Back to "Normal"

Leonidus' Overdrive ignited around him, he effortlessly dispatched the small time Pro Heroes, he then clashed with Endeavor.

"Ah, old man, you're my favorite Pro Hero! Those flames are hot for sure, but they aren't hotter than my Overdrive." Leonidus smiled.

Shoto sent a wave of ice towards Leonidus, he noticed a sharp edge was heading right towards him, an urge to throw Endeavor into it came to his mind.

"𝘒𝘪𝘭𝘭... 𝘒𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘪𝘮..." All-Maker's voice echoed.

Leonidus grabbed Endeavor but took him into the sky, throwing him back down into the concrete. Alyx appeared in front of Shoto, he let loose his flames, but Alyx's fist traveled through them without a problem. His fist slammed against Shoto's cheek, sending him flying across the pavement. Leonidus saw Iida running towards him, Alyx tripped him before glaring at him.

"Like my Grandmother, right?" Leonidus recited.

Alyx slammed his elbow into Iida's back, sending him crashing further into the ground. Tsuyu's tongue wrapped around Leonidus, he grabbed it and sent a shock of Overdrive to her. He held it there until she let go, Alyx pulled her by her tongue, ready to knock her out. Sato tackled Leonidus, putting him through several parked vehicles. Alyx reversed his momentum by flying into the sky, running Sato into a building, slamming his head into nothing but brick.

"It's gonna take all of the sweets in the world to stop me, Sato." Alyx monotoned.

He then bound Sato to the building using his Overdrive. Alyx looked to his right and was knocked back by an explosion.

"That's enough, Leonidus! Stay the fuck down!" Bakugo raged.

Izuku grabbed a hold of Alyx before he hit the ground, "Stop this, Alyx! This isn't you! We can help you right those wrongs!"

"Right those wrongs, after you all refused to let me do that myself?! You of all people... Should know... That what's been done is unforgivable!" Leonidus roared.

His Overdrive burst outward, knocking Izuku and everyone around him away. Alyx took deep breaths in and out, Midoriya sat up next to Uraraka, witnessing the full extent of Leonidus' Gear Four. The markings on his body were glowing a bright red as his scar billowed out his Overdrive.

"I'm not going to kill any of you, I just want you to know what it feels like to tread on death's door." Leonidus vowed.

Shota struggled to push himself up off of the ground, he looked up towards Alyx, noticing the tremendous amount of power he was outputting. Aizawa reached over towards his goggles, grabbing them before stumbling to his feet. Before he could dash off towards Izuku, his Overdrive disappeared, he stopped to look behind him.

"That's... Enough..." Aizawa panted.

Two giant hands wrapped around Leonidus, Mt. Lady held him steady, he tried to struggle out of her grasp but couldn't.

"We don't want to fight you anymore, we only wanted to talk." Midnight told him.

"Let him go, please." Momo added.

Mt. Lady slowly let go of Alyx and he fell to his knees. The rain began to pick up once more. Class A slowly approached Leonidus and stopped as he clutched the hilt of his blade. His hand grew shaky, Leonidus grit his teeth as tears fell down his face.

"You don't understand how many people I've had to kill, just for you all to say sorry, lives that'll never come back. I... You made me break a promise... I'd never take another's life unless they deserved it. So many of those criminals were begging for me to let them go, but I just couldn't!" Alyx yelled.

He tore off the bandages around his arms and threw them to the ground, revealing the self inflicting wounds on them. Yaoyorozu tried to hug him but he pushed her away from him.

"Don't touch me! You all tossed me away like I was nothing, like you were waiting for an excuse to get rid of me! It's all because of my Quirks, isn't it, isn't it?! You didn't wanna believe me even though you all knew deep down that I would never hurt innocent people! You ruined me, you fucking ruined me!" Leonidus cried.

Izuku slowly approached Alyx, he knelt down next to him, placing his hand on his shoulder. Leonidus heard nothing but his own sobs, the only person that was allowed to be near him was Midoriya, everyone remained silent as Izuku comforted his friend.

[Two Days Later...]

Leonidus sat in his hospital bed, staring blankly at the wall in front of him. Class A stood outside of his door, a doctor made his way towards them.

