"Friends that get you, that see you, when others don't seem to."The words struck Shion right near the core of his insecurity, highlighting something he was trying to ignore. Though he felt like he "got" people he knew and why they acted in certain ways, that rarely seemed to be the case for others when they interacted with him. People saw the reflection of the sky upon the surface, but missed the darker shade of blue that lay below the mirror. The depths of the proverbial ocean that was Shion's hopes and fears, pride and regrets, white and black, yin and yang. . . was something that few had dove into. He didn't show it on the outside, but Callisto was perhaps knowingly prodding at the youth's problems with just a simple phrase about friendship. "Eh?"Toto would nestle comfortably under Claudio's embrace, their eyes still staring out towards the distance of the early morning mist. "Yeah, I trust them!"What came afterwards was a long pause, the look of discomfort growing clearer on Shion's face as he was forced to truly contemplate Callisto's question. The ocean that was the youth's being was beginning to churn, a whirlpool of uncertainly forming inside of him. "That's. . . hard. I'd know I have to do something about it, so they won't hurt innocent people by being evil- but that's also a friend. I don't know if I could hurt someone like that, even if it means to save someone else."It was only their first conversation, and Shion's naiveté allowed Callisto to peer right into his weakness when priorities conflicted. The ocean would be rocked by his storm of lightning, if he so wished.

As windows began melting into the walls around him, Shion continued to walk even though it stopped moving him forwards entirely. Despite the changes being entirely gradual, the change in scenery wasn't known to him until the surrounding had become unrecognizable.In his altered state of consciousness, he had not only entered a different world- but had become a different person entirely. ". . . !"What. . . a weird dream.
In my dream, I was a student on planet Terra-01 4,000 years ago. Long before we achieved radiation scrubbing technology and interspace travel.
But that's not who I really am.
That's right, I'm Shion Utsui. I work as a conductor for SpaceRail No. 3037. This has been my work for light-years, and it's going to stay that way.
I look towards my passengers on both sides, this time of the yuga all the Floricians are migrating across different home galaxies. All of them were ticketed in the beginning before the train set off, so checking wouldn't be necessary until later."Please ring the bell if any help is needed."I said to the passengers as I walked past them, feeling as if I was in one of those ancient things the ancestor race possessed known as "terrariums". It was a unique feeling of being both outdoors and indoors at the same time.
Making sure my gloves were on properly, I adjusted my cap and opened the door in front of me to inspect the next cart ahead.

In any timeline, it would have been impossible for Shion to have not noticed the cloud of vapor rising out of the artificial lake.Its shape didn't resemble the one in the orange canvas above, in fact, the tall, mushroom-like shape of Echiiro's creation was still a season too early. Maybe an apt comparison was that it was a quick watercolor as opposed to the oil paint that Shion saw in the sky.Nonetheless, the youth's head turned toward the source of the noise. He half-expected to be alone at this time, though that being wrong wasn't surprising to him- this area was a public space for students and faculty after all.His mouth curled into a light smile, winning over the wistful look that had been so dominant when only Toto was here."Heeeeh~ so he's the one who did it. Toto, can you see him?"The creature lifted itself upright, shuffling over to the ledge like a robotic vacuum would. Their eyes were barely above the small wall that separated the roof from thin air, which stared off towards the boy in the distance."Can't see his face huh. . . "Shion muttered, reaching into his pocket as his curiosity got the better of him. A little kit made of black plastic was taken into his fingers, before being pulled up and promptly opened. But it wasn't the skincare products inside that he was after- but rather the mirror on the lid.He lifted it up, allowing the setting sun to reflect its orange paint strokes towards the boy below. The small beacon would annoy Echiiro with a couple solar flashes, pestering him for attention.

[Now Playing: Psychotic Heartbeat]The harsh reality was that Shion's bluff had failed. His opponent was clearly stronger, and they were aware of that fact. As soon as that foot crossed the threshold, the youth's mind immediately went into overdrive. He wasn't the type to freeze when threatened.Shion knew that running away was the smarter choice. Ghouligan would take the lawyer as bait and leave him alone. If he stayed, he would lose in at around 98% of possible outcomes.But would a hero run away? If no one found out, their image would be saved. The dead lawyer would come up in the news as a simple murder, and no one would guess that Shion was even there to see it.It was that easy."Dummy."Shion said, clearly. More to himself than the mighty foe before him.Run away and for what? To betray what he believes in? What would be the point in fighting another day if he consciously made the choice to allow a murder to happen? No matter how low the chance, if there was a possibility of 1/100000 over nothing-He would take it.His heartbeat was the furthest it had ever been from calm right now. Cold sweat felt like it was covering him, and his legs felt noticeably weaker.But there was also the adrenaline. A life-or-death situation that pushed Shion's body to be more reactive and fidgety than ever."Hup!"Shion struck first.With a practiced split, he quickly lowered himself to the ground with Toto, holding onto him for dear life as the alien flew forward with their companion on top. They were aiming for Antoine's legs a few feet away, trying to ram into them like a bullet train full speed.

