Orpheus, timeline wise, right around the end of Volume four, about 4-5 day's till the attack on Haven. And as far as planning this goes... I have a goal and think of the most entertaining way to it.
"... one thing... What just happened?" She asked from a tree branch, two large cases in her hands
"Shit." I said while looking around us, we had teleported into the middle of a massive pack of Beowulfs.
Chapter 55: The beginning of the journey
I slashed a Beowulf clean in half as it leaped for me. It felt like I wasn't hitting anything as the bade sliced through the grimm. The two half fell to the ground behind me flattening the grass before dispersing in a dark cloud. I danced from monster to monster, limbs and heads fell to the ground long after I was gone from that spot. I could finally go all out with my baby without worry. It was exhilarating.
"DETROIT SMASH!" All Might's punches blew through grimm like tissue paper, he didn't need any weapon to fight off the hordes of darkness that rushed him. He crushed a Beowulf's head in his massive hand before throwing the body into a wall of it's kind with enough force to whip up a wind storm.
Bakugo blasted them apart with his quirk, each bang marked the vaporization of another grimm, his grin wider then I have ever seen. "DIE! DIE! DIE!" Yelled as he exploded across the open field. Those that survived his first blast against them were quickly blown to oblivion.
Tenya blocked the creatures path to Hatsume who had scrambled even further up the tree, his shields holding them back before the snapped shut and he kicked with the full force that his engines could produce, I couldn't hear it over all the noise, but while he didn't kill the grimm in a single hit, the creatures staggered back with broken limbs and caved in chests.
Kyoka's aura boosted sound blasts launched the beowulfs high into the air where Aizawa, who stood back to back with her, used his scarf to smash them into the ground. The duo were being forced back until a wave of ground raised up and smashed down and the approaching wave of grimm. Kiri then turned to the hoard and created a rising pillar of stone that cut through with his hardened hand a sent flying into the creatures, the slabs of stone and earth tore through them with ease.
I heard a louder growl as the alpha approached me, the remainder of the hoard regrouped behind it. I stood up straight and looked it in the eye. silver glareing at red.
Slowly the old beast turned and left the rest of the pack leaving with it.
"Did it just leave?" Aizawa asked.
"The older grimm are known to show intelligence, this one knew that a fight here wasn't worth losing it's whole pack over a group of humans." I said as I put away my scythe. "There are some that I doubt I could do anything to, even with my new power. They have survived for thousands of years by learning that when they attack us, we fight back."
As we looked around the once serene meadow, grass burning and ground torn up, just got back and it's straight to fighting.
"Can someone help me down?" Hatsume asked from her perch.
As Tenya caught her I pulled out my scroll and pulled up the signal sources. "We're in the western part of Mistral, there should be a village with a CCT outpost about... a three days walk from here. From there we'll have to make some lien to get a ride on their airship if they have one." I pocketed the scroll.
"Mistral? CCT? Airship? What are you talking about?" Hatsume asked as she brushed the leaves and sticks out of her clothes.
"Welcome to Remnant, my home world... universe... reality? I really have to figure out how this would be called." I scratched my chin as the pink haired girl stared at me.
"You just murdered a pack or demon wolfs and that's what your worried about?" She asked.
"It is a important distinction, because we still have no idea what exactly the relation the worlds share, if any." Tenya said he took photos and samples of the plants around us. "This connection could very well save lots of lives someday."
"Yeah get used to that. We'll get you some new clothes at the village." I said as opened my pack pulling out Penny's sword and tossing it to her. "Don't lose that, it was a friend's."
"Wait, we can't bring her with us, it's to dangerous." All Might spoke up.
"We don't have control of where we end up when we warp between worlds, we got lucky to be in the right kingdom, I'd rather not risk ending up in the frozen mountains that surround Atlas, or in the deserts of Vacuo on the other side of Anima." I said as I pulled out a spare cloak and gave it to the support student. "I'll want that back as well."
"Where's Monoma?" Tenya asked as he jotted down some notes of his observation of the plants.
"I'm here." We looked at a pile of several feet high, Monoma's head stuck out of the top, "This is not funny." We all stared to laugh at his misfortune.
"How? Just how? I was moving earth the other way." Kiri just laughed as he held his stomach.
"I copied your semblance, but my quirk seemed to freak out when I did so, I lost control of it. Now dig me out!" He demanded.
"Yeah we'll get to it." Bakugo grinned at the copy hero's predicament as he lifted his open palm.
"Don't you DARE!" Monoma yell a little to late as Bakugo unleased a massive explosion blowing away the dirt, stone and Monoma. He laid on the ground smoking and covered in dirt. "YOU IDIOT!" He jumped to his feat as he brushed himself off.
"If it works, it ain't stupid." Bakugo grinned.
"The sun is setting we should find somewhere to camp." Aizawa said, I looked around and spotted a river on the far side of the meadow, and across it was a road.
"The road is over there, It should follow the river so we should find a Hunters camp at a bend in the water." I said as I shouldered my pack. "Anyone got any good road songs?" I asked as we made our way through the grass.
"I do." All might said with his smile ever present on his face, as he shrunk down to save time for his transformation.
"If you start singing I'll stuff your mouth full with rocks." Bakugo said to the pro.
"Now young Bakugo, no need for such hostility." And thus began our trip through the countryside of Mistral.
We reached a hunters camp as the sun was setting, we had been walking for two hours at this point and everyone was tired. The small cabin was over grown with vines and saplings, a large fire pit sat next to a half gone stack of wood, a old truck sat rusting away the dust powered engine long since salvaged from the long dead machine. The grass crunched under our feet as we sat down on old stumps around the empty fire pit. standing in the center of the clearing was a Everfall fall tree, the red leaves slowing being blown away in the wind. A spigot barely poked out of the bark of the old tree. I saw what I assumed to be an over grown garden choked with grimm weed and vines. No fresh vegetables tonight.
As the others drank some water I checked inside the shed, it was full of empty jars and lids I took a few down to the river and cleaned the dust out of them and came back to find the others had started a fire and were cooking a meal of rations. "What are you doing with that?" Tenya asked as I set the jars next to the tree.
"We'll need every natural food source we can find, an Everfall tree's sap is known for it's sweetness and being edible straight from the tree." I explained as I felt the trees bark looking for a weak vein in the gnarled bark.
"The spigot is too over grown to be used, you'll never get any sap from it." Bakugo said as he roasted a sausage over the fire on a stick.
I pulled out the knife that Momo had made for me back at camp and cut a slit in the bark in the tree and the sap began to flow quickly into the jar. "My herbology teacher at Beacon, Professor Peach, made our class gather jars full of this stuff from the Forever Fall Forest." I set about filling the rest of them and sealing them tightly. "It was a nice field trip until the ursa attack."
"Huh, Beacon really did prepare you for living on the road." All Might said as cooked his sausages.
"Yeah. It did." I smiled as I thought of happier times.
And this chapter is done.
