It was late in the evening, and Sylvia had just started her patrol. The sun had almost vanished completely from the sky.
Most of her classmates were either back at school or doing their Hero Work Studies.
The hero she was working with, assigned her to be at Musutafu. The streets had some life, people walking home from a late shift, or finishing a late evening errand before almost everything closed.
The sidekick of the hero told her she would be close by just in case something happens.
Sylvia didn't particularly like starting her patrol this late, since that was a trade-off for more sleep.
Sylvia: Great...I feel like Aizawa-Sensei...
Normally Eeasherhead wouldn't even be able to start his shift early, but he had finished grading and lesson planning sooner than expected. Normally he'd then use the time before shift for a short nap.
Another hero would had an emergency though and he was left to pick up the slack with the promise that he would also get to end his patrol early.
Sylvia: (Ha, as if that would happen. I'm sure Mr. Grumpy loved his jobs though, even if sees us, his students, that passed his expectations being a pain in his ass. XD)
Mikoto had told her this place was Izuku's hometown. Within the few people who still wandered the streets, and keep her ears open for trouble. She didn't expect much. Any criminal in waiting would choose to stay in hiding till the dark had fully encompassed the city.
The last crime-related incident that happened around here was the Sludge Villain Incident.
She wondered did Bakugo ever recovered from that?
Going through an experience like that is traumatizing.
Suddenly, her thoughts have been caught off when she heard a explosion and people running.
She turned her head to at the location see what was going on.
Gunshots and screams echoed everyone everywhere near a bank.
Sylvia: A bank robbery, huh...Alright...let me look into this...
-Plus Ultra-
Mikoto was worried...
Just as he was getting ready to meet up with Tsuyoi-Senpai and Taka-Sensei. He noticed Izuku looking grim.
Mikoto: Izuku...?
Deku: ?!
Midoriya jumped out of the state he was in and noticed that Mikoto was riht behind...
Deku: O-Oh Miichan...Hey...
Mikoto: What's wrong...? Looks like something on your mind. Does it have something to do with the Hero Work Studies Program?
Deku:.....Miichan...Is it okay if we talk...
Mikoto:...?!
Usually Izuku would say he's fine and would want to leave conversation as that so Mikoto wouldn't worry...so for him to actually talk about how he's actually feeling was a bit out of character...this startled Mikoto a bit but he nodded.
Mikoto: Alright... What's on your mind...
Deku:..
Izuku then started explaining the reason is a deep state of thought about the events that occurred; Sir Nighteye revealed to be All Might's former sidekick, Mirio who was supposed to be All Might's successor and the possible abuse that a little girl named Eri is going through due to her connection with Overhaul.
This murkiness kept getting worse which has been causing Izuku to lose focus in class. Unable to keep going like this, a frustrated Izuku goes to the staff room to find All Might. Midnight had told Izuku that All Might was out jogging. Once he confronted All Might...he demanded him to tell him the truth...
Mikoto: What....So Nighteye wanted Mirio to have All Might's quirk after he retired but he's upset that you have it...?
Deku:....Yes...
Mikoto made a frown. If he didn't like Nighteye before...he didn't like him now...hearing Izuku side of the story made Nighteye sound like a jerk...
Izuku was frustrated with all these new developments and is angry that he is being denied without knowing anything; worst of all, he doesn't know All Might's hidden intentions which is why he was unable to focus.
Mikoto felt the same way due to the fact that he was carrying a lot of burdens under the belt.
Deku: I just doesn't understand why All Might didn't tell me these important details...
Mikoto: IDK why either why. You're not just his fan but as his successor. He should've told you this by now...Damnit All Might...
All Might had told his story...
Like Riku had explained some time ago to him, Mikoto learned that Sir Nighteye was a huge fan of his and wanted to be his sidekick, but All Might refused.
However, Nighteye was so persistent that All Might eventually let Nighteye be his side kick. Nighteye was the brains of his operations since his physical abilities weren't that impressive.
Izuku understands that Sir Nighteye took on a supporting role while All Might fought on the front lines and they got along well. All Might agrees that he and Sir Nighteye got along well, but six years ago, they dissolved their partnership due to his injuries and because of the differences in their values.
Mikoto: And he wanted All Might to retired huh...?
Deku: Yeah...All Might refuses too since the world was waiting for his return and he wanted to answer their pleas...
Mikoto:.....
