Chapter 3: Our New Home?
"You're the first of those fearless to go out there and save a hostage from that villain today." The number 1 hero told the green-haired boy who's crying began to lower. All Might continued while he and the others watched and or listened. "And for that, I'm deeming you worthy of my power...My Quirk is yours to inherit."
Izuku looks back up giving a puzzled yet teary look. "What? ...What do you mean inherit? Inherit what?" All Might just laugh hearing that question. "What's so funny about that?" Byrd shrugged to Shiela. "Beats me...I don't have a clue?" Once the laughing died down All Might spoke. "Don't worry kid, I'm not going to inflict this on you." He then raised his finger in the air.
"Now listen here, this is your choice..." He then pointed at Izuku with blood spewing from his mouth like a spray. "DO YOU WANT TO ACCEPT MY POWERS OR NOT-AGGHH!" It took a bit of time for Midoriya hero to make the decision. Become the hero he always wanted to become, or be a normal human being for the rest of his life.
While he thought, the number one hero began wiping the blood from his mouth. "There are a couple of things you should know about my abilities first. That includes all of you too." His gazed over Midoriya at the others behind him before explaining. "Unknowing to some of you, reporters have always tried to figure out and guest if my Quirk is super strength or some kind of invulnerability. When people ask in interviews, I would make a joke and avoid the question. That's because people need to believe their symbol of peace, is just a natural born hero like any of them...But I'm not. There's a reason I made sure none of them know about my true form...There's nothing natural about my ability."
Everyone kept silent and watched as All Might stretched his arms out, facing the air. "I wasn't born with this power, it's a sacred torch that was passed on to me from someone else." This left the group looking bewildered, except for one. "So...You're a warlock?" All Might looks back at them. "Excuse me?" Everyone looked at Bianca who was the one that spoke. "You said your powers were passed onto you." The hero sighed at her beliefs of his Quirk being that.
"I'm a hero kid. Not a magician." When finished, Izuku asked. "Wait...So you're saying, that the abilities you can give to me use to belong to somebody else?" All Might nodded as Midoriya stood on his knees. "Okay wait, hold on now this is going to be a lot to process," He began saying. "It's true that there's a lot of debate of what your Quirk actually is, nobody figured it out, it's one of the worlds greatest mysteries, people are constantly talking about it online..."
He then continued but started mumbling to himself about how it doesn't make sense to him and so on about it. Making it a bit difficult for anyone to understand him. "Sounds like he's overthinking this whole inheriting thing..." The Symbol of Piece told the others before shouting. "STOP NERDING OUT!" This brought back attention to the green-haired kid who looks up at him. "Listen, you just have to accept this reality and adapt to the truth. I can transfer my Quirk to you. And that's just one of the aspects of my secret abilities." The inside of his hand began to glow bright colors.
"The true name of my power is One...For...All..." All Might began to explain to them of the said power. "One person who proves the power that hands it off to another person. It continues to grow as it's passed along." This began to surprise the group, including Spyro who had no idea a power like One-For-All can become strong like that. "With this advanced power, it enables me to save those in need of a hero. The truth behind my strength."
He clutched his fist after explaining, which made Midoriya question. "But, why would you choose to give me a Quirk, just like that?" All Might answers. "I've been on a hunt for a worthy successor, and then I watched you jump into action while the rest of us stood idly by...Even though you may be a Quirkless fanboy, you tried your best to save that kid. You acted like a hero." He then noticed Midoriya tearing up again, making him hold in his laugh.
"Seriously, you gotta stop crying so much if you want my Quirk." Being told this, Izuku began to wipe his tears away now knowing he has to decide now, soon looking back at the others. "If this is the dream you want, make it come true!" Hunter gave a thumbs up when he finished as Sparx buzzed. "Yeah, think of it, in case you run into trouble again to save someone. You'll be ready for it." Spyro told Midoriya to translate what his friend said, encouraging him to become the hero he wanted to be. He soon gave a stern expression and a stood back on his feet, looking up at All Might. "I'll do it, yes!"
