Unchained

Chapter 57 - This Is War

All For One and Tomura materialized into a sort of isolated field, far away from the actual base in Tokyo where the prisoners were being held, as the intense storm around them almost knocked Tomura off his feet.

They stood just about 3 feet apart from eachother, and Tomura was incredibly grateful that he'd decided to sleep with full outside wear.

Noticing the evident redness around Tomura's eyes, he asked "Poor, little Tomura." He remarked

"Did something happen that saddened you?" His robotic voice stood out amongst the whishing of the wind.

Tomura stayed silent, his previous expression falling to a more grim one.

"Now, now..." He warned "Don't give me the silent treatment, son. That won't end up well for you."

Tomura looked up at All For One, somewhat sternly as he spoke with his still-broken voice "I'm here, your trade was a success. Now, let the prisoners go."

"What a feisty little child you've become... Did the heroes teach you that?" Dismissing the behavior "Anyways, why don't we have a little talk, Tomura?"

Reluctantly, he agreed with a grunt, stuffing his hands in his pockets to hide that they were shaking.

All For One gained a more imposing demeanor "What you did, leaving the League just like that? Was incredibly shameful."

"But, what really ticked; was how fast you became so attached, and dependant on the heroes."

Trying his best to keep his resolve, Tomura kept his lips shut tight.

"How could you do that, Tomura? After everything we've worked for..." All For One attempted to step closer. "All that progress, gone in an instant."

Without a second thought, Tomura unintentionally let loose a flare of blue flames around him in defense, vaporizing the immediate rainwater that got close to it.

The flames stopped All For One in his tracks, his nearly nonexistent brows furrowing. "Trying to stand up for yourself, are you?"

"You chose the wrong person to cross, Tomura"

All For One slowly raised a hand, as Tomura felt himself be slightly lifted from the ground, terrifying the poor boy.

The nonexistent glare from All For One was ingrained into Tomura's mind as he spoke with a harsh tone "You know your manners when talking to your Sensei. Use them."

It appeared the suppressors had worn off by now, unfortunately. As Tomura's hands spouted another flare of bright blue. This time, he decided to use the misfortune to try and get himself out, directing the flames towards All For One's face.

Tomura was subsequently thrown violently away by the telekinesis quirk, the moment the fire hit All For One; Tomura's face skid across the ground for a moment before landing on his back.

With a scowl, All For One wiped his disfigured face with his sleeve and hissed "Now you've done it, Tomura. I'm the bad guy, now."

Terrified, Tomura let out a shaky "Oh shit..." As he got back up, his face scraped and scratched and his hands... Still on fire.

A news station helicopter flew overhead, a cameraman filming from the edge. Unfortunately, All For One seemed to be happy with this.

"Well, look at that. Free publicity!" He turned to Tomura again "You said it yourself, Little Tomura. Don't we both love some spotlight?"

Tomura could barely look up to see who was filming before he was suddenly knocked off his feet again with another bout of telekinesis.

Tomura winced as he tumbled once away, getting up, however, to see if he could get a hit in on All For One before he could be flung away again, which; he didn't come very far.
