Chapter 67: Chapter 65: Affected League.
A brick wall suddenly broke down revealing a mechanical figure.
Mechamaru looked at the abandoned run-down apartment in front of him.
It was one of his many hideouts.
Taking out a satellite phone, Mechamaru sent a message with an image, then waited calmly.
It didn't take long.
Before a familiar dark shadow appeared before him.
It was Kurogiri.
A pair of yellow eyes appeared in the shadow.
Looking at the perfectly fine Mechamaru, the shadow shook violently.
"I didn't expect it...no one expected it...for you to still be alive...."
His voice rang, filled with balant excitement.
Mechamaru looked at him in silence.
"Everyone is waiting...let's go quickly!"
Kurogiri hurriedly spread his shadow and enveloped Mechamaru.
And in the next moment they they arrived at their destination.
Mechamaru didn't even have time to look at the new place before a figure suddenly rushed straight at him.
Looking down at the familiar yellow hair before him, Mechamaru looked down at Toga who was tightly hugging him.
At the same time, Toga also looked up.
Their gaze collided, he could clearly see the heavy dark circles under her eyes, along with the tears that kept flowing out.
"Mecha-chan!"
Crying loudly, she buried her head in his metallic chest, not caring about anything else.
"You're back! You're really really back!"
Toga kept crying like a lost child, letting her emotions flow out like an opened dam.
Mechamaru's green eyes stared at her, but just before he could say anything another figure rushed at him.
"Mechamaru! Mechamaru it's really you!!""
Twice hugged his back and shouted in a loud voice with tears continuously flowing out of his eyes.
Mechamaru wanted to pull him off but then another figure rushed at him.
"It's really you! Yes! how could those fakes possibly beat you!", Spinner roared and excitedly hugged his right side.
Mr. Compass and Magne looked at each other, feeling left out, so they also joined in.
Mr. Compass was still okay, but as soon as Magne joined, it suddenly became very congested.
"Magne you're ruining the mood! Go away!", Spinner shouted in a loud voice.
Magne simply used her quirk and he flew away with an unwilling roar.
"Mecha-chan!"
"Mechamaru!"
"Greatest Villain!"
"Second in command!"
They all kept shouting Toga and Twice were crying while Mr. Compass and Magne simply shouted for fun.
Mechamaru stood still, not understanding how to react, seeing their joyful faces, he forgot about the plan to kill and silence them.
Suddenly a familiar figure appeared in Mechamaru's vision.
It was Dabi, he was currently leaning against the wall, with a small smile on his face.
Instantly their gazes collided making Dabi smile widely.
"How about you take her too? She's been waiting for quite some time now.", Dabi said pointing at Eri who was standing on the side, hesitantly looking at Mechamaru with tears in her eyes.
"Eri chan! I'm sorry! I totally forgot about you!"
Toga said in a hurried voice and rushed towards Eri to pick her up.
But Eri silently dodged her outstretched arms and rushed straight towards Mechamaru leaving behind the stunned Toga.
"Now now be careful young lady.", Mr. Compass commented seeing her hurried steps.
Eri rushed towards Mechamaru and hugged his leg, drops of tears flowing out of her beautiful red eyes.
"M...Mechamaru...."
She sobbed in a light tone, calling out his name with her blurry eyes.
Mechamaru looked won at her, then lightly patted her head and picked her up.
As soon as he did, Eri instantly wrapped her small arms around his neck and started sobbing.
Mechamaru patted her back and suddenly looked at the smiling Dabi.
"You want a hug as well."
Dabi quickly raised his hands in surrender and took a step back to show his stance.
Mechamaru didn't pursue it, he was just teasing Dabi.
Looking around and not seeing his blue-headed best friend, Mechamaru asked.
"Where is Shigaraki?"
For a moment the place suddenly fell silent.
Until Dabi opened his mouth and said.
"After he saw you melt under that crazy move, Shigaraki went crazy, he almost rushed back to kill all the heroes but All For One stopped him at the last moment---"
"Hahaha Shigaraki was indeed very hurt by your loss."
