Fragmented Memories

Everyone was astonished by his words.

Twice tried to clarify, "What does that mean? Explain... or better yet, don't..."

Magne, speechless.

Spinner, talking to himself, said, "What the hell is going on here? I don't understand anything..." He seemed incredulous and frustrated, trying to make sense of what had just happened.

Kurogiri remained silent, his figure enveloped in the dark mist that characterized his presence.

Toga asked with intrigue, "Didn't Lett erase his memories?"

Shigaraki, frustrated, said, "Dabi, it seems like it didn't work..." he sighed heavily.

Dabi, analyzing the situation, said, "It looks like Lett removed his memories but couldn't add new ones..." His words revealed a mix of frustration and disappointment at their current situation.

Meanwhile, All For One said nothing and watched everything through a monitor, intrigued by the developments.

Bakugou, trying to understand, asked, "Hey, Half-and-Half, are you okay?"

Shoto remained silent for a moment before responding indifferently, "Yes, I'm fine. I'll ask again. Who are they?" He then turned his gaze towards the villains, showing a mix of curiosity.

Bakugou frowned, puzzled by Shoto's response. "What are you saying, Half-and-Half? How can you not remember me?" he said, trying to process whether he had forgotten everything.

At that moment, All For One broke the silence from the screen, his voice resonating with a mix of curiosity and suspicion: "Interesting... it seems Lett's effects have been deeper than expected."

The situation grew tense when Shigaraki exclaimed, "Master..."

All For One, intrigued, intervened, "Tomura, bring that young man to me. I want to see him in person."

Shigaraki hesitated but nodded, accepting All For One's command.

But Bakugou, defiantly, taunted, "Master, it seems you're not the one giving orders here, huh?"

The others in the room held their breath, aware of the growing tension between the two. Shigaraki clenched his teeth and balled his fist, containing his anger as he stared fiercely at Bakugou.

Shigaraki, irritated, approached Bakugou with his hand open.

Bakugou, maintaining his defiant attitude, continued to provoke Shigaraki, "What's wrong, Shigaraki? Does it bother you that the master is ordering you around?"

Shoto, now calling himself just Shoto, observed the scene with a confused and indifferent look. His expression was suspicious, as if he were evaluating every move and word around him.

"What's going on?" Shoto asked calmly but slightly perplexed, breaking the tense silence filling the room.

The members of the League of Villains glanced at each other, feeling the pressure to explain the situation to the young man who now seemed to have lost his memory.

Shigaraki, with a brisk gesture, approached Shoto and observed him closely. "It seems you've lost your memories, Todoroki. Something went wrong with the process."

"Todoroki... that name sounds familiar, but I can't remember who I really am. What process?" Shoto said, furrowing his brow slightly and trying unsuccessfully to remember.

Dabi intervened, with a serious look on his burned face. "It's better not to know, kid..."

"I'm sorry, but I need answers," insisted Shoto, noticing the discomfort in the air. His lost memories were an enigma that now needed to be resolved.

Shigaraki glanced briefly at Dabi before responding cautiously, "You were one of us, Todoroki. You were with the League of Villains, but something went wrong in the... transformation process."

Shoto frowned, trying to connect the invisible dots in his mind. "Transformation... what transformation?"

Dabi ran a hand through his singed hair before speaking. "I'm sorry, Todoroki. I can't explain more than that. It's not safe for you to remember."

The members of the League of Villains exchanged uncertain glances. Finally, Shigaraki sighed and moved closer to Shoto. "You were our ally, Todoroki. But something went wrong. Now we're trying to... fix it."

The young hero felt that there was much more behind those words, something dark and complicated awaiting him in the shadows of his own lost memory, but he couldn't decipher what it was.

Bakugou burst into the conversation with his typical explosiveness, interrupting the tense exchange between Shoto and the League of Villains.

"Don't believe them, Todoroki! They're trying to manipulate you," Bakugou shouted furiously, his eyes flashing as he strode purposefully towards Shoto.

Shigaraki frowned at the interruption, while the other members of the League of Villains watched Bakugou cautiously. Dabi, with his characteristic coolness, was the first to respond. "Bakugou, this doesn't concern you. Let us handle this."

Bakugou stopped in front of Shoto, looking at him intensely. "You may not remember who you are, but I assure you that you're not one of them. You're a hero, they're villains, and you shouldn't let these guys fool you."

Shoto looked back and forth, feeling the increasing tension between his companion and the villains in front of him. "How do I know who to trust? I don't remember anything..."

The air was thick with tension; every word and glance seemed to carry the weight of a truth yet to be discovered. Shoto found himself caught in an overwhelming dilemma: on one side, the members of the League of Villains claimed he was one of theirs, while Bakugou tried to show him otherwise.

Shigaraki, with his characteristic disdain, broke the silence. "Bakugou, you've always been impulsive. You don't understand the circumstances here."

Bakugou gritted his teeth, his expression tense and defiant. "I don't need to understand them. I just know that I'm not going to let them play with one of our own."

Dabi intervened calmly, though his intense gaze showed his underlying concern.

"Bakugou, I understand your concern, but Todoroki's situation is complicated. Not everything is as it seems."

Shoto felt overwhelmed by conflicting emotions and the confusion filling his empty mind. "How can I know who I really am?" he asked quietly, unable to grasp the situation fully. "I'm just called Shoto ..."

