So last time… yes, I made a few references to DBZ… and had a cameo line.
Izuku: I am disappointed in you.
But it was funny when I thought about it. Also, Super Saiyan Katsuki was supposed to be Fused Zamasu while Ochaco was supposed to be Super Vegito Blue.
Izuku: I think they understood that.
And if they didn't?
Izuku: I pity them.
Katsuki: Um, Dekiru?
Izuku: Yes?
Katsuki: Cut him some slack. Do you remember when you first became his manager?
Izuku: When the BETA Story, My Dragon Ball Heroes, was made. Yeah, so?
Katsuki: He's atoning for that story, for how stupid, and how under thought it was. I mean, just throwing in Eri like that in the middle of it. That was-
Izuku: He did that last chapter.
Katsuki: Oh… yeah he did that.
Well Eri is a more favorable character, so I kinda wanted to introduce her now. Plus, I really couldn't care much about the Overhaul Arc.
And now we're rambling. Great… So, I guess you can go read the story now, while I go and prepare for this epic battle after we see what Stain is up to with Eri.
And when you get to the end, I'll be explaining what the end of the last chapter meant.
Chapter 18
(A Batle The Will Never Be Forgotten!)
決して忘れられない戦い!
エレメンタルマスター!
(Elemental Master!)
Hosu
Stain sat Eri down on the sofa in the small living room in the safe house he had. After he did that, he took off his sheathed sword, and sheathed knives and set them on his weapon rack. The amount of blades he had made Eri nervous, but when he came back with a glass of water and a first-aid kit, she relaxed a little.
Stain set the glass on a small side table, and started to unbandage Eri's legs, which has scars from something sharp. Stain was concerned. "Okay, Eri. Please tell me everything that's happened, and I might be able to help you depending on how you explain and describe it," Stain asked, hoping to get an answer as to why she had scars on her legs, and presumably her arms as well.
"Um… I guess it started after Papa died," Eri began. "Papa was in front of me one moment and then he was just gone. Mama yelled at me and then the bird people came. Mama didn't know who they were but just said, 'Take her, she's a monster'. The bird people then grabbed me and hurt me…" Eri subconsciously grabbed her arms, the parts that still has bandages on them.
Stain realized that there was a deeper meaning to this, and it was a meaning that if it were revealed, that people would realize how much this girl has been through, and seen, and felt.
Stain patted her head, shocking Eri out of her dark memories of what she's been through. "Then I'll be the person who will take care of you. Like a real father." Stain smiled. "I'll even train you to defend yourself in case you ever have to defend yourself in this society. There are many people out there who kill just for fun, but others who kill because of motives and convictions." Stain stood and grabbed Eri and lifted her into the air. "I'll make sure you can save yourself, when there is no one who can save you, and when you need to save someone yourself."
Stain put Eri down on the sofa, and gave her the glass of water from earlier that was still sitting on top of the small table right next to him. Eri drank it, and Stain went to the kitchen. He brought back some snacks. He hadn't stocked up on much yet, but he had a few from the last city safe house. A granola bar, some beef jerky (teriyaki flavor), and a slice of pumpkin pie that was a welcoming gift into Hosu by the person who Stain "politely" asked for the safe house. Eri ate the granola bar, ate a bit of the pumpkin pie, and also had a few pieces of Stain's teriyaki flavored beef jerky.
Eri swallowed the beef jerky and said to Stain, "Thank you."
Stain nodded. "You've been through a lot. I'm supposed to be a hero on my own terms, and helping you fits into those terms." Stain sat down next to Eri and turned on the TV. "Now, let's see what's happening in the UA Sports Festival. I heard it was broadcasting live right now."
UA Sports Festival
"And now! We are back after fixing this window, and fixing the arena. As well as giving free food, drinks, and also goggles because of the chances of more dust rising in these next fights exceeding 50%!" Present Mic listed. All of which, we true things. They gave all the people who were here goggles, food, and drinks just because of the last fight between Katsuki and Ochaco, who were still in the infirmary.
