[Takes place immediately after this. As such it is an event that happened in the past, and if asked the muses would treat it as such. Think of it as information finally coming to life :) tw: death, decapitation]

The room was silent as Eleven’s head, or at least the top half fell to the ground. An internal threat had been dealt with, the Foundation was safe once more, and Seven was very tired.

“What happened here?” a voice familiar to Seven could be heard. Everyone turned to the doorway.

“Wait, what?” Five spoke out. “It’s you!”

There were two familiar figures in the doorway. One of them was dressed in a nice white suit with bright golden eyes while the other had a more ragged cloak with what looked like a piece of his face missing, except instead of flesh the underside revealed a robotic face. Despite looking odd, the council could recognize them immediately.

"Three, Nine! You're back!" Thirteen exclaimed. Three nodded.

"Yes we are but, uh, why is Eleven dead?" Three asked, pointing at the head of Eleven lying on the floor. The room was silent for a beat before One spoke up.

"How about we talk about it over some coffee?"

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

A little bit later the remaining council members were in the Council room, each nursing tea, and coffee, except Five and Ten, who were drinking Caprisuns instead. After One finally finished brewing her fourth cup, she turned towards the prodigal O5s.

"So. You," she pointed at Nine, "Were sent with Two to rescue Three from Dr. Wondertainment. Now you and Three are back, but Two is nowhere in sight. What happened?"

Nine shifted uncomfortably. "We had to navigate through the factory to find Three. Two was, oddly antagonistic going through it, so willing to kill the Little Misters. Eventually, we got separated thanks to Mr. Beast, and I ended up falling into the testing room, with the prototype Little Misters. There they told me that I was actually a synthetic human designed to look like a robot and Two was a traitor. They helped me return to the main room, where Three was and Dr. Wondertainment lay wounded." At this Four seemed to shudder. "Three turned him to quartz and I kicked his head off, and he shattered. I then got another bombshell dropped on me."

"I am a little mister," Three spoke up. "You could probably tell by my eyes, but I am one of Dr. Wondertainments' sons. It's been so long since I stepped foot in the factory, I guess it was gone from my brain." He smiled at his colleagues. "I was offered to stay at the factory, but I chose to be with you guys instead. I want to share the fun ideals of my father, but I must help the Foundation. If there isn't a world to give fun in, then my father's plans are ruined!"

There was a beat of silence where everyone smiled at knowing where Three's allegiance fell. Soon Four spoke up.

"Uh, Three. How's um... How is the Good Doctor?"

"Hm? Oh your husband is fine, father." At this nonchalant answer, One choked on her coffee. All eyes turned to Four, who sighed.

"Yes, I am married to Dr. Wondertainment. He is in fact, one of my partners. I have been married to him back when he was one of the founders here, O5-VII. The “Family-Man”. After the Three Catastrophes I was presumed dead and couldn't find him. If he is okay, then after this meeting I will call him immediately."

"I don't know what's more eyebrow-raising," Seven spoke up. "That you're married to Dr. Wondertainment, Dr. Wondertainment was one of our founders, or you are that old." Four shot Seven a glare, but it wasn't filled with any real anger.

"Greetings O5-3, The Noble, and O5-9, The Alchemist,"

O5-13-ii spoke up.

"It is a pleasure to meet you. However, I want to say something to the rest of the council. In the past 24 hours, we have learned of two of our own who have defected and have made actions that threatened the safety of our lives. This cannot happen again. I propose stricter checks to make sure that the incoming O5s can be trusted. That or perhaps if you can 100% verify them as being trustworthy."

Everyone agreed with what 13-ii said. These were some close calls, and next time they may not be so lucky.

Hosu..the incident rang in his head like a distant memory. The first time all his training came to fruition.

Ida his friend consumed by grief decided to confront a demon in the shadows..stain and then everything else just went wrong. Nomus at the same time as his first internship. It was pure chance that his hero had decided going to hosu that night but if he hadnt everything would have gone so wrong. 

He made it though! just in time and managed to break stain away for ida was culled. He was lucky he brought the correct weapon that night.

It was the only way he could have won.

He full manifested his full manifestation since usj though this time conconsciouslly turning into the bodyguard of sun quan. The bodyguard to wu. Zhou tai. Silent, skillful a master swordman.

“Oh? Do you think since you changed you can beat me? If we battle the weaker will be culled.” That voice, those eyes. Pierced into his memories as zhou now had complete control of his body.

Stain was a good swordsman but zhou clearly outmatched him stain was nearly on the defensive the entire time and then a stratch was all it took for him to be put out of the game. 

Luckily he had called for reinforcements and todoroki arrived just in time as he slowly recovered..all it took was a drop and stain could paralyze any of them but it was found that different blood types took longer or shorter times..even when he recovered he had waited gripping his blade tightly 

Todoroki nearly lost a arm to his waiting but luckily ida recovered and broke the others sword and staggered him.

His chance. 

He got up slowly ida and todoroki were talking as stain recovered but it was too late for either of them.

He moved fast, faster then before moving his sword back into his sheath as stain turned eyes widend.

“Its over...fall.”

The blade moved out of the sheath in lightning speed as todoroki and ida had turned to look seeing izuku on the other side of stain blade stretched out dripping with blood as he slowly stood straight flicking the blood off as a burst of blood erupted out of stain his eyes bulging as blood has spurted from his mouth falling to his knees as izuku sheahted his blade the manifestation dropping as he swayed slightly.

Stain turned his head shaking as he saw izuku fall to his knee. “The strong...cull the weak...” The last things he sputtered out as his eyes slowly dulled and he thudded forward blood pooling out of him...defeated..and dead.

Izuku passed out shortly after leaving his stunned classmates.

Aftermath even though izuku had permission from his hero to find ida and fight...he had still killed a villain. It was ruled that izuku had no choice..or that it wasnt his fault due to a manifestation he couldnt control...though it was released that a young hero had helped bring down stain..the killing blow was put to someone else..and ida and todoroki were sworn to silence on the real events.

The event had changed him...for better...

HEY! HEYYYY!!!

Quick question!

For the New Year’s!

Little snippet from the lore piece ‘Pilgrimage’

New Lore Piece on Dragons has me thinking of writing a new adventure in Alice Dippleblack's world.
