A couple that will go down in legend
Chapter fourteen: The field trip part one: Gold of the Sacred Heritage
One well enough afternoon over at the Heights Alliance dorm building located on U.A. grounds, Izuku Midoriya was in his dorm room, using his computer to look something up. The green-eyed boy, his curiosity and wonder driving him, was looking into a certain matter, a matter that he and his fellow U.A. students were explicitly told by Aizawa-sensei and various other teachers to NOT look into. But Izuku could not help himself; he just had to know about what it was that the teachers and other U.A. staff members were going through such lengths to keep on the low and low from him and the other students.
Very recently, the rival class of Izuku's class 1-A, that rival class being 1-B, had gone on an international field trip over to the United States, to a town in Michigan called Royal Woods. While there, 1-B student Ibara Shiozaki did something to prompt a local girl to fly into a berserker Viking rage. Luckily for Ibara and her classmates, they all ran away before the local girl could attack any of them. Izuku was also able to gather that the local girl wielded a four-iron golf club as a weapon, but that was not had Izuku's attention.
No, Izuku's wonder came from what he was able to gather about the local girl's lightning quirk which, what Izuku was able to get from his friend in 1-B Juzo, made golden lightning rather than regular lightning. Izuku also reached the conclusion that the earth manipulation quirk used by the teen girl that was with the police who killed his father Hisashi was heavily connected to the local girl's golden lightning quirk, as any earthen material manipulated by the teen girl's quirk is enveloped in a brilliant aura of gold. The green-eyed boy could not help but wonder just what was it about these two quirks, which sounded to him to belong to some special group of insanely powerful emitter-type quirks, that made the U.A. staff members be so secretive about them.
Hence why Izuku was trying to do research on them. To his mild frustration, Izuku was getting very little on what he's dubbing the 'golden emitter-type quirks'. During the green-eyed boy's research on the subject, he found an online article that was, surprisingly, written by Todoroki's dad Endeavor, and it went on about fire quirks that made flames of various colors, such as the blue flames made by the Cremation quirk belonging to the currently-at-large villain Dabi, as well as the black flames produced by the Hellfire quirk belong to Akuma Giratina of Vulcan High.
It was to Izuku's piqued interest, as well as some elated relief on his part, that said article written by Endeavor had a single line that said something about a late teens/very young adult male living in the United States, just so happening to live in Royal Woods, the very Michigan town that the 1-B students had their field trip at. According to Endeavor's words on the matter, this late-teens boy has a quirk that lets him conjure and manipulate golden fire. The current number one pro hero also says in his article that this golden fire quirk is far stronger than any other fire quirk that is out there.
However, this was all that Izuku could get on the 'golden emitter-type quirks' out of Endeavor's article; less than one-hundred words total, actually. Even so, Izuku added what he found to yet another one of his hero analysis notebooks, a new one he had prepared just to specifically hold any and all info that he could gather on the 'golden emitter-type quirks'; the notebook also had what Izuku was able to gather on the local girl's golden lightning quirk and the teen girl's golden earth manipulation quirk.
With what he got on the golden fire quirk added to his notebook, Izuku tried a different approach; since all three of the people who had these special quirks all lived in the same town in the United States, Izuku decided to do some research on that specific town. Thusly, Izuku got cracking on researching Royal Woods, Michigan. During his scanning of various news articles that denoted various happenings over in that town, Izuku came across one that got his interest, as it related to his 'golden emitter-type quirks' notebook;
Local high school students saves Royal Woods from sewage catastrophe
Bobby Santiago and Aggro Ace, two twelfth-grade boys currently attending Royal Woods High School, are credited with defeating Brandon McCann, who was plotting to kick start a massive criminal enterprise that would have otherwise resulted in mass crime and hysteria here in Royal Woods. When Mr. McCann tried to turn on a massive machine that would have used sewage from the sewage treatment plant he worked at to create a city-wide sewage mess that would have caused wide-spread damage that would have distracted local quirked heroes, Bobby and Aggro stopped the machine by destroying it before it could be used.
While Mr. McCann was being loaded into the back of a police van after he was defeated and arrested, local news and other media tried to get an interview with the heroic twelfth graders, but both were unavailable. One field reporter working for Royal Woods's local news station was able to get a few bits out of Ronnie Anne Santiago, the fifth grader younger sister of Bobby. From what the young Latina girl mentioned, her older brother used his quirk, which lets him conjure and manipulate golden winds, to fight against the now arrested Mr. McCann; similarly, Aggro used his quirk, which lets him conjure and manipulate golden fire, to assist Bobby in putting a stop to the plottings of Mr. McCann before they could be carried out.
Right before she was escorted away by her and Bobby's mother Maria, Ronnie Anne mentioned that both her brother's and Mr. Ace's quirks are something called Sacred Heritage quirks. But when the reporter tried to press Maria and her daughter for further information, the reporter was told by Maria to back off, as she is not fond of the idea of any of her children being hounded by the media looking for a scoop.