"So to start things off, in this corner," Present Mic began as the sky darkened and a green spot light shined on one pathway to the arena. "It's the Saiyan of Class 1A, the Kaioken and Super Saiyan dual wielder, and the only one here with an alternate version of himself from another dimension. It's Izuku Midoriya!" Izuku then stepped into the spotlight, looked up into the sky and saw Apotheosis making the sky darken with his Infinity Gauntlet, and nodded at him.
"But in the other corner, we have the coldest yet also hottest man in here, son of the Number 2 Pro Hero of Japan, and the only person to fuse with Isuku during this tournament. It's Shoto Todoroki!" Like with Izuku, a spot light that was half red and half white appeared, and Shoto walked to the arena.
The two made it to the arena, and the lights faded as the sky lightened up, and returned to normal. Bardock stood still and weighed the possibilities of who would win. Izuku had more experience and was stronger than Shoto, but Shoto had fire and ice that had some chances of nullifying any Ki blasts that go his way.
Bardock wasn't sure about this match, but sighed. "Begin!" He shouted before backflipping away from the arena and flew into the air to watch.
Izuku and Shoto glared at each other. Izuku was sure that he didn't need to bother with giving the, "use you full power!" speech. But he was ready to use it if it came to it. Shoto, meanwhile, just clenched his fists as he thought about what he saw from Izuku's life. Being born with 6 quirks, getting a actually sixth due to one being teachable to all and not exclusive to him. Shoto then went over all of Izuku's stances, his moves, and how to counter them all.
For a moment, the arena was waiting in anticipation for them to start fighting, and from the intensity of the situation. Then Shoto said, "I've made my decision, Midoriya. It's my power, and not his! And besides…" He paused, and then tiles started to crack and rise around Shoto, causing the crowd's eyes (and even Endeavor's eyes too) to widen as an aura that changed as constantly that it looked like a rainbow that had its color went down to the lower level of the rainbow (purple-blue, blue-green, green-yellow, etc.), and his hair going wild. Then Shoto said, "If anyone's going to win this Sports Festival, it's going to be the master of the Elements, me!"
That moment, the tiles cracked on the arena, and dust rose rapidly, and transformed into a rainbow dust cloud. Bardock shielded his face from it as a strong wind blew from Shoto's position, as did Izuku. Everyone, minus Izuku, was shocked at what was going on. Endeavor was most of all. 'Have I've been tricked?' He thought. 'Did Rei and Shoto lie to me about what his quirk really was? Or… was this from fusing with that Midoriya boy?'
The dust then cleared, and the crazy winds stopped. Then, everyone saw what had happened to Shoto.
Instead of his red hair being red, it was yellow. His white hair was now black also. His left burn-scarred eye was now pure white, and his right eye was pure black. Shoto even had dark black markings hugging to his skin and outfit on his right side, with light white markings on his left side. (To Shoto's view on left and right.)
Izuku didn't know that Shoto changed when he used the other bits of his Quirk, so this surprised Izuku. Everybody was shocked at this.
Shoto chose that moment to fire a black ball at Izuku, who caught it, but felt it go through him. Izuku didn't know what happened, until he felt an invisible force hit his stomach and send him back. Izuku was confused, and Shoto fired more of the black balls. Izuku merely teleported behind Shoto, and dodged them all. Shoto guessed this would happen and hit Izuku with the back of his fist, causing Izuku to stumble. Shoto then made a white ball appear and slammed it into Izuku's chest. Izuku felt this one, and it exploded, sending Izuku into the air. Izuku recovered, and went Super Saiyan. He charged Shoto and fired several Ki blasts that went towards him. Shoto was busy dodging them when Izuku hit him in the chest with his right knee. Shoto went tumbling across the arena, and Izuku followed him quickly. Izuku then laced his right fist in Ki as he lunged towards Shoto to finish this fight in one blow.
Shoto, however, just seemed to melt in a blinding light and disappeared. Izuku was confused, and looked around, sensing for Shoto's Ki. He was then struck by lightning, and felt his nerves slightly fry. The bolt left and Izuku felt that his hair and clothes were singed.
