(Picture is All for One according to comics.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All for One smiled a little and prepared for their arrival, after awhile he watched the car pulled up. He waited for them to enter the building and he smiled. "Hello and who is this?" he asked.

The young woman with blue hair smiled nervously. "Hello, My name is Sachi." She introduced herself.

"Hello Miss Sachi." he said and held a hand out to her. "What can I do for you?"

She shook his hand, and glanced over at Herrick. "I... I don't know."

"Tell me what's bothering you." The leader said gently. She looked at him for a moment, before she started talking to him, telling him everything. He sat with her in his office and listened to her story, though he already knew a lot of it. Herrick stood quietly next to the wall, not daring to speak yet. She took in a shaky breathe, finished with her explanation.

The leader listened and handed her a tissue to dry her eyes and blow her nose. "Let it out my dear." he said gently. She started crying, her shoulders shaking as it came crashing down on her. He sat by her and put a comforting arm around her then had one of his men get tea for her. Herrick took the tea from the other man when he came back in, and brought it over. Sachi took it shakily, and smiled up at her friend.

"I'm sorry to hear about what's happened to you recently... it's not fair and no one should go through what you have." the leader said with sympathy. She nodded and sipped her tea as she tried to calm down. "But... as you know, Herrick and I will help you." he informed her.

She nodded. "Thank you."

"Now... what do you need?" he asked with a gentle tone like honey.

She looked at him. "...someone to stay."

He smiled a little and gently gripped her shoulder. "Don't worry... for I am here." he promised, using the new hero's line.

She smiled and hugged him. "Thank you." she whispered feeling as though someone would finally care about her and not lie to her.

He hugged her and smiled a little. "Do you need a place to stay?" he asked and she nodded a little. He smiled in turn and had Herrick show her where to go to find her new room.

Render gripped her bleeding arm as she ran down the hallway, leaving bloody footprints in her wake. "Sachi!" she screamed as she winced. Her head was bleeding as well and her wings were broken. "Sachi!" she screamed and got to her room. She gasped in surprise as she saw it emptied and cleaned. A nurse told her she had checked out. The woman shook her head as she gripped her limp bleeding arm. 

"No..." she whispered and shook her head before she fainted on the floor. She had tried to be there for her friend, but failed again. Though it wasn't her fault this time.

The next day Sachi's gifts and decorations came from the hospital and she decorated her room, giving it a comfortable feeling. She found out that her home had been burned to the ground and she had nothing left. She arranged the lights, and balloons, putting the flowers on the window sill. All for One had people get what she needed and they made her as comfortable as possible, he allowed Herrick to visit her on occasion.

Sometimes Sachi's mind would wander to Toshi, but, she tried not to think about him too much, it hurt her. The necklace didn't help and she was tempted to contact Render, but her phone had been destroyed. They did that to help her forget those that hurt her. Yet she hid the necklace, she just couldn't let it go.

Someone came to get Herrick after a while and told him All for One wanted to speak with him. The young man nodded and followed the messenger as he furrowed his brow. The person led him to the office All for One was in and the said man was standing at the desk staring at something. He looked up and stood straighter. "Ah, Herrick. Sit down." he said motioning to a chair. Herrick nodded as he did so and watched his leader.

"Something has come to my attention." he said and picked something up then walked over and set it on the desk by him. It was a picture of Toshi leaving school for the final time. "Care to explain?" he asked calmly. Unnervingly calm.

His eyes widened, and he swallowed nervously then hung his head. "I-I'm sorry Master. I-I couldn't do it. Please, forgive me. I-I won't fail you again."

"You're right, you wont." he stated and walked over to him. "I don't tolerate failure in my ranks." he muttered as his hand glowed. 

Herrick's eyes widened and he shook his head. "N-No, please!"

"And to think I was starting to like you." The leader growled as he stood by him. "I won't kill you, but you can't go unpunished." he muttered and gripped the young man's face. Herrick closed his eyes tightly, gripping his chair, unsure of what was coming next. 