"I'm afraid he's not taking any visitors besides a Mr. Mikaboshi, his family, and a Toshinori Yagi. It seems as if he's in a catatonic like state, but he'll only talk to his visitors." The doctor informed them.

A man approached them, the doctor looked up and smiled at him.

"Ah, speaking of, hello Mr. Mikaboshi!" He greeted.

Amatsu took a more human form, tipping his hat down to greet the doctor. Momo grabbed his arm before he went in.

"Please, you have to let us all in, Amatsu!" Momo begged.

"What? Amatsu? Kid, I have no clue who you are, I'm just a family friend." Mikaboshi replied.

He gently took Yaoyorozu's hand off of his suit sleeve then entered the room. He sat down next to Alyx, placing his hat on his lap.

"I came as soon as I can, my apologies, Alyx. You know you'll have to confront them, you can't bottle up your emotions like this." Mikaboshi spoke gently.

"I know." Alyx responded.

"They're all waiting out there, you were framed, plain and simple. We'll fine Vibraine and he'll pay for the damage he's done, but right now, you have to... No, need to listen to your peers." Amatsu sympathized.

Leonidus looked over towards the door, Class A stood on the other side, watching the door slowly begin to open. Alyx stood in the doorway, before they could say anything, he raised his hand up to stop them.

"I... I'm sorry for everything I've done. It was... Really, really irrational of me to act that way. I should've..." Alyx lamented.

"No, don't apologize, we should've believed you from the start. My comment about your Grandmother was truly the most irrational thing I could've said." Iida interrupted.

Kirishima rubbed his arm, "Yeah... We're sorry, bro."

Leonidus looked over to see that Momo was holding his kimono and earrings. The Class remained silent as Alyx looked to the side.

"I'm sorry for pushing you, Momo." Alyx told her.

"Don't be, I understand." She replied.

She handed him his kimono and earrings, he put them on before taking a deep breath in then out.

"So... Where do we go from here?" Alyx asked.

"Back home, that's where." Aizawa spoke up.

Everyone looked back to see Shota with Principal Nezu on his shoulder, they split a part so that he could stand in front of Alyx.

"U.A. would... I would like to apologize, I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions like that, truthfully, we were all on edge after a villain started making moves around U.A. There definitely was a noticeable gap during the School Festival, and we all felt it." Shota emphasized.

Nezu nodded with him, "Indeed! After quick consideration, we've decided to enroll you back into U.A.!"

"So, what do you say, kid?" Aizawa continued.

He held his hand out to Alyx, he sat there in thought for a bit, Leonidus looked at Shota with a smile on his face. He took his hand before nodding back at him.

[Later That Night...]

Alyx had finally returned to U.A. High after weeks of absence. He sat in his room, ready to fall asleep until there was a knock on his door. Leonidus sluggishly got up from his bed to answer it. Class B's girls and the girls from his class were standing outside of his door with Mina in the front of the pack.

"Hey! We were wondering if you wanna go to the beach with us!" Mina smiled.

"Mina... It's 2 in the morning..." Alyx responded.

"Duh! I know that, just answer my question!" Mina pouted.

Alyx nodded his head, trying not to drift off to sleep, Mina closed his door as he walked away from them. As Leonidus was fast asleep, Amatsu phased out of him, looking at the scars on both of Alyx's arms.

"It seems it's time for the mandatory beach episode..." Amatsu muttered aside.

"Hm? What did you say?" Chiyoko wondered.

She appeared beside Amatsu, he looked over and smiled at her.

"Oh, nothing, Lady Chiyoko. I was talking to myself." Mikaboshi replied.

Chiyoko stepped towards his balcony door, "This place still hasn't forgiven him, at least, most of it hasn't. Even with the truth out there..."

"All he needs is a chance to redeem himself. Whenever that may be, I can only hope that it'll be soon." Amatsu told her.

As the next day came, Leonidus stood on the beach by himself, looking around for everyone else. He started smelling something rather... Perverse.

"Hey, you're that Leonidus kid from Class A, right?" He asked.

Leonidus looked down, "Oh, hello! You'd be right, and you're that one kid from the Sports Festival... Mineta? Right?"

"Huh, looks like my greatness does rub off on others!" Mineta smugly boasted.

