Shattered Academia
When we last left our heroic Spider-Family, they had a close encounter of the mystical kind as Spidey's old ally and resident 'wise sage' Madame Web whisked them away to a whole new world in order to track down the Tablet of Order and Chaos as well as the Sinister Six. What marvels await our heroes in this unfamiliar land? Let's find out, NOW!
"Okay...no idea where this is but...at least we're in civilization, am I right?" joked Spidey.
"That's actually a good point," added MJ. "One thing though: What do we do now?"
"Fear not Mrs. Parker." spoke a familiar voice telepathically.
"Eeeek!" MJ shrieked.
"Honey calm down! It's just Madame Web," Spider-Man consoled her.
While Annie couldn't help but snicker at her mother, MJ couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
'You'd think after all the times we've seen Professor Xavier, I'd be used to having voices in my head.'
"So Madame Web, you were saying?" Spider-Man asked aloud.
"Yes, as is now, many fragments are located within this city," she began.
"And the bad news is?" chimed in Spiderling.
"With the tablet in pieces, it's power signature has diminished, making it difficult to pinpoint a fragment's exact location."
"And there it is folks," Annie exasperated.
"As I said before, fear not. I may not be able to locate the fragments, but you three can," Madame Web assured them.
"How?"
"With you're Spider-Senses."
"Wait, really?"
"Yes. The Tablet's power should be more than enough to trigger your Spider-Senses in close enough proximity. It is in many ways no difference than your trusty old Spider-Tracers."
"Oh, well in that case, this'll be a breeze," Spider-Man replied in a rather nonchalant manner.
"But what about me?" Spinneret interjected. "My Spider-Sense isn't natural and it's only a fraction as powerful as theirs."
"Not anymore it's not," Madame Web grinned. "I'm not the most technological person, but I can ensure that so long as you are in uniform, you're Spider-Sense will be just as reliable as your husband's."
"Well, that's reassuring," Mary Jane giggled sarcastically.
"Huh, I'd be upset if that weren't kinda true."
"One more thing, don't worry about your lives back home. You have my word that once you return, everything shall be as it was. Now, get moving. There's no time to lose."
As Madame Web's voice echoed out of their heads, Spider-Man groaned. "I know what that line means."
"What's it mean?" asked Annie.
"It means there's a good chance we'll be here a while."
"What!?" MJ exclaimed.
"Well...she did say that everything would be normal when we got back, so what's it matter?" Spiderling asked.
Spinneret was about to reply, but Spider-Man cut her off.
"I get why you're concerned MJ, but I'm with Annie on this one. Since apparently, no time'll pass by home, we may as well enjoy this while we can. Let's say we turn this mission into a...little vacation? A working vacation."
Mary Jane was hesitant, but eventually relented with a sigh. "Okay you guys win," she chuckled. "But now we have another problem."
"What problem Mom?"
"I don't think we can down to ground level looking like this," Spinneret motioned to her costume with her hands.
"Good point. We need some street clothes," said Spiderling.
"I think Madame Web was a step ahead of us. Look." Spider-Man pointed to the side of the rooftop where a trio of bags lay sprawled across.
"Hey, that's my backpack!" Spiderling exclaimed.
As the young girl rushed to the bags, the super couple shot each other a pair of delighted looks.
[A few minutes later]
From the shadows of a back alley, Peter Parker emerged, followed by his wife Mary Jane and his daughter Annie. Once the coast was clear, the family began a mellow stroll down the treet trying not to attract any attention to themselves.
"How nice of Madame Web to provide us the perfect cover up; a family of tourists," Peter joked.
"Yeah but...where are we touring Dad?" Annie asked.
"Judging from the signs...I think it's obvious we're in some kind of alternate Asian country, and while I'm no expert, I'm just gonna throw out a guess and say...Japan?"
"...JAPAN!?" the girls exclaimed.
"Oh my God! I've always wanted to visit Japan!" MJ squealed. "I've worn some high class Asian apparel back in my model days, but Japan was one of those few countries I never got the chance to check out!"
"Now who's looking forward to our 'working vacation?'" said Peter.
"Wait Dad, how do you know we're in Japan?" asked Annie? "For all we know we could be in Hong Kong or Korea or...something."
"Because...well, it's weird but...I can read the signs," Peter revealed.
"What? Since when can you read any Asian letters?" asked MJ.
"That's the weird thing, I couldn't before now. Though now that I think about it, it's most likely Madame Web's doing."
