Capítulo 54: Soul of Unity
Akane fought with the best of her abilities, but that just wasn't enough. She was helplessly outnumbered, cornered into a back alley, and all of them had a certain amount of experience with their teamwork, they were your typical gang. It didn't really help that she was quirkless and they were not.
Thanks to her echolocation she could dodge direct attacks that had mass, this didn't count for energy attacks though. She was hit by long range electro shock attacks, strange energy beams and state reversal quirks.
But she wouldn't buckle down, just because of that. Her eyes were on orange and purple mode, purple for the information of her enemies and orange to determine the best path to fight back.
"YOU PIECES OF SHIT! DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ME JUST BECAUSE I AM QUIRKLESS!"
Just because she was at a helplessly unfair disadvantage doesn't mean she is going to give up down because of that, who was Akane after all? She was the girl that despite everything made it so far in life, she was the girl that never knew when to give up, even when she destroyed her own body she kept moving on, hoping for the best, hoping everything would rebuild itself from the ashes left behind. Just like a phoenix.
Every inch of Akanes body screamed pain, but she kept on pushing forward. She dodged lightning fast attacks, punched steel hard objects and endured everything that was thrown at her. She didn't train her body this hard for nothing.
The thugs were a bit scared. They hit her more often than not, and they weren't just normal attacks. There were electro shocks that should have paralyzed her, poison that should have rendered her unmoving, gas that should have rendered her sleeping, coldness that should have frozen her stiff, even biological based attacks that should have made her every muscle scream in pain for moving them.
But Akane just didn't buckle down, she kept on moving, dodging, countering, throwing, punching, kicking, she even used some of their comrades as makeshift clubs.
Some of them were very confused seeing this. This girl was supposed to be quirkless. But what confused them even more was that everyone from the gang didn't have any external injuries, and even the supposed internal ones weren't visible from the outside.
Seeing how this girl kept on bulldozing the leader of the thugs had only one thought.
"Screw this shit, you didn't pay us enough for this kind of shit. We are out, deal with this shit yourself!"
"What? NO! Come on, we are two dozen of people and your gang can't immobilize her?"
"That's right, don't care about your payment, me and my gang are out."
And so, a bit than more of a dozen people walked away with him. Hakuchi was furious, but what could he do in this moment?
"Come on boys! It's just a blind and quirkless girl, I am sure she can't hold on for much longer!"
But reality was different, was the thing that Akane hoped, but sadly that jerk was right. Akane was tired, she was sure that some of her joins were a bit dislocated, some of her bones about to break, a couple of her muscles overpulled, a couple of internal bleedings and some light burns and frostbites.
Even most of her stamina was depleted. Akane was confused, angry and a bit depressed with this analysis of her body. She trained so hard, she trained way beyond the human limit, the limit of what a human body was supposed to do and yet she could only barely keep up with a few dozen of thugs that had absolute no professional training.
Akane was confused, based on her calculations her body should have been way stronger than it currently is, to be exact, it should have been seven times stronger, but look at her know. Weak and barely even able to retaliate, she hated it, she really wondered, did quirks really bring such a HUGE evolutionary advantage to a supposed quirkless? Was it really impossible to keep up? Can she really be a hero without a quirk?
Akane shook her head, even if, she won't give up, she can't give up, she doesn't want to give up. Her eyes glowed for a little bit. She is going to keep running forward proudly, doubt can't grow inside of her, because that would only grow a tree named 'giving up' and not any giving up, giving up without giving ones best.
She wiped away her blood from her lips and started to smile.
"Come at me, assholes! You aren't going to catch me with this attitude!"
And so, she threw herself into battle again.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Hakuchi was furious, just furious, so furious that he didn't even want to do anything to the girl in front of him anymore.
He and his right- and left-hand man were the only ones left standing. Well 'standing', his left was laying on his stomach, looking up to the girl that put him into this position, his right was kneeling and he was standing, holding the girl up with his right arm.
