feel as bad? Or well it did, but it felt more like a needle stabbing him here and there instead of feeling like a hot molten broad sword stabbing him everywhere, and trust him, he would know. And lastly, he took in his surrounding and notices he wasn't tied down to cold metal table, nor was he in a dark cell, or boiling water orb one of those weird tube things when the doctor experiments on him and he felt calm and not on edge. But before he could think about it further, he heard two faintly familiar voices, he just couldn't remember from where.
"Marai... are you sure its, its Izuku? And even if it is... how are we sure its still him? How can we be sure that its that little devil that always brought a smile to everyone's face? H-how, how can I be sure that he's the grandson I remember and love Marai? You saw his *condition*, Michael knows what what that *monster* did to him! NOT TO MENTION WHAT HE DID TO NANA! SHINRA! INKO! AND NOW TOSHINORI!" A elderly sounding voice said to the man, Marai, sounding like he was holding back a sob. But before Marai could console the old man, they both heard a small quite voice say. "G-grandpa T-torino?" Izuku remembered that voice now and why it sounded familiar, it was his grandpa, a retired old pro called Gran Torino. Hearing Izuku speak, Torino didn't waist a second and activated his quirk {Jet} to shoot compressed jets of air out of his feet and launch himself to Izuku's side in seconds. "I-izuku, is it really you ya zygote?"
"G-grandpa, where am I? I don't really remember what happened" Before either Gran Torino or Marai who was standing one side quietly could answer him, the door of the room slid open and in came a man wearing a white coat with a clipboard and said. " I can answer that, your in Tokyo General Hospital in a private section that isn't accessible to the public. And as for why you seem to be struggling to remember what happened, its because you bumped your head pretty hard, but you should be able to remember everything that happened after a few hours or so." Izuku just slowly nodded at that, not quite sure what to make of the situation. Plus, he was still confused as to why he felt so calm, this wasn't normal, and that in of itself should have put him on edge but it didn't. The doctor seeing his confused expression answered him as if he read Izuku's mind.
"You might have realized that your feeling extremely calm and confused as to why, to put it simply, your under the effects of my quirk. It's called {Serenity}, it forces you to be calm and at peace, but it only lasts for about 72 hours, but after that, you'll basically feel all your negative emotions hit you like a truck. So be prepared, because its not pleasant." The doctor told Izuku and then turned to the other 2 people in the room. "Mr. Torino, Mr. Sasaki, I thought you would like to know, but All Might's condition is stable at the moment."
"I'm sensing a huge 'but'. " Said Marai, the doctor nodded at that and then continued. "Yes, you are correct Mr. Sasaki. The huge 'but' is that we weren't able to heal All Might. We tried everything we could, but nothing seems to be working. We have however been able to make his condition stable and stop deterioration, but whatever spell or quirk AFO hit All Might with, seems to be stopping any and all healing."
The room suddenly felt extremely chilly, and was filled with bloodlust that was strong enough to bring the doctor to his knees and make Torino as well as Marai sweet profusely. The source? It was the 9 year old child currently laying in the hospital bed of the room they were in.
"AllForOneAllForOneAllForOneAllForOneAllForOneAllForOneAllForOneAllForOneAllForOneAllForOneAllForOneAllForOneAllForOneAllForOneAllForOneAllForOneAllForOneAllForOneAllForOneAllForOneAllForOneAllForOneAllForOneAllForOne..." Izuku kept muttering the name All For One over and over again while what looked to be smoky shadow like substance was emanating of him that came together form a image of what looked to be a demon of some kind.
Marain seeing this, quickly grabbed Gran Torino and looked him the eye before activating his quirk [Foresight], which allowed him to see someone's future from a 3rd person perspective and he did not like what he saw, he turned to the doctor who was was breathing heavily on the floor and picked him while running to the door and shouting at Gran Torino. "TORINO! GET OUT THE ROOM IMMEDIATELY!" He said as he made it out the room.
