Chapter 7: Stress stricken Sunday start
.
She ran from the giant, black, monster bird, what with she met suddenly and fall into a hole. From there the little girl have seen an army of bird-people ready to tear her apart. She was scared and closed her eyes. When she opened them, she found out very quickly she is in THAT chair with Overhaul himself.
"No one comes for you. I'll finish what I've started. And there are no Heroes who would save you from me." said the vile man as he moved his hand to start the operation.
Before the maniac could even touch her, an earthquake shook the compound and Eri fell into a suddenly appeared hole, from there right into her savior's arms.
"Eri-chan! Wake up! It's me!" said suddenly and unexpectedly the teen.
.
"Eri-chan! Wake up! It's me! Izuku! Eri-chan! Eri! Wake up!" shook the desperate Izuku his sister in their room to wake her up from her nightmare, this was a brutal one and he knew that from her cries.
Finally she opened her eyes crying, the poor child very bad dreams this night and the poor teen relieved that his little sibling is safer now. The older Midoriya quickly enveloped the younger in the warmest hug he could muster as he caressed her head and her back with his arms.
"I am here. It's fine now. You're at home with me. Overhaul isn't here. He can't hurt you." said big brother to his little sister, he was on the edge of crying too. However, he held back his tears to make her feeling better.
"Don't leave!" cried Eri.
"I won't leave. I never would leave you." replied Izuku.
.
By the first week on Nabu Island Momo learned quickly when Eri-chan had a nightmare, her brother is a bit less patient if someone tries to mess with her. On Thursday Mahoro was instantly stopped her crow sound mimicking when she earned a death glare from the older boy. That was a scary scene and Yaoyorozu never thought before the greenette would be angry at someone.
On Sunday morning when she checked her emails on her phone, the young heiress found one about a detailed Quirk analysis of hers and five different area where she could improve and training for them too.
"Midoriya-kun prefers to talk over to send messages, Eri-chan must had a terrible night." noted the girl as she read the message.
.
After breakfast the Shimano siblings played with Kota at the Mount Shiroyama when Yaoyorozu joined their company with a big blanket.
"What are going to do?" asked Mahoro from the older girl.
"Train my Quirk. Midoriya-kun sent me a message with instructions because his sister had a bad night." replied Momo.
"And what will you train?" asked Katsuma curiously.
"I'll will start with production speed. I'll make small matryoshka dolls to improve my rate of construction. I also had a generous breakfast to start this exercise." revealed the young lady.
"No offense, but why do you need a lot?" questioned that Kota.
"My Quirk uses my lipids to create. To replenish them I have to eat a lot." told him Momo.
"Oh." now the young trio understood, and the training doer started her practice.
After seeing a hundred dolls' creation in an increasing pace, the Midoriya brothers joined their company.
"Good morning everyone." said Izuku and Eri, although the latter didn't say the last word.
"Good morning." greeted back the quartet as Momo written down her experience of training in a notebook.
"So you started with production rate." noted the greenette.
"Yes, I did." replied Yaoyorozu to him and she turned to Eri. "Is everything alright Eri-chan?"
"Yes, Izu saved me." said the youngest girl, surprisingly she was more cheerful than the expected.
"How did you saved her?" asked Katsuma from Izuku.
"After reassuring her, we watched the How to train your dragon, where I showed to Eri, that not every dark bird is a monster." replied the teen.
"Hiccup was brave, like Izu and the Vikings were funny." added the little girl.
Suddenly an unexpected person's shout has been heard: "DEKU!"
"Who in the Earth is that mad?" asked Kota before like the others, he spotted a very angry looking blond boy, a teen in Midoriya-san's age getting near.
"He is Bakugo Katsuki and I don't know what he wants or why did he come here." replied Izuku as Eri hid behind him. "Eri-chan. It would be better if you go to Yaoyorozu. I don't want you being hurt accidently." told her the older brother and she ran to the eldest girl as the Shimano siblings followed her example. The duo knew from the tone that the greenette is probably gets into a fight. Reluctantly Kota joined them as the blond marched nearer to the greenette.
"What do you want Bakugo Katsuki?" asked shorter teenaged boy from the taller calmly, the question nearly threw the latter from the loop, the nerd called him with his full name, and he wasn't even afraid of him. Not only that, but he stood tall and proudly, unlike usually when he hunched himself over to look smaller and weaker.
"Explain!" ordered the blond angrily.
"Would you be more specific?" retorted Izuku as the five spectators watched the pair's interaction.
"What the hell are you doing?" asked Bakugo from him. "You left Aldera and being strong despite you're a goddamn nerd!" growled the furious teen.
"Probably you have been heard about homeschooling. I'm doing that. And for my physical abilities, you might realize that I'm training to be a Hero similarly like you from young age." replied Midoriya.
"Oh yeah. When did you get a Quirk?" interrogated Katsuki his classmate.
"It seems you're improving in humor department. I am still Quirkless." countered Izuku.
