Alright. So Mina's chapter is finished. We've got a few more things to do… then it'll be time to do the Yakuza raid arc. Oh yeah! You get to see me in here!
Once again, check out the stories by BreadOfChaos, Kouji17, and Kirisuma.
With all that said, let's continue!

Aizawa dropped a stack of papers on the front desk. The class kept their eyes glued to him.
"Hero work studies." Aizawa said. "These are like the internships, but at the same time they aren't. You'll be working with a pro hero for a longer amount of time. Now, not all of you will participate in the work studies. Only those who have been requested will."
A sigh went up through the class. None of them felt that they'd be scouted.
"Be thankful if you aren't scouted. If you are, you still have to do all of the work you miss during class. So. With that said, Bakugo, Uraraka, Kirishima, Todoroki, Asui. You five need to go see the Big Three today."
The class turned to look at the five students.
'Scouted by the three…'
Said five students stood up and left. Aizawa listed off a few more names. "Tokoyami, you're with Hawks. Kaminari, Edgeshot actually asked for you. Iida, your brother called, and he wants you."
Gasps went up among the class. Kaminari and Tokoyami had been picked by two of the top ten heroes.
"And there's one more… Jiro."
Jiro straightened up.
"You're with me."
Everybody turned to Jiro.
'Working with the teacher? What will she have to do?'
Jiro smiled. "Okay sir."
Aizawa grinned back. "Let's get started then."

Durza toddled around the league's hideout. The small child was mainly exploring. But they were also watching their mothers. Izuka and Toga spent a lot of time together.
Durza never had seen real love before. Their first foster parents were definitely not that close. Their 'mother' pretty much served her husband all the time. Their second foster parents weren't that great either. They actually wanted the child to relay messages between each other, as they were preparing for a divorce.
So Durza had never seen people hug, kiss, or cuddle. That is, until now. It made the child a little curious.
Izuka chuckled as she saw her child peek out from behind a corner. "Durza. If you want to sneak around, do a good job of it."
The child slowly stepped out from behind the corner. "How did you know?"
Toga giggled. "We saw you silly! Come over here."
Durza walked over to Toga and Izuka. The child hopped up into Izuka's lap. "What if it was a clone?"
"Well then. We would go and beat up Twice."
"HEY!" Twice shouted. He was sitting over in the kitchen. Toga blew a raspberry at him.
Izuka smiled. "I would know. Twice's clones smell different."
"They smell different? You can smell me from that far away?" Izuka chuckled and nodded. "What do uncle Twice's clones smell like?"
Izuka sighed. "They smell like… regret. A clone is living after all, Twice would know. So it smells like regret, as a clone is just made to die…"
"That's sad…" Durza said.
"Yes it is." Izuka smiled. "Which is why we always have to be thankful for every clone that dies. Every single one of them is their own original."
Twice froze at what Izuka said. 'Their own… original…'
Durza looked at Toga. "What does mama Toga smell like?"
Toga looked up at Izuka with a smirk. Izuka kissed her. "Toga smells sweet. Like good blood. She's beautiful, just like our own blood…"
Durza sniffed the air. "I think I can smell that too."
Toga giggled and leaned her head on Izuka's shoulder.
"What do I smell like?"
Izuka smiled at her child. "You smell like the night. Slightly bitter, but pure. Just like darkness. My little demon."
Durza's eyes glimmered. "Wow…"
Izuka smiled and pulled Durza in close, so they were nestled between her and Toga. The three slowly drifted into a nap.

