Chapter 9 - Chapter 9 The Deal

(Meanwhile at the abandoned building).

Dabi: "Dammit."

He muttered under his breath, pacing back and forth in the abandoned building.

Dabi: "I should've come up with a plan—something more thought out instead of charging out blindly. I can't tell what Random is plotting now that the game has changed—maybe even started over like before."

He paused, his brow furrowing as an old memory surfaced—an old man in the forest telling them about the escape route.

Dabi: "Wait... that old man..."

Dabi: "I don't want to kill anyone—especially not my friends."

He whispered softly, looking down as the rain poured harder outside. The wind howled through the city streets, knocking over trash cans and scattering debris—its relentless fury a stark reminder of the chaos that reigned.

Dabi: "How are we supposed to escape if we can't even find each other?"

He questioned aloud, his frustration growing as the realization hit him—without knowing where his friends were, escaping would be nearly impossible.

(In his mind).

"Hopefully Overhaul is okay... and Chrono too."

His heart ached as he remembered the fear in Overhaul's eyes when he lost his hand.

"I scared him so much—if we survive this, he probably won't want to speak to me ever again."

He thought sadly, recalling the horrific moment when he cut off Overhaul's hand with a saw. He looked down, determination flashing in his eyes despite his sadness.

"I have to find that hospital—for Overhaul's sake..."

"I can't wait—but it'd be stupid to go out there blindly."

He reasoned with himself, searching the room for any weapons he could use against zombies or other threats.

"There's none—that's just great."

He thought sarcastically when he found nothing. He sighed, approaching the window cautiously. To his surprise, the rain had stopped—leaving the city soaking wet and eerily quiet.

(Out of his mind).

Dabi: "The rain stopped..."

He whispered, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

His eyes widened as a note suddenly appeared in the sky, its words chilling and ominous.

The note: "Welcome back to the beginning... The whole point of escaping this place is that I want blood—and lots of it..."

He read silently, his heart sinking as the note vanished. Random's true intentions were clear now—he wasn't playing games anymore. He wanted death and destruction—pure carnage.

Dabi: "Now Random is getting serious."

He muttered grimly, clenching his fists tightly as the gravity of the situation hit him.

Dabi: "I have to find everyone before we all die... but first, I have to get to that hospital and help Overhaul. He'll slow us down—especially if Random is going all out."

He said to himself, carefully climbing out the window and beginning his descent down the slippery ladder. The city was eerily quiet—no zombies in sight for now—but Dabi knew that wouldn't last long.

(Meanwhile at the abandoned apartments).

Overhaul was breathing heavily—his body trembling from the prolonged vibrations on his overstimulated cock. He'd already passed his fifth orgasm—his cock leaking dry cum for what felt like hours. Tears streamed down his face as he begged Chrono.

Overhaul: "Stop... please... no more..."

His ass was bleeding from the brutal penetration—his first time being ruined by this monstrous act. He looked up at Chrono with sad, exhausted eyes—barely conscious as he neared unconsciousness from the overwhelming stimulation and pain.

Chrono: "I won't kill you—not just yet. I'm having too much fun."

He whispered darkly, his twisted smile sending shivers down

As the black figure disappeared from Chrono's body—his eyes widened in horror at the sight before him. Overhaul was crying, afraid, and clearly traumatized—his body covered in blood and cum. Chrono's twisted smile faded instantly—replaced by genuine remorse and shock.

Chrono: "I'm so sorry Kai..."

He whispered brokenly—his voice trembling as the reality of what he'd done set in. He reached out hesitantly—to touch Overhaul's cheek gently—his hand shaking badly.

Chrono: "I didn't... I wouldn't..."

His tears flowed freely as he immediately pulled his cock out of Overhaul's bleeding asshole—the sudden withdrawal causing Overhaul to whimper in pain. He saw the sadness and trust in Overhaul's eyes.

Overhaul: "It's okay... I know you wouldn't do that to me..."

He whispered brokenly—still believing Chrono hadn't meant any harm despite what had happened—his innocence shattered yet still hoping it wasn't real—the demon possessing him had done these horrors—not Chrono himself—right?

Chrono: "You'll be okay."

He promised gently, removing the vibrating dildo from Overhaul's spent, leaking cock and turning it off. He began untying the restraints—his movements careful and tender compared to the brutal possession before. Overhaul looked up at him calmly despite the pain wracking his body.

Overhaul: "I can't move..."

He stated simply, his eyes remaining locked onto Chrono's face—searching for any sign of the monster that had assaulted him, hoping against hope that it was truly gone.

Chrono: "Just rest, okay?"

He whispered softly, walking away to find clothes for both of them—his mind racing with thoughts of Dabi.

(In his mind).

"Where are you right now?"

He thought desperately—hoping that somehow, Dabi was still out there—safe and unaware of the horrors that had just occurred.

(Out of his mind)

Meanwhile, Overhaul watched him silently—his body aching and tired—his mind still trying to comprehend what had just happened—his heart breaking slowly as he realized that something was truly wrong with his beloved friend.