She breathed shallowly, was barely conscious and he was pretty sure that the red liquid that flowed from her forehead was blood. But she was conscious and obviously conscious about her surroundings. Hakuchi just wanted to use his quirk to torment her in the worst way possible.
"Hey bitch? You know what my quirk is?"
He said with a sadistic glee, he wasn't sure if she could hear him at this point but he didn't care.
"It's fire control. You know what this entails, right? Who am I talking to? Of course, you know! So, where should I put a new burn mark on you!"
He really meant that question serious, he couldn't really think straight, not with the 13 discombobulations he was put through thanks to the girl.
"How about inside her throat? You know? There are the vocal cords and what is an idol worth without their voice, right!"
He looked to his left, his left man pushed himself off the ground again and now was sitting exhaustedly there.
"Good idea, let's ruin her lifeline in life! Make her triple disabled! Imagine, quirkless, blind and mute! What kind of misery would that be! How about we make her deaf too! With that all the doors of her would be closed and she must live life as a leech for her family! But there is still her beauty left, if she would find a man that would even love and care for her with all these disabilities, she would still be able to live a proper life..."
"Burn mark on her face?"
Came from his right.
"No..."
Both of his followers looked confused at him, if not that, what else?
"Burn mark all over her body! No burn her entire body! But in a way she would still be living!"
He started to gleefully laugh at the prospect of ruining this girl's entire life after she just ruined his afternoon and early evening for him.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Akane was barely conscious, she was barely hanging in there, the only reason she stayed conscious was because she didn't want to be unconscious, so she was just that. Not unconscious.
She didn't really know what was going on around her, she only knew that she barely lost the battle, she was lifted up in the air and that (probably) the idiots were talking. She really hoped that they would leave as it was, she really hoped that she intimidated them enough to leave her alone.
Sadly, enough her hopes were left unanswered, they didn't leave her alone and talked about something. She shrugged mentally, they were just 14-year old's, what was the worst they can think off?
Hopefully they didn't think of killing her, they wouldn't be able to deal with the consequences. With the amount of time that passed it should already count as murder in court and she was sure that her mother should be able to blow this up into proportions so big, that they would have landed in Tartarus if they weren't adolescents and as that not fully punishable by law.
Akane was calm, until she heard the word. The word 'burn', just 'burn'. It scared her out of her mind, it was her memory of her first foster family, it was one of her first memories in life, she didn't remember why anymore, but after she apparently did something wrong her foster mother just burned her back as punishment, that was the first memory she clearly remembers.
One of her worst memories in life, the worst was that she didn't do that out of love to her, out of love to make her remember to never do that again, because it was a very bad thing to do. No, she did that out of gleeful joy, joy to see someone other than her suffer.
Akane started to panic as heat approached her, something primal awoke in her, a primal fear to run away, to run as far as possible, find allies and kill that particular thing. Akane flailed in panic with her broken body, she could clearly hear the sadistic laughter of the three boys, she could clearly see them through that, but she couldn't see the flame.
She only knew that is was approaching her with the raising heat, but she didn't know how far it was from her anymore, the hand of that jerk didn't help as well, he could control his flame through a bigger range!
Her feelings grew deeper and deeper into her, first hate, than fear and now despair. It felt like her body was paralyzed, she felt like she was unable to move with the feelings that threatened to drown her. Her eye colors changed rapidly between each of them and each combination of them, in the hope to find solutions, but she couldn't.
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, none of them, either alone or in tandem could think of a solution, not with the state she was in. With each cycle they grew paler and paler, even despair left Akane, her eyes, her very soul slowly grew paler and paler to a dull grey. Slowly Akane felt how her feelings left her, how her view to life slowly grew to a neutral approach, slowly grew to neutrality.
