Chapter Eighteen: Regret and Redemptive

Why would you say that!" Mina said as she was talking with Momo and a few other girls "look,i didn't know how to say it,and in hindsight i probably should have let it go,but yelling at me won't do anything" Momo said as she fell back on her bed "look,Tokiwa is one of the most handsome boys you'll find in the class *ribbit* maybe Max or Todoroki beat him in that regard but still,you should really rethink your decision,because if someone else takes him and you suddenly come to a decision,it'll be too late" A girl with long dark green hair said as Momo put a pillow over he face "Tsuyu,maybe you're right,but i'll seriously need to think everything over'' Momo said as Kate walked in the room "mind if i join?" Kate asked as Momo let her in "thanks,I'm just here to drop off a nugget of info. If and when you come to a decision.you should probably explain everything in more depth and in a less insultive way,cause you kinda broke him,like he's currently crying and eating ice cream sad so uh" Kate said as Momo felt even worse "that's kind of adorable" Momo thought as the girls thought the same thing "i'll go talk to him" Mina said as Momo put a thumbs up. We cut to Tokiwa as he's fast asleep on the couch next to Max and Izuku "he's going to need a lot of sleep,he ate around 3 buckets of ice cream" Izuku said as Max caired Tokiwa to his room "i never took him as the crybaby type,but the more you know. In any case I'm more worried about how this will affect his fighting abilities," Max thought as Mina tapped him on the shoulder "shh,don't wake him up,i have some stuff to tell you" Mina said as she whispered something in Max's ear "so she does like him?" Max whispered as Mina sighed "yes,Momo can be confusing at times,she isn't good when it comes to talking about feelings,she's more calculated and logical" Mina said as Max thought of Tokiwa "just like Toki" Max whispered as he put Tokiwa on his bed "i think its best if they talk,just so we don't get lost in translation" Max said as he went to the shadow world

Max appeared in a black room with no windows and just furniture everywhere to make it an entire house in a box. "All for One is really underestimating me. Sure there are a few who can beat me but not as easy as you may think" Max said as he went to a workbench with a bunch of black vials. "I'm so close to an awakening. I just need another awakening to happen. Hm, since All for One sent Ripper against Tokiwa to force him to awaken I will just watch for the time being. As soon as he awakens I will take a small blood sample and then it will be complete. I will awaken and Kate will too, `` Max said. "You should know by now why I am feared, All for One. I don't have to come out of the shadows to do anything" Max said. We cut to the siblings as they are practicing. "Okay. Hold on. Are you okay Jamie?" Candice asked. "Yeah. I'm fine. I'm still messed up from mom," Jamie said. "Yeah. Well hey! Look on the bright side. We got each other now. We can work together," Fourze said as Candice and Jamie smiled. "Yeah. You're right. We got each other. But it aint the same without mom and dad," Jamie said. "Yeah. But it'll be okay," Candice said. "Wait. Wait. Now that I think about it, what memory did you have with dad?" Fourze asked. "He was kind and funny," Candice said. "And he looks exactly like you," Jamie said. "Oh. That's why everyone said I look like him," Fourze thought to himself. "Oh. Well, I'll be right back. I'ma practice on my tail beam," Fourze said as he went to practice. "Tail beam. Don't fail on me now," Fourze thought to himself as his tail beam went to place. "Yes. YES!! FINALLY!! LETS GO!!" Fourze said. "Alright,Fourze, I'm going to stop holding back,you're going to learn something that your teacher tells me you've been struggling with" Jamie said as Fourze's heart dropped. "You wouldn't," Fourze said as Jamie released a wave of atomic energy that pushed Foruze back. Jamie then flew in the air as his hands glowed a bright yellow-orange "this is a super atomic blast,as a non super atomic blast user you;ll have no choice but to dodge it." Jamie said as he charged up a blast "Jamie you really don't have to do this!" Fourze said as Jamie fired it "Atomic Masenko!" Jamie said as Fourze tried to beam clash him with his own beam "Jamie he isn't  ready for all of that,hold back!" Candice said as Jamie couldn't hear her. "crap,he's a lot stronger than me,and my throat is burning up,but if i stop then his Atomic Masenko will hit me directly,what should i do?!" Fourze thought as Jamie noticed his beam pushing Fourze's back. "Come on,give me everything you have" Jamie said as he used one hand to lessen the pressure and power of the beam. "I need to use everything I have!" Fourze thought as his eyes glowed blue along with the spines along his back  \and his tail. "RAAAAH!" Fourze yelled as his beam grew immensely in power and size. "woah!" Jamie said as Fourze's beam completely pushed his back and sent it flying away "that's more like it " Jamie said grinning from ear to ear. "For a second there I thought you'd be seriously hurt,but look at you,all glowing and radioactive" Jamie said as Fourze used so much power that his mind went berserk. "Hmm,never seen this before,maybe it came out due to the desperation he felt,or maybe it's an emotional response,in any case it just means more training" Jamie said as he was hit in the