The entire world watched as a planet sized Deathball came towards them. All-Maker had fooled Leonidus with a body double, now halfway across the galaxy, Alyx was racing back towards Earth. He grit his teeth as he pushed himself faster with each passing second.
"𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘯, 𝘈𝘭𝘺𝘹! 𝘍𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳... 𝘔𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳! 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘸𝘪𝘯, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵! 𝘎𝘰, 𝘨𝘰, 𝘨𝘰!" Alyx thought.
All-Maker laughed manically as his attack slowly approached Earth. Mina bawled her eyes out as she hugged Yaoyorozu. Bakugo sat and stared into the sky, reminiscing on his childhood with Izuku. Midoriya and many of his classmates stood several blocks away from the Shie Hassaikai residence. Izuku looked over at Uraraka and gave her a reassuring smile.
"Hey... I..." Izuku spoke up.
Uraraka held his hand, looking up at the sky without saying a word. The entire planet accepted their fate and held their loved ones close to them. Dabi looked over at Shigaraki before sighing.
"Oh, come 'ere you crusty fuck." Dabi sighed.
He put his arm around Tomura, as the ball approached Earth, Melissa Shield stood next to her Dad as they observed it.
"It's steadily approaching us, I guess- Wait... It... It's stopped! Dad look! It's not moving!" Melissa cheered.
"No way... He..." David exclaimed.
"It's Alyx!" Everyone cried out.
Leonidus stood in the middle of Musutafu, holding All-Maker's Deathball back with a Nova Blast!
"What?! I-Impossible!!" All-Maker fumed.
"L-Like... I said...! I refuse to let you win!!" Leonidus thundered.
Leonidus' feet were planted firmly into the uprooting concrete, but the Deathball was slightly pushing Alyx's attack back! As he struggled, he felt a pair of hands on his back, he looked behind him to see not only the spirit of his Mother and Father from his original reality, but thousands upon thousands of people!
"Do it, Alyx!" His Mother and Father smiled.
Alyx returned his focus to his attack, "Right!"
His Nova Blast grew wider as he output more power. All Six Rage Arms burst out of his back, keeping him in place. All-Maker added more power into his attack as well, enlarging his Deathball to near colossal size! Alyx struggled to keep the attack away from Earth.
"Damn it... Damn it! I need more power!"
"Just give up! This is futile, Mortal!"
Suddenly, Leonidus' Nova Blast grew larger, he looked around to see both Annie and Kariya assisting him!
"D'ya really think... W-We'd let you do this on your own?" Kariya smirked.
Alyx returned his focus towards All-Maker with a bright smile on his face.
"Give up...? You... You want me to give up?! If I do that, I'll betray the trust of everyone you've killed, all of those people who's lives have been unrightfully taken away! If you think... For even one damn second... That I'm gonna do that... You're clearly a fucking idiot! I can't betray their trust, because that's who I am! That's what makes me... Their Symbol of Hope... The Overdrive Hero: Alyx Leonidus!!" He boomed.
His Overdrive covered the entire planet once more, Leonidus went flying straight through All-Maker's Deathball, it cracked and split neatly in half! Alyx reeled his fist back as it supercharged with Overdrive.
"Final Move... Dragon Sun... Halo Head Dance!!" Leonidus roared.
A mighty white dragon made of Overdrive flourished from Leonidus' arm, it rammed right into All-Maker, snaking around Earth before heading towards the sun. Annie and Kariya watched with incredible amazement as the dragon covered the sky.
"Did you really think it'd be that easy? I must say I'm impressed!
"W-What?!"
A huge blast sent Alyx crashing back down to Earth. The impact knocked Kariya and Annie away, debris scattered the area, Annie looked up to see that Alyx didn't have his Quirks activated. He was barely clinging onto consciousness as he stumbled up to his feet.
"I see, you're quite the Mortal, Alyx Leonidus. And I'm not saying that lightly, either. Perhaps we'll meet in another life." All-Maker complimented.
Another, huge Deathball appeared above his fingertip, he flicked it down towards Earth. Leonidus watched as the ball grew closer and closer, a familiar feeling came into his gut, the feeling of fear. That same will stopping emotion that kept him from saving Laura Whitson.
"N-N-No way! He had him! How did he lose?!" Kaminari panicked.
"This is it..." Momo fretted.
"Alyx..." Izuku mumbled.
Instead of being frozen in place, Alyx began to move, he light began to jog towards the Deathball. His pace quickened as he jumped into the air.
"𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘓𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘥... 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘐... 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸! 𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯!"
Leonidus' hands outstretched towards the attack, he planted them firmly onto it, he started to absorb All-Maker's Deathball! He winced and yelped in pain as the veins in his arms turned bright orange. Alyx grit his teeth as his body began to tremble, as tears began to roll down his face, but he did 𝒏𝒐𝒕 waver.
"𝘐𝘵 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩... 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘨𝘰! 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳, 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘦! 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘢... 𝘎𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯!" Leonidus vowed.
Alyx's eyes began to shine a bright white, "HRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!"
The Deathball grew smaller and smaller until a huge wave of energy exploded, scattering across the entirety of Japan, the wave brought an immeasurable amount of pressure. The wave died down as quickly as it was brought about, leaving no harm or damage to the country. The Leonidus siblings were in disbelief as they saw Alyx still floating there, motionless. He landed on the ground and they stood stunned, All-Maker appeared right in front of Alyx, a smile was on his face.
"Your smell... You aren't planning to kill me, why?" Alyx wondered.
"It's simple, I want to hear you say that you forfeit, that's all."
"Really? Heh, I guess so! I don't think I've ever fought someone as strong as you, All-Maker. There's one thing I want to know, why did you do it? My family... They're gone because of you."
"I have rules to follow, Leonidus, much like you an your Pro Hero activities. My goal is to make sure history goes as it should, unfortunately, Amatsu never should've come into contact with you. Although I must say, thanks to that little mishap, you're quite the opponent. It's been almost 6 eons since I've had a challenge, I'd go on to say you were the strongest opponent I've fought so far, I dare even say ever."
"I see... A-And I'm honored, Mr. All-Maker! A 15 year old kid making a God worry? That's something!"
Alyx's chuckling eventually trailed off as he fell unconscious, right before he fell forward, All-Maker reached out and caught him.
"I must say, that was quite the display, you really are something else... Alyx Leonidus." All-Maker smiled.
He floated down to the ground, holding Alyx in his arms, Annie ran over with beams ready to fire from her fingertips.
"I'm assuming you must be his older sister, right? I still can't believe the potential this boy has. It almost makes me feel... Excited."
"P-Put him down! If you're gonna erase him, then you're gonna have to erase all of us first!"
"Hmph, as if any of you here could truly lay a finger on me. I'm no longer interested in him, I got what I came here for: the One Above All."
Kariya made his way over to them, "The hunnawhat? The fuck even is that?"
"Legend states that there exists a sole individual with the power to rival the greatest of creators. I'm simply the creator of all life and the concept of such thing."
"So, there's more people like you?" Annie wondered.
"Correct. This boy intrigues me though, not a single mortal being I've encountered had the ability to absorb my energy. Perhaps it would be useful to keep him alive, although I don't have the say in how long, however."
Chiyoko, Enzo and Amatsu flew down towards All-Maker and the Leonidus'. Chiyoko hugged Alyx tightly as she began to tear up.
"Thank you... Thank you for staying alive, Alyx Leonidus. May we meet again someday." Chiyoko sniffled.
Chiyoko began to fade away, finally able to pass on into the afterlife, All-Maker had a smile on his face afterwards.
[One and a Half Months Later...]
The incident that occurred on Paradise Island and ultimately across the galaxy would be known as "Ascension Day" by thousands of people. Alyx had been in a coma since then, his friends and what was left of his family visited him nearly everyday. Liz and Marie stayed by his side since he was admitted to the hospital.
"Mama, where did Gramma go? Did she leave with Daddy too?" Liz asked.
"They... Liz, sweetheart, do you remember how I told you that heroes sometimes risk their lives to save others?" Marie replied.
"Uh huh, my teacher tells me that too! Is that what Gramma did too?" Liz nodded.
Marie looked over at Alyx, "Yes, I'm afraid so, Liz. I'm afraid so..."
Leonidus' eyes began to slowly open, His Mother gasped with surprise as she ran over to him. All Might, Aizawa, Midnight, and Present Mic entered the room right as Alyx finally woke up.
"Young Leonidus, you're awake! How are you feeling?" Toshinori wondered.
Alyx sat up and looked down at his legs, not saying a word for a few seconds, taking everything in.
"I... I don't know. I get that I saved the world and all, but everything I was told, how I shouldn't be here... My entire life has been a lie pretty much from the get go. I'm still trying to wrap my head around all of this, I've been living another person's life basically, these memories here... They were all just implanted in my head. I guess I'll be going back now soon, I'd imagine." Alyx answered.
