A promise made long ago...

Bullet twisted the scythes as a giant mountain guy smashed through the ground, roaring.

Bullet was sent flying and flipped, stabbing his scythes behind him, standing on the wall as he laughed "WOAH! WOAH! YOU HAVE A MOUNTAIN WITH YOU?! AHAHAH!" Before looking down at the others, grinning "Himiko~ My sweet~ I killed Twice and Spinner, aren't you a bit angry? Don't you just want to rush into the afterlife and ask if they're okay?"

Himiko looked up and grit her teeth, "Give me back my Bullet!" Bullet dropped from the wall and grinned widely "I'm so jealous! Can you tell?! I'm bout ready to cry! Honest!" as he slashed down with the scythe, "Come on, these tears are for you! Ah! They may be blood, who knows? Hahaha!"

Himiko slipped the scythes and stabbed at him, armor fell over his arm and her knife bounced off as Bullet said "Himiko, Himiko~ Silly girl, don't you know anything? This is top of the line armor. Even tanks aren't made of this stuff." he leaned over and licked the blood on her face, "Such a sweet taste~ I. AM. IN. EUPHORIA. AHAHAHAH!"

As he jumped back, licking his lips as a cut appeared on his cheek. Himiko licked the blood off the knife and grinned in disgust "Gross! Lunatic blood." Bullet giggled strangely and swapped one scythe to a reverse grip, swinging behind him, cutting half of a woman's face right off, "I am very sane, I'll have you know. I heard that only sane people see that everyone else is crazy, did ya know?"

Himiko stabbed out behind her and held a knife next to her neck, blocking the scythes as she replied "Only crazies think like that, sorry." Bullet pouted exaggeratedly "Is this a divorce?" as he kicked her back, shoving her forward.

He raised the scythes and turned them into an 'X', grinning wildly "Come on, Himiko. Just make it easy, alright? You'll live inside of me, isn't that enough?" Himiko looked up and sneered, "You disgust me for real, just like Shigaraki."

Bullet pulled a sadistic smile, saying "I guess it just wasn't meant to be~" as he slashed down violently.

The scythes stopped right at her face and Bullet cracked his neck, shaking "LET ME GO! Bastard! STOP!" He dropped the scythes and held his head, laughing and crying "WON'TCHA JUST DIE?!"

Himiko was scooped up to the mountain's back as Bullet laughed wildly, tears coming down his face while hundreds of villains lunged at him, shooting out countless Quirks.

The mountain giant smashed through the building and left.

Himiko looked back to see blood splattering all over the place, severed limbs and torsos shooting up into the air.

Mr. Compress was dumbfounded, saying "This guy is a monster!" Himiko frowned, "Not a good one… Very bad! Bullet's hurting." Mr. Compress shouted "Bullet?! You're still worried about him!? That second personality is no joke! Forget him! He's gone!"

Bullet swung out his scythes and pulled them back with the cloth, laughing as he charged out of the encirclement, bodies everywhere, "I changed my mind, I'm just too damn clingy! Haahahahah! League of Villains~ Ah! My heart beats for you!" he jumped and stabbed into Gigantomachia's leg, climbing up quickly, giggling.

Dabi looked behind them and grinned widely "This guy is crazy! I love it!" as his body exploded into blue flames, "COME ON, LUNATIC! I'LL SEND YOU TO HELL!" Bullet tilted his head and grinned, "Buddy, I'm God's Chosen. I'm going to Heaven for sure! HAHAHAHA!" as he spun, shooting up Gigantomachia's back, shooting into the sky, throwing out his scythe, laughing wildly "Come on, candle boy! Who cares what your fucking name is!"

Dabi smashed out a pillar of flames and Bullet pulled the scythe back, saying "Oopsies~ No clones this time, silly billy~!" Dabi jumped over the scythe and flew into the sky, exploding his flames behind him.

