Eri made her way through the labyrinth of the Shie Hassaikai compound. She looked through every corner for any sign of Stain. She soon encountered a group of Yakuza thugs.
Yakuza Enforcer: There she is! Don't kill her! Overhaul wants her alive!
The Yakuza thugs begin to surround her, but Eri quickly arms herself with her sword and customized combat knife and readies to fight.
Yakuza Enforcer: Come along quietly and you won't get hurt.
Eri says nothing as she begins cutting through the Yakuza thugs.
Yakuza Thug: Where the fuck did she.....argh!
The Yakuza thugs are cut down with ease. It was only Eri and the Yakuza Enforcer. The Enforcer gets readies his sword as he's shaking in fear. Eri clearly sees this.
Eri: I'm going to give you one chance. Walk away and you live.
The Yakuza Enforcer charges at her, but Eri sidesteps and lands a slash at the Enforcer's Achilles Tendon, sending him to the floor. Eri then puts her knife against the Enfrocer's throat.
Eri: Where is Stain? Where are you keeping him?!
Yakuza Enforcer: I'm not telling you shit you little bitch!
Eri: Fine. I'll find someone else!
Eri then proceeds to slit the Yakuza Enforcer's throat. After killing him, she goes further into the labyrinth. She soon reaches a room where people are talking.
Yakuza Thug: So what's going on Doc?
Doctor: I don't know. It must be those Hero Killers that Overhaul is after?
Yakuza: You think the rumor's true? That Eri's one of them?
Doctor: I don't know. It's a possibility.
Suddenly, the sound of gunfire erupts through the labyrinth.
Eri: (Must be Aizen.)
Yakuza Thug: That's fucking gunfire! Gotta go check it out!
The Yakuza thug runs out of the office, not noticing Eri. Once the Yakuza thug left, Eri enters the office to confront the Doctor.
Eri: Hello doctor.
Scared, the doctor pulls out of a gun and shoots at Eri. Instead of firing bullets, the gun fired injectors. Eri uses her enhanced reflexes to dodge the projectiles and kicks the doctor to the ground and steals the gun.
Eri: What's in the gun?
Doctor: T...t....t....t...t....the Quirk Destroying Drug!
Eri: So trying to use myself against me?
Doctor: You're.....you're Eri?!
Eri: Where's Stain?!
Doctor: The Hero Killer?! I....I...don't know!
Eri then takes her knife and presses it against the doctor's throat.
Eri: I'm in no mood for bullshit! The last guy who refused to answer ended up dead! Now tell me where is Stain!
Doctor: I don't know! Please! I swear to God! I don't know! Please......please don't kill me! I....I have a wife.....and t...t....two children! Please!
Seeing the doctor in front of her overtaken by fear, Eri takes pity on him and pulls the knife away. Eri was not about to take someone from their family.
Eri: Get out. Go to your family and never come back. Find an honest job to better provide for your family.
Doctor: I.....I will! Thank you! Thank you!
The doctor then got up and ran for the exit. Eri then took the gun and checked the clip.
Eri: (Two injectors of the Quirk Destroying Drug? This might help.)
Eri then holders the gun and continues making her way through the labyrinth. As she does so, she feels rumbling beneath her feet. Suddenly, a hand bursts through the wall of the labyrinth and grabs Eri. She sees that the figure grabbing her was Rikiya Katsukame.
Katsukame: Welcome home little Eri!
Eri takes a knife and begins stabbing the giants hand, but only laughs as he throws her against a wall.
Katsukame: That tickles! Did the Hero Killer teach you that?
Eri: I'm not here for talk? Where is Stain?!
Katsukame: Why not we go to him? Overhaul's waiting.
Eri: You're going to tell me! Then I'm going to kill Overhaul!
Katsukame laughs at Eri's threat.
Katsukame: Just like that?! That's funny coming from you! If you think killing him is gonna be easy, then you got a rude awakening coming your way!
Eri: I don't care! This nightmare ends tonight! Starting with you!
Katsukame: Overhaul told me to bring you alive! Never said anything about how alive!
Katsukame charges at her, but Eri rolls out of the way. Eri then jumps on Katsukame's back and begins stabbing him with her combat knife. Katsukame then grabs her and tosses her to the ground. Eri then feels her vitality going from her.
Eri: Y...y....your Quirk?
Katsukame: Don't bother struggling girl. I'm stealing your vitality as we speak! As soon as you're out, we're going to have a family reunion. As for that Reaper, maybe we'll run into him! Maybe I'll crush him!
Hearing that threat made Eri seethe with rage. Her malefic aura soon took hold.
Katsukame: What're you doing little Eri? There's no....
Katsukame soon found himself paralyzed by Eri's malefic aura. She walked up to him with bloodlust in her eyes.
Eri: For too long, Overhaul's shadow has kept hold of me! I was weak, but now I'm strong! I'm going to make good on my promise! I'm going to kill Overhaul! No matter what I must do! Overhaul will die and so will his entire organization!
Eri then proceeds to kill Katsukame with her sword. Her bloodlust soon wavered as she finally made it to the entrance to Overhaul's office where the Reaper was waiting for her.
Grim Reaper: You okay? I heard some rumbling going on. Was that you?
Eri: No. It was Katsukame. He's dead.
Grim Reaper: Had a run in with Deidoro Sakaki and Soramitsu Tabe. But as you can see, I'm here.
Eri smiles at the Reaper as she glances to the door to Overhaul's office. Fear begins to plague her mind as memories of Overhaul's cruelty came to her.
Grim Reaper: So this is Overhaul's office.
Eri: Yes.
Grim Reaper: Stain's in there.
Eri: How do you know?
Grim Reaper: Got it out of Sabe before feeding him lead.
Eri: Can you trust him?
Grim Reaper: No, but we don't have any other choice. You ready? Once we do this, there's no going back.
Eri: I've suffered this nightmare for long enough! Overhaul dies tonight!
The Reaper smiles under his mask and he and Eri kick down the door and ready themselves for their confrontation with Overhaul.
