I'm glad you're still here, despite my lack of any clue as to why. Today we see...I don't really know how to describe it so just read it. Also, I still haven't seen anyone tell me what the easter egg in chapter 6 was. It will be referenced in this chapter so see if you can figure it out then.
For the disclaimer, I brought a good friend of mine.
I AM HERE!
Me: Right on time!
All Might: Where exactly are we? And how am I in my muscular form?
Me: That isn't important just say the thing.
All Might: Configure does not own My Hero Academia! All rights and credit go to Kohei Horikoshi! Why did I have to say that?
Me: ...With that out of the way, enjoy!
P.S.: Fay is Irish for fairy, if I'm not mistaken.
Chapter 8: The Blue Fay
We see the Earth before zooming in to North America, into the U.S.A and into a huge forest. All is quiet before suddenly there is a shout that made several birds fly away in fear for quite a while. "TEN COMMANDMENTS!" What followed was a series of around ten massive shockwaves that could be seen poking above the tree line, presumably from the impact of something hitting something else. These carried enough force to make tremors shake the ground and push the air into gale force winds that bent over several trees and uprooted the weaker ones.
Even after the shockwaves ended, the winds kept on blowing for a few moments before stopping. After that, we can see a figure walking out of the forest which, upon getting closer, was a familiar masked lunatic hero. He had no shirt on and had black markings receding into his skin and blue flames were going out on his shoulders and a glow faded from his body while his eyes were closed and opened to their normal colors. Configure looked up and spoke in English.
"Damn, I was expecting it to take a while but I didn't think I'd need to use that just to kill something that couldn't dish out as much as it could tank. I certainly wasn't expecting to find you here when I was just taking a stroll through my home country. I guess this is what you get for murdering my parents, ya bastard. You've done that 'Ki ki ki! Ma ma ma!' thing for the last time. Oh crap! I gotta get to U.A. before classes start!" He said before he sunk into his shadow with the eyes that showed Necromancy was in use.
We are in 1-A with everyone there save for Aizawa. Also, what was Mineta's seat is now empty.
"No matter how much I should be disappointed my fellow classmate is gone, I can't deny the sick sense of satisfaction of knowing we won't have to deal with him." Iilda said to his friends, his hands chopping like usual.
"You can say that again, kero." Tsu agreed.
"I can't believe he actually tried that. The gall of that midget..." Gojasu said with an aura of absolute death around her.
"I would have liked to destroy that grape myself." Jiro stated with equal intensity.
"W-Well, he's gone now, that's what matters. I'm glad to get a new classmate though." Deku said in a firmer voice than usual, thanks to Configure helping with his confidence, though he couldn't deny he would have liked to mangle the pervert in ways that were far from being PG.
"I wonder who it'll be. I hope we can be friends!" Uraraka said in that bubbly, cheery tone.
Just after she said that, Aizawa wormed his way into the room in a sleeping bag. "The new student is here. Come on in." He said lazily before falling asleep.
The door opened and in walked-"Shinso!" The narrator was promptly interrupted by a certain green-haired student. "Sorry Mr. Narrator sir." Deku said sheepishly rubbing the back of his head. Anyway, the tired looking teen walked in and introduced himself. "My name is Hitoshi Shinso. I am honored to be here in the Hero Course, in 1-A of all of the places. I hope I can prove my worth in this class." He then sat down while class went on with people asking him things and when asked about his quirk, they responded with positivity he didn't expect. They said things about how it would be great for handling hostage situations and the like, though some did say they were a bit intimidated by such a quirk, they said it was over how much better it would probably make him out on the field. Over all, pretty well received in the class.
(timeskip to Configure's class because it's the beef of this chapter)
They arrived in the class to see a cup of green tea in the little microwave on Configure's desk and Configure nowhere to be found. Those of them that knew the story had explained to the rest of the class why the Unorthodox Hero doesn't drink coffee. Seeing the cup gave Ashido and Kaminari an idea. Ashido took a small bottle out of her backpack and the two of them went over to the tea and began putting the contents of the bottle in. "What exactly are you doing?" Yaoyorozu questioned. "Well, were putting these sleeping pills in his tea, duh." Mina replied. "Why?" Momo asked. This time it was Denki who answered. "It'll be funny to see what happens." The two then returned to their seats. A minute or two later Configure entered looking a tad bit tired. Not physically tired but in the way that someone is just tired of doing things that day.
