The Killing Power (Villain Deku)

P11

Midoriya POV

It's dark

It's cold

It's empty

Everything around me is murky and icy. I'm floating in air but it feels like I'm in water. It's peaceful. But it feels like something is trying to get to me. Trying to reach me. I feel a shiver up my spine.

Out of the distance a soft glow comes closer. It's shining bright. But it's fluctuating. White to crimson to deep purple. Flashing and blinding me simultaneously.

But it seems to be coming towards me. Gliding in this empty space, and I feel compelled to go towards it.

I reach out... slowly.

It reaches out towards me. I can feel it. Like a magnetic connection. I'm reaching trying to get to it.

There's a voice behind me.

Izuku! Izuku!

It sounds so far away. But this is more important.

Its movements remind me of blood I control. Gracefully dancing in the open space.

I'm reaching out, it's so close. But I'm being pulled back.

NO! I WILL NOT BE TAKEN AGAIN!

So I struggle. And struggle. And I break free from this invisible grasp controlling me.

We make contact.

It grips onto my fingers. And slides up my arm, across my chest, down my torso and legs, on my face.

Streams of the unknown substance reaching out.

But when it gets to my heart, and to my head. Pain.

I'm feeling dizzy. And I can't control my body. My limbs lashing out on their own.

The voice returns.

But I can't hear it as clearly this time.

Izuk--ha--ng--seiz--elp!

What does that mean?

My thoughts aren't clear. I'm focusing on the pain and nothing else.

Sharp stabbing pains come now. Hitting ever inch of my body. I can feel myself jolting at the movements. I want this to stop.

I start struggling around. As if I can rip myself away from this thing that decided to latch itself on my body.

But it seemed familiar. Then I thought.

I'm part demon...is this the demon part trying to 'become one' with me?

I should relax. This is all happening for a reason. Why should I reject something that's a part of me?

It stops.

No pain or suffering. Just silence. It's calm now. I feel warm. And...happy. it's been a while since I've been truly happy.

It's been ages since I've felt truly peaceful.

But one word lingers in my mind.

"Cain"

Cain? What's that?

And now. Instead of sinking, I feel as if I'm being pushed towards the surface.

It's no longer dark. My mind, and this water, seems clearer now. Memories are flashing in the water. Memories...that aren't mine.

Abel keeps talking to God more. It's unfair. I try harder than him. I'm better than him.