"That shouldn't matter! No matter who you are, you're still my big brother! A-And Boshi said that you would stay here forever! Even that big weirdo glowy man said so too!" Liz disagreed.
Alyx realized what All-Maker did, he rewrote reality so that he wouldn't be alone. In the end, a reality where one is alone, that would truly be a crime against Time and Space. Liz crawled up onto Alyx and rested her head on his shoulder, Alyx rubbed her back as he smiled.
"I see, I guess he did have a heart after all. Even so, I still have family here, no matter what." Alyx continued.
"Besides your Mother and siblings?" Present Mic questioned.
Alyx nodded at him, "Yeah, all of you at U.A.! Not to mention the friends I have back in America. I see you guys as my home away from home! Speaking of that... I guess I can say this now, but I wanna go home. I'm kinda hungry!"
"Can I go with Aly, Mama? Pleeeeaaaase?" Liz pleaded.
"Well... I guess we could, how does tomorrow sound, Lizzie?" Marie suggested.
"Okay..." She sighed.
Liz hugged her brother tightly, "Hey, Aly, I think Daddy would be proud of you."
[The Next Day...]
As they pulled up to U.A., Alyx felt a sense of warmth in the air, he and his sister approached the dormitory doors alone. Alyx opened the doors to an empty Heights Alliance, he sighed as he looked down at Liz.
"Hey, you can make yourself at home, Lizzie. Eraser Head should be in at any moment, I'll be right back." Leonidus told her.
Liz nodded and made her way onto the Common Room couch. Leonidus left towards Takoba Municipal Beach Park, it took him no more than a few minutes to get there. He landed down on the edge of the shore, the water gently washed up to the land, Alyx looked out across the ocean.
"𝘐 𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵, 𝘴𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘵 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘵. 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸, 𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘵, 𝘔𝘰𝘮, 𝘋𝘢𝘥. 𝘐 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳, 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘐 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘋𝘢𝘥." Alyx thought.
Leonidus remembered when he was younger, he saw himself running towards his Father as he walked away from him. As he reminisced on the years, he saw Star and Stripe walking ahead of him.
"𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘳, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘦'𝘴. 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘓𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘥, 𝘐 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵... 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸..." He continued.
"Hey, Alyx!" Izuku called out.
Alyx stopped staring out towards the horizon and looked to his left. Izuku waved at him, All Might was standing behind him, waving as well. Leonidus began to lightly jog towards them.
"...𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦!" Alyx happily thought.
He ran past the silhouettes of his Father & Star and Stripe. A bright smile appeared on his face as he quickened his pace. Uraraka, Tsuyu, and Eijiro all walked down towards Izuku. Leonidus hugged Izuku which caught him by surprise.
"Thank you, Alyx." Izuku warmly smiled.
"We heard about what happened to your Grandma, that must be awful feeling, we're really sorry." Uraraka lamented.
Someone landed down a few feet behind Leonidus. Alyx turned around to see Mikey standing behind him, wearing a backpack.
"Hey, sorry for dropping in, but Master Star and Stripe is wanting me to head back to America. Since your Grandmother was the main person we were after and now she's gone... I guess that's that." Mikey informed him.
"Wait, y-you aren't gonna stay? There's still the others left." Alyx puzzled.
"From everything that's happened, she said you're more than capable enough to handle them. I guess you weren't the weak runt after all!" He chuckled.
Leonidus ran over and hugged Mikey, his face slightly went red as he looked away and grumbled. He tried getting Leonidus off of him but he couldn't break out of his hug!
"A-Alright! I get it!" Mikey told him.
"I'll come and visit you, I promise!" Leonidus vowed.
Alyx stopped hugging him as Mikey turned away from him, he looked back at Leonidus and gave him a smile.
"Take it easy, friend." Mikey grinned.
Leonidus smiled back at him and Mikey took off into the sky. Alyx turned back towards his friends. There was a silence between them for quite a while.
"All that sleeping and intergalactic God fighting's got me hungry! Let's go!" Alyx laughed.
As they walked off the beach with All Might, Amatsu watched over him from the Seventh Plane, standing alone for the first time in decades.
"Do you think he'll know?" Chiyoko's voice echoed.
"No, I don't think he will. Perhaps it's better to inform him some other time. It finally seems as if he's found his footing." Mikaboshi answered.
"Just promise me this," She replied, "Bring them back, for his sake, and for his siblings'."
