[Author note]

Hello author here. Sorry for the pause, I had a lot on my shoulders. Well enjoy.

[Chapter 10]

(Narration POV)

In a hospital room, five men were present. Two lay in patient beds, Hawks and Gang Orca.

Eraser Head had only one arm in a cast. The other two were All Might and Detective Naomasa, standing in the room without any injuries.

(All Might POV)

After a few moments of silence, Naomasa asked, "So, tell me what happened."

Eraser Head glanced at Naomasa. "We found that cannibal, or rather, Hawks found her. We underestimated her a lot. I managed to neutralize her Quirk halfway."

"So, another powerful villain emerged from the depths," Naomasa commented.

Hawks remained silent, staring at the ceiling. Instead, Gang Orca spoke up. "Detective, let him breathe. He went through a lot. He was with her for a whole year, knowing nothing about her. We were lucky Eraser Head noticed her a month ago."

I looked at Aizawa. "So, what was her Quirk?"

"I don't really know. She had super strength; she broke my arm with a single kick despite her petite frame. Later, she had some kind of sword. She stabbed Gang Orca with it. Then she flew away with some bug. She also had a strange voice."

'Sounds like she had multiple Quirks, but that's not possible. All for One is gone; it's just history.'

Suddenly, Hawks spoke. His hair covered his face, and his voice sounded lost. He clenched his teeth. "It's all my fault. Many people died because of me. I was with her for a year. Why did she do this?"

I walked over, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Young man, this isn't your fault. You couldn't have known. Next time you encounter her, you'll capture her and ask what you need to know. Now, you must lift your head and move forward."

Young Hawks simply nodded.

...

(Narration POV)

In the mist, a silhouette was visible—a girl carried by a bird, or rather, a bug. She didn't know how long she had been flying, but her goal was clear: to kill the traitor.

Slowly but surely, she approached her target on the island. The bug started descending, landing on the ground. Entoma began stretching. "Hnnn, that was a long journey. I feel a bit battered. Bob, start searching this island." The bug flew into the air, out of her sight.

'Now it's just a matter of waiting,' Entoma thought and began setting up a makeshift campfire.

(Entoma POV)

(Some time later)

'Sitting by the campfire, eating some creature. Bob has returned and found my target. I've been thinking, and I have several plans to choose from. One is to approach her at night and quietly kill her. The second is to act like a confused girl who doesn't know what happened. The third is to charge at her headfirst, and another plan is to set a trap. In the first case, I don't know her Quirks, so all the methods I've thought of are very risky.'

'I can rule out the second plan; she worked for the Master, so she won't fall for a little girl disguise. At night won't work either; I don't know her Quirks. Charging at her headfirst won't end well. The only plan that seems somewhat usable is to prepare a trap.'

"Bob, keep an eye on her. If she moves, inform me."

It's time to create an excellent trap. I must use my Quirk wisely.

...

(Unknown POV)

I woke up as usual, with one change. Someone is on the island. I should contact All Might. I've been on this island for several years, escaping from All for One. I don't even know how I escaped. All for One is dead, and I can peacefully live here.

I just need to handle our visitor. I also sense some bug belonging to my visitor. Slowly, I headed out from my home, and the bug alerted, flying towards the visitor. I went out, expecting to have a conversation after a long time.

(Entoma POV)

Bob sat in front of me, recounting what happened. 'Damn, I'm not ready yet; I'll have to improvise.' I started creating several small explosive bugs in my left sleeve and a paralyzing stinger in my right sleeve. The explosive bugs were already hidden in a tree crown. I quickly created a small centipede that burrowed into the ground.

As soon as it disappeared into the ground, I heard rustling in the bushes. A woman, a significant figure, emerged from the foliage. Short black hair, black eyes, wearing a white sports shirt and blue shorts.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" she asked, seemingly concerned about my presence. She quickly ran towards me, grabbing my shoulders and shaking me. "What are you doing here? Where are your parents?"

'Ah, she's an idiot.' I was a bit disappointed; I expected a maniac or a cold-blooded killer. 'Not this wannabe do-gooder, but one thing is certain, she knew where I am.' So, I decided to play the role of a helpless little girl.

I started producing water with my mask. "I don't hic... know, who are hic..."

She asked, "Are you here alone?" I began shaking my head negatively. "Bob." On my command, Bob flew to me. "Ah, so this is the bug that was watching me."

'As I expected, she knew I was here; I don't know how her Quirk exactly works, but I haven't revealed my stinger hidden in my sleeve.'

"Do you want to come to my place? I'll call someone, and you'll be with your family soon. Okay?" I just weakly nodded. She took my hand, the one with the hidden stinger. 'This is my chance.'

The stinger quickly shot out from my sleeve but stabbed into the air. I started looking around. She stood three meters behind me, screaming, "What are you doing?"

"Oo-sorry, my bugs, sometimes they go out of c-control." She looked at me like a fool. "Really?" I just nodded. I realized she stood exactly where I wanted her. Quickly, I gave a command to my centipede, which was underground. It swiftly coiled around her legs. I pointed at her with one hand, "Bullet bugs." I started shooting at her, but she didn't know that explosive bugs were just above her. They received the command and quickly flew towards her. All I saw was a big explosion.

As the smoke from the explosion cleared, I saw something shiny. The shiny thing started shrinking and turning black—it was her hair. She stood in front of me, unharmed, looking at me as an enemy.

"Who are you, who do you work for?" I just clicked my mandibles. "Entoma, sent by the perfect and strongest Master All for One to finish you."
