A/N: Hi pals! Have you missed me?
*Dodges all weapons thrown at me*
Yeah, I missed you too. And now I want to apologize for my wait. I expected to finish this chapter on my vacation but it revealed that it is impossible to write when you have an entire family, who hates sitting in the hotel room.
Anyway, it's not justified that I let you down. For this, please accept my sincere apologies.
I actually finished this chapter two weeks ago but I lost contact with my BETA reader. But I found a new one. He is much easier to contact.
Well, I hope you can enjoy my brand new chapter. Everything will be known. Also, expect mentions from manga Vigilantes and Detective Futto(the latter will become anime in the next summer. Am I the only one who is happy by knowing it?)
P.S.: This is now a full chapter.
I hope you will enjoy it as much as I am.
Chapter 7: Two-In-One Detective 2009! W Time!
Last time, Izuku agreed to Aizawa's bet, in which he needed to defeat the W Dopant as well as Villain Eraserhead or else he would have to leave U.A. forever.
We now see Izuku and the teacher sitting on a train towards the city of Fuuto.
However, they were not alone as sitting next to them was Ryu Terui aka, Kamen Rider Accel, and Hizashi Yamada aka, Present Mic. The former was provided as a guide to the city and protector from Police while the latter acted as a bodyguard against the Another Riders.
But what surprised them the most was that some student from Class 1-A joined their homeroom teacher and their 'current' classmate into their investigation, much to his protests.
"Guys you shouldn't be coming with me", Izuku explained to his friends, who were sitting with him. "We don't know how the mission will go. You could got hurt or even worse."
It wasn't any surprise that Geiz, Tsukuyomi and Ochako joined them.
But what surprised Izuku the most is that Tenya and Katsuki of all people joined too much to the team's shock.
"Also, if something went wrong, you'll have problems with Aizawa-sensei in the future", Izuku commented in sadness thinking that the fact that they helped him will make Eraserhead to kick them out of U. A. for being 'Rider Sympathizers'. "I can't let you ruin your futures for me. I am not worth the efforts."
"Yes, you are", Tsukuyomi reminded him while sitting behind him. "You also know our reasons to be here. We need you here as much as you are."
"Yeah, remember you are our mission" Geiz reminded him with a pointed stare. "Wherever you go we go, got that."
"Yeah, and I'm member of your team already", Ochako pointed out with a smile. "And we can't leave you alone in such situation. Even if it gets us expelled in the end."
"Thanks, guys", Izuku thanked with little tears coming from his eyes.
It was the first time someone really cared about his well-being, except for his mother.
He finally got friends that worries and cares about him. It felt good…even if half of them believes that he will become an overlord that will destroy the planet in the future.
But Izuku still wanted to know something else. He looked over at his newest "allies" and asks, "I can understand them but why did you two, of all people joined us? I thought you two didn't like Riders?"
"I told you already that I was wrong about you. You are more clarified as hero than me. And I owed you and Uraraka-chan an apology", Tenya admitted with a small smile surprising the duo. "Also, you misunderstood me too. I don't hate Kamen Riders."
"You don't?" Uraraka asked in confusion. After their first meeting she got a feeling that he hated anything that breaks the rules.
"I don't hate them. I don't like their actions of vigilantism, but I don't hate them", Iida explained them while adjusting his glasses.
Then his glasses shined a little before he merely smiled. "On the contrary, you are not the first Kamen Rider I have met."
"EEEHHH?!" Zi-O's team shouted in disbelief at his words. "You already met a Kamen Rider?!"
"Yes, I did. It was during my first year in Junior High where we met for the first time", Tenya answered with a simple nod, while remembering good times he had with his role models.
Then his expression become serious. "Unfortunately, there is no time for reminiscing. If we don't hurry up and prove Aizawa-sensei's innocence, you will be cast out from U. A. Forever. I will assist you in any way I can or else I wouldn't dare to look in Tomari-san's eyes anymore. Midoriya-kun you have my full support."
"Thanks Iida-kun", Izuku thanked him with a bright smile. He was very happy to learn that he was wrong about glasses teen. Looks like he got a new friend. Maybe he would learn about his future too…or maybe not.
However, now he needed to bring himself to look at someone he didn't want to.
It was revealed that the last person, who joined them was …Bakugo, who was sitting far away from the group and was glaring at them, more importantly at Izuku.
Midoriya knew that this moment will happened to him sooner or the latter, especially knowing that Katsuki is going to the same school and the same class as him.
He knows that he needed to explain everything to him someday. But he doesn't know what to say or how to say it. He can't tell him the full truth, but he also can't lie to him, he would see right through him.
"Eh…Kacchan…", Izuku stated unsurely not knowing how it would end…hopefully without a bloody fight.
"Zip it, Deku! I don't want to hear your boring backstory or your annoying excuses and lies!" Katsuki interrupted in anger. But for him it was calmness. Izuku was even glad for this. He doesn't need to tell him anything. "How long?"
"'How long' what?" Izuku asked in confusion, which earned Katsuki's ire.
"DON'T PLAY DUMB WITH ME, DEKU! HOW LONG WERE YOU A KAMEN RIDER?!" Bakugo screeched in outrage startling everyone on the train. "WERE YOU ALWAYS A KAMEN RIDER FROM THE START?! WERE YOU ONLY PLAYING A DUMB WEAKLING ALL THIS TIME?! WERE YOU MOCKING ME BACK THERE! WERE YOU LOOKING DOWN AT ME BACK THERE?! WERE YOU ENJOYING MAKING A HOPELESS AND WEAK FOOL OUT OF ME?!"
"C-Calm down, Kacchan!" Midoriya tried to calm down the talking bomb with little success. "I never looked down on you back there or ever for that matter. And I got my powers the day I met Uraraka-san, Tsukuyomi-san and Keito-kun."
But this answer didn't make the situation any better. If anything, it made Katsuki angrier than he was before.
"Listen Kacchan I know that you are angry at me for keeping this secret from you, but I had no choice. I need to keep it a secret from everyone, including you. I didn't expect to have to reveal my identity on my first day. I'm sorry if I offended you in some way."
"Whatever, nerd", Bakugo grunted in annoyance. "I don't care how you got your stupid belt. I got here only because I want to see you cry when sensei kicks you out of U. A. Without any chances to return."
"Why are you saying something like this?!" Ochako asked in shock and anger. "Have you never seen Izuku-kun fighting the Another Riders!? I did, and it was awesome! He will defeat those two easily, win the bet and become a U. A. student without breaking a sweat!"
At her praises, Izuku blushed red. It also gave him such a warm feeling deep inside his chest that he didn't want to let go.
Unfortunately, Bakugo is always here to break such tender moments.
"I knew you weren't smart, Round Face, because you're following Deku around. But who knew that you are such a dumbass?" he openly insulted her which earned a glare from her and Izuku, the latter was caused much to the blonde's surprise. "Open your eyes, Round Face! Don't you see it!? The teacher didn't make this bet to give Deku a chance! He did it so Deku would never go back to U. A. even if he succeeds to finish this mission! It was rigged from the start!"
At his outburst, everyone was surprised. Not only by Katsuki's point, which did make much more sense as a motivation for Eraserhead, but also by the simple reevaluation that it doesn't matter how case went, thing would end badly for Izuku. It was a losing situation, no matter how you would look at it.
"And you Deku are the dumbest of all if you couldn't see this coming!" Katsuki finished his monologue with an insult pointed at Deku.
However, Izuku's next words surprised Katsuki. He would never imagine this counter.
"Actually, I knew about it" The green-haired boy answered surprising everyone by his honesty. "He wasn't really subtle about it."
"Wait, you knew all along!?" Ochako asked in shock.
"Why did you agree with him, in the first place then!?" Tsukuyomi asked in disbelief.
"You want to say that you risked everything you had for a losing opportunity to work with a person, who would never accept you, to fix his problems without receiving any recognitions for yourself?" Geiz asked counting everything that just happened. "Now explain to me: are you an idiot? Why are you doing this?"
"It doesn't matter how you look at things. The fact is we can't defeat Another Riders unless we have the power of Eraserhead's Herowatch", Midoriya answered with a sad sigh surprising everyone with his crazy strategy. "And we need the help of Aizawa-sensei to create it and he needs us to defeat his doppelgänger. And the only way to cooperate with him is…to agree to his stupid rigged bet knowing that I have no chance of winning."
"Basically, he is using you for his dirty work while you are using him to get more powers to defeat Another Eraserhead", Myokoin deduced his logic with a nod.
Midoriya sadly nodded in agreement, confirming future boy's words. "I see, while I would say that your plan is sneaky and very dark for a future hero…you don't have any choice anyway. So, I will let it slide."
"I don't like this plan either, but we must do this", Izuku explained with a frown. "Despite his words, Aizawa-sensei is right about one thing. Another Riders are my responsibility and I need to take them down before they could become a big problem. Even if I need to put my dream on the line."
"Wow", the only thing Ochako could say in deep surprise and awe about Izuku's self-sacrifice.
"This is admirable trait of the future Pro Hero and Kamen Rider", Tenya nodded in agreement.
"Good words, Midoriya-san", Tsukuyomi praised him for his determination and priorities. "But you must remember that Another Riders are not only your responsibility but ours too."
"Like this or not we're all in this together", Geiz added in agreement.
He felt very glad that his suspicions were wrong. That despite Izuku's dark tactics, which reminded him about Ohma Zi-O's victories via his strategic, brilliant mind, his heart was in the right place that contrasted him from his future counterpart. If only everyone in the present were different than their counterparts. "But what you will do after this deal is over?"
"I think will go to New Amanagawa", Izuku answered with a sad smile. It's not like he doesn't like this school, but he doesn't want to leave U. A., especially after all struggles and efforts that he had done to be accepted. It sounded very bittersweet for him. "Do you think Gentarou-senpai would accept me after I declined his proposal?"
"Don't worry about it. Gentarou-sensei is not revengeful type. He wouldn't blame you or anything", Ochako reassured him with a smile.
"Yeah, listen to Round Face, Deku. Go to your 'space school'", Katsuki leered in smug happiness angering everyone. "While you were learning whatever you want with your sempai, I'll become the New №1 Hero. And then I will celebrate this day each year."
"You know, maybe it wouldn't be too bad to be away from U. A.?" Geiz asked a rhetorical question while glaring annoyingly at the blonde. "After all, you will be away from some angry and annoying parasites."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT ME, HIRAGANA SIDEKICK?!" Bakugo asked feeling very pissed off from his quip.
"WHO YOU CALLING HIRAGANA SIDEKICK, BARON MCSPLOSION?!" Myokoin asked in rage at the insult. "I'M NO ONES SIDEKICK. I'M MY OWN RIDER!"
"If you two don't shut up…", the female voice called chillingly calm, but it caused shudders for two arguing boys. "…I WILL KILL YOU THIS INSTANT!"
Unsurprisingly, two boys quickly shut up. Geiz knows her well enough to not get her mad or else he would pay.
However, Katsuki was totally terrified of her sudden change in the girl's personality but what was really strange is that for a moment this girl reminded him of his old hag at her worst days. And he has no idea why he found these similarities in the first place.
Also, her outburst terrified other members of their group that came together shaking from fear.
"Now I believe that she is his granddaughter", Ochako commented with a gulp.
At the same time, adults had their own talk about Aizawa, his grave situation and their next step.
"We'll be in Fuuto in 30 minutes", Ryu announced checking the time on his watch.
"Good", Shota nodded in agreement. "Thanks again Mic for going with us on this journey."
"It's okay, Eraser. Don't think about it", Hizashi reassured him with a wave. "Also, I always wanted to see a city where you grew up."
"Trust me, nothing good came from that wretched and cursed city", Aizawa commented while clenching his fists in anger making two men look at him in concern.
"Ok, what about your cousin?" Yamada quickly switched the topic.
He always knew that his friend is not easiest person to get along with but being angry is not his style.
There must be something deep inside his heart that he hides from everyone. And Mic will learn his secret.
"What's she like? Is she like you or not? Actually, it is the first time I've heard anything about your family. Are all of them dark, broody, frowning, sleepy grumblers just like you?"
"Actually no", Terri commented with a smile. "I met all of his relatives when I proposed to Chief. All of them are kind and smiling people, except for Aizawa."
"Wow. It means that Aizawa's the black sheep of your family", Hizashi joked with a laugh that was shared by Ryu. Their interaction deeply annoyed Shota.
"Not all of them are Pro Heroes. If one of them had at least one day of my work. They would be grumpy and unsmiling as me", he commented dryly.
Then his expression switched into dreaded fear. "Also, Mic when you meet Akiko, no matter what, under any circumstances, you should never ever mention Emi Fukukado to her. Or else she will try to marry us next week."
"To justify Chief's actions, she is right. You need to get married or at least find someone, or else you will stay alone forever", Ryu reminded him with frown. "Trust me marriage will make you happy. If it wasn't for her, I would still be cold to everyone because my loss. Also because of her I have Haruna. My life never was better after I met her."
"That's right, your life become better. And this is my life and I and only I decide what is better for me. And married life with her is far from what I want", Shota pointed out stubbornly.
It annoyed his two companions that their friend is refused to see the reason or their concern over him. "The topic is close. Let's talk about something else."
"Ok", Mic return a grin to his face before continuing. "How about this Rider Kid? You will kick him out from U. A. no matter what outcome."
"I thought that was obvious", Eraser grumbled in annoyance. "He doesn't have a potential to become a hero."
"Ok, I was always quiet before about your 'teaching methods' because you got a valuable point about "There is a difference between self-sacrifice and suicidal"", Hizashi stated slowly while making air quotes, remembering time where his friend one day expelled and re-enrolled entire class of students only to teach them this wisdom. "But now you're definitely wrong about the kid. It's too cruel even for you Aizawa."
"The world is a cruel place, Yamada. You two must know about it more than anyone", Shota fired back reminding those two men about the moments where they lost everything because of cruelty of the world. "Making a vigilante a student in a Hero School is stupid and illogical."
"Ok. If you want to talk through logic I will too", Mic sighed in annoyance before showing his colleague some files about Izuku. "I gathered some info about kid. Did you know that from all participants of Entrance Exam's Writing Test he got himself a place in Top 10 for gathering more points?"
"Of course, I knew that" Eraser pointed out flatly. "I was reading results of all my students. And he is much smarter than the average teenager. So what? You don't need to be super smart to be a hero. All Might is not a genius or rocket scientist."
"Ok, then", Hizashi continued in annoyance seeing that his friend is not impressed.
"Also, I learned that he is more fit than he looks. And he has skills to fight without his Rider Armor. Does that remind you of someone?"
"The fact that both of us can fight without usage of Quirks is not something that should be impressed", Shota pointed out disinteresting in this discussion. "There are many heroes that has Quirks that are unsuitable for battle, and they use their own fighting skills. It's not such a rarity."
"Ok, one last argument. And you can't deny it", Hizashi exclaimed getting already fed up with his friend's stubbornness. "Both of us knows that Sento and Ryuga are strong. With his Fullbottles he can catch anyone of us off guard. And their Final Forms can literally wipe the floor with us. And Banjo left a print of my face on the wall thanks to his punch."
"Yeah, I remember that", Shota interrupted him with a mere glance. "I couldn't enter into toilet for a month. Your face was freaking me out."
"Anyway", Hizashi continued with a glare, not liking how his colleague just merely reminded him of that pain and embarrassment that he felt that month. "This kid could not only keep up with their Final Forms but also defeat one of them. This is not something that any experienced Pro could do. Come on! Admit it already! You felt yourself impressed when he defeated Banjo, don't you?"
"I admit, it was impressive", Eraser commented with a tired sigh. For a moment, the blonde thought that his prays were answered. "But I still don't see any reason why I should allow this kid in my class."
Only for them to be ruined the next second.
"Are you kidding me!?" Mic asked in shock and disbelief. Ryu shared his expression of shock. "Aizawa this kid is perfect candidate to become a Pro in the future! He is strong, fast, smart, and kind! All of this are aspects of great Pro, and you know it! But still you refused to take him in! And all of this because of only one reason! All because this kid is a Kamen Rider!"
"This is a big reason why", Shota pointed out in all seriousness.
"And this should be enough for you too. Riders can't be Heroes. And I will never let one of them into my class. And I don't care what Nezu will do to me. I will not change my mind! End of discussion!"
"I give up", Hizashi moaned tiredly knowing that he would never win this fight. "…but at least I tried."
"This is actually very good information about Midoriya-kun", Ryu commented in deep thought.
"Do you care if I took this kid under my wing? With mine, Hidari's and Tomari's guidance he will become one good detective and policeman. Maybe even greater than some Pros."
"Do whatever you want with him", Aizawa answered with a disinterested shrug. "I don't care what you will do with him while he is far away from me."
Once again, his rudeness made both of his friends to sigh in annoyance.
While they know and respect Aizawa very well that they knew he was more than a grouchy teacher, his current attitude and stubbornness spooks everyone away from him.
They hope that he will let go of his hatred to Kamen Rider soon or else he would risk losing everything.
Suddenly what felt like forever, our heroes finally came to the destination.
