The cough racked Mei's body as her chest heaved in pain of the scarlet rot in her body. But she kept fleeing, tripping into the rotted swamp water of Caelid
Behind her ensued a Cleanrot Knight, so she quickly scrambled to her feet, pushing through the agony within her, hoping just to reach the reinvigorating light of grace.
She was the last of her class left, even power loader... no she couldn't think about that now. She had to live, for them! She would find the other people who had ended up in the graveyard that she did, and she would raise an army, and get her revenge on that bastard Godrick.
She kept running, her vision fading, she took a drink from her flask, but it was empty, no more Crimson tears.
The cleanrot knight swung its halo scythe, launching a golden ring of light that nailed Mei in the back, causing her to scream out and fall to the ground.
The knight approached, raising its weapon, intent on finishing the job when -in a flash- its head was gone. And standing behind it as it fell in all his glory for Mei to see? Izuku Midoriya, prodigy of 3-B, with a prosthetic arm and a massive katana extending from it.
"Hey Hatsume" he said, not a shred of emotion behind his words. "Catch" he tossed her his Crimson Tear flask, and another strange bottle, she caught them and drank from both, the rot dissipating from her, her wounds closing, and body being healed.
"Woah Izuku. What happened to you" she said looking him up and down seeing a seemingly endless amount of scars coating his skin.
"When our class ended up here I was alone in the Haligtree with Katsuki... but he didn't make it out of there"
Mei gasped quietly, "Is that up on the Altus Plateau? I never made it up there"
"It's much farther away. Either way... do not trust the woman at the grace. I serve a much higher order, and under Ranni's Age of the Stars the Lands Between can be repaired"
