It was dark while heavy breathing can be heard like someone was running, the darkness clears just a bit to show Midoriya's boots were now visible as he counties to run, after what seems like forever he finally stops and sees his friends from Class A were in front of him with their backs facing him.
"GUYS!!!" Shouted Midoriya as he then runs closer to them.
They turned around with blank expressions on their faces as they see him.
"I've came back after my harsh training!" said Midoriya as he was happy to see them. "Lets defeat Zibran together and-"
"Why are you here?"
Midoriya was confused for a moment after one of them spoke out before he could finish.
"Wha... what do you mean?" said Midoriya. "I'm here to save you guys and stop Zibran"
"Why?" said Mina. "We don't even like you"
"Yeah, you lied to us" said Kirishima.
"Why didn't you tell us you were quirkless?" said Jiro. "You didn't really tells us that All Might gave you his quirk?"
"But that's because-" said Midoriya before they interrupted him again.
"We don't want to hear it dude" said Kaminari.
"You obviously didn't trust us to begin with, don't even try talking to us" said Momo.
Most of everyone started walking away from him while Todoroki, Bakugo, Iida, Tsuyu, and Uraraka were the last ones who haven't left yet.
"W-Wait!!!" said Midoriya as he started running after them. "Don't go!!!"
However Todoroki used his ice on Midoriya's feet to stop him from his place.
"I'm sorry Midoriya, but just..." said Todoroki as he then looks down like he was disappointed. "Stay away from us..."
Todoroki begins leaving too while Uraraka, Iida, Tsuyu, and Bakugo were looking down.
"No! Please don't go!" Shouted Midoriya. "Sue! Iida! Uraraka! Kacchan! Don't leave me!"
Bakugo and Tsuyu looked worried for a moment as if they didn't want to go.
"Come on you guys, let's go" said Iida as he looked disappointed as well.
Bakugo looked away for a moment and then looked back at Midoriya for a second.
"You should've told everyone Deku..." said Bakugo.
"Y-Yeah... you should've told everyone sooner" said Tsuyu as she looked really sad. "I'm sorry..."
Bakugo, and Tsuyu left with Iida with the others while Uraraka looked away from him and begins walking away as well.
"Uraraka wait! Don't go, please!!!" Shouted Midoriya. "I... I love you..."
Uraraka stops for a moment with her back facing him as she heard that... she silent as she continued to stand there for a good while until...
"If you really loved me..." said Uraraka with her back still facing him. "Why didn't you tell me your secret..."
Uraraka begins walking again as she then runs towards hothead group as fast as she could.
"URARAKA NO! DON'T LEAVE ME!!!" Shouted Midoriya as he reached out his head to try and reached them.
As soon as she reached with the rest of the group, there was a sudden large dark red explosion as it engulfs the group and causes Midoriya to break free from his frozen place as he was sent flying backward from the blast. He crash lands onto the ground and looks back in horror as there was now a giant wall of fire where his friends used to be.
"NO!!!" Shouted Midoriya as he was now terrified of what just happened.
Midoriya begins to hear a sinister laugh from the wall flames.
"You should've told them Izuku" said Zibran's voice as a silhouette appears in the flames. "Just like how you should've saved All Might when you had the chance, but now they're all died..."
Zibran walks of the flames and still walking towards Midoriya with a sinister grin.
"And it's all your fault.." said Zibran. "Izuku Midoriya"
"N-No!" said Midoriya as he got closer to him. "Your lying!!!"
"Face it child, you're a failure"
Midoriya slowly turns around and sees that there was another sinister person who was standing behind him.
"And to think, you were All Might's successor" said All For One as his face was still damaged. "Your not worthy of being One For All's user, let alone being a hero"
"S-STAY BACK!!!" Shouted Midoriya. "S-Stop!"
"You failed, everyone you know is dead and there's nothing you can do about it..." said Zibran as as he lifted up his hand and leans forward towards Midoriya face's. "And now, you will die next"
"NO! STOP!!!" Shouted Midoriya.
