in a hospital a scenario where in a kid's perspective, he is talking to someone bedridden that appears to be his sick mom

"Toshi, what do you want to be when you grow up?" she asked while peeling an apple

"Anything that does not involved being a hero" he answered

"Why is that?" she asked

"Theyre too much of a show off and it bothers me" he answered

"Well, we all have different opinions to that matter" she said with a calm voice

"Do you have something you want as well?" he asked out of curiousity

"I guess I want everything....to disappear"

the ground is trembling and the trees are thrown in the air like it was nothing.

A gigantic dark shadow appears to be indiscriminately attacking Ashura, Tokoyami's father. He is dodging swiftly, but is still pushed back by its force

following in the trail is Ai running towards the skirmish

"Fine, I guess I'll use this" he said as he creates a gigantic fist made out of magma

Dark Shadow counters but he jump up to dodge and release a heavy blow for Dark shadow.

the impact caused rubbles and dust to fly all over the area. the dust clears and Dark shadow appears to catch his attack with one arm

"my turn" dark shadow said and replied with a reaching palm that intends to thrust his opponent

as its supposed to hit him, he released a powerful heatwave that slowed Dark Shadow's attack and made him dodges it with ease

Dark Shadow was pissed and flew a higher level. He looks down, screams loudly and a flow of sound pressure was intended to crush everything

the attack caused an even more greater impact and appears to create a crater

He dug his way up after being buried with the rubbles using lava pressure. being heavily damaged, he intend to attack once more

this time, he created a series of fists made of magma as a sure hit attack.

the light coming from the attacks weakens Dark Shadow a little as he was forced to become more defensive

Tokoyami is engulf inside Dark Shadow. He is floating in the dark as he feels no hope of controlling dark shadow. He slowly recovered a little consciousness after feeling a warmth of light. He tries to move but can't.He however knows what dark shadow hear and see

he tried his best to control his quirk and made Dark Shadow go even more stationary and defensive

"stop holding me back! I need to retaliate" Dark shadow said to Tokoyami as it is getting weaker

Tokoyami did not followed

"that old woman just now" his father said

Tokoyami was disturbed and stopped, "what about her?" he asked and Dark Shadow expressed the same gesture

"Trashes like her needs to be taken out" he replied with a dreadfull smile

Tokoyami lashes out with every bit of his anger and hatred

Dark Shadow responsively replied with rage and intended for the kill. Tokoyami seems to have lost connection to him as his size expanded even bigger as he prepared another attack.

Upon releasing a powerful blow using a palm thrust, the pressure blown up every bit of magma that Ashura produced after he tried to use it as shield.

He was again buried with giant rubbles and debris as the crater gets even more bigger and causes a big earthquake

Dark Shadow stays in the air and shouted a cry to show its dominance

Ashura dug his way up again and appears to have cool off since steam is going out from his body.

Dark Shadow noticed and observed

Ashura placed his hand on the ground and it trembled mildly. The magma underneath erupted in the surface

He absorbed the magma and created a giant beast armor out of it. The flames from the magma became blue and raging

"Its over" he said

"What happened?" Sol said as she regains consciousness. Not noticing the blood streaming on her head, she crawled towards the inn after being momentarily paralyzed.

A shroud of flames landed right at the inn and it was Ashura. followed a half unconscious Tokoyami who felt right after. He then absorbed the fire all around the area and reverted back to his normal self

Sol hide and listened while in the ground unseen

"Your emotions are hindering you from being the best version of yourself" Tokoyami's father said

"Take back what you said to her" Tokoyami tried and said

"you need to lose that weak part of yourself. Prioritizing the safety of others over oneself is just a stupid excuse for the weak. Listen, ever since the reign of humanity once status can be dictated by power he or she posses alone. By proving once power to whom is more dominating created conflicts that change the world everyone lives in. Even though a concept of equality tells that everyone is equal, their individual potential and abilities elevate one over the other. We pursue the idea of peace even though we used power using war, destruction, and fear in order for it to happen or for the one wished it to see. Everyone has their insecurities and jealousy over other who they view better than them, they try all sort of way to somehow solve that issue and by that they yearned for power. The society every people worked hard to construct is always ruled under a supreme leader that has the capability to change everything. The mentality to control or surpass something is engraved deeply in humanity" his father narrated. "By that said, selflessness hinders you from attaining great power"

"Only a monster thinks that kind of way" Tokoyami said

"If I, a human, treated to as a monster, that might explain why demons always live beneath us, why god banished us for having the sin of knowledge, and angels only meet us when we're already dead" he replied." It only means that from the beginning there was always a mistake to our creation, a curiousity that made as yearn for something that lead to our exile. A power that can make us gods, but as was what we are intended, there was always a shortcoming and restriction to that. But by that one mistake, we broke the rules that lead us to ways that portrays many temptations. The mistake we had from the beginning made was what we thought to be correct now, we never tried to change instead we warp reality for it to fit our convenience and conscience" he replied

"I can't be swayed by something so vague and debatable Old man" Tokoyami answered

"One day you'll see, and I hope you find a solution to it" He said

Tokoyami faints and Ai carries him back

"I feel heavy" Sol said as she lost her consciousness due to fatigue and concussion

"Where am I?" Sol wakes up in her room

"You've been asleep for days" a man beside her said

"Dad?" Sol said

"To think youre sneaking out to your cousins house just to wander in the woods. Now look where that bring you. We found you in the forest all alone bruised and unconciousness. Tell me what have been doing there except for the fact youre just playing around" her dad said

Sol thinks for a second and said, "I cant remember anything"

"Its all right rest for now, your mom will arrive here soon to nurse you back to health" her said to calm Sol up

Sol and her mom is in a car while her father is driving

"Its been 2 months after that incident. So take it as an example to be careful next time" her mom said

"Will do" Sol replied

Her father noticed a shabby inn after driving past it and said "I wonder if people still visits that old inn?"

"From what I heard, it was long abandoned after the owner left it due to bankrupcy" her mom replied

Sol felt a cold breeze but never wavered as she portrays a cold expression