The Symbol of Peace looked at him with a mild smile at the answer. "No hesitation. That's exactly how I figure you would answer." He then tells him. "But, you're going to need a lot of training first. Two days early in the morning will begin over at the Dagobah Municipal Beach." The nine were all a bit curious about that. "Wait, why does he need to train for that Quirk mate?" The hero looked at the Kangaroo who had questioned him. "In order for him to receive my powers, he needs to prepare himself for it. After he obtains One-For-All he'll be able to use it to pass the U.A. Entrance Exam that's in 10 months."
He answered before noticing the puzzled looks on their faces. "...Haven't all of you heard about the U.A. Entrance Exam before?" Some of them shook their heads and or said, "No." except for Izuku. "This is the first time we're hearing anything about it. What's a U.A. anyways?" Spyro's asking made All Might place his hand against his forehead, covering his eyes partly as he murmured. "How am I not surprised..." He then looked at them. "Why don't we have a little walk while I explain it to you, kids."
"That sounds good with us." The humanoid dragon said as he and a few of the others stood. "Also we never got to fully introduce ourselves...All Might, right?" The said hero shushed them, looking around to make sure nobody else is around before nodding, revealing his real name. "Yes. But call me by my name when I'm out of my hero form. Toshinori Yagi." He then asked. "And what you guys?" Spyro tells him as they began walking. "Got it Toshinori. The name's Spyro." He said, pointing a thumb to himself before gesturing a hand to Sparx. "And this is Sparx." The Dragonfly buzzed, greeting the two. "You're friends with a Dragonfly? ...No way." Izuku asked looking at the said bug who nodded to him, buzzing.
"I'm Elora. And this is Hunter and Bianca." Elora said gesturing to the Cheetah and Rabbit who gave a small wave when their names were said. "What about you guys?" Midoriya asked looking back at the four who were behind the five. The Kangaroo was the first to introduce herself from the three. "Sheila's the name mates. Don't wear it out." Bentley then greeted them. "Bentley."
The Penguin raised his flipper up in salutation. "Sgt. Byrd 90068. Always awaiting orders." The Space Monkey then presents himself. "Agent 9. And this is Mr. Laser Blaster." He said pointing the Laster Blaster to them, nearly scaring Izuku to death when he noticed before Toshinori told 9. "Put the gun down. You can get yourself in trouble aiming a weapon like that in public." Agent 9 did what he was told and lowered it. After that Spyro asks. "So, about this whole Entrance Exam and U.A.? Are they important or something?"
"If you ever plan on becoming a legally classified hero here in Japan...Yes," Yagi told them before explaining. "The U.A. Entrance Exam is a written and practical test to see if you're worthy enough to become heroes. If you pass with perfect scores you can then enroll in the place itself, U.A. High School." He then looked back at the nine. "If all of you want to be heroes and protect those that are innocent, prepare yourselves for it."
After he finished Spyro told him with a brave grin. "Hey, if that's the only way we can help save lives, then count us in!" He then paused, remembering why they were in this area. "But we need a little help first before we can get ready for any of that." This made the two look back as Sgt. Byrd told them. "We're looking for a friend that was with us before we met you guys." This brought concerns to All Might and Midoriya. "Who is it that you're looking for?" Agent 9 tells them. "The Professor. We were separated when we came to this place a couple of hours ago." Toshinori was curious. "How did you get separated traveling here?"
"Ripto. He's an enemy of ours." The Faun answered. "We were attacked by him and his henchmen, and after the fight, we ended up here...We managed to find each other in this city, but we never found the Professor. We looked everywhere for him." When finished, All Might gave a hum. "I see..." He then asked. "What does he look like?" Hunter began to describe the Professor. "It shouldn't really be hard to miss him. The Professor's a mole in a lab coat wearing glasses. He also carries a notebook and a pencil with him in case he has an idea."
