*Lady Nagant has brought Overhaul to a remote cabin in the woods, far from the dorms. She's invited a few others to join them, and they should be arriving soon, now that the forest is no longer a source of horror. She took Overhaul's hand and guided him into the abandoned cabin, which looked like it hadn't been lived in for decades. A sudden shift in personality occurred, and the first Link's persona emerged, causing him to force himself on Lady Nagant in the woods. She struggled to push him away, but his grip was too strong. His red eyes gleamed as he vomited a black liquid down her throat, asserting his control over her. Afterwhile, Overhaul's clone created distance, pretending he had nothing to do with the situation as his third link personality surfaced.*
Lady Nagant: "..."
*The shock of the assault was so intense that it was soon erased from her mind, as if it had been nothing more than a figment of her imagination.*
Overhaul: "Is everything all right?"
*He asked her, his voice filled with concern.*
Lady Nagant: "Everything is fine."
*When she smiles at him, Lady Nagant's demeanor changes, and she becomes a puppet. She looks back to see that her guests have arrived, although many were hesitant due to Overhaul's attendance.*
Shigaraki: "So he's here too?"
*He is wary of Overhaul, knowing that he is a clone created by the goat cult group.*
Lady Nagant: "I've got some exciting news - we're dating!"
*She smiles happily and kisses Overhaul on the lips, but he appears confused, unsure of how they became a couple. The others in the background look on in confusion, wondering if this is some kind of joke.*
(In the background).
Dabi: "You two make a great couple."
*He smiled at Lady Nagant and Overhaul, but his heart skipped a beat as a sinister feeling settled in the air, making him sense that someone was watching them.*
Lady Nagant: "Why don't we take advantage of being together and have a night out like old times?"
*She brought out a cooler filled with beer, smiling at everyone, and for a moment it felt like they were back in the forest, before everything fell apart. A few of them hesitated, but ultimately decided to go along with it.*
*As the hours passed, everyone became intoxicated, except for Overhaul, Dabi, and Shigaraki.*
Dabi: "So, how's your father? You must be happy to have the chance to see him again."
*He regards Overhaul calmly, yet his heart skips a beat as he senses a familiar feeling.*
Overhaul: "I guess so."
*He murmurs softly as Lady Nagant's hand rests on his, and his gaze falls on Dabi before he starts vomiting black liquid. In the blink of an eye, a demon form from the black liquid with striking similarities to Random materializes right in front of everyone, causing both Dabi and Shigaraki's eyes to widen in shock. The demon begins to transform the scenery, teleporting everyone to its dark and foreboding world, where the once-lush forest was now shrouded in an impenetrable darkness.*
Dabi: "..."
(In his mind).
"It seems I no longer need to pretend. I had a feeling that the cult couldn't restrain themselves. But the other me said he'll find him but was that Random or other version of Random what the cult made other version of Random to kill me?"
(Out of his mind).
*In a moment of fury, He activates his quirk and unleashes blue flames at Overhaul, who is holding hands with Lady Nagant. Lady Nagant swiftly reacts, shielding Overhaul with her own body and absorbing the impact of the flames. Despite her burns, she lets out a pained scream, her eyes filled with hatred as she glares at Dabi.*
Overhaul: "Are you okay?"
*He questioned her about the severe burns she sustained from Dabi's quirk, and observed that she was healing automatically as he reached out to assist her.*
Shigaraki: "..."
*As he recalls how to communicate with a member of the goat cult, he snaps his fingers, and in an instant, he finds himself in a dark room with a bloody pentagram.*
Shigaraki: "I'm aware that one of you assholes is present. Can you explain what happened? I believed we had a deal in place."
*In the midst of the darkness, he looks around and is startled by the sudden appearance of one of the goat cult members.*
Orgullo: "Your friend Dabi is a danger to our plans, and it's in everyone's best interest if you allow us to deal with him."
*He gives him a cold glare as another member of the goat cult appears, who happens to be the leader.*
The Leader Of The Goat Cult: "So, I take it you've seen the demon I just created?"
*He calmly states this while clutching his book, which begins to glow at intervals.*
Shigaraki: "You had a deal with me! Including Overhaul so you fucked us both!"
*With a fierce glare, he immediately tries to decay the goat cult leader using his quirk, but he is suddenly teleported away and accidentally uses his quirk on Toga, causing her to decay instantly. As the reality of what he had done sunk in, his eyes widened, and he felt the weight of her blood and ashes on his hands, his trembling hands clenching into fists in anger at the cult leader who had pushed him to commit the unthinkable.*
Dabi: "Shigaraki..."
*He gazes at him calmly yet angrily, knowing that his dealings with the goat cult will have consequences.*
Shigaraki: "Let's work together to bring down the goat cult."
*With a determined look, he glances over at the Overhaul clone and Lady Nagant.*
(In his mind).
"Lady Nagant appears to have become Overhaul's puppet, judging by how well she's protecting him."
(Out of his mind).
Lady Nagant: "He's under my protection, and you'll have to deal with me before you can harm him."
*She glares at Dabi and Shigaraki, her gaze also extending to others who might provide them with assistance.*
Overhaul: "..."
*With the first link personality back in control, a twisted smile crosses his face, and he swiftly utilizes his quirk to deconstruct the ground, reassembling it into spikes as he turns his attention to Dabi. Dabi dodges the spikes and charges towards Overhaul, activating his quirk to unleash blue flames. He attempts to burn both Lady Nagant and Overhaul, but Overhaul uses Lady Nagant as a human shield.*
