Chapter Two - The Crow Rises
A year has passed since the tragic and brutal murders of Tokoyami and Jiro. Everyday since then, Yaoyorozu visits the grave and places a rose on both their graves. As she does so, a crow flies on top of Tokoyami's grave. She was puzzled at this.
Yaoyorozu: Hello?
The crow begins cawing while pecking at Tokoyami's grave. She decides to leave to head back home. When night fell, a storm occurred as the crow cawed. The ground began to shift when a hand rose from the grave. Eventually, Tokoyami digs himself out of the grave and screams in agony.
Tokoyami: AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!
As Tokoyami crawls away from the grave, he looks to the crow still cawing at him. Tokoyami has no recollection of what had happened.
Tokoyami: Where.....where am I......
The crow simply cawed and flew away. Tokoyami began to wander around town, not knowing where he was or who he was. After a brief time, he eventually entered his old apartment which had long since been abandoned. As he entered, he saw the crow perched on top of a dresser.
Tokoyami: What is the place? Where am I?
As Tokoyami searches the apartment, he sees a discarded knife. As he picks it up, a flashback occurs of when Toga stabbed him. Feeling the pain from that attack, he tosses the knife away. Flashbacks soon poured in his head on what happened.
Jiro(Flashback): Fumikage? What's going.....
Tokoyami then remembers the horror and tragedy of what had happened. He began flailing his body around the apartment, as if he were reenacting the events on that fateful day. He remembered being beaten, shot in the head and left to watch helplessly as his fiance was gang raped and beaten by Shigaraki and his gang while Toga trashed the apartment.
Tokoyami: Kyoka.....Kyoka no.....No!!!!!!
Tokoyami let out a scream of anguish as he mourns the loss of his wife. He soon looked to the crow still perched on the dresser.
Tokoyami: Why am I here? Why.....
The crow simply caws. Unable to understand, he walks to the desk. As he searches through the desk, Tokoyami finds a photograph of himself and Jiro in a tender moment. Tokoyami had his arms wrapped around Jiro while resting his head next to hers.
Tokoyami: Kyoka....
As Tokoyami picked up the photo, he has a flashback to the moment before taking that photo. Tokoyami and Jiro were laying on a couch, looking forward to their wedding.
Jiro: I love you Fumikage.....
Tokoyami: Say it again.
Jiro: I love you.
Tokoyami kissed Jiro in the neck. Afterward, Jiro reached for the camera.
Jiro: Say cheese!
Jiro and Tokoyami posed for the camera as took the picture. The photo soon came out as Jiro shook it. When the photo formed, Tokoyami smiled.
Tokoyami: You're so beautiful.....
Flashbacks soon poured into Tokoyami's memory of all the tender moments he shared with Jiro. From their days with their band to the day of his proposal. All those moments were taken away from him by Shigaraki and his gang.
Tokoyami: Kyoka....
Tokoyami then gazed into the mirror in front of him. Intense feelings of rage and sorrow began to engulf Tokoyami. The emotions in his mind was so intense that he punched the mirror. The glass shards of the mirror cut his hand. Tokoyami looked at his bloody hand and saw the cuts healing instantly.
Tokoyami: What the hell.....
As his wounds healed, he could hear the names of those responsible for the rape and murder of his beloved Kyoka.
Tokoyami: Muscular.....Toga.....Dabi....Shigaraki....
As Tokoyami said Shigaraki's name, Tokoyami's sorrow turned to an indescribable rage. It was Shigaraki that took everything away from him. It was Shigaraki that stole his one chance at happiness. It was Shigaraki who raped and murdered Jiro.
Tokoyami: Shigaraki.....SHIGARAKI!
Tokoyami screamed that name to the heavens in agonizing rage. The love he felt for Jiro was denied by a cruel act from a cruel world. As Tokoyami vowed terrible vengeance, he painted his face white to resemble a clown mask he used to scare Jiro one time. Tokoyami would turn his despair and rage onto Shigaraki and his gang.
Tokoyami: Shigaraki.....I'm coming for you......
As Tokoyami swore his vengeance, Shigaraki was speaking with his gang at their hideout.
Muscular: So what's the plan for today Shigaraki?
Shigaraki: Simple. Raise hell. Kill any who cross us.
Muscular lets out a hearty laugh. Toga begins skipping around.
Toga: I can't wait to have fun again! I'm so excited!
Shigaraki: This town has gotten too comfortable. I think it's time to give them a reminder of why we're here. We are agents of chaos and disorder!
Dabi simply drinks from a bottle of liquor. He really didn't care about what Shigaraki was saying. He didn't really care about much of anything. He only went along with this because there was nothing else for Dabi to do.
Dabi: What are we waiting for? We doing this or what?
Shigaraki: Then let's go.
After that, Shigaraki and his gang exited their hideout to spread their brand of chaos. Unbeknownst to them, they were being watched by the crow. The crow lets out a caw as he flies away from the gang. The crow soon returned to the abandoned apartment and cawed to Tokoyami.
Tokoyami: So it begins.....
In the moment, Tokoyami leapt from the window of his apartment and began free running through the city. This was where it began. This was where Tokoyami's journey of vengeance would begin. Tokoyami would not stop until he avenged both Jiro and himself. Shigaraki and his gang would die one way or another.