Torino followed quickly after, trusting Marai, he turned to him once they were out the room, but before he could ask Marai why they had to do that... *BOOOOM* "ALLLLL FOOOOR OOOOONEEEE! I'LL KILL YOUUUUUU!"
The room Izuku was in suddenly had green flames bursting from it that sounded the emergency alarms of the hospital.
"MARAI! WHAT WAS THAT?!" Torino shouted at Marai because of the alarms going off so that Marai could here him. Marai looked at Torino serouisely and simply said. "Izuku." Torino looked baffled, but before Torino could ask what he ment.
*Crackle* *Crackle* *Hiss* *Step* *Step*
Marai and Torino were startled as Izuku came walking out of the room with green flames being emitted from his feet, but the part that startled them most was Izuku's face and body. Izuku had manically and huge smile plastered on his face that showed off his sharp teeth, while his eyes seemed to be completely red. While his body was on full display because his hospital gown had burned away. He entire body was covered in gruesome scars of all kind, and the where also golden red and whiteish chains around his neck, wrists and ankles.
This shocked Torino and Marai to their core, they obviously saw Izuku's condition, but not to its fullest, only his arms and legs because of the hospital gown that use to cover his body. Izuku then turned to them, and it looked like he was about to lundge at them, but before he could.
"Geez Torino, even in old age you can't seem to keep out of trouble. I mean what even is this situation right now?"
A tall man appearing to be in his twenties with an average build, black hair, golden bangs, and black goatee said as he suddenly appeared behind Izuku and chopped Izuku on the the neck and knocking him out and catching his limp body with his left arm.
"Azazel?! What are you doing here? And who the hell are you calling an old geezer?!?!" Torino said confused and insulted from Azazel's snide remark. Azazel just shrugged and said. "Isn't it obvious? I came to see a old friend and see if I couldn't help out with trying to heal that big oof, you know how advanced the tech at Grigori is." Torino just sighed tiredly at that, but before Torino could ask the man more questions, Azazel asked him a question.
"Anyways, who's this kid I knocked out? He's scarily strong for his age, he seems to be able to put the high low tiers of the supernatural world's on their toes, which is impressive for he's age. But gotta say, he has some pretty fucking nasty scars, especially he's back."
"That Izuku." Torino simply said. Azazel looked at Izuku and then back to Torino before hitting the wall the wall with his fist causing spider like cracks to appear while shouting at Torino. "DON'T FUCK WITH ME OLD MAN! IZUKU'S DEAD! HE DIED ALONG SHINRA AND INKO!"
Torino felt a pang of sadness within his old heart, Azazel might seem like he's a calm and chill guy. But he cares deeply for his friends and comrades, and Shinra was someone who he considered a brother, Inko was someone who he considered as a little sister. And Izuku, Izuku was someone who he considered his nephew, so it was a sore topic for him when it came to the Kusakabe's. People he genuinely considered as family, and they him.
So his sudden out burst was understandable, sense he thought Izuku had died along with his parents, and to see his nephew in such a condition enraged him."Who... WHO THE FUCK DID THIS TO MY NEPHEW?!?!" Azazel yelled as he emitted bloodlust that was hundreds of times more potent and stronger then Izuku's. This caused Torino lose his breath and bring him onto all fours, same went for Marai who had been silent up until now, and as for the doctor? Yeah no, that poor man might have had had a heart attack or something since he was completely limp on the ground while foaming at the mouth.
"A-all F-for One." Torino managed to weez out. And just like that, Azazel's bloodlust went away as he let out a long and shaky sigh while rubbing his temples. "God dammit, now I wish Toshinori didn't kill that damn monster."
*Cough* *Cough* "W-WHAT'S WITH *Wheez* A-ALL THE COMMOTION? A booming painfully sounding voice said from behind said. "TOSHI/TOSHINORI/ALL MIGHT!" Torino, Marai and Azazel shout with surprise all in unison.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING OUT OF YOUR ROOM?! BETTER YET, WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT OF YOUR DAMN BED YA BIG OOF!" Torino yelled at All Might, and it was understandable. Toshinori literally looked like death, he was bleeding and leaving a trail of blood on the floor and the wall he was leaning on.
