Chapter 107. Dabi
Deku quickly spoke up, he didn’t even seem to notice Toga. “They got Kachan, and Tokoyami! We're chasing them back to where that magician took them!! Come with us I need your help!!” ‘Deku doesn’t seem to have any broken bones, so it seems he was able to lead ‘muscle dude’ to the others for help and finish him quickly, good.’ I nodded “Awase please hold onto Momo, Toga I need you to come with me.” She seemed to like my commanding tone and the others were just confused of who she was, but had no time for that. “Shoto, throw us forward in the air with your ice, Shoji you can break our fall with your tentacles right?” They both nodded and got into position. “Deku direct our aim in the air! Everyone hold onto each other!”
I yelled as we were being launched up in the air. I held onto Shoji like Deku and Shoto, but Toga was just using this excuse to hold onto me. Once we were in the air I could see the magician. "There you are you bastard..." I said under my breath. Deku pushed his hand with enough pressure to steer us over him. We all landed on top of him, and I immediately took stock of our surroundings. I saw Dabi and Twice, but before I got too carried away I put electricity into my hand and shoved it in the magician's face through his mask. He started shaking from the shock. Dabi noticing this tried to save him by shooting flames at us. As the others ran away I grabbed the magician and held his limp body in front of me. Causing him to take most of the flames straight to his face. His clothes burned off, revealing his bare torso, and he seemed to be passed out from the pain.
“Careful of that friendly fire Jackass.” I said laughing a little bit. I am in ‘2nd Gear’ now. I took out the marbles from the magician's mouth and stomped on his crotch. The others that noticed winced when they saw me. “I know you're faking it! Let them go or I will get your friend or myself to make you extra crispy!” He compiled and they were both released, along with Ragdoll for some reason. I looked back over to Dabi with my right eye, and my left arm glowing. I was putting in more charge subconsciously with how angry I was at him. “Do you know what I almost lost because of you?” I said coldly. Deku, and Shoto had already seen this kind of rage in me before, but this was new to the others. “Not only you tried to kidnap these three, you also left a rampaging monster that almost killed Momo…” I heard an “oh no” coming from behind me.
“I tried to understand you Dabi, I really did. But guess you just can’t be reasoned with. You really are his son...” Hearing me say this made him lose his smile. “You do know that if she was dead, you already would be, right?” He shot his blue fire at me, which I blocked with his friend again. “Not gonna work, jackass!” I yelled as I went into ‘Overdrive’ and took off towards him. I dropped the burning Magician, and grabbed Dabi by the neck paralyzing him. My body was emitting a deep color of red from my arm grabbing him. My glowing eye was the only part of my face that could be seen. I saw his eyes slowly fill with fear. I started to laugh wildly while holding him in my hand. He was paralyzed and burning from my grip. “Now, I know I’ll be taking you to prison. The only thing I don’t know is whether you’ll still be able to ever walk again when you get there…” I said in between chuckles while simultaneously gnashing my teeth. Seeing his fear made me laugh, but I was still full of rage at him.
I could see the fear in his eyes grow massively at that last statement though. “HaHaHa there it is! There is the same look he had after I was done with him!! Like father like son so they say!! HAHAHA!!” He just stared at me in horror as I was bellowing laughter at his face. “Hey! Jackass!” He looked back at me as I was right in front of his face. “So according to your logic, Whoever is stronger in a fight gets to beat, maim, and kill the weaker one right? So... what do YOU think I should do to you?” I said while snickering while looking dread in his eyes. He shrunk back a little bit at seeing my smiling face of madness. I grabbed his paralyzed throat tighter, causing burns to form and sizzle. “Why aren’t you agreeing with your own logic Dabi?” I tilted my head at my question, as Dabi looked at me with nothing but fear in his eyes.
"Denki! You need to stop!" I turned around to see Deku shaking, but altogether standing firm against me. "I don't want to, but I will fight you." Deku took another step forward, but froze a bit at the sight of my gaze. I could feel my heart twinge at the sight of Deku like that against me. I looked back to Dabi to see his smiling face. "Heroes, always have to hold onto their morals. Too bad..." I was tired seeing his face and kicked him in the gut. "Villains, always so prideful. You could have beaten me easily. Too bad..." He heaved a bit as I kicked him again. Just as Deku was about to grab me to stop, I put in more power into Dabi's neck to paralyze him for a while. I put more in than I have ever done before, so I honesty didn't know if he would ever get his movement back. I then tossed him on top of the magician.
