I lay my head against the table, sighing in frustration. I take the pen in my hand, slowly gliding it across the table. All for One sits in front of me. I don't move, not wanting to look his way.
"Shigaraki told me you signed up to go to U.A." He calmly says. I don't respond, nor do I move. My eyes relax, and I slowly close them, pretending he's not here. "That test takes place a month from now, is that right?" He asks. I furrow my eyebrows but keep my eyes closed.
"Why am I meeting here with you? Where is Tomura?" I sigh. I slowly lift my head to see his armored face. I wonder when he got so ugly. I think to myself.
"I thought it would be nice for me and you to talk again, Violet."
"Yeah..." I let out a breath, almost forcing it out. I lean back in my seat, staring at him. "I have a question..." I calmly say as my eyes drift towards him. "Tomura spoke about breaking into U.A. and killing All Might... and I did my research, and all- first off... how is Tomura going to get in? The place is heavily guarded... and second off... how did you know All Might is going to be there? There isn't any news or report of that."
All for One sits quietly, not answering my questions right away. I furrow my eyebrows and push my white hair to the side. He leans back a bit in the chair.
"That's a lot of questions. Are you interrogating me? Are you asking me these things so that you can share this with the heroes...?" He asks. I squint my eyes at him.
"No..."
"Good... doing so would only hurt you, my child."
"How would it hurt me? You never make sense when you talk."
"To answer your question, I have my ways of finding out information..."
"I can see that." I sigh again. I cross my arms and look away from him, examining the room.
"Violet... can you take a walk with me?" He calmly says as he slowly stands up. I slowly look back at him and then away. I take a deep breath and stand up. He shows me out of the room and leads me down a long pathway. The place we are in is an abandoned hospital far away from Tokyo. These places are usually filled with dead air... but since All for One and his goons occupy the place, it's not... unfortunately.
We walk down the path and stop at a door. He opens the door and shows me in. The place has a staircase leading down. I look back at him. He walks passed me and down the stairs. I grip onto the railing and follow behind him.
Once we reached the bottom, we walked down another hallway and then stopped at a door. He pushes open the door. The smell of something chemical-like comes from it. My eyes widen when I see a bunch of pods. I stare at them in disgust.
"What are these..." I softly ask. All for One walks past me and places his hand on one of the pods.
"They are called Nomu... something I had asked the doctor to work on." He answers. I stare at the pods. The creatures inside them look disgusting. I make a disgusted face and slowly walk around in the room, examining each one of them.
"Violet... have you ever figured out what your quirk is?" All for One asks. I stop walking, my hand touching the glass of one of the pods.
"No... I haven't been able to figure out what I can do..." I softly say. All for One stands quietly. I slowly drift my eyes towards him, my white hair whipping a bit as I do. I glare at him, feeling uneasy as I am in a closed-off room with him, filled with disgusting creatures.
"When you were younger, you would continuously consume any sort of aura or energy from another quirk user. When you did that, your own energy grew."
"Are you saying you know what my quirk is?" I interrupt. My voice is low and raspy.
"In a way."
I stare at him, feeling a bit annoyed. Though I am not surprised, he knows what my quirk is.
"When you were younger, I wanted to take the quirk away from you... I was afraid that you would be in danger because of it."
"I doubt that's the reason why you were going to steal it." I huff. All for One doesn't reply right away. Instead, he walks closer to me. I don't move, still glaring at him.
"You didn't understand your own quirk and often became dangerous to be around. Your emotions greatly affected your quirk. Thus, the reason why I wanted to take it away... to give you an easy life." He replies. I stare at him a bit before slowly turning my head and staring back at the Nomu in the pod.
"I couldn't take your quirk though."
"Why not?" I listlessly ask.
"From what I said earlier, your quirk consumes the energy or aura from another quirk user. When consuming this energy, you grow strong... but too much consumption and you will implode. From the amount of quirks I hold in my body... if I took your quirk, it would do the same thing."
"Basically, you're saying you would implode and die..." I softly reply.
"In a way." He answers. I stare at the Nomu still. I don't know what he's making with these things or what his plan is, but knowing it's All for One... it's never good.