Mina sat in her room at the Juvenile Detention center. On her neck was a quirk restraining collar. Mina sighed and looked out of her room.
The building had guards, like a prison. It just had other stuff to do. You could be ushered out for community service.
'At least they have them do community service…'
A boy with long brown hair was slumped in the corner. Her roommate. Mina didn't know his name.
'Well… I could just talk to him…'
"Mina Ashido." Mina heard a voice echo through her head.
The boy shifted and looked at her. His eyes were multicolored. Each iris split into three sections. Red, blue, and purple.
"Yes. How did you- Wait. I can hear you?" Mina was shocked.
"It's a part of my quirk…"
"Okay. What's your name?"
"My name? I don't know…"
"You don't know your own name?" Mina asked.
The boy shook his head. "I know their names though… Sushui… Elaric… Sebastian…"
"Who are they?" Mina asked.
"They're my quirk… the voices in my head… sometimes, they tell me what's going to happen. It's like they decide it themselves…"
"Ummmm… ooookay… Is that why you're here? You should be in a mental facility!"
The boy shook his head. "I'm here because Elaric made me vandalize several buildings… It's been a few months since then. I'm losing control…"
The boy blinked, his eyes turned completely red. "Hello…"
"Uhhhh. Hi. You're one of the voices?"
"Yes. I am Elaric…"
The boys eyes turned blue. "Elaric. We aren't supposed to take control. We're Sushui's window to this world."
Mina was confused. The boy was having a discussion with himself. "Wait… a window?"
The boy shuddered and his eyes turned completely purple. "Ah… there we go. Sorry about that. Elaric is often restless."
"You are Sushui?" Mina asked.
"Correct. Before you ask anything else. I'll tell you what this boy is." The boy rolled his neck and cracked his knuckles. "There we go… Okay. So, this boy was born with a quirk that linked him to my mind. It's called 'Fourth wall'."
"So like… breaking the fourth wall? Like we're in a story?"
The boy smiled. "Mina Ashido. We're all in a story. Unfortunately, my connection to this world is becoming… weak. I need a new host. He is dying."
Mina blinked at the boy. "He's… dying?"
The boy nodded. "That's why we brought him here. We're biding our time. There's a person locked here. Their mind is strong enough to host us."
Mina blinked. "Then you need a breakout…"
"Will you help me miss Ashido?"
Mina grinned. "I'd love to."

Bakugo walked alongside Mirio into Nighteye's agency. The third year led him up flights of stairs, eventually coming to a door.
"If you want to impress Sir… make him laugh."
Mirio opened the door. The two walked in to see a sidekick strapped to some sort of device.
'WHAT THE HELL?'
"Hmmm Katsuki Bakugo I presume?" Nighteye raised an eyebrow. Mirio, take Bubble girl out of my office. Leave the two of us alone."
Mirio unhooked Bubble girl from the machine and helped her out of the room. Bakugo studied the hero in front of him.
He knew that Nighteye was one of All Might's sidekicks years back. The man clearly wasn't over serving the number one hero, as all might merch covered every square inch of the room.
"Hmmm. It seems Toshinori actually picked a good one…" Nighteye studied Bakugo from every angle. "Blonde… muscular. A powerful quirk too… I should have had more faith in him. He chose right after all."
"I'm sorry to say that you are mistaken." Bakugo said.
"What do you mean by that?"
"All Might chose me out of guilt. Because of me, the world is faced with an incredible threat. And because of me, All Might is in terrible condition."
"I can assure you that it is not your fault." Nighteye said, walking back to his desk. "Weak people, like Izuka Midoriya, are just too focused on themselves. They can't take no for an answer."
Bakugo let off an explosion. "Nighteye. I will say that I would enjoy learning under you, but you will not insult her name. I did enough of that, and look where it got us."
The hero pulled out a stamp and a document. He stamped the paper, then handed it to Bakugo. "This is what you'll need to join me in a work study. Bring it to Nezu, he'll approve it. Katsuki Bakugo. You will learn to harness your power under my guidance. And you will learn that it is a power that nobody can come close to, not even Izuka Midoriya."
Bakugo glared at Nighteye, but took the document. "For all of our sakes, I hope that you're right."