Suddenly Midoriya then wakes up in a dark room in Maro's house as he gets up from having a nightmare, he breaths heavily for a moment before calming down and looking at the small digital clock next to his bed. 2:15 am. (1 day before the gang back in Japan had met up at the Rendezvous point to get ready for the raid).
Midoriya looks at the clock for a good moment with a very tired look on his face before eventually falling back down on the bed with a sigh.
Chapter 178
Suddenly cut to Midoriya standing in the shower with the water on. He had cleaned himself up after he finally got out of Hunter's room, but after that dream he had... he just stood there, thinking to himself while the hot water from the shower was raining down on his head. After he got out of the shower and wore a bathrobe from Maro's guest room's bathroom, he sat down on his bed while still thinking to himself.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"Huh? Is someone awake?" Midoriya thought to himself as he got up and headed towards the door. "Who could be awake at this time of night?"
Midoriya opens the door and sees that Melissa standing in the hallway in her pajamas.
"Hi Midoriya, sorry to bother you at this time of night" said Melissa. "Can I talk to you?"
"O-Oh! Um, yeah sure" said Midoriya as he was surprised to see her.
After a moment they both sat down on the side on his bed together as Midoriya was now a little embarrassed.
"I didn't noticed till just now, but I'm alone with a girl in my room with nothing but my bathrobe!!!" Midoriya thought to himself while getting a little embarrassed by the situation he is in. "What if... she saw my-"
"I overheard you talking to yourself from my room" said Melissa as Midoriya freaks for a moment. "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you Midoriya"
"Oh! I-It's fine, Really!!!" said Midoriya as he tries to calm himself down.
"Did you... have a bad dream?" said Melissa.
"You... you heard me?" said Midoriya. "I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to wake you up!!!"
"It's ok, you didn't wake me up" said Melissa with a smile. "I couldn't sleep because I'm still not used to the time zone here, besides I came here because I was worried about you... you sounded scared from the muffled noise I heard from my room"
"Oh... I see..." said Midoriya.
"You... want to talk about it?" said Melissa. "Are you worried that you might lose?"
"It's not just that..." said Midoriya as he looks down. "There's something else that's been bothering me"
"What is it?" said Melissa.
Midoriya then proceeds to tell her everything that happened in his dream.
"I see..." said Melissa as she looks away from him. "That's why your scared, it's really understandable to worry about your friends, especially since what Zibran did to make you look like the bad guy. When I found out about your quirk from his broadcast, it was surprising. But since you and All Might were so close, I know that it made sense"
"You are... mad about me keeping this a secret?" said Midoriya. "After all, you and All Might were really close"
"Not at all" said Melissa. "He had his reasons for not telling me and you had yours, besides he trusted you didn't he? So I'm not mad"
Midoriya sighs.
"At least you understand..." said Midoriya as he looks down. "But I'm not so sure about the others... especially Uraraka"
Melissa glanced over at Midoriya as he looked depressed, but then faintly smiles.
"I don't know much about Uraraka besides the time we've met on I-Island..." said Melissa as she scoots closer to him. "But if I was her and the way you told me how close you two were, I would be happy that one of my close friends had a crush on me, especially if I was really close with a guy like you"
She eyes looked away for a moment.
"I mean sure, it's not the best way to find out about someone's true feelings or find out about keeping your quirk's true power from everyone" said Melissa as she then looks back at him. "But I wouldn't hate that person if I was in her shoes, I probably would have the same feelings towards someone like you. In fact... I have a really good feeling that she would still be your friend, possibly even liking you back the same way"
Midoriya looks at her for a second.
"I don't know..." said Midoriya. "I could maybe see her forgiving me, but I don't know about the rest of my class mates"
"Midoriya... if I, someone you barley knew since we last saw each back on I-Island almost 3 years ago, would understand about your situation" said Melissa. "I'm pretty Uraraka and your other classmates would do the same"
Midoriya looks away for a moment while she was still talking.
"You just got to trust in your friends" said Melissa. "Even if they feel a little bit betrayed about it at first, they will eventually forgive you. Because your a really good person and that's what counts, otherwise why would All Might trust you with this power..."
She then leans over to Midoriya and gives him a friendly hug while he was caught off guard.