Izuku looked in front of him and saw that Shoto had changed again. This time, Shoto's left side had a yellow-orange hair and seemed to generate small amounts of lightning that struck around his body but only on the left side, while his right side had grey hair, and was flying around like crazy.
Shoto smiled. "This is my Wind and Lightning mode. I'll fight you for real, Izuku!"
Izuku smirked, and let his aura flow around him. Izuku got into his stance and took a deep breath. He then tried to focus on keeping his Ki inside himself, and try to make it not leak from his body. Izuku managed this, and charged at Shoto and the two began another round of fighting.
The sky then got suddenly dark and was filled with dark clouds. Izuku and Shoto just kept attacking each other and paid no attention to what was going on around them. The sky then started to have lightning strike the arena of the two competitors, and the tiles rose and fell, singed and broken. Bardock was staring in awe at the two students.
Until Izuku was on the arena and Shoto was in the air.
Izuku then surged his hands towards Shoto, in a familiar cupped position. "Ka… Me…" Izuku began, which made Bardock realize what he was about to do.
"Oh s***," Bardock said. He went to Super Saiyan 3 and yelled at Cementoss, "Quickly! Make a barrier to surround the civilians! This attack might hurt them!" Cementoss then realized the situation and incased himself in a cement dome, and seemed to raise a cement dome to protect the civilians that were spectating this battle.
"Ha… Me…" Izuku nearly finished.
Shoto then seemed to merge all of his elements he had control over into one attack. "ELEMENTAL HAVOC!" He yelled as he threw the ball at Izuku, which went towards him as a rainbow beam of elements.
"HAAAAAAAAA!" Izuku yelled as he fired the Kamehameha at Shoto.
The beams collided and an enormous wind pressure built up. If anyone were to look at the arena from outside it, they would see what looked like a tornado and hurricane hybrid emerging from the middle, similar to when All Might used a Detroit Smash in the anime.
Izuku and Shoto were struggling to gain power over the beams, that was until Izuku felt it. He felt a surge of unworldly power, and he increased the power input into the beam. The Kamehameha turned red, and overpowered Shoto's attack. The Kamehameha engulfed Shoto, and Shoto thought, 'Is this… where I'm defeated?'
The beams erupted when Bardock sent a Ki pressure into the attack and the beam exploded. The sky cleared and it was bright and sunny again.
"Eraser…" Present Mic said with his eyes wide opened to the point you could see his actual eyes.
"Yes..?" Aizawa asked while staring with his own eyes wide opened as well from that power displayed.
"You're students are monsters."
"I think I learned that when Izuku and Katsuki sent the baseballs I gave them to space."
"THEY SENT THEM TO WHERE?!"
The dust that rose had cleared and Cementoss lowered the cement barriers, so the crowd could see what was going on. And in the stage, the person standing was…
"IZUKU MIDORIYA PROCEEDS TO THE SEMI-FINALS!" Bardock yelled as he went back to his base form. Shoto was lying unconscious in the grass outside of the arena. Izuku smiled and fell unconscious… again.
Bardock smiled at Izuku, and felt proud for some unusual reason. 'Well… good job on getting to taste God Ki… Izuku.' Bardock thought.
You know, maybe I don't really need to explain the words from the end of last chapter that much, but I guess I'll tell you the deeper meaning behind it.
So a long time ago, I thought of something similar to Jump Force, just a more travel around based version. So I later thought about a game similar to Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle, Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross, and Dragon Ball Legends. One of those summoning games that had story and events too. So I eventually thought of a game based off of those, but with many more animes besides the Shoten Jump animes.
However, the idea just simply died down and ended, and I discarded the idea. However, the words from last chapter were, in the end, just another Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle reference, being one of the quotes that happen when they tease a new Dokkan Event and Sumon that would be coming soom.
So that's really all here is too it. I'm actually sorry about the chapter being shorter, but I wasn't in a writing mood. Also, I started yet another story.
Four stories that I have to update now... great. Oh well, see you all after Christmas. Or Hanukah if you celebrate that.
