Too Late

Chapter 31: The Urgency Of The Words

In the following three weeks, Class 1A, along with Aizawa, dedicated themselves to unraveling the mystery surrounding Doctor and locating his whereabouts. They scoured databases, hacked into secret files, and sought out any leads that could bring them closer to the truth.

Every spare moment was spent investigating, analyzing, and strategizing. The urgency in their hearts grew with each passing day, knowing that Shigaraki's return was imminent. They had a limited window to rescue Midoriya's mind and save him from the clutches of his tormentors.

Together, they delved deeper into the dark underbelly of the villain world, unearthing fragments of information that gradually formed a clearer picture. Doctor was a mastermind in the field of illegal scientific experimentation, specializing in altering Quirks and manipulating human bodies. His presence sent shivers down their spines, knowing the extent of the horrors he had inflicted upon Midoriya.

Yet, despite their tireless efforts, Doctor remained elusive. His identity was shrouded in shadows, and his operations hidden from the public eye. Each dead end they encountered fueled their determination further, igniting a fire within their hearts to bring justice to Midoriya and put an end to Doctor's twisted experiments.

As the days dwindled and Shigaraki's deadline loomed, desperation threatened to seep into their minds. Doubts crept in, whispering the possibility of failure. But they refused to succumb to despair. They rallied their strength and resolved to fight until the very end.

Inko, too, became an integral part of their mission, supporting them with unwavering love and encouragement. She knew that the fate of her son hung in the balance, and she placed her trust in Class 1A and Aizawa, knowing they would stop at nothing to save Midoriya.

Time became their enemy, relentlessly ticking away as they raced against the clock. Every day was a precious opportunity to gather more information, uncover more leads, and inch closer to the truth. Their determination fueled their relentless pursuit, their hearts beating as one in their mission to bring Midoriya back from the abyss.

In the face of adversity, they remained united, drawing strength from each other's unwavering support. Their bond as friends, as classmates, and as heroes grew stronger with each passing day. They refused to let Midoriya be consumed by darkness, vowing to protect his spirit and restore his stolen identity.

With resolute determination burning in their eyes, they prepared to face the final stretch of their journey. The month and two weeks left seemed both daunting and fleeting, but they were ready to give everything they had. The battle to save Midoriya's mind and rescue him from the clutches of Doctor was about to reach its climax, and they would not falter.

Two days later during one night, Iida and Todoroki sat with Midoriya, keeping him company as the rest of Class 1A continued their search for information regarding Doctor. The weight of the situation hung heavily in the air, and both Iida and Todoroki were deeply concerned for their friend.

Iida glanced at Midoriya, his voice soft with worry. "Todoroki, it's hard to see him like this. He's so distant, like he's trapped in his own mind."

Todoroki nodded, his gaze fixed on Midoriya. "Yes, it's like he's fighting an internal battle. We need to find a way to help him break free from Shigaraki's control and regain control of his own mind."

As they spoke, Midoriya's breathing suddenly became fast and erratic, startling both Iida and Todoroki. They exchanged worried glances, unsure of what to do.

Then, without warning, Midoriya's eyes regained their glow, and he began looking around the room as if searching for something. Iida and Todoroki watched in astonishment as Midoriya spoke to himself, seemingly unaware of their presence.
