◆Chapter 125◇

"He's right. Now we're running out of time, so the both of you listen close to what I'm about to tell you," the second user said.

A cold chill shot down Miyuki's spine and her hand flew to her head where that man's voice still echoed.

What... What the heck was that?!

"What was that?" She asked out loud, panicked. "W-Where did that come from just now...?!"

"Calm your heart, both of you. Or else he'll catch wind," continued the Second user. Miyuki's mouth clamped shut, but her body tensed, as did Izuku's as he tightened his hold on her hand. "Girl, do you see it? That big dark mass inside your onii-san."

Miyuki shook her head, mouth wavering, mind racing to keep up with everything. Everything was happening way too fast for her to understand. One moment, she was up in the air fighting her brother, having half of her Quirk ripped out of her by him, and now she was listening to disembodied voices inside her head while her best friend lay semi-conscious beside her? Telling her that... their Quirks were connected?

"Focus, Yuki-Chan," Izuku rasped. He squeezed her hand, snapping her out of her train of thought. "Focus... I know you can do it. Sorry. It's a lot to ask of you all at once, but..."

She swallowed heavily, took a shaky breath, then tried to do as the second user asked. She wasn't entirely sure just how she was supposed to look inside Zin's mind, but she decided closing her eyes was a good start. A sparkle of light blinded her momentarily as soon as she did. When she opened them - Or at least it felt like she had opened them - she saw a black ball of curled feathers in the middle of an abyss. Upon closer inspection, she noticed battered buildings and fractured homes on it, their debris floating in the darkness. Cars, toys, clothes, body parts... any thing and everything was all...

Destroyed.

Her breathing hitched. How... How is this...

What... is it?

"It's made up of every little kernel of melancholy and anger within him. His frustration, his discontent, and his memories, too. All were drawn together into a single, united mass," the second user explained. "It represents his unshakeable resolve. A spirit solidified by raw hatred. However... Yagi noticed a rift. It's likely a scar from his battle against Star and Stripe. Not a physical scar, but a mental one that refuses to be healed up by his regeneration."

"What's that... got to do with... One For All?" Izuku rasped.

"Now that he's absorbed All for One and taken half of her Quirk, Zin is far too powerful. Neither of you stands a chance pitting strength against strength. So we need to attack from within. The transfer of One for All will smash at that scar. We'll pry it open... and give his soul a direct beating."

Miyuki exhaled deeply. "That... That is so risky."

"The transfer will... Smash the scar? How?" Izuku asked.

"Hold on! None of this makes any sense! Transferring One for All will just give him our powers to wield!" Said the sixth user frantically. "Like how he already absorbed Shinomori!"

"I'm using a broader meaning of 'transfer' here! Try to keep up!" The second user said. He turned to the foggy yellow visage next to him as it peeked over his shoulder a little. "Hmm? A visualisation? To get the gist...? Sure, sure, I've got the right one... When that childhood friend of yours and your boyfriend hands you both stuff, how does he do it?"