Sir Nighteye tells All Might that his grievous injuries will cause agony for all parties involved and his respiratory system is completely damaged. Sir Nighteye had begged All Might to retire and let his legend live on for the sake of the peace he desires. Nezu agrees with Sir Nighteye and tells All Might that he can look for a One For All successor at U.A, to which Sir Nighteye finds Nezu's idea to be the best solution.
All Might asks who the Symbol of Peace will be until he finds that successor. Even though All For One is gone, they live in a society of superhumans and another All For One will eventually appear. Sir Nighteye helps All Might to his feet and understands the importance of the Symbol of Peace, but if he keeps pushing himself, All Might will no longer be able to smile.
If All Might plans on continuing as a Hero, Sir Nighteye states that he will stop supporting him. All Might notices that Nighteye was "looking" at him with his Quirk. Sir Nighteye tries get All Might to agree, with him saying that even if he retires, the next Number One Hero will eventually rise and although that "short while" will be difficult they may be able to ward the villains off.
But that didn't work at all...since the period of fear last for a short while..
Deku: Miichan...
Mikoto: Yeah Buddy...
Deku: All Might had stated that when me being "Quirkless" had made me a befitting candidate over the others. Sir Nighteye was pretty upset about that decision. He even told me that I was not fit to hold the power for One For All...
Mikoto: (Well screw him....)
Deku: All Might also told me that after their heated debate over the succession of One For All, Nighteye took it upon himself to cultivate Mirio Togata, whom he believed to be the truly appropriate successor.
Izuku had asks Toshinori when Nighteye used his Foresight, when did it say that his death would occur and whether Nighteye's Foresight can be changed.
However, Toshinori's answer crushes Izuku's hopes...
Deku: Miichan...
Mikoto: Yes...
The next time Izuku talk made the silence turned to soul-sucking tension.
Deku: Since he had used so much of his power that his body couldn't take no more......
All Might's time would occur in six to seven years and although there is a margin of error of his estimation into far events into the future, there is no changing what he sees in his Foresight....
And since those five to six years had already passed....
Deku: All Might could die this year...
Mikoto:...........
This was the harsh truth of their grim reality...
-Meanwhile-
Twice: HAH?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE HAVE TO WORK FOR THEM?!/SO UNFAIR AND STUPID!!!
At the League Of Villains Hideout, Shigaraki had made some thinking after the incident with Overhaul.
After a lot of thinking, he's finally been brought to a decision where he has no choice...
His decision led to Twice's outburst and the other League of Villains were staying silent but quietly disagree...
Juurou: I really don't think this a good idea... especially what they done to Shiromi and Magne...
Shigaraki: Yeah...I know... Don't make me keep saying it...but their plan has enough potential.
Niko: *Growls*
Shigaraki: Toga and Twice. Niko and Juurou. You'll be working with the Yakuza for now on.
Miyumi: No! I won't let Juurou go with them!
Juurou: Miyumi... It's okay...
Miyumi: But...
Juurou: I'll be fine. Plus, Niko will be there to keep an eye out for things if they try anything...
Miyumi:.....
Twice: WHAT DO YOU MEAN POTENTIAL?!! CAN YOU BE THE LEADER IF YOU JUST PRETEND TO KEEP COOL?!
Dabi:...
Spinner:....
Miyumi:....
Compass:....
Twice: Are you being influenced by that Mask Bastard?!! Niko! Toga-chan! Say something...
Niko:....Those guys suck...Honestly...
Coming in here...threatening us to work with them...kill two of our comerades...Then agree for them to get what they want and leave us in the dust...that pisses me off...Tell me Shigaraki...Why should I work with those dicks?
Toga: Hehe~! I agree! I want to live in a world where I can do what I want and live easily~!
Toga did a little twirl like a ballerina before pointing her knife at Shigaraki's throat...
Toga: So Tomura-kun. Why should I do something that's so hard that I don't want to do?
Shigaraki:...
Niko: You're planning something aren't you? You are aware they're going to use us in order to achieve their goals? That's the reason why you want us to do this...isn't that right?
Shigaraki: Yes...Well...
Shigaraki then took off his mask shocking the whole group...
Shigaraki: It's for me and for you guys...
Toga, awestrucked, pulled her knife away as he continued.
Shigaraki: They probably want to restrict our mobility. I never thought of them as equals. I...trust you guys...
Toga:....
Juurou:....
Twice:...
Villains:....
Niko:...(Heh~! Looks like someone's finally growing up.)
After this, Niko and the others begrudgingly join the Yakuza Group.
