The Takeover

Chapter Seventeen

Hitoshi stood in front of All For One. As much as he found out about him, he knew that All For one was dangerous. He could steal quirks, so he had to be careful. Talk it out. Get him to respond to something Hitoshi says. He knew it would be more difficult, seeing as how All For One knew about Hitoshi's quirk, and was probably prepared for him.

Still, he had to try. He needed revenge for his family.

"Hitoshi, nice to finally meet you." Or was he...? Did he seriously not know that Hitoshi knew? Did he think that Hitoshi was there to be business partners or something? He could go with that.

"You're All For One?" He laced his quirk through the words. Now for All For One to respond.

Much to Hitoshi's distaste, All For One just nodded.

"That letter, why did you write it?" All For One smirked at him. So he did know. That made Hitoshi's job a little bit more difficult. He needed to convince All For One that Hitoshi was on his side. How he was supposed to do that was the tricky part.

"Why aren't you answering my question. After all, if we're going to be working together, we have to talk to each other." He started to pace back and forth in front of the motorized wheelchair. Hitoshi couldn't win in a battle of strength. He needed to win at a battle of wits. It was either that or die.

He wasn't really that opposed to either one, though.

Still, he was met with silence.

"It's almost as if you know more than you are letting on. Is there something I should know?"

Hitoshi sighed, and pulled out a notepad. He really hoped that he wouldn't have to go this far, but he was going to kill All For One, no matter how long it took. He wrote down his first question and passed it over to All For One. (Slightly hoping he could control people through notes as well).

All For One wrote something down underneath it, and handed it back.

After stressful events, some people can forget what happened. I felt you deserved to know the truth.

So he was going for the long con. That's fine. He was prepared for that.

They went back and forth with their conversation. He asked some questions, and All For One asked some questions. He watched as All For One's stance got less and less guarded. He was breaking through the defenses. Good. He would still have to wait a little bit before he started talking to him verbally.

Still, he would get revenge. He would not fail his family.

After finishing their conversation, All For One pointed to a door and wrote down There's a room for you here, if you want it.

Hitoshi did not want it. He would rather eat [Redacted] than sleep in the same house as All For One, but he knew he had to. He hesitantly stepped through the door.

-----------------

Not being fed was pretty painful. They had gone a pretty long time without food, and were starting to get delirious. That's why when they heard a muffled crack, they were kind of confused. They looked to where the sound came from, and saw Hitoshi banging on the glass of the pod. After a few hits, it shattered, and the purple liquid came flooding out, followed by Hitoshi.

"wHAT THE FUCK!?" Hitoshi's hair was plastered to his head, and his clothes clung to his head.

Aizawa, Nemuri, and Hizashi were a little bit in shock.

"Hitoshi?" Hizashi was the first one to gain his bearings.

"Papa?"

"Yeah?"

"YOU'RE NOT DEAD?!"

"NO?!?!"

"Hold up, hold up," Nemuri cut in. "Why would you think we're dead?"

"Cause there were news articles, and... I didn't kill you?!" Hitoshi cut himself off.

"NO?!?!?!" Hizashi was getting progressively louder and louder.

"Yamada, shut it. You are going to get Hitoshi caught." By then, Aizawa had regained his composure.

Hitoshi looked over at the pods beside his, and frowned. "What happened?"

"We aren't sure. We woke up here," Nemuri admitted. Hitoshi walked over to the computer, and started to attempt to get in. He needed to work fast, and he needed to get his siblings out of the pods. (Though he did suspect that Midoriya and Shoto had a thing going on, but that isn't the point).

It felt like way too long before Hitoshi was able to get through the firewalls. During that time, he caught his family up on what had happened. They came to the conclusion that it was in his imagination.

He went to Pod #2 in the files, seeing has how his was Pod #1, and looked through the information.

Inhabitant: Himiko Toga

Age: 12 I accidentally typed 112, and honestly? I stan an immortal being.

Blood Type: A- I looked it up and I couldn't find her blood type, so I'm just making one up.

Hitoshi skipped through all the basic information, then got to the bottom, where it had some options.

Release inhabitant Drain tank Exterminate inhabitant

WARNING: IF YOU RELEASE INHABITANT, THERE IS A STRONG CHANCE OF EXPIRATION

Information on releasing inhabitant without expiration

Hitoshi wasn't too happy on the use of the word, "Expiration" rather than "Death", but clicked on it anyway.

The best way to release the inhabitant is to enter into the Mind Place and take them to the point of entry. This is how they will exit.

To do so, inject the purple serum into your left arm, and make sure you are sitting down. Find who you are looking for, and convince them of the truth.

Hitoshi looked around for something that could help, and found syringes.

He informed them of the situation, and they all seemed wary. For good reason, they were planning on injecting a mystery serum into their arms. Still, this was for their family. So, he opened the top of the tank (another option in the computer) and gathered some of the purple liquid.

Each of them gave an uneasy look before Hitoshi injected the liquid into their left arm. Hitoshi sat on the ground, and did the same himself. It was cold entering his body. The reaction was automatic.

He started to get dizzy, and dark spots danced in his vision.

The last thing he saw as he lost his consciousness was the door to the room sliding open.

It's spooky season, so I'm putting my favorite Spooky(TM) song up there. It makes me feel the spoop. :3