chest by an atomic beam by Fourze. "oof,yeah,definitely can't have this" Jamie said as he dashed in front of Fourze and hit him over the head with an atomic fist. "Aye! Chill man," Jamie said. "My bad. I get a little carried away when it comes to my quirk," Fourze said. "It's fine,maybe we should call it a day,we're all tired" Jamie said as Candice scolded the two of them "next time when i tell you to hold back,you listen." Candice said as she pulled Jamie's ear "ahh!" Jamie said as Candice walked while holding Jamie's ear over to Fourze "and next time when you use your full power,keep yourself in control" Candice said as she pulled Fourze's ear too. "Oww!" Fourze said as they all went home. "*knock* *knock* *knock* Hey Toki,can I come in?" Momo said as Tokiwa sluggishly walked out of bed and cracked the door open "oh… sure" Tokiwa said as he closed the door and cleaned up a bit. "Alright,come in" Tokiwa said as Momo walked into his room "this room was a lot more upbeat and bright last time i was in here" Momo thought as Tokiwa sat on the bed "so…anything you'd like to talk about?" Tokwia said as Momo gulped in nervousness "yeah actually,i'd like to talk about us,if your comfortable with it of course but,i feel as if we ended our conversation on the wrong foot" Momo said as Tokiwa sat up and fixed his posture "what about us in specific,from the last thing you told me i was,and i quote "dangerous" and you talked about me as if i was some wild animal that could snap at any moment. I don't have any ill will towards you but what you said and how you said it really did hurt me." Tokiwa said as Momo took a deep breath "i apologize,i'm sorry that i said those things and i'm sorry for playing with your heart strings,if i'm being honest with you,i really do like you,i do,but all these loose ends and questions that keep popping up in my head make me think and feel otherwise" Momo said as Tokiwa exhaled "then let's have them answered one by one then" Tokwia said as Momo was shocked by his straight forwardness. "Okay,first question,how and why did you kill those five men,you did it without any trace of hesitation either" Momo said as Tokiwa with a blank expression answered the question "if you want me to be 100% honest with you,i killed them because anyone with half a brain could tell what they were about to do to you,and if you think for a second that i was going to sit back and watch it happen then you're sorely mistaken. As for the effort and hesitation,i was raised that way" Tokiwa said as Momo thought about everything "true,they were going to try and assault me, and he did save me,and held off everyone else for long enough for Almight to get there,so i really shouldn't be worried" Momo thought as Tokiwa furthered on "plus it was in a life or death situation,it was either i leave you there or i try and face the boss and possibly lose and then you'd still be,so i'm sorry that you had to see or even experience that but i had no other option" Tokiwa said as Momo started. "Well,um"  Momo said as Tokiwa started to get a bit agitated. "Look,if you really mean what you said then here is the options i'll give you. Either see the situation for what is was,or you leave me be,because right now i'm not in the best state to be messed with'' Tokiwa said as he  turned around and layed down "i'm done wasting time on this,i just want to be alone right now,just let me know when you come to your decision" Tokiwa said as his eyes began to tear up "alright,then i'll let you be" Momo said as she left a note on the side of his bed " alright then,bye" Momo said as she walked out of the room  "she's just toying with your heart,she doesn't really care,just another person who will use and abuse you. Just like those scummy heroes," A voice in Tokiwa's head said as Tokwia curled into a ball "my head feels fuzzy" Tokiwa said as  he rolled over and read the note. A slight smile came across his face as he wiped his tears and calmed down. "I guess she's an exception," Tokiwa said as he held the note and went to bed. "Alright,you two are now secretly,officially dating,that will be a slice of cake please" Kate said as she came out of Momo's shadow "here" Momo said as she handed her a slice of strawberry cake  "thank you,and by the morning,he should be a lot happier" Kate said as We pan over to Max as he got back from a contract with a huge case behind him as he went into his home. "How was the job?" Kate said as she walked out of the kitchen in her underwear and an apron. "Did the job and then killed the contractor. The contractor had a hit on him for a million yen. I also got this" Max said as opened the case and it was full of a weird silver material. "Is this just silver?" Kate asked as she was hugging Max behind his back. Max was extremely thankful that he was in his robotic form. He took off his assassin suit and turned human and put on simple clothes. "I don't know, I interrogated him and he said this was unusable material. They could not craft weapons with it nor could they even melt it" Max said as he tried to grab a piece but as his hand touched it shadow energy and shadow lightning surged to it. "Maybe it is because they didn't know how to," Max said as he went into the shadow world. "Oh come on. I got dressed like this and even cooked him his favorite food and he didn't stay. I swear he is like a robot all the time in that form" Kate said as she went back into the kitchen.