"If someone like me and All Might can trust you, then I'm pretty sure anyone can" said Melissa while her eyes were closed with happiness.
Midoriya still caught off guard by her hug... but eventually smiles and hugs her back.
"Thanks Melissa..." said Midoriya. "I feel like I might rest easy now, thank you"
Melissa stops hugging him while she then gets up and begins leaving the room. She looks over at him with a smile.
"Don't worry about it, I know your friends will forgive you" said Melissa. "And I'm positive that Uraraka will do the same!"
Midoriya nods his head while he faintly smiles while Melissa did the same. Then her eyes glanced over and saw something below, she suddenly blushes a little while she had a shocked and almost terrified look in her face.
"Is something wrong?" said Midoriya as he was a little confused.
"O-Oh! It's nothing, I just remember something important!" said Melissa as she quickly makes up an excuse while blushing. "Anyway, get some rest and stay positive ok. Goodnight!!!"
She then quickly leaves and closes the door.
"Ok goodnight..." said Midoriya while he was a bit confused.
"That was strange, What was that all about?" Midoriya thought to himself as he then goes back to bed. "Well whatever, I should probably get some rest for tomorrow's battle"
He then lays down and begins sleep.
"Uraraka..." Midoriya thought to himself. "Please forgive me..."
Just on the other side of Midoriya's room, Melissa was out in the hallway.
(Play My Hero Academia OST Deku's Shock)
Her face was now somewhat traumatized while she was blushing red.
"I SAW SOMETHING... I SHOULDN'T HAVE!!!" Melissa thought to herself as she begins to recall what happened in her mind.
(Melissa eyes glanced over and saw something below, she suddenly blushes a little while she had a shocked and almost terrified look in her face. What she saw in front of her was Midoriya's bathrobe, she accidentally saw something in a slightly opened area between his legs of his bathrobe without him knowing)
(0:12/end of soundtrack)
"I didn't realize he was that big!!!" Melissa thought to herself as she was now covering her face in embarrassment while imagining Midoriya's innocent face. "His proportions don't match up with his face at all!!!"
Melissa slowly uncovers her face as she was now calming down.
"I'm gonna pretend..." said Melissa quietly wile still blushing a little. "I didn't see anything..."
(Present time)
Just a viewing distance from castle, Mando uses his helmet to get a better look at the surrounding. He sees that there were a few bots guarding around the area to make sure that they wouldn't be any intruders while two large armored guards were standing in front of the entrance, Mando then sees what appears to be more resistance soldiers as they landed back down from flying the area while they saluted the two large guards.
"Man, that was good exercise" said Kirishima. "I'm not even tired"
"Speak for yourself" said Momo as she then sits down for a rest.
"What are you talking about, you barley run let alone walk!" said Kaminari. "You just used your quirk to make a motorcycle that can handle your weight"
"I know..." said Momo as she catches her breath. "But I'm trying to save up my fat so I can use it to make weapons and other useful equipment when we get inside. Besides I'm not used to this weight"
"I just hope you don't get a heart attack before you change back" said Sato.
"I know this is off topic and that this might sound ridiculous to point this out now" said Sero while Mando was still look at the castles surrounding area. "But why do our black suits have these side colors?"
(Author's note: Sorry to interrupt this chapter, but let me list out everyone's side colors for their new black suits since a lot of people have messaged me about it.
Bakugo - Dark Orange / Todoroki - White / Uraraka - Pink / Iida - Admiral Blue / Yaoyorozu - Raven Black / Kirishima - Red / Kaminari - Yellow / Jiro - Purple / Mineta - Violet / Asui - Light Green / Tokoyami - Black or Obsidian / Mina - Dark Pink or Fuscia / Aoyama - Light Blue / Sero - Honey Yellow / Shoji - Sky Blue / Ojiro - Silver / Koda - Merigold Orange / Hagakure - Aqua Blue / Sato - Pineapple Yellow / Naya - Magenta / Yoarashi - Brown / Camie - Fawn / Shishikura - Iris purple / Nagamasa - Light Brown / Shindo - Emerald Green / Tatami - Turquoise / Shikkui - Arctic Blue / Crimson Riot - Crimson Red, Obviously / Fat Gum - Light Orange /Stain - Blood Red. Special thanks to Hero-man Senshi for helping me provide the side colors for each character, now back to the chapter.)
