Darkest Before Dawn - 25

Chapter 25

“You sure it’s fine for me to come here?”

“Creepy, I’ve told you a bunch of times,” Jiro told him, rolling her eyes as she moved behind him and started pushing him. “Come on, will you? There’s nothing to be worried about.”

“I mean, you said your parents know,” he mumbled, dragging his feet forward at the slowest of paces. “Th...

Notorious, so Notorious

“And this-” Joshua said, pausing for a moment to cover his mouth and yawn. “-is a simple way to connect wards between each other so that Draining Wards can power others. One could say that a Draining Ward together with another one, whichever, could be considered one of the simpl...

Chapter 24

“Fucking hell,” Mineta cursed with a groan, looking to the world like he had met his homework nemesis as he stared at the sheets of paper in front of him. The poor boy held his head, his eyes desperately darting around as if that would somehow help him find an answer to his questions. “Why don’t I find this shit anywhere?”

“Language, and what ...

Follow Your Heart and Nothing Else

Joshua had been upgrading, re-setting and generally going over the defenses of Kuoh for a while already. After all, part of his life was there now with Jeanne and Asia going to school there and him having his cafe in the town. So, much like he did with his own home and the ...

“This is the most adorable thing in the world!” Hagakure exclaimed, seemingly pulling his newly developed beowolf puppy into a hug. “You have to have one of these around at all times, I demand it.”

“And so it shall be done,” Kazuki commented blandly, even as he wore a smile on his face. It was nice to see one of his creations...

My Mind’s Got Its Own Plan Tonight

Joshua looked, head slightly tilted, as the spar went on.

Margalo had perched herself on his shoulder, while Cheshire stood next to him in her cat form. Nagini and Morag watched from further away, since they were too big to really stand close by without getting in t...

“Group’s getting big, huh?” Kazuki mumbled, looking around as he arrived at the training facilities after he was done with Hound Dog. Sure enough, the group he’d been usually meeting and training with was growing by the day, it seemed. Off to one side, Jiro, Kirishima and Ashido were doing some weight training. On another part, Yaoyorozu and Mineta were...

Faith Is Moving Without Knowing

“No offense, but you being here is kind of worrying,” Joshua commented, receiving an elbow to his side courtesy of Jeanne and making Cheshire sigh. In front of him, Griselda’s eye twitched and Xenovia and Irina looked at him like he was a confusing, disturbing and insult...

Chapter 21

As Kazuki walked to school after the day off they had after the USJ incident and the weekend, he tried to push what had happened to the side. He ignored the pain in his chest whenever he breathed too deeply. He paid no heed to the memories of his last loss of control. He just wanted to get on with things.

Kazuki knew, after all, that none of it could be s...

“Are you ready?” Joshua asked as they reached their destination. “Didn’t forget anything, right?”

“We have everything and yes, I’m ready, Mr.-” He fixed Asia with a hard stare. “Joshua,” she mumbled, a slight smile on her face. That was more like it. He’d put u...

“You were a reckless idiot.”

“I was,” Kazuki admitted with a sad smile.

“You let your Quirk take over again, deliberately sabotaging yourself, if your recount of events is to be believed.”

“I did,” he agreed, looking forward but slightly down. He didn’t have the courage to meet the person’s eyes, as it was. He’d ...

When a Part Felt Too Hopeless

Joshua sat outside of his house, looking towards the backyard as Rias’ peerage trained against his familiars and the Fallen trio. The latter group was much less cohesive than the former, but that was expected, all things considered. They were still putting up a decent fight, t...

Chapter 19

[Shota Aizawa]

Pain was a very prominent thing in his mind at that moment.

Above that, however, was the concern for his students. He’d charged in, attacking the villains as he was used to. Diving into a situation with little information and the weaker hand was a familiar situation for him, much as he hated that. It was a necessary...

“They are going to start catching up, Joshua,” Serafall told him, for once sounding serious. “One base is one thing, but two? They’ll be expecting you.”

“And I’m expecting that,” he replied with a slight smile and a shrug. “So, it evens out, right?” View Post

Chapter 18

[Shoto Todoroki]

Throughout most of his life, his stance in regards to his Quirk had been very solid. Fire was bad and Ice was good. Fire would burn and destroy anything and everything. Ice, on the other hand, was safe, for the most part. He was determined to prove that to the world and rub it on his father’s face that his fire was good...

Mt. Moon IV

[Narcissa]

The conclusion she had arrived at was that Mt. Moon was awful. Mainly because caves were awful, really. There was so little space to fly in that Narcissa felt like she was in a cage. Somewhat like being in a pokeball, but not nearly as comfortable. At least in the devices, it felt fine to just stay still. In ...

“There’s a chance that these villains got around the sensors!” Aizawa called and Kazuki really didn’t like the grim feeling he was getting from the man. Especially combined with the… resolute way he was walking towards the villains in question. “Thirteen, evacuation procedure and try to call the school. You too, Kaminari, try to use your Quirk to co...

Mt. Moon III

‘This might have been a bad idea,’ Pierce thought, narrowing his eyes as he took a deep breath in. Pursing his lips, he was only able to look as Narcissa flew through the air, dodging the rock that flew at her.

“Iron Defense again, Narcissa!” he called once the move was over. With a frown, he wondered how he could tackle this.