"A Scientist that's a mole...Shouldn't be difficult to find." The hero told them before noticing the sky becoming dark. "It's getting late...None of us will have enough time to look for this Professor." He looked back at the nine, having high doubts that they have somewhere to live at for the night. "There must be a residence nearby." Yagi then looked at Midoriya. "Hey, kid...Do you happen to live in an apartment or nearby one?" Izuku nodded. "I live in one. It's just a few blocks away...Why?" He looked at him curiously. "Your friends are going to need a place to stay at. Can't let them live out here on the streets if they're going to become heroes."
When told this, Spyro raised a brow. "Are you sure about that? You don't really have to pay for it." The Symbol of Peace looks at him. "Do you have money with you?" When asked, Spyro began to look at the pockets, that were apart of the shorts he's wearing, giving a smile as he pulls out what looked to be a large Yellow Gem. "Do they take Gems?" All Might and Izuku glanced at the Gem and looked surprised. "How did that even fit in your pocket?"
"I honestly don't know?" The humanoid dragon shrugged before handing it to All Might who pushed it back to him. "I don't think it'll be a good idea to pay them with a Gem Spyro. Just put it away and let me take care of this." Spyro shrugged and put the Gem back into his pocket before they continued towards the building. While they did Hunter whispered to Elora. "Why didn't you say anything about the portal from earlier to them?"
As the others minus All Might and Modirya listened closely she explained, whispering as well. "Remember what the Professor told us before we got separated? This is a world without portals. If we told them that we're all from another planet and came here through a portal, then they would think we're crazy or something else." When done Spyro tells them. "So, it's best that we all keep that a secret and say that we're just not from here." The Faun gives a small smile and a nod. "Exactly."
(Location: The Apartment Building)
At the front of the Apartment, the group made it to the entrance. Once they entered, Toshinori went to the front desk to the superintendent that was reading a newspaper. "Are you the manager?" He lowered the newspaper, revealing a nametag on his clothing with the word, 'Manager' above his name. "I'd like to rent an apartment for them." He pointed towards the nine that were on the left behind him, which the handler began to look at one at a time. "They're in need of a place to stay...They're also looking for someone that they lost." They noticed the man's eyes go wide as he looked at one of them in the group.
"Uh...Is he a small guy that looked like a mole in a lab coat, looks like he's bald almost?"
This surprised them. "Yes...But, how did you know he was a mole?" Elora asked before the superintendent told them. "He was here just a couple hours ago paying for a room. Mentioned something about trying to find a couple of animals and mythical creatures. I didn't hear clearly what kind, but I did hear him say something about a purple Dragon." The manager looked at Spyro when he said that. Once he finished Yagi then asked. "Could you tell us where he's at?"
"Sure." He then grabbed a piece of paper which was a copy of the apartment complex's floors and rooms, placing it on the table before pointing towards one of the top floors and the room which he circled. "He should be right here on this floor above." After handing them the paper the group looked at it as they walk away from the front desk. Upon further inspection, Izuku noticed the room's location and looked in disbelief. "Is there a problem?" He shook his head and told them. "No...It-it's just that Professor you're looking for. H-he's living next door near my residence." Sgt. Byrd spoke to them. "That is a bit ghastly...Don't you think?" As they go upstairs Izuku agreed. "Yeah...I guess so..."
(Upper Floor)
"Is this it?" They looked at the door that leads into the apartment that the Professor may be inside. "There's no doubts about it. He has to be in there." Elora told him as she went forward and knocked on the door. After a few seconds, nobody answered, Bentley then tried the same, but was much louder as the knocks echoed almost throughout the entire building. "One minute please!" A voice on the other side of the door said, sounding a bit muffled, but very familiar to Spyro. "I guess he heard that one."