Izuku's eyes widened a bit as he not only read that article the first time, but scanned it again a few more in order to get what he could. The green-haired cinnamon roll now had a name to attach to the golden fire quirk, as well as a golden wind quirk and a name to attach to that; Izuku also found a profile picture of Aggro Ace, the twelfth grade boy with the golden fire quirk. He had long platinum blonde hair in a men's ponytail, save for face-framing bangs, and he seemed to possess some degree of Asian heritage. Izuku saved that picture to a file he had on a flash drive that was in his computer at the moment.
Izuku also had something else of note to add; that the 'golden emitter-type quirks' were referred to as Sacred Heritage quirks. Izuku would have gone on with his attempt to research what he now knows are called Sacred Heritage quirks, but he was brought out of his focus when he heard a knock at his dorm room door. "Excuse me, Midoriya!" the voice of Tenya called out, "But Todoroki, Uraraka and I need you to come with us! We're going to ask Aizawa-sensei for more on the field trip that we're taking to the United States in two days!"
The green-eyed boy remembered what his speedy friend was talking about; similar to class 1-B before them, class 1-A was not only going on an international field trip, but they were, in fact, going to Royal Woods, Michigan. The very town in which all of class 1-B was very nearly throttled by a local girl with a golden lightning quirk because she was set off by an unknowing Ibara. The same town where Izuku's late dad was killed by police that were backed up by that golden earth quirk girl. Izuku couldn't have asked for a better town in the United States for him and his classmates to take their field trip to, as it had all of the answers that he wanted.
A few minutes later, Izuku was walking alongside Tenya, Uraraka and Todoroki as they made their way to the teacher's lounge in the main school building. Not wanting to raise any suspicion from any of his friends about how he was secretly going against the direct orders of the teachers but still not able to help but say at least something, Izuku was deciding to try and ease things in bit by bit. "Hey, Todoroki," Izuku began, "I found this one article online that your father wrote apparently. He basically talks about how various fire quirks can produce various colors."
"Ah yes, I'm familiar with that article," Todoroki remarked, "My older sister Fuyumi had me read it at one point." With a gentle shake of his head, the dual-nature quirked boy continued, "I'm still impressed that my father has as much as he does on that villain bastard Dabi, as well as that Akuma fellow that Bakugo defeated during the U.A. versus Vulcan tournament." Suddenly, a look of passing wonder flashed across Todoroki's face. "…I'm also surprised that my father would openly talk for even a second about Sacred Heritage quirks," Todoroki remarked.
Izuku, Tenya and Uraraka paused as they all looked at their friend with the multi-colored hair, none more so than Izuku. The green-eyed boy would have asked what Todoroki was talking about, but Uraraka beat him to the punch. "Umm, Todoroki," the gravity girl began in a curious tone, "But what do you mean by 'Sacred Heritage' quirks?"
Turning to face Uraraka and the boys, Todoroki would have explained, but he was cut off when the familiar voice of Toshinori, aka All Might called out. "Ah, Midoriya my boy," the former symbol of peace said, "There you are. I was actually looking for you."
Izuku perked up when Toshinori mentioned that he was looking for him; despite Toshinori being retired and essentially quirkless, the green-eyed boy still saw Toshinori as All Might, the end all be all of heroes. Why else would he still keep all of that All Might merch around his dorm room, making the room into what's more a less a shrine to All Might?
"Is something up, All Might?" Izuku asked, his tone showing his curiosity was piqued.
Gesturing to Izuku, Toshinori replied, "I just wanted to give you a few tips for your class's upcoming field trip over to the United States. From what Aizawa told me, he and Hizashi plus two more adults are going to be the chaperones for 1-A as the lot of you go to a town in the state of Michigan called Royal Woods."
"That's right, sir," Tenya remarked to the former number one pro hero, "I later got it from Hizashi-sensei that the other two adult chaperones that he and Aizawa-sensei managed to get are Izuku's mother and Bakugo's mother."
Toshinori nodded in acknowledgement to Tenya before turning his attention back to the green-haired cinnamon roll. "I just wanted to give you a few tips on what to expect, as well as try out," Toshinori said, "From what some of Sekijiro's boys in his class said, there's this pizza place slash arcade that's really-"
"Umm, All Might," Izuku interrupted, sounding a bit nervous, "There was something that I was hoping to ask you about, too." This caught Toshinori off guard, as well as pique not just his but Todoroki's, Tenya's and Uraraka's interest as well. "I don't suppose that there's someplace where we can talk privately, is there?" Izuku asked.
Toshinori could tell by his protégé's tone that the matter that he wished to discuss was a rather serious one. Nodding once in agreement, Toshinori gestured for Izuku to follow him, "The teacher's lounge should be sufficient, Young Midoriya," Toshinori remarked, "It will do for now." Izuku nodded once in thanks as he followed the former symbol of peace to the teacher's lounge. Izuku's friends followed along closely, but had to wait outside the lounge until Izuku was done talking to All Might.
