"Why did you do it?" Kowareta asked.
"BECAUSE IT'S FUN!" Mūn'u-ōkā said, "Why do people want to be heroes? because they like it! they like the pride they get. So why can't we be the same, We like the sorrow- the sadness! why can't we kill just because we like it?" 

Kowareta couldn't believe it. All of that- for nothing. 
"Oh, I loved her screams! The way she cried- begging me to let her go. The way her blood felt on my fingers, warm and dark. Filled with sorrow." Mūn'u-ōkā said, his sharp fingernail on her jaw. He went behind her and said, "I wanna hear you scream! I wanna hear you cry! I wanna hear you beg for forgiveness!" and just like that bit her neck, blood rushing out. 

It hurt her. But she didn't dare scream. She felt a stab on her chest and looked down to see a piece of glass stabbed in her chest. She gasped but kept her mouth shut.

"SCREAM! I wanna hear you scream and cry!" Mūn'n~ōkā rages. "Why won't you scream?"
An arrow hit Mūn'n~ōkā's chest.
"Cause her mouth is taped SHUT idiot!" (It wasn't but you know) Akira screams.
Mūn'n~ōkā looked around and another arrow hit his chest.

Soon all of Class 1-A arrived. Akira went over to help Kowareta.
"Where are the pro heroes?" She asked.
"We came across some Nomu's on the way. Taking care of them..." Akira said.

Mūn'n~ōkā summoned a Nomu, a different one from the others and ran away. Kowareta was injured so she stayed aside.

Midoriya punched the Nomu but it dodged the hit, landing a rock hard hit on Midoriya's back. Midoriya fell to the ground and the hit was so hard, it made a dent on the floor. Todoroki made a wall of ice. It pierced right through the Nomu, and the Nomu was shattered into pieces. However, it soon recovered and came back into its position. 

"Wait, What!" Akira said. 
"That's a different Nomu- it can change back into its shape!" Midoriya said. 
"Well, then how do we kill it?" Akira asked. Midoriya didn't reply. 

Akira teleported to the back of the Nomu, One hit. Front, One hit, Side, two hits, top, three hits. It still recovered. They tried attacking at the same time, attacking from different positions- nothing worked. 

Wolves howled in the distance, The full moon was here.

"Wait!" Akira said. "We have been trying to kill it from the outside. What if we try to kill it from the inside?" 
"How do you suggest we do that?" Yaoyorozu asked.
"We need something to go inside of him and kill him internally, without any external damage! Of course!" Midoriya explained.

"But what..." Akira looked at Kowareta, "Poison..." She said. The Nomu had enough. He attacked, landing furiously fast hits.
"You need to use your quirk!" Akira said to Kowareta. 
"I can't! not even 0.0001% even if I wanted to! The full moon... I'll turn into her and I won't be able to transform back" Kowareta pointed out. 

Akira thought for a moment then took Kowareta's hand, "Listen to me... You are the most capable person I have ever met! You keep trying and never give up! I'm sorry for being such a bad friend, I couldn't help you. You have a complicated past and an extraordinary power never have I seen before." 

Tears filled Kowareta's eyes. "I can't, It would mean-" Kowareta started.
"It doesn't have to mean you become evil. It's just not in you. Your heart is just too good, and even if you do transform into her, I'll make sure you come back I promise!" Akira said, "The decision is yours..."

-flashback-
"You have a dark side to your quirk don't you?" (Tokoyami)

"How did you know" (Kowareta)
"You can trust them..." (Tokoyami)

-flashback-
"You almost KILLED Todoroki and Bakugo" (Momo)
"It's my quirk so I decide how I want to use it!" (Kowareta)

-flashback- 
"Why should I? I only needed your quirk to smash that wall" (Kowareta)

-flashback-
"So, Eri what do you want to do?" (Kowareta)

Kowareta stood up and nodded. She closed her eyes, and let it happen. She transformed into her. The moon turned red. 
"Cover your mouth and hide!" Akira shouted. 

The Nomu hit Kowareta, but she dodged it. Then she released an enormous amount of Poison from her eyes and hands. Purple mist filled the alley, Everyone's eyes glued to the Nomu so they could see what happened. The Nomu stopped and then it burst apart! Into tiny little pieces, turned to dust and disappeared. 

The mist cleared and everyone came outside. "Kowareta...."
