— "FOR WHAT?" hound dog growled.
"i've seen him before." ectoplasm said. "he's that villain who's always posting those foolish videos online."
hound dog scoffed, grabbing gentle criminal by the collar of his suit and lifting him to his face with startling ease, "who fought you?"
"n— no one." gentle replied shakily, hands up in surrender.
hound dog leaned down and sniffed gentle's shoulder, growling in annoyance, "you obviously had some kinda fight around here."
the criminal's once elegant clothes were tattered and torn in several places, dirt scuffed on his knees and making home in his hair. he grunted. "i told you, i tripped and fell. that's all."
ectoplasm's clones didn't seem very convinced of gentle criminal's story either, the entire group standing off to the side with their arms crossed. "it's just you two?"
"that's right—"
"stop lying! there were more people here before! i've caught the scent of somebody from our school!" hound dog yelled. "what'd you do with our students?!"
and then, with coincidental timing, izuku and i slam down onto the ground from the sky. we both let out pained groans in unison as the dirt collided with our injuries, a cough shaking my body.
ectoplasm and hound dog's heads snap toward us.
gentle let out a sigh, "in my years as a scoundrel, i committed many crimes."
la brava whimpers, crawling over to him.
"but my greatest sin was to kidnap and brainwash the innocent girl you see before you. my actions were self-serving, though i claimed to be a gentleman, for i am one who has lived his entire adult life thinking only of himself."
the corners of his lips turn up into a slight smile.
"all the blame lies upon my head, so, i implore you to pardon manami aiba."
la brava shook her head vigorously, shakily grabbing into the side of his coat and leaning all her weight onto it to tug it down. "no, no, no!"
hound dog let out a huff, his grip loosening on gentle's collar as he sharply turned to face izuku and i. "did you two fight this man?!"