When Izuku and Toshinori arrived at the teacher's lounge, the only person in there was little Eri, who was fast asleep in a plush leather armchair that was in the lounge. Looking over at the little horned girl, Toshinori breathed a sigh of relief. "Aizawa will no doubt be by later to collect her," Toshinori thought to himself, thankful that the little girl was asleep for what he suspected was a rather serious talk that his protégé wanted to have.
Turning to face said protégé, Toshinori asked, "So, Midoriya my boy, what is it that you wanted to ask me about, hmm?"
Izuku knew that there was no beating around the bush on this one, so he figured that he might as well come out and say it. "All Might," the green-haired cinnamon roll began, "Do you know what Sacred Heritage quirks are?"
Instantly, the former symbol of peace's eyes widened in alarm and shock. He even sputtered out a bit of blood, he was that caught off guard by Izuku's question. Once he had regained as much of his composure as he could, Toshinori said in as serious of a tone as he could manage, "Young man, how did you find out about that? It's not something that can be so readily discussed in the open, which is why I'm glad this room is soundproofed."
"I was researching quirks," Izuku began slash mildly lied; he's a quirk fan boy so he's always researching quirks for real, but he was using that beginning to sound believable. "I found an online article written by Todoroki's dad, in which he talks about fire quirks that produce flames of varying colors," Izuku went on, "And there was one or two lines about some late-teens boy who has a golden fire quirk." Toshinori's eyes narrowed a bit in suspicion, a sign that he had a topic of discussion later when he found (i.e. got ahold of) Endeavor. However, Toshinori decided to let his protégé continue.
"Related to what I read about the late-teens boy and his golden fire quirk," the green-eyed boy went on, "I found another news article about an incident in the town that my class and I are going to on our field trip, in which the golden fire quirk guy and another guy who has a golden wind quirk stopped some vile plan a local man was going to set into motion. There was one line in that article in which the golden wind guy's younger sister said that the golden quirks are called Sacred Heritage quirks."
Toshinori let out a resigned sigh before looking Izuku right in the eyes. "…My boy," Toshinori began, "I suppose that it was inevitable that you or one of the other kids would find out about this. However, let me first be clear that what I am about to tell you must NEVER leave this room. What information that we here at U.A. have on Sacred Heritage quirks is guarded more closely than All For One over in Tartarus prison. Can I trust you to guard what I am about to tell you with your life, to say nothing on the matter to anyone barring situations that are literally life or death?"
Izuku was a bit surprised to hear just how seriously the teachers of U.A., all of which were respected pro heroes, took this matter, especially since All Might just said the matter is guarded more closely than All For One, that most despicable villain and All Might's greatest arch nemesis of all time. Even with all of his building nerves over the subject, Izuku nodded once to show that he was ready and willing to hear what All Might had to say, agreeing to whatever he had to in order to learn it.
Letting out a resigned sigh, Toshinori said, "Very well. First off, Sacred Heritage quirks are a special group of extremely rare and extremely powerful emitter-type quirks that all involve manipulating elements such as earth, wind and fire. All elements manipulated in this manner are a brilliant, shining gold in color, although in the case of the earth one, a brilliant golden aura surrounds the manipulated earth." Letting out another resigned sigh, the former symbol of peace said, "On…the subject of the earth Sacred Heritage quirk, the person who has it is the same girl that was helping the police in the incident where an officer killed your father in a shootout."
"Well that at least confirms one thing I was wondering about," Izuku thought, having just received confirmation that his suspicions about the earth manipulation quirk girl's involvement in his father's death. Even so, he was not done, so he allowed All Might to go on.
Gesturing to Izuku, Toshinori continued, "Sacred Heritage quirks are also all themed around certain countries slash cultures slash peoples. For example, the fire Sacred Heritage quirk that you mentioned…" Letting out a regular sigh this time, Toshinori said, "I actually happen to have a bit of info on it. It is called Amaterasu. It's a fire-attribute Japanese Sacred Heritage quirk." Izuku's eyes widened upon hearing that the gold fire quirk apparently drew much of itself from Japan, the very country that he and everyone else he knows lives in.
With a nod, Toshinori continued, "I don't have the name of the earth Sacred Heritage quirk, but the other teachers here and I do know that it is a Native American Sacred Heritage quirk." Looking up at the ceiling, the former symbol of peace let out a sigh. "Sacred Heritage quirks…" Toshinori said, "…They more than just represent various heritages. They draw strength from them. The lands, the cultures, the very people. To go against one is to go against all that they draw strength from." Giving his protégé a knowing look, Toshinori said, "You wouldn't want to go up against all of Japan on your own, do you my boy?"
A headshake in the negative from Izuku drew a knowing and approving smile from All Might. "There's something else to know about Sacred Heritage quirks, as well as their users," Toshinori said, "Any and all methods that you can think of to try to combat them can and will fail to do so. Aizawa's quirk can't erase them, your schoolmate Monoma's quirk can't copy them, that horrific Quirk-Destroying drug will have absolutely no effect on them…" Gently shaking his head, Toshinori added, "…Sacred Heritage quirks even can't be stolen by All For One." Giving his protégé a serious look, Toshinori said, "And those are just a few examples."