Ground Beta, an entire portion of Tokyo located within U.A.'s training facilities. It was a replica, of course. There were no people, or present traffic clogging the streets as they would in the actual city.But despite the city being fake, the sun that shown down onto it was the same one above Tokyo- its sunset seemed to be especially red today, the sky a harsh orange with streaks of tinted clouds forming natural patterns along the canvas. In Shion's eyes, it was like a dark grey paintbrush had left a great streak along the palette of orange."Hey. . . now that I think about it- why did I name you Toto?"The youth with feminine dress sat on the edge of the 5-story rooftop, eating a large anman as his friend lay prone next to him. Orange light bore down onto both of them, making Shion's hair look a deep shade of red, and Toto's whiskers gold.He looked towards the alien creature for an answer, but Toto gave no such thing. Those eyes simply stared dead into the orange sky, their fleshy body staying still as a plant."It'd be great if you could answer me- names are important."Shion took another bite, continuing the one-sided conversation with his mouth full.He chewed, savoring the sweet taste as his thoughts were forced to go in a more bitter direction. "Shion" was a name he never learned to appreciate- it was too similar to his sister's name. They always said they had named them both in that way because they were twins, his parents. But more than any other time in his life, now his own name only reminded him of Mion each time he was called.

Click click, clickety-click.More morse code."H-A-H-A N-0-0-B"Despite the apparent lack of personality in their day-to-day appearances with Shion, Toto appeared to identify as an absolute annoyance when with Jun.A warhammer was a heavy weapon, and for someone like Jun to swing something as heavy as that, it would have presumably taken more effort than for Toto to simply. . . move.And move they did, though probably in the worst way for the young heroine.Letting themselves be hit by the handle of the warhammer, right beneath the head, Toto's body suddenly went limp as their long body coiled around the firm steel. And what did the creature do next?Quickly slither down the handle towards Jun's arms!

It should have been clear from the beginning. Shion didn't even know why he tried communicating if the vigilante addressed him in English in the first place.Nothing about this was good. The lawyer behind him was still crippled and bleeding, and person who attempted murder couldn't understand a word he said.And as much as he wanted to help stop the bleeding or call the authorities, he was scared that taking his eyes off the masked man for a second could end in his neck being snapped.Gritting his teeth, Shion moved his arms swiftly and dragged Toto across the ground in front of him sideways, drawing a line in the ground that wasn't really there- but one Ghouligan would be able to understand."No. . . come- cross!"The youth said in broken English, unsure if what he said really meant what he was trying to communicate.Don't come over this line on the ground. That sentiment should have been clear, judging by how the alien broom was still held like a weapon by their companion.

Shion looked at Claudio as if he had just said the dumbest thing in the world."You know, private property's "private" for a reason. If a person own's that land, they kind of have a right to not have people trespassing on it."The cloud's ruse which Shion had inevitably started had him believing in all of it- hook, line, and sinker. Claudio trying to argue for the logic of trespassing not being harmful, immediately made him suspicious as to whether or not he really did come in without paying.Though, what he said next would seem to sap the situation of all possible tension when it came to legality. Shion leaned back and looked off to the side, pouting slightly."Buuut I'm not gonna rat you out. It's not every day I can meet someone like you."It seemed that if something matched his own agenda or benefitted him in some way, Shion was willing to give some victimless crimes a pass. Despite being for property rights, his moral code when it came to the law seemed to be relatively lenient. Arguably, he was just as guilty as Claudio for tolerating such actions."But anyways- think about it! If someone just breaks a small law like that and there's no consequence, it makes it look like breaking the law in general's completely fine!"Sitting back up, Shion put both hands onto the table in front Claudio and tried to put his words into a little picture made by his fingers playing a human jaywalking or vaulting a fence. It was definitely silly, but a way of illustrating the point he was trying to make.Following that moment, Claudio's words about intrusive thoughts and whether someone takes action or not- didn't seem to hit the mark that was Shion's cranium. The youth didn't get how that helped illustrate his point at all.In fact, he began suspecting that the cloud was just being pedantic for no reason. Not that he knew what "pedantic" even meant."Doing it makes all the difference! You're literally moving your body and stuff to change something that's real and not just in your head!"Shion pointed at Claudio directly while saying this, almost like he was accusing him of trespassing despite the lack of evidence.