Eraserhead once again raised his head and read out loud, "We are here. It's Fuuto."
Oh, how he wishes that he would never come back to this cursed city.
Cue the opening sequence
After the train station
Fuuto. One of the resourceful and ecological cities in Japan. It was because of its strong city was created many windmills to provide power for entire city.
The biggest of them all was Fuuto Tower, which could provide enough windy energy not only for Fuuto but also couple of neighboring cities.
This city even hos its own mascot. His name is Windy Hero: Fuuto-kun. So in short, this city was perfect to live in.
However, citizens had no idea that in past this city was the base of infamous Mafia Family, Sonozaki Family, that corrupted people via Gaia Memories, transforming them into the monsters, only to proceed humanity's evolution.
The monsters, which was labeled Dopants, commit crimes with the police and even Pro Heroes powerless to stop them. If it wasn't efforts of Kamen Rider W or two famous detective duo, entire city would burn to ashes.
"The windy city of Futo", Izuku mumbled in awe at this beautiful city. "I can't believe we're here."
"It's so beautiful!" Ochako gushed in awe.
"Wow, I don't remember seeing such a big city", Tsukuyomi commented in surprise looking the Fuuto Tower. She couldn't imagine that city could be so big in past. But it's justifiable if you live in apocalyptic future.
Geiz simply nodded in agreement. But inside he was impressed with architecture of this city. Especially this tower caught his interest.
"I don't understand what so important with those fucking windmills?" Katsuki asked in annoyance not seeing anything special in them. "Those are just normal windmills only big."
"Actually, those windmills have a very important job in our city", Tenya stated with a small smile. "Wind power is the use of wind to provide mechanical power through those wind turbines, inside windmills, to turn electric generators for electrical power. Wind power is a popular sustainable, renewable energy source that has a much smaller impact on the environment compared to burning fossil fuels. It's ok if you didn't know it before. Some people are not interested in such matters."
"I DIDN'T ASK FOR A SCIENCE LESSON, FOUR EYES! OF COURSE, I KNOW ABOUT WIND POWER!" Bakugo screamed rudely making himself a centre of attention. "It still doesn't make it impressive".
"Hey, guys look!" Ochako pointed to the stand which was selling merchandise of some kind of cute creature, who was an animated red and white pinwheel headed human with anime-like brown cute eyes, a yellow scarf, green robe with white cuffs, a yellow circle with red 'R' in the center and yellow boots and gloves. "He looks so cute!"
"Yeah, he is!" Tsukuyomi gushed in agreement with the brownette.
This sight kinda disturbed Geiz. He never normally saw compassionate, stoic, and sometimes angry Tsukuyomi acted like a silly girl because of cute things. 'Looks like this time has already started to influence us. I wonder what will happen next?'
"That's the most ridiculous hero I've ever seen!", Katsuki laughed hysterically the mascot. For all he knew only Pros could have a merchandise of themselves. "Even brat's picture looks better."
"Actually, it's not a hero. I mean it is a hero but not Pro but a fictional one", Izuku pointed out confusing everyone.
"Many years ago, there was a drawing contest between children, and one of them create him Fuuto-kun. But after his first appearance, he gained such popularity that he become a mascot and then some kind of symbol of the city. This was how he become the Windy Hero: Fuuto-kun."
Others look at him with surprise. It wasn't a surprise to hear something so long and detailed from Midoriya. But to hear that it wasn't about All Might, Pros or Kamen Riders were kinda surprising and a little scary.
"What? I am gathering information not only about Riders or Heroes. There are some things that made me interested too", he defended himself and his hobbies before letting out a small smile.
"But it's still incredible, don'tcha think? I mean what started as simple child's drawing lived so long to become a symbol of entire city. It shows how dreams can really grow into something great."
"Yes, it's great", Aizawa droned boringly in background and interrupted Izuku's moment. "It would be even more great if it wasn't for one little detail: this child who created then became an enforcer of infamous Mafia Family that kept transforming this city citizens into Dopants."
That knowledge put Izuku off guard. He had no idea about Fuuto-kun's creator.
Who knew that something like this would happen in the first place?
"Let it be the first lesson for you in the life of Pro. Nothing looks like it seems", said Aizawa as a stern teacher he is. "Also, I need to remind you that we are on important investigation, not a vacation we don't have time for trivial nonsense such as tourist attraction or tourist traps."
Seeing his cousin-in-law finished talking through his phone he asks, "Where is Akiko? She's supposed to meet us here."
"Important case happened", Ryu explains with a groan knowing how his wife can be where there is a client. Especially the paying one. "She promised to catch up with us in downtown."
"Perfect", Shota commented with a face-palm. "We have an imposter who ruins my name. A Police Force tracking me down, we don't have enough time, I'm stuck in the city I didn't want to go back, and we lost our only escort. This just can't become any worse."
He just made the greatest mistake to dare the universe.
CLICK!
"Yo, kids!" Tsukassa greeted them wearing a blue technician outfit. "Have you come here to celebrate your first day at school?"
"Tsukasa-san!?" Izuku asked in surprise seeing his neighbour in Fuuto.
While Katsuki showed only annoyance. "What are you doing here? Are you a technician here?
"Nope. My friend got sick, and I am here as a stand-in", Kadoya explained making another photo of the surprised teenager.
"Your friend?" Tenya asked in confusion.
"Neighbour", Midoriya corrected him. "He has many jobs, and we somehow meet up with him and he helps us. It's actually happening often."
"Yeah… often", Geiz pointed out suspiciously thinking that it wasn't a coincidence that every time they had a mission, Tsukassa would be here to show them a way.
Something wrong with him and he will find out what.
"Also, I am kinda no longer student of U. A." Izuku stated confusing the older man. "I was kicked out on my first day for being…well, me."
"Yeah, that happens kid. Natsumikan almost kicked me out of the photo studio since all my photos came out bad", Tsukassa explained surprising everyone by his story.
"Do you know what I did next? I didn't stop and continued coming to them till I proved them that I can be photographer. Always fight for you dream till the end or anything you ever done before will be in vain. Remember that!"
"Thank you for the advice, Tsukasa-san", he beamed in happiness at photographer's words.
He was glad that he met Tsukassa and his family. Despite his dramatic flair and slightly jerkiest personality, he truly knows what it likes to have a dream, that no one believes into, and doing almost impossible things to achieve it.
He is a great man. But now is no time to be impressed, now he needs some information about Another Rider. Maybe… It worth a try anyway.
"Tsukassa-san, can you help us? We are doing investigation and we need some information. Say have you heard about monsters that were terrorising this city for a last month?"
"Well, I was here for only couple of hours", Kadoya answered with shrug, disappointing students.
"But I remember some guys telling like their common friend was attacked by some ugly creature. Did it have black hair?"
He received a nod.
"Had it tired bloodshot eyes and broken goggles?"
Another nod.
"Had it worn tattered racks?"
This time it was reluctant nod.
"Had it looked like a hobo that never heard of sleep or soap his entire life?"
And this nod was very slow that Shota wouldn't see as they are laughing at him.
"Yes, I saw the guy". Tsukasa announced with a serious face.
After they quickly asked "WHERE?!" he pointed behind them and continues, "He is over there, right behind you!"
At that comment, Ochako, Tsukuyomi and Katsuki couldn't hold much longer and exploded in laughter at such ridiculousness.
Tenya, Geiz and Ryu was holding themselves to not show their immaturity.
Unfortunately, Izuku took the shortest straw as he was glared by the enraged Shota, who was ready to tear him and Tsukassa apart for such joke.
Izuku's chances to earn Eraserhead's respect becoming more slimmer than when they first started.
"Tsukasa-san, are you serious or are you simply trolling?" Midoriya asked shakily with a gulp.
"Kid, have you heard of multitasking?" Kadoya answered question with his own question. "But in all seriousness: there was talks about those two monsters making a mayhem in the city. Half of the city gathers inside one place. There must be someone who saw your monsters. I can show you the way. I got a lunch break anyway."
"Well, we don't have any more clues or ideas", Ryu commented with a shrug before going after walking away from the technician/photographer.
Before Izuku could join his friends, Shota stopped him, "Remember, pros are not asking for help or information from civilians. They mustn't act in our affairs. It could put them in danger, or you could possibly rattle out your mission if it was a villain's scout. It's irrational and illogical. What just happened is simple luck, nothing else. And you just showed that you have less potential than you had at your start."
"I'm advising you to choose a different school… or better yet a new carrier", Shota finished leaving Izuku alone picking his broken confidence and hopes that Aizawa just coldly destroyed.
With each opportunity to show his skills, he goes farther and farther away from his dream.
He still hoped that he can convince his future homeroom teacher that he is not hopeless.
"Also, about illogical nonsense, have some of you saw Yamada-sensei?" Shota asked realising that they had lost their teacher alone in big city.
It was then showed that Present Mic was happily taking photos with Futto-kun. Both had time of their lives.
Seeing that his colleague was acting as tourist, Aizawa made the loudest and slowest face-palm ever.
He also understood one thing. He is the only normal person in their insane school.
One hour later
"Aizawa, I can't believe this you! Long-time no see!" One of the twin waiters, the one that have a circular and moustache-less face, exclaimed in tears happy to see Eraserhead, much to others' surprise.
It was revealed that the place Tsukassa was talking about is very…strange. Even by their standards. It was the first in Japan… RamenCat Café.
Yeah, you didn't mishear it. This place does exist. But don't worry this is not a place where cats and ramen can be seen on the table. No. It's just a Cat Café and a Ramen Stand was standing near each other. And both these places have the same owners.
But why they decide to combine two different ideas into a big one? Well, we will learn it right now.
"We didn't expect to see you here", the second twin, that have a square head and small moustaches, added in agreement.
"The last thing I expected for me to happen is to meet you two again", Shota droned in monotone. But if you look closer you would see a little hint of smile on his face.
Then it swiftly switched to confusion. "But I don't understand what you two forgot in Fuuto? I thought you had your hands full with your Cat Café back in Naruhata."
"We had it good, trust me", Ichiro answered rather quickly.
"Everything went smoothly. We had clients, money, the job that we like and most importantly the chance to start a new life. Unfortunately, not everything can stay the same. Our old Hopper's Café was destroyed by something unbelievably rude."
"Really?" Aizawa asked in surprise before giving Izuku a pointed stare. "Was it the Kamen Riders?"
At his glare Izuku wanted to hide behind his bowl, while Ryu and Geiz simply glared at the teacher. And Tsukasa well, he merely shrugs before continue eating his ramen.
"If only", Jiro commented with a sigh. "Something weird caused an earthquake and it ruined many buildings, including our own. Good news is that no one was hurt."
"I told you it wasn't natural earthquake!" One of the waiters called, which reveals to be some kind of octopus quirk user.
"It was a GIANT robot made of smaller colourful robots! That robot was piloted by smaller guys wearing bright spandex suit! I saw it with my own eyes!"
Unsurprisingly, his shouts only caused weird stares from everyone in the café.
"Go away, Takobe! You are spooking the customers by your tales again!" the second twin scolded before turning to our heroes with a nervous chuckle.
"Sorry, about it kids. Our pal Takobe got himself a concussion on the same day and now he sees a team of heroes in fancy suits fighting monsters everywhere he goes. Then monsters become big, and heroes control giant machines, which combines into giant robot and defeats monster and save the day. Crazy. I know. But it would be one heck of a show."
Every teenager chuckled nervously while looking awkward. Team of evil fighting teenagers wearing spandex suits.
Enlarging monsters. Huge machines that combine into giant robot. It's insane even for their world.
But it indeed sounded like a good super hero show.
None of them noticed as Tsukasa silently chuckled in hilarious situation, which only he could understand.
"Well, I understood what happened to your old business" Shota stated with a nod. "But you haven't explained why you moved in here."
"Well, it's kinda funny story", Ichiro stated with a smile. "After our business was destroyed, we had no idea what to do next. Then suddenly a ramen cart hit us."
"This was how we met boss. He treats us his best treat…and we fell in love in this food. We ask to be his pupils and he taught everything we knew."
"And then we started to help the old man as his workers. And the business was booming, and we started to grow. And finally, his ramen cart become our ramen stand, the best in the city."
"I can agree with you on that one. This is the best! ~" Hizashi cheered finishing his third bowl. "The only thing that confuses me is the cat café near your ramen stand?"
"Despite our new success, we couldn't just forget about our first business", Jiro explained dramatically.
"So that's why we decided to combine them into something else. And the great thing is, it's working. No one expected this creative move. Now we more popular because of our fluffy friends."
"I see. Well, I am glad that everything is good for you", Shota praised before finishing his bowl in one slurp.
"But who taught you to cook this flawlessly? This taste is somehow familiar."
"I glad that you still remember the taste, Shota-kun" An old voice called from behind. It reveals to be an old man in his 60's, who was serving Ryu another bowl. "Is this still tastes good?"
"Yes, Master of Fumen. Only you could do something like this", Aizawa thanked him, deeply surprising others not only by their familiarity but also by the elder man's self-proclaimed title.
"Don't ask me about his title. Just don't." Then his expression switched into one of insecure and asks, "Are you not worried that your new pupils are?…"
"Former criminals? Nope I am not", old man answered with a chuckle surprising everyone. "Is something wrong?"
"Yeah, it is old man. ARE YOU A FUCKING IDIOT!?" Katsuki started finishing his second bowl before exploding in anger. Literally this time. "WHY YOU THOSE FUCKING VILLAINS HERE!? THEIR PLACE IS NOT HERE BUT IN JAIL! OR TO BE STEPPINGSTONES FOR FUTURE PROS AS ME!"
Unsurprisingly, his speech only caused mixed reactions. All workers could only lower their heads from the shame of the past sins that they had done.
Ochako, Tenya, showed their displeasure at the actions of their fellow classmate.
Geiz, Tsukuyomi and Ryu could show their open disgust at attitude of the blonde and how he decides, who should live and die; he reminds them of the ugly monster of their past.
Hizashi, Shota and Master of Fuemen could only shake their head in disappointment at the teenager, the latter even commented "kids these days", while Bakugo is talented student, who has a great potential had also a bully personality, which will bite him in the butt in the future.
And Izuku was ashamed over his past childhood "friend". Once again, he destroyed a first expression about himself the moment, he opened his mouth. When will he finally grow up?
"Bakugo, collect your emotions or else you will be kicked out with Midoriya", Aizawa threatened with a glare.
"But I thought…" Bakugo completely shocked, started to protest.
"Despite our shared opinion about certain individuals, I still can expel you from U. A. if I deem you unworthy", Shota quickly interrupted him surprising the blonde even more.
"Right now, what you are stating is deeply wrong on all ends. Villains while still criminals, they're still humans. Not all of them must be put into Tartarus. Indeed, many of them made mistakes in the past and deserve their punishment but there are rare cases where they deserve a second chance for a redemption. And those people are more innocents than can you think of. They helped me many times in my early days of Underground Hero, and they deserve their second chance."
"That's actually the second lesson for you: not everything is black and white. Sometimes there are grey aspects of Pro Hero life."
At that moment, all the students looked at their hobo-like teacher in awe.
At that time, they thought that this guy just hates Riders and don't understand anything about Heroics.
But looks like they were wrong. Despite his uncaring attitude, he still has some wisdom and moral compass that makes him an experienced Pro.
However, there was people that still doesn't agreed with everything Aizawa says.
"If Izuku-kun didn't passed because he doesn't have enough potential to become a Hero. Then how did he pass in the first place?" Ochako asked herself while glaring at her blonde classmate and 'her' homeroom teacher.
She still couldn't believe that her friend was expelled on his first day only because for simply being himself. So, what if he is a Kamen Rider? He was simply fighting for justice where no one would ever bother.
It's not fair! He can't kick out Deku only for living his dream and doing his job.
Looks like she will not be in U.A. much longer either…especially if her classmate was that guy.
However, Alpina was another case. She will not shut up if some jerk sprouts bullshit. One of many things she inherited from her grandpa.
She doesn't know when to close her mouth.
"Aizawa-san, I am sorry for being rude. But right now, you are a fucking hypocrite, who is spewing full bullshit", Tsukuyomi stated calmly, shocking everyone into the state of disbelief.
Ochako, Tenya and Hizashi choked on their ramen from shock. Izuku and Ryu were surprised by her boldness; the former couldn't imagine her talking so freely and honestly as her grandparent, except it was more vocabulary and less loud. Katsuki was mildly impressed by her 'no taking any shit from anyone' attitude. She could be mistaken a Baskugo if it wasn't for her black hair. Geiz simply face-palmed at her words, while mumbling something like "and you telling me I am too blunt".
And Aizawa he had the scariest reaction. While his face didn't show anything different. His eyes and rising hair explained everything for him. Then he turns around and continues to glare at her while looking at her soul.
"What do you mean?" he asked slowly but at the same time he was impressed with the fact that she didn't cover beneath his gaze like many teenagers in past.
