Ochako was forced to focus back to Mineta. She now remembered him, he spoke to her at the embassy. Under the guise of Ochita Sarani. On further reflection, the name was an obvious tell.

Fallen Farther... what a way to name yourself.

It was probably a joke from that Duchess over there.

"Laugh all you want, little lost boy, but it won't save you!" The violette called out, shocking them both. He swung a fist, which Ochako dodged. "Shocked I know your little secret?"

"Why is it that every dead person can just... tell Izuku exists here?" 

She was forced to dodge a flurry of blows as he replied. "Because we can all see your souls. We don't see like you do. And when I win, I'll tear your precious Izuku away... and then you'll be mine. Do you know what it's like that everyone else had looks or a powerful quirk? Well... now I have both, and it feels great!"

She grit her teeth as his attacks were faster and faster, eventually hitting her in the side of the head, knocking her to the ground. It was a surprise to the two of them that she was able to last that long, considering Viraleur weakened her just by existing near them.

Dazed, she coughed out blood as she tried to get to her feet. Exhausted, and in pain due to the disease wracking her body, she wanted to continue the fight, but Mineta grabbed the back of her head and pinned her to the ground roughly as he said, "You're friends with the Sweet Duchess' nemesis... so I'll let you watch..." He implied the worst, but that was because he didn't really want to hurt her. He wanted to break her spirit, so then she'd become nothing but a toy for him... but she knew Sebastian was much stronger than he knew.







The dark angel dodged to the side as the flamberge pierced where he was a second ago. They both knew that this weapon was her second choice, just because the first would never work on him. He's far too aware of who Selina really is to be susceptible to a knife in the back, after all. So, she'd take the pain of a flamberge's curving blade. It was designed to be hard to tear out, so getting hit would be the worst outcome. It was a dance between the two of them, dodging and attacking, switching from offense to defense, and back again. She used her heavier blade to make large, hard to dodge attacks, while Sebastian got in close, trying to take advantage of the blade's unwieldy nature. She enjoyed the endeavour, while he merely wanted to finish this quickly. But... it was clear that there was a distinct power difference. While she was not as skilled... Selina was powerful, and it showed. A flick of her wrist could launch him back with sheer force, even if he met the blade.

"Oh Sebastian, how I've missed our little forays..."

"You're sick, you know that?" He said, parrying a blow to the side before rushing. She countered it by saying, "Alright, but you're worse for even thinking of working with that thing." Selina was, of course, referring to Viraleur, who yawned in boredom. "Such... a childish... insult. You never... grew... up."

She, like Mineta, angrily flinched at that comment, but didn't respond. Sebastian smiled at that as their blades clashed yet again, "You don't like being called out?"

She countered, "Just like you to be so disrespectful, Sebastian. If any of your other uncles heard..."

"They'd respect me, because I mean what I say." He parried her blade up, and swung down, burying his sword deep into her shoulder. "The blade is just piercing your heart. I will let you go if you leave now, with your pet."

"Tsk..." She glanced over at Mineta, who still had Ochako pinned. "I think I have the stronger position. Two souls against one..."
"Nope, two sins for two souls." Sebastian immediately interrupted.

She didn't want to just watch. Speaking out, she said, "I'm not even involved in this... please..."

"Ha, you think your plea for mercy will..." She then hissed in pain as he slid the sword deeper in, annoyed.

Viraleur, however, walked between them, towards Ochako and Mineta. He didn't know of how much danger was rapidly approaching him. She squatted down, less than half a foot away from his face. She has to have perfect balance to not fall down with her arms behind her back like that.

Yeah... Izuku agreed, helpless to do anything but watch.

However, Mineta just saw a pretty girl. "Hey, if they kept you tied up..."
"Mineta, back away now!" Selina commanded, afraid for her leverage.

"Why? She's just a pretty..."

Viraleur laughed. A hearty, powerful laugh, full of sadistic intent. "You think... I'm pretty? Bless your simple... heart... but that's... not why she's... telling you to back away." She coughed into the mask, and then leaned closer. "You offer to free... what you do not understand... how adorable... I do want to be free... but you wouldn't want me to. She..." the deity looked down at her, before looking back up. "Has... been in my presence... for one day. Does she look... healthy... to you?"

Mineta actually looked at Ochako. Her breaths were ragged, she looked gaunt, and sleep deprived, even though she managed to catch a full night's sleep. A fever was starting to set in, and her veins were starting to darken.

"I am Viraleur... goddess of disease... and I have been charged to take her to father. If you are in my way... then I will remove you... personally. I can sense the e-coli in your gut, and could mutate them to become hostile, or the multiple STDs you have into something far... worse. The only reason they do not... affect you... is because of Selina's... meager influence..." She locked eyes with him. "Do you want me... to show how... helpless... she can be... by watching you die?"

With everyone's attention on Viraleur, Selina made a move, quickly ripping the blade out, she leapt onto Sebastian and plunged a hidden dagger right into his chest. Once she got him tied up with her power, she called to Mineta. "Let her go. She's diseased by it anyways. You'll have better pickings back at my palace."

"Yes... yes mistress." He backed away from the deity, and made his way toward her. Turning to Ochako, he smiled, anticipating a future meeting. She reached towards them, unable to call for Sebastian as he was carried away.

However, she soon faded to unconsciousness as Viraleur whispered, "Just sleep... you'll need it... Don't worry... I will uphold Death's orders... I promise..."