"Someone else take him before I change my mind." I still wanted to do more, to make sure he suffered as he should, but I couldn't take that look Deku, and probably the others were giving me. 'Momo wouldn't want this...' I sighed as walked away from everyone else. While everyone was still shocked stiff of what they just saw, I walked up to twice and whispered something into his ear. “I'm not a perfect person, but I'm still trying to be a hero. You are a much better person than I am. Toga has decided to join us, you can try and make that jump too.” I then walked away while joining the rest of the group being led by Deku and Shoto, both dragging a villain behind themselves. We all left Twice, I think I was the only one who still remembered he existed to be honest. Nobody ever seemed to notice him.
Everyone just walked in silence I was helping Tokoyami to walk after he got out of that pill form. Shoji was helping both Ragdoll and Bakugo. as we were walking I noticed a distinct stare coming from my left. Toga was beside me drinking up all of my craziness. ‘I guess she really does like someone darker.’ I took another sigh to try and fix my emotions. After a while we made it back to the others at the campsite. I heard what happened to Kyoka, and what the gas was when I got back. I nearly killed them both in a fit of rage, but Aizawa stopped my quirk from activating when I was told, and held me in place with his capture tool. "Just one Shock! Just give me one shock!" I screamed as I was being held back by him. I knew I would have fried them both if he didn't though.
I was only able to kick them both before I taken over to where they were keeping the injured. I had all of this rage that refused to go away. It just kept boiling in me, and I had nowhere to put it. That is, until I saw inside the medical tent. I saw Momo, Mina, and Hagakure standing near Kyoka’s bed. In one heartbeat all of that rage had transformed itself into grief. ‘I didn’t remember this in the show! I thought they were able to take care of the poison guy before anyone was affected for the long term! Why!? I feel like I don't know anything anymore!!’ I just cried while holding her hand.
After a while, I had released a lot of my emotions, and was feeling better and more stable. It was time to let Kyoka go and get proper rest. I was walking with Momo, Mina, and Hagakure back to the others. I found Toga hiding amongst the crowd. I pulled her out and took her to see Aizawa. I whispered into her ear. “I need you to admit that you were the one who told me all the information I had on Dabi, say his real name is Toya, also.” She looked at me with a fevered gaze. “Can I have some of your blood if I do?” I sighed. “Sure, you can have some. But only if you do a good job.” We met up with Aizawa and he looked at Toga with a serious expression.
“Aizawa, this is Toga, former member of the league of villains. Toga, this is my teacher Aizawa. Can you please explain as much as you can?” Aizawa looked between me and Toga, then Toga opened her mouth. “I love Kaminari and I left the league to be with him!” Hearing this I just put my head into my hands and took a deep breath. “Toga… I’ve had a very long day. I know you only joined those guys on a whim of wanting to fall in love, but please… Just remember how thin the ice you’re on.” I was having a hard time not smacking her with a paper fan, but I had to hold myself back. Momo and Mina were not too thrilled about this development either.
I sighed as Aizawa looked at me. “I tried to explain to her how her thinking was wrong, and now she is interested in me.” I finished that last part covering my face in embarrassment of having this being talked about with a teacher. She grabbed my arm and tried to stab me again. I grabbed the knife and threw it on the ground. “Seriously, where do you keep getting these?” She giggled as I sighed in exasperation. “Anyway I think Toga could help you guys find the villains and hit them where it hurts. Momo and Awase managed to attach a tracker to a Nomu, if they brought him back home then you should be able to find it easily.”
Aizawa’s expression was of disbelief of what he was hearing. I shook my head, and looked back at Toga. She had a large smile and her face was completely red. “I take it the summer camp is over, but I don’t exactly know what to do with Toga. Obviously the pro’s need to talk to her, but I don’t think she’ll talk without me being present. I promised her help, and no matter how crazy she is, as long as she doesn’t hurt anyone then I intend to hold up my end. So I need to stay with her while you guys vet her. So where do you have in mind for us to stay?”
Aizawa stared at me for a little bit before releasing a heavy sigh. “Why do things always turn out like this when you’re involved?” I shook my head. “I don’t know, I just know that I am tired, mad, and emotionally exhausted. I found out that was Shoto’s brother and lashed out at him just like his father. That family seriously has issues.” I sighed as I sat down on a seat with Toga, never letting go of my arm. Hearing what I said Momo, Mina, Hagakure, and Aizawa froze. I expected that reaction so I let them work through it. Aizawa was the first. “Are you saying that kid covered in burns is Todoroki’s brother?” I sighed and nodded. “Yup, Toga told me his name was Toya. I already knew a little about the dead relative from the news. Figured he was him considering his fire quirk, took a shot in the dark and he reacted. You could get a DNA test if you want, but I’m 90% sure it’s him.” I sighed at the end of my fake conjecture.
