**Chapter 64: The Dark Encounter**

The darkness that had just engulfed Dabi had left an unsettling feeling in the air, and I couldn't help but wonder what had just happened. As we stood there, trying to process what had just occurred, I noticed that Kurofiri's eyes seemed to gleam with an otherworldly intensity in the fading light. "Dabi, are you okay?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. Dabi nodded, still looking a bit dazed. "Yeah, I think so. But what just happened? One minute I was walking, and the next...I was somewhere else." I exchanged a wary glance with the others. We all knew that Dabi's disappearance had something to do with his connection to the League of Villains, but I had a feeling that there was more to it than that. As if on cue, a dark, ominous laughter echoed through the air, sending shivers down my spine. The sound seemed to be coming from all around us, and I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end. Suddenly, the air seemed to distort and ripple, and Dabi vanished again. But this time, it wasn't just a simple disappearance. When the distortion cleared, Dabi was standing in front of a massive, ominous-looking gate. The gate was adorned with the symbol of the League of Villains, and I could feel a dark, malevolent energy emanating from it. Dabi looked around, taking in his surroundings, and his eyes widened in shock. "Where...where am I?" he stammered. I took a step forward, but Kurofiri's hand on my arm held me back. "Don't move," he whispered. "We don't know what's going on." But it was too late. Dabi's voice carried across the distance, echoing off the walls of the dark, foreboding structure behind him. "T...Tomura...?" The response was immediate. A figure emerged from the shadows, a twisted grin spreading across his face. "Dabi, my dear friend," Tomura Shigaraki said, his voice dripping with malice. "Welcome back." I felt a cold dread creeping up my spine as I realized that Dabi had been taken to the League of Villains' base. And I had a feeling that we were in grave danger.