Coughing violently, Toshinori said. "I *wheez* FELT BLOODLUST AND HEARD A EXPLOSION *wheez* SO I THOUGHT THE HOSPITAL WAS UNDER ATTACK. I COULDN'T JUST STAY STILL." Marai then stepped up, looking furious at that and then yelled.
"Oh and what! Huh All Might!? Your missing most of your stomach and your missing a whole damn lung! There are other heroes! There are others who could have responded if there was an attack! You don't have to always be the one to save the day! You can't, you can't replace him! You'll work yourself to damn death! Look what happened to you! Your pushing yourself to hard! You need to retire!" Marai yelled his heart out to All Might in desperation.
All Might just looked at Marai with a steady gaze and eyes burning with determination. "HAVEN'T YOU... BEEN WATCHING THE NEWS...? EVERYONE IS...SEARCHING FOR ME. AND IF THEY'RE WAITING FOR MY RETURN... I HAVE TO GO..."
*BAM!* Marai slammed his fist on the wall and shouted. "GOD DAMMIT TOSHINORI! THIS WON'T BRING HIM BACK GODDAMMIT!"
"I KNOW THAT! BUT I HAVE TO! EVEN IF ALL FOR ONE IS NO MORE... WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY OF SUPERHUMANS! OF SUPERNATURALS! OF GOD'S! OF BEINGS WHO RULE THIS GALAXY WITH POWER TO DESTROY ENTIRE PLANETS!. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE NEXT ALL FOR ONE APPEARS. AND UNTIL I FIND THAT PERSON AND TAKE HIM DOWN AS WELL, WHO WILL BE THEIR SYMBOL? SHINRA IS DEAD! THE SYMBOL OF HOPE IS GONE BECAUSE I WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH BACK THEN TO FINISH THE JOB! AND MY MASTER! MY MOTHER PAYED THE PRICE! AND NOW SHINRA! INKO! AND IZUKU DID AS WELL! IT HAS TO BE ME WHO WILL BE A SYMBOL JUST LIKE SHINRA! SO THAT PEOPLE WOULDN'T LOSE ANYONE IMPORTANT ANYMORE LIKE I DID!"
Toshinori said with his burning with a fire that shone as brightly as the sun, he looked like a walking corpse, but his eyes burned with unlimited amounts of vitality, spirit and determination. So whatever left Marai had to say was caught in his throat. But before either Toshinori or Marai could say anything more, Azazel and Torino who had both been silent this whole time, coughed into their hands to gain Toshinori's attention.
All Might turned his head to look at them and ask why they we're trying to get his attention, but then his eyes landed on the child that was passed out in Azazel's arms and asked. "AZAZEL, WHY IS DEMA-SHONEN UNCONSCIOUS IN YOUR ARM'S?"
Azazel shifted awkwardly in place and said. "Umm, first of all, his name isn't Dema, and second of all, he went uhhhh, kinda berserk so I knocked him out before he could attack gramps over there and Marai, as well as that passed out doctor over there." Azazel said and pointed to the knocked out doctor on the floor.
Toshinori blinked at that and then said. "WAIT, HE TRIED TO ATTACK GRAN TORINO, MARAI AND THAT DOCTOR? ALSO, WHAT DO YOU MEAN HIS NAME ISN'T DEMA?" Toshinori questioned.
Azazel nodded but then turned to Torino and asked him with his eyes if he should tell Toshinori who the kid really was, Torino thought for a moment then nodded at Azazel.
Azazel took a deep breath before meeting Toshinori's gaze with his own and simply said. "Izuku Kusakabe."
"HUH?" Was all Toshinori managed to get out before he passed out from shock.
