Intro
Jerren stepped forward, wearing the uniform of the galactic union. he nodded, 'hello, I am Jerren, one of the two main characters in this story. my partner Lazuli and I fight against a great threat that threatens all twelve of the universes. for this reason, we are looking for help.'
android 18 stepped forward, 'I am Lazuli, partner of this fool. in our war effort against the mentioned threat, we are looking for those who are strong, capable fighters who can aid us in our fight. for this reason we have been send to a planet to scout for recruits.'
me: "I am here typing this story, having a great time, typing fun scenarios and action scenes. I am glad the commissions keep coming and I can continue the story, for I have really become interested in it and wonder what I may write next. let's find out together okay."
U. A. Academy
two space pods fly through space, heading toward the planet known as Earth. Each space pod held one person, one a man, the other a woman. The man had messy black hair and an equally messy ponytail, having dark eyes and wearing a uniform of the Galactic Union. His name; Jerren. The woman was blond, her hair straight and reaching her shoulders, had blue eyes, had a well endowed body and also wore a similar uniform. Her name; Lazuli.
Because of a war, that had been going on for four years, they had been send to planet Earth to find strong warriors to join their cause. It had taken them some time, traveling from the Galactic Union HQ to Earth, they had stopped at some planets for food, but now, they were finally at their destination; their mission could begin.
Their space pods landed near two bigs cities. One; Tokyo. The other, which was closer; Musutafu. And, according to their planetary scan, they had landed in a land known as; Japan. They were close enough to Musutafu to take action from here, while being far away enough to not be noticed immediately. As they stepped out of their pods, both of them did some stretches. While the seats in their pods were comfortable and they could speak to each other over the radio, sitting for almost the entire day made both of them somewhat stiff.
Lazuli turned her neck somewhat, making Jerren wonder, 'do Androids also get stiff muscles?' she looked at him, her gaze calm and cool, but not threatening and cold, before she answered him, 'I used to be a human before I was modified. So yes, I still have muscles, and yes, they can get stiff. Now focus Jerren. We have to set up our base.' he nodded looked around over the grassy landscape where they had landed, before starting to walk, taking measurements with his steps, walking in a square, before nodding, 'okay, this should be enough space.'
having said that, he stepped away from the square, while Lazuli pulled a capsule from her pocket, pressed it and tossed it at the square. In a soft explosion which created a lot of smoke, a house appeared, with a garage on the side. Jerren smiled and opened the garage, while Lazuli picked up both their pods and carried them inside, before walking to the front door, while Jerren closed and locked the garage door, before following Lazuli into their house.
It was a house of normal size, easily fitting two people. It had a living room, a kitchen, a dining room, a bathroom and two bedrooms, that also had wardrobes. Lazuli walked to the living room table, where a laptop stood ready. She activated it and started doing research. Of course, they had done some research before being send and while they had been on their way, but there was still more work to do. And while she did that, Jerren walked to the garage from the inside of the house and took the food that was still in their space pods and carried it over to the kitchen, putting some of it in the fridge and other things in the counter.
As he looked at his partner, who was looking very focused at the screen, 'something interesting Lazuli?' she nodded, 'yup. Take a look!' she turned the screen around and showed him; female clothing! He nearly dropped on the ground, before looking at her with a frown, 'is that really important to the mission?' she nodded, 'of course! We need to know what we must dress like on this planet to not stand out too much! Luckily most people look humanoid, though from what I see, some people have very unique forms. Luckily; not all of them, so we should be fine.'
he nodded, 'that's good than. And with HQ having packed clothes for this mission, you should have everything you need for this mission, to not stand out. Anything I should be aware of for clothing?' she looked over a few more sites. HQ had provided them with an upgraded laptop that was both connected to their system and the Earth's Internet. She found some sites with male clothing and showed it to Jerren.
After this, both of them walked to their bedrooms and switched out of their uniforms and into the clothing the Galactic Union had provided for them. Lazuli wore a white shirt with thin black stripes, a black sleeveless top over that, blue pants and a belt and brown boots, while Jerren dressed in a brown shirt, black pants and black boots. Having finished getting dressed, Lazuli stepped into the kitchen, preparing dinner, while Jerren turned on the TV, checking out the news. Having heard about the Quirks on this planet, there might be some people, Heroes, who would join their cause. Though; they had to make sure to not catch the eye of villains.
As Lazuli finished cooking, the two discussed their plan moving forward on what they would do tomorrow. Having done their research, they knew the best heroes in training went to U.A. Which was located in Musutafu, where they were close to. Having used some high grade Galactic Union tech, they had hacked the system, making themselves out to be exchange students, set to arrive tomorrow. While adults, they could still pass for high schoolers if they wanted to. Tomorrow; would be their first day of school.
{the next morning}
At U.A. mister Aizawa stood before the 20 students of class 1-A with his usual tired appearance and messy unkempt appearance. He scratched behind his head, while Iida raised his right in a straight tight motion, 'mister Aizawa, good morning sir! Might I ask why there are two extra desks and chairs in our classroom?'
mister Aizawa looked at him, 'well, that was what I wanted to begin with. Thanks for pointing it out Iida. Today your class will receive two transfer students from America, who will stay with us for a while. For the time they're here, treat them the same as you would any of your classmates. Okay, you two may come in now.'
Lazuli opened the door and walked in, followed by Jerren, both of them wearing the U.A. uniform, both walking in with confidence. Sero, Kaminari and Mineta were happy to see a new girl join their class, while on the girls side, Ashido and Hagakure, though the latter had trouble showing it, were excited to see Jerren. The two both wrote their names on the blackboard and introduced themselves, before mister Aizawa cut things short, 'okay, they know your names now. You two can take your seats in the back of the class. Homeroom's about to begin. You can talk with everyone during lunch and after school!'
the two nodded and took their seats, taking out their books and studying alongside the others, while also taking a look at their classmates, some of who also looked back at them with smiles. Though the boy with red and white hair kept a calm look on his face, similar to Lazuli, while the boy with spiky blond hair kept a continuous scowl on his face and he didn't look back at them even once.
