Test of Power and Infiltration

Toshinori stares at the two of them with an evil grin and both Lady Nagant and Stain are surprised by how Toshinori looks. "Be careful Nagant, Toshinori's different than before." Stain says. "His face is all you need to figure that out Stain." Lady Nagant replies which cause Toshinori to laugh maniacally. "You stare at a demon yet dare to speak with such recklessness?" Toshinori asks which makes Lady Nagant grin slightly. "You were a lot better looking before you did whatever you did to make yourself look so ugly." Nagant replies. "I suppose looks are a small price to pay for power. If you want a taste of my new achievement I will gladly show you!" Toshinori says before dashing to Lady Nagant but Stain grabs her and quickly escapes from Toshinori's attack. "Such speed!" Stain says to himself before Toshinori immediately appeared in front of him to which he quickly tries to cuts Toshinori but Toshinori grabs Stain's knife with his bare hands. This surprised him but Lady Nagant quickly uses the opportunity to shoot Toshinori but he disappeared as soon as she fired. She rushes to Stains side and Toshinori appears in the distance walking towards them with a maniacal grin. "What happened to him? His strength is unimaginable." Stain says. "His speed is nothing to scoff at either. We are in a serious bind." Lady Nagant replies. "If I can just get his blood, we can finish him." Stain says before Toshinori disappears again but Stain quickly realized he was going for Lady Nagant and barely managed to stop him by quickly getting in front of Nagant and blocking his hand with his knife. "Run Nagant!" Stain yells to which Lady Nagant quickly shoots Toshinori in the head and successfully hits but he didn't die. Stain quickly to lick the blood off of Toshinori's head but he was quickly grabbed and thrown away before getting the chance and Lady Nagant runs away. "That was close, otherwise you would've paralyzed me." Toshinori says to Stain who begins to stand up. "Your such a headache, you know that?" Stain says. "It's truly an honor to hear that coming from you." Toshinori replies before wiping the blood off of his forehead and the wound closing almost instantly. "How am I going to deal with this monster?" Stain thinks to himself but he couldn't think for long as Toshinori dashed towards him. Stain tries to dodge again but to his surprise, a black rope came out of Toshinori's hand and grabbed his foot before throwing him to the ground. "What was that?!" Stain says to himself which causes Toshinori to laugh maniacally. "Yes, this is my new powers Stain. You can't escape me no matter how much you try." Toshinori replies before Black Whip came out of his hands while looking like sharp spikes but suddenly Toshinori gets shot multiple times in the head and across his entire body. "There you are." Toshinori says before disappearing and appearing behind Lady Nagant and grabbing her neck. "Why did you run away Nagant? I was hoping for an up-close in-person reunion before I killed you both." Toshinori says before jumping off the building and slamming Lady Nagant on the ground which causes her to cough up blood. Toshinori lifts her and punched her in the stomach which sends her flying into another building. Stain rushes towards them and Toshinori grabs Lady Nagant before slamming her back into the ground. Stain pulls out his knife and gets closer and closer and Toshinori was about to attack when to his surprise Stain threw his knife and it stabs his arm and suddenly he gets shot in the bottom of his head by Lady Nagant which causes blood to splatter everywhere which Stain uses the opportunity to lick the blood off the ground and finally Toshinori was paralyzed.

