AN: And we are back with another chapter! Thank you all so much for the support on the first two chapters! I love you all and I hope to keep the story going! Oh right, and as to if it was Jiro or Jirou, I found out either way could be right but online her name is written as Jiro so that's what I'm going with, I'll change her name in the last chapter later. Anyway I'll shut up now, so without further adieu let's just jump into it!
Wanted
Aizawa was pissed off, looking through the glass of a hospital room he saw his best friends Midnight and Present Mic laying there in hospital beds. A whole week had gone by and he still blamed one person, "Damn you Venom."
"We'll find him Aizawa," said a small voice. Looking down, Aizawa saw Nezu walking over to him along with All Might.
"I sure hope so." Said Aizawa.
"Can you tell us anything about this Venom guy?" Asked All Might.
"For starters the person underneath was a boy, not more than 14 years old." Explained Aizawa.
Nezu was surprised, "So young, and with such a dangerous power."
Aizawa nodded, "That's not all, this power, it's different somehow. At first I thought the boy was under someone's control, but it turns out he's not."
"What do you mean?" Asked All Might.
"The black suit around him, it's almost as if it's sentient. Whatever it is, it has attached itself to the kid." Said Aizawa. "When Mic hit him with his sound blast, it temporarily de-bonded and it looked like it hurt him."
Nezu hummed, "So sound is it's weakness? That could be difficult to exploit but we'll find a way. Anything else you can tell us about the boy?"
"He did say something before he mopped the floor with us. It seemed as if the kid thought he lost the suit and began to panic. I didn't hear much but he said something about being useless without it." Said Aizawa.
"Useless? But no one is useless. Why would he think that way?" asked Nezu. "Regardless, All Might, with the others down I'm calling on you to stop him."
All Might nodded, "Leave it to me! I'll bring in the boy."
"I'm going with you. Once my shoulder is healed by Recovery Girl, I'll join you. She should be here in the afternoon." Said Aizawa as he raised his bandaged up arm.
"Very well, I in the meantime will see if any other heroes can help." Said Nezu.
With Izuku
Izuku was getting stronger, and he started to notice. His shirts fit a bit tighter, especially around his arms, he also noticed that he grew a bit taller. "Hey Venom, so what exactly are you? You're an alien right?" Asked Izuku as he did push ups.
"You can call us that, but in my eyes you are the alien." Responded Venom.
"So I guess we really aren't alone in this universe." Getting up Izuku took off his shirt and wiped away the sweat. "Man, 200 pushups is no joke. But I can't argue with the results."
"It is for our benefit, the stronger you become, the stronger I become." Izuku rolled his eyes. Suddenly Venom sensed someone coming, "Get ready, someone is coming."
Izuku's head turned towards the land, he readied himself for whoever this was. "Is it a hero?" Asked Izuku.
'I don't know, be on your guard." Ordered Venom.
Standing firm Izuku put his fists out, that's when the person turned the corner. "Man what is up with all this trash! Why do people do this?" Said Jiro…
"Wait, Jiro? What are you doing here?" Asked Izuku.
Jiro dusted herself off, "So you really are here. I figured since you told me you trained here. I'd come to see..." That's when Jiro looked up to see Izuku shirtless. Turning red, Jiro covered her eyes, "Why are you naked!?"
Izuku relaxed seeing it was someone he knew, "I'm not naked, I have pants on." Argued Izuku.
"J-Just, just put your shirt back on." Said Jiro, still not looking at Izuku.
Sighing, Izuku grabbed his shirt and began to put it on. Jiro could hear him rustling around and through her hands she got a quick peak, 'Woah, he's got a nice body. He looks small but he has a lot of muscle….'
That's when Jiro noticed that she was staring and quickly shut her eyes, 'Come on Kyoka! You barely know the guy and you're staring!'
"Alright, happy now?" Asked Izuku. Jiro removed her hands to see that Izuku now had on a shirt.
"Better. So anyway you really are cleaning/training here. I thought you were joking." Said Jiro as she looked around and noticed that she was in a large cleaned area that went down to the water.
Izuku nodded, "Yeah, I'm still nowhere done though. So what's up? I thought we had plans for tomorrow?" During the week of the incident with the heroes Izuku and Jiro had gotten closer. They weren't close close, but they were friends. The two talked for hours on the phone, which pissed off Venom.
