It was a very sad day for the U.A school

for students

for teachers

for parents

it was raining

which was fitting

it reflected the sorrow and heartbreak of their loss

a student by the name of tokoyami fumikage

had died

a patrol mission

an explosion

had taken away the life of this poor boy that had barely begun to live his life

a hero was what he was training for

but his training was brought to a sudden abrupt stop

but in death, his body was given a hero's burying

in respect and admiration, he was lowered into the ground

"revelry in the dark, tokoyami" everyone saluted as they began to leave in tears

but as the hours passed only 4 figures stayed

"This..this cant be it" cried shoji, looking at the grave which displayed his friend's name, the date of his birth to his death, a RIP at the top and a small quote saying "revelry in the dark"

(he would forever be known for that phrase) he thought

"for someone to be taken away this fast, it's too cruel" growled Jiro, holding black and purple roses in her hands

"We have to do something" midoriya exclaimed, never-ending tears flowing down his cheeks

"there's nothing we can do" sighed asui

silence flowed through the graveyard

before a trudging noise snapped everyone out of their thoughts

shoji had a shovel within his arms and started walking over to the grave

"shoji! what are you doing" shouted Jiro, running to the bigger male and tried to snatch the shovel out of his grasp before he could start digging

"This can not be how it ends! We need to bring him back!" shoji shouted, pushing Jiro away

and he began to dig

"how! he's dead! there's nothing that can bring back the dead!" asui shouted as she tried to use her tongue to take away the shovel, midoriya trying to shove shoji away

but shoji used his hands to stop them instead

"There's one last thing I need to try!" he exclaimed

the shovel hitting the surface of the coffin

"What is that?" asked midoriya

"it will sound crazy, but I need to do this, I need to see him one last time!" shoji said as he used all his arms to take the coffin out the grave

that's when he began to run with the coffin in hands

the four following close, giving up on stopping him but to see what he was planning on doing with the deceased body of their friend

they were lead to a small alleyway that leads to rented garages

shoji took the key that instantly opened the garage

but what was inside of it was something of a horror movie

a pentagram was displayed on the floor with new candles

the room was dimly lit with purple lights

"sho..shoji...what is this?" asui asked worriedly, looking around

"my last chance" he responded

"how long have you been doing this?" asked midoriya worriedly, not able to tare his eyes of his friends face, it was so full of determination and desperation

"ever since I heard of fumikages passing, I couldn't let it end like this" shoji said as he placed the full coffin to the side

opening the coffin, they saw that their friends deteriorating had already begun to show

his flesh began to turn purple fall and parts started to fall inside itself creating holes as well as his left eyeball seemed to be popping out of his socket

but yet his feathers continued to look as pristine as ever

carefully and tearfully shoji carried his friend's body towards the middle of the pentagram, placing him in the middle

Jiro, midoriya and asui tried to be supportive of their friend's obvious grieving and lit the lights around the circle

shoji turned the purple lights of and produced a small knife

"wait for shoji!" exclaimed Jiro worried for her friend's safety but he generated an extra limb which he instantly cut, spreading the blood over his dead friend's corpse

and standing back they waited to see what would happen

after 1 full hour, making the time 12:00, midnight, the three figures tried to convince their octopus-like friend that nothing was going to happen in the most caring way

but a sudden red light caused them all to gasp in shock and astoundment

there floating in the middle of the room was their not so dead friend

tokoyami fumikage

but his physical appearance stayed the same

and his eyes had disappeared and replaced with two warm glowing orbs

"tokoyami! you're back" cried shoji as he approached the floating figure

"yes shoji, but I can't stay" tokoyami responded a sad yet happy expression placed on his face

"but, why not, you can still be a hero, you can still live, with us, with me" shoji cried in confusion

"shoji, I'm deteriorating, I can't live like this, I wish that I could stay, become a hero of the night and celebrate everything with you all" tokoyami began to explain as he opened his arms to indicate the other three figures

"but...my time has come and I must leave you all, but I will always be in you're hearts and watch you from the darkness of the night," tokoyami said as his body began to glow brighter

"no, please don't go" cried shoji as he tried to run towards the body of tokoyami

"I love you all" tokoyami finished as his body erupted into flames, covering his body in the shape of a phoenix

"NOOOOOO" screamed shoji as dust scattered the room

all at that point was hold onto each other

and cry together

the four figures solemnly walked back to where the adventure began

replacing a now empty coffin to an empty grave and returned to school

shoji returned to his empty bedroom and lied onto his bed in silence

only to feel a piece of paper on his pillow

it was an envelope addressed to him

opening it

he couldn't stop the tears flowing down his still damp cheeks

and yet a small smile appeared on his hidden face

dear my beloved shoji

I'm sorry our meeting was short, but I couldn't stay, I was missing an eye and had holes in my body for crying out loud

but what I said was true, I will always be with you

and I hope that in the very late future we can meet again

I love you shoji and I will never stop loving you

but please live your life and become a great hero like I know you will be

like a phoenix, you will rise to glory

see you in the next life

tokoyami fumikage

"I will never forget you, my love"