"I meant what I said", she answered firmly not showing any bit of fear. Comparing to Ohma Zi-O, Shota Aizawa is angry kitten. Only not cute as one. "Look around you. Back at U. A. you stated that you hated Kamen Riders because they break a law and interfere in Hero work and leave you with paperwork. You said that they are basically criminals that people like to worship as heroes. But now you say that former villains do deserve a second chance. It's kinda hypocritical, don't you think?"
"Don't twist my words, and don't use them against me, girl", Shota threatened her with a glare, but she didn't back down. "Yes, some villains deserve a second chance! But I meant for former criminals to become normal working citizens not crime fighting vigilantes riding on bikes around city. Kamen Riders are annoyance for Pros. They don't contribute society any help. They are not allowed to do our work. They gave us more harm than good."
"Do you even hear yourself?" Alpina asked in disbelief becoming angry with each second. "If it wasn't for Kamen Riders our world would be already conquered by monsters or aliens. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them. Sometimes there are problems that even Pros can't solve. And all your past arguments are biased only on your hatred to Kamen Riders."
"Watch your tongue girl, or else I will…" Aizawa tried to threaten her, losing his patience with this one.
"Or what!? You would expel me from U. A.!?" Tsukuyomi asked with a shout with a glare of her own. "I am sorry to disappoint you, but I am not from your class or Hero Course at all. I am from General Studies. You have no control over me! Do whatever you want! I don't care! But I will not shut up when some hypocrite asshole insulting my friends for the wrong things! So do your worst!"
Once again entire stand was speechless. All jaws were laying on the ground from the brave speech that Tsukuyomi had just done. In one hand she just earned the respect of anyone in the stand. But on the other hand, anyone who knows Eraserhead, knows that he will not leave everything just like this. And judging by his face he will kill her. But it looks like she is ready to fight too.
Fortunately for anyone, suddenly the sounds of fighting were heard before mantis-man was sent flying through doors and landing just on heroes' table.
"Oi, Kirihito are you okay!?" Jiro asked in panic, but it was calmed down after hearing mantis-man's painful grunts.
"Do-do-do-DOPANT!" Kirihito screamed pointing at the door. And the culprit revealed to be the W Dopant much to everyone's surprise.
"wElCoMe, ErAsErHeAd-SeNsEi!" Another W greeted with a smile, which was scaring all of the customers. "wE aRe So HaPpY tHaT yOu ArE bAcK hOmE!"
"We?" Ryu asked thought in confusion.
"Can't say the same thing, abomination", Shota gritted his teeth in anger at the fact that this freak caught them.
"W Dopant!" Izuku exclaimed in shock while preparing his Ziku-Driver and Ridewatch. "How did he find us?!".
"It doesn't matter", Geiz stated while preparing his weapons. "We need at least try and stop him before he does more damage!"
"Excuse me, I have something important to say!" Present Mic started before taking a deep breath and then shouting, "BYE!"
Such surprise and powerful attack sent Another Rider flying towards the alley way, far away from innocent people. And very easy for Riders to fight him.
"He's in open space. Good, let's end it!" Geiz commanded with Izuku nodded in agreement.
However, before anyone of them could put on their belts, Ryu stopped them.
"Wait a minute, kids! You can't Henshin or use your Quirks here! You are students at a prestige Hero School, if you start the fight, you could be expelled instantly. You need a permission from your teacher or from a local hero!" He warned them much to their confusion.
Before they could let out their protests, Terui attaches his belt around his waist, the belt looking like a motorcycle's handlebars.
He then pulled out a red USB stick with a golden tip and stylized 'A' on it. "Also, protecting Fuuto is my job after all!"
ACCEL!
"Hen!… SHIN!" he screamed before Before inserting the USB into the belt, which gave off a revving noise, like the start of a motorbike.
Ryu grabbed onto the handle of his belt and turned it back, making loud revs coming from it.
ACCEL!
Three more revs came from Ryu's belt, each getting higher in pitch before he released it.
Holographic red-hot pistons, surrounded Ryu in a vertical circle, making a heat vortex around him before they vanish, and he transformed into a Kamen Rider.
His whole body was covered in red; his shoes and upper thighs were made with silver; black, jutting out parts were on his shins and his ankles, black gloves and a handlebar of the nape of his neck, a grey vent-grill on his torso, thick chest and shoulder armor. And his helmet was red with a silver horn and face guard, that had a stylized 'A' on the nose, a red chin under a silver-jaw line, and large blue eyes and mouth which seemed to be one single piece of visor-glass.
He transformed into his Hero Form. He is a Motorcycle Hero: Kamen Rider Accel.
"Now, let's shake it off!" He shouted before pulling out his signature weapon, which is massive red, black, and red sword – Engine Blade.
"yOu ThInK yOuRe sO tOuGh!?" W Dopant sneered in annoyance. "yOu ArE nO mAtCh FoR uS!"
"I kinda doubt it", Accel scoffed before inserting Gaia Memory into his weapon.
ENGINE!
JET!
"dOn'T sCrEw WiTh Us!" Another Rider screeched and run to attack red Rider, who masterfully blocked 'his' rapid punches before countering with strong flaming slashes, stumbling the enemy. "wHaT tHe?! hOw!?"
"Please, I know the real W. You really expect a cheap a knock off copy could surprise me?" Ryu scoffed cockily before reading his sword for another attack. "I can predict your attacks even before you start moving.
"rEaLlY? hOw AbOuT tHiS?!" Another W asked with a snarl before switching 'his' attributes. "cAn YoU dOdGe ThOsE tOo?!"
tRiGgEr!
And then 'he' started to shoot him down via his light blue riffle, catching the Motorcycle Hero off guard.
While the shots weren't so powerful, they were very fast, so fast that he couldn't dodge them at all.
But fortunately, he doesn't need to.
"Actually, I can", Accel answered while his visor glowed blue. He then jumps in the air while taking off his belt. What happens next completely shocks everyone. Because he is…transforming.
His 'backpack' switched on the front becoming a front wheel while his legs combine and becomes a rear wheel with exhaust pipe. And finally, his torso become a main body and his driver become literally a handlebar. It was Accel's Bike Form.
"EEEEHHHHH!?" everyone from our group, except for Izuku and Shota, shouted in disbelief.
It wasn't an everyday when a person transforms into freaking literally bike. There wasn't a quirk that can do possibly something like this. Kamen Rider are mysterious. "HE BECAME A BIKE!?"
"Well, people didn't label him as the Motorcycle Hero for nothing", Izuku commented with a shrug, already knowing about Accel's ability from his research.
Aizawa just casually nodded in agreement, already seeing something like this after knowing this man for years.
Accel decided to use Another W's confusion and starts to attack him by slamming his wheels against him. And it was working very well, as using his superior speed, Bike Rider dodges any attack and even counters them.
But it wasn't enough for W Dopant to give up.
lUnA! jOkEr!
'He' then uses 'his' long-disfigured tentacle-like right arm and grabs Accel's rear wheel much to his surprise.
Before the Bike Rider could realise what is going on, Another W slammed him on the ground repeatedly, making him to transform back into his Base Form.
"sEe? wE tOlD yOu ThAt We ArE sTrOnG!" Another Rider sneered mockingly at his fallen foe. "nOw YoU wIlL fALl AgAiNsT mE! aNd AiZaWa-SeNsEi WiLl Be NeXt!"
"Come on Hidari! Where are you!?" Accel thought furiously feeling very sore to stand up.
VROOOOOM!
Before the boys could join in the fray, they suddenly heard the rev of a bike. They look up and sees a green and black motorcycle in the air, which looks like Honda CBR1000RR. And then the driver jumps off from it before kicking monster away. And this time the damage was more severe than from others.
"Finally. What took you so long?" Ryu asked in annoyance the only one who wasn't in awe at the new figure nor his stunt.
"Lots of traffic. And your wife and daughter, mostly the latter", the figure explained in a cool fashion. It was then revealed that the figure looks the same as Sento's W Form back in U. A. only with some differences. First, this guy was fully black with purple aspects and no green and yellow, and no grey vertical line. The second, it had a different Driver. It was the red one with a silver slot, that kept the same USB as Accel only black in colour and with letter 'J'.
It is Kirifuda Hero: Kamen Rider Joker, it is one of W's alter-egos, which appears when the main Rider is unavailable. "And looks like you found the imposter. Where is the second one?"
"Dunno. He found us", Accel explained with a sigh. "Care to get rid of him?"
"Is that supposed to be a question?" Joker asked cockily before turning to his monster counterpart. "And you, dirty imposter. Now, count up your sins!"
hEaT!
"oUr SiN iS aIzAwA-sEnSeI!" Another W screeched in anger before punching Joker and engulfing him into the fire explosion much to the shock of audience. "yOu ReAlLy ThOuGhT tHaT yOu'rE a mAtCh FoR uS?"
"Actually, half of me is far stronger than your entire body", the black Kamen Rider called from fire explosion much to the shock of the monster.
It was an even bigger shock when it revealed that hero was unharmed and was holding the red arm without any trouble before wrenching it painfully.
Then he started to counterattack by giving very fast punches disorienting the imposter. "Also, I am hot even without the flames."
Meanwhile our heroes were trying to process the situation in front of them.
"Who is this guy? Is it supposed to be W or Sento's long-distant relative?" Present Mic answered in confusion seeing a resemblance between Joker and Build.
"Zi-O, do you know something about him?" Geiz asked green-haired teenager using his code name.
"It's Joker, apparently" Izuku answered with a shrug not knowing the answer either. "I actually don't know much about him. Joker only appeared when W is unavailable. But who he is I have no idea. Only the fact that he uses the same Gaia Memories as the former."
"Like always, nothing useful from you", Katsuki grunted in annoyance. "First time your stalking could become beneficial, and you failed."
"Hey, I don't know everything about them!" Izuku protested angrily. "And it's not stalking, it's data gathering."
"Quiet you two", Shota stopped the fight before it could become worse. "Joker actually is half of detective duo."
"Half?" Tenya asked in confusion.
"Yeah, a half", Aizawa repeated himself this time forcefully while clenching his fist in anger. "A lousy half."
No one noticed his reaction, except for Izuku, who started to realise something.
At the same time, the fight was coming to its end. Joker has experience that tops W Dopant's powers much to the monster's shock.
"Let's finish this", The Kamen Rider said while kicking his opponent, who started to sparkle from the damage, and pointed to him while flicking his wrist.
"nOt YeT. wE aRe NoT gOnNa LoSe!…" Another W screamed in protest while feeling a greater pain than from his previous fights. "…NoT uNtIl AiZaWa-SeNsEi PaYs FoR wHaT hE HaD dOnE tO uS aNd OuR fAmIlIeS! hE wIlL pAy WiTh HiS lIfE!"
And with a primal roar he slammed his hands down creating a big explosion that made everyone to shield their eyes. When they opened then, they saw that monster disappeared, leaving only scorched ground in its place.
"Coward", Joker tched in annoyance at the imposter's tactics.
He then took out his Gaia Memory, revealing himself to be Shotaro Hidari, who then looks at the group in surprise.
But it was only one person who caught his attention. Seeing him again caused for Rider a great sorrow. "Shota."
"Hidari", Eraserhead grumbled feeling only anger.
Their short conservation surprised students and Present Mic. It was surprising that their homeroom teacher, or old friend, and Futo's Kamen Rider knows each other.
They are of course; had no idea what happened between two of them but judging by the intense stares they were giving each other it was deep serious.
Unexpectedly, some blur ran between them and…
"Ouch!" Shotaro cried in pain holding his forehead.
…hits Shotaro with a green slipper, which had an 'idiot' printed on it with golden kanji.
The culprit revealed to be a young woman in her late twenties or early thirties, holding a smoking slipper, with brown hair tied back into a simple ponytail, brown eyes and wearing a green shirt, blue jeans, and black shoes.
Accompanying her was a little girl, who looked like the former, probably her daughter. She was holding a similar green slipper only smaller and with white kanji 'silly uncle' printed on it.
This was Akiko Narumi-Terui and Haruna Terui. Wife and daughter of Ryu Terui; cousin and 'niece' of Shota Aizawa respectively. The former was also an owner of Narumi Detective Office and the boss of Shotaro and Philip.
And she is less than pleased from the stunt of her worker.
"What were you thinking when you left me, Haruna and Tokime alone?!" Akiko demanded before hitting him again. "Don't you know that it's rude to leave three pretty girls alone in the city?! You are lucky that I know a short cut to this place!"
"I had no choice, Akiko!" Shotaro protested in pain. "One of the imposters were wreaking havoc here! I tried to be here as soon as possible."
"Imposter, you said", Akiko mouthed in understanding. "But how did you know that he was here?"
"I had a reliable source", the detective answered proudly.
"But who is it?" Akiko asked in curiosity. "Watcherman is on sick, Santa-chan is on vacation and Queen & Elizabeth at their tour. We are out of sources. Who is your new source?"
Shotaro wanted to say that guy's name, only to be stooped as he sees a smirking Tsukassa, who shakes his head as to say 'no-no'. He even crossed his arms for more emphasize.
"The true hard-boiled detective never gives away his secrets", he seriously said not easing Akiko's anger.
At that second, Haruna turns around and sees the confused, except for the two of them, group of people. Quickly recognizing two of them, her eyes light up just like New Year's Tree.
"Daddy! Uncle Shota!" she cheered before running to hug both of men.
"Haruna!" Ryu cheered with a happy smile, accepting the hug, and most importantly losing his tough and serious cop attitude much to the surprise of the audience.
"You grew, Haruna-chan", Shota greeted her with a silly smile, making students and especially Present Mic to draw their jaws from disbelief. To see the most depressing man alive smiling is terrifying. "And it's still, the first cousin, once removed."
"YOU CAN SMILE?!" Hizashi asked his best friend in astonishment. For all his years of knowing Shota, he learnt one thing – this man is incapable to smile. Even when he is happy. If he ever happy
"If you tell someone about this, I will kill you and hide your corpse where no one would ever find it", Shota threatened him in whisper making the blonde man to shudder in fright. He knows how to be frightful.
"Sho-chan! ~" Akiko greeted them with a smile. This time it made Aizawa shudder in fear. "How I missed you! ~"
"Hello, Akiko", he said dryly while trying to ignore giggles from his back. "By the way, why Haruna not in school?"
At the mention of this word, Haruna made a face of disgust. Looks like she doesn't like schools. But who would?
"She doesn't like the s-word", she explained with a wince not saying the taboo. "But if you are curious, her teacher called and told that entire facility is on quarantine. It's a vacation for kids."
"Hi, Aizawa's smiling and happy cousin", Hizashi greeted her with a wave. "My name is Hizashi Yamada, I am your cousin's colleague and best friend."
"The latter is false", rebuked Shota with a disdain.
"Oh yeah, I remember you from Sho-chan's letters. He calls you 'the most annoying, dumb and loud person, he ever met in his entire life'", she quoted much to the shock and betrayal of Present Mic. "Don't worry about it. In his language, he meant that as a compliment."
"Anyway, I am very happy to meet Sho-chan's friends from work. He never tells me about them. And I glad that there are people, who take care of my baby cousin. ~"
At these words, all teenagers, even Tenya and Geiz, was struggling to hold their breath and trying not to burst out of laughing.
"Akiko I am older than you!" Aizawa protested on anger when his best friend started to chuckle at his expense.
"If you were older cousin, you would stop to act like a grumpy baby~", Akiko fired back with a cute pout.
It was too much for the teenagers.
"PPFFTT!" They burst out of laughing no longer caring about the consequences.
It didn't help the fact that Ryu, Haruna and even Tsukassa were joining in. And Hizashi as Shota's most loyal friend was rolling on the ground roaring with a laughter and tears in his eyes.
"I am sorry for interrupting you reunion but are we not supposed to have an investigation?" Shotaro asked in serious tone. He was the only one who wasn't laughing at Shota's misery, only merely smiling.
He was also sure that by judging by the Erasure Hero's twitching eye, he is ready to prove why he is the best unofficial Underground Hero in Japan.
"Oh yeah, that's reminds me", Akiko stated before creating another green slipper and… hitting Shota at forehead to the ever-growing surprise of others. "Why haven't you looked at my warnings!? Ryu-kun was doing everything from keeping the entire Fuuto Police department from arresting you! Baka Shota!"
"How am I supposed to know that for once all that useless stuff that you send me would be important?" He answered sarcastically and without any emotion, it once again earned him another slap on the forehead. "ARGH! What that stuff is made off?!"
This cousin squabble made everyone to sweat drop from shear absurdity.
It could continue for hours, if only not for sweet and innocent Haruna, who asked, "Mommy have we lost Auntie Tokime?"
It made all of team W to freeze from shock before face-palming themselves for forgetting about their newest teammate.
"I am over here", the angelic voice called with panting. All boys look at the source of the voice…only to widen their eyes at the gorgeous beauty in front of them.
She was a beautiful woman with a figure of a model. Breasts that were at least DD if not bigger, and a slender waist. And her clothes just showed this off more. Her hip-length dress was semi-see-through, showing the tight black tube she wore underneath. And she wore tight black leather hip hugger jeans with the top Hutton undone alongside some high heeled leather boots. Her name is Tokime. An amnesiac woman who was found by Shotaro and become his detective assistant.