"I know, I was in the area and wanted to see if you were actually training here. Which I can see you are." Said Jiro.
"I'm hurt Jiro, you think I'd lie to you?'' asked Izuku as he faked crying.
Jiro rolled her eyes, "Oh shut up, look since I'm here, want to hit up the mall? I heard they are having a special on some merchandise from a band I like."
"Sure, let me just wash off this sweat and change. Give me 5 minutes, I'll be right back." Jiro nodded, Izuku went over to the small building on the nicer beach and used the shower room. Conveniently there was also a locker room so Izuku threw his bag along with his dirty clothes in it to pick up later.
5 minutes later Izuku got out all changed and ready to go. He had on a black shirt, blue jeans, and with his hair a mess. Jiro looked at Izuku and snickered. "What?" Asked Izuku confused.
"It's your hair, you look like a damp piece of seaweed." Said Jiro holding back the urge to burst out laughing. "Oh that's the perfect nickname for you!"
"Please don't." Said Izuku.
Jiro smirked, "Nope! Too late, let's go seaweed."
"I swear, you secretly hate me don't you?" Asked Izuku.
"Nah, you're actually a really cool dude. Enough of that, let's go." The two then walked towards the station, after a few stops the two got off and walked towards the mall.
The two walked side by side talking about school until they reached the store Jiro was talking about. Once inside Izuku was surprised to see so many guitars, "Woah."
"First time in this store?" Asked Jiro.
Izuku nodded, "Yeah, I've always walked by it but never went inside. I didn't know there were so many types."
"Yeah, there are 3 main ones, you got your classical, acoustic, and electric. And those branch out into their own sub varieties. Different body shape, string, and sound." Explained Jiro.
Izuku nodded, "So which ones do you know how to play?"
Jiro rubbed the back of her head shyly, "I actually know them all. My parents are musicians so they have taught me since I was little. Not to mention the others."
Izuku was surprised,"Other's? Okay now you're just showing off. I can barely play the recorder, but I do perform a mean Hot Cross Buns."
Jiro laughed, "I'd like to see that."
"I'd rather see you play though. Maybe sometime you can show me?" Asked Izuku.
"Sure, heck, I'll even show you how to play. That is, if you're up for it?" Asked Jiro with a smug look on her face.
Izuku raised an eyebrow, "Is that a challenge Jiro? Cause I never back away from a challenge."
"Let's let your actions do the talking for you. Get a guitar and I'll teach you." Said Jiro.
'Izuku, there was one of those things at the beach.' said Venom.
'There was? Huh, guess I missed it. I'll go get it later.' Izuku and Jiro would spend the better part of that afternoon walking around the mall. After a while the two got hungry and went to the food court to eat.
Izuku ordered a hamburger, and Jiro got some ramen. As the two waited for their food they sat down at some tables, "So how's the prep work for UA?" Asked Izuku.
"Fine I guess, the entrance exam is in a few days so there's that. I'm still a bit nervous, I'm confident in most things but this, this is different. There's going to be a lot of people trying to get in." Said Jiro, sighing.
"You'll do just fine, trust me. I've known you for a bit now and I can already tell you won't go down without a fight." Jiro smiled at Izuku's comment.
"Thanks Midoriya, and yeah you're right. I'll kick everyone's ass in the entrance exam!" Izuku liked seeing Jiro happy.
However their happiness would quickly turn into shock when out of nowhere the ground began to shake violently. Izuku and Jiro held onto the table to keep themselves from falling, "What's going on? An earthquake?" asked Jiro.
Izuku looked around and noticed people running past the store, the shaking stopped. "We should get out of here, that wasn't an earthquake. Something or someone caused this, and I'm not going to stick around to find out."
The two then ran out of the store and headed towards the exit, but as they were just about to leave they heard the clicking of guns. Appearing in front of them two men with assault rifles appeared, "Where do you guys think you're going? The mall doesn't close for another couple of hours, stick around and follow us." said one of the men.
Izuku narrowed his eyes, 'Should I eat their brains?' asked Venom.
'No, if we do anything right now they might hurt Jiro. For now let's do what they want, you'll get your chance.' thought Izuku as he put up his hands. Jiro did the same.