Izuku looked at the Yeti, still startled by his knocks on the door. "You could've just pressed the doorbell..." He looked at the said button that was glowing. While waiting a bit, Hunter looked back at All Might, noticing he was still with them and asked out of curiosity. "Uh...Why are you still here All Might?" He nearly flinched with a bead of sweat appearing on his forehead, which the Cheetah noticed and uttered. "Oh, sorry, I mean Toshinori." After checking to make sure nobody was around to hear that, he sighed in relief.
"Please don't make that slip up again." He asked before explaining to him and the eight. "And to that answer, I'd like to meet this Professor of yours...He might be able to help you and the others get into a Junior High School for wannabe heroes. If he's able to do so, then I can train the rest of you as well for the Entrance Exam." Hunter, his girlfriend, and their friends then looked at Izuku who looked back at them. "What about you dude." He began explaining. "Oh...Well...In case we become neighbors, I want to meet the Professor too."
When he finished the sound of a lock being twisted open is heard, bringing their attention back to the door as it opened, revealing the Professor as he opens the door wide, looking the same as he was back in Avalar. "Hello?" Toshinori then moved aside allowing the Mole Scientist view of Spyro, Sparx, and the others. "Do these kids belong to you?" They waved to him as Spyro greeted. "Hey, it's good to see you're still in one piece Professor."
The said Scientist smiled as he looks up at the number one hero. "Yes, I've been looking everywhere for them. Please come in. I'll provide some refreshments while you're here." After telling them as he heads to the kitchen they all began to enter the large looking room closing the door, soon seeing that everything in it looks like it's all been renovated. The furniture in the living room itself was all futuristic. The couch, chairs, were barely touching the ground, seeming to be hovering inches from the floor, tables, shelves, and cabinets were made of wood, rubber, and metallic materials, and the list just goes on.
"When did he make all this?" Izuku said looking at the movable object before he began to mumble. "When did he even have the time to move everything in here and where did he even get it? He couldn't have brought this all with him if they were attacked during travel, even if he did it would've been difficult to move all of this by himself unless he had help moving it, but that doesn't explain-" While he muttered continuously trying to figure out how the Professor managed to do all of this in one day, everyone looked at him before Spyro shouted. "Midoriya!"
He stopped, almost startled as he looked at the dragon. "Relax. It's nothing to get worked up over." Izuku began to feel embarrassed about his mumbles. "Sorry about that. I'm just a bit surprised from...All of this." He said, looking at the furniture and everything else that the Professor made. "Well, that's the Professor to you," Agent 9 told him. "Despite his height and age, he can make anything and anything that's even impossible to create."
"Anything impossible? No way..." Spyro smiled and tells the green-haired male. "Yes, way. I mean look at most of the stuff here. You can't deny that." "You're right about that. I don't see anything fake about this." He looked over at Toshinori who said that while pushing his hand down on the couch arm, seeing the sofa itself go down before going back up into its place. "That's because I've installed Anti-Gravity settings into most of the furniture." The Mole Scientist began to head over to the group with some beverages on a tray which he placed onto the table. "How did you even manage to do all of this by yourself?" Izuku questioned the Professor who told him. "A Scientist never reveals their secrets."
After being told, Midoriya began to scratch the back of his head. "I guess that's understandable." After he finished Elora then introduces the Professor to him and All Might. "Professor. This is Izuku Midoriya and Toshinori Yagi." She gestured a hand to the two as Hunter finished for her. "We met them during the time a monster was attacking a market nearby...But we didn't really introduce each other until the aftermath of it." While he finished, Izuku went down to one knee, holding a hand out towards the Professor who shook it before telling them. "I've seen it on the news." He then looked closely at Izuku. "Aren't you the boy with green-hair that ran in to try and save that hostage?"
