"...Basil. Funny seeing you here, friend."

Basil looked similar to how Omori last saw him, but there were same apparent changes. There were visible bags under his eyes, and his Quirk was activated, something which the boy usually avoided for reasons unknown. Vines delicately wrapped around his arms, and brightly colored flowers decorated them, some blooming in his hair.

"I...I didn't expect to see you here, Omori." They clenched their fists. "W-What are you doing here?" 

Omori put a finger to his chin. "Oh jeez, I don't know, Basil. Maybe I'm visiting USJ of all places while a class full of wannabe heroes is training-OBVIOUSLY I'm a part of UA now! What else did you think?" He practically yelled, scratching his head. "It's obvious that you're apparently a villain now, but what the hell are you doing in Japan?" Basil bit his lip.

"I-" "You know what? I don't even want to know." Omori sighed, summoning a knife, the edge sparkling. "According to current laws, a hero can technically kill a villain and get away with it rather easily. Maybe that rotten system will work in my favor, for once." He smirked as he threw a knife at Basil's neck. He managed to dodge at the last second by summoning a wall of vines. The knife, its strength enhanced by Sunny's Quirk, only stopped when the tip of the knife was an inch away from Basil's eye. However, Basil didn't see Omori suddenly appear behind him. He was kicked in the back. He yelled when he hit the floor, nearly hitting his head as vines withered.

"You're Quirk's pretty powerful, but it becomes useless if you're not focused." Omori droned on. Another nameless villain tried to attack him from behind. Where her hair would be was replaced by a large, bubblegum colored jellyfish that shot its tentacles at his sides. They were cut off within seconds, and the woman shrieked. "You-!" 

And then the woman's head was cut off, a clean cut gushing blood as she collapsed.

"Oops..." Omori looked at the corpse, nudging it with his foot. "Oh well. According to the law, which is really inhumane, I can get off with little more than a slap on the wrist. Funny." Yet his voice wasn't amused at all.

"But what about you, Basil? Practice your plead all you want, you're going to jail for the rest of your life." Omori's eyes seemed to almost glow as he bent down in front of Basil, who was cowering on the floor.

"I don't...I didn't want this, I just..." Basil seemed to be at a loss for words, trying to justify his actions. Omori just scoffed before looking around to ensure they weren't being watched, then held his hand out. "You're so lucky." He muttered under his breath as Basil shakily took his hand, standing up.

Basil was tearing up. "But...why? I'm...I'm!-" "You're a killer, and so am I, get over it." "But-" "Hush."

Omori sneaked Basil over to a corner with less villains and heroes. "Look, I'm only doing this because you're 'my' partner in crime, so no more crying." Omori wiped the tears off of Basil's face, sighing.

"Thank you...so much." Basil smiled warmly...then a villain's body came flying towards them.

"Ah!" Basil shrieked as he immediately created a wall of vines, blocking the body as it fell to the floor with a sickening 'thump'. Omori cringed at the sound.

"So...Is he alive?" Omori went to check on the villain, stomping on their stomach over and over again. "...Yeah, he's definitely dead." Omori kept stomping on the villains stomach, to which Basil cried out, "W-Wait, stop!" Basil pulled Omori off of the body. "I'm starting to think you're the real villain here..."

Omori's head perked up at the sound of the door of USJ opening...and his expression turned dull as All Might came waltzing in.

"...You know, I'm seriously considering joining your little gang of emo misfits." Omori sighed, rubbing his temple. "I...I hate this."