As their first class came to an end, mister Aizawa opened the classroom door, 'okay, I know you have a free period now, but I would like all of you to come with me, outside, so we can see what our two new students can do with their quirks.' Iida stood up straight, while also raising his hand, 'mister Aizawa! Does that mean they'll also have to perform the physical quirk assessment test?' mister Aizawa nodded, 'indeed. Okay, Lazuli, Jerren, put on your gym uniforms and come outside. Midoriya, Uraraka, you two show them where they have to go.' the two mentioned students stood up and agreed.
After they had gotten dressed, they followed the two students that had been assigned to them and walked outside, where the rest of the class and mister Aizawa were waiting. There was indeed a sport field made there and mister Aizawa had a list of 8 tests, which they had to perform; 50 meter dash, grip strength, standing long jump, repeated side steps, ball throw, distance run, sit ups and seated toe touch. Testing strength, speed and flexibility, but also how they applied their quirks. Not that they had quirks, but they could use their abilities as quirks.
Both of them already knew they would have to hold back, to not stand out because of monstrously powerful quirks, but luckily they didn't have to hold back too much either. So, with the 50 meter dash, Lazuli finished in 3.5 seconds, Jerren finished in 2 seconds, while streaming some visible ki through his body, to show he was using his power. And by this strong opening, they surprised and impressed many people.
With grip strength, both of them scored in between 250 and 300 kilo, with Jerren again taking the higher score. With the standing long jump, Lazuli got a score of 50 meter, without flying. And Jerren managed 52 meter. In repeated side to side steps, in one minute of time, Jerren got a 150 steps and Lazuli got 160. with the ball throw, Lazuli threw it a 1000 meter and Jerren threw it 1200 meter. They both scored a good time in the distance run, got a high number in the sit ups and Lazuli managed to stretch further with the seated toe touch. In the end, both of them had gotten great scores, impressing both teacher and students.
After this, they went back to their classroom to spend their free period studying,... or so they should have done. Several students left their desks and came to introduce themselves to Jerren and Lazuli. This way, the two of them got to know everybody in the class. While not everyone came to meet them, some talked from a distance and others that came to them introduced the ones who didn't come to them.
Aoyama, a pretty boy who tried to talk with a french accent, he could shoot a laser from his bellybutton. Ashido, the pink girl with horns who could shoot acid from her hands, she had quite the happy and bubbly personality. Asui, a friendly girl with long green hair and a quirk that gave her the abilities of a frog. Iida, the class rep, with a strict follow the rules personality and a quirk that increased his speed. Uraraka, a sweet girl who was quick to befriend them and could make things float.
Ojiro, a kind boy who had a strong tail. Kaminari, an active boy with an electricity quirk that could short circuit his brain if he overused it. Kirishima, a gung ho personality combined with a rock skin quirk. Koda, a shy boy who rarely speaks, but his quirk allows him to talk to animals. Sato, a strong young man who gets stronger from eating sweets.
Shoji, biggest student in the class, standing out with his six tentacle arms. Jiro, a punk rock girl with a quirk that allows her to hear well, but also channel her heartbeat through the jacks hanging from her earlobes. Sero, a boy with a big smile and positive outlook, able to shoot tape from his elbows. Tokoyami, having the head of a beard and the ability to let out a tangible shadow that can fight for him. Todoroki, mister popular in the class, a cold and calm personality and a double and powerful quirk.
Hagakure, a friendly girl who's invisible, only seen by her clothes. Bakugo, a fiery hot head with an explosive temper and quirk. Midoriya, a kind boy who's interested in all quirks, having one himself that increases his physical abilities. Mineta, the smallest person in the class, a giant pervert, having a quirk that allows him to pop the balls off of his head, making them stick to anything but him. Yaoyorozu, smartest girl in the class with a lady like upbringing, able to produce any kind of matter from her body, so long as she knows the composition.
As school ended, the two were leaving the school, talking amongst themselves. The students they had met so far hadn't been too impressive. But, some did have the potential to help them in the war.
As they left the school grounds, Jerren bumped into a slender girl with long green hair, wearing a pink outfit. He cleared his throat and stepped back, 'oh, I am so sorry. I didn't see you there. Are you alright?' she looked back at him, having shining blue eyes and she smiled she had long green hair and wore a pink dress. The two girls behind her, a girl with purple hair, glasses, a white hat and a yellow poncho and a girl with brown hair and eyes, wearing a blue dress, also smiled.
She too up straight, still smiling, 'oh, no worries dear, I am fine. But hey, look at you. A big strong guy, who goes to U.A. Hoping to become a hero.' Jerren nodded, playing his role, 'yes indeed. But it's only my first year. I still have a long way to go before I can call myself a hero miss.' the green haired girl chuckled, 'oh, you can call me Brianne. And to me, you already are one. Seeing as I feel completely safe in your presence.' Jerren smiled and even blushed somewhat, while Lazuli rolled her eyes and looked the other way. The girl named Brianne noticed the action though, 'what? You got a problem with what I said? Or are you just jealous of his heroic skills, knowing you'll never match up to them?'
Lazuli looked back at the green haired girl, before looking at Jerren, 'let's go. We have more important things to do than flirt with pink and green clouds of fluff.' Jerren nodded and quickly followed Lazuli, neither of them seeing the dark glare that Brianne shot at their backs. She looked at the two girls behind her, 'Sanka Ku, Su Roas, it looks like we might have to teach someone a lesson.'
As the two of them got home, they quickly knocked back the homework they had gotten at school, before refocusing on their mission; finding strong allies. During the entire day, while they had sensed people with the potential to help them, they hadn't sensed anyone in the school strong enough to help them in their war, this included the teachers. But, maybe, someone was able to suppress their power. But, maybe they should also look beyond the potential heroes, potential candidates, in the school. And look more at the heroes who patrolled the streets in the cities, when they had the chance. Than they might run into someone who's really powerful, capable and willing to help them. But until than, they would remain in the school, following their mission.
