Chapter 7 The Beginning Of The Maze

Ashton: Damn.

Clutching his fist tightly but stopped just to calm himself down. Hearing footsteps coming in very quickly looked back slightly just to see Sebastian coming in fast.

Sebastian: I got you.

Tackling him down to the floor.

Akane: You got him!

Goes towards him including both Midoriya and Hiromi.

Midoriya: But that little girl isn't with him! Where is she?

Looks at Ashton who's currently being held down by Sebastian.

Ashton: Someone took her.

Says it calmly as usual but his tone seems to be cold due to the current situation.

Hiromi: He's probably talking about the one before the other Yakuza group.

(Meanwhile on the other side of the forest).

He woke up slightly just to find himself on the floor along with a few others.

Dabi: What the hell?

Looks around to see that he is in a forest that looks dark and spooky which could be found in a horror film.

Klaudia: Where are we?

Looks around feeling a sense of dread and despair it's almost like so many people have lost their lives here.

Takumi: Did we were attacked by not even knowing?

Looks around the place just to see a fog appearing.

Dabi: Maybe but good thing I finished having sex with Klaudia before this happened just imagine having sex and then being teleported and we both were still naked that would be bad.

Looks over at Klaudia with a smirk.

Klaudia: Yeah that would be bad but who who would've thought I enjoyed myself? However unfortunately this is a one-time thing.

(In her mind).

"Or is it? I have to admit that he's a good kisser but pretty sure a woman from his world would love to have him. Shame for some reason I want to be with him."

(Out of her mind).

Sighs slightly but gets over it quickly.

Dabi: I have an idea how about we head this way?

Points at an unknown path that appeared right in front of them just a few minutes ago.

Takumi: Alright let's do it.

Says it calmly.

All three of them begin to follow the path.

(At the other side of the forest).

Mochizuki: Where the hell am l?

Looks around feeling a sense of dread.

Mochizuki: Kai?

Looks around to see if he's nearby but doesn't seem to be. Walking around the forest still feel frustrated but it seems to be overturned due to the current situation.

(In his mind).

Mochizuki: Did Kai leave?

Wondering to himself while walking blindly but accidentally bumped into something or someone since he wasn't looking mostly busy lost in thought. Looking up slightly just to see Kaien along with someone else who he hasn't seen before.

Mochizuki: Kaien?

Shocked that he couldn't believe that Kaien was here in all places he slowly reached out to him but stopped since what happened last time.

Kaien: I- um could help us?

Looks at him shyly as he struggles to carry Overhaul.

Mochizuki: Oh yeah sorry I got him don't worry about it.

Smiles at him as he helps him carry Overhaul.

Overhaul: W-What just happened?

Says it weakly while struggling to stand up.

Mochizuki: That's what I want to know.

Says it calmly while helping Kaien carry Overhaul.

Kaien: M-Maybe if we stick together then we'll be okay...

Says it softly yet nervous about being with Mochizuki since it's the first time seeing him since that day.

(On the other side of the forest).

Akane: So we were too late?

Frowns since they're too late to rescue the young girl.

Ashton: Kaito from Satanic Slaughter Yakuza has messed with the anomaly and now we're stuck in this place. We have to find the anomaly.

Says it calmly while getting up and dusting off the dirt from his suit.

Akane: We? I don't think so since not after what you have done.

Looks at him with a glare.

Ashton: We have to. It's the Middle Corporation's job to get rid of the anomaly.

Looks at her with a glare even though it was right behind the gas mask.

Akane: Oh now you want to act like a police officer! I wish you acted like a police officer before you decided to hurt a child who didn't do anything wrong to you!

Slaps him hard causing a crack in his gas mask.

Ashton: ...

Looks at her confused wondering why she slapped him.

Akane: Why would you want to hurt a child Ashton?

Getting angrier than before after thinking about the horrible abuse the small girl has gone through.

Ashton: The Orbilence comes first since it's a dangerous disease. I'm the only one who can cure it.

Says it in a cold tone as he uses his energy to heal the crack that was on his gas mask.

Midoriya: I'm sorry to interrupt but I guess we have to work together it's the only way to get out of this place and to find the young girl.

Looks at everyone, especially Akane.

Hiromi: He's right since it's the only way to escape so we have to push our differences aside.

Looks at everyone but mostly toward Akane who is most upset.

Akane: Fine but I'm only doing it to save the girl since I have to make it up to her.

(In her mind).

"If only I noticed it sooner and none of this would've happened."

(Out of her mind).

Sebastian: If he messed with the anomaly then it would be hard to find.

Looks at everyone.

Ashton: That's true I don't sense it at all how interesting if only I had taken care of it sooner.

