My Hero Academia Opening - The Day 【English Dub Cover】Song by NateWantsToBattle
You see the sun rise
A new day is upon you
You bite your nails and
Your knees start to tremble
The time is upon you
To show them what you can do
And soon they will know that
THE DAY HAS COME!
Late into the night
I hear it storming
An end to the rain
Is what I pray
And I'm hoping
Now I feel the pressure of the city
Oh, how it eats me whole
So many names and faces
Sleepless nights
Spent in unknown places
And everyday I walk
Straight into the great unknown
I'm not to blame
I'm gonna take a stand
You say my name
I'm telling you to reach out and
Finally take my Hand
Colliding fist
They'er what's gonna make you
You grit your teeth or
They'er gonna break you
The time is upon you
To show them what you can do
You're breaking the mold
To show you're not them
will we break through?
I don't know don't know
The bells are ringing
come out and play now
The time is upon you
To show them what you can do
And soon the will know that
THE DAY HAS COME!
Ryo vs the Xenoverse
Chapter 38: Fight for the Future! (Part 1)
Ryo was having breakfast in his apartment with his gang and friends were all geeked up about him getting Super Saiyan Blue. The mood was rather jovial considering Demigra was around the corner. The television was set to the local news, and what Amethyst said next got them to stop. The fact that Chronoa stated that Ryo qualified for the "Final Exam". Trunks nearly choked on his food, Bulma looked mortified, and Mai fell out of her seat.
"What's the final exam?" Tadashi asked.
"It's a test to determine if you qualify for Elite Time Patroller rank. At least, in this version, there's a bit of a ranking system in a similar way to how missions are ranked. For patrollers who do direct combat, the lowest rank is at D and the highest is A. Since Ryo were Chronoa's personal choice, Ryo were kept in the dark about it." Trunks admitted. "However, there's one more rank. Rank S, the Elite Class. The only to get it is to succeed her test. I'm the only S rank patroller here, and I was drafted into the position. "
"Wait, we have ranks?!" Michiko said slamming her hands on the table.
Mai lazily brought up the rank list of a few of them.
Hana "Hatchin" Malandro – A
Soon Daimoh – A
Kale von Satsu – B
Caulifla von Satsu – B
Erasa Rubber – A
Tadashi von Satsu – B
Takeshi von Satsu – A
Taoretta von Satsu - A
The list went on, and Caulifla looked indignant of being outranked by Erasa. Michiko was sad yet impressed her daughter was among the highest ranked. Ryo was silent at first but got up after finishing his breakfast. Putting the place in the sink, he went into his room. It was all quiet for a few moments before Ryo came out in his X Fighter's Gi and geared up.
"Bring on the final test." He said leaving the apartment.
(Cues: One Piece OST – Overtaken)
I walked the streets in utter silence and it seemed many people stopped what they were doing to follow me. It did not matter to me in the slightest. What mattered was Chronoa was administering a final test of my skill. I wanted to see this through. Even though I had done the impossible and had nothing to prove, I wanted to take this final test whatever it may be. I had trained practically under every available master except for Jaco, Goku, and Beerus. It was only a matter of time before she called this. I arrived at the Time Nest to find Chronoa waiting for me with a serious look on her face.
(Music Ends)
"Patroller Nazo, you have done an excellent job in your service to Time Patrol. Your tour of duty has shown you are a warrior and leading prodigy. You have proven yourself well worthy of A rank after your battle with Shadlyn." Chronoa said warmly. "And now it's time for the final test. It hasn't even been a year yet, and you rose though the ranks with few losses to your name. For them, I commend you."
As the people clap, I think on her words. Of all the words to describe me, she's the first to call me a prodigy. My old man never called me that…then again, he left us to raise ourselves to hump our mother. If anything, it was my younger sister and half-brother who were consider "prodigies". My older brother had his weapon making, but I had nothing. Didn't help that my relationship with my siblings was practically hanging at the seams. To hear someone call me a prodigy was the hardest thing to hear. I had to fight not to shed tears to see all this.
"Then there's the matter of the final test. Normally, one would have to train under all the masters before getting considered for this, but it's been I test you before we deal with Demigra." Chronoa said earnestly. "So, you will have one opponent to face."
"Who will it be?" was the thought on everyone's minds as I looked around. I wondered who Chronoa was going to bring to the table.
"And that opponent will be….me." Chronoa said with no hint of humor in her voice. "Let's just say, you're not the only one who can transform. Like you, I've broken the limits and obtained a form of legend. You're not dealing with the average Shinjin."
