A smile was drawn on Tomura's pale face as he looked through the dark vortex which appeared in the middle of the space they were at.
He was surrounded by an army of Nomus and many traps, which were specifically prepared to capture Lee.
That's right. His mission was to capture Lee, not to kill him, even though that was the most thing he wanted.
The smile wasn't to express happiness though. Although it looked innocent, it was so vicious and held bloodthirst behind it. He was thinking of his desire to dissolve an egg or two before handing the edgy teenager to his master, All For One.
"Be ready, any moment."
Tomura put his right hand on his neck and caressed it.
He was waiting for Lee to appear along with Kurogiri and the hostage girl. Probably Lee would follow them. Tomura was aware of this, as he had been watching how things went and had been hearing reports. He was leaving now the last step in the plan to Kurogiri.
The time for sweet revenge is very near. His enemy would suffer. And his master, All For One, would gain a very strong Quirk.
Given the fact that he has other Quirks that enhance his strength, All For One would surely make Lee's Quirk stronger, after taking it. And All Might wouldn't be a problem at all.
In no time, a silhouette, with blood following from his neck and other parts, flew out of the vortex and landed next Tomura.
A group of rocks followed out of that portal, like they were bullets, and hit some of the Nomus around.
Tomura looked next to his feet shocked. Kurogiri's neck rings were shattered. Not only so, but there was a big hole there. It was obvious that it was caused by the intention to kill.
"Aghh…"
Kurogiri was unable to talk. He wasn't sure what to say to his young master. He wasn't aware of what had happened. One second, he had been going to take Reiko with him. The other blink, he was in this place, and was about to die?
"Kurogiri, what has happened? Why are you looking like you are going to die."
Tomura asked as his eyes didn't leave Kurogiri. Although he may treat others coldly, this dark fog guy had been his servant for a long time. Even though he was a Nomu made of a corpse.
Tomura was about to send some Nomus through that portal. But the dark fog vanished.
This meant Kurogiri's power had vanished.
Tomura clenched his teeth. How could this happen? After all of that planning, all of that money they paid and all of those villains they hired. How could they simply fail? Now his teacher won't have that Quirk. Most importantly, Kurogiri, his MVP, was now in the most pathetic situation and was about to die.
As he waved his hand, he said, "Sensei, I am sorry, unexpected things had happened."
All For One was hearing everything from his location.
Kurogiri, all of the sudden, was wrapped by dark liquid and vanished in thin air.
Tomura didn't say anything since he knew it was his Sensei's ability.
Silence took over as All For One didn't say anything.
"Damn it."
Tomura started scratching his neck nonstop.
After all of this daydreaming, things turned out in a shitty way, and they were now with the loss of three Nomu, no, four, counting Kurogiri as one.
But, how in the heck did Lee survive this and managed to do it.
They used three lowly Nomu's on him with regeneration and had a combination of abilities made especially to take Lee down and make sleep.
Not to mention they had drugged him with a mercenary.
How can things just turn like this?
Tomura turned his eyes up.
As he was in his dilemma, calming himself by scratching his neck, an answer came for him.
Heroes. It must be them. There is no way Lee could be this strong alone.
He thought that it could be blamed that their plans didn't go fast enough because of heroes were there to help Lee.
But what, in the hell, kind of heroes would try to kill Kurogiri.
'Lucky bastard,' he thought while looking keeping scratching.
"Don't forget your main target."
Tomura heard All for One's voice from a near communication device. He turned his head and said.
"But teacher… this guy is troublesome and lucky."
"As much as I agree, Tomura, there is a lot to learn," said the voice, "Again. What is your target, what is it."
"To revive the league of villains and kill All Might."
Tomura lowered his head as he took his teacher's words.
"Lee is only a Quirk holder." Said the voice amused, "the fact he could make his way out, between Nomus, only proves that his Quirk is more valuable to me."
The voice continued after a pause; "he could hold, not only a Nomu made for All Might, but those who were made for him. Hmmm… interesting. I should learn more about him. "
Tomura took a deep breath when he felt that his master was silent for a long time already. "What to do now."
"Obviously." All For One exhaled, "We'll watch him. Collect more information on him. When the time to strike comes. I'll strike."
"But teacher," Tomura objected all of the sudden, "I can take him out. I want to."
"Hmm… there's still a lot for you to learn."
"Yes, I am aware of that." He said, "I had learned from this experience."
"Curious," All for one said, "I'll see what you have in plan. Meanwhile, I'll revive Kurogiri before sending him to you. Until then, your access to Nomus would be limited."
"Understood, teacher."
After the call was shut, Tomura let an angry sigh. Lee, he is becoming more of his concern than All Might. That could be maybe due to the eggs break. Or the unforgettable pain.
Whatever will happen, he'll make sure to torture him personally and kill him after taking his Quirk from him.
Now, he needed to think of a plan. But the first step was to collect information about Lee. Anything that he can use can come handy to him, so he may could impress his master.
