'what is he doing? he's the emperor, he should be fighting but he's not, and what's he. . . !!!'
"SHIGARAKI STOP!!! IT'S A TRAP!!! THIS IS WHAT HE WANTS!!!"
"what!?"
just then, an enchanted ballista arrow was shot, flying directly towards shigaraki. . .
"shit!" shigaraki cursed as he ducked and rolled out the way, the arrow flying past him, but as it got past him, it stopped suddenly in mid air, staying still before turning and following shigaraki
"oh c'mon!"
"huh. . . i thought the humans hated magic. . ."
"YEAH BUT ELVES DON'T! USE THAT VINE TRICK YOU DID WITH ME!"
"fine, but only cuz if you die, most likely i would to"
'i mean, i can't die but i would be impaled, and the wound would try to heal around the arrow, but either way i would rather not go through that. . .'
"HEY HEAD OUT THE CLOUDS DUMBASS! DECAY THE ARROW DAMN IT!" izuku yelled, his arm reached out and fist clenched, green smoke forming around it, and using his other hand to throw a rock at shigaraki's head, "ack! hey what was that for!?" "DECAY THE ARROW! I CAN'T HOLD IT MUCH LONGER!" "ok ok. . . " shigaraki said, getting up and putting all five fingers on the point of the arrow, decaying it
"general! . . . general?"
izuku and shigaraki turned to the emperor, seeing him with his sword drawn as he watched his general, who was hunched over, clenching his sides as he screamed in agony, his spine and shoulder blade detorting and busting through the skin, black blood pouring out of the gapping wounds
"shigaraki. . . this isn't my doing. . ."
. . .
a man with dark hair and green eyes, walked into a room, where another man wearing a black cloak, the hood down, showing his pitch black long hair, tied in a braid, and a gold thorn crown, "father, the elf, he's with-"
"son, i have told you not to bother me, and i know about the elf, he's in the human kingdom with the demon tyrant. . . and to think he was so close to unlocking it. . ." the other man inturrupted, sending a quick glare to his son before looking back at the crystal ball in front of him, showing izuku and shigaraki in the human kingdom
"father? what do you mean?"
". . . it's nothing. . . but i wonder. . ." as the other man trailed off, black flames forming around his hands, "uh- father you can't! using magic could ki-"
"ENOUGH!!! not another word from you. . ."
". . . yes sire. . ."