Annie and MJ searched around and found out, much to their surprise that they were able to make out the signs as well.
"Wow...if I knew learning a new language was as easy as knowing a psychic lady, maybe I should've asked Professor Jean for help with my Spanish class last year," Annie joked.
"Speaking of which...do you think she made it so we can speak and understand Japanese speech?" MJ asked.
"I wouldn't put it past...!"
Peter swallowed his words as his Spider-Sense flared up out of nowhere.
"Peter? What's wrong?"
"Spider-Sense!" Annie interjected.
"Already?" MJ sighed. "We just took our costumes off!"
"No...I don't think it's trouble trouble," Peter replied. "...But it is telling me to go up that building."
Once he made sure the coast was clear, Peter quickly dashed into another alley before he leapt onto a wall and bounded off of it onto the adjacent wall.
"Dad!?" Annie called.
The girls followed him into the alley and looked upwards in confusion as they watched Peter continually bounce up the wall until he finally reached the top.
"What's he doing up there?" Annie asked.
"Your guess is as good as mine..."
On the roof, Peter's eyes widened as they laid eyes on a familiar rock with a mysterious green glow. "Well...would you look at that?"
In the next instance, Peter peered over the rooftop and called down to Annie and MJ. "Hey girls! Check out what I found!"
"Is that-!?"
Peter leapt off the rooftop and landed in his traditional crouched Spidey pose. "Yup. We found our first fragment."
"Haha, SWEET!" Annie exclaimed.
"Figures, we walk around long enough and we find exactly what we're looking for."
"Ten to one says the other pieces won't be this easy to find." noted MJ
"No doubt," Peter agreed.
[Meanwhile, elsewhere in the city]
Though the city is known for having it's crowds, this particular crowd however was surrounding the form of an unconscious, costumed, man.
"'Hey, is he okay?'"
"'Who is he?'"
"'Should someone call an ambulance?"'
"Urrrgh..."
The cloth masked man steadily began to stir from his slumber and shook off the wooziness.
"Dammit...what the hell happened...?" Shocker said aloud.
"Hey buddy, you okay?" asked a random man.
Shocker simply replied, "Yeah...I think."
As his vision steadily cleared up, Shocker got a clear look at the man and came face to face with...a giant rat!?
"GAAAAAH!"
Shocker darted backwards into the other people in the crowd, he saw a woman with bird talons, a four-eyed man, a pair of kids with what looked crab claws and a bunch of other anomalies amongst other people who at least looked normal.
"What the-! What the hell are you!? A buncha mutants!?"
Many of the onlookers just looked at Shocker with confused, and some offended, looks. The situation escalated when one abnormally large man grabbed Shocker by the arm.
"Yo, mitten head! We're all tryin' ta help you, and then you just come out bein' all rude!I think you need to take a second and apologize!"
"And I think, you need to back the hell off!"
Lightly tapping his fist to the big man's gut, Shocker activated his gauntlet and fired off a powerful shockwave blast blowing the large guy away.
"Gggaaaaaah!"
The remaining onlookers all let out surprised gasps and took cautious steps backwards as Shocker steadily began aiming his gauntlets at anyone who got close to him.
"All of you! Keep away from me, and nobody'll get hurt, Capice!?"
The crowd quickly began to dissipate as Shocker began to fire smaller warning shots. It didn't take long before the crowd erupted into a fearful frenzy.
"Quick, somebody call for help!"
"Where's a hero when you need one!?"
"RIGHT HERE!"
The crowd turned to the gruff voice of a large muscular man with angular arms with...were those 'Caution' signs on his wrists and forehead.
"You! I don't know what your deal is buddy, but you oughta know better than to go using a dangerous quirk like that on others!"
Shocker just looked at the man in utter...well, shock and confusion. "Who and what the hell are you?"
"Heh, I'm the pro hero who'll be kicking your ass today. They call me 'Death Arms'!" he said while pounding his fists together.
"Death Arms...? That don't sound too heroic. Sorry pal, but you won't be joinin' the Avengers any time soon, especially not after I'm done with you!"
Shocker took aim and fired at Death Arms who leapt into the air to dodge Shocker's blast. Winding up, Death Arms threw a fierce punch at Shocker, but the vibrating villain fired a shockwave to the ground to push himself away from Death Arms' attack just in the knick of time.
"Oh no you don't!" Death Arms was just barely able to grab Shocker by the arm and pull him in. Once he was in striking range, he slugged Shocker right in the face launching him back into a nearby lamppost.