"You can be very strong, Violet..." He says, placing his hand on my shoulder. "A quirk like yours can do a lot... but what I told you is just an assumption... there might be more you can do."
I stand still, not really responding to his words. I let go of the pods and slowly turn around to look at him.
"Why did you bring me down here?" I calmly ask. All for One squeezes my shoulder a bit, causing me to turn and look at him.
"I have thought about what I wanted to do with you for a while..." He calmly says. He lets go of my shoulder and slowly turns, walking out of the room. I follow behind him, feeling confused about what he's talking about.
"You and Shigaraki are my two most important ideals... my children... my successors..." He grabs onto the handle of a door in the hallway. I stand behind him, my eyes glued to the back of his head. "And... the new symbol of terror." He says. I stare at him, still feeling confused, not knowing what to say. He opens the door and leads me inside. There are screens and computers in the room. A whole bunch of technology at that. I look around at the stuff around me. Wires and cables are everywhere.
"There is this one kid... I am using him to gather information on things... but I don't know if I can rely on him."
"Huh?" I slowly turn my head towards All for One, who is standing in front of a screen. I stop behind him, staring at it. "What do you mean?" I question.
"He's going to take the test to enroll in U.A... I take it that you already did the written test... correct?" All for One asks. I slowly nod. "I want you to take the physical test too."
"Wait- you want me to attend U.A.?"
"I want you to get close enough to All Might..." He calmly answers. I stare at the back of his head, feeling a bit overwhelmed by his statement. He wants me to attend U.A. to not only spy on All Might but to help him and Tomura out.
"I don't know."
"I know you care about Shigaraki... and I doubt you want to see him fail or dead. Shigaraki has a temper, and you know that all too well yourself." All for One slowly turns his body towards me, causing me to look up at him. "I'm not telling you to do this for me... but I want you to be by Shigaraki's side." He calmly says. I stare at him, not believing a word coming from his mouth.
My mind swirls with a mixture of anger and sadness. A part of me wants to protect Tomura, but another part of me wants to kill All for One.
"Fine." I say, drooping my head down a bit.
"Good girl, I know the choice was hard on you... but I can see you becoming a great hero one day." He says as he pats my head. I clench my fists and walk away.
I lay on a couch, staring up at the ceiling. "A student who is enrolling into U.A to act as a mole..." I whisper to myself. I tilt my head to the side, staring at Kurogiri, who is cleaning something behind the bar.
"Kurogiri... do you know the name of this kid?" I ask.
"I don't understand what you are asking." He replies. I pout a bit and sigh, feeling a bit dissatisfied. All for One mentioned this kid, but didn't tell me who he was. Was there a reason why?
"Here... you have mail." Shigaraki says, tossing a letter at me. It hits me in the face and then falls to the floor beside me. I glare at him, and then my eyes slowly move towards the letter on the ground. I pick it up and examine it. It's a letter from U.A.
"Tomura... have you heard about the kid that All for One is using as a mole?" I ask.
Shigaraki looks at me with an annoyed look on his face. I slowly look at him, waiting for an answer.
"No."
"... I don't exactly believe you." I grumble.
Bzzzt...
"Violet." A voice says from the TV. From the sound of the voice, it must be All for One.
"Yes?" I say as I slowly sit up.
"I sent you some coordinates on your phone. I want you to make your way there. There is someone I'd like for you to meet." He says. I narrow my eyes, feeling extremely weirded out by the idea of All for One inviting me out to some random place. I sigh and stand up. I pull my phone from my pocket and turn it on. The message came from an unknown number. My eyes slowly examine the coordinates he sent me.
"Only you, alone, no one else... Is that clear?"
"Yes."
The TV turns off. I slowly look at Shigaraki, who isn't paying any attention to me. I grab my jacket and put it on, then I make my way to the door of the bar.
"Violet." Shigaraki says in a low tone. I slowly look back at him, a dull look in my eyes. "Remember... you work for me, understood?" His voice sounds stern. I relax my eyes and grab the door handle.
"Yeah... sure." I pull open the door and head out in the direction of the coordinates.
TO BE CONTINUED OCTOBER 16TH!
