Chapter 27: A New Age

Izuku teleports into one of his hideouts with Dabi and Rigel with him.

The other members saw The Blood Tyrant as they immediately bowed to show respect.

Dabi: Out of the way!

Dabi shouted to clear a path for Izuku as he carries him to one of the medical rooms.

With the amount of blood Izuku lost in his fights, it was a miracle he was still able to stand. Dabi brought out several stitches and disinfectants as he also called for any extra surgeons in the base.

A member immediately rushed over with his own equipment ready. Using his quirk, analysis, he can examine a person's physical state.

He asked Dabi to leave as he began surgery on Izuku, who was still conscious.

Needless to say, Dabi didn't want to get trauma so he scooted out of there immediately.

He went to another room in the base to find Toga on life support. Toga's condition initially wasn't that bad, but due to her not getting medical attention for a very long time, her condition got exponentially worse.

Citrus was without a doubt the worst looking of the group. He was brought to the room with the most high tech equipment just to keep him alive.

Dabi began walking around the base and greeting the other members. Due to Izuku's previous disappearance, the group has shrunk due to many believing The Blood Tyrant is dead. Thus, those who stayed can be called the most loyal members.

Rigel walks along with Dabi as he also doesn't have anywhere to be.

Rigel: Hmm? Is it just me or this base looks a little worn down since my last visit.

Dabi: Yeah, you can say so.

The awkward silence fills the air. Rigel's efforts at starting a conversation was completely shut down by Dabi.

Rigel: So...any plans for the future?

Dabi: Don't know. I'll just wait for Izuku to recover.

Rigel: That's not good you know.

Dabi: Huh?

Rigel puts his palms together as he spoke.

Rigel: In my stargazer group, each member has something they want to accomplish by joining the group, be it revenge or escapism.

Dabi: What does that have to do with me?

Rigel: A person without a plan in mind is merely trying to drag out their time, which is no good in my opinion.

The air around Dabi began to feel dense, it was obvious as day that something struck inside Dabi.

Rigel: Let me ask. Why did you join the Blood Tyrant group?

Dabi: To support Izuku.

Rigel: No, nein, non. I meant YOURRRR ambition.

Rigel stresses the your part to let Dabi understand better if what he is trying to imply.

Irritation grows inside of Dabi, with him being more confused than before.

Dabi: That doesn't explain shit.

Rigel sighs as he walks away from Dabi with his hands in the air, being nonchalant as ever.

Rigel: Just think about it before you decide your next step yeah.

In a instance, Rigel was out of sight as he went around a corridor.

Dabi was left standing there, all alone.

Scene change to Nezu

Nezu had arrived back at UA.

The rescue mission was mostly successful, with minor injuries to the rescue team, well except the ones Dabi incinerated.

Due to the incident of Deika City, the hero association has been receiving more backlash than ever, with many focusing on the fact that the heroes didn't stop Deika city from being destroyed.

The news of Toshinori Yagi or All Might's death has not reached the public yet. Or rather, Nezu is doing everything within his power to stop the news from reaching the public.

The death of Izumi Yagi has struck a cord in both Nezu and the hero commission. They have lost One for All, which was their trump card.

As the genius Nezu is, he is definitely not going to accept defeat so simply.

Nezu walks into a hidden compartment in his office, revealing a button.

He presses the button as his bookshelf suddenly reveals an opening. He walks into the opening as he goes down a few flights of stairs.

He arrives at a white room filled with machines and people dressed in white lab coats. They were doctors of various specialties.

Doctor 1: Good morning Nezu.

Nezu: Good morning. How is he?

Doctor 1: He is still alive, by some miracle.

Nezu: How bad is the damage, no need to sugarcoat.

Doctor 2: On top of his missing arm, he loss 1 eye, both his legs and has a hole through his abdomen.

Nezu: Haiz, this boy, why can't the other 2 survive instead of him.

It doesn't have to be said that Nezu is heavily upset that he lost 2 of his most reliable pawns. But he is kind of sad and glad Toshinori is finally out of the picture.

Nezu walks closer to the boy.

He was suspended in a stasis chamber filled with some unknown liquid. Tubes were coming out of him left and right with many of them pumping some liquid into him.

His machine parts were all taken out beforehand, leaving a big concave hole in his left elbow.

His eyelids were shut so you couldn't tell that he had a missing eye.

The abdomen was held together by rough stitches that was there just to prevent any organs from spilling out.

At this point, the boy looked more liked a corpse than human.

Nezu touches the glass of the stasis tube.

A grin appears on his face as drool began pouring out of his mouth.

Nezu: Katsuki Bakugou, you are going to be my best invention yet.

The other scientist didn't hear what Nezu said, but all knew it wasn't anything good.

Nezu turns around as he puts on a lab coat of own.

Nezu: Now, shall we begin?

Scene change to Hawks

Travel log:

Entry: ???

Food = wild berries, birds, rabbits, insects.

Water = Rain, plant dew.

Monster still after me. Been too long. Beard has grown.

Wings has crumpled. Only big feathers left.

Need find help. Fast.