Day 2: the kamakazie fighters
as Jerren and Lazuli woke up the next morning, they quickly got out of bed, prepared and ate breakfast, read their textbooks for school again, so they were caught up to where the class was currently at with studying. After quickly eating breakfast, they left their house, locked it up and activated the alarms and counter measures against burglars and possible enemy attacks.
But, as they arrived on school grounds, they ran into three familiar faces; Brianne, Sanka Ku and Su Roas, but this time all three of them wore U.A. uniforms. When Brianne saw them and the surprise on their faces, she smiled, 'what, didn't you know; the three of us have been going to U.A. for a month now. We're students in class 1-b. So, don't be so surprised when you run into us again. But, now that I am talking to you again, I don't think I caught your name yesterday.'
Jerren cleared his throat, 'my name is Jerren. But, why were you in normal clothing yesterday, while there was school?' Lazuli had barely said, 'and I am,...' when she got interrupted by Brianne, 'oh, Jerren, that's a cool name. As for yesterday, class 1-b had a small field trip where we could wear our normal clothes. So when you saw us, we returned to get a few things we had left at school. Well, I guess I will be seeing you Jerren. Let's go girls.' Lazuli shot a cold look at Brianne's back, not liking how she was being ignored, before stating, 'since you asked, whether you wanted to know or not; my name is Lazuli. Not a pleasure to meet you.' Brianne froze in her step and slowly looked back with a menacing cold glare. And while some other students were shocked to see her with that expression, Jerren and Lazuli simply took it, though it was a look aimed at her and not him.
As Brianne looked forward again and walked into the school, Jerren and Lazuli also walked into the school, though somewhat slower than her. And while changing their shoes and walking to their classroom, they discussed about sensing strong targets in this school. Yesterday they didn't have much time to do that and as today they would once again have to study, they would need to either do several quick scans or take their time and analyze anyone and everyone in this school, so they could find possible warriors who could aid them, but also would aid them.
As they got to class 1-a, they took their seats in the back of the class and a little later, as all the other students had also entered the classroom, the teacher entered and the normal classes began. During these classes, as they were easy enough for them to keep up with, they could sense the other students and try to find someone who had either the power or the potential to help them.
After the normal classes were over, there was a free period, before the lunch break. Some students used this to get an early start on Lunch-Rush's food, while others used it to do some of the homework they had already gotten and continued studying, while others simply talked with each other. Jerren and Lazuli used this time to walk through the school, get more familiar with the layout of the school, as well as finally get a chance to scan the school for some strong people.
But, just as they were done exploring the entire building, not having had all students yet, as they returned to class 1-a, they ran into a certain trio of girls; again. Brianne, Sanka Ku and Su Roas, all of them with a smile on their face as they walked toward the two of them. Or, more specifically; Jerren. As they reached him, the three surrounded him and started complimenting him while standing very close to him, asking him about his quirk and being excited about just about everything about him. Lazuli was pretty much ignored and she was getting rather annoyed, by the girls flirting and Jerren not stopping them. But, just as she wanted to step in, get the three of them off of him, when the lunch bell rung.
A group of students which had used the free period for studying, now came out for lunch. Momo Yoayorozu, Kirishima, Kaminari, Ashido and Kyouka Jirou. As Momo saw them, she smiled, 'ah, you're back. And just in time for lunch. Won't you join us?' Lazuli nodded, 'we would love to. Let's go Jerren.' Jerren nodded, muttered a goodbye to Brianne and her friends and followed Lazuli, Momo and the group to the cafeteria.
Brianne looked at Lazuli as she left, speaking to her friends, 'I don't know what her deal is! Maybe she likes Jerren and gets jealous of us, or she just doesn't want anyone hanging around a childhood friend of hers. But she'll find out that crossing me is the wrong move!' Su Roas and Sanka Ku smiled behind her, as Sanka Ku asked, 'so, as we planned?' Brianne nodded, with a slightly sinister smile on her face.
In the cafeteria it was as busy as usual, as Lunch-Rush's food was restaurant level stuff, so many students wanted to eat it. But waiting in line to get your desired food was well worth the wait. Lazuli, while in line, looked around at other students, sometimes looking a little longer and sensing a student's power. As she looked over her shoulder, she saw Jerren was somewhat spacing out and looking at the cafeteria entrance and smiling and lightly raising his hand to wave, as Brianne and her friends entered. Lazuli elbowed him in his stomach, 'could you stay focused?!' Jerren rubbed his stomach and, like her, while moving forward in line, step by step, also started sensing the abilities of the students here. Kyouka Jirou, who stood behind them, narrowed her eyes as she looked at them. At first she had thought Lazuli might have lost something and was searching for it. But with her elbowing Jerren and him doing the same as her,... was he helping her search? Or was something else going on? She found these two rather suspicious. And with what she had seen of their abilities, she found it hard to believe that these two were only first years.
As Lazuli got her food and turned to join Momo, Ashido, Kirishima and Kaminari at their table, she bumped into Brianne, who had approached her, or more accurately; Jerren, from behind. The two women exchanged a look of contempt and Brianne simply replied, 'watch where you're going.' this got Lazuli's full attention and as she shot a dirty look at Brianne as she stepped closer to Jerren and asked what he was getting, so she could get it too, she didn't see Sanka Ku pouring something over her food.
Lazuli sat down with her classmates and was soon joined by Jerren and she shot him a chilling cold look, which slightly scared him. He took a deep breath and sighed, before leaning over to her, whispering, 'don't worry Lazuli. Let those girls have their fun. I haven't forgotten our mission.' she nodded and her coldness started to thaw. None of the others had heard what they had said, but Jirou gave them a suspicious look, while Momo asked, 'something wrong?' Lazuli shook her head and managed a smile, 'no, nothing is wrong. Jerren just said he wished he had gotten what I ordered.'