Unsurprisingly she made all male characters, except for Shota and Tsukassa, to blush with her gorgeous appearance.
Katsuki and Tenya freeze on the spot with their mouths shut; Geiz and Hizashi dropped their jaws. And Izuku…well, he got the worst reaction of them.
He was shaking from the shock of seeing this beauty. He had no idea how to act in front of the girls let alone gorgeous women. And he tries very hard not to stare at her well-endowed part of her anatomy.
"B-b-b-b-b-…" he stuttered in his head while his eyes lost his irises.
"…BOOBS!" Ochako unknowingly finished his thoughts looking very crestfallen along with Tsukuyomi.
While both girls are far from being flat-chested, they still feel insecure about their looks, appearances and bodies comparing to this "gorgeous goddess of Fuuto".
They also felt a deep feeling of jealousy of seeing their respective best friend ogling this woman in awe.
"Sorry about that Tokime", Akiko apologized sheepishly. "Well, we don't have any time to lose. Shotaro let them to our office."
"Oi, wait a minute!" Shotaro protested angrily. "I know the situation and I agreed to help but I didn't count them! I am not working with children! What are you even doing here?"
"They are students of Hero Course and Aizawa is their homeroom teacher", Ryu explained with a sigh.
"You are letting kids to solve your problems?" The detective asked the Pro with a frown. "That's pretty low for you, Aizawa."
"I didn't ask for your opinion, Hidari", Shota countered with a glare. "And they are here not by my choice either. I only needed this one and others are his friends that followed him."
"Actually, I need to admit that, for now, I am merely an acquittance with Midoriya-kun", Tenya added. "We didn't get to know each other enough that I would consider ourselves friends."
"AND I AIN'T FRIENDS WITH EITHER OF THEM!" Katsuki roared in rage disturbing everyone.
"Who wants to be friends with you?" Geiz, Tsukuyomi and Ochako at the same time at the blonde's man attitude.
"Wow, what a ball of sunshine you are", Shotaro commented sarcastically, getting cute giggles from Tokime. "Anyway, I am not working with children. That's my principle. You can go home."
Everyone started to protest, stating why kids need to stay, Akiko even pulls out 10 slippers ready to hit him, but Shotaro would stay firmly on his words. Nothing would change his decision.
Except for…
Tsukassa who was going behind everyone's back and points at Izuku and gives Shotaro many slow nods. He also mouthed something, but hard-boiled detective understands immediately what photographer was mouthing. It was 'Henshin'.
"Fine, you win. Only because it's emergency I will make an exception", Shotaro said again surprising everyone that he switched his mind so quickly.
Especially Akiko, Ryu, Tokime and Shota. "Hey, what are you waiting for? We almost out of time. Come on, I will show you, our hideout."
Despite their confusion, the group follows the detective, who sat on his bike and lets Tokime sits and hugs him from behind and drives forward to the W's base.
"Well, my job here is done. Now everything depends on Shotaro and Philip", Tsukasa smiled cockily looking as Izuku's group are disappearing from his sight.
He looked at the Fumen asking, "Hey old man, can I have four bowls of ramen to go? I have a big family."
The elder man simply nodded and went to his shop to make an order while photographer took a picture from a Futto Tower.
35 minutes later
Narumi Detective Office
"Is that supposed to be "The Best Detective Office in Japan"?" Bakugo asked seeing a refurbished pool center with a wooden plaque on the front, which read 'Solves cases with Hard-Boiled determination.' But angry blonde has no idea what this office was dealing with. "This building looks like it needs to be demolished already."
"Kid, never judge a book by its cover", Shotaro pointed out calmly while opening the door for them. But inside he really wanted to knock this teen's teeth in for disrespecting the building where his boss started this office.
"Philip-kun! We're home!" Akiko called entering the building. "And we got guests!"
"Hi, guys", Philip greets them carrying his guitar. His girlish-like looks and outfits disturbed students and two teachers a bit. "My name is Philip, pleased to meet you."
"Pleased to meet you too, Philip-sempai", Izuku greeted him with a smile. It also somehow confused older rider.
"He is the newest Kamen Rider that appeared couple of months ago", Shotaro explained to his partner.
"Oh, I see. It's the long time, since Gentarou-kun when we got a junior Rider", Philip smiled at the news. "Also, you were away for too long. I was busy entertaining our client. He also likes my music."
"He's here?!" Akiko and Shotaro asked in shock.
"Yup, and he got tired of waiting for you two", the male voice grumbled, which was very familiar to Aizawa.
It was revealed to be a man in his late 40's with a slim physique to his overall body structure. He has lengthy, somewhat-messy dark hair, with little grays in there, tied in a long ponytail, and has long bangs that covers the right side of his face, and he has a short mustache and beard. His name is Tenma Nakaoji, also known as Pro Hero His Purple Highness. Or retired Pro Hero, who left his job 3 years ago. "You still haven't learned to smile, Shota-kun?"
Aizawa was surprised to see his old mentor here that he didn't even bother to roll his eyes in annoyance. This man would never change. "Glad to see you, Nakaoji-san. Surprised that you're still alive."
"And you haven't changed one bit Shota-kun", Tenma nodded in agreement. He then looks at Akiko and smiles. "Hi, Aki-chan."
"Tenma-san, long time no see!" she beamed in happiness at seeing the older man. Ryu even shook his hand.
"Wait, you two know each other?" Shota asked in surprise. It was the first time since his appearance that he showed a surprise.
"He was working with my dad, the former owner of this office, back in their days", Akiko explained with little frown. "The last time I saw you was on my wedding. Then you retired and I didn't hear much about him."
"It's ok. I am glad that you still remember me", Tenma commented with a nostalgic smile, remembering old times.
"I don't get it. Who is this guy?" Katsuki interrupted them to ask this question.
"It's His Purple Highness!" Izuku answered with an enthusiasm while leaving teenagers confused.
"No, I am seriously there is a Pro Hero with such a Codename. Many years ago, he was very popular because of his dramatic style and his unusual problem-solving methods. However, he retired couple of years ago because of his lack of popularity and his age. But it still doesn't deny your accomplishments! Can I have your autograph!?"
His enthusiastic speech and fast talking made everyone in W's team, except for Ryu to sweat drop. That was something else. But Tenma himself could only smile in amusement and give eager fan his signature. Heh, it was good times.
However, they couldn't help but to feel something familiar about his behaviour, but they have no idea what or why.
"Hey, Philip. Is that kid one of your distant relatives?" Shotaro asked seeing many similarities between his partner and Izuku.
"I don't know, Shotaro", answered with a shrug while noticing some similarities between his partner and Izuku too. It will be very interesting topic to study and find out.
Unfortunately, Bakugo was losing all his patience.
"That's it! Can somebody explain to me: what are we doing here!?" he asked angrily. "We need to try and find those two Rider freaks, not waste our time in this… this worthless place! How do you even plan to find them if we don't have any information about them!?"
"And that's where are you wrong, boy", Shotaro answered calmly irritating the blonde more. "By the explanations of your enemy and by its behavior I can find the identity of one of them. And when we find him, we find the other on too."
"Oooh, that's so cool, Shotaro-senpai!" Izuku beamed being impressed with the deduction of his predecessors. And he wasn't the only one, except for Aizawa and Bakugo, everyone in the room were impressed by his skills. But there was one little problem. "But how can you do it?"
"That's easy, kid", Shotaro answered with a smirk. "Philip, let's start it."
"Ok, Shotaro", Philip said before spreading his arms wide and closing his eyes.
…
"Excuse me, but whats supposed to happen?" Tenya asked in confusion seeing that nothing changed.
"Oh yeah, you have no idea", Shotaro realised in embarrassment. "Well, I think I should start by explaining my partner's unique…ability."
Izuku quickly caught up that Shotaro didn't mention Quirk but 'Ability'. It meant that whatever Philip is doing is unusual power.
"Well, the short version is that Philip from the moment he was a child was connected to any recorded knowledge on Earth. He can find information almost about everything. Even if it doesn't exist anymore."
"Amazing", Izuku breathed out in awe. To have a Quirk that can help him to learn everything. It was like A Source of All Knowledge. "But how does it even work? What's it called? Can he see the past and the future? How much can he learn?"
"Slow down, kid. Remember the patient is detective's best friend", Shotaro stopped kid before he could literally burst from questions.
"Well, Philip can find the information what happened and what will happen, but we don't use the latter. We did once and it almost destroyed us. Knowing your future is dangerous. Trust me I am talking through experience."
"True", Izuku's team thought in agreement at the same time.
"Well, he can know everything. However, the information in that place is too much for one man to fill in. If he tries to learn too much his head will explode. But that would be for better. You can't know everything."
"This ability's name is Gaia Library. And how it works? Well, it would be better if I show you."
Gaia Library
Philip finds himself in a white void that could be described as a endless library, having billions of books that contained the knowledge of the entire planet. To sum it all up, this is paradise for a bookworm, researcher, or archaeologist.
"Shotaro I', ready", he announced looking at the bookshelves. "I need keywords."
"The first one is 'Eraserhead'."
As soon as Shotaro said this many books started to move out of the shelves by themselves before zooming away from the void.
"The second is 'U. A.'."
More books started to zoom away from Philip. However, the total amount of books still more than half
"The third is 'Revenge'."
That word made made all the books move away leaving 17 books at left.
"Shotaro, can you give more? There are still a lot of books", Philip explained.
However, he didn't expect who would answer.
"Philip-sempai, try 'Students'."
While being surprised by the new voice, Philip did try this word and all the books moved away except one.
He took the book out and saw that this book looked more like a cursed witch book, which were two black and green books sewed together just like the monster it was about. It was written in bloody red 'Another Double'.
Despite the creepy look, Philip was fascinated by it, "This is starting to get interesting."
Back with the others
It was revealed that the last keyword was spoken not by Shotaro but by Izuku, who was uncomfortable and embarrassed by all the attention he was getting.
Seeing that Shotaro was staring at him intensely, Izuku blabbers whatever apology he could think of.
"Hidari-senpai, I'm sorry for interfering with your job, it's just…" fortunately, Izuku couldn't finish his sentence as his predecessor shut him up with a raised hand.
"Kid, do you know the difference between man's speech and boys?" He asked with a serious face.
When he received a shake of his head, he continues, "A kid would mouth billions incomprehensible words in one sentence in one minute. And whatever he said it would be redundant, pointless, irreverent, and completely lack any real evidence. While a man will speak shortly, correctly, understandable and it will have a fact based on the real proof."
"And now I am gonna let you to repeat whatever you wanted to tell me earlier. Except this time try to speak correctly. And I will decide what you are. A man with a potential to become a detective, or a boy, who don't understand when to keep his mouth shut when adults talk."
Shotaro's words Izuku to gulp in fear, his tone of voice reminded him too much as Aizawa when he threatened his class with expulsion. Except this time, it felt kinda different. His tone of voice while was strict, still had some note of experience and wisdom. It was like detective was trying to make him challenge himself and his skills. And this kinda excited him for some reason.
"Ok, here goes nothing", Midoriya took a deep breath before starting.
"Ok, first, Another W was referring to Aizawa-sensei as a teacher. Why didn't refer to him as his hero name like Another Eraserhead. It means those culprits must be teenagers, probably someone Aizawa-Sensei expelled before. I checked back at school, and it revealed that each year Aizawa-sensei was expelling many students that didn't have enough "potential.""
"You were talking about the Double Dopant like he is more than one person", Shotaro pointed out slyly, which made Izuku widen his eyes at his skills. "One of the important qualities of the detective is to see every little detail. Now explanation your hypothesis."
"Well, from the moment they appeared they started to speak in the plural. That was kinda disturbing, by the way", Izuku continued his explanation with a sigh. "At first I thought that it was "Royal Plural" or something. However, after meeting you and Philip-senpai I concluded that Kamen Rider W actually is…"
"A Two-in-One monster?" Shotaro finished Izuku's thoughts much to his surprise. "Yup, it's true. And you the first one, who found out. I am impressed. Even some Pros don't know our secret."
"How does it work?" Izuku asked in disbelief. But he has no idea what surprises him more. The fact that something like this could exist…or the fact that he was right?
"I'll explain it to you in the short way. When me and Philip put on our Drivers, before Transforming, Phillip's mind leaves his body transfer to me or vice versa."
"Which mind leaves is depending on which Gaia Memory we use. If Philip uses Fang, my mind will transfer to his body in other cases his mind goes to my body. At the end, both of us using both of our senses and our minds to fight crime.
"That's what makes us W!" Philip cheered finishing his searches. "Two minds, One body."
After the debate was over, everyone was speechless. Not only because of the possibility of two humans becoming one, literally. But also, they were so impressed by Izuku's detective skills, even Bakugo, who will never admit it. It was incredible that a teenage boy had much more deduction than most overgrown men. With such ability and brilliant mind, he can go far in the live.
Unfortunately, it still wasn't enough to impress Eraserhead.
"By the way, he was right", Philip said confusing everyone. "Another Double's identity are indeed two teenagers that Aizawa expelled last year."
"Wow, smart head", Akiko cheered in surprise with Haruna nodding in agreement and Ryu simply gave him a salute.
"It's incredible, Izuku-kun!" Ochako gushed with a radiant smile making him blushing red because she was too close to him.
"They are right, Midoriya-kun!" Tenya exclaimed loudly with Tsukuyomi and reluctantly Geiz nodded in agreement. "Such skills are very useful for Pro Hero!"
"Shota do you know which students it could be?" Ryu asked in curiously. "Or who Another Eraserhead could be?"
"I have no idea. There were many students I expelled and all of them warned me that I will pay one day", Shota droned out boringly. "And I was Pro Hero for years. I have more enemies than stars on the sky. There are many people who wants to see me dead. My doppelgänger could be anyone."
"I want to see them try", Katsuki boasted with a puffed chest. "When I become a Pro, I will rip of my haters heads and kick them into the sky."
"Try not to get them mixed with civilians or your allies", Geiz commented sarcastically.
"Anyway, Aizawa do you remember the students with the names Renn Kikkawa and Taisho Terada?" Philip asked Erasure Hero.
"Well, I do recall those names", Shota answered in deep thought. "When I was re-enrolling my past expelled students, those two refused when they heard that I will be their homeroom teacher. I learnt many words about me."
"And after that, Aizawa wrote such awful "recommendation letters" that they weren't allowed in any Hero School", Mic continued using air quotes to describe the full situation.
"But it doesn't explain anything", Eraserhead protested defiantly. "Those two had the same motivation as other ones. But I don't get attacked by the gang of expellers every day. What makes those two different?"
"You are right, Shota. It isn't a simple grudge. Do you remember anything about Ken Kikkawa and Koji Terada?" Philip asked with a knowing smile. When Shota widen his eyes in shock, Philip's smile grew. "Looks like you remember them."
"Of course, I do. Those two were the first people I arrested after I graduated from U. A.", Aizawa corrected him much to the surprise of other students. "My advice to you kids. Don't try to become Underground Heroes, you will see more darkness and filth in one day than average Pro for his entire career. Ken Kikkawa was Mafia Boss, who kept entire city in fear and Koji Terada was a corrupt politician, who was covering former's crimes. After some investigating, I caught both and put them into jail for years."
"And looks like those two had sons that inherited the shame of their fathers", Shotaro continued with a knowing look. "They wanted to get out from the shadows of their father's sins and decided to become Pros."
"But at the first day they dream was crushed when their homeroom teacher expelled them on their first day", Ryu finished with a grave frown. He knows what it like to lose everything and being succumbed by the darkness. "Those two had all reasons to hate you and when they got an opportunity to have a revenge on man who ruined their lives, they just couldn't refuse it."
Heroes couldn't help but felt sorry for Kikkawa and Terada, but Bakugo will deny it till his last breath. To learn that they had such a difficult life.
First their fathers were arrested and covered their families with great sins that they stuck to live forever. It was horrible to live in a world where everyone against you because something you had no control over.
It was indeed a miracle for them to get accepted into the best Hero School in Japan. It was a finale chance for them to escape the clutches of the shame they felt over the years… only for this to be shattered on their first day…by the same man, who imprisoned their fathers. This just wrong.
For a moment, they ask themselves a question: who is a true villain of this story?
"I told you that one day and your 'expulsion policy' will be back to bite your butt." Ryu sent a glare at the Pro.
"I regret nothing. I did what needs to be done", Shota answered with a glare of his own.
"Baka!" Akiko hits him on head with her slipper, which read 'unfair teacher'. "Now you see what mess you had created with your principles?!"
"I think I will regret it, but I need to ask it", Shotaro commented with a tired sigh. "Shota how much students did you expelled for all your teacher carrier?"
"It's not your concern, Hidari", Shota basically spatted the venom at the man.
"It is when you deprive young kids a chance to achieve their dreams and become something better", Shoatro argued with him. "You have no rights to break their dreams!"
"I am Pro Hero and teacher of U. A. for years! I have experienced so much you couldn't even imagine in your worst nightmares!" Shota shouted in anger startling teenagers. For all they knew that man never showed any emotions except for annoyance.