He then looked back at All Might and the others. Spyro waved his hand vertically signaling him to go ahead. "...Yes..." He looked back at the Professor. "That hostage was an old friend, back when we were kids...I-I couldn't just stand there and watch that villain kill him. Plus..." He looked at others, specifically Spyro and Elora. "If it wasn't for them and the others, there's no telling what would've happened to us, or anyone that was there." The Mole looked over at the two and smiled. "It sounds like you guys did the right thing." He then looked at Yagi. "Including you, All Might." This made some of them become baffled when they heard that familiar name. For Yagi, he looked like he was just hit by a straight bullet. Before they could ask how the Professor knew it was him, he answered.
"I heard you when I was coming to the door. Also if I recall All Might was wearing exactly what you have on right now."
While telling them, All Might began to look down at his clothing when he was told that. "I need to bring spare clothes next time there's a villain attack..." He thought to himself realizing someone else could find out he's All Might the next time he's back and out of his hero form during or after a villain attack and rescue. Soon the Professor began to give a small chuckle. "Don't worry, I'm not going to spill anything about your true form. I'm not a rat." After some of them gave a sigh of relief hearing that, he then asked. "But, speaking of heroes...Is there another reason why you're here?" All Might replied. "Yes...It's going to take some time to explain."
Now all sitting down at certain chairs or couches in the living room, after a little while of explaining about the U.A. Entrance Exam and a few other things, Toshinori finished telling the Professor. "That's why I wanted to see if you could help them. If you could get them in then I'll be able to help them train as well for U.A." Yagi gestured a hand to the green-haired kid himself who was writing and drawing in what looked to be a notebook that's title says, "Hero Analysis for the Future", on the front. After the gesture, the number one hero began to drink some water from the water bottle as Professor hums.
"Hmm...I think that won't be a problem," He smiled before telling them. "Before you came here, I had recently finished a job application for this School to pay the rent of this apartment. If I can have a word with the Principle there tomorrow, I could be able to get them in and sign up for U.A."
"That's good to hear." All Might gave a slight grin hearing that, finishing the water he had before looking at the clock, noticing the time. "I should be getting ready to go now. If I don't get enough rest, I won't be able to train all of you for the Exam." As he gets up from the floating couch and walks towards the door while placing the empty bottle into the nearby recycling bin. But before leaving Yagi looked back at Izuku and the others. "Remember, 2 days meet me at the Dagobah Municipal Beach, early morning."
Once finished Toshinori left the apartment, heading back home. After he left, Agent 9 looked over at Izuku who was still in his notebook, mumbling a little bit and questions. "Hey, whatcha writing there Izuku?" The Space Monkey tried to take a glimpse at the page before Izuku told him, grabbing attention from the others. "Oh, that? ...I-I'm just taking notes of everyone's Quirks and skills...It's a bit of a thing I've been doing for the past couple of years."
"Everyone? You mean us?" Midoirya nods to Bentley who then asked. "Can we see...If you don't mind?" This made the soon-to-be One-For-All user give a small smile before tilting the notebook forward a bit, allowing them to see two out of the many pages. The page on the left had a drawing of Spyro, facing forward with writing around him, while on the right page was more writing about what Izuku had told them. Reading what the writing says about Spyro's powers, they were amazed. "Whoa..." Was what some of them said before Hunter asked. "Did you do all this during the conversation?"
Midoriya spoke. "Yes...While All Might was talking to the Professor, I decided to write down what your abilities were along with the others." Hunter then noticed and asks while pointing to one of the words. "What does that mean?" Izuku looked seeing he was pointing at the words saying, "Quirk Type: Mutant", before explaining. "It means Mutant. T-That's the type of Quirk all of you have...I-I think..." A bead of sweat left his head as he explained, flipping the pages, showing them the drawings of themselves, many others, and their skills. "But the only reason I put that in is because there are three different Quirk types. Emitter. Transformation. And Mutant...I-If you have any critter, plant, extra-organic or non-organic traits or features, then Mutant's your Quirk type."