Kaminari grinned, 'well, don't worry about it man. Lunch-Rush's food is amazing. Even if you want something else, any meal he makes tastes incredible.' Jerren grinned, 'I'll take you word for it, man. From our lunch yesterday and today's meal, I also wish we had someone like Lunch-Rush at our old school. What about you Lazuli?' she nodded and, as the entire group gave their thanks for the food, they started eating.
It started small at first. A light tingling, a sensation she had to go to the bathroom. But Lazuli ignored it. She could go later, after she had finished her lunch. But, as she continued eating, the sensation grew stronger and stronger, until it was an unnatural feeling. She hunched over, pressing her arms against her stomach and her belly, before standing up. As the others looked up at her sudden action, she told them; 'bathroom.' before she ran.
As she ran, she saw Brianne, Sanka Ku and Su Roas pointing at her and laughing, while seemingly congratulating themselves. Lazuli didn't ignore them and finally reached the bathroom. But, having seen what she had and thinking about Brianne her actions; why had she been the only one who had walked passed her before and not her two lackeys? Those two had only followed after Brianne after Lazuli had stopped looking at her; meaning they had stood behind her.
Her sudden need to go to the bathroom, those three girls laughing about it; a laxative! And a strong one at that. And, with her having eaten quite a bit of it; she really needed to go. But she wouldn't! She wouldn't let that Brianne have her way with her, Lazuli. And, as she was now unseen, she could use something other than what people perceived to be her quirk. While Jerren used his ki as his quirk; she could use ki as well.
Focusing inward, sensing what belong in her and what didn't, she isolated the affecting agent; the laxative and started burning it away with her ki. This was precise and delicate work and took a lot of concentration. But, after twelve minutes of focusing and attacking her insides, while holding back the urge to go, she finally finished destroying the laxative, while also having cleaned her bowels for good measure to prevent herself from needing to go. She wouldn't give Brianne that satisfaction.
As Lazuli returned to the cafeteria, she saw Kirishima, Momo, Kaminari, Jirou and Ashido at the table, but Jerren was gone. And, as she looked around, she noticed that Brianne and her friends were gone too. Irritated she stepped back to the table, grabbing her plate of food and tossing in the garbage, before looking at her classmates, who seemed surprised at her actions, before she asked, 'is Jerren with that green haired girl and her laxative carrying friends?!'
Momo nodded, 'yes, she said she would like to see if there was any difference in the classrooms of 1-a and 1-b. Wait; laxative? They put that in your food? And that's why you had to go?' Lazuli nodded and headed back to class 1-a and as she stepped inside, Jerren sat at his desk, while Brianne sat in his lap, while Sanka Ku and Su Roas were both massaging one of his shoulders.
Midoriya was blushing as he looked at this and Mineta looked completely jealous, while Bakugo looked away, annoyed as always. Others seemed either weirded out that students from another class came to visit the new guy on his second day. He sure got popular in a hurry. Brianne, just as she was about to fully hug Jerren, noticed Lazuli stood next to them with an icy cold glare! She looked up with a smile, 'I am surprised you're not busy painting the bathroom brown.' Sanka Ku and Su Roas laughed at her joke and she laughed with them, while Jerren looked somewhat perplexed.
Lazuli, hearing what they said, suddenly got a smug smile on her face, 'oh, that laxative you put in my food; yeah, I used my quirk's inner workings to burn that stuff completely out of my system! Did you really think such a simple trick would work on someone like me? Oh right; you only have these two losers to help and compare yourself to, so of course you think yourself powerful and smart; laughable!'
Brianne jumped off Jerren's lap and onto her feet, standing before Lazuli, before glaring at Sanka Ku and Su Roas, the two of them shocked as well. Shocked that their prank hadn't worked, surprised Lazuli had been able to burn it out of her system, as well as completely baffled that Lazuli had mocked her and her friends in a single sentence. And, to add insult to injury, everyone in class 1-a, as Momo and the others had followed after Lazuli, had heard everything that Lazuli had said to her and about them.
Brianne took a deep breath and sighed before gesturing with her head to the door, before walking out of class, followed by her two friends, right before almost all of class 1-a applauded Lazuli. The only ones who didn't applaud were Todoroki and Bakugo. Shortly after the school bell rung and everyone returned to their seats. But just as they sat and the next class was about to begin, both Jerren and Lazuli noticed something. Out of nowhere; a massive power level appeared and, in a flash; it stood before their classroom door.
As the door opened, a loud voice announced; 'I AM HERE!' and a large man, wearing a skin tight outfit with blond hair, with two clusters of hair standing up, darkened eyes and a big smile, with massive muscles stepped into the class. Everyone got excited when they saw him and they heard several students muttered his name; All Might! According to their research; he was the number 1 hero on the planet, the world's living symbol of peace and justice.
All Might stepped up to the front of the class and pressed a button, making the class's hero costumes come out of the wall, 'well, for the students I have had for a month, you know the drill; combat class. As for the newest edition to our class, welcome! In the upcoming combat class, you will be divided in teams of two and one team will be heroes, the other will act as villains. And you can't pick your team mate, that will be done randomly. Now, with that explained, put on your hero costumes and meet me at training ground Gamma!' he walked out of the classroom and his energy signature moved away at great speed, before it was suppressed again.
Jerren, for his hero costume, had simply taken his Galactic Union Uniform. It offered protection, was easy enough to move in and, if needed, could monitor his health. Lazuli had simply chosen her white striped sweater, her blue jacket, black pants and boots. Though, this version of that outfit was a bit tougher than the normal clothes. Her favorite outfit had been strengthened, like Jerren's uniform, so it could offer some extra protection.
