Hello my lovely readers, if you notice in my chapters I am writing this in a new style of shifting perspectives. I would like to know your feedback and think if this style works with how I am trying to write my story. Sorry if the chapters seem a bit short as well.
Later that night, Simon was lying in his trusted gunman, reading the classifieds in a newspaper he had managed to pick up from a kind salesman. If he was going to stay in this world for a while, he might was well be able to support himself somewhat with his skill with a drill. So we have Simon's staying up late into the night looking for anything that would let him use his leadership skills or his drill like he did back in Jiha.
Eventually falling asleep in the confines of his robot, the newspaper fell upon his face and the spiral warrior just used it as a kind of blanket, wondering how this would all turn out in the end. He just hoped that Deku kid would show that spirit he saw again if he needed it.
Said young man was staying awake in his own bed at this time, staring intently at the golden drill the teenager had gifted him earlier that day, focused on making it glow as bright as it could. The hours passed as he did this, but nothing was happening. Izuku tried to focus on what his new friend had said about the energy, that it was accessed by his fighting spirit?
Stopping his concentration for a bit, Izuku sat up in his bed as he tried to recall the feeling he felt during the fight with Bakugou. The blond had been bullying another target for once, and Deku just felt a need deep within him to jump in and stop it all, that need persisted throughout the small fight as he tried to stop Bakugou from performing the act pushing him forward despite his injuries.
With a new idea in ind, Deku tried to imagine his mom in danger, she would be stuck in the house as it caught fire and crying out for help, but Izuku would be the only one around to save her. Deku's bright mind went wild with the situation as he imagined the cries out from his mother for help, and he visualized the flames all around his room. Burning everything in sight, all his All Might posters would be gone and his bed would be nothing but ashes. Though nothing was more important than his mom as he was trapped underneath a falling dresser, as Deku would try to help she would call of him to run, to save himself and leave her behind. The aspiring young hero could never do that though, he could never leave someone in help behind when he could help someone, especially not his mom!
As Izuku's imagination of the scenario went on, he felt his determination to save his mother in that situation grow spread throughout his body. He just needed to keep pushing on and help his mom from out under the dresser after all! The small golden drill within Deku's hand started to glow its faint light again, the fighting spirit coming from Izuku certainly was there and enough to generate a small amount of spiral energy. Though with its lack of refinement, the energy was mostly dissipating into the air around him. Izuku still managed to notice the glow however and nearly jumped out of his bed in joy, he really could do something without a quirk. Quickly he buried his green head into some soft pillows and tried to force himself asleep, clutching the drill close to his chest like it was his most valuable possession in the world. Excited for the next day when he would meet that man again and show him he hadn't failed. That he could learn from him.
Simon got out of his mech with a yawn, ready to go out and find a job, he was about to walk out of his warehouse home when he stopped himself. He technically didn't even exist in this world and needed to fix that. Maybe he could go somewhere to get whatever he needed? Going over to Gurren once more, he tried to bring up the official bits of information that Rossiu had made him put into his robot's memory banks. Saying that as a member of the military he needed to be able to present these things at a moment's notice, with his instinctive control over Lagann, the information came up easily...Now he just needed it to transfer to this worlds databanks somehow, getting an idea. Simon ran out of the wherehouse towards a nearby dump. Hopping over the guard fence with ease, he raced over to the electronics section of the dump and quickly found himself an old, broken tower for a computer and smiled to himself. This thing would do just fine he supposed.
So with an act of minor thievery under his belt, Simon took his junk prize back to the wherehouse and had Lagann pierce it with its head drill, that along with a little application of spiral energy easily let him upgrade and fix the computer, integrating it into Lagann's main body itself so that Simon could start making it so he actually existed in this universe with the information he had. It was boring work for sure, but he guessed it was necessary if he wanted to help Deku with becoming a spiral warrior like him.
Deku himself was in the park again, giggling to himself as he made his core drill glow again. Glad that he was able to make the thing glow with whatever power the man had told him about. The young boy's joy was interrupted however when one brash hothead decided to come up from behind Deku and shove him to the ground.
"What are you so happy about Deku? Have you finally realized that you are useless with that quirkless body of yours? Have you decided to give up being a cool hero like me?" Bakugou spoke to Deku in his usual condescending way, not expecting any retaliation as he sparked a small explosion in his hands for the intimidation factor. The green haired boy, deciding to get away from his former friend went over to a nearby try to be alone and focus on making his drill glow brighter.
"Hey shithead! You can't just ignore me like that! You don't have the right to blow me off without any power of your own you worthless piece of crap!" The angry young blond growled at him before running up to the boy and going for a right hook before he noticed something glowing in Deku's hands.
"Hey what is that? How can someone like you make a little piece of metal glow?" Now a bit calmed, the curious young man looked at Izuku, demanding an answer from the bush headed boy.
"It- It's a gift that someone gave me yesterday and it will let me be a hero! Even without a quirk he said I could be powerful when using it. So leave me alone, I am trying to get better at this." The boy then walked to the other side of the tree, trying to be alone in his focus.
"Well if it will make someone like you strong than...Than it should really be in the hands of someone actually strong, so give it!" Bakugou then tackled Izuku, trying to wrestle the drill from his hands as Izuku fought him off as hard as he could. Determined to keep the gift that man had given him yesterday.
"No! This is mine and you can't have it! I won't let someone like you take this away from me!" Bakugou responded by causing an explosion right by his former friend's head. Hoping to scare Izuku into giving him the drill or else. Instead of making the boy cower like usual, Deku decided that this was enough. He would not let Katsuki walk over him like that anymore now that he had a chance!
Suddenly, Izuku's fist flew out towards Bakugou's face. Said fist was currently the one holding his core drill and the young hero fanboy's determination to not give in was letting him generate quite a bit of spiral energy for his age. Slamming the fist onto Bakugou's cheek, the spiral energy that was currently all being focused onto the core drill suddenly expelled outward. Blasting the kid away with a burst of green energy. What looked to be a fist drilling into Bakugou's cheek as he flew away a few feet and landed on his back, at first Izuku was stunned from what just happened. Both boys were in shock from what had just happened. Bakugou did recover faster however and ran at Deku again, quirk ready and raring to go.
"You will pay for that shithead! I will take that damn glowing thing from you right now to show you how someone with real power would use it!" The cries of outrage were stopped however when a tall, blue haired young man stepped in front of his target. Said man looked down at Deku and grinned at him.
"Great job using that energy, I really did not expect you to be able to use it that easily, but I guess stranger things have happened involving the spiral. Now let's get away from certain blond brats and I can talk more about what you just did." At Deku's surprise, Simon looked down at himself again and cursed. Shifting back to his fourteen year old body he chuckled and Izuku let out a sigh before going to follow the man to a swing set that was away from everything else.
"Now Deku, let's get to teaching you what exactly you just did and how you can do it again to help save people." Simon grinned at his young protege as his eyes widened, ready to take in any information given to him.