Izuku's eyes widened a bit by what he had just been told. It's bad enough that these Sacred Heritage quirks are apparently so powerful that it's part of why the U.A. teachers and staff are so secretive about them. But to hear that there are so many methods that will fail to do a damn thing to combat them in any capacity? Izuku shuddered at the thought of so powerful a group of quirks being out there. He also shuddered at the thought of just how exactly All Might came by all the information on what doesn't work to stop Sacred Heritage quirks and their users.
Which left Izuku with a question that he had to ask. "All Might," Izuku said, "Is there anything that can stop a Sacred Heritage quirk user?"
"There's only one method that I can think of off the top of my head right now," the former symbol of peace began, "Just plain don't start anything with Sacred Heritage quirk users." Letting out a resigned sigh, Toshinori said, "I'm not sure how Aizawa and Sekijiro will respond to me telling you about this, but in regards to the girl who almost went ballistic on class 1-B because of Young Miss Shiozaki, her lightning quirk is also a Sacred Heritage quirk."
"I should have figured," Izuku thought as he continued to listen to All Might.
Gesturing to Izuku, Toshinori said, "We also have a bit of info on that quirk, thanks partly to what your schoolmates were able to see before they all ran away before they could get hurt. The quirk is called Thunder God. It's a lightning-attribute Scandinavian Sacred Heritage quirk. I don't exactly remember the girl's name off the top of my head, but from what I got from Sekijiro, the girl embodies the Viking history that runs deep in half of her heritage." Letting out a sigh, the former symbol of peace said, "The girl's attempt to attack 1-B was inspired by her feeling that her pagan beliefs were being attacked by Young Miss Shiozaki."
With a mildly troubled look, Izuku said, "Umm, yeah. I did hear that Ibara had something to do with how her and her classmates were almost throttled during their field trip."
Nodding in confirmation, Toshinori said, "In Young Shiozaki's defense, she had no idea that her expressing her devotion to Christianity would have elicited such a negative reaction out of the girl, who was likewise made to acknowledge that she had indeed overreacted."
"Wait!" Izuku said suddenly, getting All Might's attention, "That girl who almost attacked 1-B." With a worried look on his face, Izuku said, "If either Todoroki and or Kacchan were to find out about her, then what can stop either of them from going after her to get revenge, especially if they decide to team up to get revenge on her together? After all, both Reiko and Pony are in 1-B, and they were both almost attacked. Todoroki is in love with Reiko, and Kacchan is in love with Pony." Gently shaking his head, the green-eyed cinnamon roll said, "I have no doubt that they would not just sit around while the person who had almost attacked their respective crushes is in the same town we're taking a field trip to."
Toshinori looked like he was giving the notion some thought. "…It would be troublesome if Young Todoroki and Young Bakugo were to learn of the girl, yes," Toshinori remarked, "Love can make kids your age do all manner of crazy things, including trying to take on a person with a Sacred Heritage quirk." To Izuku, Toshinori said, "All that we can hope is that neither of them finds out, much less considers trying to look into the matter if either of them remember what almost happened to 1-B during their field trip to Royal Woods."
Izuku agreed, and even promised not to tell Todoroki and/or Bakugo about what he and All Might had just discussed. They covered a few more points before Izuku got everything that he was looking for and then some. After that, Izuku thanked All Might for his time, promised not to say a word on what they had discussed to anyone, and took his leave.
…
Outside of the teacher's lounge, Izuku was met up by Uraraka, Todoroki and Tenya. "What did you and All Might talk about, Midoriya?" Tenya asked.
"My guess," Todoroki said, "Is that Midoriya was asking his dad for advice on how to do well while dating Mrs. Bakugo." With a nod, the dual nature-quirked boy remarked, "Midoriya is All Might's secret love child, after all."
"I…" Izuku said, "…Just wanted some tips on places to check out while we're on our field trip to Royal Woods, is all."
Izuku's friends, to the green-eyed boy's relief, all bought what he said. "Yeah, I kind of want to check out this one place that your friend Juzo talked about called Gus' Game n Grub," Uraraka said to Izuku, "I want to try out what American pizza is like."
Izuku smiled in relief when what Uraraka mentioned got Todoroki and Tenya talking, their interest piqued by the concept of trying American cuisine. Nodding in agreement with the gravity girl, Izuku said, "Yeah, Uraraka. I kind of want to try some of the food in America as well when we get there."
A few days passed with all of 1-A buzzing a bit in excitement about going on an international field trip. Some of the students were able to cover themselves in terms of costs for plane tickets, but the rest of them had to rely on a mix of U.A. and their classmate Yaoyorozu paying their way for them, the school because it was sending them on the field trip and Yaoyorozu because rich.