As All Might appeared again, he showed his students a list of which students had been paired with which students. Jerren had been paired with Mina Ashido and they had been nominated as heroes in this exercise. And the villains they would face; Lazuli and Kyoka Jirou. A stage set for a good match.
Battle simulation
Jerren and Lazuli waited with the others, watching from a monitor room how the matches went between each hero and villain pairing squaring of. Each match was set to last 15 minutes at the most. If the heroes couldn't reach the weapon the villains were guarding in that time, the villains won. The villains could also win if they captured the heroes; binding their wrists with capturing tape. And vice versa the same went for the heroes. And this way they also got to see how their classmates used their quirks.
While none of them were really on their level, they did have a good understanding of their quirks and used it in interesting methods to battle their opponents. When it came to power, Bakugo, Todoroki and Midoriya were at the top of the class. Bakugo's explosions, Todoroki's powerful waves of fire and ice and Midoriya's enhanced strength. Though, from what they heard from others; when Midoriya had used his quirk earlier, it had broken his limbs. So it seems he had gained some control. All three of them certainly had potential,... though Bakugo's explosive temper and his habit of telling his target to; 'DIE!' he seemed more like a villain.
But others were quite capable as well. Momo could produce powerful weapons so long as she knew their composition and she was very capable of using them. That could be useful for adding weapons and ammunition to their battle. Mineta, while not powerful, could make all things other than himself stick to the balls he pulled off his head. Though; since his classmates knew this they steered clear of his balls and dodged them when Mineta threw them at him. And than there was Mineta's cowardice, cowering away in the face of any kind of danger; not suited for their recruitment.
And than came their match; Jerren and Mina vs Lazuli and Kyouka. The two villains, Lazuli and Kyouka entered the building, placed the weapon; a large bomb and Jerren and Mina took their places. Allmight said over the radio, 'okay, Heroes and Villains, let the mission; BEGIN!' Jerren and Mina calmly walked into the building, with Mina slowly filling one hand with acid, ready to strike should the be ambushed.
Lazuli looked at the entrance to the room she and Jirou were in, thinking quickly, about a strategy to keep Jerren and Mina away from the devise. While their mission was to find strong people to join their war effort, she would take her roll as a student seriously. But, just as she was about to state her plan, Jirou asked, 'so, Lazuli; what did you and Jerren mean at lunch? When he said; " don't worry Lazuli. Let those girls have their fun. I haven't forgotten our mission" what did he mean with that?' Lazuli's gaze snapped back to Jirou, who fiddled with her earphone jacks, 'I don't need to plug these into something to hear better you know.'
Lazuli coldly started at Jirou, for a long time. The silence making Jirou somewhat nervous, before Lazuli finally turned around, looking over her shoulder to Jirou, 'whatever our mission is, it is none of your business! You don't have the authority or the right to know. You're not worthy enough to have that information disclosed to you!' Jirou was somewhat shocked to hear such cold hard words, but also to simultaneously hear Lazuli speak in such a formal tone.
Lazuli took a deep breath, 'now, onto more important business; protecting the devise! I'll leave you in charge of its defense, while I go out there and distract Jerren. I will try to draw Mina away as well, but I can't make any promises. If she gets passed me and reaches this room, it's up to you to stop her.' Jirou let Lazuli finish and nodded, focusing on the class mission. Leaving their mission for a later moment.
Jerren smiled as he and Mina walked into the building, 'okay, let's do this. I see this as an easy victory.' Mina looked at him with a smile, 'because you know Lazuli's weaknesses?' Jerren shrugged, 'close enough. I know she will try to come to us and keep us away from the devise she and Jirou are guarding. And, since I am pretty much her equal, if not better, I can take her on by myself.' Mina nodded, 'meaning, if we fight her together, we'll easily beat her.' Jerren shook his head, 'not quite. While your acid is powerful and you could possibly damage her, her and me are both fighters and have physical enhancement type quirks. One well placed hit from her will lay you out. So, while I keep her busy, you find Jirou and the devise and take it.'
Mina nodded, 'got it. Though I was hoping to team up against her and win by beating the villains, splitting up and dividing responsibilities works too.' Jerren nodded and, as he sensed for Lazuli's presence, he noticed she was coming toward them. As he walked toward her, pretending to look around corners to see if no one was in the hallway, to make sure Mina didn't get to suspicious of the new guy. But finally, he knew Lazuli was around the next corner and he also know; he would have the advantage in the upcoming fight. He could use his ki openly, including ki blasts. While she had to rely on her strength in the fight.
Lazuli stepped around the corner, 'alright, found you. Now, let's see if you can get passed me!' she took a fighting stance and her focus was mostly on Jerren, but she also kept an eye on Mina, before Jerren smiled, 'okay Mina, I got this. And using my ki, I just sensed everyone in the building. Jirou is two floors up, to the left of the building; in the middle.' Mina nodded, 'got it!' she ran passed the wall of the hallway, swinging her left hand at Lazuli, shooting out a wave of acid. Lazuli ducked and rushed under it, before dashing toward Mina, pulling back a right fist, but as she threw it, Jerren appeared in her way and blocked it, allowing Mina to run passed Lazuli. And to make it even more convincing, Jerren cross swung both his arms, sending out a blast of ki, knocking Lazuli back and into the wall on the other side of the hallway.
Mina turned the corner and Lazuli jumped to her feet, 'well, I guess it's only you and me now. And with there being cameras here, shall we put on a little show?' Jerren smiled and nodded, 'we shall indeed. Let's just keep it to the level we showed at the physical quirk evaluation!'Lazuli nodded and ran forward, launching a volley of rapid kicks at him, followed by some punches. Jerren blocked them all, dodged the punches, jumped back and started shooting ki blasts at her. She ducked and dodged, while moving closer and closer to him.