Mikaboshi nodded as the white void around him turned into a throne room. He stood next to his father as he was sat on the throne, content with the quietness, and even more so with the safety of Reality.
"Alyx is a wonder, is he not, father?" Amatsu asked.
"Indeed, one thing I do wonder however, how was he able to predict my movements? It's almost as if he's seen them before."
"I am not so sure, father. I do not have an answer for that"
Back at the dorms, Leonidus looked at his haori, putting it on as he adjusted his sword. He walked downstairs into the Common Room and towards the doors.
"Hey, where are you going? You just got here!" Uraraka asked.
"I'm certain Mr. Ubuyashiki wants me back at the Mansion. I still have my Work Study to do after all, and I wanna apologize to him since I failed my mission of not doing hero stuff." Alyx told her.
"Whaaaaat? But you saved the planet! I doubt he'll care." Kirishima disagreed.
"Still, I failed that mission, I should at least apologize. I'll see you guys later!" Leonidus responded.
He left the dorms as everyone waved goodbye at him. He left U.A. by walking out of the front gate, he stared out towards Musutafu and sighed.
"My Overdrive's still tapped out after that fight, hopefully I don't get stopped too much... Not to mention I've been kinda sick feeling for a while now." Leonidus thought aloud.
Alyx made his way into the city, occasionally being stopped by people for pictures and autographs. He finally got to the outskirts of Musutafu, wiping sweat off of his forehead, he looked around for anyone else. Alyx pulled his phone out to check the time.
"Geez... I didn't think that I'd get stopped that much... At least I'm halfway there!" Alyx bubbled.
Leonidus entered the dense forest, slowly navigating towards the Butterfly Mansion. As he passed through a narrow passageway, he was greeted by an incredible sight, the Wisteria trees were in full bloom around the mansion! He saw Rei training down to the bone out in the training yard.
"Yo, Rei!" He shouted over to her.
Rei turned her head to see him waving at her, she stopped what she was doing and ran over to him, hugging him as tight as she could.
"I thought you were gonna die! I was super super super scared that my handsome baby was gonna get killed! Don't ever do that again, please!" Rei whined.
"I missed you too, Rei." Leonidus smiled.
Alyx looked over to see Mr. Ubuyashiki standing with all of the Pillars of Hope. Rei stopping hugging Leonidus and stood aside, Alyx quickly bowed.
"I'm so, so sorry, Mr. Ubuyashiki! I didn't rest for those days like you told me to!" Leonidus apologized.
Mr. Ubuyashiki chuckled before patting his head, "I figured you would've stepped in, your spirit friend told us about what was happening. There's no need to apologize, you've done well, my child."
Alyx eyes slightly widened, he let off a smile before standing up straight.
"I'm surprised you didn't fly here," Ubuyashiki remarked, "Tokito told me you were walking all the way here from U.A. High."
"Wait, you were following me, Mr. Tokito?"
Kasumi quietly looked at the small bird on his finger, Alyx slowly nodded before returning his attention to Mr. Ubuyashiki.
"Aaaanyways... I'm still kinda tapped out of my Overdrive. It honestly hurts to use it!" Leonidus continued.
"I see, well then, this next mission will be your last one. Tomioka has specifically requested to have you on this mission." Ubuyashiki replied.
"Correct, we'll be tracking down some of Daniela's group, starting with Gorgophone and Ernesh. They've grown quite fond of each other, might I add, Ernesh looks identical to you minus the scar." Akua confirmed.
Alyx recalled Ernesh's appearance, "Yeah, from what I've been told by my Father, he's an artificial lifeform designed to kill me. I've only ran into him once, I barely made it out alive, this was forever ago though. I'm certain that I could handle him on my own, maybe."
"Interesting... We'll have to keep that in mind then. We've narrowed their location down to Kawasaki in the Shibata District. We'll be leaving by train in an hour, make sure you're ready, bring whatever it is you need to bring along with you." Tomioka told him.
"Yes ma'am!" Leonidus beamed.
[Several Hours Later...]
Bakugo for the entire train ride kept staring at Leonidus, he was unsure what to say to him. He could tell that something about him was different.
"Oi, Leonidus, you're lookin' a little pale." Bakugo observed.
"Huh? Oh... Yeah... I'm getting sick I think. Hopefully it's not the Overdrive Blues. That would suck!" Leonidus responded.
"T-The what?" Kaminari snickered.