"Oh...Now that makes a lot of sense," Spyro said before asking. "But what about Emitter and Transformation?" Before Izuku could tell them what it was, a buzz-like noise was heard, which lead to him digging into his pocket, taking out a phone before reading what it said before he shouted in thought. "I missed 5 calls from Mom?!" His eyes became wide in shock, which was very noticeable. "Izuku, Are you ok?" Sheila asked before he stood up. "YES!"
This practically frightened Sheila and a few of the others, which he realized before telling them in a calm tone. "I-I mean, yes...I'm-I'm fine...I just need to go back to my apartment, right now..." He stutters before putting his notebook and pencil away into his backpack leaving as he looked back, giving a worried looking smile. "See you all again later!" He then left their apartment, closing the door behind him before going to his apartment. Everyone just gazed at the shut door, puzzled and curious before Agent 9 glanced over at the Professor.
"So Professor, are we going to be able to go back to our worlds soon or what?"
When questioned, the Professor looked at his notes and began scratching his head with the eraser of his pencil. "Um, well...There's good news and bad news about that." The group looked at him as he gave a slight smile. "The good news is that thanks to this world having some of the same materials like the ones back home, I can be able to make another Portal here like the one back in the Winter Tundra."
"What's the bad news?" Bianca asked which caused the Professor's smile to fade. "Oh, uh...The bad news is, it might take a couple of years or so until the Portal's complete." He looked at his notes, flipping a page before showing all of them the drawing of the Portal he'll be making. "Unlike the Portal back in Avalar, this Portal will be a bit more challenging to make this time. But if we're able to find some of the Orbs that have made it here into this world with us, there might be a 50% chance that it would activate the portal, therefore allowing us to go back home sooner than later."
Hunter asks. "And the other 50% means...?" Professor nods. "If it doesn't work, we're going to have no choice but to take longer and find all of the Orbs." After telling them, they all stood silent for a moment. During this, they began to wonder what it'd be like, lingering in this new world for a couple of years away from some of their allies and or family back at their home(s).
Soon the silence was disrupted by the hero of those homeworlds from before, who gave out a sigh. "Listen everyone. I know we all want to try and find a way to get back to our home soon, but we know there may be a chance that won't happen." Some of them began to look down knowing that's possibly true.
"But we can't let that keep us down. We've traveled to different realms away from ours before for days, I'm sure that we can endure this new world for a few years or so." His friends began to perk up from hearing that part, realizing Spyro is right. What harm could be done by staying longer in a world they've never been at before? They continued to listen to the purple hero.
"Plus we still have Ripto, Crush, and Gulp to take care of since they're somewhere in this world too, including Moneybags. We can't go back knowing they'll be here trying to take over this world or scam others out of their money...Unless it's on the villains." He said, having doubts Moneybags will help either side as he proceeds. "But besides that, no matter what happens to us...No matter how long it takes to find those Orbs...We will find a way back to all of those we know in love, and we will make it through this world together!" Spyro then looked at his arm and began to slowly clutch his fist. "Even if it means to blend in with our new forms and become heroes again."
Some of the group started to give a smile from hearing his encouraging yet brief speech. "You're right about that Spyro." Said Elora with Hunter agreeing. "Yeah. We've all been there for one another when we needed it. But now it's about time we stick together for this one." After telling him others began to agree as well. When that was all done, Bentley then asked with a grin. "Alright now, while we're here living in this...Apartment for a while, what should we do until the second morning for the training?"
His question was answered by the Professor who walked over to each of them, gently placing what looked to be organized clothing, almost similar color to what they were wearing, but in pajama form on their laps or hands as they grabbed them. "First, all of you should go shower and get some sleep for the rest of the night." He calmly told them while gesturing his hands over to the wide hallway with five doors. Three of them, bedrooms and the two of them, bathrooms.
