This time I will protect them I won't be a coward

97

Then Denki is brought face to face in front of All For One.

All For One's voice had gone deathly cold now as he spoke to Denki while Denki stared at him fearfully, "How you wound me angel by supporting my very own enemy and our time has been cut short. Before we part ways I must give you a gift".

Denki's eyes go wide with horror and he thinks to himself, 'Wait a minute was he going to take away my quirk and what gift!'.

Denki starts struggling against the bondage of red tendrils which held him now started glowing in a soft blue colour.

Denki could feel something silently and gently and coldly pulsing through his veins and he winces at the sudden coldness spreading through his entire body making him go limp.

Meanwhile All Might breaks through the debris and wreckage around him and goes rigid at the sight of what was taking place quickly then they anticipated and screams loudly, "No!...Master Gran Torino!".

Gran Torino gives All Might a knowing look and uses his quirk to propel himself forward as All Might does with his quirk the same.

They both needed to save the blonde boy.

It seemed like the master and pupil were going to attack All For One at the same time.

Gran Torino with his quick speed was able to break through the appendages that held the fragile boy and proceeded to pull Denki by the cuff of his shirt away from the line of the impact.

All Might sends a powerful wind punch towards All For One who easily blocked it once again while laughing evilly.

Right now Denki's mind was going through distortion.

He could feel the new quirk coursing through his veins silently and gently while humming with satisfaction in the new vessel which has become it's host now.

The very thought makes Denki shiver.

His mind flashes back to a distant memory of his time spent with his mom. He was having bits of flashes of his past memories.

He then falls with a thump on Gran Torino's chest and blinks as tears are running down his face endlessly.

When did he start crying?. Why is he feeling sad?. Why is he in pain?. Why was he feeling depressed? Where was he? What was happening to him?. Why did his friends not save him? Was he unworthy of being saved? Why are all his thoughts all jumbled up in a messy goo?.

Denki's golden eyes slowly move down below to Grab Torino's torso and sees a nasty gash all healed up leaving a closed up scar behind.

'How odd'.

Denki blinks confused at the scar and prods it lightly with his slender finger while Gran Torino puts his gloved hand overhead his head to protect him from the falling debris and tries to shield Denki as best possible as the fight had gotten much intense at the centre of the Kamino ward between the symbol of evil and the symbol of peace.

Denki after sometime feels an intense pain radiating in his stomach the same place where Gran Torino got slashed earlier and bites on his lips making the blood trickle from them and more fresh tears fall from his eyes and his world starts to fade slowly to black.

Now a distant memory flashes through his eyelids before everything goes black.

He did not want to revisit this particular memory.

It was a memory of his mother who was singing to him a song or maybe it was a poem he can't recall properly as he was only five years old at that time.

She was tugging him into the comforter of his bed while humming and singing to him.

It was her last day in Japan before she went back overseas to resume her Pro Hero duties.

He remembers it too vividly how she placed a quick kiss on Denki's forehead and went back to singing that song that was ingrained in Denki's mind.