"I just read your mind to get your name, Mineta." Leonidus replied.

Mineta's prideful look was immediately washed away. The others arrived shortly afterwards, both classes were having fun on the beach, until they noticed that Leonidus had been sitting by himself the entire time. He sat on the edge of the shore, looking across towards the horizon. Yaoyorozu sat down next to him, noticing the hardened look on his face, she let out a sigh as she looked towards the horizon as well.

"Have you ever wondered how different life would be if you stayed where you were?" Alyx wondered.

"I can't say I have, Alyx. What made you think of that?" Momo disagreed.

"Ever since I came here, it's been misfortune after misfortune, I guess it really started after my Grandmother created that group of Villains." He responded.

Momo placed her hand on his, "And it's those misfortunes that have shaped you into who you are today. All of those experiences, as painful as some of them were, you're stronger because of that. You're tough, and I love that about you."

Alyx looked over and smiled at her. He then caught a volleyball that was aimed right for his head without looking.

"Holy shit! That was freakin' sick!" Kaminari beamed.

"You two wanna join? We're playing Quirk Volleyball!" Itsuka shouted to them.

"I don't mean to be rude but, I'd demolish you guys in Quirk Volleyball!" Alyx responded.

"Heeeey! What's that supposed to mean, huh?!" Mina scowled.

Alyx shrugged his shoulders, "I'm just calling it, I'm the strongest student out of both classes! I mean, defeating a Reality Destroying Entity, being able to go head to head with most Pro Heroes, I even gave Mirio a run for his money! Not trying to brag, but I'm just a step above the rest."

Everyone at the beach looked at Leonidus with annoyed eyes. Alyx looked around him to see the looks on his peers' faces.

"What? I'm saying the truth!" Leonidus continued.

"Yeah yeah, and I'm the fuckin' Tooth Fairy, Leonidus." Bakugo rolled his eyes.

"Besides," Monoma spoke up, "I doubt you could truly hold a candle to Class B! I've heard about that Father of yours, he seems to be just as much of a showoff as you!"

Everyone clammed up as Monoma laughed, they were relieved when they heard Leonidus laugh with him. Everyone began to nervously laugh, not paying attention to either Monoma or Alyx. Leonidus' laughter suddenly stopped as he stared Monoma down with cold, hate filled eyes. The festivities continued, meanwhile at U.A., Aizawa looked through Alyx's room. He leaned on the desk, something clicked and dropped a notebook on the ground. Shota knelt down to pick the notebook up off the floor.

"What's this? A hidden compartment?" Aizawa wondered.

Shota began to look through the notebook, as he flipped through the pages, he read about Leonidus' thoughts on U.A.'s supposed traitor. In red pen, Aoyama's name was circled!

"Aoyama? Out of all people, why would it be him?" Shota pondered.

He looked at the bullet points underneath his name, "Different smell... Odd behavior around myself... Frequent nightly phone calls... Ties to 𝘩𝘪𝘮..."

Shota put the notebook back in the hidden compartment, he then left Alyx's room with an idea in mind. Back on the beach, Hagakure was poking Leonidus' back with a plastic shovel.

"Hey, hey! I gotta question, what was that white hair thingy you did a couple months ago?" She inquired.

"Hm? You mean 'Infinite Mode'? Well, the truth is, I didn't do it on my own." Alyx replied.

"Woah, wait for real?" Sero chimed in.

Alyx nodded at him, "Yeah, Boshi helped me out! If he didn't give me his powers, we all would've been screwed! In order for me to really use it, I gotta master at least all of my current Gears including Gear Five. So far, I've only mastered 2 of them, my Base Gear and Gear One. Funny enough, I'm constantly in Gear One! I just don't have the aura around me."

"So that's why you're hair is spiky all the time!" Mina giggled.

She patted the top of Alyx's head, "Pretty much! Just like my Total Concentration Breathing, I can maintain my Gear One variant 24/7 now."

"Oi! We got fucking ice cream, fuckers!!" Bakugo screamed.

The students quickly hurried over towards Katsuki, he had a cooler of ice cream and popsicles for everyone! The kids sat around each other, Bakugo shooed away seagulls as Kirishima and Sero bet on who could eat their ice cream the quickest. All the while, Leonidus sat next to Izuku as they ate their ice cream.