And now hearing him doing such an outburst was scary for them. They hope that it will not become worse.
"For all his years of being a teacher, Aizawa expelled in total…" Philip answered like he didn't witness the heavy argument between the two. "…248 students."
That was a drop that no one could expect.
"EEEEEHHHHHH?!" all people in the building, except for Shota, screamed in shock and disbelief. "HOW MUCH?!"
"I always knew that you expelled many kids," Hizashi stated in shock. "But I never expect it to succeed over three digits!"
"I didn't hear about this!" Akiko screeched her old catchphrase. "How can you even sleep knowing what you have done?!"
"…249. You miscalculated, Philip", Shota droned in usual manner, their surprises don't even phase him. He then points behind him at Izuku's group. "I expelled that kid today."
"WHAT?!" Izuku and his team once again asked in shock at their teacher's statement.
"Really?" Shotaro asked in surprise before looking at the only student, who, by his thoughts, can be expelled on the first day. "But I kinda see your point. With such looks and behavior, people would confuse blonde with a villain. Don't want to be you, boy."
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY ABOUT ME?!" Bakugo roared in rage startling Haruna a bit. "WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME I ACTED LIKE A VILLAIN?!"
"How about just now?" Geiz, Tsukuyomi, Ochako, and Tenya thought at the same time with a sweat drop.
"I didn't expel Bakugo", Shota corrected him with a glare. "I expelled Midoriya, the one with green hair. He had showed the least potential than anyone I ever seen in my life."
"HUH?! ARE YOU INSANE?!" Hidari asked in disbelief before becoming angry. "I would understand if he was powerless or dumb than I would understand your reasons. But you saw what he can do, with his brilliant mind he could become a great asset to Pros. You already have too much 'Hit First, Ask Question Later' type of Heroes. Don't you think it is time to fill your ranks with more intelligent people?"
"And you gave me a chance, remember? Our bet?" Izuku asked heartbroken with such revelation.
"Yes, we had a bet and you lost", Shota grumbled snidely. "You needed to convince me that you can act as Hero but all this time you acted as Kamen Rider, proving that you don't have any potential to become a Pro Hero at all. And the worst thing is that you act more like him."
The last thing he exclaimed in disgust and pointed his finger at Shotaro, who was glaring in annoyance at teacher's attitude. Izuku seeing a problem tries to defend his predecessor, "Excuse me, Aizawa-sensei but I take this as a compliment."
"Thanks, kid. But I can answer for myself", Shotaro thanked Izuku with a small smile before it turned into an angry glare. "Aizawa explain to me, what are your standards in accepting students? Quirks, strength, intelligence, connections, social status, experience, backgrounds? Was it that the true reasons why you expelled Kikkawa and Terada?"
"I use only one criterion – a potential to become a Pro", Shota answered dryly looking into detective's eyes. "I don't care about students' background or their past. All students are equal to me. While they agree to give their all and ready to go beyond their capabilities, I will accept them. But if they don't have any potential at all, I will not waste my time on the lost cause. And I didn't expel Renn and Taisho because of their criminal fathers but because they hadn't any potential to become real Pros."
"You the worst, Shota", Shotaro stated in disgust at the view of the Pro. "How could you do that to them? You keep destroying kids dreams without any second thoughts. It's unfair."
"World is unfair place", Aizawa stated with lowered eyes. "You of all people should know it better than anyone."
"It's still wrong on many levels" Hidari stated while pinching his nose in annoyance. "And why exactly was the kid expelled? What's wrong with him?
"Nothing serious. It's just he's a Kamen Rider", Shota explained with a wide smirk hidden behind his scarf. "And I train future Heroes not Riders."
"You're a pathetic man, Shota", Shotaro fired calmly while clenching his fist. He started to lose all his bit of the patience with this man. "If the boss was here…"
Unfortunately, he couldn't finish his sentence as Shota suddenly grabs him by the shoulders and look him into eyes. The fact that he activated his Quirk made it more terrifying. And it was because he said something he wasn't supposed to.
At All.
Ever.
"Don't you dare mention his name in my presence!" Shota shouted enraged making students startled, adults worry and Haruna terrified. "If it wasn't for you, he would be alive!"
"I know", Shotaro said with a frown knowing that he gone too far. "And I'll live with this sin my entire life."
"Glad to see you finally started to accept your faults", Shota rolled his eyes. "Old man made a grave mistake when he chose you as his protégé. The man without any potential and crazy dreams. If he chose me or any other person, he could be alive!"
"You don't know that!" Philip protested in anger, which was a very big surprise considering that this man is more cheerful and incapable of rage. "The outcome could have been the same."
"Yeah, right? Only he can get involved in someone else's affairs and get his teacher killed!" Aizawa snarled, outraged. "I will not repeat the same mistake as the old man! I will not take a hopeless student nor a Kamen Rider in my class! And I will not die because of his mistake."
"Listen, you can hate me as much as you want. I deserve 100% of it", Hidari said in self-regret. "But you can't take your hatred over other students. Especially this kid."
"I can and I will, detective in delusions", Shota fired sarcastically.
"What is that supposed to mean, Hobo Hero?" Shotaro asked feeling insulted.
The group gulped in fear, anticipating the upcoming fight between the two men.
"You heard me, Hidari", Shota spatted like it was a venom.
"You wanted to be stuck in the past and started to have delusions that this happy city can be saved. But both of us know that Futo is a corrupt and wretched city that's far too late to save, you just refused to admit it."
"Better to be delusional than run away from you past as you are!" Shotaro countered back with a glare of his own.
"At least I don't give up on my life playing detective and wasting it in this old hut!" Aizawa insulted him again with his Quirk once again activated.
"HEY!" this time it was Akiko who screamed in outrage. No one will insult her father's work and get away with it even if it is her own cousin.
"HUH?! I gave up on my life?! When was the last time you looked in the mirror?!" Hidari asked in disbelief. Despite not having a Quirk himself, he can be very intimidating. "At least I still look like a human being! With your ugly sleeping bag, people will confuse you with larva monster!"
"Better to live in sleeping bag than dating a hooker!" Shota countered back looking at Tokime.
Everyone gasped at his insult. It was the last thing they even wanted to hear from them. Students had surprised looks on their faces and they lost last bits of the respect they ever felt for this man.
Akiko covered her mouth in disbelief at the actions of her cousin. It was uncalled of. Philip, Ryu, Hizashi and Tenma could only shake their heads in disappointment and shame over his actions.
Tokime tried not to show any reaction, but you could notice how she shakes and holds off her tears.
But Shotaro…he was pissed off as hell.
If you would see a look on his face, you would think that you just looked into eyes of devil itself.
Without any warning, he punches Shota in the face, sending him to crash into the wall. He would do even more if it wasn't for Philip and Ryu holding him back, despite to his angry protests.
"Philip, Terui let me go!" He shouted in anger at his friends.
"Calm down, Shotaro!" Philip winced in pain at his partner's strong hits.
"Let it go, Hidari! He is not worth it!" Ryu added in agreement. The last part he said with a glare aiming at the teacher.
"Fine. I am calm now. Now let me go!" Shotaro half-lied them already fed up with their help.
While he was still angry at Aizawa, he no longer wants to kill him. He then goes to him and says, "Listen to me, you're a missing link of human evolution, you can insult or call me whatever you want. You can tell me that I am loser, a failure, my master's greatest shame, that I waste my life, that I am nothing. But never and I mean never don't you dare to insult my woman! If you repeat it again then it wouldn't be you who will be arrested but me! Get it, 'Mr. Rational Decision'!?"
After many years of being an Underground Pro Hero, Aizawa met many terrifying things that could even scare Top 10 Pro Heroes
But this time, he was frightened by the deadly glare of the simple man, who before he considers a living annoyance that incapable to install to fear. And now he realised that he was so wrong. This glare even put on a shame on his own.
Not wanting to reduce his chances, or whatever was left of them, he simply nodded, hopping that it will allow him to get away alive.
"Good", Shotaro simply commented before he surprises everyone by easily grabbing Shota by his shoulder and forcefully pushing him to the door. "Now get out of my office! So, I would never see your ugly mug ever again!"
"Whatever, I already have everything I need. I never want to return in this hole, anyway! Come on Mic, we have imposter to catch. We already waste enough time here", Shota grumbled while calling his colleague, only to be surprised when he noticed that he is not coming. "Mic, what are you waiting for?"
"Sorry, Eraser", Hizashi answered unsurely after everything that happened not only now but entire day.
When his oldest stubborn friend started to act like the world's greatest jerk and asshole.
He doesn't think that he can trust him anymore. Nor he wanted anymore. "I think I should stay with kids."
"Shota, I am disappointed in you", Tenma shake his head in shame over his former pupil's actions.
"Even you two", he mumbled in shock at the situation. Then he looks at the others and sees that Ryu and Philip stands beside Shotaro and glare at him in shame in disappointment.
Akiko hugged Tokime to calm her down while looking distraught and has no idea what to do in such situation.
Students look at him in shock at his actions, Ochako, Geiz, Tenya and Tsukuyomi glares at him in disgust, girls more than boys. Katsuki is confused by everything but eyes teacher in distrust. Izuku looks down in sadness at this man's words.
But the most reaction that hurt him is Haruna's. She was crying quietly while hiding behind her mother's legs. When he tried to move closer to her, it startles her, and she started to shake from fear. It frightened him to know that his 'niece' is afraid of him. It really broke his heart.
But he can't show any weakness to them.
"Fine, I don't care!" he brushed their looks aside while trying to hide his sorrow. "I don't need your help! My entire life I climbed from the bottom to where I am now only using my own strength! No one helped me! No family, no friends, no mentors and definitely not you! I never needed anyone! I am better off alone! Always was and always will! Goodbye!"
With these words, he slammed the door loudly, leaving the group alone. No one decided to follow him. No one wanted though.
Except for one person.
"Sho-chan, wait!" Akiko called running after him. "You can't just walk away!"
"Watch me", Shotaro simply droned not even looking at her.
"Mou! Cut it out already!" she groaned in annoyance finally stopping in his tracks. "That's why I always call you, baby cousin! You always act like a brat!"
"The pot calling the kettle black", he commented sarcastically knowing that his cousin sometimes acts the same. "And I act as any other person, who was just betrayed and left alone by everyone he trusts."
"That was your fault! What you said back there was uncalled for!" Akiko reminded him with a slipper to hit him again. "Tokime is one of the greatest people I ever met. And she is definitely don't deserve such words."
"Not my fault that she looks like one", Shota spatted with a frown annoying her even more because she finally understood his reasons. "That moron always had a weird taste."
"It's not about your imposter, isn't it? It's about Shotaro", she deduced with a sad face. Her cousin will never let it go. "It's not healthy and you know it. When would you finally let it go?".
"Never and so should you", he grunted with greeted teeth. He then sighs and continues, "It was his fault. Why you of all people still keeps him here? You should get rid of him the moment you learn full story."
"I was angry at him before and wanted to kick him out", Akiko admitted with a frown remembering time when she first learnt about her father's death.
"But from the day we met, despite all the headaches I gave to him, he was always there, protecting me. With each day he started to remind me about dad. He became some kind of older brother to me. I would never admit it but if it wasn't for him, I would never have my family. I owe him."
"And most importantly, I realized one thing. It doesn't matter how long I will deny it, but he and my dad are the same."
Then she smiled reminiscing all time she spent with Shotaro and Philip, and how it forever changed her world. She didn't want to imagine what would happen if she never went to Futto to learn about her father's whereabouts.
Unfortunately, Shota didn't appreciate her memory line.
"If you really believe it then you didn't love him the way I did!" he exclaimed loudly in annoyance.
For Akiko it was the last straw.
SLAP!
The echo of the slap was heard very clear. Akiko slapped him so hard that it made him stumble a little bit but left a red print on his cheek. It wasn't only painful but surprising too.
Usually, she hits people with her slippers when she is angry, but now it was different. And judging by her tears she was more disappointed than angry.
"You are the greatest jerk I ever met in my entire life!" she wailed screaming louder than Present Mic himself.
"Do you know the biggest difference between you and Shotaro?! That despite
how many hardships he endures he never pushes people that cares about him away! And if he is doing it then it because he wants to protect them. Just like my father was!
"But you don't! You push everyone away! Your friends! Your family! Your colleagues! You always hide behind your gruff demeanor to show them that you don't care. But deep inside you do care! And you want to have friends! And you keep refusing only because you are afraid that people will learn the true you! You afraid to open up!"
"And I tried many times to break you out of your shell so you wouldn't become alone! If you don't want to get close to people, if you don't want us in your life then please go wherever you want! You can even kill yourself; I wouldn't even react. Do you know why?! Because I got tired of this already! I don't care anymore!"
"But remember if you don't stop pushing people away, you will stay alone forever! And you wouldn't have anyone to blame than yourself! It will be your fault!"
And with these words, she left a stunned Shota, who was nursing his cheek, alone. He still couldn't just get to caught to what just happened at this alley. His annoying cousin just slapped him and told him everything what she thinks about him.
At first, he wanted to be angry for the fact that she 'betrayed' him just like others…but the more he thinks about today, the more he realizes what he said to his closed ones. Oh no, he acted disgusting even to himself.
He would never admit but Akiko was right. He did push everyone he had cared about him away. He really is the greatest jerk in existence, who refused to listen to his friends, family, mentor and even the voice of reason, who created new villains, and who refuses to accept a great kid into his school. And all because of what? Because of the old grudge? He really acts as brat.
And now he become alone. And that was his fault. And he has no one to blame but himself.
Suddenly he felt as something touched his hand. He looks in the skies and realize that it started to rain but he couldn't really differentiate, was it really drops of water… or his own tears.
But he quickly snaps out of his stump. Right now, he has more important matters than to wallow in self-pity. He has an imposter to catch. He will fix his family problems after he finishes his job and when he will justify his honest name.
However, poor Aizawa had no idea that he was far too late and that he can't fix his relationship with his family…at least without certain someone's help.
Back in the Narumi Detective Office
Even after Aizawa left the building, the atmosphere was still gloom and grim.
Everyone was still in shock from his show. Teenagers, who are now drinking tea courtesy of Philip, couldn't believe that a man with such regards towards people became a Pro Hero. And adults were sighing sad because their old and respectable friend become a man with unmoral tendencies.
"Thanks, Tokime", Shotaro thanked his girlfriend, who gave him an icepack for his injured fist.
In gratefulness for his actions, she kisses him in cheek, surprising those thar had no idea that they are dating.
Then he noticed that Izuku who was sitting near him and giving him a strange look. "You have something to say, kid?"
"Yeah, one question", he said nervously. "Aren't you afraid about what you had done?"
"No", Shotatro reminded him surprising the teen. "I don't regret punching Aizawa into the face. He gone too far."
"You sure?" Midoriya asked in confusion. "I mean Aizawa-sensei did deserve it, but he is still a Pro Hero. And assault on a Pro Hero is…"
"Kid, remember what I said to you? Speak shortly, correctly, understandable", Hidari reminded him with a frown. "And I know that it will bite me in the ass, but I regret nothing."
"My mentor always used to say: "If some…jerk insults your woman, you have complete rights, without any question to…punch him in the…ugly face."
Izuku couldn't help but sweatdrop at the words of his sempai. He couldn't help but think that everything was took from the context for some reason.
"I knew Sokichi all my life and he never said these words", Tenma commented dryly joining into the conversation.
"I can't swear in front of children", Shotaro hissed in annoyance.
"Oh. That I can believe", Tenma commented with a chuckle. "I remember a time when Sokichi broke one of the top 10 Pro Hero's face when that prick insulted his future wife. That guy's face never healed."
Akiko smiled to learn one good fact about her late father.
That made a lot of sense. Now Izuku understands what it really means. If someone would insult his girlfriend, who still need to exist, if he would ever get a chance to find one, he would without any hesitation to protect her, if there would be some asshole, who would try to hurt her.
The traitorous part of his mind couldn't help but imagine Ochako as his girlfriend and Katsuki as his offender for strange reasons. He tries to shake these strange thoughts to concentrate on the important matters, but he still couldn't let go of the thoughts 'Uraraka' and 'Girlfriend'.
Fortunately, there was someone who snap him out of these thoughts.
"I am not little!" Haruna protested with them cutest pout.
"Of course not, Haruna-chan", Shotaro reassured her with a kind smile. "I mean them. They are too young for these words"
"HEY! WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!?" you know who shouted while everyone else just simply rolled their eyes at his personality trait. Suddenly he received a slap to a head. "OW! WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!?"
"No screaming in front of Haruna", Akiko replied sternly holding a smoking slipper, which read 'no screaming, no swearing'.
"HOW MANY SLIPPERS DO YOU HAVE?!" Katsuki asked in anger and genuine curiosity. "WHERE DO YOU KEEP THEM!?"
"That's my Quirk. Slippers For Life", she answered rather cheerfully. "I can create as much slippers as I want! And I can give any form I can think of! And the best thing is I don't get tired at all! My daughter has the same Quirk as mine only less powerful!"
The mother and daughter let out similar happy grins, which appears every time they explain their Quirks. They even create their own slippers, which spelled 'Slippers for Life!'.