Oh…I had a bad enough feeling. Considering Soon was about to use the form Dragon Ball Heroes, who knew what Chronoa had? She opened a hole in space-time and I entered with her. It seems she specifically picked a moldable mirror world for us to fight in.
"Just to let you know, most of the multiverse is going to see our fight, but you already know that." Chronoa said cracking her knuckles.
"That I do. Let's just give our friends and adversaries a show." I said taking a stance.
"Maybe I'll get that other Chronoa to work on getting this form, it'll blow Towa's figure out of the water." Chronoa said confidently. "I won't hold anything back."
I nodded in acceptance, and a bright light shines over her. I feel time bending and twisting as energy around her. It's a bit blinded at first, but it hastily fades. I'll have to say. If you went to someone and you asked what the Supreme Kai of Time would have looked like, they'd assume this is how she would like.
The adult form she had before paled compared to this one. There was just a more regal feel to this one. She grew a taller and more mature appearance pretty much matching Trunks' height. Her hair cascaded down to her lower back, and her outfit's colors into white and yellow looking less casual from her normal wear. He had a glowing a halo behind her hand resembling a clock, with the hands points at ten and two respectively.
"This is the Power of Time Unleashed." Chronoa said readying herself. "I actually have to thank you and Soon. Never thought I could get this transformation until you started pulling from the Heroes library."
Well crap.
"Taking all bets! Taking all bets!" Takeshi said smugly. "I got 500k zeni on my boss winning this fight."
Bets were made, but with most siding with Chronoa. Most had felt she was too much, and the sentiment seemed to carry over to Pearl's world as well. Amaya was banking half of her family fortune on Ryo, citing she'd gut him if he lost. Hirohito was hoping Ryo won so he could buy his own room or at least make his sister get soundproof walls. Elsewhere, Rebecca watched from headquarters hedging her own bet against Ryo out of spite. All and all, everyone was going to be in for a show.
(Cues: Dragon Ball Z: Budōkai Tenkaichi 2 - "Lonesome Wind")
Chronoa and Ryo do not waste time as they collide in midair three while shockwaves emitting from the two of them. Chronoa feints a double-kick to get Ryo to roll out of the way. Grabbing Ryo, she threw him underground. She hovers in the air for a moment only for Super Saiyan Ryo to break down of the ground and backhand her away. In the air, she regains her balance stopping herself from hitting a side of a mountain floating upward. Right on time, she gracefully ducked Ryo's flying kick which hit the mountain.
"Allow me to show you how to properly volley an enemy." Chronoa said punching Ryo upwards.
Ryo was a human paddleball before volleyed between the wall and her fist several times before getting a deck to the face sending him through the mountain and into the dirt. Ryo had sprung up only to hastily dodge an incoming energy blast and slid back.
(Cues: Naruto: Clash of Ninja 2 - Konoha Gate ~Clash of Ninja 2 Ver.~)
The two charged at each other coming a clash of legs as they exchanged kicks at such speeds to make them strong enough to tear through solid stone as if it was paper. The shockwaves and parries tore up the land. Ryo knew he needed to back off a bit to plan his next few moves. Returning to base form to converse energy, he gave the Kai a Solar Flare before disappearing.
"Fuck! My eyes!" Chronoa screamed out. "I should have seen that coming!"
Using her control of time, she "fast forwarded" her eyes to clear the blindness in seconds, but Ryo was a no show. Chronoa sighed and began her search for him.
"So, Ryo is recuperating? Interesting." Amaya noted.
Ryo, on the other hand, was hiding in the midst of a city. Much to the surprise of everyone, he laid traps all over the city and was meditating in the middle of it. He sensed her coming, and smirked. Chronoa could sense his energy now, but she was confused why he suddenly raised his energy up. The moment she walked down the street, a trap was triggered. She dodged the arrows with finesse only to get nailed with a pie to the face.
(Music Suddenly Ends)
"A pie, this isn't a cartoo-" Chronoa said before the pie exploded in her face. "Really….just really?"
Even if she was rooting for Chronoa to kick his ass, Rebecca had to give Ryo points for that.
"That's it!" Chronoa said using control of time to peer into the future to see all the traps. "Time's up for you."
Chronoa used Instantaneous Movement to deck Ryo right in the jaw getting him to stagger. Ryo returned the favor only to feel Chronoa zip out of the way much faster than he thought she could. The two exchanges, powering through direct hits and dodging as many as they could.
"Damn it, she's predicting my moves. I need to gather information on how to better fight her." He thought.
So, Ryo fought dirty by using Iron Body to on his leg to kick Chronoa between hers'. Of course, Chronoa had the bright idea to kick him in his oversized crotch as well. The two's faces contorted before slowly walking backwards each other before screaming their lungs out.