Bakugou moved even closer to Shoto, his voice now softer but equally firm. "I was with you. You're a powerful hero, with a strong will. I know you better than these villains."

Shigaraki crossed his arms, assessing the situation with a cold stare. "And what do you plan to do, Bakugou? Take him back with you and tell them he lost his memory?"

Bakugou didn't back down. "If that means getting him away from you, then yes."

While Shigaraki and Bakugou argued, Toga slipped stealthily towards Shoto, her unsettling smile revealing her curiosity. She stopped in front of him with a playful yet cautious attitude, watching him with eyes bright with intrigue.

"Are you sure you don't remember something?" asked Toga with an unsettling smile. Are you... all right?

Shoto shook his head. "I don't remember anything, my mind is blank," he admitted, his voice calm but filled with uncertainty. "I'm not sure how I should feel. By the way, who are you?"

"Hi, I'm Toga. Want to be my friend?" she said as she gave him a sadistic smile.

Shoto, still feeling confused and lost by the sudden question, decided to accept Toga's proposal. Although he didn't remember who he really was or fully understand what was happening around him, Toga's presence seemed to offer him some reassurance.

"Yes, sure," Shoto finally responded, his voice calm but with a slight smile. "I'll be your friend, Toga."

Toga responded with a broad smile, full of excitement, as if she had achieved a small personal victory. "Great!" she exclaimed, her eyes shining with genuine joy. "We're going to have so much fun together, you'll see."

Shoto looked at her for a few seconds and then nodded. "So, are these your friends?"

Toga nodded enthusiastically, her eyes shining with excitement as she responded. "Yes! They're amazing, though they can be a bit complicated at times," she said with a playful laugh. "But I'm sure you'll get along with them. You'll see!"

Shoto looked at the members of the League of Villains and Bakugou, who were still engaged in their heated discussion in the background. Although he didn't fully understand who they were and what role they had played in his life before he lost his memory, he decided to trust Toga for now.

"I'm willing to give it a try," Shoto said sincerely, finding a small glimmer of hope in the idea of finding his place among these new companions, strange as they seemed.

Toga smiled broadly, her expression shifting from playful excitement to surprisingly tender. "Then, let's officially introduce you! Come on, let's join them!"

Shoto followed Toga to the gathering with the other members of the League of Villains. Upon arrival, Toga called out to everyone with enthusiasm.

"Guys, come here!" Toga exclaimed, her energy vibrant. "This is Magne, Twice, Spinner, and he's Dabi," she said, pointing to each of them as she named them.

Shoto observed them with curiosity, trying to catch any glimpse of recognition in their faces. However, all he received in return were varied looks ranging from suspicion to caution.

He decided to stay calm and break the tension with a friendly gesture. With a slight smile, Shoto approached the gathered group.

"Hello everyone," he said calmly but warmly, aiming to set a tone of neutrality and openness. "I'm Shoto. It seems I've already been introduced, but it's a pleasure to meet all of you."

Everyone in the room was shocked, except for Toga. The villains looked at each other, creating a thick silence.

Magne broke the silence, leaning forward with interest. "You really don't remember anything? It's like you've woken up in an entirely new world."

Spinner added with a mix of frustration and concern, "This is insane. How can we trust him now?"

Twice, always uncertain, muttered to himself, "But... what if he's pretending to have lost his memory?"

Dabi, with his usual serious demeanor, looked at Shoto carefully. "We need to figure out what else you've forgotten. There's a lot at stake here."

Just then, there was a sudden boom that silenced the room, as everyone turned towards Bakugou, surprised by his outburst.

Bakugou exploded the air with a burst of blasts from his hands. He had been watching with a mix of disbelief and concern, but couldn't hold back any longer. "This is madness! They will pay for what they've done!"

Shigaraki frowned, unsettled by the tense situation. "Calm down, Bakugou! It won't help anyone if you lose contr—." He attempted to speak again but was interrupted by a sound.

At that moment, a voice echoed from outside, interrupting the atmosphere with an unexpectedly familiar tone:

"Knock, knock. The pizza's here."

Boom!

Everyone turned in surprise to the entrance, where the wall had collapsed, revealing a muscular figure.

"All Might..." murmured Bakugou, recognizing the legendary hero.

All Might, with his commanding presence, broke the tension with a confident smile. "Everything is under control. You know why? Because I am here!"

The present heroes took the opportunity to act. Kamui Woods quickly extended his branches to trap and neutralize the villains, while Gran Torino moved swiftly towards Dabi with surprising speed, knocking him down with a quick strike.

"Dabi, it's better if you stay put," Gran Torino warned firmly, maintaining his position over him.

Kamui Woods secured the other villains with his powerful branches, leaving them trapped and unable to move. The situation became more controlled under the direction and power of the veteran heroes.

However, attention quickly returned to Shoto, whose calm demeanor contrasted with the chaos around him. In a sudden and surprising move, Shoto approached Toga, who was caught by Kamui Woods' branches, and with a quick gesture, froze and shattered the branches holding her.

Everyone was stunned by Shoto's display of power and control. He turned towards the heroes with a defiant look.

"I don't know who you are, but you can't just destroy a bar like this," he stated coolly, his voice resonating with calmness and seriousness regarding the intrusion of the heroes into the bar.

The remaining heroes and villains fell silent, processing the unexpected turn of events and evaluating how they would proceed in the face of Shoto's defiant and powerful presence.