As she did, Jerren stopped shooting ki blasts, focused it more in his muscles and started exchanging blows with her. Pretty much a slug fest, punching, kicking, blocking, parrying and dodging. Normally, when they went all out, they were pretty much equals. And now, as they were holding back, they were still relatively equals. Except that Jerren could shoot out ki blasts. But, just because Lazuli could not use ki to blast her opponent, she could use it within her body to increase her strength further, without having to show burning aura outside her body, like Jerren did. And, as she was an android, she would never run out of ki. Jerren on the other hand would. However, if they held back as much as they did now, that wouldn't happen in a few hours.
But as their fight continued, Mina made her way to Jirou, who had already hooked up her earphone jacks to the speakers on her boots. She was ready to launch the sound of her amplified heartbeat at the first person to enter the room. Mina took a deep breath, filled both her palms with acid, jumped by the opening and swung both her hands at Jirou, before hiding behind the other side of the opening. Jirou had seen her and launched her amplified heartbeat at Mina, but had missed, while Mina's attack had hit.
As Mina looked around the corner, she noticed her acid had hit the speakers on Jirou's boots and quickly ran into the room, spraying some more acid toward Jirou's boots, who quickly stepped away and dodged, giving Mina the time to jump toward the weapon and touch it.
As All Might saw this, he announced, 'the hero team has won! all fighting stops now.' Lazuli and Jerren, who had moved their fight out of a hallway and into a bigger room, had really been going at it, having increased their output of power ever so slightly. But, as they heard the announcement, they both stopped fighting and Lazuli cracked a small smile, 'congratulations on winning; hero.' Jerren chuckled and scratched the back of his head.
As the four of them left the building, the next two students who would play the villains, Uraraka and Tokoyami, entered the building. And as they got back to the monitor room, the team of heroes, Momo and Midoriya left to show what they could do. Having finished their own test, they continued to watch all the others. But they also watched All Might. His power might be what they had been looking for. Though it seemed to fluctuate; from close to their full power to just as strong, to weaker. And, as the last four people finished, All Might greeted his class with a smile, before dashing off at high speed, before his presence of power suddenly completely disappeared.
As the students went to get dressed in their uniforms again, Lazuli remembered her talk with Jirou and noticed her occasionally looking her way. With what she had heard and said, she couldn't risk her cover being blown so soon. As such, she should try to not talk to Jerren at school, maybe distance herself from him. They would be able to talk plenty at home. She would have to tell him this, so he could also play along with this scenario.
On their way back to class, for hero basic training; informatics, she told him this in whispers, while Kirishima and Sato were talking loudly. And she made sure that Jirou wasn't close enough to eavesdrop again. Luckily she was distracted by Mineta who was making some pervy remarks about some of the girls hero outfits; excluding her for some reason. Lazuli did not know why, but Jirou seemed a bit bothered by the fact she got skipped; as if she wasn't attractive.
As school ended, Lazuli left first, without Jerren, so it wouldn't be discovered by others. If they were seen heading in the same direction, it could be assumed that they lived close together. But if they were followed, it would be discovered they lived together. Such rumors and facts exposed could hinder their mission. So she went home alone. She took a shortcut through the park, when she suddenly ran into Brianne, who stood on the middle of the path, looking angrily at her. And as Lazuli stopped, Sanka Ku and Su Roas stepped out from the bushes behind her. Brianne scowled, 'you thought you had put me down before huh? In the presence of your entire class; thinking you were cool, trying to obstruct my goal of finding a man. Well, now the roles are reversed; you're outnumbered! And while I don't know what your relation with Jerren is; girlfriend, friend, classmate, or childhood friend or sweetheart: I am shutting it down!'
Lazuli smirked, 'you think, just because it's three on one, you can take me? And you would use your quirk outside of school? Wouldn't that make you villains?' Brianne scoffed, 'hah, heroes, villains, quirks; who cares? We don't even have quirks. We're not from here, but from universe 2. and to make sure you understand your place; beneath me! We'll teach you a lesson!'
at that moment, all three girls said in unison; 'Formation!' Brianne started glowing pink, Sanka Ku started glowing blue and Su Roas started glowing yellow, while each of them said their name in a stuttering and repeating way. When the light faded, each of the girls had changed. Their skin color was now teal, Brianne still wore the same outfit, but with a tight hood around her head. But she was now fat. Sanka Ku had gained a blue tail, a dark mask, her hair was now blue and she wore a dark skin tight uniform. And Su Roas seemed to wear a yellow martial arts uniform, while wearing a form of purple hat.
Lazuli stood dumbfounded for a moment, before starting to laugh, 'you girls look ridiculous! And Brianne; why would you ever use such a useless transformation when it makes you as fat and ugly as a pig?!' this was the wrong time and place and the wrong person to say this too. Brianne had already been angry and now!
Brianne launched forward, punching Lazuli in the gut with far more force than she had expected, launching her backwards, where she was kicked in the back by both Sanka Ku and Su Roas, who were also far stronger than expected. The next few minutes, while Lazuli tried to defend herself, she got pummeled by Su Roas, scratched and slashed by Sanka Ku and blasted with ki attacks and punched by Brianne. After five minutes, Lazuli collapsed onto the ground, before Brianne put her foot on Lazuli's head, 'this, this is where you belong; under my heel!' she pulled her foot back and nodded at the other two girls, who picked up Lazuli, while all three of them transformed back into their normal forms. Brianned pulled out a devise and pressed a button on it, opening a gateway back to universe 2.
just than, as the other two girls carried Lazuli through the portal, Brianne turned around with a smile, seeing Jerren approaching. She smiled at him, 'ah, Jerren right on time my dear. As you see, we have taken custody of Lazuli here and we're planning to take her back home to our dimension; universe 2. now, tomorrow I will come back, to hear your answer; be my boyfriend and live with me in universe 2. or else; you'll never see Lazuli again! See you tomorrow; hero.' she stepped backwards through the portal, which closed as she entered it, completely removing her, the other girls and Lazuli from sight and senses.