He suddenly felt pain and it felt as though he was being ripped apart as the man took his quirk. Herrick clenched his teeth, wanting to scream, but he refused to show weakness. All for One kept his expression blank as he watched him. Keeping his hand there as he took his quirk.

The young man's breath grew ragged, and shallow. "Please..." He whimpered.

"Please what?" the man asked darkly and looked at him.

"Please, give me another chance... I-I can do better." the dark haired boy promised.

"I know you can do better." The villain whispered darkly and pulled his hand away as he finished taking his quirk. "That's why I didn't kill you." he said seriously and looked at him.

The now shaking teen looked at the floor. "...Thank you." he said quietly. He felt so empty, and hollow inside. It was frightening.

"If you can prove yourself, I'll give it back. If you mess up again... I'll kill you." he said seriously as he went back to his desk.

Herrick nodded. "Yes Master."

"Now get out of my office." he said as he looked at him. Herrick nodded, and left his office. He went to the kitchen, and grabbed a cup of water, his hands shook, he tried using his quirk. He wanted to know for sure. Nothing happened and the water just sat there as if it was mocking him. He had to prove himself to get it back. He clenched his fists, kicking the cupboard angrily. He'd sacrificed everything for Toshi.

Because of it, his quirk was gone. What had he done for him in turn? Nothing. He promised to save him but never did. He growled angrily, and threw the glass against the wall, shattering it. He would not fail again.

One of the other villains was leaning against the door frame. "Someone's mad." he smirked.

Herrick glared at him. "So?"

"Ah did the baby lose his quirk?" The new comer mocked and pouted.

"It's none of your business." He snapped.

"I can tell you did." he smirked as he folded his arms. "The pain in your eyes is still there. Sucks to be you." he sneered. Herrick glared at him, and left the room. His anger towards everything growing. "Guess you'll think twice about helping your lowlife friends!" he shouted after him.

He clenched his fists tightly, and looked back at the man. "You're right, from now on, you're on your own." He continued down the hall.

"I was never your friend." he smirked as he watched him then went to go find the new girl and make her mad as well.

Herrick rolled his eyes. "Whatever," He muttered to himself. No one had friends here and if they did they were simple used to move up in the ranks. The other man soon  wandered around before he knocked on Sachi's door.

She peeked out from behind the door. "Hello?"

"Hey. Why are you still hiding in there? Besides the mutated looking people." he said and shrugged as he fixed his gloves.

She shrugged. "I don't really... fit in." She said in an apologetic tone.

"Why not?" he asked as he pouted a little at her. "Is it because you don't have scars like us? Because you're too perfect?" he asked.

She shook her head. "Oh no, it's not that at all!"

"Then what is it?" he asked and frowned deeply.

"I don't know... Everyone's so... sullen, and serious... and strong.... I just feel... outta place." She admitted and looked at the floor.

"Then maybe you need to change to fit in. We are family." he said as he looked at her.

She watched him a moment. "Change? In what way?"

"Well I don't know." he shrugged and looked at her. "But hey as long as you're happy." he sneered.

"Well... I do want to try to... be part of the family." She whispered and stared at the ground again.

"Do you have family?" he asked and cocked his head to the side. He motioned for her to follow and stepped back

She stepped out of her room, and shook her head. "No... not anymore..."

"Well... then... let's go meet your new family." he said and held his hand out to her. She took his hand, and smiled a little. He smiled back and led her around, showing her the others in the building, some of them were a bit terrifying with their deformities. She tried to smile and tried be nice to everyone she met. Some were nice to her in turn and others were pretty nasty to her. She suddenly realized she didn't know the man's name.

She frowned slightly. "I'm sorry, but what's your name?"

"What? Oh! Sorry... my name is Sandstorm. As the name implies I make sand or manipulate it." he said.

She smiled. "Wow! That must be so fun."

"Sand? Nah it's rough and gets everywhere." he said and rolled his eyes.

She laughed. "That's true."

He smirked as he walked and stopped as he saw one of his friends. "Hey Circuit." he said and the woman stopped then looked at them.