Despite the storm sweeping through the city, it was a sunny day in this nook of Tokyo.
Besides, it was always raining someplace else.
Shion paced through the populated sidewalk, merely a face in the crowd as he absent-mindedly munched on a Meron-pan while looking at text messages on his phone. It was a day off for him where nothing in particular from school needed to be done, so he had taken his chance to go out for a walk through town.His thoughts wandered through many possible routes he could take as time went on. He could go to Ueno Park, maybe Akihabara or Nichoume to have fun, but another possible destination evaded his mind.Oh, of course! He'd definitely have to stop by Ms. Li's shop!"Stop that man!"The shout made Shion's head snap towards it's direction of origin as if it were spring-operated, his eyes filling with a need to find out what was going on. Sure, his plans to visit an old friend would have to be put on hold, but sometimes duty calls- even on your day off!"Come on, Toto!"He'd exclaim to the alien friend accompanying him with a determined smile, who immediately lowered themselves to the ground so Shion could hop on with a sick cartwheel just to show off a little. Their appendages spreading, the two took flight over the crowd of people- quickly catching up to the obvious man trying to push his way through the crowd. Pff, what an idiot- all that disguise does is make him stand out!Though, the odd lack of heroes in such a densely populated area was odd. There'd be several patrols usually, especially during the middle of the day like right now. "HOLD. IT. RIGHT. THEEEEEEEERE!!" Callisto would suddenly hear behind him as what couldn't be described as anything but a witch on a broomstick grabbed the fabric of his hoodie with one hand, switching gears to go towards the other direction. The criminal would be yanked backwards, into a tug-of-war that couldn't have come at a worse time for both of them.

A sensation similar to a static shock passed through Shion's neurons as Toto was whacked away, though all it did was make him realize a second late that the brick had been deflected towards the exact stranger he was trying to protect.It was almost funny how the gap in skill was a literal chasm between the two. Neither of his attacks even left a scratch on this man, and he did this all with. . . was that a pool cue? It wasn't even a proper weapon!The weird-looking alien creature returning to his side, cold sweat enveloped Shion as his gaze rested solidly on the vigilante. Screams of the injured lawyer reaching his ears from behind him, he was clearly deliberating on what kind of response was appropriate. Especially when Ghouligan's tone was so calm, almost casual."M-My identity's not important!"Toto clambered into his arms, straightening themselves out as Shion's hands grasped around their torso to wield them as a weapon, bracing it towards Antoine."Listen, I don't know who you are or who he is! All I'm doing is stopping a murder!"The youth with the magenta hair shouted from across the alleyway, trying to control his breathing between sentences since the worst thing he could do was appear afraid or agitated before a stronger opponent. This battle between them was mental as much as it was physical.And despite not fulfilling Antoine's desire to know his motivations, Shion shot back a question in return."Why were you trying to kill him? How would your parents feel if they knew you were doing this!"Despite the face being obscured by the mask, he could tell that this vigilante wasn't too far off in age from himself. Odds were likely that they had parents rather than not.Though, Shion thought so because he didn't know Antoine's story at all.
He knew nothing.