"Good, now head towards the food court. The boss is waiting for us." Izuku and Jiro were then escorted to the food court where they found several dozen people and about 10 men with guns pointed at them. Shoving the weapon in Izuku's back the two were forced to sit on the ground in a row near the wall.
"You alright Jiro?" asked Izuku.
Jiro nodded, "Yeah I'm good, who are these guys?"
"Terrorists most likely, and I think that guy is their boss." Izuku motioned towards the direction of a tall man, he wore black pants, a sleeveless shirt, and had markings on his arms that resembled ripples.
The boss looked at the captive people, "Good, now half of you guard the entrances. The rest of you stay here, if anyone moves, kill them." The hostages gasped as they heard the last part.
Within 10 minutes the police and heroes had the entire mall surrounded and were now waiting for the demands. Thanks to Jiro's enhanced hearing she could hear everything and was repeating it to Izuku. "It seems like they are part of some weird organization, something about a mythological creature, the one with the three heads."
Izuku thought about it, "A hydra? What are their demands?"
Jiro nodded, "Yeah that one. They want to send a message.." that's when Jiro heard something that shocked her.
"Jiro? What is it? What did they say?" asked Izuku.
Jiro turned to Izuku, "T-They're going to start shooting every third person…"
Izuku's eyes widened, and just as Jiro said that the men began to grab every third person, men, women, and children were all selected. As the minions were coming down the line both Izuku and Venom noticed something, 'Izuku, the count.'
'I know,' Izuku then turned to Jiro, "Do you trust me?"
Jiro raised an eyebrow, "Huh? Now is not the time for this Midoriya."
"Do you trust me?" Asked Izuku once again.
Jiro thought about it before ultimately nodding, "Yes."
"Good, sorry about this." Izuku then grabbed Jiro and switched spots with her. Before Jiro could say anything one of the men pointed their gun at Izuku.
"Get up, and don't try anything stupid." Ordered the man. Izuku stood up, "Walk with the others."
Jiro was shocked, "Midoriya, wait!" Jiro tried to grab Izuku but as she did the minion hit her with the butt of his rifle, knocking her back down to the floor.
The minion then pointed his rifle to Jiro's head, "Stay down bitch, unless you want to die right here."
That's when Izuku stepped in between the two, "Hey you already got me, don't touch her."
Blood ran down Jiro's face, "Midoriya, you can't…"
"It's going to be fine, trust me. I still need those guitar lessons." With that Izuku was taken away. Jiro watched in horror.
Izuku, along with the others chosen, were taken into a storage room where they were lined up against a wall by two men.. The room was small and the only source of light was a single lightbulb hanging from the ceiling. "Boss wants us back, so let's get this done."
Both men then readied their weapons, 'Venom, you see the electrical outlet by my feet. Can you get inside and take out the lights?'
'Easy, so, will I get to eat these guys?' asked Venom.
Izuku smirked, 'Oh yeah.'
The men then pointed their guns at the first person in line. "For our dreams!" He yelled out. However, just as he was about to squeeze the trigger the light bulb suddenly went black before breaking.
The men looked up, "Who turned out the lights?" One of them asked.
"Go now, run!" Ordered a voice through the blackness.
The hostages all quickly scampered towards the door, bursting through the door light from the outside shined through. That's when the men saw him, towering above them was Venom. "What the hell is that thing!" Struck with fear both men began to open fire. The bullets hit Venom in the chest but did nothing.
After emptying their guns Venom looked down at his torso which was riddled with holes. "That tickled." Flexing Venom fixed all the damage on his chest.
The men tried to scream, only to have their mouths covered by black goo. "Shhhh, I don't like it when my food screams. I can't savor the flavors then."
With tears running down their faces and muffled screams the men could do nothing as Venom opened its mouth revealing his razor sharp teeth. Loud crunching noises were heard as Venom bit the heads off the men clean off and began to feast on their organs. "Now this is a good appetizer."
'Let's get you the main course then.' Said Izuku.
With blood dripping down it's claws Venom smiled, "It's lunch time!"
Outside in the food court, Jiro flinched when she heard the sound of gunfire. "N-No, Midoriya…"
Outside the Mall
Police and heroes were on edge, the demands of the leader were outrageous. "How many hostages are we dealing with?" Asked Eraserhead standing around a large table which had a map of the mall.
"With the security cameras down we can't be sure but at least a couple dozen, maybe more." Said the SWAT commander.
