Chapter 8:
200 years into the past.
? POV
You've finally done it. After months of experimenting on live humans, you've successfully created the first sentient Nomu. It turns out that you've overlooked the one thing any Nomu lacks, a quirk that gives the user Super Intelligence. Of course, you also gave him Super Strength, and speed akin to a train. The interesting quirk that you did give him was… something else. You've gave him Corruption which basically turns any corpse into a mindless slave hence the name. You only had one problem with him. He escaped his cell and is nowhere to be found. No matter, these so called vigilantes will be able to deal with him quickly if they decided to work together. You simply had to make your Nomus more obedient to you.

Zech's POV:
You and your wife are with your friends, All Might, the number one hero in the world and Lancelot, the number 2 hero in the world. You're currently investigating what seems to be a lead to one of All for One's possible minion, "The Archon". The said person may have migrated all the way to Europe a long time ago while All for One stayed in Japan. "WAHAHAHAHA This is a pretty good lead towards this "Archon". says the Japanese Superman. Only a few have known All Might's secret and you were lucky enough to know the truth. This All for One fellow does sound like trouble but to think that your enemy, The Archon, have some connections to him? The Archon really needs to be stopped at this point. To your surprise, he had 4 quirks that you've known of; Super Strength, a speed quirk, Super Intelligence, and a quirk that turns corpses into loyal slaves against their will. This won't be easy.
5 hours into the future.
Zech's POV:
You were right. You were FUCKING right. It was a trap. It doesn't matter if the 4 of you stealthily walked into the Archon's base. It won't matter when more than 40 undead hero slaves ambushed you. "MOTHERFUCKER, THIS IS GETTING BAD!" you punched another undead slave before powerbombing it into the dirt. "YOU DON'T SAY?!" Lancelot was busy cutting up 3 slaves. "WATCH OUT!" there was a hurricane which quickly cleared very slave in the room. Damn, One For All.
"We can't stay here, we have to retreat. We just barely got out of that." your wife was right. It will be best to go back and think of a better plan.
"Not so fast….. HEROES." you recognize that voice anywhere. He's here.
"Motherfucking… we gotta get out fast. NOW!" it was too late. You, Lancelot, and Maria where blown away after getting caught off guard.
"Tsk. Tsk. Too bad, Zech. I thought you'd never let your guard down around me. Greetings, All Might. It's good to have you tonight. I know why you're here. Sorry to disappoint you but I no longer have anything to do with All For One. He might have been my creator but I am no longer his to control." that grin of his sent a chill down your spine. The killing intent was always there. Truly a monster.
"That may be true, but you know where he is, don't you?" All Might was somehow still smiling though you could see him shift uncomfortably. "If it means to know that he falls… fine, I will tell you. The price is…. well you won't even be alive when you find him. He's currently based at the Saitama Prefecture in Japan. Warehouse 714."
"I didn't expect YOU to be cooperative." you snapped at him though he didn't even flinch. "Oh trust me, my dear friend. I wanted to witness his downfall just as much as All Might. Then again, I'll make it hard for you to escape." Moving at a fast speed, you barely blocked his attack. Maria fired her laser at him though he easily ducked away. You connected with a punch to the stomach before making a run for it with the rest of the crew.
"We got your info, All Might! Time to run!" you were so close to the exit. You decided to collapse the building by punching down the support beams. That would surely slow him down. You were wrong. You didn't notice that your wife was flying behind you.
"AAAHHHHH!" you looked with pure horror as you recognize that voice.
"No…. NO! NOT HER!"
You haven't kept your eye on him. You didn't know he was THAT fast.
"Too bad, she was too slow." He punched her right through her heart. She managed to turn around and shoot a laser beam on him pushing him back. "R-run….."
"I-I can't leave you here! I will never leave you! Come on Maria, you can't let your kids grow up without a mother!"
"I c-can't let m-my kids g-grow up without a-a p-parent." blood was now coming out of her mouth. You tried to grab her hand but she flew into the opposite direction with her angelic wings. "I'll h-hold him off….."
"COME BACK HERE! PLEASE!"
"IT'S TOO LATE! DON'T LET HER DEATH BE IN VAIN, DAMMIT!"