"Whoa. Did you get up on the wrong side of bed today?" Kumo asked. "Yeah, you look like you just fought the unkillable." Izuku said. "Correction, it was unkillable. I encountered the slasher that killed my parents while I was in a forest in America. I'm fairly certain it wasn't human. Had to use a lot of power though. The thing seemed practically immortal!" He clarified. He went over to his desk and sat down.
The class watched in anticipation as their teacher took the cup of tea and took a long sip. When he finished he was silent for a moment before he said "Okay. Who put sleeping pills in my tea?" He then began to look tired (like he wants to sleep tired this time) as everyone pointed at the culprits and Configure looked at them. "You two are really in for it when this ends. That is...if you live that long." He said cryptically before shouting, they could tell it was more of at himself than the students. "Stop her guys!" He then passed out and his head smacked on the desk.
The class was quiet before Sero broke the silence. "Well that was pretty anticlim-" He was cut off- "Oh but you get mad when you get interrupted!" Deku shouted. HE WAS CUT OFF as suddenly Configure stood up with a smile on but something was off. This smile held none of the mania they'd seen before, this was more psychopathic. More murderous.
"I better change into something more fitting." The class was confused as to what was happening, but it was starting to make them nervous. Then there was a small but bright flash of light and when they looked back, Configure wasn't there, instead they saw a different person entirely. Standing where the masked male had, there was a woman. She was around the same height as Configure with the same shade of brown hair falling down her back with a face that looked similar to his and a somewhat small figure. (a necessary evil in describing this character, I'm afraid) The odd thing was she had Configure's clothes on.
"Well, well, well, well. Take a look at the menagerie. You must be class 1-A. I've gotta say, I'm a little disappointed that crazy shit never taught you about me. He always talks so much about you. Boohoo." She said with a pout, though her voice was sweet sounding with an undertone that made it sound like a siren. "What have you done with our teacher?!" Iida shouted, hand chopping violently. Her response was a grin. "I'm afraid Mr. Screw Up isn't quite feeling himself lately, and when the cat's away the fay will play."
"Who are you?!" Kirishima demanded. "I'll explain, but first let me slip into something more comfortable before that." She said before a brief flash of light enveloped her. She now was wearing a primarily smokey white suit with no sleeves. The top piece had three dark blue stripes starting on the left side of her stomach and traveling across her back to the right side, the stripes each being pointed on each end giving it a look similar to a rib cage. She had a blue stripe going down the outside of each leg before stopping at the ankles. She had black combat boots with steel toes painted dark blue. She also had blue metal leg guards and knee pads. While lacking sleeves, the costume had blue metal vambraces and elbow pads and black fingerless gloves with pieces of blue metal on the backs of the hands. She also had a blue piece of armor over her chest and blue metal shoulder rerebraces, to which a blue cape with black vein-like patterns was attached. To finish the costume, she had a mask that looked like a Ulysses butterfly with eye holes in the top parts of the wings and a blue belt with knives holstered in it.
"That's better. Good ol' Equip quirk. Now, where to start. My name is Lepidoptera. I was also called The Blue Fay. I came into existence back in his high school days when he got hit by someone with a quirk they named Jekyll and Hyde. This gave him another personality, but this one would be opposite of him. For a while, he didn't know I existed and I used his quirk to make two other quirks so I could make my own identity. The first I made unable to destroy, it was called Gender Bend, it's pretty self-explanatory. The second was called Blue. I went on as a separate identity before he found me out, and my plans for the future. He said I'm an outright psychopath. So what if I was gonna kill them all. He snapped when I said I would disembowel his lady friend. Now I can never take control, that is, unless he's deeply unconscious. He took this so seriously he forced himself to become a light sleeper. It looks like you couldn't hold me forever though, you pathetic excuse for a hero! Haha!"
The class was now really on edge. This was a being who would likely try to kill them all. They got into fighting stances. Lepidoptera noticed this and gave a sickly sweet smile. "Aww, look. The kiddies want to fight. I hope that waste of air trained you good, because I'll give you a fight!"
"Why are you insulting him so much?" Ojiro asked with a raised eyebrow.
"You see that quirk had a different effect when I was created. I was also born as the manifestation of his self-hatred. All the insults and curses he shouts at himself in his head or when no one's around are what I am." She said smugly. The students were surprised at that. They never knew this. They doubt anyone did. Configure, the hero people call the 'Next Symbol of Peace' actually thought so little of himself.
