A Dance to Death

A fight

"Pandora, Pey, you'll attack before we all do. You two need to take the heroes off guard. Now that Izuku Midoriya is back in UA, the heroes won't be as focused on him," Shigaraki explains.
Pandora nods her head in agreement. I, on the other hand, didn't agree with this.
"Why are we taking them off guard? I mean, wouldn't it be more effective if all of us were fighting?"
"I want them to never know when we are actually going to attack."
"They won't hold back on Pandora, or me."
"Good. They shouldn't."
Pandora placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder.
"It'll be okay, Pey."
I placed my hand over her hand, my face worried, and unwilling.
I can't do this again, Pan. It's just going to be the two of us. What if we can't do it? What if we get captured, or worse? Please, Pan, convince him not to do it.
Pandora saw my pleading eyes, and walked over to Shigaraki. I saw Pandora pleading, and Shigaraki's persistence. I reached down to grip onto Dabi's hand. He turned his head to face me.
Ever since talking with Mariko, and talking with my dad in the void, I have been acting distant. Odd for me considering I'm always around Dabi. I decided that I wanted to think for myself, think why I'm here. I know there's more to my cause than trying to stop oppressors, but I don't know what.
Dabi squeezed my hand, his eyes softening for the first time in a while. It was finally Touya holding my hand. Touya and Ushy, two peas in a pod.
Who are Dabi and Pey?
Pandora let out a defeated sigh, holding Shigaraki's hand. I can tell how much she pleaded, but he didn't budge. She nodded her head, backing down like she always does.
"Pandora, Pey, you're going now. I don't want to hear anymore arguments," Shigaraki demanded, shooing Pandora and me away.

"My name is Pandora Mika. I'm a humble follower of All for One and Tomura Shigaraki. That is all you need to know," Pandora bluntly stated, hand sewing a hole in a black, long sleeved shirt.
I rolled my eyes.
"So your only personality is following people?"
"No, I don't trust you guys yet. I will tell you more when I start to trust you."
I clicked my tongue.
What a weirdo.
The first few months flew by, and Pandora still seemed kinda off. She didn't seem connected to anyone but Shigaraki whatsoever. I decided to sit next to her one night while everyone was out.
"Pandora, why are you so closed off?"
"I don't know. I don't feel closed off," She replied, turning a page of her book.
"But you are. In a way, you remind me of myself."
"I'm nothing like you."
"How would you know that if you never speak to me, or anyone but Shigaraki?"
She placed her book down.
"Why don't we get to know each other then?"
"Okay. You start."
She took a deep breath.
"When I was younger, I felt nothing," She softly began, "I tried everything from harming myself, to harming others. Nothing ever worked. I tried getting a crush, but I couldn't muster up the ability to love. One day I decided, if I can't feel anything, I'll save others the heart ache of being around me. I took a jump off of a building that wasn't too high, but high enough to do damage, possibly death. I woke up in a hospital with none of my family there. I asked if anyone visited, and the nurse said no. There was a shock in my heart. For the first time, a tear rolled down my cheek. When I was released from the hospital, no one came to pick me up. I rotted away in an alleyway for a few weeks when a man came up to me, holding his hand out, and offering everything I wanted as long as I served him well. All for One trained me, saved me, did everything for me."
I was shocked at how emotionless her face was as she explained everything.
Jesus, she really is crazy.
"Now, Pey, tell me about yourself."
I smirked.
"Buckle up, buttercup, it's going to be a wild ride."

The heroes surrounded Pandora and me.
"I told you, Pan, you should have fought Shigaraki harder! We can't take all of them."
"If we need to escape, we can. It's only a few heroes."
"Yeah, a few strong heroes that can definitely kill us."
She threw more bombs in an attempt to get them away from us while I attempted to create weapons out of shadows.
"Pey, you need to hurry! I can't take them all by myself!"
"I'm trying!"
"Try harder!"
I managed to create a small sword and flung it at a hero that was trying to fight Pan.
"Thank you!"
"Yeah, no time for thanks, we need to get out of here!"
She nodded her head in agreement, grabbing onto my hand as I ran away from the heroes.
I'm not losing another person to the heroes. I know if we stay for much longer, we'll die. I don't care about myself, but I care about Pandora. Shigaraki should think about more than his cause.
Then... In a flash... I heard a thud... I stopped... I turned around...
"Pan?"
I fell to my knees, grabbing her face.
"Pan, wake up!"
A pool of blood came from her side.
"Pan!" I screamed, my hands shaking in rage.

"Who will you choose this time, Peyusha?" A male voice asked.
I turned around to see a shadow of my dad.
"Go away," I demanded, my entire body fueling with adrenaline.
"Ushy, you have to choose. Turn yourself in, or die with Pandora."
I covered my ears, but more shadows surrounded me.
"Go away!" I screamed, tears running down my face.
Pandora's fine!
Shadow versions of me surrounded Pandora and me, attacking the heroes. I looked up at the heroes falling down. I weakly stand up, making a gun out of shadows.
One hero standing.
I loaded the gun.
"What do you villains want?" The pathetic hero asked, yelling.
"Heroes gone."
A loud bang went off. The hero fell to the ground. The shadows around me slowly disappeared.
I don't have any energy. I'm sorry Pan...
My eyes slowly closed as my body lost all feeling.