Jerren stood frozen, completely shocked at what had just happened. Brianne and her friends had revealed themselves to be from universe 2. they had fought, defeated and kidnapped Lazuli and now he had to deal with an ultimatum! Be Brianne's boyfriend, or never see Lazuli again. What now?
Universe 2
Jerren stood frozen, looking at the place where the portal had been mere moments ago. He had seen how Lazuli had been carried through the portal, which, surprisingly, lead to another universe. This meant that Brianne and her two friends were also from another universe. And Brianne's ultimatum,... all this info in such a short time, it was difficult to process it all in such a short time. But one thing was for sure; he had lost his partner! He had lost Lazuli! And he wouldn't get her back unless he became Brianne's boyfriend! But, what mattered most to him right now; Lazuli.
He fell to his knees, screaming her name out loud! Feeling sad, having lost someone who was important to him over such a stupid reason!
It seemed, his scream had been heard. Asui, Uraraka and Jirou, three of his classmates, who were on their way home, having walked by Midoriya and Bakugo a while ago, now seeing Jerren kneeling on the ground and having heard him yell Lazuli's name, they knew something was wrong.
Uraraka and Asui reached him first, kneeling down by him, with Uraraka asking, 'what happened? Did something happen to Lazuli?' Asui nodded, 'we heard you screaming her name.' Jirou, who had stood behind Asui and Uraraka, nodded, 'yeah, but I don't see her anywhere.' Jerren nodded, 'Lazuli,... she was ambushed, than attacked,... and than taken away; kidnapped.' the three girls looked at each other, before Asui asked, 'by who?' Jerren looked up at them, 'by that girl Brianne and her two friends. The three girls from class 1-b whom Lazuli roasted in class today.'
Jirou nodded, 'so, do you know where they have taken her?' Uraraka nodded, 'yeah, I am surprised you haven't gone after them; as fast as you are.' Jerren frowned and stood up, 'I don't know okay. By the time I got here, some sort of portal was open through which they walked, while that Brianne girl mocked Lazuli and me. The portal closed before I could get to it. They could be who knows where! And if a portal is not one of their quirks, maybe they had help from others!'
Jirou nodded, 'I understand. Well, we'll go back to school and inform our teachers mister Aizawa and mister Sekijirou, who's the mentor of class 1-b. They can inform other heor agencies to be on the lookout for those girls and Lazuli.' Jerren nodded, the frown on his face deepening, yeah, you do that. In the mean time I am going to think of places they might have gone. I'll let the teachers know if I think of something!' having said that, he walked away.
Asui, Uraraka and Jirou looked at him as he walked away, before the three of them walked back to school to inform the teachers about what happened. Thinking that Jerren was in such a bad mood because Lazuli was not only his fellow transfer student from the same school, but also a close friend of his. And, as a hero, or hero in training, being unable to rescue someone, while being mocked for it by a villain; something like that really stung.
And while it wasn't all that hero villain business for Jerren, that was the gist of it. He had lost Lazuli, a close friend and comrade, his partner, to a villain who had pretended to be a hero in training, similar to him and Lazuli. But why come all the way from universe 2 to,... whichever universe this was, to find a boyfriend? And why choose him? And why the ultimatum?! That Brianne, her acts had really angered Jerren. She would return tomorrow. He would need to have a plan! A plan that would make sure he got Lazuli back, so they could continue their mission, while also making sure Brianne's plan was stopped and she wouldn't do this again. For a moment he thought about asking head quarters for help. But even if he called them now, the quickest time someone could come to help was two weeks at the earliest and Brianne would come for his answer tomorrow! He would have to do this by himself!
The next morning, as all students went into the school, he remained outside the walls of the school, around the corner actually, where he didn't stand out too much. He saw all his classmates go into the building and waited for the final bell to ring; class would start soon. And just as he thought that, as he turned around, he saw the same portal he had seen yesterday open up again. Brianne stepped through it and was followed by Sanka Ku and Su Roas. Brianne smiled, 'ah, you seem to have waited for me. So, I guess you have made your choice.'
Jerren frowned, 'first of all, I want to know if Lazuli is alright.' Brianne sighed and nodded, 'yes, the blondie is alright. Since I knew you wouldn't come with me if she wasn't. Now, follow us to universe 2; your new home from today; boyfriend!' Jerren stepped forward, through the portal, where Brianne hooked arms with him and the other two followed after them, while the portal closed behind them.
Meanwhile, Asui and Uraraka had noticed Jerren's empty seat, while the other classmates had also noticed this, they also saw that Lazuli's seat was empty. While the teachers knew about her abduction, the other students had not been informed yet. Their first class; home room, was about to start. And shortly after that, they would head to the USJ for another training session.
Jirou, seeing Jerren was missing, made her more suspicious than before. Putting the pieces together of Lazuli and Jerren acting strange and talking about a mission and Lazuli telling her to back off, being unworthy, now Lazuli being kidnapped and him missing. He had told them he didn't know where Lazuli had been taken, but she now thought that was a lie; he knew where she had been taken, but didn't want to tell them. He either didn't want them to get involved in their mission's business, or he wanted to be the hero that rescued her. Or both!
In universe 2; Jerren and Brianne stood on a sort of floating pedestal that went through the streets, with many people on the sidelines cheering for the two of them, while many cameras were aimed at them from many angles. And their faces showed up together on many large screens on buildings. Brianne explained, 'yesterday, on the news, I explained that today was possibly the day I would finally choose a boyfriend. I am a sort of idol in my universe, you see? An idol, a symbol of love. So, naturally, just about everyone in my universe would wonder who my beloved is. And I have chosen you.'
