You didn't expect Shirakumo to suddenly explode like that. Perhaps like Lady Nagant, All For One planted a failsafe just in case things went wrong. Perhaps this reason was your doing when you escaped from your tube and went on a rampage in the underground laboratory 5 years ago.


Probably after your escape, All For One and the Doctor didn't want anyone else to go against their deal or purpose. So they inserted that plot armor to prevent the heroes from gaining an advantage.


You opened your eyes.

Darkness...


'Not again...' You thought. The explosion must have knocked you out, causing your brain to fall apart along with it. Because of that, you were unconscious for the time being as your body slowly melded itself back together. But that's the least of your worries.


Your head was against the hard flat surface of the floor, which seemed to be in many magical colours, each in crystal pattern, although there wasn't any light at all.


You sat up, noticing the familiar void once again.


Standing up, you said, "Alright, are we doing this again?"


Silence...


"You know I'm just gonna run away, scott free, right? Just like the many other times you tried to take Eri's pocket watch."


Still silent, no response came back to you. Not even your echo of your voice. It's as if you were in a dark world that goes on forever.


"Hello?" You called out, "Anybody?"


*Bonk!*


"Ow!"


Something fell on the top of your head, it was hard. You looked down whilst rubbing where it hit.


It was another pocket watch...


Like all the ones you've seen, it was made out of gold, but this one shined in 2 ever changing colours. One second it was shining in a cyanish colour before fading into a purple glow.


It was faced down, so you couldn't see who it belonged to. You picked it up and took a glance at its face. The screen was cracked, like yours, but the hands were still slowly ticking. For a moment, you saw the face of Kurogiri on the cracked glass, then Shirakumo's reflection afterwards.


'This is probably their pocket watch.' You assumed, analysing it.