Stain now breathing heavily pushes Toshinori off of Lady Nagant and helps her up. "We need to get out of here. Toshinori has a blood type of A so he won't be paralyzed for long." Stain says to Lady Nagant. He turns around and grabs one of his knives and stabs Toshinori in the chest before turning around and walking away while helping Lady Nagant. They were about to leave when they were stopped by someone. "Where do you think you're going?" the man says. "For fuck sake. What do you want Kamui Woods?" Stain asks. "I heard someone was slaughtering the people of the city. This got me upset that anyone other than me could fill the hearts of the people with fear so I came to see who dares to take my place." Kamui says. "Well, you're in luck. The guy you're looking for is right there." Stain says while pointing behind him to Toshinori. Stain holds Lady Nagant tight before trying to help her walk away from the scene but Kamui made a wall of wood to stop them. "I didn't allow you both to leave." Kamui says and Stain turns to Kamui. "This is the only time a villain like you will be let off the hook by me. No matter how much you try to make me fear you, after fighting the monster back there you're nothing more than a fly compared to him." Stain replies before walking around the wood wall and walking away. This infuriated Kamui. He turns to Toshinori and walks towards him. "A mere subpar villain like you dares to make the heroes fear you?!" Kamui yells which makes Toshinori laugh a bit. "Who are you exactly?" Toshinori asks with a grin which infuriated Kamui further to which he stabs Toshinori in the stomach with his wood. "I am a villain so dangerous most countries fear my name." Kamui replies before ripping both of Toshinori's arms off. "So, your not from this country?" Toshinori asks. "Exactly, and I will make you remember my name." Kamui says which causes Toshinori to laugh and Kamui stabbed his stomach again to which Toshinori laughs harder. "How dare you laugh at me!" Kamui yells before making a piece of wood stab his eye out but Toshinori kept on laughing harder and more maniacal. Kamui then proceeded to punch Toshinori again and again and again while demanding him to stop. "How can you still laugh in your state ?!" Kamui yells preparing to punch him again but before his punch landed Toshinori grabs Kamui's fist. "What?!" Kamui says. "I'm laughing because you're the first person I've met who does not know who I am." Toshinori says with a smile before finally getting back up. "Take a long good look at me and tell me who I am." Toshinori says while bringing his face closer to Kamui to which he realized he was staring at One For All. "One...For...All?!" Kamui says which causes him to widen a maniacal grin. "Exactly." Toshinori replies with his maniacal smile seemingly enjoying the fear growing in Kamui's eyes. "I recognize you. You are Kamui Woods. A fairly dangerous villain with his name plastered as wanted in 4 countries. It's an impressive feat but it's nothing compared to mine. I'm a monster with a bounty on my head all over the world." Toshinori says with his maniacal smile before grabbing Kamui's head and crushing it, killing him instantly. "This is getting very entertaining." Toshinori says before coughing up blood. "What?!" Toshinori says to himself before looking at the knife embedded in his chest. He pulls it out and throws it away and tries to heal the wound and while successful, the pain could still be felt inside his chest. "What happened to me?!" Toshinori says before turning back and leaving the city, rushing back to Professor Mab.

Stain and Lady Nagant rest in one of the corpse-filled buildings from Toshinori's killing spree. "Are you okay?" Stain asks to which Lady Nagant nods. "Whatever Toshinori did to himself, he is far too dangerous to be left alive." Lady Nagant replies and Stain agrees. "There's no way we can face him in our current state. We were lucky I managed to get a drop of his blood at all, otherwise, we would've been killed on the spot." Stain says. "We need to figure out his weakness otherwise the world could be in danger with his new strength." Lady Nagant says which causes Stain to pause for a moment. "Lady Nagant, can you walk?" Stain asks to which she nods. "I should be okay now." Lady Nagant replies. "I will try and infiltrate Toshinori's building and see if I can find anything about his transformation and any possible ways to reverse it or find some kind of weakness." Stain says. "It's too dangerous to go alone." Lady Nagant says. "I'll be fine but this is something more important than my life. You should go and let the other heroes know what monster we'll be facing. I'll try to get as much information as I can before returning back." Stain replies. "I guess there's no convincing you now is there?" Lady Nagant says to which Stain shakes his head. She sighs and stands up. "Very well, but where do we meet so you can hand us the information?" Lady Nagant asks. "In the forest near his building. I'll try to stay there till midnight to gather information so you should arrive there by midnight and give me at least 1 hour. If I don't get out in 1 hour then assume I was killed and flee the scene immediately." Stain says to which Lady Nagant silently agrees and Stain walks out of the room.