"Alright Pal, time to throw in the towel. If you give up now, I'm sure the lawmen will go easier on ya."
Thanks to his suit, Shocker was able to shake off some of Death Arm's attack. Just enough so that he wouldn't go down.
"I ain't finished yet tough guy!" said Shocker, getting into a mock boxing stance.
"Well, looks like we're doin' this the hard way!" Clashing his fists again, Death Arms rushed at Shocker, throwing another hard punch. This time however, to Death Arms' surprise, Shocker didn't try to dodge, but instead, he threw a punch of his own at Death Arms.
'Heh, does this poser really think he can challenge me?' thought DA feeling a bit confident.
When their fists clashed however, Death Arms' confidence began to waver as his arm started to feel numb.
"What the-!"
"Hrrraaaaagh!"
Shocker forced his fist forward with the vibration intensity cranked to it's maximum. The vibration was starting to take it's toll on DA's arm as it forced him to hastily retreat from the power struggle and clutch his now trembling arm.
"Wait...is that how his quirk-TTUUWAAGH!?"
Death Arms was silenced by a vibrating fist pounding him in the face, followed by another, and another and topped off with a double fisted vibrating blast in the stomach. Death Arms was blown back and hit the ground hard. He wa unable to immediately get back on his feet as his whole body was shaking.
"Let this be a lesson to you big boy; never look down on 'The Shocker!'"
Shocker aimed his fist at Death Arms intending to fire off a finishing blow, to his surprise however, his hand was subsequently wrapped up by some weird...belt looking thing. As his second hand suffered the same fate, Shocker was pulled around and came face to face with a pale looking man garbed in black with glowing red eyes and his hair flowing upwards.
"I know better than to judge someone's ability from their appearance, but I'm gonna be honest and say that I'm a little surprised that Death Arms couldn't handle someone as ridiculous looking as you. I should probably add this lesson to my classes curriculum."
"Hey, it's 'Eraserhead'!" shouted a nearby onlooker.
"Eraserhead? You make fun of my suit with a name like that, Shaggy?" said Shocker.
"Whatever. The fact is I have you trapped and I've erased your quirk. Hurry up and surrender. I'd like to enjoy the rest of this day before the weekend starts tomorrow." Eraserhead said in a nonchalant fashion.
Shocker couldn't help but smile beneath his mask. "You think you've got me trapped?" Aiming both hands at Eraserhead, Shocker activated his gauntlets and fired a dual blast that both forced his bindings loose and managed to hit the surprised Aizawa square on.
As Eraserhead picked himself up, a single thought crossed his mind. 'H-How...? I erased his quirk! I'm sure of it!'
"I beg to differ!"
[Elsewhere]
The Parker family continued their impromptu tour of the city. Though they managed to find a Tablet fragment, neither Peter nor Annie's Spider-Senses were alerting them to another. They'd been walking for at least a good half hour and so far, they noticed nothing out of the ordinary.
"Remind me again why we can't swing?" asked Annie. "It's faster than walking and even though we still don't know where we're going I think we're more likely to find...something!?"
"Well for starters, we don't want to attract attention to ourselves," replied MJ.
"Second, we don't have enough webbing to swing around aimlessly. Especially since I don't have the materials to make more." added Peter.
Annie sighed, but understanding the situation, she held her tongue.
"Still, where are we supposed to even go?" MJ asked. "If we are going to be here a while to find the tablet, we need to at least find a place to stay."
"With what money?" replied Peter. "Madame Web was nice enough to give us our wallets when she dropped off our street clothes, but she DIDN'T do us the favor of turning our American money into Yen, and unfortunately, I don't know the exchange rate, and even so, I doubt we'd have enough to even rent a place for three."
"Aren't you supposed to be the genius in the family," teased MJ.
"Hey, I'm a scientist not a mathematician."
"But Dad, don't math and science compliment each other?"
Peter was about to try and come up with a witty comeback when out of nowhere he was knocked down by a random person sprinting past him.
"Peter!"
Offering Peter a hand, the one who knocked him over asked, "Hey man, you okay!?"
"Yeah...I'm fine, but you really should watch where you're...HUUH!?"
Peter swallowed his words as he took a look at the guy and realized he didn't offer him just one hand, he offered him two...which wouldn't be so weird if A.) both hands weren't on the same side of his body, and B.) he had two more hands on the other side.
Annie and MJ both let out a pair of small surprised gasps as they watched Peter reluctantly take one of the four-armed man's hand and get back to his feet.