"Then what the hell are you doing here? And your damn training can't make you that strong." barked the wrathful teen.
"For training, I've been using a belt to mimic the effects of a weighted cloth, this gets heavier in feel every time you pass your previous score and utilizing heavy equipment for training. What am I doing here? Train both myself and others. Three younger children asked me to teach them for self-defense and their family approved the training I give them. A girl's father looked for a coach to his daughter to the U.A. Recommendation Entrance Exam and my uncle recommended me. And I also teach my sister for most of the things about the world and I teach her self-defense too." replied young master, the latest sentence threw Katsuki of the loop.
"Where the hell you've got a sister? Your father never came back from his stupid work!" retorted the blond like a rabid dog and he started to realize another change, the nerd isn't flinching at his words.
"She is adopted and if you try to hurt her any way, I'll beat you that hard your mother has to pick you up to take you home." said Izuku and threatened the furious one like righteous rabbit. His voice was still calm, but his tone became a little bit angrier.
"Whatever." shrugged Bakugo, he didn't saw the change in tone of the greenette yet, he didn't take the latter seriously, he was just the nerd after all. And he continued his interrogation: "When did you fake your tournaments?"
"Very funny." replied sarcastically the martial artist and followed his words. "How can I fake something which was in the TV on live? Because of a stuck up loser I left the dojo based practice of kendo. With the martial arts the things are more complicated, I was very young back then and almost no one took me seriously from those who looked for a martial art to be learned. Did you seriously come here to work a way to put me in my place?" asked back nice guy.
"Was that a challenge nerd? You either sulks here or just found a place to laugh behind my back! What did you think why I would be here?" retorted Katsuki.
"As I thought. And no. I never laughed behind your back nor I did look down on you." responded Izuku.
"Don't dare to pity me!" yelled the angry Pomeranian, on his shout the kids tried to hide behind Momo, she also flinched at the volume of the bully-like teen.
"Pity you? The society's perfect specimen? Your butt is kissed way much more times than you used your Quirk on me. You have everything from the start and you're mad because I "dare" to climb up on the food chain where you think yourself to be the apex predator. Sorry to burst your bubble, but your just in the middle if not a little lower than that level. Your Quirk isn't that strong as many praises you for it. I can't pity you for being favorited by the society. However, I pity you for being a fool to think you can be a proper Hero with this attitude." replied Izuku without raising his voice, although the kids started to feel a volcano's nearing eruption from him with Yaoyorozu.
"You can't save anyone!" accused falsely Bakugo, to make a point to his voice he made some explosions.
"I would like to tell you the fact that I saved my sister from a terrible Villain. You accuse me to be unable to save someone. When did you save someone without thinking about that?" countered the Midoriya which made his arguing partner to shut up temporally.
"This is what I knew for a long time. Anything serious to be asked or you try to continue your bullying of me despite the fact you want to be an U.A. student later." continued the viridian boy.
"What's your point?" asked the walking bomber his chat partner angrily.
"You're not a Hero. You're just a bully." when these words left the now noticeably furious, yet still calm greenette's mouth, silence enveloped the small island. The standoff between the two teens was being watched by the five spectators, they saw the blond on the farther side in his black clothes which reminded them to a delinquent and closer was Izuku, who in his All Might costume colored franchise clothes was similar to a real hero. Both of them turned into a fighting stance, the violent guest's was like a feral attack dog ready to pounce at the prey, his smile was a grimace of shown teeth, on the other hand was Midoriya, he stood like the martial artist Ryu, ready to fight with the next opponent. The watchers felt the ominous presence of the two, they were fire, one which had violent bursts and rapidly changed like a beat of a metal song, the other was calm, yet ready to be unleashed from the little spark which can turn into a massive storm of flames.
"DIE!" yelled Katsuki as he charged at his opponent with a leap boosted by a pair of small explosions from his hands, Izuku just caught the leaping blond with his left hand at his' right hook, gently stabbed the latter with his right as he pressed a pressure point, turning his challenger to throw him to the ground in front of him, still far from the spectators and he done that silently.
"Oof." the Pomeranian felt the air leaving his lungs temporally as he landed.
"Are you done?" asked the viridian teen from him.
"What the hell are you think?" retorted Bakugo as he leaped to stand up and he started an other attack, his right hook was nonchalantly dodged by his opponent, who predicted that easily and simply bent his neck to the left shoulder, the attacker's left strike was caught by his right hand ease when the aggressor realized something very important. His hand was supposed to make an explosive blast! Wait a sec. He can't use his Quirk!
"Where is my Quirk!" yelled furiously Katsuki, waiting for an answer.
"I cancelled yours temporally. For two days you can't use it from the stab I used on you." replied Izuku with tranquil fury.
"What?" asked the blond from him.
"I used a pressure point to cancel your Quirk Factor temporally." explained briefly the attacked as he caught and held his opponent's right hand with his left in that case the latter would hit him.