One such example of a student having to rely on someone covering costs for her is Uraraka; even though her family is now doing loads better money wise thanks to that commercial that 1-A, 1-B, the Big Three, Shinso, Mei and various pro heroes helped with, things were still a bit tight for the gravity girl here and there. But things as a whole were looking much better for her. At the very least, Uraraka can cover getting herself a nice souvenir during the field trip.
Either way, the big day came, and after a long flight over the Pacific Ocean, the students of U.A. High School's class 1-A finally arrived in the United States. As the twenty of them all entered the lobby of Royal Woods International Airport, they were given instructions by their teacher Aizawa, who stood next to Hizashi, Inko and Mitsuki. Eraserhead, Present Mic, Izuku's mother and Bakugo's mother/Izuku's girlfriend were the adult chaperones for the 1-A students on their field trip to the States.
"Like Sekijiro and his brats before us," Aizawa began as he addressed his homeroom class, "We're here to check out Royal Woods, Michigan, a surprisingly historically significant town in the United States."
"Luckily for us," Hizashi went on, "All of us know enough English to do basic things here. However, for more complicated matters, you kids can turn to either me or Aizawa, or your classmates Yaoyorozu, Todoroki, Iida and Midoriya, if what I got on all of them being fluent in English is true." The four students mentioned by Hizashi all nodded in the affirmative, showing that the very loud pro hero got it right.
After a few more topics were covered, the 1-A students and the adult chaperones all went about checking out what Royal Woods had to offer. Some were excited to see the sights, Sato wanted to try some local sweets, some of the girls wanted to go to the local mall to do some shopping, and various other things that tourists such as them wanted to do while in a foreign country.
Minoru Mineta, thinking with his lower horn as he always does, wanted to scope out some 'hot American babes' as he put it. The infamous pervert of class 1-A had an appreciation for foreign girls, viewing their being foreign as adding a dash of exoticness to their overall appeal. Mineta thought, because of this, that his classmate Bakugo had good tastes in girls, as the explosive teen was aiming to scoop up Pony Tsunotori of class 1-B.
"I had no idea that Bakugo appreciated the finer things," Mineta remarked aloud to himself as he wandered the streets of Royal Woods a few blocks from the hotel that he and the rest of the field trip were staying at. There was no need for alarm, as Royal Woods had a very low crime rate when compared to the United States as a whole; the infamous pervert also knew enough English to carry out his plans to 'scoop up some hot American babes'.
And find such a babe Mineta did; the short-statured boy spotted a girl who looked to be between sixteen and seventeen. This girl had fair skin, yellow-blonde hair that reached a little bit down her shoulders, and wore a green sleeveless dress that reached about halfway down her thighs, a pair of sandals, small red hoop earrings, and a pair of white-frame sunglasses (over her head). She had a cute purse that matched her dress's color with her, its strap over her right shoulder.
Strutting over to this girl, Mineta got her attention before he started flirting with her. "(Hey babe,)" Mineta said in English, "(Is it hot in here, or is it just you?)"
"(In here?)" the blonde girl replied in a confused tone, "(But we're outside. How can we, like, be 'in here' if we're actually outside?)"
"Great, the first cute chick I find in the States, and she'd dimmer than Bakugo's idiots," Mineta thought in mild annoyance. Not wanting to give up in potentially scoring a hot foreign girlfriend, the infamous pervert continued. "(No, that's not exactly what I meant,)" Mineta clarified for the blonde girl in English, "(What I really meant was that I was calling you hot.)"
Once again, the local girl looked confused. "(I'm hot? Why? Am I on fire?)" the blonde girl asked, looking like she was mildly panicking, "(Do I have a burn somewhere?!)" As the blonde girl looked over all of herself in a panic, Mineta mildly face palmed mentally. Sure, this girl was a few picnics short of a sandwich, but dumb girls were easier to work with (i.e. trick) for Mineta than girls of higher intelligence levels.
Gesturing for the local girl to stop, Mineta said, "(When I called you hot, I meant it in a way to call you attractive. I'm saying that you're really cute.)" The infamous pervert hoped that his explanation, which he made as simple and understandable as he could manage given what little English he knew, would be simple enough for the local girl that he was trying to flirt with to understand. Thankfully, the local girl seemed to get it.
"(Oh, so you're saying that I'm, like, pretty?)" the local girl asked, getting a nod in the affirmative from Mineta. The local girl giggled a bit and replied, "(Aww, thanks! My boyfriend thinks that I'm really pretty, too!)"
"Damn it, she's taken," Mineta thought upon hearing the reveal that the local girl he's flirting with was already dating someone. However, Mineta figured that the local girl's obvious lacking of intelligence, coupled with him (Mineta) being foreign thus having an exotic appeal, would let him work around this.
Clearing his throat a bit, the infamous pervert said, "(You know, I'm actually here on a field trip from my home country of Japan. I have no idea how things work here in the States, and I was hoping that you could show me around a bit. At least until I get the hang of things.)"