Neutrality, a trait that is frowned upon by all other traits, be it sins or virtues, it had no allies, simply because neutrality would be the one that never would make choices, it's the theoretical most powerful soul, simply because its true appearance would border on omni-nescience, absolute ignorance, denial of everything one can stand for, refusing to be anyone significant, refusing to do anything significant.
Her normally colorful eyes turned to a dull grey, the grey of a true blind person. She didn't care anymore, she didn't care about what would happen to her anymore, nor would she care about the entire world or universe anymore. She just stopped caring altogether, as if absolutely everything wasn't important anymore.
...
Time stood still for everything. Even for Akane. Her soul-flame that was threatened to be completely extinguished in her soul ocean, ignited. Her flame was compressed into a single point that was just the length of a Planck length and ignited the same way our very universe did, it ignited as a big bang, finally manifesting Akanes true soul.
Unity, finally her body didn't need to split her strength into seven equal parts anymore and tapped into her full strength. Her grey eyes immediately got their color back, they changed into an everchanging rainbow, they gradated back and forth between the colors, never staying on one of them. Even her pupils changed into a four-pointed star, just like one of Frisks SAVE points in the past. But the most important change was, that these eyes now reflected light back, Akane could see now and so she immediately put her new sense into action and beat the three friends within an inch of their life.
She first discombobulated the guy that was holding her, successfully discombobulating him, just to be sure that he stayed discombobulated she discombobulated his again, after that she stepped one step to the side and hit with the back of her hand in the face of the person that tried to ambush her without even looking at him.
The last person was terrified and wanted to crawl away, Akane just straight up kicked him in the balls for something like that. People that had no balls deserved no balls.
And at long last Hakuchi, again. He just recovered from being discombobulated, so he is going to see what is coming at him.
Akane cogged her fist back, sprinted at him, jumped up and...
(Sorry my dear readers, this scene isn't suited for people that exist or existed, so I have to omit it. ~Author-san)
As Akane finished a mosaic pattern was in front of her. No joke, the guy wasn't censored or anything, he was beaten into a mosaic.
Satisfied with her work Akane walked home without a care for the world. She could finally see and she is going to enjoy it, well.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at the Seigi residence:
Rumi, Fumio, Etsuko and Akasuki were currently busy trying to clean the house up to expectations, they didn't want to see the overworked Akane overwork herself even more than she already was.
"Any minute now! We have to work faster, before Akane arrives!"
And so, the four adults did, they cleaned faster. Too bad that just seven seconds after the announcement of that Akane arrived at home.
The adults turned around, ready to bring excuses, but they were surprised about the appearance of her.
She was bloody, her clothes were destroyed and she and looked as if she was about to keel over from her injuries. Fumio was about to faint from worry, as were the other adults to various degrees, but before they could run to her in panic, Akane just imposingly lifted each of her fingers on her right hand, beside the index finger.
"I would be a hypocrite if I complained about the state of the house with the state I am in, soo..."
She stretched her hand out, showing the adults a number with it.
"I'll give you 30 minutes cleaning this mess up, 30 minutes I myself need to clean myself up. You can ask questions after everything is in order again."
And so, she walked up the stairs to take a shower in the bathroom, but before she reached the second floor Akane stopped right before it.
"Oh, and mommy, you might need to prepare for a court session tomorrow."
With these words Akane disappeared into the second floor.

HopelessHikikomori
HopelessHikikomori Mystic Eyes of Soul Perception.
(Yes, the name is Nasuverse inspired)
Kind of not one of her wishes. Let's just say that the six human souls were revived with a body back then in Frisks universe, they died afterwards, but she couldn't let them go, so she stored all of them in her body.
So, the six souls were already in her body, before the universe was destroyed.
The wish was (with the demand of the six souls) for them all to merge into a new soul, the rainbow colored soul 'unity'.
More explanation about the 'unity' soul in the description of her abilities.
Who would have thought that 'special soul state' and 'color changing eyes' were the same aspect, eh?
