*Saiko's PoV:*

I fly through the air to meet up with Tomura. It was pretty easy to ditch that other guy; he didn't even want to fight—that fool.

*Flashback, right after Saiko was removed from battle:*

"Bastard, you have some nerve," I say. This guy just sent me through the underside of some pavement, so he was going to pay. I get into a fighting stance and summon chains.

"Wait, I do not wish to fight you," the cloaked man said. He sounded familiar.

"Yeah? Boohoo. I wouldn't wanna fight me either," I said.

"Then you should get rid of those chains," he said. He removed his cloak (which did a lot) and showed me his face. I stepped back in shock. It was me, but different, older. His left eye was missing, replaced by a fake, and his right eye was orange, not red.

"You're... me?" I ask, shocked.

"Yes, from an alternate future. Primus has sent me back to talk to you," I, he, Saiko (?) said.

"Who the hell is Primus."

"Unimportant. Listen, you need to ditch Tomura and help Y/N."

I started to chuckle, then laugh, before I stopped. The other me looked unimpressed.

"You're serious?" I asked.

"Yes. The future I come from is the worst outcome. All For One gets Y/N's body. And with Y/N's new Hyperdrive power-up, All For One became unstoppable. He then hunted every one of his children down, starting with me. I barely survived," he said.

"You look fine to me sans the ability to copy mutant and transformation-type quirks," I said. He then took off his shirt and showed me how wrong I was. First off, I could see his lung. Yes, lung. He only had one. His left arm was also missing, and he seemed to be using an energy quirk as a replacement for the missing arm. He also peeled off some of his face, revealing his teeth and jawbone.

"Shit," I said.

"No kidding. This is the result of helping All For One," he says.

"Sure it is," I say, not believing him.

"Excuse me?"

"Sure it is. I have to admit, you had me fooled there. You are some sad attempt to turn me in. What did Y/N make a copy of himself and make it look like that? There's no way Father would do this," I said.

"Search your feelings; you know what I'm saying is true."

"Whatever, I have places I need to be," I said and flew off. He started to fly after me but then clutched his heart and fell to a knee. I kept flying.

*End flashback*

Toga had told me where the fastest route to the nearest villain hospital was. After following it, I eventually catch up to Tomura and the others. They had Overhaul on the ground.

"I see you all started without me," I said.

"You took too long," Tomura responded.

"Yeah, got held up," I said.

"Gentlemen, we have business we need to attend to," Compress said. I look down and see that Overhaul is missing an arm or part of his arm. His hand is still there, but it's not attached.

"Indeed," I say.

"Two little boxes. Which one holds the finished product?" Shigaraki asks, pulling out a single box.

"You should just take both," I suggest. Shigaraki put the box away.

"That's mine," Overhaul said.