Jerren gave her a cold look, 'why should I care?' Brianne looked a little hurt, 'don't you get it? You should feel honored! The entire city showed up for this event. We are currently live on every civilized planet in all of universe two. Out of all the men I could have chosen, I chose someone from another universe; you! Do you realize how special that makes you?' Jerren shrugged, 'and yet you had to blackmail me into this position!' Brianne frowned, before looking at the camera, smiling and waving, before glancing over at him, 'anyway, you're here now, you'll become my boyfriend, or you know what happens to poor Lazuli. Now, look around,... and would it kill you to smile?!' Jerren's mouth corners rose up in a cramped manner and he gave a somewhat crooked and dark smile, 'maybe!'
as the floating pedestal moved through the city, Sanka Ku and Su Roas, who stood behind Jerren and Brianne, explained that they were going to the center of the city, where Brianne lived. A special scene had already been made there, to enhance the romantic lovey-dovey mood. And there, in front of everyone and all the cameras, for all of universe 2 to see, he; Jerren, would declare his love for Brianne!
As they reached the center, the pedestal landed before a stage, where pink flower petals were softly floating and swaying in the air. There was a large red heart in the middle of the stage, made of flower bouquets, while seven people stood around on the stage, throwing glitter, flower petals and little small hearts, while soft romantic music was playing. The entire crowd became silent, as Brianne and Jerren stepped off of their pedestal and walked toward the large heart.
As he looked at the seven other people on the stage, he saw and older yellow man in a red suit, with a large white mustache, wearing a badge with his name; Zarbuto. A bald orange guy with pointy ears, blue eyes and a green orb on his forehead. The badge on his blue pants had the name; Rabanra, on it. Another bald guy, with a pink skin color and lighter spots over his head, he wore a white shirt and red pants, with a badge that held the name; Jimeze. A slender woman with light gray skin, light blue hair in a pony tail, golden eyes a purple dress for the occasion and her name; Vikal. A big muscular guy wearing yellow armor over his blue skin, while wearing a purple robe over his armor, his name; Zirloin,... a name that reminded Jerren of meat; sirloin. The last two seemed a tad out of place; a green lizard like guy with long thick orange hair; Hermila. And a plump, fat red plum like guy; Prum.
But than he saw her; Lazuli. She sat, tied to a chair by special bonds, while wearing a gag to keep her quiet. She sat behind the large heart, having a front row seat to the event that would unfold before her eyes. Jerren now knew his surroundings and the ten opponents that would be around them. Decision time had been hours ago and he wouldn't go back on his choice, whether he would come to regret it or not!
He and Brianne now stood face to face in front of the heart and all the cameras were aimed at them, because this was the big moment which everyone had waited for. Brianne smiled and took both of Jerren's hands in her own, shortly glancing at Lazuli with a smug victorious smile, before looking back at Jerren with a lovely expression, before asking the big question, for the big moment, 'Jerren; do you love me?' she fluttered her eye lashes at him, but Jerren still didn't smile and he pulled his hands back, 'no!'
he turned toward Lazuli, shooting out several controlled ki blasts, cutting her bonds and destroying the chair. Lazuli jumped off of it and pulled the gag off her mouth, before landing by Jerren with a small smile, 'thanks. But what took you so long?' Jerren smiled, 'I had to play by this crazy chick's rules in order to get to you. But hey, I am here now!'
the romantic music ended and all the flowers, glitters and hearts dropped to the ground. And the ten others on the stage surrounded them, all of them angry, except for Brianne. She was absolutely LIVID!
This was supposed to be her grand moment, where she would show her love to her entire universe! But not only had she been rejected by the guy she had chosen, she had been rejected in front of everyone present and everyone who was at home watching! And what's more; as he rejected her, he had freed his friend, a female friend. This made it look like she had been dumped for another girl! This would not stand!
Jerren looked at her, 'what, did you think you would have your way, just because you have a pretty face?! You kidnapped my friend, you manipulated me to come here and choose you as my girlfriend, or I would never see Lazuli again. That's blackmail; meaning you have an ugly personality!' Brianne was about to reply, when she suddenly heard the crowd whisper and she noticed that all the cameras were still on and aimed at her and Jerren; her plan had been exposed and she had just been insulted in front of her entire universe!
She screamed in anger; 'enough! These two are without any love! They are not allowed to remain here! Everyone; take them down!' the other nine nodded and launched at Jerren and Lazuli. The two jumped aside and Lazuli cracked a small smile, 'last time it was three on one in a park! Now let's see how you like your odds when I have backup!'
the group of fighters split up, all going after one of them. The girls; Brianne, Sanka Ku, Su Roas and Vikal attacked Lazuli, while the other six guys went after Jerren. The two bashed the others off them and kept them at a distance with some powerful ki blasts and Lazuli had an edge in this regard, as she never ran out; she continued blasting all her opponents. But during the fight, both Jerren and Lazuli had the same target; Brianne! Or more precise, her pocket. She still had the devise on her that would create a portal to their own universe. Jerren had not seen her change anything on it since he had gotten it, so he would get it, press the button and go home!
Lazuli increased the intensity of her blasts and the speed at which she launched them, keeping all the women off of her, while also hitting some of them, as well as some of the men in their backs. And Jerren used this opportunity to knock those who had been hit out of the sky, with as a result he had less opponents to deal with.
Brianne had had enough of this fight and called Sanka Ku and Su Roas to her, while Lazuli knocked Vikal out with a volley of ki blasts, combining their power, creating a large black heart above them. But this was a mistake! Jerren appeared behind them in a flash and shot down Sanka Ku and Su Roas, before grabbing Lazuli by her wrists, 'right pocket!' Lazuli nodded, shot up, grabbed in the mentioned pocket, before kneeing Brianne in the stomach, pulling out the devise, before Jerren kicked her down to the ground.
Lazuli and Jerren quickly went through the portal, arriving back in their own dimension, at the same spot where Brianne had picked up Jerren, right outside of the school. Lazuli crushed the devise in her hand and the portal closed. Hopefully that was the only devise of its kind. And if there were more, Brianne would probably no return, as she had been dumped and humiliated by both Jerren and Lazuli. She looked at Jerren and now honestly smiled, 'thanks for saving me Jerren, being stuck with her all that; it was a nightmare!'
To be continued ...