"Now that you mention it, it is kinda weird" said Kaminari. "But it dose look cool as well"
"I think it's cute that we have our own colors" said Mina.
"Well, I added in the colors so it would be easier to pick out which is which when getting your suits since their all basically black" said Momo. "And for Hagakure's case it would be hard for her to find her gloves and boots in a large pile of black fabric"
"Thank you so much sister! Your the best!!!" said Toru while being really thankful to her friend.
"OK, but wouldn't it be best to just not wear the boots and gloves?" said Inasa. "Wouldn't the bright colors of her boots and gloves got it away"
"You idiot, that would be a horrible idea" said Shishikura.
"Why would it be a bad idea?" said Inasa.
"That's simple silly" said Camie. "If she didn't have those boots or gloves on while inside the castle, her quirk would deactivate from the castles interior and she would be completely exposed to the enemy while also being butt naked"
"AHHH! I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT!!!!" Shouted Inasa as he then looks of at Toru and begins to bow rapidly. "I'M SO SORRY FOR NOT REALIZING YOUR SITUATION, PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!!"
"Oh, it's fine really" said Toru. "It's just a simple mistake"
"He's not really the brightest, is he..." said Todoroki.
"He's strong, but sometimes he's an idiot" said Shishikura.
Mando finishes scouting the area and looks back at the group.
"As expected, the castles completely guarded from the outside and most likely the inside as well" said Mando. "Which means we definitely have to really on Uchinari"
"Uchinari?" said Uraraka. "Is he the person we're meeting here?"
"How do you know if he will show up here?" said Iida.
"Because this place is usually his scouting area for me" said Mando. "Like I said earlier, I was originally going to do this with a different more experience pros if I found any. But you guys will definitely do for sure, especially since we also have two pros and a..."
Mando looks over at stain.
"Certain swordsmen..." said Mando.
"That's one strange way of calling a serial killer without actually calling him a serial killer" Jiro thought to herself.
"Ok, so why are you trying to avoid using him earlier" said Momo. "Is he not really good for the job?"
"No he's good, it's just that he's..." but before Mando could finish, Bakugo then felt something move underneath his feet.
"What the hell?" said Bakugo as he looks down and sees the ground moving just a bit.
Suddenly the ground irrupts underneath Bakugo's feet as he was then pushed off from the ground by something, causing Bakugo to be sent flying for a bit and crash lands a few feet away from where he was originally standing.
"Kacchan!!!" Shouted Naya as she saw what happened.
Suddenly a chubby person comes out from the ground in a large hole as he looks like some kind of mole person.
"Oh geez I'm really sorry" said the mole person. "I didn't know there was a person standing there, I can't see very well while I'm digging"
Uchinari! Quirk: Mole-Man!!! He's half mole and half man! He basically makes tunnels and lives underground, almost like a real mole. Not only that, but he's actually quite fast when it comes to making holes and tunnels!!!
(Author's note: this character is supposed to have an annoying voice, so just imagine him being voiced by Eddie Deezen. If you don't know who I'm talking about just picture Mandark or the annoying kid from the polar express, he's the voice actor of those characters. I was originally going to have the main hacker have this voice, but decided against it and go for something like Jon Allen's voice. He voiced Critter in the sword art online series)
"That freakin hurt! Who the hell are you chubby!!!" Shouted Bakugo as he was not too happy about getting knocked down on his butt.
"I'm not chubby, I'm just big boned!!!" said the mole person.
"(Sigh) This is Uchinari" said Mando. "He's going to be helping us get inside the castle"
"Yeah but I'm only helping you guys get inside from underneath, I'm not gonna join you lunatics" said Uchinari. "I'm too smart to know that place is a death trap. Besides I'm only helping my friend because he promised me that he'll find me a girlfriend"
"God his voice is so annoying..." Jiro thought to herself.
"I hate to be the poor girl who has to go on a date with that guy" Mina thought to herself.