The blue haired girl smiled. "Hello." She said as the woman approached.

The villain looked at her and furrowed her brow then looked to Sandstorm. "Who's this?" she asked with slight disgust. 

"Oh my name is Sachi. I'm new here." The blue haired girl smiled a little, trying to be friendly to this new woman.

Circuit stared at her and furrowed her brow. "I don't like your perfect little pale skin." she growled.

Sachi frowned slightly. "I-I'm... Sorry?"

The other girl glared as she looked at her and then at her gloved hands. "I don't like the way you look." she said.

The young smiling girl was very confused. "Um... Okay?" she muttered thinking she was rude. Circuit smirked and looked to Sandstorm who smiled and gripped Sachi's shoulders so she couldn't move. Her eyes widened. "Uh.... what are.... guys?" She asked with some fear in her eyes.

"Oh calm down little miss perfect. We'll just make you one of us." the villain purred and grabbed her hands. She took her glove off and slowly ran her hand along her palm. The pain was unbearable and where she touched a scar was created in the shape of circuitry. Sachi screamed and tried to pull away. The horrible woman didn't let go and went from the back of her hand down to her elbow on both arms. "There." she sneered as she looked at her handiwork. The blue haired girl was crying, and she tried to pull away.

"Oh stop crying." Sandstorm said as he kept her still. Circuit tapped the new scars and colored them to her liking.

"Oooh pretty." she sneered and looked at her then set her hand on her face. Sachi whimpered, trying to move her face away from her hand. Sandstorm gripped her hair to keep her still as they laughed and the pain grew.

A fist connected with the idiot girls face, as Herrick stepped in. "Leave her alone." He sounded more annoyed than anything else. The horrible woman cried out and stepped back having just colored the last scar. She glared at him and put the glove on again. Sandstorm shoved Sachi away as he glared. The blue haired girl held herself, and hid behind Herrick, wondering what she did wrong? The black haired boy glared at Sandstorm, before guiding Sachi back to her room.

"She'll never survive this place!" Circuit yelled and smirked as she wandered off. Though stopped as one man glared at the two.

"Watch yourselves." The big man growled and went after the other two. He was sort of friends of Herrick's and had been since the boy arrived. He didn't have any hidden motives which was odd. "You alright?" he asked gruffly as he got to them. Herrick nodded. Sachi stayed silent as she held herself tightly, looking at the strange, awful scars she now had.

"Hey." the tall man said to her and held his hand out. "Let me see." He whispered gently. She hesitantly held out her hand, but took it back. She had learned her lesson already. "It's okay." he said softly and looked at her with a little smile. "I won't hurt ya."

Herrick nodded. "He's one of the only decent ones around here." he huffed and Sachi once more held out her arm.

He glanced at Herrick and raised an eyebrow. "Decent?" he scoffed and shook his head. He looked over her arms then frowned. "Let's go to the medical area." he said and started walking. Herrick helped Sachi along as his mind went back to his conversation with the leader.

The tall man went to the medical area and tended to her wounds as he stared blankly. "Keep her safe Herrick." he said as he finished wrapping her arms.

The dark haired young man nodded as Sachi watched him wrap her arms. "... Thank you." She said quietly.

He paused and looked at her as he smiled a little. "You're welcome Sunshine." he said and put things away. He wasn't like the other villains, she smiled slightly at the realization. Herrick watched her as he started realizing why Toshi had liked her.

"Now. If you ever need anything or someone is bothering you don't be afraid to talk to me. I'll straighten everything out." The big man said and finished putting things away. "What's your name, child?" he asked wanting to make sure he had it right.

"Sachi." She said quietly.

"Hello Sachi." he whispered and held his hand out. "I'm Hugo." he smiled gently, like a father would. The man was tall and well built, but he was older and had gray hair and a beard. His eyes seemed kind but filled with sadness.

She waved slightly. "Nice to meet you Hugo."

"Nice to meet you Sachi." he said and watched them go as his smile faded. "Get out of here kid..." he whispered to himself as he stared after them.
