~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I groaned in pain. My whole body was shaking in cold sweat. I felt dizzy and weak. This wasn't as harsh as the experiments I was used to suffer under AFO's care, but even so, this was still torture. Especially since my quirks had been nullified by a drug he composed and injected into me.

My body wasn't handling the inability to using my quirks. This was far worse than those quirk cuffs. I hissed as Chisaki took another blood sample out of my left arm.

"Ch-Chi-s-aki! What's you're goal? You've been doing this for hours. At this rate, I'll be bloodless." I heavily breathed out. "Or do you enjoy torturing your prisoners?!"

"You don't understand." He spoke calmly, "You're infected. You're all infected with quirks."

"You do realize the irony of you using your quirk and Eri's to purge quirks right?" I spoke with a wry smirk. The weariness I felt was making me forget my fear; I was beginning to hallucinate. Thus gaining false courage to talk back to him.

"As I said before you don't understand. No one does. But this... this'll help the Shie Hassaikai be what it once was, before heroes took us down in hiding. We'll be respected and our organization will prosper... and it'll all be to pay him back..." his tone seemed to calm down as he spoke towards the end.

Pay back who exactly? "You won't succeed." I spat with a deep breath.

"Hm? You're starting to speak nonsense." He disregarded my comment.

"Must be all the blood loss, Chisaki." I hissed as he made another cut into my flesh.

He then proceeded to inject me with something, I noticed a greenish light flickering in my arm. Was that some sort of device implanted in me?!

I heard him sigh. "No matter how much blood I take from you, I still can't seem to get the right formula to get rid of at least one quirk. The quirk erasing bullet is still not strong enough to erase at least one quirk of hers. It's not working." I heard him mumble the latter part to someone else. He seemed very frustrated.

"What do you suggest we do, Overhaul?"

"Looks like the monitor embedded in her arm will have to stay. Once the effect is over we'll have to add another dose. Meanwhile, I'll examine her blood. I need to find a way to get rid of her immunity quirk."

If I weren't so tired, I would have scoffed. If there was one thing done right by All for One, it was making my quirks, especially the Immunity one that's difficult to consider whether it's even a quirk or not.

But even so, Chisaki is a smart man. For the sake of humanity I hope he doesn't find the correct drug to erase quirks...

Time Skip~

I don't know how long has passed, being locked within a room with no walls gives me anxiety and claustrophobia but most of all disorientation. But even so, I try not to show it, just like with Hiro, I try my best to remain calm; it's for the sake of Eri.

"Don't be afraid Eri, I've got you. And soon enough, the heroes will come and you'll be able to smile again."

"How... can you be so sure..." her voice trembled.

"We're a lot alike Eri." I told her as I caressed her hair.

"Really?" her ruby colored eyes widened.