Mina looked out of her room. "You done yet?"
"Almost… got it!"
With a click, the quirk restraining collar fell off of Mina's neck. The girl picked it up and nodded. "Alright. This will help…"
"You're planning to use it to restrain a guard."
"How did you know?"
"Sushui told me."
Mina blinked. 'Fourth wall… maybe they can predict the future too?'
"Let's go." The boy led the way out of the room. " Up on the fifth floor, in 378 C. We'll find a proper body."
"Alright. Let's go."
The two snuck through the building. They ducked into hiding places whenever heroes walked by.
"Why are there so many heroes?"
"It's a juvenile detention center. They keep an eye on all of us. Keep going."
Mina and the boy walked up a few flights of stairs to the fifth floor, unhindered.
"There are heroes guarding her."
"Who is this person?" Mina asked.
"Someone who can host us."
Opening the door, Mina was greeted by a hero. It was one who she knew quite well, as they could nullify acid. They were in charge of her containment.
"Oh hello." Mina snapped the collar on him, before spraying him down with acid and hurling his body down the stairs.
"That was violent."
"I was getting tired of heroes anyway. Let's get you a new body."
Mina and the boy ran down the hallway, towards 378 C.
"HEY YOU!"
"Left hall. They just yelled at us."
Mina spun around as three heroes rushed to contain her. She quickly blasted them with acid, before turning and running again.
"Your quirk will eat away at your hands… how long can you use it?" The boy asked.
"Long enough." Mina killed two more heroes and continued.
After a few minutes, the duo reached the room they were looking for.
"Why does it have a Titanium door?"
"It's actually triple layered, acid proof, titanium tungsten alloy. This is the security prison vault of Mael."
"MAEL? YOU MEAN THE VIGILANTE THAT ALMOST DESTROYED TOKYO?"
"The one and the same. Quickly. The code is 78452376541."
Mina input the code. The door swung open. There was another door with a fingerprint pad next to it. "Shit."
"I've got it." The boy took a dismembered hand and pressed the fingertip to the scanner.
"Where's you get that?"
"The guard to your left."
Mina looked down. Sure enough, his left hand was gone.
The door swung open. Inside, the room was almost completely pitch black, save for a glass tank where a girl floated in green liquid.
"She's in a sleeper state. This is perfect."
The boy walked in and clicked a few buttons. The tank beeped and drained, before opening. The boy walked up to the girl and put his hands on her temples.
"GET AWAY FROM THERE!"
Ten heroes ran into the room.
"People just came in. Keep them off me." The boy said.
"Right!" Mina dove at the first hero, who quickly retaliated.
"Sever the ties between mind, body, and spirit…"
Mina dodged a lightning bolt thrown by one of the heroes, and quickly threw a glob of acid.
"Transfer my souls, my connections to this world and the next…"
Mina was grabbed by each arm, one of the heroes came up behind her. She twisted and flipped over, breaking free and kicking a hero in the jaw.
"And when I am ready, awaken my vessel…"
Mina put her hands together and generated incredibly viscous acid. She quickly pulled her hands apart, causing the acid to inflate into a bubble. She filled the bubble with hydrochloric acid and hurled it forward, burning three of the heroes.
"Let our minds become one, and let those who stand before us in opposition meet their end."
Mina was grabbed by more heroes, as reinforcements poured through the door. Two heroes with eclectic quirks grabbed her and shocked her. Mina cried out in pain as the boy's body glowed. His voice began changing.
"For they have defied those who watch the world, the tribunal who governs the futures of dimensions."
"GET THE BOY!"
Twenty heroes rushed the boy, but were blasted away as a shockwave tore through the room. Mina gagged as a hero grabbed her by the throat. "WHAT DID YOU DO?"
"Let those who watch suffering with glee perish. Let the world be born again in the image of balance. So says Sushui."
"STOP THEM!"
"TRANSFER!"
A blinding light flashed through the room. Three orbs shot out of the boy, and into Mael. The boy's body turned to ash as Mael opened her now multicolored eyes. Flames burst from her back, Orange tongues of heat became fluffy white feathers.
"Born again… And thus it shall be."
"Get them!" A hero rushed in, but was reduced to ashes as Mael waved her hand. Mina was hurled to the floor.
"Protect me. That one can escape, but not their accomplice."
Mina coughed up blood as she was picked up and slammed against a wall. "You know what girly… I'm gonna give you a life sentence, and make you mine."
"You're scum. How are you a hero?"
The hero holding her grinned as he tightened his grip on Mina's neck. "I waited. And since I'm gonna die anyway, why not go out with a smile?"
Mina couldn't hear what he said. She just screamed as he reached towards her chest.
"You will not touch her."
The hero was pulled into the air. He looked at Mael, who's eyes sparked with rage. "HOW MANY QUIRKS DO YOU HAVE?"
"God doesn't need quirks." Mael clenched her hand, and the man exploded. The girl waved her hand and Mina's clothes were mended. The wings disappeared from Mael's back.
"Thank you." Mina said.
"No. Thank you." Mael snapped her fingers, and the two appeared on the streets of Kamino. "You'll find Izuka Midoriya at night. The beachfront."
"Wait. Where will you go?" Mina asked.
"I am not allowed to influence anymore. But I will keep watching." Mael smiled. "Goodbye Mina."
The girl snapped her fingers, and shot up into the sky. Mina looked up and saw the girl become a faint prick of light. A star that shone any time of day.
Mina looked around quietly. She studied her clothes. A black face mask covered the lower half of her face. A few pink curls of hair poked out of a black hoodie. She couldn't hear once again, but that didn't matter. The pink girl had one thought as she walked across the city.
'Well that was… different… Time to find Izuka…'
)=(
So. Now you know how I know this story. I watched from the stars. Mina's pretty cool, I would say. She's got a lot to do. So have fun reading what comes next!
Until next time,
Sushui Out!