Scene change to Aizawa

Aizawa is in his room.

He took some time off school to unpack everything that had happened, even he couldn't digest all of that in a day.

Lessons were cancelled for the time being as UA needs time to recover from Deika.

A empty coffee cup was on his bedside as he still lies in his bed, unable to fall asleep.

He recalls everything horrible that had happened to him the past year.

First off, he found out Izuku was alive and was the Blood Tyrant.

Then, his best friends, midnight and present mic, died in a raid against the Blood Tyrant.

Now he had lost the students he vowed to protect.

All these collapse was the direct cause of the Blood Tyrant...which is what he wants to believe.

But the truth is, all these horrible actions were caused by their reaction to the Blood Tyrant.

None of the events would have happened if Toshinori and Nezu had left Izuku alone. However, you can't blame a hero for wanting to take down a villain, since it is literally their job.

Aizawa looks at his phone.

Aizawa: 3am.

Usually, he would be out patrolling at this timing, so right now, he's kind of bored.

He instinctively reach out for his coffee mug beside his bed as he tries to pour the remaining drops of coffee inside his mouth.

Aizawa: Urgg empty.

He gets up from his bed as he exits his room. The halls of the teacher's dorms was quiet. Too quiet.

Aizawa recalls how he would always have prevent mic present to cheer him up whenever he is down like this, with him making as much noise as possible.

And everytime he did that, it would annoy the life of of him. But this time, he misses it.

Aizawa drags his feet through the hallway and into the living room, where the coffee machine was located.

Aizawa: Give me some espresso.

Slowly, the coffee drips into his cup.

Plob

Plob

Plob

Plob

The slow dripping of the coffee unsettles Aizawa a little.

Plob

Plob

Plob

Plob

Wooooooooosh...

Plob

Plob

Woooooooooosh...

The wind feels eerie to Aizawa.

Aizawa picks up the coffee cup as he sips the freshly brewed espresso.

Woooooooooosh...

He downs the cup as he wipes his mouth afterwards.

Aizawa: I need another cup.

Aizawa slowly turns around to get another cup of espresso.

Wooooooooosh!

Aizawa's instinct immediately warns him about impending danger as he drops his cup.

Aizawa: 5...no, 6 people surrounding me. Average distance 10m each. 2 already in my room.

A cold breeze flows through the living room as soft footsteps can be heard. As a pro hero, Eraserhead is always on guard, even when he is off duty.

But, this time, he dropped his guard a little too much, and let these unknown people catch him by surprise.

He really did not expect intruders on UA grounds.

Aizawa: Who are you!

Aizawa demanded as he gets his capture weapon ready.

???: Aw, found out already. As expected from pro hero Eraserhead.

The voice came out from the hallways leading to his room.

He watched as a guy wearing a mask came out of the shadow.

Aizawa immediately throws his capture weapon at him.

???: Slow down there.

As he said that, the capture weapon immediately loses its speed as it fell onto the ground.

???: Get him boys!

The guy shouted as people began appearing around Aizawa, ready to attack him.

A cage of metal suddenly forms around the living room, preventing Aizawa from running.

5 people remain inside the cage with Aizawa with he last one looks to be using the cage quirk, stays outside.

One charges at him with his hands stretched outwards in a hugging pose, like Barney.

Another guy holds 2 knives as he rushes Aizawa from the back.

Aizawa unleashes the full length of his capture weapon as he throws it around the guy with the knives, binding him.

However, another guy with an afro cuts his capture weapon with his arm, causing the knives guy to be free again. Hug guy grabs Aizawa arm, applying enough force to crush his arm.

The force immediately fades away though to the surprise of hug guy. He sees as Aizawa's hair was standing while his eyes were red. It was clear that his quirk was erased.

Aizawa: Arh...

Using his free hand, Aizawa pulls out a pocket knife as he swipes it across the face of hug guy.

This caused hug guy to flinch a little as Aizawa takes the opportunity to kick him away.

Knives guy came up behind him as he slashes Aizawa's back, causing a big wound.

Aizawa endured the pain as he sends a fury of punches at knives guy, sending him back a little.

Afro guy then rushes Aizawa with his hand transforming into a blade. Aizawa takes this chance to bind use knives guy as a shield.

Afro guy hesitates to slash at his comrade. The opening of afro guy gave Aizawa enough time to recompose himself and uppercut him, knocking him out.

Aizawa: 3 down. 2 to go.

With the bleeding from his back, Aizawa struggled to stand up straight as he looked at the remaining 2 intruders.

???: Well, well, you did quite swell, but now, against us, can you excel?

Aizawa prepares his stance as he looks at the final 2 guys.

However, suddenly, he fell down onto the floor, his limbs giving in to weakness.

???: Oh looks like it was the right choice to smear poison onto our blades.

Aizawa: dammit...

Aizawa feels his consciousness slowly drifting away as he tries to get himself up. However, he couldn't even lift his head up.

He hears as the taunting guy walks closer to him, step by step.

???: Don't worry, your quirk will be put to a good cause.

That was the final sentence Aizawa heard before he passed out.