He cackled and shouted "Hell's Flash Fist!" Bullet slashed with the scythe, laughing "Are you Endeavor's kid? What a nut! Hahahaha!" Dabi grinned "Who cares?" Bullet twisted and turned the scythe, shooting for his neck, "You're a-okay in my book, Dickhead! Wanna be friends?"

He leaned back over a pillar of flames, giggling as he flipped in the air, "I gotta warn ya though! All my friends are beautiful corpses~!" Dabi shot after him, a long gash appearing on his cheek as he grinned wildly "No way! Same!" Bullet rolled on Gigantomachia's back, kneeling on one knee, bowing with his scythes out to the sides, "Aha! GREAT! You first, I'll come right after, I promise~"

He stood up and licked the bloody scythe, shivering "Hehehe~ Promise Promise…" he twisted his neck and twitched, "Promise…" before shooting at Dabi and swinging the scythes wildly in a daze.

. . .

A cute little boy was eating happily as a woman with a black haze covering her face saying gently "You'll be the greatest Hero, █████████. Mommy promises." the little boy smiled happily, "Pinky pwomise, mommy?"

The woman held out a pinky and shook it with him, "Of course, Mommy never lies~" the boy giggled happily and smiled cutely with teeth missing. Another boy clapped happily, "Yaya! We can both be hewos! █████████, we should be a team!" the cute boy smiled happily and giggled with a cute smile.

. . .

Bullet's eyes focused again and he dodged the flames, slashing out, completely silent.

Dabi jumped back and his clothes were ripped right off of his chest, a long shallow cut dripped droplets of blood. He grinned, "Close one!"

Bullet stopped and stood there in a daze, "Promise?" he turned to the side as a pillar of flames shot by.

Dabi's hair stood on its ends as the dazed figure turned its head to him slowly, completely blank.

He shouted in fear, "MACHIA! THROW HIM OFF! NOW!" The figure tilted his head as a massive hand of ice slapped at him, covered by blue flames.

A massive hand went to grab the figure but missed as it dodged the hand, getting sent off his back by the ice and flames.

The figure flew out and looked down at the armor as it cracked all over, staying together.

The figure flipped through the air as Mt. Lady smashed into Gigantomachia, holding him back, shouting "You alright, Bullet?!" The figure was caught and put on the ground, staring at the sky with a blank look.

He got up and Momo looked at him, "Bullet?" while holding the others back.

The figure ignored everything and walked forward, dragging the scythes behind him, disappearing in the woods.

He came to Midnight on the ground as Villains walked towards her.

One of them cackled, "I'll go first…" Midnight grit her teeth and hands reached for her, she closed her eyes but the hands froze.

The figure held his hand out as Midnight turned around to see the villain, split in half with a scythe striking out of a tree.

The villains froze and the figure muttered "Promise… Promised to be a hero…" he pulled the scythe back and turned to the villains, walking forward in a daze before disappearing as leaves fell to the ground.

The villains screamed in fear before abruptly stopping as their limbs and heads flew up.

The figure stood there in a daze, covered in blood, looking up at the blood rain sprinkling on him, in a complete daze.

Midnight was shaken, Bullet… She looked at him, this wasn't the Bullet she knew, this guy was too scary. There wasn't a single wasted movement, he moved in perfect sync with his muscles, not even breaking a sweat due to the precision of his movements…

Was this something humans could achieve?

Or was this sheer fighting instinct taking over?

The Figure turned to her and walked over, Midnight swallowed and the figure squeaked out a voice, "Sleep… Nemuri… help me…" Midnight was shocked and quickly hugged him, shushing him, saying gently while stroking his head, "It's alright, you did very good… Rest now, okay? Everything is gonna be alright."

The figure's eyes drooped and he dropped the scythes, collapsing in her arms as Momo and the rest ran over.

They looked at Midnight and Bullet before seeing the carnage, Midnight smiled gently, "Come on… I can't move so well. If he didn't come…" she grinned, "I think your dear Math teacher would be a sickening mess of a corpse right now…"

Momo and the rest carried Midnight and Bullet away quickly, leaving the area.
