Ryou looked back at the school behind him one last time before joining Endeavour and Sunny.  Originally, the plan was for him to accompany Midoriya on his hero internship, but obviously, that changed because of Silver's arrival.  Endeavour felt now was the time that Ryou was to obtain Divine Hearld Zi-O.

One way or another, all this would finally get put to an end.

"Ryou.  Come on."

Ryou nodded. "Yeah."

Sunny looked up to Endeavour. "So how are we supposed to find the Divine Zi-O power-up?"

"Both of you are the answer.  It's not something a hero like myself can do unfortunately.  Because both you and Ryou possess the Kamen-Ride Quirk, Divine Zi-O should be connected to both or one of you."

"I think I get it.  So kind of like a Spidey Sense?"

Endeavour gave Ryou a weird look. "What the hell is a Spidey Sense?"

Ryou shook his head. "Nevermind.  Anyways, how do we know which direction to go?"

"I don't know anything.  Everything you know is what I know.  You two are supposed to be the people to figure this out, since this is your area."

"Oh well, great.  So we could be running in circles for all we know."

"Not really, Ryou.  Let's think for a moment.  Where else could we go that your family would know you could go to?"

Ryou closed his eyes.  Where?  Where could they possibly go...

"The lab Doctor Genus went to was destroyed...so that's a bust...but..."

Ryou opened his eyes and turned to Endeavour. "I think I know why you're with us.  Is my dad's lab here?"

"It's on the other side of town.  But it's been abandoned for a long time, and searched over and over."

"Let's get a cab." Ryou whistled a nearby taxi to pull over.

The trio stood in front of an abandoned building, covered in moss, dirt, and looked like it had been falling apart piece by piece.

"We knew your father's research was important, and they motioned for this building to stay.  To inspire other scientists."

Ryou ran his fingers across the cement of the building.  It was cool to the touch, and he pictured his father, in his lab, working.

"This is the place."

"Are you sure?"

Sunny nodded. "It's like my brain is telling me there's something in here, and it's sure."

Ryou opened the door, to find the hallways empty, like everything had been raided.  Absolutely nothing.  No lab equipment, no clothes, nothing.  Just dirt, cracks in the floor, and decay.  Nothing more.

"It feels like stepping through a time machine..." Endeavour said, eying the place up. "So much history here."

Sunny peeked through a door once they entered the building, to see empty desks with no drawers.

"Wow...they really took everything."

"They didn't want any of the research to fall into the wrong hands...so everything else being worked on here was destroyed for safety, and the remaining staff relocated." Endeavour said.