The local girl's face lit up a bit. "(Oh, did you just say that you're, like, Japanese?)" the local girl asked, "(That's really weird! My boyfriend is half-Japanese himself! He even taught Linky how to speak in that beautiful language that he talks in!)"
Mineta scowled inwardly at the repeated mention of this local girl he's trying to flirt with having a boyfriend. The infamous pervert also had no idea who this 'Linky' person the local girl speaks of is, but he disregarded that as a non-factor. Gesturing to the local girl, Mineta said, "(Well it's clear that you have some familiarity with-)"
*HOOOOOONNNK*
Both Mineta and the local girl were startled, as well as Mineta being cut off midsentence, when a large shipping truck drove through that part of the residential area a few blocks from the hotel that 1-A was staying at. Not only that, but both Mineta and the local girl were standing in the street at the time, so they both had to jump onto the sidewalk in order to avoid the truck.
After the truck had passed by the local girl, she let out a sigh of relief. "(Wow, that was, like, totes scary,)" the local girl remarked aloud, "(I wonder how that short guy with the purple balls for hair is doing, because I can't see him anywhere. Also, why does it feel like that there's something, like, heavy covering my butt?)" The local girl turned her head to look over her back and down to her rear end, and not only did she get her answer to her question, but she also got an answer to what happened to Mineta.
The short-statured boy was gripping to the back of the local girl's dress, his body covering the local girl's rear end and lower back area. He also used a few of his sticky balls to help him keep his hold. "(Wow, who knew that American girls were so well built?)" Mineta remarked, his dopey tone and facial blushing both showing his true perverted nature, "(No wonder Bakugo has his eyes on Pony.)"
The local girl screamed in fright and embarrassment instantly, shouting at the top of her lungs, "(THERE'S A PERVERT TOUCHING MY BUTT!)" A few seconds later, a young adult man came running into that area, having been summoned by the local girl's shouting; this young adult man was tall and had skin that was just as fair. He also had hair roughly as blonde as the local girl, which he wore in a single men's ponytail that trailed down the back of his head, save for the bangs which he allowed to frame his face.
The young adult man wore a light gray long-sleeved shirt (the sleeve ends hanging somewhat loosely rather than cling snugly to the wrists) under a seafoam green men's tank top, a pair of light gray cargo pants held up with a belt, white socks and a pair of men's sandals. Over his long-sleeved shirt and men's tank top, he wore a sleeveless seafoam green haori coat; it was of the long variety, reaching his knees.
Around his neck, the young adult man wore a pair of white studio headphones, the cords from the earpads trailing down until they became a single cord that disappeared into the right front pocket of his pants. There were black circles on the outside of the earpads. He had what appeared to be a cloth carrying case for a bokken, which seemed to hold two bokken at the moment, over his back, and it was peeking out from his right shoulder and left waist.
Right away, the young adult man spotted Mineta covering the local girl's rear in with his body. "(What the fuck do you think you're doing to Leni-chan, you pervert?!)" the young adult man snarled at the infamous pervert as he reached over his right shoulder and pulled a bokken out from the carrying case he wore over his back; this bokken he pulled out was three feet long, fairly thick, made of a whitish wood, and the faux leather wrapping at the handle end, which served at the hilt, had green threading.
Pointing his bokken at Mineta, the young adult man threatened, "(I'm going to fucking break you for fondling my girlfriend's butt!)" As the young adult man took a running charge right at him, Mineta knew that he had only one real option here.
Run as fast as he can, and get as far as he can.
Izuku, accompanied by Bakugo, Todoroki, Tenya, Tokoyami, Kirishima and Kaminari, were looking around the outskirts of one of the residential areas; Todoroki, disappointed that the hotel that the field trip was staying at did not have a pool, wanted to see if there were any pools in Royal Woods that he could go to. A local young teen girl, wearing a red and white sporting outfit and she wore her long brown hair in a sporty ponytail, gave Todoroki directions to the local pool. With the other 1-A boys that were with him, Todoroki went to locate the local pool.
"Yeah, I'm going to have to agree with half-and-half and call bullshit on how the hotel we're staying at doesn't have a pool," Bakugo remarked, "I mean, hotels like that are supposed to have pools, aren't they?"
Kaminari nodded in agreement before saying, "Yeah, it's really stupid, now that you mention it."
"Oh come on, you guys," Tenya remarked, "I'm certain that there is a perfectly valid and very-"
The class rep of 1-A was cut off when he, as well as the rest of the group he was with, all heard some panicked and frightened shouting coming from the distance. Said shouting was getting louder and louder as the guys saw someone getting closer to them. After a few seconds, they all saw their classmate Mineta come running towards them. It was Tokoyami who first spotted the young adult man with the bokken who was chasing the infamous pervert.
"Heyguyscovermyescapethanks!" Mineta said rather quickly as he ran past/through his group of classmates that he came across, leaving Izuku and the others looking confused before the young adult man with the bokken ended up coming to a stop in front of the 1-A, given that the boys were more or less blocking him from proceeding any further. Izuku looked like he had seen the young adult man somewhere before, but couldn't quite figure it out at the moment.