"I AM SO SORRY, MY FRIEND!"
"NOOOO!"
You all stood there to mourn for her but continued to retreat. You really hated the realization of becoming a single father but you have to do it. For her and for your boys.
8 years into the future
Zech's POV:
"He ATTACKED the Carnival. He knew my son was there. He wanted to hurt me a lot more than he already had." you crossed your arms while trying to figure out how to deal with this in your office with Lancelot, still the no. 2 hero in the world.
"Why did you even let him join the Carnival?" Lancelot ponders while having his hand on his face.
"He wanted it and I thought it was for the best. The life of a hero was dangerous. Worst of all, he saw his mother. That bastard turned her into one of his undead slaves." you slammed your fist on the desk which left a mark. You looked up when you heard the door open.
"Hey, uh… Pops, can I come in?"
"Sure, boy. What do you want? You feel…. better right?"
"I feel a lot better." there was a long pause. Nobody spoke up for a solid 3 minutes.
"So that's Ma, huh?" so it seems that he had figured it out. Not the smartest boy but it's good to know that his brother is rubbing off of him. "Yes…"
"I guess I want to go back to the Carnival." you were about to protest against the idea but it seems like he isn't finished talking.
"I'll go back when this is all over. For now, I want to be a hero." it seems your greatest fear have come through. You know when this boy becomes serious he will stop at nothing until he gets what he wants. You still had to try though, "Are you sure? You just saw the dangers of being a hero out there. You DIED. It was a good thing your quirk manifested at that moment."
"That's why he's got a bro to keep him in check." Rien…. your eldest son. It seems that he's been listening. He's always been a little too curious and a lot too smart for his own good. Unfortunately, he's not yet manifesting his quirk. The doctors said that both your sons are gonna be late bloomers. Carlos won that race first. "Don't worry, dad. I'm here to keep lil' bro in check. Hell, I'll even teach him how to fight. Maybe make him use his circus tricks as a fighting style. That'll catch those mofos off guard." He does make a point but you still wouldn't let your sons become heroes.
"Look, Pops, I'm really fuckin' uncomfortable over the fact that I practically saw nothing when I died but…. I can't just sit back and relax knowing Ma is a motherfuckin' zombie. I want to beat the motherfucker who made her like this. I'm not the only one either. My friends, the carnies, are gonna find their own ways to find and beat that guy. Mr. Compress is going undercover for fuck's sake." Rien nods in agreement. You weren't shock about your son's reasoning. You did overhear the carnies stopping the shows to give the Archon some payback.
"I'll allow it BUT you can't stay here. Not when He's out near. I'm gonna call in a favor with an old friend. If he agrees, you're going to Japan."
"I still want to go to Knights of Valor Academy, though. Just, not in General Studies anymore."
"I know."
"Well shit, I was planning to go to UA."
"Oh my gah, We'll figure things out. For now, you're going to the same Middle School in Japan."
"Don't worry Pops, Me and Rien are gonna take heroics seriously."
You sighed knowing what was coming. "You better promise that you'll take this seriously."
"I swear on my motherfuckin' soul, I will."
Present Day
Izuku's POV:
"THE POWER OF THE MIRTHFUL MESSIAHS COMPELS YOU, MOTHERFUCKIN' POSSESED SWORD!" your best friend have been screaming that for 2 minutes while throwing Faygo at Frey's supposed sword.
"Hey, Hey, What did I do?" says the sword. Wait. "That sword can talk?!" you suddenly backed away fearing that it might be a cursed weapon.
"DON'T WORRY MOTHERFUCKERS, I GOT THIS!" Carlos then proceeds to chuck an entire container filled with anointed water on the sword.
"CALM THE FUCK DOWN!" you didn't expect to hear that scream from Becky.
"Jeezes Crust, Carlos! Calm down. I just bound Frey's sword to Frey on Jolena's request."
"YOU DID WHAT?!" Frey shots up suddenly caring about the situation at hand. He had a weird accent when he's angry.
"JOLENA, YOU BITCH!" instead of fear, Carlos is now on the floor laughing hard. You don't really know if this was his mood swings or just a normal turn of emotions. Either way, it's worrying.