"Hey, Izuku..." Leonidus spoke up.

"Yeah, what is it, Alyx?" He answered.

"Thank you for what you did back at the All Might Statue Plaza. You're the only one that didn't think about hurting me." Alyx told him.

"But everyone else..." Izuku started.

He stopped talking, remembering that Alyx can look into people's thoughts, he heard Alyx's ice cream cone crack as his fingers slightly trembled around it.

"H-Hey, you're ice cream's gonna break!" Izuku pointed out.

"Sorry, I know, I've just been getting these weird thoughts in my head ever since I left U.A. It's almost like I've got a third person living in my body now! Kill this, kill that, you know. The funniest thing is though, that voice almost sounds just like my Dad's." Alyx lethargically chuckled.

"Do you ever listen to it?" Midoriya asked.

"When I was Foxhound, I did, it was the only thing in my head." He answered.

Izuku looked at the ground for a bit, "...I don't know if this would make a difference, but Yaoyorozu was really adamant on keeping everything in your room in place. She actually slept in your room until we found you. She really does love you, you know."

"That's... That's really nice." Alyx smiled.

The two conversed back and forth, all the while, Izuku kept thinking the same thing over and over again.

"𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘴 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘪𝘮?" He pondered.

"So, what was this about some tournament you were talking to me about?" Alyx asked.

"Oh, right... Ms. Joke was wanting to put together a little tournament for bragging right between her and Mr. Aizawa! It'll be both of our classes against her best students." Izuku informed him.

"I see, that's cool I guess." Alyx replied.

Izuku tilted his head, "Huh? I thought you'd be excited about that?"

"It'll be another time that I'll lose control, I can already tell. Hey, listen, I'm gonna head back to the dorms." Leonidus told him.

Izuku didn't argue with him as Alyx got up and walked away. He walked into the men's restroom, planting his hands on the sink.

"Amatsu... Why do I still hear it?" Leonidus wondered.

"He still lingers, my apologies, my Father has a habit of overstaying his welcome. That necklace you recovered off of that Villain, it must've had some sort of effect on you. I'm glad I stepped in when I did, you would've been lost indefinitely, that necklace... I believe I have discarded it." Amatsu relayed.

Leonidus splashed water on his face, "What do you mean you believe? I thought discarding it meant erasing it from reality?"

"That would go against the Laws of Reality, Leonidus. I have discarded it in the only way I possibly could. The object is currently being displayed in a highly secure jewelry store, it's worth millions." Mikaboshi disclosed.

"So, basically prepare for some millionaire to buy the necklace, then for said person to go bat shit crazy?" Leonidus assumed.

"Correct." Mikaboshi confirmed.

Leonidus nodded and sighed as he turned the water off, he looked up into the mirror to see All-Maker staring right back at him.

"AHAHAHA!!" All-Maker cackled.

Alyx blankly stared at the reflection as All-Maker continued to laugh. Leonidus left the room, the reflection of All-Maker stopped laughing and smiled. Hands then wrapped around his throat, bringing him to the ground, he saw Leonidus standing over him. After a few seconds, All-Maker stopped breathing, Alyx finally let go of his neck.

"Leonidus... H-How did you...?" Mikaboshi stuttered.

He didn't respond, he simply turned away and left the restroom, Alyx started his walk back to U.A. High. Everyone he passed by noticed the unusually menacing vibe that surrounded him.

"𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥'𝘴 𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘴... 𝘛𝘰𝘮𝘶𝘳𝘢... 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘳? 𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦!" Alyx thought.

Leonidus detoured from his route to U.A. High, making his way towards the League of Villains' new hideout. He was able to track them thanks to his sense of smell. Alyx's appearance changed, his eyes were now a rose color, filled with nothing but evil. A staff appeared at his side as he hovered above the League's hideout. Alyx blasted a huge hole in the roof of the hideout, he looked down upon Toga, Twice, and Spinner.

"My, my... Your boss mustn't be home! No matter, I'll be taking one of you with me!" Alyx grinned.