It wasn't a surprise that Katsuki wasn't impressed at all.
"The worst and most useless Quirk in existence", he simply stated in monotone. At this answer, Geiz stomped at his foot hard for his disrespect. "Ow, what the hell, Hiragana Face!?"
"First, it was rude", Myokoin replied with a frown. "Second, I remember that our classmates in Junior High had a quirk with wooden head, a guy who can sneeze disgusting mucus and finally a guy who can literally pull out his eyes from eye-sockets. How can her Quirk be any worse than that!?"
"Fine, not the worse Quirk. Happy!?" Katsuki screamed feeling annoyed with this discussion. "But still useless."
Tsukuyomi mentally face-palmed at his comment. It's her grandpa who is worse.
"Anyway, about powers. Can you give me the power of W?" Izuku asked nervously giving Shotaro a Blank Ridewatch. "So then next time we would have a chance against the Another Rider."
"Thinking ahead kid, nice", the detective commented with a smirk before grabbing the trinket. However, nothing happened. The watch didn't change it shape it even didn't glow for some bizarre reason. "Is it supposed to do something?"
"Baka, you broke it!" Akiko shouted before hitting him with her slipper with Japanese sentence 'You Broke It!'.
"How was I supposed to know?!" he snapped at her in irritation. "I don't know how this works!"
"It's really weird", Izuku simply commented with a sweatdrop. "They usually work every time other Riders simply touch them. Maybe this time this one requires special condition or something? But I can't imagine what exactly it needs."
"Easy kid, easy", Hidari reassured him. "You had a rough day, and you need a little rest or else you would burn yourself out."
"Thanks, Shotaro-sempai", Midoriya nodded in understanding.
"By the way, your name is Midoriya-Kun, right?" Akiko asked nervously for some reason. When he nodded, she surprises when she bows and screams, "On the behalf of my dumb cousin, I am apologizing for his actions!"
Her sudden actions, cause a big surprise for her guests and comrades. Students and Yamaha had widened eyes at her sudden outburst. Philip dropped his book, Ryu dropped his jaw, Tenma froze on the spot, Tokime pour over her cup of tea, and Shotaro… well he had worst reaction over all of them…
"EEEEHHHH!? Akiko apologised on her own free will!?" he shouted in disbelief before his expression switched into a panic one. "This is the End of The World! Apocalypse is nigh! Philip check our Doomsday Calendar! We need to know how much time we had left before we all die!"
"What is that supposed to mean!?" she screamed before hitting him again with her slipper with 'Bakayaro!' on it.
"What is he talking about?" Hizashi asked in intrigue.
"Do you remember that I can see into a future?" Philip asked rhetorically before receiving a nod from Voice Hero. "Well, one day I have gone too far and saw a possible future when we will all die. And I started to predict when doomsday will happen. But the day could change anytime because of some unpredictably dangerous or strange thing that will happen. And that's why I created a Doomsday Calendar to calculate when Apocalypse would happen."
Geiz and Tsukuyomi gulped in shock and terror. It looks like Philip unintentionally learnt about Ohma's Day.
"And when will we die?" Hizashi asked nervously thinking that Philip is kinda crazy. However, future duo came closer to hear their conservation better. "And what this apocalypse will be about?"
"Unfortunately, I have no idea myself the date always changing. And somehow 'The End' is always concealed for some reason and I have no idea what it will be about", Philip answered with a small frown, reassuring the duo. The less people know about Ohma's Day the better. "But if we survive it, the small part of humanity will die because of deadly virus that can kill even Top 10 Pro Heroes easily."
"This is why I try not to look into the future. It's always changing and become so confusing that it gave you a big headache."
"Ok", Hizashi commented with a sweatdrop. It really reminds him of meeting with fanatics that 'predicted' End of the World. But for some reason he couldn't help but believe this guy.
"Also, kid I need to apologise to you", Shotaro stated sincerely and with a sad frown. "You're in this hell because of me and my sins of the past."
"What are you talking about Shotaro-sempai?" Izuku asked in confusion and anticipation.
Seeing no point to hide his past anymore confesses, "Aizawa hates Kamen Riders because of me."
"Well, it's no surprise", Katsuki commented dryly after seeing exchange between a Pro Hero and Kamen Rider.
"Our story comes much deeper than you can imagine", Shotaro said seriously making his fedora to cover his eyes. "Both Aizawa and I were born and grew out at Fuuto. And we knew each other from the moment were children."
"I didn't hear about this!" Akiko exclaimed in surprise.
"You and Aizawa-sensei were friends?!" Tenya asked in shock.
"We weren't friends back there, but we also weren't enemies. I think you can say that we just knew each other and that's all", Shotaro replied with a frown. "Back there I was an odd Quirkless kid, who vows to stop anyone, who makes his city cry. And Aizawa was a gruffly lonely kid with basically a 'Useless' Quirk. Unsurprisingly both of us were ridiculed because of these facts."
"I don't understand", Ochako said in confusion. "I think the ability to disable other Quirks can be very useful…despite its weakness."
"However, Aizawa's Quirk is useless against Mutant-type Quirks, robots, or not flashy enough to consider a real deal", detective pointed out all the facts that society favours over. "The only reason why his Quirk is powerful is because he made it work through the hard training and sheer determination. While people with powerful Quirks are strong, it's people with tricky Quirks are more dangerous. Trust me I am talking via experience:"
"Anyway, back to the story. While both of us were very different from the start there were 2 things that kinda unite us. First, it was our desire to become Pro Heroes. And second… both of us admired the same man…Narumi Sokichi. The founder of this office, my teacher, Akiko's father, and Shota's uncle."
"At first, we thought that the boss was simply serious hard-boiled Quirkless detective, who simply solves any case. But one day we saw him alone defeating a Spider Dopant, despite not having any ability to fight, much to our shock. Then both of us wanted to become his protégés. But boss turned us down, but we were pestering. And after many tries, he agreed to teach us how to be detectives. But he has his own special conditions for us. He gave us a list of sport tests and told us that he could take only one of us. The winner will become his pupil. Both of us tied up but we were taken anyway. It was his little twist to see what we can do at our 100%."
"Aizawa-sensei used the same tactics as us", Izuku pointed out in surprise at the similarities. "He gave 8 tests and told us that the one who will get the last place will be expelled from U. A. He said that it was "rational decision" to see our limits."
"Really? He really, did it?" Shotaro asked in surprise not expecting his old friend using their late mentor's tricks. "Heh, looks like this guy haven't forgotten boss's teachings. If only he would use it for the right use."
"Then training started. He taught everything we know about strategy, fighting, deduction, quick-thinking, outsmarting your opponents, hand-to-hand combat etc. Both of us started confident enough in our abilities. And we become kinda friends. And boss become like a second father for us."
"But everything changed when Shota announced that he wanted to go to U. A. To become a Pro Hero. It was hard for us, but we had to let him go so that he could follow his dream. And he did it, he become a student at this school…only as student of General Studies. Your Entrance Exam system sucks. But he still eventually become a student of Hero Course."
"Unfortunately, not every story finish with happy ending. While Shota was training to become a Hero, I continued to perfect my skills as Hard-boiled Detective. On Christmas he received a case by his old friend, he needed to rescue a researcher from Underworld's facility on some island. I wanted to accompany him, but he forbidden me to act saying that this is his case alone. But I didn't listen and followed him anyway. On that day I met a man who I will trust my life and I also learnt that boss was mysterious Skeleton Hero: Kamen Rider Skull."
"I not only broke his order but because of me, we lost our target. We of course found him, but we were surrounded by all sides. As it couldn't become worse when there was a time to escape, they shoot at us. Boss pushed us away but…he couldn't dodge the bullets himself. They killed him. Then I and Philip transformed into Kamen Rider W for the first time and level this entire facility to the ground."
"When Shota came back for Christmas Holidays, he received the worst Christmas present in the world. I haven't told him about W, Museum, Gaia Memories, Dopants or that boss was Skull. I was afraid that by knowing this information he would be targeted by them. He would join us to avenge him, and I couldn't risk his safety. So that's why I keep my mouth shut."
"When I finished the tale, he was furious at me and punch me in the face. He blamed everything on me and simply walks away. It was the last time I saw him in Fuuto."
"That's a sad story, Shotaro-senpai", Izuku commented in understanding. Now it made sense about their animosity and where it came from. However, he couldn't see how it was his fault. It's more likely a partially fault then full.
"It's gets better", Shotaro commented sarcastically somehow imitating Shota. "It started at our first year as a Kamen Rider. Contrast to you, we didn't have any Hero Schools to learn nor predecessors to get help from. That's why both of us needed to teach ourselves."
"It wasn't pretty nor easy", Philip commented dryly remembering all hardships when they just only started.
"Yeah, and just like young and inexperienced Pro Heroes, we had many mistakes. Some more fatal than others", Hidari replied this time with dark tone in his voice.
"One day, we were chasing after villain Garvey, who become the Earth Dopant. He had Quirk to absorb everything that comes his way and then release it back. And with the Gaia Memory ability to change his density he could become intangible for physical attacks. This guy was demolishing everything on his path. He was unstoppable."
"It was also the day when I reunited with Shota. He and his classmate were patrolling on their Work-Hero Studies. He didn't know that I was W back there. We used all our arsenal on him, we even united with many young Heroes. It wasn't enough. We didn't had choice but to work together. Shota gave us a little opening and defeat him with Maximum Drive. The fact that we defeat him was a miracle itself."
"Unfortunately, in the hero biz just like in Rider work there are always casualties. Garvey blocked my first finisher before throwing me at the building causing it to collapse. His best friend and partner Oboro Shirakumo were buried under the debris, while protecting nearby children. His death caused Shota to have an emotional breakdown and then a depression."
"When he found out our secret identity, I explained everything to him. About Gaia Memories, Gaia Tower, Philip, Dopants and more importantly about Skull. It would be obvious to say that he was far more displeased. He was enraged and attack me wildly. I didn't want to fight him, but he no longer wanted to listen to me. Before he could finish me, he warned me that I must never not at any condition should I leave Fuuto. He threatens me that will rattle out my identity to the world. Then he left. And I never saw him again."
"That's exactly the reason why he hates Kamen Riders. It's because of me."
When he finished to tell his backstory, Philip and Tokime reassured him by hugging and kissing him on the check respectively. They already knew the story and knows how it affects their dear friend/boyfriend. The most painful thing for them is to see him in such pain.
Ryu and Tenma knew what happened between those two, but those two had much more difficult problem. They knew them very well, Hero and Detective respectively. But they never couldn't pick a side because both are right. And they never wanted to see closest people to fight or worse…becoming shelf of their former selves.
Teenagers had surprised reactions. While Izuku, Katsuki, Ochako and Tennya realized the reason of Eraserhead's resentment for Kamen Rider and Shotaro, they thought that he gone with his hatred is too far.
However, the future duo had different thoughts. For Geiz and Tsukuyomi losing a comrade in the battle, unfortunately, is nothing new. Every time when people was dying there were some cases that people were slowly changing in the worst way and becoming a completely different person. They were witnessing of this multiple times. They dounderstand what Aizawa gone through… after all they lost important to them people too.
"I can't believe it", Hizashi commented out loud. "I mean I always knew that Eraser wasn't telling everything when he described Oboro's sacrifice. But to hear that something like this happened is completely a different thing."
"He didn't even tell me about this", Akiko added in surprise. "He was always evading the talk about Oboro. I had no idea what's wrong but now I understood everything."
"And you never saw him again after that day?" Izuku asked in shock.
"Yup. We never saw each other for 10 years", Shotaro commented dryly. "Living with deep hatred at each other's. And wanted to strangle each other for simple existence."
"I am sorry for saying this, but I don't think you hate Aizawa-sensei", Midoriya commented making detective to look at him in mild interest.
"From the moment you started to talk, you never mentioned him with a tone of disgust. It looked more like you never hated him. Even after he insulted Tokime-san, you still hadn't the look of hatred. It was more likely…sorrow. You still want to help even if he despises you. I know how you feels."
He unknowingly looked at Bakugo, who noticed it. But he didn't show any reaction to this except for a raising eyebrow.
"You are smart, kid", Shotaro nodded impressed by Midoriya's deduction skills. "You are right. I would never hate him even if he acts like a jerk. But it still was my fault. Both times."
"But it wasn't completely your fault", Izuku said with a deep thought. "What happened were just accidents. There were many factors that could decide their fates."
"Maybe, your right", Hidari commented with a small smile to see his kouhai trying to feel him better. "However, the thing that pains me the most is that both times I felt completely helpless. Despite the fact I am wielding a great power I couldn't save three people. My boss who was like a father to me; a man, who would become one of the noblest people in the country; and most importantly I left my rival to succumb to a grudge, regret, and anger. That's my sins and I pay for them everyday."
"And how did you pay for your sins?" Midoriya asked in curiosity.
"When boss died the city lost its best hero and the last hope to survive from those guys. I pay for this by becoming a hero the city needs", he answered with a sad frown. "But Aizawa is a different thing. To pay for his loss I let him… hate me."
"I don't think I follow", Midoriya commented dryly.
"So are we", Geiz added with a confused look, which was shared by everyone else.
"Despite the obvious facts, I can read Aizawa better than anyone of you. That's one of the skills of a detective", he said, sounding a little smug. "The reason why Aizawa truly hates me is because deep inside he hates himself for never being there, when boss needed him. He feels partly responsible for his death."
"Wow, you are so wise and caring, Shotaro-sempai", Izuku commented in awe, at the fact that despite Aizawa's nasty attitude Shotaro would never let him down before his expression become sad. "It's still pity that I couldn't change his mind about Kamen Riders. I will never become U. A. student."
"Why do you even care?" Katsuki asked incredulously. "If he's gonna be arrested then it means that your expulsion is invalid, and you can become a student of U. A. Much to my never-ending annoyance."
"BAKUGO-KUN, how could you say that?!" Tenya asked in disbelief. "You can't wish for a hero to be arrested. Especially if it is your teacher. These words are not fitting for a future hero-in-training! You should be ashamed of yourself!"
"SHUT UP, FOUR-EYES!" Katsuki screamed in frustration, his patience already thin. "WE KNOW THIS GUY ONLY FOR ONE DAY! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE A CONNECTION OR BOND WITH EACH OTHER SO FAST!"
"I can't believe I am saying this, but I agree with Bakugo", Tsukuyomi commented with widen eyes, seeing that her grandpa got a point.
"I am curious", Geiz suddenly said. "We know almost everything about the W Dopant, but we know nothing about Another Eraserhead, except for his resentment at Aizawa. Do you know anything about him?"
"Unfortunately, we got nothing", Philip sighed in tiredness. "I couldn't find anything in the Gaia Library. We got not enough clues to find him. If it wasn't Izuku-kun's observation points, we couldn't learn identity of our imposter."
"I'm more confused by the fact how did they break in without activating an alarm?" Present Mic asked in deep thought. "But the door isn't damaged, nothing is destroyed, and security cameras are empty. How did he entered without pass, I had no idea."
At that mention, Izuku's brain started to work nonstop and remembers everything what happened today from the moment Another Eraserhead appeared. He recalled all actions and all words that imposter was saying. How he came for revenge against Aizawa-sensei. How he breaks into U. A. Without triggering any alarm. How did he learnt that two kids who he had found was Aizawa's former students. How he learnt that Fuuto is Aizawa's hometown. Now everything makes sense.
"We need to find Aizawa-sensei", Izuku announced in determination. "I think I know who Another Eraserhead is. Come on, we out of time."
Before he could go further, he was stopped by Geiz, who had an expression that he couldn't read, "Before we would go and risk our lives, tell me would you really the jerk that wanted to get rid of you the second he saw you? That treat you as a dirt and wanted to destroy your dream only because of you being yourself."
"Yes", he answered surprising everyone by his determination, surprising everyone.
"But why?" Myokoin asked in genuine confusion. "Why are you going to such lengths for this kind of man, who will never appreciate it?"
"If something happens to him, I will never forgive myself", Izuku explained his reasons. "Even if I fail, I better try and fail than doing nothing and regret for my entire life for not even trying to."
Once again, his speech impressed everyone. Despite already knowing what person Izuku Midoriya is, his friends still couldn't help but be surprised by their friend and be very inspired by his determination.
This attitude reminded smiling Tenya about two persons in his life that he deeply admires and respects…well actually three but this one is not a Hero. And looks like he found a new example to follow. And maybe a good friend that he can learn many things from.
And Katsuki was simply speechless. He never expected for this wimpy and pathetic nerd to act braver than he usually does. He always was confident that Deku will never amount to anything. And looks like he was wrong. And he doesn't like this feeling. Let's hope that he is wrong only today.
"You should hurry up", Tenma announced showing that he is not smiling at Izuku's words. "There is a massive storm building outside."
"We know and his name is Shota Aizawa", Shotaro commented dryly.
"…No. I mean a literal storm is building", Tenma explained with a sweat drop. "Look in the window if you don't believe me."