"Okay...Any particular reasons you want us to do that?" Professor looked at Byrd and answered him and the others while adjusting his glasses. "Tomorrow morning everyone is going to need to be up for something influential that needs to be done before the time comes for your training and the first day of Junior High School." He then told them as he moved out of the way towards the hallway. "Now go and settle yourselves in for the night. I'll explain everything once you're awake by then." Without question, the group began to pass by the Mole as they went to get ready for a nice night long rest.
(One of the Apartment Bedrooms)
Hours after a shower, a change of clothes, and picking what 2 bedrooms they could sleep in except for the Professors bedroom that was in between the two, the nine friends were inside their said rooms, laying in their beds for the night. Bentley, Shiela, Agent 9, and Sgt. Byrd were in the room on the left of the hallway while Spyro, Sparx, Elora, Hunter, and Bianca were in the right, both bedrooms having 2 bunk beds each. In the bedroom on the right, Spyro who's on the bottom bunk on the left side of the room was rolled up, trying to sleep.
"Ugh..."
The purple Dragon groaned and began to toss and turn while trying to curl himself almost like a ball, questioning himself quietly as Sparx, who's at the foot of his bed and the others who are in their beds and, or rooms, were asleep. "Why is it so difficult to go to sleep now?" A well-known voice answered in an almost tired-like tone, hearing him. "Because your body, arms, and legs aren't the same as they were back home..."
He looked over to the right side, seeing Elora facing up at the ceiling of the bunk bed she's in while looking over at him, her arms above the sheet that covers the rest of her figure. "That's why." Spyro raised a brow. "How long were you awake?" The said Faun shrugged a little before turning her head to him, giving a bit of a small smile.
"I...Don't know? I guess it was a few minutes ago." After telling the purple hero, Spyro began to uncurl himself, which Elora noticed. "Try and lay on your bed like I am." He looked over at her puzzled, causing a blush to appear on Elora's face in a matter of seconds, realizing her choice of words.
"Why Did I Say It Like THAT?!"
She thought before telling him. "I mean, lay on your bed like how I'm laying on mine...It won't hurt to try something new, right?" The Faun laughed a bit nervously, which the Dragon didn't bother to question as he started to do what she said. Digging himself into the sheets that were below him before poking his head out from the top, laying it on the pillow while looking over at his friend.
"Like this?" She nodded to him to answer before seeing Spyro looking at the sheets that cover his body. "Are you okay Spyro?" He gave a nod to her. "Yeah. It's just...It's going to be a while for me to adapt to my new body here and this world. Standing on my two legs, wearing clothes and all."
"Tell me about it," Elora responded in agreement. "It's really going to feel weird having to wear shorts now...And getting used to lacking some of the furs on my body." She uttered the last part to herself, remembering when she found out about that not too long ago, causing her to shiver a bit from the memory.
"What?"
"Nothing." Elora said while looking away to hide her blush. "Let's...Just get some sleep before we wake the others by mistake." Spyro gave a chuckle with a smile. "I couldn't agree more on that." The two began to lay back in their beds before looking one last time at each other for the night. "Night Spyro." He replied back before the two of them fell asleep. "Night Elora."
(Meanwhile)
Somewhere far from where the heroes of the three Worlds are now, the familiar orange villain and his minions, Ripto, Crush and Gulp were walking down the streets at night with the Riptoc's Scepter lowered, grumbling to himself in anger.
Ever since they had fallen into this country earlier today, known as Musutafu Japan, they ended up failing to find out where their enemies were after being chased down by a few what Ripto would like to say, quote-unquote heroes, for threatening a couple of civilians with his magical staff and helpers whenever he heard them joking about his "menacing" size or "toy" wand.
Out of luck, they've somehow managed to lose the heroes after an eruption of fire not-so-far from them caught them off guard, allowing him to make a quick getaway before they could even turn to see where the three had gone. While Ripto continued muttering to himself with his minions by his side, they were unaware of a certain figure, wearing a black hoodie, pants, and shoes that was walking past him.