"Sorry about knocking you down there, but there's a big fight goin' on just up the street! A pair of heroes are fighting some dude in a quilt costume, and it's getting pretty intense! Trust me, you don't wanna miss it pal!" having said his piece, the four-armed man dashed off leaving the bewildered Parkers alone.
"Umm...you two saw that right?" asked MJ.
"Yes, and I think I'm getting some bad flashbacks!" Peter replied clutching his sides.
"You guys notice how...normal he was acting?" added Annie.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that if there were a four-armed dude back home, someone would've called the SWAT team, but here, he acts like just some Average Joe," Annie noted.
"That's...a good point," said MJ. "But wait...does that mean that...everybody in this world...is a mutant!?"
"I...don't know, but didn't Miss Web say something about this place being 'A World of Heroes, not unlike our own'?" Annie recalled.
"Annie's right, and speaking of heroes, didn't Four-Armed Fred back there say something about two heroes fighting some kind of Quilt-Man?" said Peter.
The Parkers all paused as realization dawned on them. "Shocker!" they said in unison.
"Well Annie, looks like we'll be going swinging after all."
As Peter pulled his shirt open, revealing the arachnid symbol beneath, Annie and MJ both opened their bags revealing even more spider symbols.
[Back at the battle]
Eraserhead had spent a good chunk of the last few minutes receiving and dodging Shocker's blasts. Thakfully, Death Arms was back on his feet and was prepared to try and take Shocker down again.
"Damn Eraser, with your quirk, I figured you'd have had this thing won already," said Death Arms.
"It's strange, but for some reason, I can't erase his quirk," Aizawa replied.
"What!? Why!?"
"How should I know? For now, we need to keep this battle contained and away from civilians until either backup arrives, or we find a way to take him down."
"Look, I just wanted to be left alone! You mutant freaks are the ones who came gangin' up on me first!" Shocker exclaimed.
Eraserhead's eyes narrowed beneath his goggles. "There's no place for hypocrites like you in this town."
"Hypocrite? How am I a hypocrite!?" yelled Shocker.
"You seem to have a problem with people with quirks (most notably heteromorphics). It's sad that people like that still exist, but if someone's going to have an issue with quirks, maybe it should be someone who doesn't have a quirk themselves."
Shocker gave the stone faced hero a confused look before responding, "What's a quirk?"
In that moment, every single person watching froze before comically falling over. As everyone got back to their feet, all eyes were glued to Shocker with disbelief. Even Eraserhead couldn't help but give an uncharacteristically shocked look.
"Ugh...Is this guy for real!?" said Death Arms.
"I don't know and frankly, I don't care anymore either. Let's just end this thing already." Eraserhead propped his goggles back into place before propping his bandages set to strike.
"So, you two still want a piece of me?" said Shocker. "This time, I'll rock the two of you like a hurricane!"
Shocker took aim at the two pros but before he could fire, his arms were subsequently wrapped up yet again. This time however, his bindings were...sticky?
"Oh no..."
"You know Shocker, I like that song, but you should know, it was only a one-hit wonder."
"SPIDER-MAN!?"
Sure enough, standing on a low nearby rooftop was none other than the wall-crawler with his arms crossed.
"Ya know, speaking of hitting...ladies?"
Right on cue, Spiderling and Spinneret leapt out from behind Spidey and delivered a pair of hard punches to Shocker's head, knocking him down.
As Spider-Man leapt into the fray to join his family, many onlookers were watching with interest and suspicion.
"Who're they?"
"A new team of heroes?"
"What're their quirks?"
"That girl's pretty cute!"
"Ya think the older lady's taken?"
Shocker picked himself up and vibrated the webbing off his hands before turning to face his old adversaries.
"I should've figured you and you're infested family would be here...wherever here is!"
"Well, I will take responsibility and say it's my family's fault we're here..."
"I said, 'My bad,'" interjected Spiderling.
"...But that doesn't mean you can just go around hurting innocents Blanket-Face."
"Why you...!"
"Why don't we be fair here, tell us where the rest of the Six are, and we promise you won't get hurt...much," said Spiderling.
"Butt out kid, the grown-ups are talkin'!" Shocker aimed and fired at Spiderling, who wasn't prepared to dodge. Thankfully, Spinneret was able to push her daughter clear of the attack, but not without taking the blunt of it herself.
"Mom!"
