Chapter 27: I? me? You? Who? Me!

A four-way connection was formed between Midoriya, Shigaraki, Kurokai, and Mechamaru.

With one arm on each other's shoulder, it wasn't long before some passerby noticed them.

But thinking it to be a friendly children's activity they simply laughed and went on their way.

Unfortunately, the situation was far from being a 'friendly activity'.

"Release my friend, or burn to ash.", Mechamaru said in a cold mechanical voice staring straight at Kurokai, his hand glowing in red light.

"Tell the hand face to let go first.", Kurokai wasn't one to back down either, the air trembled with his voice bringing forth an indescribable pressure.

With both of their gazes colliding in mid-air, an invisible spark flew out.

Midoriya clenched his fist and silently said in his mind.

I need to help Kurokai-kun!

Shigaraki's finger twitched, while he crazily shouted in his mind.

Do it Mechamaru! Burn them!

Kurokai barely suppressed the laughter that was threatening to rush out of his mouth, he could almost smell the crazily increasing faith points.

Especially after the crazy reward he just received!

Letting out a stream of air from his mouth, Mechamaru asked.

"It seems you have chosen death?"

K-Kurokai-kun!

Yes, Mechamaru!

"I can crush his skull faster than you can use your power."

Shigaraki's head moved towards them under Kurokai's quirk giving him a better look at the situation.

Hearing his words Mechamaru's head lowered, it seemed he was hesitating.

Seeing the scene Shigaraki's eyes shone crazily and his struggle increased, but it was useless, Kurokai's telekinesis was too strong.

The tension increased.

Finally, after some time Mechamaru slowly lowered his hand and said.

"How about we all take a step back?"

Kurookai hesitated for a moment before slowly moving his arm from Shigaraki's neck, though he didn't release the telekinesis.

Mechamaru stared silently at Kurokai.

"Tsk."

Audibly clicking his tongue, Kurokai suddenly moved his finger sending Shigaraki straight towards Mechamaru.

Mechamaru didn't hesitate, with nimble movement he grabbed the stunned Shigaraki and quickly ran away under the surprised eyes of the crowd.

"Midoriya quickly call the authorities!"

"Yes!"

Midoriya pulled out his phone and hurriedly dialed the helpline number.

Only Kurokai kept staring at Mechamaru's diminishing figure until he disappeared.

After the authorities came, Midoriya explained the whole incident to them, in no time the mall was closed and became a no-entry zone.

Meanwhile, Kurokai silently escaped when the attention wasn't on him, leaving the area.

----

After returning home, Kurokai hurriedly went to his room and looked at himself in the mirror.

At first, everything seemed the same.

But then under his control, his eyes suddenly turned blue.

The power of six eyes activated!

But that wasn't all!

He also received all of Gojo's experience!

Reverse Cursed Technique!

Red, Blue, Hollow Purple!

And....Limitless!

His cursed energy level instantly shot through the roof! reaching unidentified special grade!

Under the power and control of six eyes, his telekinesis ability improved by leaps and bounds!

He instantly gained the ability to go against AFO and OFA! Maybe even beat them!

Of course, that is when he isn't taking the domain into consideration, if the domain was also used......instant kill.

Perhaps with their versatile power, AFO can still somehow survive Jogo's domain.....but unlimited void.....he doubted it to be possible.

An uncontrolled smile formed on Kurokai's face, and then under his control his eyes returned to normal.

At the same time, in the villain's hideout, Mechamaru's green orb-like eyes turned blue.

It seems only one body can use six eyes at a time.

They both thought in their mind.

Although six eyes can only be used one at a time, the same was not true for limitless, red, blue, and hollow purple.

Both of them can use their powers by utilizing cursed energy, it's just very expensive to maintain limitless without six eyes.

Mechamaru's eyes turned back green again.

Then he looked at the silent Shigaraki for a moment before going back to his workshop.

His robot construction was almost half done.

Shigaraki glanced at Mechamaru's retreating figure before saying under his breath.

"Thank you Mechamaru."

For some reason, seeing that familiar metallic figure made a feeling of small warmth appear in his heart.

This time Shigaraki truly felt.

It wasn't bad to have reliable friends.

"Nay nay Tomora-kun! can you get me this dress? pretty please? look it's all red and super cute!"

Shigaraki ignored her, it seemed the reliable statement only worked with Mechamaru for now.

"Come on now! don't ignore me!"

Toga acted cute, but seeing that she was getting no reaction from Shigaraki, she pouted and left.

'Hmph cheapstake! I'll just ask my friend Mechamaru!'

Looking down at the blood-colored metallic gloves in her hands, Toga couldn't help but smile.

This is for you.

Oh-ho! Mecha-chan! is this a gift? for me? Are you proposing?!

.....it has an inbuilt syringe that will burst out and suck your opponent's blood. 

What? Really? that's so cool! But! can you make it red?

....Okay

You're the best Mecha-chan!

After that incident, she clearly understood who was responsible for the futuristic design of their hideout.

Especially the various gaming consoles at the back, along with the massage chairs....and most of all a giant jacuzzi!

Toga covered her face in excitement and made her way towards Mechamaru's workshop with large strides.

It was definitely the best decision to join the villain's group!

Much better and more comfortable than living on the streets.

Toga smiled and thought in her mind.

It's almost like a 'family'!

Suddenly Toga stopped.

The word 'Family' reminded her of some bad memories.

Isn't this blood pretty Mom? Dad, it feels so warm....

Toga's pace slowed down.

I told you she just doesn't listen! She keeps doing it again and again!

Her cheerful expression turned gloomy.

You Monster! Look she's smiling! as if it is completely normal!

Entering the workshop, Mechamaru's familiar back appeared in her vision.

Sensing the movement behind him, Mechamaru turned around to see the silent Toga.

"Mecha-chan..."

A fake smile appeared on Toga's face.

"What do you think of blood?"

Mechamaru repeated.: "Blood?"

"I don't know, It's not something I have."

hearing his words a confused look appeared on Toga's face, Then without a moment's delay she suddenly pulled out her knife, cut through her palm, and showed the rushing blood to Mechamaru.

"Then what do you think of my blood?", She asked in an expectant voice.

Instead of replying, Mechamaru simply looked at the bleeding palm, then he suddenly stood up from his seat, went to a nearby cabinet, and took out a box from within.

Ignoring the confused Toga, Mechamaru took out medicine and dressing from the box and silently patched up the cut.

Toga looked absentmindedly at the scene, not saying anything.

Finally, after Mechamaru was done with the dressing, he looked back at Toga, raising his hand he patted her head and said.

"I think your blood is precious, so don't waste it."

Rubbing her head lightly Mechamaru took back his hand and pulled out a familiar-looking red dress from one of the drawers.

"Here your birthday gift."

Toga silently took the red dress which she just asked Shigaraki for.

Moving her head she looked at Mechamaru who has turned back and started focusing on his work.

"How did you know..."

Mechamaru stopped, put down the hammer in his hand, turned his head slightly and said.

"Because I am your friend Mechamaru."

Then he once again picked up the hammer and started making the part from his memory.

Toga stared at the scene with slightly blurry eyes, unknowingly tears has formed without her knowledge.

"Mecha-chan...."

A sincere smile appeared on her face with tears falling from the corners of her eyes.

It was indeed a good decision to join villains.....no my new family...