"So who's gonna be the lucky lady that's gonna be my girlfriend?" said Uchinari as he then looks over at the girls in the group.
"Wait, why is he looking at us!?!?!?" said Jiro as some of the girls were now getting uncomfortable with this situation.
"Mando, please tell us that you didn't tell your weird friend that one of us might have to go on a date with him ribbit" said Tsuyu.
"No I didn't" said Mando as he then looks over at Uchinari. "And that's NOT what we discussed"
"But Daizen, you said you helped me get a girlfriend" said Uchinari.
"No... I said I would help you find a lady friend to go on a date with you once Zibran and his resistance are dealt with and everything is back to normal" said Mando. "And that's IF we managed to defeat Zibran and survive"
"Then why am I even here then, I feel like I'm wasting my time" said Uchinari.
"Because I saved your fat ass from being captured and you owe me one" said Mando as he sound really annoyed and pissed. "I'm also being VERY generous enough to help you find a potential mate for helping us get inside. So if I were you, I shut my mouth and help us get inside by using your quirk before I decide to throw you inside that castle myself... understand!!!"
Uchinari begins to sweat nervously.
"Ye-Yeah... I understand" said Uchinari.
Naya looks over at Mando and whispers "your not really gonna do that to him are you?"
Mando makes a deep sigh as he then whispers back.
"Of course not, but we really need his ability and me threatening him with a lie is the only way I can get through with him" Mando whispers quietly back to Naya. "Even though he's smart, he's very stubborn if he doesn't get his way"
"Well... in any case, I should probably get start digging the tunnel before I make Daizen angry again" said Uchinari as he begins to get ready and checking the area. "Mmm judging by the distance between here and underneath the castle along with how many people are here, while also including their size and weight, The amount of time to make a tunnel to fit such are large group would take me proximately around 7.8e8 microseconds to 1.14e6 milliseconds"
"Wait, wha?" said Uraraka as she was a bit confused after hearing what Uchinari just said.
"I believe he's saying that it's gonna take him around 13 to 19 minutes to make a large enough tunnel for everyone here" said Momo like it was nothing. "If I have to guess"
"Hey you're pretty smart" said Uchinari. "I guess you kids aren't such reckless lunatics after all"
"What the hell is that supposed to mean fatty!!!" Shouted Bakugo who was a little offended by that his comment.
"You heard what I said hothead and stop calling me fat! Do you want me to build this tunnel or not!!!" said Uchinari.
"JUST DIG ALREADY!!!" Shouted most of the group before Mando gets a bit worried.
"Quiet!!!" said Mando to everyone as he was trying to keep his voice down to not let the resistance soldiers know.
"Ok fine! geez you guys are impatient..." said Uchinari as he then looks at the ground while he begins to talk under his breath. "I better get a girlfriend when this is over..."
Uchinari then begins digging really fast with the help of his quirk as he heads underground to make the tunnel that leads to the castle. After a moment everyone begins to look at each other fro a moment.
"I guess we have to wait again..." said Iida.
"Damnit why is this such a pain!!!" said Bakugo in a angry tone. "It's like someone is trying slow us down!"
"Be patient Bakugo" said Mando.
"Yeah, we're almost there" said Naya. "We just have to wait a few minutes, what can go wrong?"
(Play War On The Sea OST Opening)
Meanwhile out in the sea as nearly over 100,000 battleships from every major country in the world was heading their way to Zibran's territory that was once japan. Inside one of the many impressive battleships was General Dane as he sitting in the captain's chair in the main operation room in the ship.
"General Dane, just a few more miles until we see land sir!" said one of the officers.
"I see, thank you for the update offer Anderson" said General Dane as he then looks over at another one of his officers standing close to him. "How's our chances of survival officer Williams?"
"Let me check" said officer Williams.
The officer then uses his quirk while his eyes changed. From his view everything is light red while random numbers shuffles randomly until it stops at 98.