"Okay, NOW I'm angry!" said a narrow eyed Spider-Man. Firing a web at Shocker's feet, with a hard yank, Spidey knocked Shocker right off his feet. As Shocker fell on his back, Spider-Man leapt on to him and grasped his gauntlets. As Shocker tried to force Spider-Man off of him, the two began to roll around on the ground.
As the two foes grappled, and Spiderling was still with her mother, Death Arms and Eraserhead took the moment to clear out the remaining civilians and assess the current battle.
"Yo Eraser, what do you make of this?" Death Arms asked.
"I'm not quite sure. They seem to be heroes, but I've never seen or heard of anyone with a 'Spider' quirk before," he noted. "The guy seems to be handling the vibrating man well enough, so we should at least check on the two women, but don't let your guard down."
"Right."
Eraser and DA quickly rushed over to Spiderling and Spinneret, the latter who was still reeling from the effects of Shocker's attack.
"Mom? Mom!"
"Hey!"
Spiderling turned to see the man with the huge arms and the goggled guy in black approaching. Stepping in front of her mother, she quickly took a defensive stance when the two men made it to their position.
"At ease girl. We're here to help," said Eraserhead.
Spiderling raised a skeptical eyebrow. She wasn't sure what to make of the pair, but fortunately she didn't have to worry for long as Spinneret started to make her way back to her feet.
"Mom?"
"Don't worry sweety, I'm okay," Spinneret assured her. "Where's your father?"
"Over there with Shocker!" Spiderling pointed.
"Shocker? You know that guy?" asked Death Arms.
"OOF!"
The villain in question was harshly tossed onto the ground near the group followed by Spider-Man landing fiercely in his gut before backflipping off of him in a victorious pose..
"This...ain't over Webhead!" Shocker strained out.
"You sure, cause it looks pretty over to me Herman."
Shocker was about to retort, but held his tongue when he realized the position he was in. He was on the ground, and standing above him was Spider-Man, his wife and kid, plus two new guys who, though he beat, managed to cause him trouble. He didn't want to admit it, even in his mind, but Spider-Man was probably right...it was all over for him.
"You know, my deal still stands," said Spiderling. "Tell us where the other five of your teammates are, and you won't get hurt...you know...any more."
Unbeknownst to them, a figure was perched far above them watching the scene from a bird's eye view. 'Well, I guess that's my cue.'
Dropping a couple of small spherical objects, the figure leapt off of his high perch and divebombed down to the scene.
Back with the heroes, The Spider-Family's Spider Senses all went off simultaneously.
"Hey what's-?"
Before Spider-Man could finish, the heroes were all bathed in a blanket of green smoke.
"Kuh-ack! What is this...!" coughed Death Arms.
"Smokescreen...stay on your guard!" shouted Eraserhead.
"Mom! Dad!"
"We're right here!"
While the heroes all fumbled about, they felt something whoosh past them and blow some of the smoke away.
"What...was that...!?"
Thanks to whatever it was that whooshed by, the smokescreen dissipated quicker than expected, and the heroes were able to catch a glimpse of something hovering over them.
"Look! Up in the sky!" said Spiderling.
"Is that a bird?" asked Death Arms.
"Is it a plane?" Spider-Man said in a mock tone.
"Honey, it's 'The Vulture'!" said Spinneret.
Sure enough, floating above the group of heroes and bystanders was the Vulture, with Shocker holding onto him by the ankles.
"So, the rest of the Six are here!" Spider-Man stated.
"So it would seem Spider-Man. You may win this day, but once we reunite we can ensure that it won't hapapen again!" said Vulture.
Turning away, Vulture jetted off with Shocker hanging on for dear life.
"Oh no you don't!" exclaimed Spider-Man. Before he could make an attempt to chase after them, Shocker turned back and fired a blast at a nearby building causing rubble to fall over a group of civilians.
"Oh no!" Quickly darting to the rescue, Spider-Man, joined by his family spun a web net that caught the rubble before anyone could get hurt. Unfortunately that little stunt was just enough to allow Vulture and Shocker to escape.
"Great, Shocker and Vulture got away. Can anything else go wrong today!?"
While Spinneret placed a hand on his shoulder to try and console him, the most unexpected thing happened: The onlooking crowd broke out into a round of cheers and applause.
"That was awesome!"
"The red and blue guy kicked Quilt Man's ass!"
"And they saved Death Arms and Eraserhead."
As the crowd continued to cheer on the Spider-Family, Spidey and Spinneret just stood there bewildered.