As Ripto began to give a low growl, the unknown figure ceased walking and turned slightly towards the diminutive villain and his allies. Despite the anonymous' face being hidden by the hood itself, one of their red seemingly glowing eyes somehow was visible, looking straight at Ripto, hearing his sentences.
"...This is just great...First We failed our revenge on that no good Dragon and now we're on the run thanks to those worthless heroes!" The hatred on heroes in the Riptoc's sentence got the figures full attention now, causing what looked to be a wicked grin to form on the figures face as he turned towards Ripto who looked down at the red crystal of his Scepter before raising it in anger, which the two minions looked up at.
"I swear if I ever see any of them again I'll-"
He was then cut off by a cough. "Excuse me...Orange one." He, Gulp and Crush then turned towards the sinister-sounding tone, looking directly at the hooded figure, revealed to be male from the voice. "I happened to have overheard you mentioning something about heroes...Am I correct?" Ripto scoffs at the question. "Yeah, what would you like to know about it? Had to worry about one hero ruining my plans for domination, now I have to deal with many others trying to put us in captivity."
"Another villain that's striving to take over the world? ...Interesting." The hooded figure thought before telling him. "Sounds like you and your boys were having a lot of trouble because of them...Just like the rest of us villains." Ripto did not answer back with Crush and Gulp looking at one another before looking at the figure who then continued. "How would you like to make all those problems go away and accomplish those goals?"
He said to directly to the Riptoc who began to hum as an evil grin began to form on his face while he said. "I'm listening." The figure seemed satisfied with the answer and held out a pale looking hand to the short villain. "Join me then in the League of Villains," He said in his cold voice. "If we work co-operatively...I help you, and you help me, we'll get what we want...The end of all our enemies...Full control of the world...Anything that we desire..."
Ripto looks down at the dead-looking hand. "So...What do you say?" The unknown person asked in his cold tone when the Riptoc looked back at him before looking at his two Dinosaur allies. In a matter of seconds, the short villain chuckled before grabbing the pale hand with his free hand, shaking it. "Count, Us, In!" The figure began to let go after the deal. "Excellent...Now, follow me...We have some work to do before we begin..." He told them as he walks away with the three following. Ripto who's on top of Gulps head thought to himself, keeping a smirk on his face as he looked at the dark sky.
"Just you wait, Dragon! Next time we meet again...I shall show you and your friends No Mercy!"
Dante Watterson: And there you have it, 3rd Chapter of the story released. I know it's been almost a month since I've released the next chapter, but that was only because of the release of both the Resident Evil 2 Remake and Kingdom Hearts 3 video game. I got a little caught up in the both of them, but I've managed to come back here and continue on this story. As you see now, Spyro and his friends were now given the news by the Professor that it might take a while for all of them to make it home to their friends and family thanks to Ripto. Now that they're staying, in order for them to keep being the heroes that they truly are, they're going to need to train for the U.A. Entrance Exam, pass this Junior High School they'll be going too, make friends and allies along the way, and pass the Exam to make it into U.A High School. And now unawaring to them, Ripto, Crush, and Gulp have not only had a run in with some of the heroes in Musutafu Japan due to their misbehavior to the noncombatants, Quirkless or not, they have also joined the League of Villains as well. And Just for a bit of a heads up, the next chapter will probably be a fuse of both episodes 3 and 4, depending on how I make it.
Also to those that have been asking me about all of Spyro's powers, from what I have said in the reviews to one of you, I'm thinking about it. Even though I have already planned for Spyro to use the powers he had used in the Reignited Trilogy, some of which he'll have and that he'll only use from the Orbs, I will see if I can at least add in some of the elements he had in the other games or not, except fire because he already has it of course. And if you're wondering, no, he won't have the elements now, but yes, he will get them in certain ways later. Enjoy this chapter as I begin the 4th one.
