Heyo! Hi! I'm sorry for taking a tid bit longer, I've had some things pile up and procrastination hit me like a truck! But, here's another chapter, and a pretty long one too! I hope y'all enjoy! The song above is You Give Love a Bad Name by Bon Jovi!
Gasping, Izuku lurched upwards, his hands wildly patting at his chest, his sole eye unable to shake the image that burned into his retina before he fell unconscious.
A ghostly glowing eldritch hand had pierced through his chest, claws clear of any blood, yet Izuku felt all the pain of having a huge clawed hand thrust through his chest.
And that voice, a gravelly and cruel intonation with maliciousness oozing from the single word spoken.
"Silence."
"What happened?"
Weakly, Izuku looked over his crew, both of which were staring at Izuku in concern; after all, it was highly unusual for Izuku to even be ill, let alone pass out, and Izuku felt bad, he didn't want his family to worry about him. For a moment, neither answered before Cedrick spoke.
"We have no idea. We were enroute to Hosu when you collapsed."
A blaring headache flashed through Izuku's cranium, a searing agony making Izuku clench his eye closed to stave away the pain. Hosu. Something happened in Hosu. Rell.
"Rell..."
Determination flooded Izuku's veins, his hands pushing his struggling body up as he got to his feet, wobbly as he was.
"We need to get to Hosu. Now."

Deep in the underground, the belly of Japan, a freakishly tall man crouched, his form hunched to fit into the tight room as his claws dragged along the ground, digging around, his eyes calm and steady as he clawed deeper, searching for his goal.
From beneath the dirt, a flash of gold erupted, shimmering under the harsh, if slightly spotted, light that emitted from the stolen industrial lights. Clawed hands tightly clasped around the golden trinket, admiring the stained golden idol with a keen eye, scanning the perfect item, drinking in the fine craftsmanship of the item: the intricate carving etched into the middle of a circle, the four fluorescent blue lights on the edge, the two larger prongs stabbing down like the fangs of a spider, a masterful work. Knowing what he must do, the Conductor muttered to himself.
"O Lord hath provided again."
Blood red energy leaked into the golden icon, corrupting the once blue lights to that of a bright crimson as tainted power flowed into the now imperfect trinket. As if knowing it was being corrupted, a small golden bubble appeared around the idol, only for it to shatter under the might of the corrupted energy that the titan exuded.
"Bleed."
A crack made its way down the face of the idol, and it shook harshly before it stopped, a calm pervaded the space as the titan's face curled into a cruel smile. Only for it to drop as the idol weeped, its suffering agony clear with the phantom shrieks that the item emitted. Having enough of the ear bleeding shriek, the titan raised his hand, his fingers glowing with his corrupted power as thrust his hand forward.