(Meanwhile at the abandoned house somewhere in the city that's close to the forest).

Shigaraki: "The rain has stopped—I think it's time to head out and search for the others!"

He exclaimed eagerly—but Lady Nagant looked at him like he was crazy.

Lady Nagant: "You insane? We should wait until morning—going out now is suicide!"

She snapped annoyance clearly in her voice. Shigaraki's enthusiasm deflated slightly—but his determination didn't waver.

Shigaraki: "I know but... what if they need help right now? What if they're hurt or worse? "Maybe—but we need to find the others so we can escape!"

He insisted, moving towards the window and looking out cautiously. After a moment of scanning the area, he declared.

Shigaraki: "Looks like we're safe to head out."

He began opening the window, preparing to climb out. Lady Nagant sighed heavily—knowing there was no stopping him—but deciding to join him rather than stay alone in the house.

Lady Nagant: "Fine—I'm coming with you."

She muttered grudgingly.

(Meanwhile at the road).

Toga: "Someone help!"

She screamed at the top of her lungs as she ran down the road—Midoriya's maniacal laughter echoing behind her. She glanced back briefly—the sight of Midoriya gaining on her making her heart pound in fear. Her foot caught on a rock suddenly—sending her sprawling forward into thin air. She disappeared into a portal that had appeared out of nowhere or was blending perfectly with its surroundings—a scream of terror ripping from her throat as she vanished without a trace.

Toga groaned softly.

Toga: "Ow..."

She looked up slowly—realizing she was back in the real world. She blinked dazedly—taking in her surroundings as she climbed to her feet unsteadily. The last thing she remembered was running from Midoriya—his laughter filling her ears before she tripped and fell into... a portal? She shivered—unsettled by the mysterious experience and the fact that she had no idea where she was now.

Toga: "Where am I?"

She murmured, looking around warily.

(In Random's World).

Random: "What just happened?"

It muttered to itself in the void of its existence. A symbol of a goat head briefly flashed in its mind before vanishing instantly—an interference it didn't understand or care about anymore.

Random: "I guess it doesn't matter now."

It dismissed casually—its focus shifting back to the game world where chaos continued to unfold without Toga's presence.

(Back in the real world).

Toga hesitantly put her hand out where the portal had been—her fingers meeting only empty air. The portal was truly gone—seemingly never existing in the first place. She shivered—the realization that she might be permanently trapped in this real world sending a wave of panic through her.

Toga: "Should I go back... or just go..."

She whispered to herself—her voice trembled with fear and uncertainty. The choice between returning to the hellish nightmare or venturing into real world was daunting.

(In her mind).

Toga's thoughts raced as she came to a horrifying realization.

"The portal is based on... Random."

Her eyes widened in terror as it hit her—the creator of this nightmare might be the one deciding who lived and who died.

(Out of her mind).

Toga: "Oh no."

She whispered brokenly, her voice cracking with dread. If Random was controlling who entered and exited the game world, then everyone's fate was literally in his hands—and his hands alone. Nobody was safe.

(Meanwhile at the abandoned apartments)

Overhaul: "Dammit, everything hurts..."

He groaned softly, staring blankly at the ceiling—his body broken and exhausted from everything he had endured. In his mind, dark thoughts crept in—memories of his mangled, one-handed body and the brutal rape haunting him.

(In his mind).

"Random is probably planning on killing me violently... since I've already been mutilated and raped."

He thought bitterly.

"Just kill me already."

The pain had become unbearable—both physically and mentally.

(Out of his mind).

He looked up—realizing Chrono wasn't in the room anymore.

Overhaul: "Chrono?"

He called out weakly, trying to sit up slowly. The pain from his abused body made every movement excruciating—he could still feel cum and blood mixing inside his battered asshole. He strained to hear anything—hoping for a response but instead heard something moving in another room. Furniture scraping against the floor echoed through the apartment along with soft crying and whimpers.

Overhaul: "Chrono...?"

He whispered, his voice barely audible.

Overhaul: "Chrono..."

His heart sank as he heard Chrono's muffled sobs growing louder—the footsteps ascending the stairs sending a chill down his spine. He tilted his head up—seeing Chrono with a rope wrapped tightly around his neck—heading towards the slightly open window.

Overhaul: "Chrono... why are you crying?"

He asked softly—but Chrono didn't respond—his mind clearly made up about something terrible.

Chrono: "I can't do this anymore..."

He muttered to himself—looping one end of the rope around the metal ladder outside.

Overhaul: "Chrono, what are you doing? Stop it—you'll hurt yourself!"

He yelled desperately—trying to snap Chrono out of his suicidal thoughts. He attempted to get up quickly—to stop Chrono from carrying out whatever terrible plan he had—but the sudden movement sent searing pain through his mutilated hand. He cried out loudly as he fell back down—his body hitting the floor with a thud.

Overhaul: "Please don't do it!"

He pleaded desperately—his voice choked with pain and fear.

Overhaul: "Chrono... stop..."