"I know, I know, it sounds stupid but that's literally the official term for it. My Dad had it once, it nearly killed him. It's a virus that attacks the heart and respiratory system, there's only one-" Leonidus explained.
Ernesh appeared on Rei's phone, "Good afternoon, citizens of Japan! It is I, Ernesh, I have a bit of a request for you all. And by all, I mean 𝘢𝘭𝘭 of you... Here I have in my possession a trigger that will set off a bomb capable of leveling this little place you call home."
Ernesh's live broadcast had been plastered on every screen in Japan! No matter how small, big, or what location, he was everywhere!
"However, being a man of my word, I will not destroy this country under one condition: Bring me Alyx Leonidus. Not only will I spare this miserable place, ¥600,000,000 will be yours to whoever brings him to me! You all have just the next three days to fulfill my request. Good luck..." Ernesh grinned.
The train came to a stop at Kawasaki. Every passenger on the train was eyeing Leonidus, they rushed off the train before tensions could skyrocket.
"We need to find Ernesh, there's no time for resting, taking him out is now top priori-" Tomioka instructed.
An explosion rattled the train station! A group of desperate villains ran through the smoke.
"There he is! Let's grab 'em and go!" A man shouted.
Leonidus stood in his fighting stance, "You want me? Come and..."
His voice trailed off as he activated his Overdrive, it was up only for a second before an intense, sharp pain ran through his heart. Everyone watched as he fell to his knees, clutching the left side of his chest, desperately trying to breath. Kaminari rushed to his side as Tomioka, Rei and Bakugo dispatched the villains.
"Hey, are you alright? Alyx? Are you okay?" Kaminari asked.
"I can't breath... I can't breath... I can't breath..." Alyx trembled.
Everything in Alyx's vision became blurry as the voices around him became muffled. He fell unconscious in Kaminari's arms. Kaminari picked Leonidus up as he ran over towards Akua.
"He's out cold! What do we do?" Denki panicked.
Akua looked over at Bakugo and Rei, "You two handle the situation here! Chargebolt and I are gonna drop Alyx off somewhere safe!"
Bakugo's Quirk flared up as he licked his lips with delight. Akua took Alyx from Kaminari's arms and nodded at him.
"Let's go." She continued.
Akua took off with impressive speed as Kaminari followed. They zoomed down alleyways and rooftops towards an empty alley. Akua stood in front of a wall, Denki looked at her with confusion.
"Why are we stopping?" He asked.
"Because we're here, Chargebolt." Tomioka answered.
Kaminari tilted his head, then Akua walked through the wall, Denki froze up with even more confusion. He slowly walked through the wall, on the inside was a huge house! He caught up to Akua as she knocked on the door. A woman dressed in a traditional floral kimono opened the door.
"Akua? Is everything okay?" She wondered.
"Tamashini, I need your help, this boy is suffering from something called "The Overdrive Blues". Do you think you can cure him of it?" Tomioka responded.
"Hmm... I've never heard of that illness before, but I'm sure I can help him. Bring him downstairs to the infirmary!" Tamashini agreed.
[Two Days Later...]
Leonidus opened his eyes, his vision becoming slowly better, but his heart felt like it was on fire. He looked over and noticed he was being cared for by a woman he's never seen in his life. But as soon as she turned around, he felt safe, for she looked identical to Chiyoko!
"I'm glad you're awake, young man, you had us frightened for a bit there. My name is Tamashini Sekawa, I'm a friend of the Pillars of Hope. Could you sit up for a brief moment, please?" Tamashini introduced herself.
Leonidus managed to sit up as Tamashini walked over to him with a medicine cup.
"You still don't have your strength back after that heart attack, but this should at least help alleviate those symptoms." She continued.
Leonidus took the bitter tasting medicine, "T-Thank you. Where's everyone else at?"
"They've been fighting Ernesh, that woman he was with, there's been no sign of her either. It seems as if she's ditched him. But, you need to rest for now." Tamashini responded.
"What?! I-I have to go help them!" Alyx quickly protested.
"No, you're in no condition to fight right now. Activating your Quirk when the medicine hasn't kicked it can possibly kill you. I'm currently working on something that'll cure those ailments, but I won't have it finished for another hour or so, being I've been working on it for the past two days." She scolded.
The floor above them slowly creaked, almost as if someone was sneaking in. The footsteps made their way towards the door, it opened, a man with light green hair appeared in the doorway.
"Lady Tamashini, is he awake ye-" The man asked.