In the air, wind rushing past his ears endlessly as red hair came undone in the wind, Shion was making Toto go faster than he ever had before. To escape the falling debris and strikes of the great enemy. His eyes squinted as he willed his friend to carry him high into the air.Faster. . . faster.Then, as he reached a point of altitude above the giant everything seemed to change in a course of a few seconds. The boy with the foreign hairstyle that had accompanied Claudio, or "Kisai" to the site of battle, was promptly crushed underfoot. With open malice, the behemoth had effectively ended the life of a student as Shion understood it."Wha-"He suddenly felt sick to his stomach while seeing what couldn't be seen as anything but the death of his peer. Right- this was anything but a full-blown warzone. Casualties were expected, Shion knew this- yet why did it still paralyze him? As he was busy clasping both his hands around his mouth with a horrified expression, almost dropping his bag, the ground shifted. Emilia's second wind caused the goliath to tilt uncontrollably and fall, the impact shaking even Shion who was in the air. Forcing him to get a grip on the situation.He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, opening them to remember that the worst thing that could be done. . . was nothing. As long as he continued to act, despite the loss of life, more could be prevented! Every second counted!Grabbing one anti-tank explosive after another, Shion began dropping them onto the behemoth below, hitting whatever spots he could while circling above it to try and escape any incoming fire. In both his and Toto's eyes, the flames from the bombs going off reflected off them, flash after flash showing off an orange glow.Vrrrrr-But before more than 4 grenades could be dropped, the sound of Retsu's motorbike screeching off course and being crushed by the falling giant took Shion's attention away from the enemy.And there Retsu was, flying uncontrollably through the air with a look of bitter acceptance on her face. That of one who had seemingly accepted what fate was going to meet them soon."Toto, dive!"Unwilling to have another life lost, the youth abandoned their plans to go after the weaponsmith. The small dot that was Retsu became larger and larger to the alien and it's rider as they approached, their intention to make a collision being clear. "Brace yourself!"He screamed, knowing Toto couldn't carry more than a single person. The impact of Shion would be soft, though the one of Toto felt as hard as steel. If he successfully grabbed onto Retsu, all three of them would have had a rough landing on the cracked asphalt below. Though, rolling uncontrollably across concrete was preferable to losing one's life to falling.
TLDR: Shion witnesses what he thinks is Elijah's death and freezes, before throwing several bombs towards the downed enemy, noticing Retsu, and diving towards her to save their life.

The veil of night was darker than usual, or that's what Shion thought.Having been assigned no shifts to patrol the streets due to the system being unable to find him a suitable partner, the youth was on his own outing in the streets of Tokyo. Window shopping alone while also having a cup of hot cider on a bench in the park bench later on.Though, none of those actions really brought the type of joy Shion could look back on and feel happy about. If only there was someone to be with, someone assigned to him, someone he could actually stand.Someone.As he turned the corner to try and take off on Toto, not really feeling like walking across the streets alone any longer, the thought of being back in bed for training tomorrow was cut short by the whimpering of a human.". . . !"Four names. Shion could recall that one of them was played over the news some years ago, back when he was still with his family. A suspect of some kind that was ultimately let go.Well, he would have recalled if he knew the slightest hint of what the man with the pool cue was talking about. All Shion could focus on was the shock from witnessing what couldn't be described as anything but an execution that was about to happen.Quickly ducking behind the corner, he knew that he had to do something before the man would truly get a pool cue stuck through his cranium. Shion tried to regulate his breathing, knowing that he was getting himself into a fight that he could very well lose- as he knew next to about the vigilante he was about to confront.But just as he was about to resort to a hail-Mary and rush in on Toto, his magenta eyes landed on a certain object next to him, before Shion's spur-of-the-moment plan sprang into action.Whirrrr-A cracked brick shot through the air towards Antoine, the assailant clearly visible in the light emanating from the street meters away, before the short silhouette exclaimed."Toto! Get em'!"The alien creature, expressionless as always, shot diagonally upwards towards the black sky, spreading their feelers to imitate wings before diving down like a crashing UFO towards the vigilante's head.All that needed to happen was for Antoine to get away, or simply have his execution interrupted. Hoping that would happen, Shion would rush towards the two, attempting to grab the lawyer by the collar and wrench him away- shoving him towards the exit of the alleyway with all his might. To safety."Run! Get to the police station!"Shion didn't know this person, or what they had even done to incur the wrath of the man with the pool cue. But one thing that remained constant in his mind, was that such extrajudicial killing was wrong. For someone to get what they deserved, they needed to be put through due process in court.

Shion continued to look at Sadako with that innocent and approachable look of his, like the way the mental image of a baby deer would gaze towards someone daydreaming about hiking.But like when encountering the true visage of a deer, the next words from his mouth seemed to quiet all of the ambience that surrounded them both."It's their words. They're. . . nothing."Tinged with true concern, his expression gradually betrayed his true feelings of what others said.Disappointment."It's always words like "I want to be the strongest", "I want to be rich.", "I want to be famous.", and "I want people to love me"."Despite his friendliness, Shion purposefully avoided making friends with many of the people here due to this "silence". He couldn't understand why people in U.A. would think in that way- would a social worker or first responder be allowed in the public eye to chase glory like that?"Of course, Kupo-chan's not like that- He really cares about helping people! But Jack, he's. . . "He looked down to his lap with a look of dejection, seemingly not willing to finish that sentence. Whatever he had in mind to say, he clearly didn't want to say more.It was at this point that Toto, the expressionless alien, simply slid off Shion's lap and began to waddle towards the door behind him, past Sadako. They didn't attempt to open the door however, simply deciding to "sit" lethargically as a blob would."But. . . it's true. I feel this way. I don't get why you'd fixate on selfish stuff like that when that's not what a hero does- A hero. . . a hero should always have their mind set on helping others and bettering the society they're in, right Sadako-san?"