You swore you could hear Jolena laughing from the 3rd floor.
"Okay, piss-muffins. What the hell is going on he-" Sir Chad abruptly stops speaking when he sees spilled anointed water, and faygo together with Carlos on the floor, a talking sword, and a really accent heavy Frey screaming at the Spanish girl. "Nevermind, I ain't dealing with this. Just clean this up after those two love birds are done arguing, okay? Actually I'll get those two love birds to clean up this mess."
"WE'RE NOT LOVE BIRDS!" Frey and Jolena both screamed. Jolena apparently heard that even when she was on the third floor. Weird.
An hour and a half of two non-love birds cleaning the mess later…..
"Dammit Carlos, why did you think it was a good idea to throw some shitlist drink and anointed water at the floor AND my sword."
"Bloody hell, if you've been from where I used to work at, you would've believe that THAT sword is motherfuckin' possessed. Why do you even need a fuckin' sword anyway and what's with that weird accent?"
"The sword was a family heirloom or some shit. Except I stole it from my dad."
"Why the motherfuck would you even steal from your pops?"
"Kicked me out. Lived with Grandma. She enrolled me here. Decided to get back at him by stealing his prized possession. Not really important."
"Why did he kick you out?"
"Anyways, my accent came from Boston. Why Boston and not something from Norway? Grandma always said the Boston was the center of the fuckin' universe or whatever the hell our ancestors meant. Vikings are weird, man." Frey was ignoring the question as if it was never asked. And you though YOU had issues with your missing dad.
"You didn't answer my other question…."
"Anyways, amigos. And Frey. It's night time and Frey just wasted a good hour by screaming at me." Jolena just finished up scrubbing the floor.
"Maybe you shouldn't touch my stuff."
"Oh we haven't gone down to THAT level yet~"
"Ugh, I'm going to my room. See ya tomorrow, guys."
"Night, brother. Welp, Izubro, I'm gonna get some shuteye. Ya'll do the same. We got a lot of shit tomorrow." Carlos walked back to his room which is conveniently beside yours.
"Good night, Carlos."
Well this was a short chapter. Nah, I don't really mind if it was short. My cousin saw me writing this and asked if I was gonna give Izuku One For All. I won't for some reasons
1. He's only gonna go back to Japan a few times.
2. All Might would have already found a new protege at that point.
3. Imagine Izuku with One For All. No, it's not Super Strength and Matter Manipulation.
I fucking refuse to believe that One For All is just… that. One For All being a boring super strength quirk? Naaahhhh. As explained, I think it was explained that way, One for All is stockpiling of POWER and passing it down to the next user. Strength is a bit different from POWER btw. You could say a Politician is powerful but you wouldn't say he's got the strength to lift a fucking truck. I wanted to think that One For All enhances the fucking quirk. Like, imagine Kaminari with One For All. His fucking Electricity will turn you to ash at this point. Todoroki with One For All could probably solve AND cause Global Warming if he wanted to. He'll be making another Antartica or shit like that. Kirishima would literally be indestructible with One For All. The only reason All Might and Izuku got Super Strength is because they were quirkless. There were no quirks to enhance so they decided, "Hey, why not enhance the physical abilities instead?". Now, imagine Izuku's Matter Manipulation with One For All. You already saw that he can reshape objects, right? Now imagine if One For All turned Matter Manipulation into Atomic Manipulation. He could reconstruct his fucking Genes and take away his quirk's limits. Hell, He can create his own fucking quirk. HE CAN RESHAPE ANYONE INTO A PIECE OF SHIT. A LITERAL, PIECE. OF. SHIT. HE COULD PROBABLY TURN MINETA AND BAKUGOU INTO A DECENT HUMAN BEING FFS.
So, yeah Matter Manipulation enhance by One For All would be very fucking god like. I would like to avoid another god-like character. We already had the Curdo brothers for that. But that's just speculation. No need to agree if you don't.
Anyways, next chapter is gonna be costume design and first part of Battle Training. Let's see how Frey would put his newly alive sword to good use. And yes, I am a fan of Magnus Chase, in case you asked about the sword and Frey.
Imagine the Sword with Bill's voice. Yeah maybe I'll name the sword Bill. Why not?
