Chapter 33: Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

It was the day off and Izuku and Ochaco were hanging out at Star's castle for the day. After all it was the last day until internships began.

"You know your hair looks a lot like broccoli." Said Star.

"I know…" said Izuku, "It's been point out many times."

"Do you think you'd want to get a haircut?" asked Ochaco .

"Yeah maybe it will impress the guy who gave you an internship…" said Star.

"Well… I don't know… I mean…" said Izuku, "He does scare All Might… so maybe…"

"He scared All Might?" asked Ochaco.

Izuku began to sweat. It was probably not to go into details about the hero that knew. Namely that he taught All Might back in the day.

"You know… about that haircut." Said Izuku.

It was better to change the subject than to talk about it.

After his mentorship with All Might was meant to be a secret… a secret that wasn't well kept but a secret none the less.

"But can I even get a haircut easily?" asked Izuku.

"Magic! I'm an expert at hair magic." Said Star.

She touched her hair with her wand giving herself a rather cute pony tail followed again by doing again giving herself a set of pigtails.

"Okay if you think you can do it…" said Izuku.

"It will be fun." Said Star.

Izuku wasn't so sure… while he did trust her healing skill… a haircut was a different matter.

But then again it might work…

He still had a bad feeling though…

Though he would very much not like the talk about the fact that All Might was scared of the hero he was going to internship with.

Star got Izuku to sit in a chair as Star though a spell to cut it.

"All right! Super Hair Surprise Extreme!" said Star pointing her wand at Izuku's head.

"Uh…" said Izuku.

That was when suddenly his already wild and bush like hair suddenly expanded and pushed Star and Ochaco out of the castle.

"Star…" said Ochaco.

"I know… I shouldn't have done that…" sighed Star, "Don't worry I'll fix it…"

She took out what she thought was her wand.

"That's a sushi roll…" said Ochaco.

"Oh… uh…" said Star.

She decided to eat the sushi roll.

Then she looked around for her wand.

"I think it's still in my bathroom"! cried Star.

How are we going to get Deku out of there?" asked Ochaco.

"I have an idea to blow away the hair!" said Star.

She took out her mirror and called someone.

Meanwhile at his house Bakugo was in his room avoiding his mom.

He saw that someone was calling him and picked it up for certain reasons.

"What do you want?" he asked.

"Hey Kacchan…." Said Star on the other end.

"How the fuck did you get this number?" asked Bakugo.

"Oh that's not important…" said Star.

"I'm pretty sure it fucking is." Muttered Bakugo.

"I need a favor." Said Star.

"What?" asked Bakugo figuring that if Star owed him a favor.

"Well you see… I was trying to give Izuku a haircut with magic and…" said Star.

She didn't even finish her stance when he hung up on her.

Having her owe him something wasn't worth it…

Back at Star's castle she sighed. She would have tired Shoto next but she wasn't sure if he would be able to use his fire during this.

"I found a pair of hedge clippers." Said Ochaco.

"Thanks Ochaco!" said Star.

She went looking for them the second that Star said "Kacchan".

She figured there was no way he's help Izuku.

But she wasn't going to say that outload.

The two headed into the massive thing of hair.

They were unaware thanks to a tracker that Toffee had they knew that the wand was separated from Star.

"I have the location of the wand and it's somewhere inside that castle." Said Ludo.

"That's a castle… but it's covered in hair!" yelled Ludo.

Ludo had a fear of hair thanks to something that happened in his childhood.

"Of course… but it's just… the wand has never been unattended before." Said Toffee.

"Are you sure one of her friends isn't protecting it?" asked Ludo.

"I don't think…" said Ludo, "The girl and the boy with Super Strength are here… but I gathered information that the boy with the engines isn't with her at the moment as he had a family eminency last week… from what I can tell he's not in a good place right now and they're giving him space." Said Toffee.

"Really what happened?" asked Ludo.

"Don't use that as an excuse so that we don't have to go into the house." Said Toffee.

"Fine… but you idiots have to carry me! I don't want one hair touching me!" yelled Ludo climbing into a chicken like monster, "Move you stupid bird! What are you waiting for hold still! Protect me!"

With Izuku was pretty much in a cocoon of hair that completely surrounded him…. And moving like it was alive.

He just sighed.

"Maybe I should have just explained about All Might…" he thought.

Star and Ochaco they navigated though the hair.

"I knew Deku's hair could be really soft." Said Ochaco making small talk.

"I know right! I called him fluffy head during the exam." Said Star.

Ochaco giggled at the name.

"So how far do you think we are?" asked Star.

That was when they managed to get through and saw that they had reached the couch.

"We haven't gotten to the stairs yet…" said Ochaco.

"Oh come on!" yelled Star.

That was when some of the hair grabbed the hedge clips from Ochaco.

"Wait… is the now alive…" said Ochaco.

"Oh that can't be good." Said Star.

That was when they heard meows.

