Torment
Charging at the hulking figure, Aiden easily dodged his attack and shifted above him. Using his quirk to construct twin knives, he used his astral gravity to increase his weight and fell knee first into Muscular's unprotected face breaking his nose in the process.
Gritting his teeth, he manipulated his loose muscle fibers to trap Aiden's leg.
"DIEE!!"
Shifting out of the fibers, Aiden created some distance between the two before light-stepping into his range.
"STAY STILL!!" Muscular screamed.
Evading another one of his swings, Aiden brushed past his figure and left a nasty looking wound on his cheek.
"One down, 999 to go."
Hearing this, Muscular grew enraged and rushed towards him.
Shifting in front of his face, Aiden used his astral gravity manipulation to increase the weight on his right leg and slammed it into Muscular's uninjured cheek.
"Arghhh!!"
Enduring the pain, he grabbed at Aiden's outstretched leg. Shifting out of grasp, Aiden appeared a couple feet away.

*Pant* *Pant* *Pant*
Feeling his stamina slowly deplete, Muscular felt his face burn as it was covered in several bloody cuts.
Seeing his current state, Aiden light-stepped towards him. Preparing to receive him head on, surprise covered Muscular's face when Aiden suddenly shifted away.
Appearing at the right side of his face. Aiden grabbed onto his head and ruthlessly kneed him in the face and sent him sprawling onto the floor.
*CRASH!!*
"Slash."
Not giving him enough time to recover, Aiden kept tormenting him until his face was no longer recognizable.
---
"Pwease Stwop!!" He cowered and covered his bruised and bloodied face.
Ignoring his cries, Aiden continued to cut through his muscle fibers until he reached his skin.
"423, 424, 425."
Watching this from a distance, Kouta stood stunned by the spectacle in front of him, for the past 5 minutes Aiden had continuously tormented this once arrogant villain into complete cowardice.
As a control measure to make sure he wouldn't be able to make a proper fist, Aiden used his knives to pierce through Muscular's palms and left him with no real way to attack. He even went so far as to stab through his feet so he wouldn't be able to stand properly without feeling intense pain. And just to be extra, he removed his artificial eye and blinded the other. With all of this pain inflicted upon his body, Muscular quickly fell from grace and spilled everything to Aiden regarding their plan to abduct Bakugo.
But what really broke him was the time that Aiden increased his weight and landed heel first onto his crotch. The pain was excruciating. And to make it even worse, he started grinding his foot in just for good measure.
---
"Okay I'm bored."
After completing the 700th cut, Aiden felt that this was becoming too time consuming and felt it would just be easier to slit his throat and be done with it.
Having this thought in mind, he lifted the knife and was about to slide it across Muscular's THICC neck. But just as he was going to do so, he suddenly stopped. Remembering what he did to the mercenaries back in America, a cruel smile emerged on his face as he decided to leave him alive. At this point he was sure that he had already completely broken him and crushed any semblance of pride he might have had left. But just for good measure he stomped down on his now unprotected ribs.
*CRACK!!*
"Ah, that's better." He breathed. Turning around he saw Kouta looking at him with a weird expression.
"I-Is he dead?"
"Nope, but when he wakes up he'll wish he was."
"B-But what if he escapes." Kouta panicked.
"Ha, in the condition he's in it's more likely that God will descend from the heavens and grant him Unlimited Powwa!"
"What?"
"He's not getting up." Aiden comforted. "Now lets go meet up with the others."
"Are you just going to leave him here?"
"Yeah, its not like he's going anywhere." Picking Kouta up, he light-stepped into the air and disappeared into the distance.
[A/n: Anyone else feel like he enjoyed that a little too much?]

Slowing their fall speed, Aiden and Kouta saw a restless looking Aizawa running through the forest as if he was searching.
'Guess he encountered a villain as well.'
Kicking off a nearby tree, the duo landed in front of the frazzled teacher.
"Yo." Aiden casually greeted.
Hearing the familiar voice, Aizawa stopped in his tracks and carefully looked the two up and down.
"*Sigh* Thank god your safe. Did you encounter any other student on your way here?"
"Nope, didn't they all gather in the facility?"
Shaking his head, he quickly explained his encounter with Dabi and how the other students must be tied up at the moment.
"I see." Aiden nodded after getting a grasp on the situation.
'He didn't mention Bakugo or the League's objective... It's likely that he himself doesn't know.'
"Well I'm gonna go take a look around for a bit so do me a favor and take care of the kid."
"Wait what do you mea-"
Not giving him time to finish his sentence, Aiden chucked Kouta over to him and Light-stepped into the air.

Walking through the thick gas, Kendo and TetsuTetsu wore their gas masks and navigated through the area.
"There's something fishy about this gas. Doesn't it look like its flowing in a fixed direction?" Kendo noticed.
"Now that you mention it..."
"Compared to where we were previously, the gas here is visibly much denser."
"What are you getting at?"
Taking a minute to organize her thoughts, Kendo explained her theory. "I think this gas is swirling around a point of origin. Kind of like a typhoon. It would explain why the gas is getting thicker the deeper we venture into the forest."
"You mean we're approaching the thing making the gas?"
"Its only a speculation but, I think that's the case."
"Ha!" Punching his palm, a sharp smile emerged on his face. "Then all we have to do is bust that thing right? Leave it to me!" He grinned and forged ahead.
'*Sigh* Why am I always stuck with the hot headed ones?'
---
'What's with that purple gas?' Aiden wondered while looking down from the air.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
Arada
Arada So... It looks like a multiverse adventure is off the table until Aiden finishes in this world. But since I planned to follow the manga instead of the anime, God knows when that will be. If I start to catch up to quickly I'll have to give the multiverse adventure some serious thought.