"Quirks?" Asked All Might.
"Unknown, reports say that the entire mall shook before the men took it over. We might be dealing with some sort of earthquake quirk. Luckily, we came up with a plan. The main entrances are guarded, but our radar suggests that the entrances on the roof are unguarded. Here and here."
"So what's the plan, I can't exactly fit into a vent you know." Said All Might.
"We have something for you. While we get in through the roof you All Might will…" however as the commander was explaining his plan another officer walked in. "What do you want? Can't you see we are in the middle of a meeting?"
The officer was out of breath and could barely get the words out, "Shots..Fired. Shots have been fired inside the mall! Casualties likely."
"Shit, alright forget the plan. We are switching to search and destroy. Go in and take out any asalent you see. Our first priority is the civilians, heroes, once we are inside make your way towards them. They are locked in the food court, we'll deal with the rest." Said the commander.
Everyone nodded, "Let's get to work then."
All Might was the first one to run inside, with his fist pulled back he knocked down the door to the mall. "Go on ahead All Might, we'll be right behind you." yelled out Aizawa.
All Might nodded, "Right! Be safe!" Crouching down All Might took off leaving the rest behind. Zig zagging his way through the mall he eventually found the hostages that Venom freed running away from the food court. "Is everyone alright?"
"W-We are fine, but the others. They have a lot more in the food court." said one of the hostages.
Within seconds All Might made it to the food court where he found something that shocked him. Standing in front of all the hostages was Venom and several dead men with guns. "GET AWAY FROM THEM! TEXAS SMASH!"
Turning around Venom was met by All Might's massive fist. The hit was so hard that it sent Venom across the food court and into one of the stores. "W-Wait All Might, he was helping us! That's the real villain." pointed out Jiro.
All Might stopped, "What? He was helping you? But he's a villain!"
All of the hostages agreed, "She's right! Venom was helping us, he even saved us from getting shot."
Now All Might was even more confused, "Man you hit hard, next time try talking first." Looking up, All Might saw Venom crawling on the ceiling. Dropping down he stared at the number one hero.
"What is your goal here Venom?" asked All Might.
Venom smiled, "Easy hero, I'm not here to fight you. I was just caught up in this, these guys took some hostages and I got rid of them. Well all for that guy, he's the boss. I was about to take him down when you rudely interrupted me. Now tell me, do you really want to fight both of us, or save these people?"
All Might narrowed his eyes, "I want to save these people."
"Good, then let's get rid of him!" The two then turned towards the villain.
"Y-You killed my men, ruined my plan…" the villain looked at Venom with rage in his eyes. "You took everything from me."
Venom pointed at the villain, "Tough luck, now stay there while I eat you!" Venom then ran towards the villain.
All Might tried to stop him but it was already too late, clenching his fist the markings around the villain's arm began to glow with power. Slamming his fists onto the floor a massive shockwave shook the entire mall once again. The ground around the villain began to protrude outward sending pieces of the very earth itself hurtling towards Venom. Venom easily punched the small rocks but as he was punching the small ones a rock the size of a large truck came in and hit Venom across the face.
All Might shielded the civilians from the pieces that Venom missed, "Venom, don't just go rushing in like that. You're putting everyone in danger."
Venom jumped back, "Damn it, what do you suggest we do then?"
Looking around, All Might noticed that the villain's power was coming from his arms. He then looked to his right and noticed a fire extinguisher. Picking it up he tossed it to Venom, "Throw this at him!" Confused, Venom looked at the extinguisher, "Just do it!"
Grabbing it like a football, Venom threw it right at the Villain, at the same time All Might pulled back his fist, "Detroit SMASH!" Throwing his fist forward All Might created a large gust of wind. The wind pressure was so strong that once it hit the extinguisher it popped causing white smoke to fill the area.
The villain stopped his quirk, "What is this!?"
"Do it now Venom!" Yelled out All Might.
Without hesitation Venom ran through the smoke, the villain looked around frantically, "Where are you!"
That's when Venom dropped from the ceiling in front of the villain, "Here."
The markings on the villain began to glow, he tried to reach out to touch Venom but Venom grabbed his arms and crushed the bones. Pieces of bone popped out of his skin as the villain fell to the floor screaming out in agony.