"Uhhh Peter...how often did something like this happen at home?"
"You can count em' on one hand."
While the Spider Couple took in the praise with modesty, Spiderling on the other hand was enjoying the time in the spotlight to the fullest. From doing a few poses to blowing kisses like she was on a parade float, Spiderling intended to give the crowd a show.
The show however was cut short by the approaching Death Arms and Eraserhead, the former of which who extended a grateful hand.
"Man, if you three didn't show up when ya did, this might've gotten pretty messy."
Though hesitant at first, Spider-Man, with Spinneret by his side, smiled beneath his mask and returned Death Arms' handshake firmly.
"No worries, it's what we do."
"Not that we don't appreciate the assistance," interjected Eraserhead, "But now that the situation's calmed down, we can address the new issue."
"What issue is that?" asked Spiderling.
"Who are you three? Last I checked, there were no registered heroes with quirks like yours."
The Spider Family gave each other a series of confused looks before turning back to Eraserhead, and Spider-Man asked, "Uhhh...what's a quirk?"
The reaction this time was even more extreme than the last as every person present froze in place and appeared to turn to stone (Aizawa included) before a gentle breeze knocked everyone sans the heroes down.
[Elsewhere]
Vulture and Shocker flew high into the sky making sure they were out of eyesight. Once they flew high enough, Vulture started making his way down and landed on the tallest rooftop he could find.
"Thanks for the save Gramps. Guess I owe you one," said a panting Shocker.
"Don't worry about it. I'm actually glad I ran into you when I did," replied Vulture.
"Really?"
"Yes. I thought I was here alone, but if you're here, and by extension Spider-Man, then that means the rest of the Six must be too."
"Ahh, you're right Toomes. But where are we gonna find em?" asked Shocker.
"I don't know Schultz, but we'd better find them quickly, because something tells me that only Octavius would know a way to get us back home."
"Well, you can start by turning around!"
The two villains quickly snapped around and saw came face to helmet with their Mystical cohort.
"Mysterio!? Is that really you?"
"It's me alright, though I'm not really there, but I do bring good news. I've already been reunited with Dr. Octavius and now we found you guys, that makes four of us."
"So that means we just gotta find Max and Flint!" said Shocker.
"But even if we do find them, what then? We're stuck in a world where everyone's a mutant with no way back to our home world!?" Vulture shrieked.
"Are you sure?" Mysterio waved his arm and his fragment of the tablet appeared.
"Is that-!?"
"That's right Adrian, and you know what this means."
"If one fragment's here, then it' possible that the rest of the Tablet could be too!" Vulture guessed.
"In a best case scenario yes. Though we shouldn't rule out the possibility of the rest of the tablet being back home. Still, one piece could be all we need." Mysterio sneered beneath his helmet.
"Well this is all well and good, but we've got a problem," said Shocker. "A red, white, black and blue problem."
"Let me guess...Spider-Man and his annoying family?"
"Yup."
"Figures he'd be here too, but no matter. As long as we keep a low profile, we might just be able to get a leg up on the arachnids, and if this thing really CAN send us back home, we'll have the chance to return to a brand new world: A world without Spider-Man!
"Now there's a world worth fighting for!" Vulture chuckled.
The Sinister Six is nearly reassembled. As if that weren't bad enough, the Spider Family is soon to be at the mercy of the ultra strict Eraserhead. Though they left a great first impression, who knows how the world of quirks will react to a family of 'Unlicensed' heroes? Well...anyone who reads MHA: Illegals may have an idea, but for the rest of you, stay tuned!
(A/N: Why does it always feel like I start a new story whenever I get stuck on one of my older ones? Seriously, I've hit a pretty sizable roadblock in my DBZ/Ranma story, and though I'm steadily getting through it, I still feel like I'm going nowhere fast. Hopefully I can get the next chapter of THAT done before my next Chapter of this. Speaking of this Chapter...yeah, Shocker vs. Death Arms, who saw THAT coming...probably a few of you. But I bet you didn't expect Aizawa to show up! As for Aizawa, I threw him in cause while he knows how to fight people with quirks he can't erase, I thought it'd be interesting to have him fight someone with a power he SHOULD be able to erase, but can't. Some of you may say that Aizawa might've been able to figure out that Shocker's attacks were coming from a special weapon rather than his own power, and while I know he's smart enough to figure it out, I decided to save that revelation for the obligatory exposition...possibly next chapter if all goes well. Until next time,
Excelsior: PLUS ULTRA!)