As he made eye contact with Leonidus, his sight drifted towards his Hanafuda earrings. His mind flashbacked to Tanjiro, sending chills up his spine as he noticed how similar smelling the two were!
"𝘛𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘰... 𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘩𝘪𝘮." He thought.
"Oh, Yushiro! You had me wondering who was creeping about upstairs." Tamashini smiled.
"My apologies, Lady Tamashini! I didn't mean to startle you! The commotion outside has been disturbing my painting." Yushiro apologized.
"Hopefully it'll be over soon, Akua has others helping her out, so you might be able to get back to painting shortly." Tamashini sweetly smiled.
Before Leonidus could introduce himself to Yushiro, the room began to rumble, the wall next to Tamashini burst open!
"There you are! I just knew the scent I was tracking was you!" Gorgophone cackled.
Yushiro stood in front of Tamashini, Alyx noticed that Gorgophone's attention wasn't on him, but it was on Yushiro. Leonidus stumbled up to his feet, grabbing his sword, Gorgophone looked back towards him with annoyance.
"Sit the fuck down! I don't have time for you, weakling!" She demanded.
When she blinked, she found herself outside of the building, burrowed into the ground and sliced into bits. Yushiro was stunned by how quick Leonidus was! The seal around the house was lifted as Yushiro had lost focus of his Blood Art.
"Yushiro, take Ms. Tamashini somewhere safe, please." Alyx told him.
"Right! Come on then, let's go!" Yushiro nodded.
Leonidus hopped out of the building as the two left the room. Alyx noticed that the area was completely deserted.
"𝘔𝘴. 𝘛𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘰𝘬𝘢 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵'𝘷𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘤𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥. 𝘚𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭, 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰.

He thought to himself.
Gorgophone regenerated and got up to her feet. Her Stone Serpents burst out of her back.
"What the hell don't you understand?!" She raged.
"I don't have to understand anything, got it? I've made up my mind, I hate people like you, those that don't care for anyone else's lives but their own... They don't belong on this planet. I won't show you the slightest bit of sympathy." Alyx calmly retorted.
"Then come on, Alyx! Don't worry, I'll make this quick..." Gorgophone giggled.
Alyx held his blade at the ready, Gorgophone's eight serpents darted towards him with great speed. Leonidus quickly cut them down as he ran towards her, she noticed his focus was much greater than the last time they fought. Within just a few seconds, he was in front of Gorgophone, ready to cut her head off. Leonidus lowered an eyebrow as he heard her giggle at him. He glanced over and saw Ernesh's fist coming straight for his face, Leonidus managed to block it with his blade but was sent flying backwards.
"There you are! I was just wondering when you'd show up! How's your heart doing, Alyx?" Ernesh grinned.
"It's... Just fine." Alyx replied.
Leonidus stuck his sword into the ground and put his haori on the hilt. As the wind blew, the only thing shared by Ernesh and Leonidus was their silence. Both of their Quirks activated as they clashed fists. The two began unloading heavy hitting strikes, standing in place as they pelted each other with full power punches.
"You know something? You never cease to impress me, Leonidus! Keeping up with an android like this... It's impeccable!" Ernesh complimented.
Alyx then glided past one of Ernesh's fists, striking him on the jaw, sending him flying through several cars. He flew ahead of him, Leonidus kicked Ernesh straight into the sky, breaking through the dense clouds. Alyx held a ball of Overdrive in his hand and slammed it into Ernesh's stomach. The ball erupted into a gigantic violet explosion, Ernesh was sent spiraling into the ground by the attack. Alyx took labored breaths as he held his hand out.
"Alyx?! Your heart rate is spiking, not to mention it's getting irregular. Are you sick?" Melissa spoke up.
"Y-Yeah... I have... The Overdrive Blues..." Alyx panted.
He held the left side of his chest as he floated down to the ground. Alyx fell to one knee as his Overdrive deactivated. Gorgophone furrowed both of her eyebrows, wondering if Ernesh had been defeated. She started readying herself to fight until she saw Ernesh standing tall as the smoke finally cleared. Ernesh was slightly panting as he dusted himself off.
"Not so bad, I didn't think you had that much power in Gear Two. It's a shame that you won't be alive for long, I was hoping you'd go all out, but I doubt that'll be happening with your condition." He told him.
Ernesh reeled his fist back and sent it towards Leonidus' face. Instead of impacting his face, it impacted someone's shield! Ernesh looked puzzled as Yaoyorozu furiously scowled at him.