The young adult man had an angry, annoyed look on his face as he addressed the seven 1-A boys that stood in front of him. "(Out of my way, now,)" the young adult man said slash threatened, his temper very clearly cut short, as he pointed in the direction Mineta fled in with his bokken, "(I'm going to break that little fuck that just ran past you.)"
"(Sir,)" Tenya began as he addressed the young adult man in English, "(Although you may very well have a good reason to be upset with my classmate, there is no need to quote unquote 'break him', as you put it.)"
"(Get out of my way now,)" the young adult man continued to threaten, "(Or I will do to you and all of your friends here what I'm going to do that little bastard when I get my hands on him.)" To the surprise of the seven 1-A boys that were there, golden flames came out of the young adult man's right hand, which held his bokken. The weapon was then enveloped in a cloak of golden flames, flames that surprisingly did not burn the wooden instrument into ashes.
Upon seeing the golden flames, as well as getting another look at the young adult man's face, Izuku suddenly realized just who exactly he and his classmates were dealing with. "Everybody run!" Izuku shouted in Japanese at his classmates, "This guy has-" The green-eyed boy was cut off when the young adult man slashed the air in front of him with his blazing sword, creating a crescent-shaped projectile of golden fire that not only flew right at Izuku, but slammed into him with enough force to send him flying until he slammed his back into a tree on someone's front lawn. The green-eyed boy was automatically knocked out before falling over onto the ground.
"Holy shit!" Bakugo remarked, more than surprised as he and his fellows all saw Izuku getting one-shoted; given how tough Izuku was, none of the boys thought that their classmate in 1-A could get knocked out in one hit. But the young adult man before them just did that. As he and the others all turned to face the young adult man, Bakugo continued, "This guy must really be hella powerful if he can one-shot Deku like that!" The explosive teen did not sound like he was given a challenge that made him eager for battle; rather, he sounded very much rattled, like he would much rather get the hell out of there ASAP.
Giving Bakugo and the others a serious look, the young adult man began speaking in Japanese, surprising the boys. "So then," the young adult man said, "Given that both your blonde friend here and that boy with the green hair both spoke Japanese, I take it that all of you can speak it as well?" Without waiting for an answer, the young adult man said, "Good. Then we don't have to dance around the bush here."
Suddenly, the same cloak of golden flames that surrounded the young adult man's bokken spread to envelop the whole of the young adult man himself, making it look like the entirety of him had been engulfed in flames of brilliant gold. "Since you boys are taking too long to get out of my way," the young adult man snarled, very clearly having lost his temper, "I'm assuming that you all plan to cover for your purple ball-haired fellow that you let escape from me."
The young adult man inhaled through his mouth as much as he could before he exhaled, sending a stream of golden fire right at the remaining 1-A boys, hitting Kaminari in the gut and knocking him out instantly. Realizing that they were going to have to fight back, Bakugo, Todoroki, Tenya, Kirishima and Tokoyami all proceeded to engage the local young adult man in combat, despite all of them being nervous over seeing the man one-shot both Izuku and Kaminari.
Kirishima, using Red Riot Unbreakable, tried to charge at the young adult man head on, ramming right into the cloak of golden flames but failing to so much as make it budge. The young adult man, arching a wry eyebrow, dealt Kirishima a backhanded strike with his left fist, encloaked in golden flames, that sent the hardening quirk boy reeling a bit but not immediately knocked out.
While the young adult man was looking at Kirishima, Tenya tried to strike the back of his (the young adult man's) head with a Recipro Extended-boosted kick. However, it failed to make the cloak of golden flames so much as waver. All that Tenya succeeded in doing was getting the young adult man to turn his head a bit to see him. With an annoyed scowl, the young adult man merely smacked the 1-A class rep upside his head with his flaming bokken, knocking him out and sending him collapsing onto the ground.
While the young adult man was turned to look at the knocked out Tenya, a mix of fire, ice and explosions blasted into his front, although all of it was perfectly kept at bay by his cloak of golden fire. Turning around, the young adult man saw that Todoroki (who had made the ice and fire) and Bakugo (who had made the explosions) had regrouped with Tokoyami, who had Dark Shadow out which seemingly piqued the young adult man's interest a bit, and the slightly injured Kirishima. To the surprise of the remaining boys, the young adult man raised his bokken up so that it pointed straight up into the air.
Looking up, Bakugo, Todoroki, Kirishima, Tokoyami and Dark Shadow all saw a gigantic sphere of golden fire appear above the young adult man. "Solar Flare," the young adult man said right before he swung his bokken forward, causing the gigantic sphere of golden fire to fly right at everyone that still remained. The golden fire sphere was dropped on them, engulfing all four of them and Dark Shadow in a brilliant golden inferno, making all of them cry out in pain right before they all took enough damage to pass out, collapsing onto the ground as a result; Dark Shadow also retreated back into Tokoyami.