Says it calmly while completely healing himself.

(In his mind).

"I could barely sense Eri but letting them know that won't gain me anything since curing the Orbilence comes first. I'm so close I could feel it."

Hearing movement that's among the forest it's bad enough that the fog makes it unseeable. Using his energy to know what was among them but for some reason, it wasn't working at all it made him confused yet intrigued.

"So interesting I do love the unknown but judging by Kaito and what he does for a living it's something more than it meets the eye."

(Out of his mind).

Midoriya: Did anyone hear that?

Looks around the area after hearing multiple movements around them. Hearing demonic laughter close by.

Hiromi: We should get going.

Activating her energy a bit but noticed a black fog coming in very quickly.

Akane: Time to run!

Everyone started to run away quickly heading toward who knows what.

Sebastian: Ashton if you're feeling scared you know I'm here for you! I'm here to protect my precious bottom!

Smirks at him while running right beside him.

Ashton: You bastard don't talk to me while we're running away!

Slowing down a bit after feeling a bit tired.

(In his mind).

"The dark fog is sucking up my demonic energy I'm getting weaker."

(Out of his mind).

Breathing heavily as he starts to slow down.

Sebastian: Already getting tired Ashton? Don't worry your Top is here.

Smirks slightly as he immediately carries Ashton bridal style like what grooms do to their brides.

Ashton: ...

Blushing red even though it was right behind the gas mask but didn't complain about it at all.

Akane: ...

(In her mind).

Smiles slightly looking at those two while running away from the fog.

"I know I hate him right now but oh how much I love gay romance I should keep reading more fanfiction."

(Out of her mind).

Midoriya: Everyone I see two paths ahead but which way?

Looks at everyone for a short moment.

Hiromi: I think we should go right.

Looks at Midoriya since there was no time to think about where to go.

Midoriya: Alright!

Everyone heading toward the right path.

Midoriya: ...

Looking back slightly just to see the black fog stopping.

Ashton: The black fog was absorbing my demonic energy I think it feeds off of negativity.

Breathing heavily while trying to explain it to them.

Sebastian: Makes sense but what lies ahead on this path?

Looks at everyone calmly while carrying Ashton.

Midoriya: I don't know to be honest but I hope it's the right way.

(Meanwhile on the unknown path).

Hearing demonic laughter all around them made everyone feel uneasy.

Dabi: Don't worry guys this is the right path I promise!

Says it a bit reassuring to everyone even though the demonic laughter all around them is making his words feel like shit.

Takumi: It's the only path so I can't complain.

Walking slowly right behind him.

Klaudia: They're multiple creatures watching us his in the fog there's eyes.

Says it calmly while looking at both Takumi and Dabi.

Dabi: I say we walk faster!

Grabbing onto her hand and immediately starts walking faster along with Takumi.

Klaudia: ...

Blushing slightly looking at him.

(In her mind).

"Damn these feelings I have to not fall for him."

Shakes it off as she remains calm around him.

(Out of her mind).

(At the other side of the forest).

Kaien: ...

Falling on the ground breathing heavily.

Mochizuki: Kaien!

Slowly putting down Overhaul gently on the floor as he went to check up on Kaien.

Mochizuki: You okay?

Looks at him concern.

Kaien: I lost energy for some reason but I could keep going.

Says it weakly as he slowly falls asleep.

Mochizuki: Kaien.

Hearing footsteps coming all around him already panicking but immediately uses his energy to pick up both Overhaul and Kaien. Running through the forest trying to get away from who knows what is out there.

(In his mind).

"How did we get here?"

(Out of his mind).

(Meanwhile at the Sin Orb Kingdom).

Anastasia: My two pets are gone and I think it has something to do with you!

Turns around to look at Kaito angrily.

Kaito: Yeah isn't it hilarious I just love playing games with my future victims. Toying with them until they break.

A twisted smile appears on his face while messing with Eri's horn.

(In his mind).

"Ashton would be so upset if he knew that her horn was no longer there. The part that makes her power work. We may be comrades but I do enjoy breaking a police officer's spirits."

Smirks slightly.

(Out of his mind).

Anastasia: If Kaien or my new pet gets killed in your world I'm going to kill you!

Glares at him with hate.

Kaito: Ooo how scary but there's always an exit in my world however it's going to be hard since choosing the right path it's more difficult than it looks. Paths can lead to different destinations since the world I create is a maze.

Smiles happily while closing his eyes.

Kaito: I could see everything on each person is doing and if I'm nice enough I could point them in the right direction by putting up paths or putting notes. However, I do enjoy toying with them since I love games.

Lying down on the Demonic Symbol that he drew out of Eri's blood.

Kaito: I guess let the maze begin.