They did immediately as he told. And they were surprised by what they just saw. It was indeed a terrible storm it almost looked like it becomes a green typhoon. Little Haruna even hide behind her father. It wasn't a surprise to guess, who caused it.
"At least we know where to find Another Double", Ochako commented with a gulp.
"And how you planning to do it?" Katsuki asked skeptically. "This typhoon will send us to America, Russia or any other hell. We need a tank to break through this storm!"
"Well, we don't have a tank", Shotaro stated with a knowing smirk which were shared with others. He then opens the curtains and shows them a way to basement. "But we have something similar."
Katsuki and Tenya were surprised to see that 'a basement' could be so big. Izuku and others already saw Sento's laboratory and Iida was only half-surprised for some reason. But took all of students, and Hizashi's breath away is what exactly they were keeping there.
It was a RideR Machine but a very big one. Its sheer size makes half of the basement. It looks like an 8-wheeled garage-like truck with Double's face on it and a huge wheel in the back. It is Revolgarry. Kamen Rider W' personal mobile base and the biggest machine in their arsenal.
"Whoever makes that thing did a good job", Tenma commented remising about Skullgarry, Sokichi's similar personal Rider Machine.
"He looked smaller on the pictures", Izuku commented with dropped jaw. He of course knew about the existence of Revolgarry and saw couple of pictures of it. However, he never expected that thing to be this big. It the same size as Time Mazine in its Vehicle Mode.
Teenagers had strange reactions too. Geiz and Tsukuyomi were surprised by the fact that past, despite not having advanced technology, still had many great weapons. Seeing this made Uraraka to remember about Power Dizer, Fourze's first robot sidekick, in New Amanogawa's mini museum, and compare their sizes; this was bigger. Bakugo would never admit it but even he was speechless of that thing. U. A.'s Zero-Pointer is nothing comparing to this tank. Yamada had similar thoughts.
"Kids meet Revolgarry", Shotaro boasted at their truck.
Futto Tower
After seeing such strong typhoon, Aizawa quickly deduced that only one being could create this calamity. And he also realized that storm was nothing more than a beacon. They want him to find them. It was a trap. The most noticeable and obvious one on the existence. And even knowing it didn't stop him from coming here. He has an important job to do.
"Kikkawa! Terada! Come out right now!" he called them through the loud wind. "I know that you two here! I came here as you two wanted! I want to talk!"
As soon as he said this, the wind almost dispersed, revealing two figures standing near Futto Tower. The culprits are two teenage boys, a little older than the others. Renn Kikkawa is a black spiky-haired teenager, wearing studded jacket, a black shirt, torn jeans, and boots. Taisho Terada is a blonde teenager with flat hair, green coat, blue jeans, and white sneakers. He is also holding dark blank book. Both had dark circles under their eyes making Aizawa look healthier.
"You remember us?" Renn asked his voice is devoid of any emotions.
"Yes", Shota admitted with regrets. "Renn your father was Ken Kikkawa a Mafia Boss, who kept the entire city in fear and Taisho yours' was Koji Terada a corrupt politician, who was covering former's crimes and I am the hero that incarnated both."
"When you arrested our dads, you ruined our lives", Taisho added in monotone, but he had a glare. "People started to despise our entire families. Our mothers couldn't find a job and they couldn't afford us, and they died from illness. Both of us become orphans."
"We were covered with shame, and everyone else hates us for simply existing", Renn continued his voice filled with a venom. "However, instead of ending our lives, we wanted to move away from our fathers' shadows and decided to become Pro Heroes."
"And finally, after all suffering and hard work we had to pay, we were accepted into Hero School", Taisho said with more hatred. "Unfortunately, we were expelled on our first day because we don't have enough potential to become a hero! By the same man who put our fathers in jail!"
"After losing everything and everyone, we had no choice but to go on the run!" Renn finished with a loud shout. "For a year we do many things to only survive. And one day we met a man, who was also wronged by you, and he took us as pupils. And finally, a couple of months ago, another man came to us and gave us power for revenge!"
"And you simply couldn't refuse for this opportunity", Aizawa simply deduced in sadness feeling that he made kids to become outlaws. "And let me guess my imposter is your mentor."
"yOu GoT iT rIgHt, AiZaWa!" Another Eraserhead gleefully answered coming into view. "wHeRe YoU sAw WoRtHlEsSnEss, I SaW pOtEnTiAl! aNd ToOk ThOsE kIdS aS mY aPpReNtIeNcE."
"Kikkawa, Terada, don't listen to him he is just using you!" Shota warned them pointing at Another Rider. "Listen what happened to your fathers…"
"SHUT UP!" both shouted in rage scaring a Pro. "We don't care what you had done to those old geezers! They get what they get! But you, Aizawa ruined our life! If it wasn't for you, we would be Pro Heroes! And we would have a better life!"
"AND NOW AIZAWA-SENSEI, YOU WILL PAY!" both holds a simple AnotherWatch before pushing the top button.
DOUBLE!
The watch becomes two black vortexes before it flies around their waists becoming the two belts from before. However, the belts they were wearing were two halves instead. The right part to Taisho and the left part to Renn.
CYCLONE! JOKER!
The belts announced in dark and distortion voice. Then both were surrounded in two small purple and green whirlwinds that becomes a big one. Then belt halves let out strange strings that connects to each other before finally slamming both boys together.
Then it became creepy when Shota sees that both boys' halves were stitched to each other voodoo style, mimicking Another Double.
ANOTHER TIME!
Then the whirlwind becomes a tornado that engulfed them, as they transformed into the W Dopant, who roared angrily.
DOUBLE!
Another W punched Shota, who couldn't use his Quirk because of Another Eraserhead, breaking his trademark goggles. Then the monster grabbed him by the throat and slammed him into the wall.
"lOoK aT yOu, ErAsErHeAd", Another Eraserhead sneered at him. "bEaTeN bY yOuR oWn StUdEnTs! aNd sOoN yOu WiLl WaStE tHe ReSt Of YoUr LiFe In JaIl! aNd YoU hAvE nO oNe To SaVe YoU! yOu LoSt! aNd YoU aRe AlOnE!"
"nOw ErAsErHeAd-SeNsEi!" Another Double said with voices of both Renn and Taisho. "cOuNt uP yOuR sInS!"
At that moment, Shota was bombarded by the memories of his past. More importantly about what he had done and all people he wronged before. How he treated his friends; how he insulted his colleagues; how he belittled his students; how he pushed away his family. The past came back to kill him. And he has no one blames but himself. Now he realizes that the reason of all his problems was himself. If only he could see it earlier.
"First, I push the person, who was like brother to me, away only because I was angry at the death of our mentor", Shota said much to the confusion of two monsters. "Second, I stopped getting close to people only because of the death of my best friend. Third, because of my losses, I started to kick out students, which I deem unworthy and breaking their dreams because of it."
"wHaT aRe YoU bLaBbErInG aBoUt?!" Double Dopant demanded with a snarl.
"What did you ask me: counting my sins", Aizawa said in a monotone. "Fourth, I insulted and pushed the last people and family that ever cared about me because of the old grudge. Fifth, I refused to accept a person as a student only because of my hatred to Kamen Riders. Sixth, I was always showing rude demeanor only because I am afraid to show my true self."
"sHuT uP!" they screamed strangling the hero stronger.
"Seventh, I couldn't saw the darkness you two was carrying that day and I didn't help you when you… needed… it… the most…", Shota continued with coughs from losing to much air. "For…this…I…apologize…"
At little moment boys hesitated for a second before lunging at him again, "wE dOn'T nEeD yOuR aPoLoGiEs! wE wAnT yOuR hEaD! DIE!"
'HONK!'
Before Aizawa could lose his life, he heard a very loud honk. They turn around only to widen their eyes as to see a huge tank-like vehicle driving at them at full speed. Then it rammed at monsters and made human to roll on the ground, but fortunately he was uninjured.
When Shota opened his eyes, he saw that the tank was actually Revolgarry. He was even more surprised when the top of this vehicle opens and from it comes out Izuku, Shotaro, Philip, Ryu, Akiko, and others.
"What do you think about our ride now, kid?" Shotaro asked green Katsuki slightly.
"Fine your tank is fucking awesome! Happy?!" Bakugo reluctantly shouted before becoming sick again. "But I think I lose my lunch out there."
"This was amazing!" Izuku cheered in his fanboy fashion. "What would happen when I will get my own bike?"
"Your mother will have a heart attack", Katsuki pointed out making Deku to freeze on the spot, completely agreeing with him.
Suddenly, Akiko noticed Aizawa in his weak, beaten, and defeated state.
"Sho-chan!" she said in surprise, seeing her cousin.
"Eraser!" Mic pointed at him in shock before running and helping him to stand.
"How did you find me?" Shota asked in shock as he sees his friends, family and students came back for him.
"Actually, we were searching for Another Double", Ryu commented helping him to stand. "And it wasn't difficult because of this giant green tornado that he created."
BONK!
"Aagh!" Shota cried in pain as Akiko hit him with slipper 'idiot'.
"Baka, what were you thinking?!" she shouted at him after hitting. "You really thought you had a chance against two monsters?! Who is an irrational, now?!"
"Eraser where are your goggles?" Mic asked in concern remembering what these goggles were truly for.
At this question, Shota frantically goes to his head and finds out that his most precious possession is gone.
"lOoKiNg FoR tHiS?" Another Eraserhead hissed gleefully showing them. Then he crushes them by squeezing his hand, much to Shota's and Hizashi's shock. "oOpS. iT wAs ImPoRtAnT fOr YoU, aReN't It?"
Then he started sadistically laughing as Aizawa's world was crushing. Because these goggles weren't just part of his costume or gear that helped him to use his Quirk. It was also the last reminder of his greatest friend.
"Bastard…", he fired with a glare and even without his Quirk, this stare was terrifying.
"nIcE mEmEnTo", Another Rider sneered before dropping them on the ground and raised his foot. "rEsT iN pEaCe, ObOrO!"
Before he could stomp on it…
Bonk.
Haruna hit him on the head much to everyone's shock.
"That's not yours, meanie!" she shouted picking up goggles and holding a little slipper which written 'baddie'. "Why are you hurting Uncle Shota?! You are big, fat, stupid meanie!"
This show made everyone to have widen eyes from disbelief.
"That's your daughter, Akiko", Shotaro commented to the woman, who were crying tears of pride.
"wHy YoU lItTlE… bRaT!" Another Eraserhead lungs at her wildly much to everyone's horror.
"AAAAAHHH!" she screamed in fright.
"HARUNA!" Shota freaked out before breaking out from his friends' grip and running at the fray. He then quickly grabs her but receives the full strike from his imposter sending him to crash into the tower and breaking his ribs.
When everyone runs to the tower, they see Aizawa crouching like a ball protecting little Haruna from the crash and debris.
"Uncle Shota are you okay?" Haruna asked quietly.
"I am, Haruna just a little peachy", Shota grunted with a wince. Then he realizes something. "Are you not afraid of me?"
Instead of answering, the little girl just hugs him, much to his surprise and shock. If it wasn't for this pain, he would hug her too.
"Does this answer your question?" Philip asked with a large smile with others sharing it.
"wHy YoU cAn'T jUsT dIe?!" Another Eraserhead lunged at the group again. However, this time the group was prepared. Izuku and Geiz intercept him and gave him respective slashes via Zikan Girade and Zikan Zax, respectively.
"You know, I actually met a lot of monsters in my life, but it takes a special breed to direct such vile and hatred towards a child!" Geiz exclaimed raising his ax.
"Especially if it comes from alumni of U.A!" Izuku added pointing his sword at him. This information surprises everyone, even the monsters themselves. "I know who you are. You were alumni of U.A. before becoming Fallen! You were a student on the same year as Aizawa-sensei and Present Mic-san! You are former Pro Hero Mister Blaster! The real name is Sensoji."
It made everyone to drop their jaws at such revelation. To hear that Midoriya accused that the monster was a former Pro Hero, it was unbelievable. All before their former opponents were just young teenagers that were easy to fool but to hear that a grown man was succumbed to this power is terrifying, especially if this man was a Pro Hero in the past.
Suddenly Another Eraserhead started to chuckle lightly before it become a maniacal laughter, which freaked everyone out. Then he was engulfed in dark sphere before it dispersed revealing it's identity. He is a large, bulky man, possessing defined scarred muscles and wide shoulders. He has sharp eyes and no eyebrows, a pointy nose, as well as a prominently large, square jaw. His hair has sideburns which become a large goatee, and in the nape area his hair is a bit longer, and a pointy dirty mohawk. His name is Sensoji, also known as a former Pro Hero, which are labelled as the Fallen, Mister Blaster.
While for the most part of the team, they had no idea who that man was. However, Shota and Hizashi was in complete disbelief to see a familiar face as their enemy.
"I can't believe it", Mic mumbled taking off his sunglasses to see clearer. "Sensoji is that truly you?"
"Huh, took a while for you to get it, Yamada", Sensoji chuckled cruelly showing some of his yellow teeth much to their disgust. He then looks at Izuku and continues "But I must admit you are smart, kid. No one could predict this. But I am curious how did you piece it together?"
"It started from your attack at U.A.", Izuku started with a strong, also known as hard-boiled, stare. "U.A. is well-known for it's securities measures. It was impossible for you to suddenly appear on the grounds without triggering any alarm. The only way you can enter U.A. without any problem is by a pass or student's ID. As I learnt before that Another Double are drop out students, it means they haven't received passes. And who also has an easy access to U.A.?"
"Alumnus", Sensoji finished with a dry smirk. "But how have you learnt that it was me? I am not the only alumni, who wanted to strangle Aizawa."
"I am coming to this part", Izuku answered with a raised hand. "After learning that culprit must be an alumni, I contacted my sources…"
"You have sources?" Geiz asked in confusion.
"I meant Sento-senpai", Midoriya whispered to him making his 'partner' to nod in understanding. "I ask my sources to find out with whom Aizawa was studying at his school days. And what their relationship with him were. And then I learnt about you. How you treated your classmates. How you didn't like Aizawa-sensei. How you were temperamental and didn't listen for anyone. How on one mission, you lost your cool and with this a control of your Quirk and destroyed a bus full of people. You lose your title as Pro Hero and was labeled as the Fallen."
"Fallen?" Ochako repeated in confusion.
"It's means Pro Heroes that turned away from their path and become villains", Phillip explained. "A couple of years ago those Heroes received a label 'Fallen'. However, at the current time, that name was forgotten, and they were labeled as 'villains' too."
"However, you escaped your trial", Midoriya continued his speech. "And then you were caught by…Aizawa-sensei and was put into the jail for 20 years. And finally, you escape the jail 2 years ago."
"Precisely, kid. You got everything right", Sensoji said with a chuckle as Double Dopant come to their senses. "After escaping the jail, I tried to stay low and accidently met those two brats. When they told me that Aizawa became a teacher at U. A. and expelled them, I was esthetic. it was a good gift for me. My own pupils with full hatred against Eraserhead. Then month ago, we met a man who gave us those 'watch-trinkets' to transform and to frame Eraserhead. But how did you get so much information about me? I would never believe that you can hack into U.A. database."
"Well, information about the fact that you knew Aizawa-sensei from the school I learnt from U.A.", Izuku proudly answered. "And about other things, I am kinda a hero fan. And my hobby is to track down all Pros activities. Even those that are not so well-known like Aizawa-sensei."
"I can't believe that your hero stalking was useful for once", Bakugo commented in disbelief. And his shock was shared by others that Izuku was right about his hypothesis. It was incredible that 16 year's old kid found out the identity of the criminal much faster than detective or police.
"You actually have a good mind, kid. I am impressed", Sensoji commented sounding sincerely as it could be possible. "You could become my apprentice. And then you will get fame and respect you deserve."
"No, thank you", Midoriya answered without a note of hesitation. "I will take my chances as a Pro Hero and a Kamen Rider. And U.A. and my predecessors can teach me more about heroism than you."
"If they let you after your expulsion", Sensoji smirked much to the surprise of others. "Yeah, kid I heard everything. You do his test perfectly and fought against two Kamen Riders at their strongest. And still Aizawa expelled you only because for the fact that you are Rider. And still for his stunts he didn't get any punishments for what he is doing. Even if you save him, that man would never appreciate it and would simply push you aside. But if he would be arrested then your expulsion would be nullified. Tell me why you would risk your entire future for the person like him?"
Izuku sighs before saying the same thing he told his friends before, "If I decide, who will live and who will die, I will never become a true Hero nor Kamen Rider."
Once again everyone was impressed by Izuku's determination and righteous. But no one was surprised than Aizawa himself. The kid, who deem without potential and whom he expelled on his first day just said that he wants to defend him and fight for him. He had no reason to do it but he still doing it. For a moment he saw Shotaro in Izuku's place.
"Wouldn't say this better myself, Izuku", Shotaro commented proudly first time calling Izuku by his name. Then he turns to look into Shota's eyes. "Shota, I know that you hate my guts and don't want to see me. And I would respect your wish even if I don't understand it. However, I can't close my eyes on one thing. I made a promise that I would protect anyone who lives in my city. And that's includes you. I will clear your name and I don't care if toy want my help or not, I will fight for every citizen of Futto!"