Like a spear to a hard, stone surface- Toto's attack was promptly stopped by Jun's shield. If Toto could feel any emotion, because they couldn't, it would have been something between awe and satisfaction. After having spent much of it's time attacking nonstop while being a presence dictated by Shion's quirk, it was finally about time that Jun's capabilities came into the picture. A shield. . . though it appeared to be rather small to serve as an entire quirk. But humans (and alien creatures) weren't made equal. What if this truly was all Jun was capable of? Toto would touch their brush-like legs on the ground, quickly spinning to send a sudden cloud of kicked-up dust towards Jun to make their next action unpredictable. As the pebbles clinked against her shield, Toto would then proceed to take flight, looping around the back to land a blow directly onto the girl's back.

[Now Playing: Burning Force!]For a second, there was a glimmer of hope within Shion's mind- a thought that maybe, the bomb for destroying armored vehicles had miraculously disabled a core component, whether mechanical or biological within the behemoth's head.A hope that just maybe, the terror was over.But that was all but crushed as the dust from the explosion he had caused blew past Shion, forcing him to squint his eyes as the view of the terrible foe became clearer.Still standing, now with its murderous intent clearly directed against everyone in the area. This revelation made determination resound through Shion's mind as "The Rumbling" repeated their words- resolute, calm yet undeniably hostile. Even though he had already thrown a single military-grade explosive at them, the youth still had a hope that they wouldn't have to resort to outright murder in order to stop them. But how could Shion think that when he had already drawn the proverbial sword, and swung it on top of that with the intention to kill?However, the cracks that formed on the giant's head was a clear indicator- the explosives were working to some extent, and enough of them would theoretically be able to stop this monstrosity. "Got it! Just let me get over there!"Retsu and Shion appeared to be on the same wavelength. Just as the latter was feeling the need for another anti-tank grenade, the unknown villain's hollering reached his chilled ears from the altitude. But he wasn't stupid. As it would be easy to just swoop down and get more grenades from Retsu, the two remaining golems getting in his way would certainly spell disaster if any of the bombs went off. Right, strategy. As hare-brained as Shion was, he still had object permanence and could establish cause and effect. If Toto's maneuvers were enough to disorient the golem closest to him for a certain amount of time, he'd be able to get a bargain-bag full of those sticky bombs in no time!Now with a plan in mind, Shion put on a determined smile and looked down to Toto. Having no idea that one of his classmates effectively had her life ended in the past 20 seconds.Toto looked back at Shion. Alien eyes glazed and expressionless as always."Counting on you, Toto! Go get em'!"Suddenly, he let go of his companion as his body was catapulted into the sky by Toto. The same alien creature that was now performing a nosedive towards the two golems, like a paper plane headed towards two bald school faculty members. Whether they hit them or not, the enemies would be forced to reckon with alien that was careening towards them with dead-set precision.Now free-falling, Shion's dull-colored eyes reflected the blue sky above him as he reached to his back, consuming himself in the sheer exhilaration of the moment, as his fingers wrapped around the handle of a cheap plastic broom.He needed to do this more often- feel the oneness of being in the sky. Falling with reckless abandon as the particles of air rushed past from beneath him."Toto, come!"But just as Toto was in the midst of the remaining golems, and Shion was 3 seconds away from hitting the ground- the alien disappeared, leaving behind an old broom that clattered to the ground amongst the confused foes.The broom in Shion's hand warped and twisted, suddenly coming alive as the hard plastic gave way to fleshy biomass that resembled that of sea creatures like starfish. A multitude of eyes came into existence at the broom's midsection, and the duo would once again be flying, only a few feet off the ground as one of Shion's shoes skidded against the asphalt. In a second swift movement, he tore open the bag that was also strapped to his side and dived towards Retsu, dragging the open satchel through her backpack to get as many explosives as possible in a drive-by pickup. "Thanks, lady!"He'd shout as he gained altitude with a small bag full of bombs, flying upwards with a big smile to rejoin Claudio in beating the absolute snot out of this monstrosity!
TLDR: Shion performs a risky maneuver by having Toto charge towards the remaining golems to distract them as he falls, using his backup broom at the last second to re-summon Toto to his location and grab a bag full of bombs from Retsu.