"I going to kill you." swore the Pomeranian.
"That's cute. You can yell the word die, but you never done." retorted Izuku, this made the swearer to shut up. "Unlike you, I did kill a few people in my life and I never threatened anyone at those times either. I don't want to beat the tar out of you in front of the children. You better leave the islands of Nabu and Shiroyama." continued and threatened the greenette his opponent.
"Son of a bitch." cursed quietly Bakugo, then he only realized a mistake he has done when he earned a nasty headbutt from the offended, who also released his hold. As he fell to the ground the cold became chillingly cold.
"Bakugo Katsuki. You're a difficult one to teach for respect. I thought you haven't forgotten the beating I gave you for insulting my mother. Now I'll show you how much I did improve." declared the offended teen and he gave Katsuki a faster than the spectators could follow uppercut which sent the latter flying for six meters.
As he barely stood up Izuku appeared in front of him and landed a consecutive barrage of punches each being a little stronger than the latest on Bakugo's torso in the front, finishing the combo attack the greenette leaped away from his opponent as the latter barely could keep himself together to stay standing.
"What's the matter? I landed a barrage of hundred punches and are you out of air already? Rappa could withstand a thousand of them and still punch me even harder as a retort." taunted the Midoriya his foe, the nerd taunted his bully for the first time!
"How? The? Hell? Are? That? Strong?" asked Bakugo from his former victim.
"Training. Unlike you I need a little less body part to work with, because you have a Quirk and I'm not. I am a master martial artist and you are just a born winner ace with an attitude and body of a delinquent. Get out from Nabu Island or I'll send you into the hospital. Just to remember, I could easily break your bones, yet I'm holding back because I know you want to work yourself into U.A. Leave and never return into these islands, this is my domain. I am not your punching bag anymore, believe it or not I am either your equal or superior if we count some subjects. This is the real world and not your childhood fantasy story. In the real world you can die from a lot of things. In the real world the wimp you call Deku is dead, there is only Midoriya Izuku here, who can kick your butt if he wants it. Kacchan was my childhood friend before he grew into the bully called Bakugo Katsuki. Outside of me you never had any friend and our relationship was a very stretchy one in this view. Never I could look down on you, because you were my hero of victory, the one who aces anything, too bad you turned into a Villain with a good publicity. You're not my friend. I reject your offers until you try to change your heart. Leave Nabu Island, leave my friends, my students and my family alone. If you try to hurt them, I'll beat the tar out of you!" replied Izuku furiously, his words are full of hate, venom, loath and threat.
"I'll leave." said quietly Katsuki as he slowly accelerated to run toward the port of the island, he was in pain from the short fight between the two, where he couldn't land a single blow on his opponent.
The witnesses were silent from the spectacle, this was the first time to them to see Izuku being that angry, although the Shimano's saw him once being furious, but that was nothing to this.
"We better not push him to be angry." noted Kota and the others agreed.
"Izu? Are you okay?" asked Eri from her older brother.
"I'm fine. I think I needed that." replied her sibling as he calmed down.
"Have you ever stood up to him?" asked Yaoyorozu cautiously, waiting for a lash out.
"This was the first time." answered the greenette.
"I knew you're a good fighter, but not that good." commented Mahoro.
"You just curb-stomped him." added Katsuma.
"This is the difference between a martial artist or someone being an experienced hand-to-hand combatant and a street fighter." said Izuku.
"We keep this in mind." replied Momo.
"What would happen if you go all out?" asked Kota.
"He would die from the first offensive move of mine. With that stab I could kill him through a pressure point if I wanted. Instead I just temporally cancelled his Quirk." explained the asked teen.
"Who is Rappa?" Mahoro was curious about the mentioned person.
"A strong man, who can hit very hard." replied Eri shyly.
"I've met with him a few times in an underground pit fight tournament in incognito. He is a brutal fighter, who won all his fight with one punch or one barrage until he met with me. I defeated him in three matches between us. In those fights Quirks are allowed and his was Strongarm." explained the greenette.
"What that can do?" asked Momo from him.
"Allows you rotate your shoulders quickly. Sounds banal on paper but he was smart enough to realize that's a lethal Quirk in right hands: increased shoulder rotation means you hit faster. Faster punches mean they hit even harder. He was unbeatable because of his Quirk in those deathmatches, the only ways I could counter him were being tough, dodging and deflecting attacks. Luckily, I trained my body hard or his first punch could kill me on the spot and that went for my head because he overcalculated my height." replied the teen and continued. "We respected each other, he liked me because I was strong enough to give him a good fight without dying and I liked him to be fair fighter."
"I can't imagine you as an underground fight visitor." revealed to him the heiress.
"Of course you can't. You're one of the wealthiest citizens in Japan. You're made of silk, on the other hand I'm a dented iron." replied the boy.
"Are you sure about being iron? You're tougher than a diamond." commented Mahoro.
