The Late Moon Pillar

• the fight •

Running now towards an Alleyway, you decided to not meet your friends yet and proceeded to All For One directly.

'Hatsume'

-I'm here, the location is here.

You rounded on the corner continuing on a fast speed when Hatsume who was already there outside of the place threw the original katana at you and catching it with your one hand. 

You tighten the grip on your katana and jumped so high looking below you while doing a breathing technique.

'Breath of Moon: Eighth Form: Moon-Dragon Ringtail'

A powerful gigantic crescent, slashed through the place upto the deep parts of it below since the location was on the underground level of the place. You dropped down below using your katana to lessen the speed and landed safely at the end of the drop.

You put back your original katana and looked around the place to see some glass containers filled with green liquid and a Nomu inside as there are also wires connecting to each of it. Looking at the end route in the middle, you saw someone sitting on the swiveling chair with tubes also connected to him.

You heard a chuckle coming from the man sitting but you kept a neutral face, still walking towards the man.

"I thought you're just planning to find my location, from that persuading days of you to become a villain..you planted this little thing on me?"

He showed you the microchip Hatsume and you made when he crushed it with his hands and smiled.

"I can't believe I became blind of wanting you to become a villain just because I want you to continue of who you really are"

"Who I really am? What do you know about me?"

He chuckled and started to remove the tubes that are connected to him seeing a bunch of monitors that are placed beside him with the faces of your classmates, teachers, family, and heroes on the screen.

You kept a calm expression and the man turned to you along with his swiveling chair.

"Demons and Demon Slayer Corps.."

You flinched at what he said.

"I am a child too once, while my brother fantasize about heroes..I fantasize about villains too and I read this story from a history book..the 12 Ranking Moons of the Demon King, Kibutsuji Muzan"

He continued.

"It's just the portion of the book since it focuses more on the achievements of the Demon Slayer Corps but I encountered the name Kokushibo on the book..ever since then I've always wanted to meet his descendants that he left, just to be powerful"

You grabbed the hilt of your original katana when the man in front of you started to stand up.

"And here I am standing in front of his late descendant, trying to be a hero like those Demon Slayer Corps"

His smile faded away when you just stared at him not letting your guard down.

"You failed me and you're a humiliation to the one I looked up to. You have a bit of his blood and have the power in par with him and his brother...why do you choose to ignore the power and-"

A single slash echoed in the whole room seeing his head slowly sliding off his neck and fell on the ground. 

You watched the head roll when it slowly disintegrated and you heard a clap from behind.

"So you got the Masked Man's quirk as well?"

"Of course, why would I allow them in Tomura's group if they were not useful. Now let's see if you can fight a dozen of me-"