As the smoke cleared All Might saw Venom standing over the villain, "You didn't kill him, good. We need him alive to answer questions."
"I would have killed him but there's been enough of that already. I've had my fill." said Venom turning away. "Well, that's all you'll get from me. Remember this was a one time thing, don't expect us to help you again. The next time we meet you'll end up like him."
As Venom was walking away he felt someone grab his shoulder, "Sorry Venom, but you can't leave. You have your own crimes to pay for. You may have helped me now, but that doesn't excuse your actions."
Venom turned his head, "Do you really want to do this hero?"
All Might nodded, "I am a hero, I will do what I must."
Venom smirked, "And so will we!"
Turning around fast, Venom punched All Might across the face, sending him flying across the foodcourt. Slamming against a pillar, All Might held his jaw, "That...hurt?"
"Stay down All Might, we don't want to hurt you. But we will if we must." threatened Venom.
All Might stood up slowly, "It's not a matter of if, but want. One way or another you are coming with me. And I already know your weakness."
'Shit, Venom lookout, he's going to throw a punch.' Warned Izuku.
Venom jumped back to avoid the hit but his eyes widened when he saw that All Might didn't clench his fist. That's when Izuku put two and two together, 'NO! If he does that inside the entire mall will come crumbling down!'
"Don't do it! You'll bring this whole place down!" yelled out Venom.
But it was already too late, the number one hero brought his hands together. "Thunder...CLAP!"
Clapping his hands together, All Might created a massive shock wave of pure sound. The sound wave hit Venom dead on, the symbiote screeched in pain as it began to peel off of Izuku. The attack was effective in taking down Venom but it also kicked up a lot of dust.
Falling to his knees Izuku still had some of the symbiote on him but it was just barely strings. "Damn it!"
"It's over Venom, your rain of terror ends now. Where are you!?" yelled All Might through the smoke. As the hero walked through the smoke he heard cracking coming from the ceiling. Looking up he noticed that and recognized that he just messed up. "Oh no, that's what Venom meant!"
Turning around All Might saw the screaming hostages running for their lives as the ceiling began to come crashing down around them. Rushing into action All Might grabbed as many people as he could. However he still couldn't get them all, he had to drop the others off and come back for more.
Jiro was one of the people who was running, but as she was running she heard the sound of someone falling. Looking back she noticed that it was a small child, turning around Jiro grabbed the child with her earphone jack, "It's fine, I got you."
With the child now in her arms Jiro ran towards the exit as debris fell around her. However, just as she was about to be in the clear a giant piece of the ceiling came crashing down. Jiro's eyes widened as she looked up and saw the piece come down, 'We are going to get crushed! No, I won't let this kid die like this!'
With all the strength she had Jiro tossed the child forward just as the piece fell on top of her. Jiro expected to feel a lot of pain, but to her surprise, she didn't. Opening her eyes Jiro was surprised to see someone standing in front of her. "T-That was really brave of you."
Jiro could only see the person's back but noticed black strings on their body. Grunting, the person lifted and threw the large ceiling piece. 'That voice, it couldn't be right?' she questioned as the person turned around, thanks to the smoke she couldn't see their face but saw a gleam of green in their eyes.
"Now go, grab the kid and go, it's not safe for you here." Without saying a word Jiro nodded and got to safety.
Izuku watched as Jiro left, "You there Venom?"
"That was loud! We can't take another hit like that, if we do we'll die. I suggest we leave."
"I agree, but we can't just leave unscratched, we have to make it seem like we were injured somehow." argued Izuku.
Venom thought about it, 'I have an idea, but it's going to hurt. Don't worry I can heal you later, you up for it?'
"What do you have in mind?" asked Izuku.
By the end of it all a majority of the mall was either collapsed or damaged. Heroes from all over Japan came in to help with the damage. They found people still trapped under rocks, which included Izuku who had to make it seem that he was hurt so Venom's bright idea was to slam a rock on Izuku's head just enough to draw blood and make it seem that he was knocked out. Izuku would be rescued a short while later.
They took Izuku to where the other hostages were being treated. Once there we awoke and had his arm and head bandaged up, "Alright, you should be all healed up in a few days. Your mother has already been contacted, please wait for her here." instructed one of the paramedics.
Izuku nodded as they put his arm in a sling, getting up he began to look around at the people being treated. 'Man those guys did a lot of damage.'