"Now, I believe I never said what Blue does exactly." The murderous woman said as she raised a hand up with her palm facing the ceiling. "Allow me to give you a demonstration." With that, blue electricity sparked to life in her palm and took the shape of a butterfly. It fluttered up out of her palm and into the air before turning to Kaminari. It stayed there for a few seconds before it shot at him at insane speeds and struck him in the chest, knocking him down. The class looked at him on the floor, twitching from how much of a literal shock he got, though he was still alive due to the level of voltage he was accustomed to.
They turned back to find their assailant with a blue flame in each hand turning into a butterfly and launching at the class who dodged the slower moving fire creations. They saw the wall get struck and partially melted where it got hit before they watched Lepidoptera pull out two knives and light the knife in her left hand ablaze in azure fire and charge the one in her right with cerulean lightning, with a grin of sinister sadism.
Safe to say, they dodged when she threw them. However, the lightning one was too fast and Kirishima was taken out of the fight.
The students got chased around the school until they reached the P.E. grounds and they formed a plan. She had lost track of them and eventually came to the P.E. grounds and found herself surrounded. "It's over now." Todoroki said, his left side blazing.
"Nuh, uh, uh." The psychopath spoke as she wagged a finger. "Never assume you have the upper hand. You have to know you have it." She said before streams of blue fire from her feet propelled her into the air. As she flew she ignited her hands and spun around midair, shouting "Sapphire Scorch!" She was soon enveloped in a blazing blue tornado. Then she directed herself down toward the class and crashed into them, burning them severely. As the smoke cleared, Lepidoptera was standing in the center of the destruction she caused, butterflies of blue flames and electric bolts gently flying off of her.
"So, this is what it feels like to be able to do as you please. It's been so long I forgot what it was like." She said in a tone of awe. She then smiled sickeningly and turned to the students. She raised her right hand which held three knives between the fingers. "I wonder what Configure would do-" She walked over to Izuku who was lying on his back. "if I were to gut one of his precious students open like a fish?" She said sadistically. "Let's find out shall we?" Blue lightning roared from the blades as they crackled and sparked and it even formed extensions of the knife blades made of pure electricity. "Turquoise Claw!" She thundered. (badoom chig)
Just as the Blue Fay brought the knives up to slice into Deku and spill his intestines, she gasped, dropped the knives and clutched her head as she stumbled away from him. "No! NO! You are not locking me up again!" She snarled furiously. They then a heard a voice, Configure's voice, in their heads say.
"I know that would take too long, but they can make it go a lot faster."
"YEEEEEAAAAAAAHHH!"
A large sound wave, courtesy of Present Mic, then washed over them all just as Lepidoptera turned to see the other U.A. teachers. This successfully knocked her down and when she got up she was too dazed to dodge Eraserhead's scarf. She tried to light herself on fire but found her quirk erased (the indestructibility of Gender Bend also makes it immune to being turned off via things like Erasure) while under Aizawa's dry, red eyed gaze.
"I'd like a full explanation as to how this all happened." He said.
We cut to dusk with 1-A in the dorms with Configure there as well.
"I hope this has taught you all not to mess with my tea." He said agitatedly.
The pair responsible nodded vigorously. "Of course sir!"
"Good. Now, as punishment, the two of you have been sentenced to taking out the trash and cleaning the bathrooms for the 1-A dorm for the next five weeks. Also, I formally apologize for the harm you've endured during Lepidoptera's rampage. I am truly sorry." He said as he bowed solemnly.
They all just smiled at him sympathetically. "It's not your fault you have that monster inside you or that it got out." Uraraka said with a soft smile.
Configure began tearing up at this. "Oh...you guys!" He shouted as he leapt at them and gave them a huge bear hug as the tears broke free.
We zoom out from the dorm building as laughter could still be heard before the screen goes black.
AH! That one was good. Sorry if this chapter sucked at all, it was pretty much just me going with this idea I once had while thinking about this story and that's all I had to work with because Writer's Block.
Remember to try and tell me the easter egg in the reviews.
Also, Equip essentially allows me to do what Erza's magic in Fairy Tail does.
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter.
Goodbye, get your Writer's Block shots, and stay weird!