Chrono: "Random wants blood... right? That's how we're gonna get outta here..."

He murmured softly—his mind made up. He turned back to Overhaul—his expression unreadable.

Chrono: "But you... You're getting outta here."

He said calmly—his thumbs hooking into the rope loop around his neck. Overhaul's heart raced—trying to crawl towards him—using his uninjured hand to pull himself up.

Overhaul: "No! Don't!"

He pleaded desperately—his voice breaking.

Overhaul: "Chrono..."

Chrono: "Random was making deals with people... And he wanted me to kill you—said he wanted you dead anyway."

He explained calmly—his eyes never leaving Overhaul's.

Chrono: "But I didn't want that... So I made a deal with him. If I killed myself—you'd live. You'd escape this world."

He stood closer to the open window—his hands gripping the window frame tightly. Overhaul froze—his eyes widened in horror as the reality of the situation hit him.

Overhaul: "Chrono... No..."

(Flashback).

Chrono was faced with Random's twisted demand. The demon's smile was pure evil as it spoke.

Random: "I'm going to kill your precious friend—and let you live once I've finished raping him. He'll be dead meat."

Chrono's fists clenched tightly—his eyes blazing with determination.

Chrono: "No... I'm not letting you kill my friend."

He growled menacingly.

Chrono: "How about we make a deal?"

Random: "A deal? I'm listening. What's your deal?"

Its demonic voice echoed—its tone sickeningly gleeful.

Random: "My deals always involve blood... so what's yours?"

Chrono looked up calmly—his expression unreadable.

Chrono: "How about... I kill myself?"

Random chuckled darkly—the sound like nails on a chalkboard.

Random: "You've got yourself a deal. Once you kill yourself... your friend will be back in the human world."

(End of flashback).

Chrono: "Goodbye, Kai."

He said softly—a genuine smile on his face as he stepped off the window ledge. Overhaul moved faster than he thought possible—despite his injuries—the pain was forgotten as he lunged forward and grabbed Chrono's arm.

Overhaul: "No wait—Chrono!"

He screamed desperately, pulling with all his might—the rope straining between them. Chrono looked up at him—his expression peaceful.

Chrono: "Kai... let me go."

He whispered gently. Overhaul's eyes turned red—tears streaming down his face.

Chrono: "It's okay."

He murmured softly—his other hand gently prying Overhaul's fingers from his arm. Overhaul cried out.

Overhaul: "No Chrono!"

The pain from his abused body and Chrono's strength forced him to let go. He watched in horror as Chrono fell—his neck snapping with a sickening crack. The world went black—then suddenly Overhaul found himself back in the real world—next to a hospital building.

(Outside abandoned apartments).

Random's voice echoed through the abandoned apartment—its tone mocking.

Random: "One is dead... more to go. Two have escaped... who's next to escape, and who's next to die?"

It disappeared suddenly—leaving nothing but an eerie silence.

(Meanwhile, in a dark alleyway).

Dabi stood alone—his head tilted back as he watched the clouds dissipate above him.

Dabi: "Random..."

He murmured darkly, his thoughts consumed by Chrono and Overhaul—and the terrifying unknown of their fate.

(In his mind).

His worried constantly.

"How are Overhaul and Chrono doing? Should I go back to see if they're okay?"

The thought consumed him until he made a decision—he immediately turned around to head back to the abandoned apartments.

(Meanwhile, in the shadows of the same alleyway).

Akira stood perched atop a building—a twisted smile on his face. Akira: "Looks like we have a lost lamb.

He whispered, recalling Random's command.

(Flashback).

Akira: "Before you say anything—I don't care about escaping. All I care about is killing. And you keeping people trapped here? That's a godsend for me."

He heard Random's demonic laughter echo through the void—the sound sending shivers down his spine.

Random: "Kill the ones I choose, and in return? I'll grant you one wish."

Akira smirked darkly.

Akira: "Okay sure—I'll do that."

(End of flashback).

(An hour later).

Dabi's heart stopped as he saw Chrono's lifeless body hanging from the building—his eyes wide with horror.

Dabi: "Chrono is dead..."

He whispered brokenly, clenching his fists tightly as tears pricked at the corners of his eyes.

Dabi: "If Chrono is dead—then Overhaul is probably dead too..."

He reasoned darkly, scanning the area for any sign of Overhaul's body—but seeing nothing but empty space.

Dabi: "Overhaul is probably not dead..."

He hoped desperately.

Dabi: "Maybe his body is inside..."

He heard footsteps coming from behind as he looked back.

Dabi: "What the hell?"

He exclaimed, his heart racing as he barely dodged the axe swung at his head—his reflexes honed from years of combat training. Akira's twisted smile sends shivers down Dabi's spine—the Psychopath's eyes filled with deadly intent.

Akira: "You dodge so fast."

He complimented darkly.

Akira: "Let's see if you can dodge the next one."

He raised the axe again, his mind made up—he was going to kill Dabi slowly and painfully.

This will continue in the next chapter.