Alyx quickly blasted back Twice with his staff, restraining him against a wall, he landed down on the ground in front of Toga and Spinner. Spinner lunged towards Leonidus, using his staff, Alyx cut Spinner's sword in half. A bright blue fist of magic blasted out of the tip of the staff. Toga stood there in disbelief, Leonidus slowly turned around to face her, she froze as she saw someone else's face on Leonidus' body.

"Surprised to see me?!" Arlen exulted.

Vibraine quickly floated over to Toga and grabbed her by the throat, Twice tried to break free from the concrete that surrounded his arms.

"Let go of her! Yeah, get your hands off of her, you bastard!" Twice shouted.

Arlen looked over towards him, "How about this... Tell your boss to come find me, or I'll blow this little lemonade stand you've got here! Oh! While you're at it, let the people know that Leonidus is dead!"

Vibraine's laugh echoed throughout the warehouse before he vanished with Himiko. The restraints around Twice broke and he rushed over towards Spinner.

"Fuck... How did that bastard know where we were?" Spinner wondered.

"I'm not sure, we just gotta stay calm and think through this. I'm fucking freaking out right now!" Twice responded.

Spinner and Twice gathered their barrings and headed out to search for Vibraine.

[Several Hours Later...]

Leonidus awoken once more, still tied to the chair that Vibraine left him a bloody mess in. He struggled to turn his head to see Toga sitting next to him, the dimly lit room was only accompanied by the smell of dried blood, dust, and oil. Himiko stared straight ahead, not making a single noise, as Vibraine was rustling through a cabinet in the other room. He peeked his head into the room and gave them both a smile.

"Oops! I forgot to grab a blade sharpener! Sit tight my adorable friends, I'll be right back!" Arlen bubbled.

Arlen left the shack, leaving Toga and Leonidus alone with each other. Toga looked over at Leonidus who looked to be on the cusp of death.

"We need to get out of here, ya here me?" Toga whispered.

"There... is... N...o... use... H-He won't..." Alyx croaked.

"That freaks got you screwed up in the head, don't he? Let me lick that blood off of you!" Toga argued.

Toga scooted the chair inch by inch towards him, she eventually made her way over to him.

"The dumbass doesn't even know my Quirk, buuuuut this means I get free blood~" Toga giggled.

She licked the side of Leonidus' face, using her Quirk, she transformed into an exact copy of Alyx. Using his strength, Himiko broke free from her binds, her Quirk deactivated shortly afterwards. Toga lightly slapped Alyx's face rapidly, waking him up.

"Hey! I can't have you dyin' on me! Come on!" Toga huffed.

She bit off his restraints, freeing him from his chair, Leonidus crumbled to the ground. Himiko helped him stand up to his feet, throwing his arm around her shoulder.

"W-Why... Are you... Helping me?" Alyx wondered.

"As much as I hate you hero guys, there's something different about you that I just love, almost like my sweet little Deku. Except, this feels more profound..." Toga smirked.

The two left the shack, stepping outside to reveal themselves to be deep in the dense forests of Mount Oyama! They booked it a couple miles away from the shack before resting, Himiko found Leonidus' pouch and searched through it.

"This some sorta drug pouch or somethin'? I didn't think a golden boy like you would do that!" Himiko remarked.

"N-No...! My Overdrive... U-Use it..." Alyx exclaimed.

She pulled the last vial out of his pouch and poured it on her hands. Alyx slightly nodded, Toga placed her hands on him, healing up most of his wounds. Leonidus took a sharp, deep breath in, he then coughed up blood. He sat up on his own, closing his pouch and destroying the vial in his hands.

"Thank you. Now, where are we supposed to go from here?" Alyx questioned.

"Dunno, don't ask me that! I'm just as lost as you are, not to mention you're a Hero. If we weren't in this situation, I'd of covered myself in your blood by now." Himiko smiled.

Leonidus used a tree to prop himself up, "Well, we're in this situation together, we gotta get out of here before Arlen finds us. Do your League buddies know you're gone?"

Toga nodded her head before looking away from Alyx. The two began their walk through the forest, stopping every once in a while to make sure nobody was following them. As nightfall came, they sat in front of a fire, taking turns sleeping until neither of the two could fall asleep.

"You know, you could've easily killed me while I was sleeping." Alyx noted.

