Chapter 44 Battle in the Sewers

Shigaraki: ...

(In his mind).

"Choosing the sewers might be a horrible idea but the bastard thinks he has a upper hand in this. Probably since this is Random's world now."

*Looking at each direction to see if the spikes are coming.*

"So far nothing is like he is up to something but what?"

*Hearing his own heart beating fast due to the fact of something unknown is possibly planning on killing him. Especially in a place that's might give him a disadvantage. Hearing growling in the distance like there's someone or something else among him. Walking down the left path slowly looking around to see if any incoming spikes.*

"He's gone quiet so this means he back off? No he did say he's going all out so I should keep my guard up."

*Looking at each direction everytime he walked stopping immediately at each sound from water dripping and the sounds from the growls in the distance.*

"This reminds me of a video game that I played recently. The demon hides in the shadows and the person has to use hearing just to find it. Wait hearing that could be the key but how am I supposed to do this?"

(Flashback at the library).

*Playing on the computer rather than studying for the next exam. Looking at the pop up screen on how to defeat the final boss.*

Shigaraki: I have to rely on sound? So stupid.

*Says it a bit annoyed*

Overhaul: Should you be studying by now?

*Looks at him annoyed since he's hogging the only computer in the library*

Shigaraki: You have your phone so go away.

*Says it bit annoyed while continues to play the game.*

Overhaul: The computer is only used for research and clearly that's not research.

*Looks at the game that Shigaraki was playing.*

Overhaul: Better yet just make a conversation with it like taunting it. That's what I'll do.

*Looks at him calmly yet moved away from him.*

Shigaraki: You dumb or something I doubt that the demon will respond if I talk to it.

*Turns off the computer in frustration*

Overhaul: You never know until you try.

(End of Flashback).

"Tch in the end I'll use his damn advice."

(Out of his mind).

Shigaraki: Random created you right then you are a poor excuse of creature since you couldn't take me out!

*Yells it out loud. The yells echo throughout both sides of the sewers.*

(Meanwhile at the other side of the sewers the left side a few minutes away from Shigaraki).

Dabi: I thought I heard Shigaraki?

*Looking around for a moment but looked head after hearing the echo going throughout the left side.*

Overhaul: I heard it too but it sounds clos. However is it actually Shigaraki or it could be the fake one.

(In his mind).

"Highly impossible that could be fake Shigaraki since we just escaped from him but it's Random's creation so it could be possible. I guess it wouldn't hurt to check it out at least."

(Out of his mind).

Overhaul: Let's go see what it is.

*Says it calmly while looking at him*

Dabi: As along I got my human shield I'm ready for anything.

*Says it with a smile.*

Overhaul: Stop calling me that you idiot!

*Yells at him in annoyance*

Dabi: You complain about being useless but now your more useful than ever.

*Smiles at him*

Overhaul: Whatever let's just get going.

*Punches him in the face with his nub*

Dabi: Fine then.

*Walks along the path following where the sound is coming from.*

(At the other side of the sewers).

Shigaraki: ...

(In his mind).

"I thought I heard Overhaul and Dabi but it actually sounded just like them. So that means they're near by."

*Looking back at the direction where he heard Overhaul and Dabi's argument.*

"They're close but I need to focus on the enemy I don't want them to get hurt."

*Looking at the right direction and heard something coming up ahead. The sound of footsteps like someone is running right towards him. Looking closely and realized that it was the fake Overhaul appearing out from the shadows heading towards to his direction.*

"It did work so that means I could've won that game!"

(Out of his mind).

*Immediately ran right towards to him reaching out to grab a hold on to him already activating his quirk*

Shigaraki: It's over!

*Looks at him with a glare.*

Dark Overhaul: Heh no the fun is just getting started!

*Immediately dodging his hand and went under touching the ground to create spikes which pierced Shigaraki's hand.*

Shigaraki: Tch.

*Holding in a scream once the spikes chopped off one of his fingers. Stepping back immediately going away from the fake Overhaul. Grabbing on to his hand and looked down at blood dripping from the wound.*

Shigaraki: ...

*Looking down at the blood forming a puddle.*

(In his mind).

"I got his attention and yet he's fast if Dabi and Overhaul showed up then we'll over take him but how far away are they?"

*Looking at fake Overhaul who's disassembling the spikes. The growling in the distance grew closer and closer like they're closing in on them both.*

(Out of his mind).

Dark Overhaul: Boss will be happy to know that I killed one of his problems.

*Smiles slightly thinking that he won the battle*

Shigaraki: The battle is just beginning cause

*Using his other hand to touch the ground decaying everything.*

Dark Overhaul: Oh no!

*Stepping back and immediately used his quirk to create walls to protect himself from the decay.*

Shigaraki: There's no stopping my decay!

*The decay traveled throughout the entire side of the sewers causing damage to the city as well. The smoke from the sewers begin to fade. Looking up and noticed nothing but ashes.*

Shigaraki: ...

(In his mind).

"Did I won?"

*Looks around and didn't hear any movement or any growling is like they disappeared possibly from the decay. Breathing heavily since the attack taken huge amount of his energy. Hearing footsteps coming up right behind him.*

Shigaraki: Dabi...

*Looking back slightly and realized it was fake Overhaul smiling widely at him.*

Dark Overhaul: Nice attack but I'm way more better.

*Laughs at while disassemble and reassemble the ground however the ground is tainted with black liquid.*

Shigaraki: How did you survive that attack?

*Looks at him in anger while bending down again to use the decay attack again but realized that the black liquid is preventing him from using his quirk. Looking down at the liquid and noticed that it's everywhere.*

(In his mind).

"Don't tell me he planned it from the start or that was his counter move. It doesn't matter now since I'm done for."

(Out of his mind).

*Heartbeating fast thinking it's all over for him*

Dark Overhaul: Remember what I am is Random's Creation!

*Disassemble and reassembling the ground to create spikes.*

Dark Overhaul: "It's over for you!"

*Says it happily but felt pain on his back like something was burning his skin. Looking back slightly to see someone covered in blue flames*

Dabi: Don't you dare hurt my friend.

*Says it calmly while looking at him with a glare.*

Dark Overhaul: Where did you come from?

(Flashback).

(A few minutes away from Shigaraki's location).

*Hearing destruction coming from up ahead.*

Overhaul: Shigaraki is probably fighting someone we should help him. When I meant we I mean you since you still have your quirk.

*Gets off from him.*

Overhaul: Judging by the rumbling he's not that far possibly two minutes away.

*Looks at him calmly while walking up head.*

Dabi: Then let's go human shield.

*Grabs him by his nub and pulled him towards to the direction of the sound Two minutes later after running.*

(At Shigaraki's location).

Overhaul: ...

*Looking at the other version of himself. Staying quiet right behind Dabi.*

Dabi: Stay behind me.

*Says it quietly while activating his quirk and immediately shoot out an attack on fake Overhaul.*

(Now).

Dabi: Don't worry Shigaraki help has arrived cause I am here.

*Smiles slightly.*