A sudden creepy voice blocked Dabi's words, attracting everyone's attention.
Mechamaru turned his face.
From a dark corner, the ex-strongest villain of Mha, All For One walked out, carrying his life support machine with him.
"It's good to have you back, Mechamaru."
All For One said, looking intently at him.
"How are you feeling? I heard you melted under your own attack--"
"Where is Shigaraki?"
Mechamaru interrupted him, not interested in his word game.
"Hm yes, it seems you two are good friends indeed....."
He continued in a satisfied voice.
"But you need not worry, Shigaraki has simply started the process of inheriting All For One."
A light passed through Mechamaru's green eyes.
"He was too devastated by your loss, and wanted nothing but to turn the world to dust."
All For One raised his hands, pointing at their new hideout.
"He even went beyond my expectations and managed to evolve his quirk to its perfect state, decaying our entire old base in his wake."
Twice trembled remembering the scene of Shigaraki losing control and destroying everything passed through his mind, fortunately, All For One was there to help control him otherwise they all would have died under his mad onslaught.
"And that's not all! Under his overflowing rage, he actually started assimilating with All For One faster!"
"It was originally supposed to take four months but now..."
A burst of creepy laughter started flowing out of his mouth.
"Two months!"
"In just two months Shigaraki will awaken! And with both of your strengths combined the world will crumble giving birth to a new era!"
Mechamaru's green orb-like eyes kept staring at him.
"So where is Shigaraki?"
All For One grinned and shrugged his shoulders.
"You will see him after a month."
The meaning of his words was clear.
He didn't trust them, with such key information.
Looking at the grinning All For One, Mechamaru thought seriously.
'Should I kill him?'
However, that could end up inversely affecting Shigaraki's transformation process.
Mechamaru didn't forget his goal to copy transformed Shigaraki's physical body, gaining almost complete physical immunity along with longevity.
But he really felt like killing this old piece of fossil.
And since he watched the original series, he also knew the location of the hospital Shigaraki was undergoing transformation in.
Jaku General Hospital.
As its name suggests it was in Jaku city.
"Now now Mechamaru let's not do something drastic yes? We're all friends after all."
As if having sensed his faint killing intent, All For One hurriedly said in a calming tone.
He was actually sweating a little.
Mechamaru looked at him and felt his condition, he was still suffering from the side-effects, and it wouldn't be good to have a fight now.
Looking at the silent Mechamaru, All For One was actually starting to feel a little nervous.
But thinking for a moment Mechamaru still turned his head away.
All For One smiled widely and walked up to him.
"While Shigaraki is transforming, how about you help me gather some of my old comrades? Of course, this isn't for my sake but to better fulfill Shigaraki's wishes."

----
After All For One left, Mechamaru turned to look at Dabi who kept giving him a weird smile.
"Anything you want to say?"
"Finally! I thought you'd never ask!"
Dabi smiled wildly and motioned towards Mechamaru.
"Follow me quickly Mechamaru, I have something to show you."
Mechamaru followed behind the excited Dabi under the other league member's helpless eyes.
"He's at it again."
"Yeah, he's indeed a little crazy up there."
Under Dabi's lead, they arrived in front of a metal door.
Dabi pressed some buttons, making the door creek open, and revealing the inside.
And what appeared in Mechamaru's vision.
Was an injured and chained-up hero he was all too familiar with.
Rank 2 pro Hero, Endeavour.
It's just that the current him was completely unlike his previous arrogant self, looking lifeless, his eyes devoid of the will to live.
"See! Did you see Mechamaru!"
Dabi cried out and looked straight at him.
"Other members doubted me you know, when I told them I would take down Endeavour on my own, they all asked me, Will you loose? and I replied without hesitation!"
Dabi suddenly made a familiar pose.
"Nah I'd win!"
Mechamaru almost lost his footing, he just remembered it was the same pose he showed when he was going to attack All Might the first time.
Endeavour raised his head, seeing Dabi's face, filled his heart with sorrow.