'It could have been worse, we saved more people than we hurt. Remember that.' Izuku smiled. 'But you should really take care of the other thing for now.'
Izuku raised an eyebrow, "What other thing?" That's when Venom turned Izuku's head, "Uh oh."
Looking right at him was a very angry Jiro, "W-Wait Jiro, let me explain.." However before he could Jiro wrapped him in a hug.
"You IDIOT! Why did you switch places!?" She then stabbed one of her jacks into his sides. "I thought I lost you! When they took you, I heard a gunshot and I thought…"
Izuku smiled and wrapped his good arm around the girl, "Sorry Jiro, I didn't mean to worry you. Can you please remove that jack, it kind of hurts."
Jiro tightened her grip on Izuku, "Not yet, I, I just want to hear your heartbeat for a bit longer."
Izuku felt his heart flutter, "You hear it right? It's still beating, I'm fine,"
Jiro felt her emotions calm with every beat of Izuku's heart. He was alive, he wasn't a ghost, or a zombie, it was him.
"Izuku, your oxytocin levels are spiking again." Teased Venom.
'Shut up and let me have this.' growled Izuku inside his mind. After a minute Jiro finally let go of Izuku, "Better?"
Jiro nodded, "Yeah, better."
"Good, so that was an eventful day wasn't it?" asked Izuku.
Jiro laughed, "Yeah it was, let's not do that again anytime soon."
Izuku shrugged, "No promises."
As the two were waiting around for their parents to show up, someone called out to Izuku, "Excuse me young man, but can I have a word?" Izuku turned around to find Naomasa standing in front of him.
"What do you need officer?" asked Izuku.
"Well we are getting everyones statements on what happened. From what the others have told us, you along with a few others were taken to the back to be killed and yet here you are. What happened?" asked Naomasa.
Jiro was also curious about that, "Oh that, well when they took us to the back room that Venom guy showed up and saved us."
Naomasa wrote that down, "Really?"
Izuku nodded, "The lights went out and out of nowhere Venom appeared and killed the men. We are lucky he showed up. If he would have showed up even a second later we would have died."
"I see, I assume you didn't get a good look at who it was?" Naomasa then activated his quirk.
"No, it was too dark." responded Izuku.
Half Truth, Naomasa then closed his notebook, "Thank you for your testimony. If we need anything else we will contact you."
Izuku nodded, "Anytime."
"How long until your arms heals?" Asked Jiro.
"The medic said it should be fine in a few days, but I get the feeling it will be fine sooner than that." Explained Izuku.
"Oh that's good. I actually wanted to ask you something." Said Jiro as she nervously played with her earphone jacks.
"Oh, sure what's up?" Asked Izuku.
"Are you…" however before Jiro could finish the question someone called out to her.
"Kyoka! My baby girl, where are you?" Turning around, Jiro looked through the crowd to see her parents.
"I should go, those are my parents." Said Jiro.
Izuku nodded, "I get it. Now go, they must be worried sick."
"I'll call you tomorrow alright?" Jiro was about to turn and leave when she stopped. "Oh right, I almost forgot."
Leaning in, Jiro planted a kiss on Izuku's cheek. Izuku blushed, "J-Jiro!"
That's when one of her earphone jacks stopped in front of Izuku's face. "Don't say a word! That was for saving me." With her head down Jiro turned around and ran towards her parents. Izuku couldn't see it but her face was red as well.
Jiro's heart was beating out of her chest, 'What the hell did I just do!? He must think I'm weird now! I really hope I didn't mess up by doing that.'
Minutes later Inko would show up and take Izuku home. Inko hugged her son and cried when she knew that he was alright. "Sorry I made you worried mom."
"It's fine dear, the important part is that you're safe. Now come on, let's go home." The car ride was slow and it gave Izuku time to reflect on today's events. Izuku felt good helping people and wanted to do it more often. However, Venom only craved one thing, the taste of flesh once again. Soon Izuku would have to choose a path, and for everyone's sake, he better choose right.
AN: Nice little IzukuXJiro moment, a bit of action, so it has a bit of both. So anyway some of you may have noticed that the timeline for this story is all out of whack. It will go back to normal once Jiro gets into UA. Izuku will soon meet some very dangerous people, find out soon. In the meantime stay safe everyone!