"General, as of right now our chances of winning this battle is at 98%" said officer Williams. "Although we haven't reached land yet so the numbers can still change"
Officer Williams! Quirk, Game of Chance!!! His quirk allows the user to pinpoint the likelihood of his or his allies chance of wining the battle or surviving in general by showing the percentage of their outcome through his vision! However their chances of winning or survival can change depending on the current situation, so if the situation looks grim, he can alert his allies how bad the situation is in order to change the outcome to their favor. It's great for predicting the outcome in military naval combat if everything is done right!
"I understand, thank you officer Williams" said General Dane while the offer nods.
General Dane looks out at the sea while some ships were in front of his view, he waits patiently to see land so he and his huge army from all major countries to go to war with the Resistance before Zibran wakes up.
"I will win this war... even if it means I have to throw hundreds of men to their deaths" General Dane thought to himself. "I will end this silly uprising, once and for all. And I'm gonna make sure Zibran never wakes up either"
(End of soundtrack)
Back where everyone else was as they wait for their new friend to come back, Jiro begins to talk to Mando.
"So Mando, can you explain to us why you know that guy in the first place?" said Jiro. "I didn't think someone like you would know someone like that"
"Well, when I was just starting out hunter down resistance armor and taking out bots/soldiers" said Mando. "I ran into him while he was being taken away by the resistance, apparently he survived the blast from Tokyo when Zibran destroyed it"
"How so?" said Shindo.
"Well...when Uchinari heard Zibran's announcement that he was gonna destroy Tokyo, he immediately grabbed some food and started digging under ground as deep as he can after covering up his hole. After a few hours, he popped out to see that everything was completely vaporized since his apartment was at ground zero of Zibran's attack"
"Wait! You mean if he hadn't dig himself underground before the blast..." said Uraraka.
"He could've been vaporized like everyone else that happened to be at ground zero at the time" said Mando. "He's one lucky bastard..."
Everyone was quiet for a moment as they were still shocked and traumatized from what happened.
"So... how did he get caught then" said Naya. "He could've just stayed underground like a real mole and the resistance wouldn't find him, what made him get spotted?"
"Probably looking for some food or water" said Momo. "He can't just hide underground forever without having resources for survival"
"Right, that makes sense" said Naya as she agreed with her.
Mando was quiet for a moment as he begins to remember the real reason why he got spotted.
"Thank you for saving me kind sir" said Uchinari while Mando was imagining what he told him after saving him. "Those resistance guys spotted me after I saw a recently abandoned warehouse nearby, I didn't find any food or water but there was lots of manga and hentai still in mint condition! I could've just went back to my hole before they got here, but I wasn't going to let such masterful works of art go to waste could I?"
"Yeah... food and water..." said Mando after remembering what happened. "Let's go with that..."
"Well whatever the reason" said Tokoyami. "I'm just glad we got help, especially from someone who can help us get inside without fighting the security outside"
"Don't get your hopes up just yet" said Mando. "Just because we're going to sneak inside doesn't mean we're gonna be safe either. Remember, there's probably thousands of soldiers inside along with the Generals. Once we get inside we only have a few moments before they realize what's happening and call for backup. Unless something happens between now and then, it's gonna get really tough for us"
"I understand" said Tokoyami. "Sorry for celebration so soon"
"It's ok, I'm grateful with Uchinari as well" said Mando. "In just a few more minutes, he'll probably reach the area and quickly come crawling bac-"
Suddenly Uchinari comes popping out from the ground before Mando could finish.
"I'm back!!!" said Uchinari.
"Oh wow, that was quick" said Camie.
"Did you reach the castle already?" said Mando. "I thought it was gonna take a couple of minutes, but you came back almost half of that time"
"Yeah I came back early, but there's a reason" said Uchinari.
"What is it?" said Tatami as she and everyone else gathered around him as he's upper half was still popping out of the hole. "Don't tell us you couldn't reach the castle"
"Well... yes and no" said Uchinari. "You see, it's hard to explain"
"What do you mean?" said Uraraka.
"Well, I was planning on digging a tunnel all the way to the bottom of the castle like I planned" said Uchinari. "But..."
"But what?" said Momo.
"Well..." said Uchinari. "There's more castle"
"More castle?" said Iida. "What are you talking about?"
"It's... actually, you all really need to see this" said Uchinari.
