Shota tried to catch Chris before he got too far. By the time the man got to the edge, he saw the body of his student on the pavement, blood splattered on the entrance to Heights Alliance. Aizawa screamed in anguish. Being a hero was a tough job, but it hurt more when you watch yourself fail to save someone. The scream woke up most of the campus.

Class 1-A was the first group of people to arrive on the scene. They were horrified, none more so than Bakugo and Izuku. Bakugo was horrified for a far more drastic reason. Izuku was horrified because of his own actions toward the boy. Everyone was mad at themselves. Chris had shown no form of hostility to anyone, but they shunned him as though he did.

Nobody knew how to react, but they followed the proper procedures. The following morning, they set out to have a proper burial. They made it public that one of their students had committed suicide, and they planned to bury him on school grounds. The name wasn't released to the public, but some people knew who it was.

Stereotypically, it rained when the casket was being lowered into the ground. When the earth had been poured back into where it was removed, a large group of people breached UA grounds. All of them had their right wrist showing. Their sleeves had been pulled back, it revealed a symbol that had faded from their bodies.

The students prepared to fight, but the heroes stepped aside. They understood the reason for their appearance. Five people stepped forward to discuss with the heroes.

"We are the Angels of Death. We are the best amongst The Unforgettables."

The students began whispering, but they were quickly silenced when they were reminded of what was occurring and what just had. All Might stepped forward to speak for the heroes.

"I understand why you are all here. Before he...left...he told us that you were all family. Pay your respects and take as much time as you need."

All of them paid their respects, except for a peculiar male. He simply punched the grave marker with his bare fist, causing a loud crack to sound off and blood to drain from it. When everyone was done, the Angels of Death told everyone to head back to the base and wait for them there. The Angels requested they speak with the people that knew him best. This consisted of Izuku, All Might, Aizawa, and...nobody else.

They made sure that they were alone before they discussed the details of why they are still at the school.

"Before we came over here, we found something of our boss's. It was a notebook that contained plans of what to do with the organization."

"Why are you telling us this?"

"Because it told us to."

Nobody thought it strange, but the heroes had an uneasy feeling.

"The notebook said that this was a failsafe. It said that if we found this, it means he died. He must've used a quirk to conceal this from everyone until his death. It has very specific instructions on what to do from here on out."

There was a pause for the information to be taken in by the heroes.

"Just know that we won't interfere with anything unless it's necessary to the plan we were given. We don't want any trouble."

The five made their way back to the base, having explained everything they needed to. After everyone was given a break to deal with the grief of losing their classmate, All Might and Aizawa cleared out Chris's room. The saddest thing about the room was...how it was already packed. When they saw the boxes, All Might started carrying the smaller ones down. Aizawa went to the largest one, thinking it would be the heaviest.

The pro tried to lift it but found an envelope attached to the backside of it. Shota opened it and began to read. Then, he called All Might into the room.
