Third pov
"Go with Rappa." Overhaul instructed Yoshito.
"Eh? But Shiyoko-"
"She will be with us." Chronostasis, the second in command after Overhaul appeared. Yoshito nodded.
"Hai..." So he followed instructions. First he knelt down and gave Shiyoko a kiss silently preparing himself for whatever Overhaul had planned.
I hope they stay safe. He thought looking back to see the two girls holding hands again after a week of being separated. They were holding onto each other rather tightly.
They all went down different halls when out of nowhere Overhaul stopped. He inhaled slowly letting out a long sigh.
"So... They've come..."
+_+ +_+ +_+
+_+ with Yoshito +_+
Yoshito had followed behind Rappa and the other man, Tengai, or something, to fight the heroes that fought to bring them down. He was mentally debating with himself how he was going to help the heroes without drawing too much attention to himself.
A loud hit brought him out of his thoughts and he looked up seeing through the darkness and seeing a boy around his age, probably younger embedded into the wall. He had red spiked hair and hardened skin.
He's... Kirishima, I think. Katsuki's classmate and close friend. He looked to the pro hero still taking Rappa's hits. And Fat gum.
As instructed by Tengai, the one who had a dome for a quirk, he stayed hidden as the two fought and protected each other. Yoshito was to try and heal or protect them if things took a turn. He was the third, a spiked wall. As he had put it.
Seriously...what is this guy's name? We've trained with him many times before why can't I remember? Tengai is what Rappa calls him but is that even his name? Yoshito sighed closing his eyes so he wouldn't give himself a headache.
His body was twitching to drown the entire room in water so he could escape and hopefully get Shiyoko and Eri away from Overhaul, so they could all run away. But he doubted he could so his thoughts were irrational. Not that it was stopping him from having them.
Seeing Rappa and Tengai so involved in the fight with Fat gum Yoshito used the darkness to his advantage and snuck around to Kirishima. He saw the helpless look on the boys face as he stood there shaking a bit and looking conflicted with if he should move or not.
"Don't, make a sound." Kirishima froze at the sound of his voice he glared to his right seeing the taller boy there. For a split second he had thought it was Shiyoko but that was before it registered that this was a boy and he was around his age, possibly older.
"Kirishima right? The unofficial brother to Shiyoko." Kirishima gasped eyes widening. "She told me your quirk. Hardening. She said she's always felt safe in your arms knowing that no matter what she was protected." The boy shifted pointing at Fat gum "I can see it on your face, and I understand how helpless you must be feeling right now but...are you going to let your fear stop you, or will you break passed it so help everyone save my sisters?"
"Sis...ters?" The boy nodded.
"I am Shiyoko's biological brother. And like what Shiyoko is to you, I am to Eri. But I couldn't save them...so...please....I'm counting on you all....save my sisters!" Yoshito formed a thin ice layer over Kirishima stopping his blood from running.
Kirishima shivered a bit at the cold before he flexed to get used to it. His mind still deep in thoughts. Then he stopped thinking and finally moved and he stood, blocking Rappa's punches.
"YOU!! YOU'RE EXCELLENT!" Rappa laughed joyously as Kirishima stood his ground.
"AAAHHHH!!" words never left his mouth in his unbreakable form but he could move and he went in for the finishing blow only to hit a dome.
"You didn't!" Rappa spun to the point of whiplash to glare at Tengai.
"Of course I would. Devoid of options before a sheild all he could do, is fall..." Tengai spoke calmly watching Kirishima's quirk deactivated as he fell.
"Oh, there was a point alright!" Out of the smoke came fat gum but he was no longer fat.
Yoshito's brows shot up at the sight of the well toned man and did the sensible thing at the moment. He stepped aside and turned his body to water.
"GET A TASTE OF THE MANLY HEART, OF THE HERO NAMED; RED RIOT!!" Gum screamed out blasting a punch straight through Tangai's done and hitting both him and Rappa. Once the blow had landed and the smoke began to clear Yoshito turned himself back into water.
"Ah...you destroyed the room..." he spoke up surprising the hero.
A third?! Dammit, I don't have anymore stamina left! Fat scolded.
"This ain't over... I ain't dead yet...this is a fight to the death!" Rappa wheezed out standing brushed and bloodied everywhere.
"Calm down Rappa, you're in no state to fight."
"Then you fight me!"
"No."
"Then get the shrimp."
"DID YOU NOT HEAR WHAT I JUST SAID!?" Yoshito hit him with water encased fists sending him on his ass. "Come on...there's a first aid room here." He motioned for Fat gum to follow him.
"It's a trap."
"What? Do I look like someone who traps injuried people?" Gum didn't answer "I'M NOT!!!" Yoshito bristled offended.
"You're supposed to be on our side, Yoshito! Overhaul sent you here to obey my commands so do as- guurrggggklee" sudden water appeared over Tengai with such a force it drowned out his words and knocked him unconscious.
"As if I'd ever help that monster." Yoshito glared a dark aura surrounding him. Rappa laughed as they all moved to the infirmary. Yoshito then proceeded to help Fat gum tend to his and Kirishima's injuries. He was so lost in thought that he jumped when Fat gum touched him activating his quirk on instinct.
"Calm down kid. He ain't gonna hurt ya." Surprisingly it was Rappa who got through to him.
"Gomen..." Yoshito calmed down letting the water around him disperse into the air.
"Ah... I was asking how you ended up here?" Fat gave the boy a nervous smile.
"Against my will and for the girls you came to save." This caught the heroes attention "You probably already know the villain Crusher, the fallen hero?" Fat nodded "He's my father. And he's lost his mind. So much so that without a second thought he followed Overhaul and dragged me with him. I who have yet to defeat him in a serious fight had no choice but to follow him, then to further his perfect weapon, he brought Shiyoko in.
She and Eri, their quirks can manipulate bodies. Eri can rewind you out of existence, Shiyoko can attack the cells in your body breaking down your own and rendering you weak and powerless, that is if she doesn't kill you. Overhaul wanted to use them both, and when I tried leaving with them we died." Fat gaped at the extra information he just received.
"So...so you don't work for them?" Yoshito clenched his fists.
"Not once, he had no use for me. I was just the girls babysitter. I couldn't even..." Fat patted the boy's head.
"Maybe, but you kept your head up and gave the girls a safe place in this nightmare. So be proud of yourself." He smiled and for the first time in years, Yoshito felt warmth from an adult praising him.
"Hm...Arigatou!" He cried in relief, this is real. Even if he doesn't make it, at least the girls will.
"Is he healed yet, let me fight him!" Rappa broke through moment.
"No!"
"Tch. Then, let me fight the shrimp."
"You're not fighting her again!"
"Aah!? Why!?"
"She's a child Rappa!!"
"You've faught with a child!?" Fat bristled in shock.
"She ain't no fucking child, she's a tiny woman!"
"What is wrong with you!? She's obviously a kid!!"
"Bullshit! That shrimp packs a fucking punch there's no way she's a child!"
"ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO YOURSELF!?"