They turned and saw the laser kitties nearby attacking the hair and playing with it.

And they also used their laser vision to cut off chunks of the hair.

"I think I got an idea." Said Star.

She walked over to the Laser Kitties. She picked up a white one and a tortoise shell one.

"You take Shadow! I got Marie!" said Star tossing the tortoise shell at Ochaco.

They pointed the laser kitties at the hair and began to cut through it which was much easier than just using the hedge clippers.

Elsewhere Ludo and his henchmen weren't having an easy time due to his demands that the hair doesn't touch him. The giraffe like monster was dehydrated and other monsters were tired but Ludo kept up his demands.

However Ludo gave the giraffe like monster a cup of water.

Back with Ochaco and Star they continued to cut away the hair.

The two of them back to back, shooting any hair that tried to attack.

However that was when they cut away some of the hair and found Ludo and his Henchmen.

"Ludo! What are you doing here!" said Star.

"Get them!" yelled Ludo.

Star punched a few of the monster while Ochaco decided to keep using laser kitty as a weapon, thankfully that one Star gave her is a pretty chill kitty so it was okay with being used as a weapon.

Toffee checked the tracking device.

"The wand is that way!" said Toffee pointing up the stairs.

Many of the monsters saw him pointing up the stairs and headed that way and Ochaco zapped a couple.

Saw managed to use some of the hair to make sure one of them didn't get upstairs.

However a few of them managed to make to the bathroom door.

The bear like monster opened the door and looked inside. He saw Izuku trapped in the hair cocoon and shit the door.

"I think it's occupied." He said.

Star kicked him out of the way and Ochaco followed her zapping a couple.

They both saw the state that Izuku was in there.

"Are you okay Deku?" asked Ochaco.

Izuku whined a little. He really couldn't make any noises that weren't muffled.

"Don't worry we'll get you out of there…" said Star.

However the monsters tackled the two from behind pinning them to the ground.

"Master the wand!" said one of the monster.

Ludo looked and saw that the hair had torn away the chicken liked monster form him so he had to get the wand himself.

Due to his fear he could namely make his way to the wand. IT was extremely difficult for him as he inched closer to the wand.

And once he was finally there before he could grab it... he suddenly fell down laughing hysterically.

"It's my birthday!" he shouted.

All of the monster were confused by what happened.

Then they noticed that Star was missing.

She emerged from the hair that was wrapped around the wand and blasted off the monsters from her friends, used her quirk on some of the monsters before slamming them into the ground.

"You ready to kick their butt tea girl?" asked Star.

Ochaco nodded.

They beat up the monsters from the hair and ejected them from the castle.

The tow cut to Izuku.

"You okay Green Bean?" asked Star.

Izuku made a noise that pretty much was not really.

"It's better not to use magic on the hair again…" said Star.

Izuku made a noise that they could tell meant "WHAT!"

"Hey… you're acting like I'm going to use to use a tiny razor to get rid of the hair…" said Star," I'll be back at soon as possible.,.. I'm going to grab a sword!"

Izuku made a noise again that could be easily translated as "WHAT!"

I'm sure it's fine…

And thankfully they managed to get rid of the hair…

Though Izuku ended up having his hair in the same length and the same style because of reasons…

With the vow never to use magic on his hair ever again…

However as wasn't well.

At his castle Ludo was giving his henchmen a dressing down. Blaming them for their mistake.

"I want you to think about what you've done!" yelled Ludo.

"Perhaps it's time to think about what you've done." Said Toffee.

"Exactly!" said Ludo, "Wait… what…"

"Let me ask you a question… what kind of leader throws you into a pit of hair and makes you do all the work and show no appreciation for your sacrifices?"

"Are you talking about?" asked Ludo.

"What kind of leader had the power of the universe at his fingers tips and then gets tickled out of it?" asked Toffee.

"Toffee, what you doing?" asked Ludo.

"Your soldiers deserve better." Said Toffee.

"You're fired!" yelled Ludo.

"Let's put it your solders… Ludo… or me?" asked Toffee.

Ludo tried to remind some of his henchmen they were nothing without him… but it wasn't enough…

However any please was torn away by this "You stupid imbeciles are just going to listen to him?"

They kicked him out of the castle.

"You can't do this! This is my castle! My monsters!" cried Ludo.

"They were…" said Toffee.

"Toffee!" cried Ludo.

He closed the castle doors and him.

This stage of his plan was now complete.

But it would be a few more days until he enacted the next…

However another threat was looming over them before then… a certain fight that would push one of Star's friends to the very brink…

Next Time: The Internships begin! As it turns out Star isn't the only going to the agency, as an older student is also steadying under the same hero. Who is she and will she get along with Star? Find out next time!

A/N: Something cute I wanted to point out, one of the laser kitties is based on my own cat Shadow. I knew I had to one day... also what is mentioned is true, she's a pretty chill cat.