"I thought about it, but yeah, I could've. What's your shtick, huh? Tryin' to make sure I don't at the end of this?" Toga agreed.

"No, in all honesty, you're more than welcome to try and kill me once we're done here. You're a misguided person, someone life has treated harshly, I couldn't ever hate you. That's not a shtick, is just who I am. If you want to kill me, go ahead, just know that it won't happen." He admitted.

Toga sat there in silence, twiddling her thumbs, looking at the knife in her pouch. She looked back up at Leonidus, staring deep into his eyes, he showed no fear. Toga could also tell that he wasn't planning to stop her before she made a move, she could easily reach for her knife and bring it to his throat. She didn't however, finally realizing that even though they were polar opposites, the two shared one thing in common.

"You've killed before too, haven't you? You know what that rush feels like." Toga softly spoke.

"I have. I'm not proud of it, I never will be, but I have. I've been taught to take my opponents down lethally, since I first developed my Quirk. My childhood was filled with nothing but training, my Father was obsessed with wanting a successor, my Mother eventually felt the same way as him. They never abused me, the only thing they did was scold me whenever I tried to play with the neighboring kids instead of training." Leonidus explained.

Alyx looked into the fire, "That's why I sympathize with Villains, their pasts started off like mine, none of them had a truly good childhood. Everyone wonders why Villains are created when they're the ones creating them. I don't want to hurt any of you, but that's where we take different paths, our judgements are completely different. I could go on and on about how it's wrong to you, but you'll never change your ways, being you're dead set on them. But I don't blame you one bit, never have, never will."

"Shiggy killed your Father, wouldn't you at least want payback for that?" Toga asked.

"I do, but I'll never stoop to a level where that vengeance consumes me. My Dad wouldn't want me to do that, he wouldn't want me to use my Quirk to inflict terror into people's minds." Leonidus nodded.

"That kinda sounds boring, but I getcha. It's not what you are, it's who you are, that generic stuff?" Toga replied.

"Yeah, that generic stuff." Alyx slightly chuckled.

A cold wind rushed into the forest, extinguishing the campfire in front of them, the two froze up as the area around them shifted and changed. Himiko grabbed Leonidus' arm, holding her knife in the other hand, a huge blinding light was cast upon them. They looked up into the sky, seeing Arlen smiling down on them.

"Let's play a little game, it's my favorite one! It's called 'Soul Searching'! If I guess your soul right, you die... Your souls will be represented by Tarot Cards." Arlen proposed.

Arlen lifted his staff up and pointed it towards Leonidus first, "𝘏𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘭 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦... 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘶𝘯!"

Arlen closed his eyes and reopened them to a completely dark void, he was suddenly frozen with terror as a huge pair of glowing yellow eyes stared back at him. The giant entity slowly made itself known, blood dripping from it's agape mouth, it slowly floated out of the darkness. It's eyes sparked to life with white hot flames, it's skeletal figure pulsated in some places where organs should have been. Instead, mounds of bodies were calling out to Arlen.

"𝘛-𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘶𝘯... 𝘐-𝘐𝘵'𝘴... 𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥!" Arlen panicked.

The creature raised pointed it's finger at Arlen, the bodies attached to itself all clawed away at each other, falling off and splattering on the ground. They reformed into horrendous amalgamations of flesh, screaming as they made their way to Arlen. He quickly shot open his eyes once more, looking at Leonidus, Himiko was just as horrified as he was!

"What's wrong, Arlen? Not what you expected?" Alyx smirked.

"T-The World... Why was your soul... It was upright... Why was it upright?!" Arlen shrieked.

"I've got loose ends to tie up still, that's what else that card means. You made a mistake kidnapping Toga, because now that I'm free, I'm pissed. And this place looks like a great place to let loose." Leonidus told him.

Red and black smoke began to surround Alyx, he began to laugh as he put his hand on the left side of his face. Six Rage Arms burst out of his back as the left side of his face blasted out blood. His laughter stopped as he took a deep breath in, Alyx's head dropped, Toga licked her lips with excitement as she got ready to fight. A devious smile formed on Alyx's face as he opened his eyes, revealing his left eye to be a mixture of a red and black haze.

"Whadda say, Himiko, let's add 'em to our body count!" Alyx exulted.
