"He's dead"
The solider sneered.

The words hit all of them like a bullet, like they utterly couldn't believe what he said.

"Your lying!
Bring his body here now!"

"I can't.
It's ashes, disintegrated and blown into the wind.
A mere solider, like I, cannot collect all the ashes of his body."

"WHEN?! WHEN WAS HE MURDERED?!"
Katsuki screamed in a fury.

"2 days ago.
You're all a bit too late"

Endeavor slashed all the soldiers throats as he turned back to his army in defeat.

"We need to find another group of soliders to confirm it..."

"But how will we ever know if the truth is being told?"

"Lie detector.
Step up"

A man with short flat hair stepped up, his name was naomasa Tsukauchi.

His quirk allowed him to tell truth from a lie.

They quickly found another group of soliders and questioned them as well.

"He's dead..."

"His body is ashes"

"There's nothing we can do..."

"Well?"
Endeavor turned to face Tsukauchi who could only stare at the ground gravely...

"They're...

Telling the truth..."

Everyone collectively gasped as they fell into disbelief, all their hard work was for nothing...
And with their limited troops and lack of a plan, they couldn't immediately wage war...

They had to return emtpy handed and

Endeavor killed the soliders and signalled for a disappointing retreat.

They were too late...

Katsuki was the most upset of all, for a reason he couldn't even explain himself.
He didn't understand why he was feeling what he was feeling, but it didn't change the fact he was feeling it...

He was truly upset.

Izuku was...

Dead.

Or at least they thought so.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU STILL CANT FIND HIM..?!"
Tomura screamed.
He had a grand plan.

He told the leader of each troop that Izuku's body was meant to be intact but told the members of the troop that izuku was actually ashes and all they were searching for was the missing sword.

He knew the Empiral army would come any day so he had to prepare.

"He's gone missing...
And on top of that, the Empiral soliders already came by.
2 troops were killed and it's obvious they retreated.
It's likely they're strategizing for war.
If a war erupts while we still haven't found him it can turn for the worst..."

"I know...
Tch...

If we can't find his body it means he's still alive within the kingdom.
Set out for a search within the kingdom now."

"Okay your majesty"

"You little brat...
Just days ago you were in my clutches...
My trump card...

Tch"
