Deku, The Next Wielder of The Omnitrix!

Chapter 170: Wish In The Dark!

-AT NIGHTEYE'S AGENCY-

"Why couldn't I bring myself to tell them what I saw...?  Another Midoriya...!  With the League of Villains...!"  Nighteye thought as he stared at his hands.  "Was it simply out of fear...?  Or was it something else...?  Instinct...?  Or...  Is this...  The use of a quirk...?"

Nighteye stares at the palms of his hands as a quick flash of AFO Deku's face rushes through his mind.

"What in the world...  Was that place I saw...!?  More importantly...  WHO did I see in that vision...!?  Was it even a vision...?  Or...  Was it...  The beginning of something else...!?"  Nighteye thought as he shook once more."

"Shh... Remember... Just... Our... Secret..."

"Even so...  I can't just ignore what I just saw...!"  Nighteye thought as he clenched his hand closed.  "No matter what may happen to me, I have to let them know...!  I must- "

"Naughty naughty... Thinking of telling your little group of rag-tag heroes of our little secret...?" AFO Deku's voice said into Nighteye's ear, making him sweat even more.  "And here I thought we had a mutual understanding of one another...  How sad.  Truly, there is no trust in this world."

Nighteye glances over his shoulder and sees AFO Deku standing over him with a sinister smile, chuckling slowly.

"Y-You...!" Nighteye muttered as he quickly got up from his seat and turned around, taking out the High Density Seals from his jacket pocket.

"Are you sure you want to do that...?" AFO Deku said as he asked in front of Nighteye's desk.  "So quick to stamp your own death certificate.  I don't believe I've ever met a person more eager to die than you."

Nighteye turns back around and sees AFO Deku standing in front of him, chuckling to himself as he stared at Nighteye.

"It's too bad... Out of every other counterpart of you I've met in the multi-verse... You are by far one of the most interesting ones... I don't know how you did it, but you managed to slip into the Cradle of Eternity and peeked into our plans..." AFO Deku said to Nighteye as he ran his hand across his desk.

"How are you here...!? How did you- "

"Am I really here?" AFO Deku asked as another hand is placed behind Nighteye's shoulder. "Or are you finally losing track of your own reality?"

"Who... Who are you...!? You look like him, you sound like him...! But I know... You're not Izuku Midoriya...!" Nighteye asked.

"Very observant... It's... Hard to say these days. In the past, I was once Izuku Midoriya... But now... Who can say for certain now? The scale within my mind... Shifts from time-to-time..." AFO Deku replied as he looked around the room, glaring at all of the All Might posters and cut-outs around him.  "Once upon a time, I resided in a room very similar to this office of yours...  Pictures of my idol, every piece of merchandise I could get my hands on decorated every inch of the walls that housed my own delusions..."

AFO Deku walks over to the cut-out of All Might and glares at it intensely.

"Admiring heroes...  Worshipping them like gods...  Justice...  Injustice...  Good...  Evil...  Right and wrong...  It's all just one big illusion.  There's only those who can change things...  And those who can't."  AFO Deku said to All Might's cut-out.  "There is no meaning to any of it...  Those concepts only have weight to them when those in power give it meaning...  And the fools who accept this as fact..."