After all of his opponents were defeated, the young adult man willed his golden fire cloak to disappear. Returning his bokken to the carrying case he wore over his back, the young adult man looked around, an angry and annoyed scowl on his face. "…Damn it, the pervert escaped," the young adult man growled to himself as two local preteens came running up to him.
The first was a Caucasian boy with white hair; he had freckles under his eyes, a somewhat chipped tooth, and he wore a white long-sleeved shirt under an orange shirt that was open in the front over the white long-sleeve, a pair of tan cargo pants held up with a belt, and white shoes. A knife holster with a bowie knife in it was on the boy's left hip. The second child was a Hispanic girl wearing a purple hoodie, a pair of blue jean shorts, white socks and black shoes.
"(Holy geez, Aggro,)" the Hispanic girl said as she and the Caucasian boy looked around, "(What the hell happened here?)"
Gesturing to his carnage, the young adult man, apparently named Aggro, replied, "(These fellows got in my way as I was trying to chase down and beat up a pervert who I caught fondling Leni-chan's butt.)"
"(Somebody did what to my older sister's butt?!)" the Caucasian boy exclaimed, alarmed to hear that something that was of so reprehensible a nature had been done to someone who turned out to be his older sister.
Pointing to the Caucasian boy, Aggro said, "(Lincoln-kun, I'm going to need you and Ronnie Anne here to collect all of these boys that I have knocked out and lay them out somewhere in a group while I call for some ambulances from Royal Woods General to take them all in for some medical treatment. We should also call Leni-chan's friend Fiona so she can use White Mage to help speed up the recovery process.)" Aggro let out a troubled, remorseful sigh, holding the prints on his right fingers to his forehead. "(…I can't believe that I let my temper get the best of me. My fury was aimed at the pervert, not these seven.)"
The Caucasian boy, apparently called Lincoln, nodded in understanding as he went about doing as Aggro told him, walking over to Bakugo first. As Lincoln got to work, the Hispanic girl, who was apparently called Ronnie Anne, looked up at Aggro and asked, "(Do you at least know what the guy who touched Lincoln's sister's butt looks like?)" Pounding a fist into her hand, Ronnie Anne said, "(Because you aren't the only one interested in pounding a pervert into wet sausage, you know. I can't stand perverts, either.)"
"(He's about the same height as you and others your age,)" Aggro began to explain, "(Maybe an inch or two taller. Despite that, I can tell that he's at least high school age. Additionally, he has purple balls on his head in place of actual hair.)" Gesturing to where Lincoln had already laid out Bakugo, Izuku and Todoroki, Aggro continued, "(And judging by how these seven fellows who I defeated all kept me from pursuing the fellow with purple balls for hair, as well as how all eight of them speaks Japanese, I figure that they all know the pervert that I wish to break.)"
By the time Aggro had finished explaining what he knew to the kids, they had finished gathering the knocked out 1-A boys, laying them in a row on a front lawn. As the first ambulance pulled up to the scene, Lincoln turned to Aggro and asked, "(Just who are these guys, Aggro-sensei?)"
Aggro gave a gentle shake of his head. "(…I have no clue right now, Lincoln-kun,)" Aggro replied, "(But I get the feeling that we'll learn soon enough.)"
TO BE CONTINUED…
END, CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Author's notes;
The Louds are far and away from being the only notable individuals that Izuku and the rest of the BNHA characters will be dealing with/meeting up with over the course of this story as a whole. Things likewise won't be ending in this arc right here, as there are still a number of points that have to be covered, such as Mineta's responsibility in what happened to Izuku and the others being revealed, as well as something cropping up from the previous chapter.
…Case in point, that rich man who was annoyed that Uraraka Construction broke his otherwise perfect monopoly on the business of construction companies will be making his first (of many) move(s) in the next chapter, meaning that everyone's favorite gravity girl may be in danger. But not only will she have her classmates there to help her, but some locals living in Royal Woods may also lend a hand in helping to save Uraraka from the wealthy businessman's greed. Who knows how things will turn out in this temporary crossover of two of my works? There's only one way to find out, and that's to tune in next time.
As a side note, I'm sorry ahead of time if what Aggro did to Izuku and the others offends any of you, but there ARE a number of points to it, one of the main ones being that Mineta having lead him on like that was necessary in order to help establish the beginning of a sub-plot for Mineta that will go on over the next few chapters. Additionally, Aggro had lost his cool due to seeing what Mineta had done, and once he calmed down and realized what he had done while enraged by Mineta's actions, Aggro was very much remorseful for his actions. He will also get a chance to atone for what he did to Izuku and the others, so he WILL be making up for what he had done; a deal will be worked out. Don't go thinking that I do things without reason. This also had to happen in order to get a number of balls rolling in-universe, as well as get some balls rolling for a future AU story (that comes with a prelude story) that I plan to get out. In a way, what happened here was getting the toes wet for said story.
Also, don't worry; things are going to be taken care of in-story.