Rebecca was laughing so hard at the sudden turn of events that she held her chest to stop herself from overworking her heart.
Chronoa fell to her knees holding her crotch in agony and glaring daggers at Ryo. Ryo glared back but had a silent retort. Smoke bombs blinded her eyes as Ryo give the woman the slip again.
"I'll give him credit. He's conversing his energy while readying himself for the final thought." Amaya thought. "You need to win, Ryo!"
Ryo had decided to tear his way to another world.
(A/N: On the day this "episode" premiered on Interdimensional Cable, this following scene would have been purposefully cut out of the broadcast. Reruns would put this scene back in.)
-(OU-Jidoor 6 (Moon Planet Zozo-6)-*
Zozo-6 was a moon planet and a sub planet to the universe's main planet Locke-6. Zozo-6 was the "garbage planet", being the easy and cheap situation to deal with crime, the poor, and the mentally ill by heaping them all on a planet together. However, on a lavish home within the town, two devious foes were finalizing the plan.
"I have to admit that spreading vampirism here was ingenious. The mentally ill were rather easy to manipulate, and we got 1000 of them ready to fight for us." Yuu said picking his fangs with a toothpick. "But why are we still here?"
"To make the finishing touches for last resort. I was recommended a forbidden warper technique in case anything went wrong." Shadlyn said keying away at a computer. "However, even if we don't win, I have a plan."
Two large pods were set up and both closed completely shut with the Zangyaku insignia painted on the doors.
"I've already put DNA within them both and a base body. All we need is the finishing touch, a piece of us." Shadlyn said darkly before getting up.
Opening up on the both pods' sides were small hatches with what looked like an ordinary burner inside. A small white fireball came up on Shadlyn's hand bearing her Flames or Creation, and Yuu did the same as they lit the burners. The small flame grew as the hatches closed and the tubes gave her a powerful heat.
"Excellent." Shadlyn remarked.
"So, what exactly was that technique and if it's a technique, why all the equipment?" Yuu asked hotly. "I felt a piece of me torn away because of it."
"First off, the equipment is because I don't have the time to do the technique the traditional way. Second, I can't say it's true name or else she'll slay me for it. Let's give say, it's life insurance." Shadlyn said nervously before perking up. "Now, there's one last thing to do. Absorb a God of Destruction."
Yuu raised an eyebrow and she walked to a closet saying that she had call a favor.
"I had to fuck all ten of those bounty hunters and pay a hell of a lot of money for them, but it was worth it." Shadlyn said opening the closest.
Tumbling out was a restrained Heles, the God of Destruction of Dragon World's Universe 2. She looked beaten up severely and was even gagged. She screamed as Shadlyn slowly absorbed her into her Majin body. The effect was a bit more horrifying than when she normally absorbs someone.
(Cues: One Piece Unlimited Cruise - Rampaging Chopper Theme)
She had to run outside before collapsing to her knees screaming in pain with her face painfully contorting. Her body was forcibly mutating her form to appear slenderer. Destructive energy surged through her veins forming the flame like tribal marks once again. Shadlyn's eyes had shifted to a greenish hue and her lips had devil red lipstick. She forced herself up and had started giggling before going into full-blown mad laughter. Those weren't vampire slaves to the duo began running for the hills.
"Shadlyn, you all right?" Yuu asked. "I'm getting really sick of asking that."
"Yuu, my friend. We bring the end of Pearl's world sooner than they'll expect." Shadlyn said with maddening glee. "And I want to personally erase every member of her family in front of her and Ryo."
Absorbing Heles had a steep price. While Shadlyn got a huge power boost, her mind was shifted. She had neglected to tell those hunters to get a Heles that was not a warper. Shadlyn was essentially on a "runner's high" and was forgetting what happened the last time she tried to piss off Ryo. This was not going to end well.
(Music Ends)
I had chosen one of the Ruined City stages to make this the final arena for this fight. I had done some research on this form of her, and I did not get much. Considering she's not completely canon, the information's pretty much close to useless. All I did get was she has complete control of time, and I had to deal with that. I powered up to Super Saiyan Blue and cracked my knuckles. A flash of light appears in the sky as Chronoa appears as she floats down to face me.
"This ends here." I said clipping my BlackTab on my side. "There's nowhere else to run, but no one to get in my way."
The multiverse was ready to see them both finally go all out. Chronoa had powered up and had a smile on her face. She knew that look on his face. He was ready to fight at last.
(A/N: And we end here, yes, I'm splitting this one up. It's late, and plus this was overdue. Either way, what I have planned for the fight will be a surprise. Either way, after that fight, I'll be doing to Demigra right away. So, don't miss it!)