Aizawa will always tell that it was a concussion but for a little second, he was sure that in Shotaro's place was their old mentor, Narumi Sokichi, much to his own shock.
Unfortunately, their determinative and noble speeches haven't impressed Sensoji at all.
"What did I expect from asking the help from Kamen Riders?" he asked in disgust before taking out his Anotherwatch. "You never see the opportunity."
ERASERHEAD!
Then he puts this Anotherwatch into himself before Sensoji was engulfed into a dark cloud. The only thing that left of him as glowing bloody red eyes.
ANOTHER TIME!
ERASERHEAD!
Then he jumps from the cloud looking as monstrously as usual. But his appearance didn't waver the determination of our heroes. If anything, it made them more determinative than ever.
"Man, what an ugly mess", Shotaro commented with tch before pulling out the Lost Driver. "Are you ready Philip?"
"Of course, Shotaro", Philip replied pulling out the Lost Driver too. "It was a while since I used this thing."
"No one dares hurt my family", Ryu said equipping his Acceldriver. "Never again."
"Let's go, Geiz-kun", Izuku said putting on Ziku-Driver.
"Don't command me, Zi-O", Geiz snapped at him but put his own Driver too.
CYCLONE!
JOKER!
ACCEL!
ZI-O!
GEIZ!
"HENSHIN!" the five Riders shouted in determination.
CYCLONE!/JOKER!
ACCEL!
RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER ZI-O!
RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER GEIZ!
Izuku, Geiz and Ryu transformed into their Rider Forms while Shotaro and Philip were surrounds in the winds of Fuuto until the former was transformed into Kamen Rider Joker. And the latter transformed into identical Rider only with different colors, only instead of black was green and instead of purple was yellow. It is Shippu Hero: Kamen Rider Cyclone, Philip's another alter-ego, which he rarely uses.
All those five heroes were ready to fight for the freedom of the good man
"fIvE aGaInSt TwO? tHaT's NoT fAiR!" Another Eraserhead pointed out before clapping his hands…
MASQUERADE!
…and from the dark smoke appears at least 20 men wearing suits with bone-like masks that have a spine and rib cage design.
"Who those guys?!" Katsuki asked in shock.
"That's Masquerade Dopants!" Zi-O answers in shock too. "Masquerade Memory are mass-produced, and it uses to create many Masquerade Dopants. However, they don't have any notable powers except that they are slightly stronger than average humans. They act as grunts or thugs."
"I see. They are like Villains' Extras!" Bakugo called in realization. "Who knew that Villains have something like this?"
"Don't take them lightly. While they are weaker than normal Dopants, they can take you out with numbers", Zi-O explained further. "But I have no idea who creates new Gaia Memories if Museum is disbanded?"
"It's STREET", Shotaro explained. "Our new enemies. They are not of your concern for now."
"I don't care who they are or where they came from", Bakugo said with a scoff raising his hands. "I am gonna blast their boney asses and I am gonna do it badass."
"In any cases using your Quirk is forbidden", Accel pointed out as a cop while Iida exposes his engine calves. "However, right now you can do it due the self-defense. Just not overdo it."
"Understood", Alpina, who prepared her blaster, Tenya and Ochako nodded in agreement while Katsuki scoffed before all of them prepared for the battle.
However, before all of them could start a fight…
"Wait!" Aizawa interrupted hobbling to the surprised Zi-O. He then takes a Blankwatch from his wrist strap. Then this watch starts to change shape into a black-based and gray faceplate with a Eraserhead's symbol, which is pair of goggles and long scarf, on the plate and the number 2009, which is his year, was at the bottom.
ERASERHEAD!
"Is that?! A Eraserhead Herowatch?!" Zi-O asked dumbfounded. "But Aizawa-sensei, why?!"
"Don't. If I start thinking why I will probably change my mind", Shota said in surprisingly joking manner. "No go out there and show what you can do…Kamen Rider Zi-O."
Izuku couldn't help but to smile under his helmet. It felt pretty good that Aizawa started to trust him. He simply nods before twisting the faceplate of Herowatch, revealing to be Aizawa's face into his Pro Hero mode, and activates it.
ERASERHEAD!
He then slid the Ridewatch into his belt and felt the big power emanate from it. He then pressed a top button on the belt.
"HERO HENSHIN!" Zi-O shouted his new catchphrase and spun his belt.
RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER ZI-O!
As always, behind Izuku should appear the container which would keep his next armor…except this one is very weird even by their current standards. It was revealed to be a human-sized manga! It then opens and revealing various pages of Eraserhead. Then they start to glow and from them shots various piece of armors before it takes the shape of Eraserhead, standing tall and 'glaring' over his opponents.
ARMOR TIME!
Zi-O comes to this armor and gently pushes it, scattering all parts in the air before all of them reassembled over him.
ERASER~HEAD~!
Zi-O's new armor is simply black. It had black arms, black gloves, black shins, black boots, black kneepads, black armbands and even the chest-piece watch strap which goes past his belt. The only way that had a different color is his vast grey scarf, which wasn't made of cloth but something metal, that was warped over his neck, with two tendrils dropped over his shoulders. Each shoulder pad is carrying the half of Eraserhead's goggles, the left part on the left shoulder and the right part on the right shoulder. His headpiece was black to imitate the original one's hair and small yellow goggles on his forehead. And finally, Zi-O's pink katakana letters come back, now spelling 'Eraserhead' (イレイザー・ヘッド)!
And then the transformation finished. And this one surprised not only those who haven't seen this but also those, who already saw his abilities before. But now it was different. It was the one thing to use powers of past Kamen Riders but to use powers of Pro Heroes is something unheard of. What else Zi-O can do?
"Sho-chan's futari?!" Akiko asked herself in disbelief.
"That Armor?! How can he use it?", Present Mic asked in shock at seeing that Midoriya can use Pro Heroes powers too. He was also curious about how PresentMicArmor would look like.
"He can use the power of other Pro Heroes", Tsukuyomi mouthed in astonishment and slightly feared by reminding her of his future-self and his abilities.
"This is amazing!" Ochako cheered in awe. If he did become Eraserhead could he become Thirteen too?
As usual when Zi-O tried a new Form he wanted to say something…but he had no idea what to say. He looks at the original wielder of this power in questionable manner. "Why are you looking at me? I don't have a catchphrase. Fight him already!"
"Ok, then I will create one for you", Zi-O called back not hearing protests of Pro. After a minute he think of one. "I am watching you. You will not have your way."
"Well, that's something you would say, Aizawa", Mic commented with a grin.
"Maybe", Aizawa said with lowered eyes. But he did find something interesting in his words.
"IWAE!" Woz proclaimed with his book much to the surprise of others. "He is heir to all Kamen Riders! The King of Time who travels beyond time and space to rule over the past and the future! His name is Kamen Rider Zi-O EraserheadArmor! And at this moment, he has received the power of the Pro Hero for the first time! With his watchful stare of the warrior, he will eradicate all forces! Let his glare to erase his enemies!"
"WOZ?!" everyone asked in confusion to see him here.
"Is he always doing this?" Tenya asked in genuine confusion.
"Only on debut of Zi-O's Armors", Geiz replied in annoyance.
"Great, Art Nerd is insane", Katsuki commented with a facepalm.
"Woz-kun you need to run!" Zi-O tried to warn him. "Right numbers are not on our side! You can get hurt!"
"Absurd, Izuku-sama!" he shouted with a big enthusiasm. "I was waiting for too long! It's time to show you what your loyal servant and scriber can do!"
"You can fight?" Ochako asked in confusion.
"Of course, I can Ochako-chan", Woz said with a smile before picking up the pipe and spinning it like it was a bo staff or a spear. "I came from the same place as Geiz-kun and Tsukuyomi-kun. It would be stupid of me if I didn't have any skills in combat."
"Well, it makes sense", Zi-O nodded in understanding. "Ok, you can join us. Just be careful, okay?"
"Of course, my king", Woz whispered the last part so only he could hear. "Now you will lead us to the glorious victory!"
"Does this idiot have a turn off switch?" Bakugo grumbled in annoyance at Woz's flamboyance. "He is even worse than Deku."
"i HaVe No IdEa wHaT iS gOiNg On, BuT i DoN't CaRe!" Another Eraserhead snarled before scoffing. "iT mEaNs i CaN kIlL eRaSeRhEaD tWiCe!"
"You will not", Philip injected into the conservation flicking his wrist.
"Because we are gonna stop you", Cyclone finished for him.
"Now, count up your sins!" Both Riders said at the same time, standing back-to-back extending their arms in their main pose
"Now, let's shake it off!" Accel called pulling of his Engine Blade.
"Kamen Rider Geiz! I fight for the sake of the future!" Geiz joined with his Zikan Zax.
"I will blast you all and become №1!" Katsuki added with a pyro grin.
"Kamen Rider Zi-O EraserheadArmor! With this power bestowed upon me I will forge a path to a better future!" he finished his own catchphrase.
"lEt Me GuEsS. nExT yOu ArE GoNnA sAy SoMeThInG uSeLeSs AnD mEaNiNgLeSs As OuR sChOoL's MoTtO", Another Eraserhead sneered at them. "gO bEyOnD, pLuS uLtRa. wHaT tHe BuNcH oF dUmB wOrDs."
"It's actually explained why you failed to become a hero. It was because you couldn't understand the simplest things", Zi-O shake his head in disappointment. Then he decides to say something that will inspire his friends. "Actually, I wanted to say this. Let's Go Beyond Time and Space! Plus Ultra!"
"PLUS ULTRA!" all of them shouted in agreement. Seeing that his idea to inspire them worked Zi-O smiled under his helmet. The team is ready for a fight.
You could almost hear jazz music playing as the group charges forward.
W-B-X crime and the city
"RRRARGH!" All of them screamed as Rider and Heroes started to fight their opponents. Zi-O with Another Eraserhead; Cyclone and Joker with W Dopant; Ochako and Tsukuyomi, Tenya and Woz, Accel and Geiz, and Bakugo took on all Masquerade Dopants.
Mata dare ka ga Totsuzen doa wo tataku
Jiken no yokan "Welcome to windy city"
Zi-O and Another Eraserhead was trading punches and kicks. And despite the everything both sides were equally matched. And both sides didn't want to lose.
"i WaS a PrO fOr YeArS! dO yOu ReAlLy ThOuGhT tHaT sOmE BrAt CoUlD sToP?!" Another Eraserhead gloated overpowering our hero.
"If you were a real deal, yes", Zi-O fired back before kicking his opponent of. "But you never were a true hero if the only you think about is revenge."
"wHy YoU lItTlE bRaT! i WiLl DeStRoY yOu!" Another Hero snarled before using his bindings to attack.
However, Zi-O uses many acrobatic tricks before landing on one of the bindings and runs to him much to everyone's surprise. Then he punches the imposter into face slamming him into the wall.

At the same time, Fuuto Riders not only outnumbered Another Double but also outmatched him. Despite having the same power as originals, W Dopant keep struggling from the cooperativities of Cyclone and Joker.
"tWo On OnE iS nOt FaIr!" they wailed from quick jabs of Cyclone and hard kicks from Joker.
"That's funny, since you two are two boys in one body", Cyclone chuckled a little.
"Also, you two were using that form to frame us and then tried to kill your former teacher!" Joker accused him before his expression become softer. "But I can't blame you two. You are just two kids, that were just very unlucky and then listened to a bad man. But you can end this just let it go."

The Riders masterfully dodged each of strikes and continues their assault. They moved as one. Ducking, dodging, and striking. Swerving around each other's attacks and working like they have one mind.
All this confused the Another Rider that he didn't notice as Joker break his hand riffle and Cyclone blows away his flames, much to the monster's shock.
(W-Boiled Extreme!)
CRACK!
"wHaT tHe…?! HoW?!" they shouted in pain after returning their original colors.
"Not so tough after all", Cyclone commented dryly.
"We're just better than you," Joker added before continuing their assault.
W-B-X!
Futari no body and soul!
Accel and Geiz were easily taking out most of Masquerade Dopants with their respective weapons. Well, considering that their opponents are bunch of grunts that's not surprising at all.
"I remember a time when those guys were tough", Accel commented with a smirk taking five out. "Now they can be taken out without breaking a sweat."
"Tell me about it", Geiz nodded in agreement shooting one of the crooks with his arrows. "I don't even need to change my Form."
(Hoka ni nai sa only! Tsumari ainori)

Tsukuyomi was shooting any Dopant that she could see. But those that were too close to her she tries to kick them or blast them with her Quirk. She finds herself back-to-back with Ochako, who was fighting with light and quick punches and kicks, before she jump-kicks another Masquerade Dopant.

"Nice moves", Alpina commented impressed by the brownette moves before blasting another grunt with her Quirk. But it was weak because she needs energy blasts to make her combustion bigger. "Where did you learn it?
"3 years of New Amanogawa's Kickboxing Club", Uraraka replied dodging another swing from her opponent before pushing him onto the ground. "Kisaragi-sensei said if I want to become a Pro in the future, I need to learn how to fight by myself without using my Quirk. And looks like he was right."
"Looks like it", Tsukuyomi nodded in agreement before shooting two more. But she knows that they can't continue like this. They need a plan. And she knows one. "We need to counterattack. I have an idea, but I need your assistance. Do you trust me?"
Ochako nods as to say 'yes', then future girl whispers everything to her. Uraraka gives her a high five making both to fly in opposite direction, while using Masquerade Dopants' heads as stepping stones. Ochako uses Tsukuyomi's blaster and pushes some buttons, charging the red energy. Ochako shoots this blast at Tsukuyomi, who stops it by one hand and changes its' color and shape before sending it at the Dopants destroying them in a large explosion. Uraraka floats beside Tsukuyomi before landing behind the fire. Both girls are looking as badass as possible.
(W-B-X crime and the city)
Bakugo was pummeling his part of Dopants…not so easily like he imagined. While indeed his explosions were far more than the match for them. However, those crooks had an advantage in numbers and that they don't feel pain at all. And these facts very displeased him.
"Damn it", he swore blasting another crook. In the place of one three more appears. "Those extras are keep multiplying despite all those blasts I am giving them." He pants from all these explosions he gives them before his face gets his signature scowl, "I don't care how much those bastards here! I will take them all! I will become number one!"

With a wild shout he jumps to intercept his opponents before joining his hands and creating powerful blast that destroys 5 monsters. Before he could glorify in his victory 10 Masquerade Dopants jump on him making him immobilize. However, all of this just made Katsuki mad. He was so mad that his hands were glowing red.
"DIE!" he bellowed and lets out the most powerful explosion he could. It did a trick as it annihilates each of his opponent. Unfortunately, Bakugo haven't it felt as easy victory.
"Fuck", he cursed in pain and pants. This powerful attack not only took all his remaining stamina but make his arms to hurt as hell. He doesn't think he can continue any longer, much to his chagrin and his damaged pride. "Never… again."

Tenya was mostly using his speed to ram into his enemies or quickly dodges their attacks. When one of them grab onto his back, Iida quickly crash his back onto the wall, knocking the creature out.
"Yah!" he cried as he swing kicked four monsters down. He is not master at kickboxing, but he knows how to fight with his legs and feet. "The training was fruitful for me."
Woz so far, had shown that he is best fighter from non-Riders. He was using his pipe to not only block their attacks but to hit them too. He is too quick and too crafty, that helps him to dodge their punches. Also, his parkour skills make him unpredictable opponent.
"Not bad", Woz commented to them before using his pipe to gut them before he spins it again. Then he uses his weapon as pole vaulting before giving two hard kicks and lands on them. "But I am better."

"This was amazing… Woz-kun, right?" Tenya praised chronicler before trying to remember his name.
"Thank you for the compliment, Iida-san", Woz thanked him with a smile. "Your opinion is important to me."
Then he noticed that Zi-O had some difficulties from Another Eraserhead's bands. Knowing the monster's battle style, he gives Kamen Rider a good advice.
"Izuku-sama, look at this!" Woz called before activating his own scarf. He then uses as very big whip that ensnares Dopant into it before bashing him on the ground. "You have the same weapon! Use it!"
(Double Boiled Extreme!)
Zi-O notices his own scarf and lets out, "Those things. I think I can make it work."
W-B-X!
Then he tries to throw those bandages as whips too and he surprisingly finds himself doing the same tricks the original Eraserhead can do. He throws capture weapon, for real this time, making the imposter to do the same.
Both piece of cloths/weapons were clashing for the dominance. While they were made from, probably, the same material, the only winning factor were skills, and creativity. And despite the brute force of Another Eraserhead, Zi-O was a victor through a sheer determination and quick-learning.
SHATTER!
"nO! mY wEaPoNs!" Another Eraserhead wailed as seeing that his capture weapon is destroyed. "yOu WiLl PaY fOr ThIs, KaMeN RiDeR!"
He immediately activates his monster's ability, as his red demon's eyes glowing. And immediately Uraraka's, Iida's, Bakugo's, and Tsukuyomi's Quirks turned off leaving them almost helpless to the remaining Dopants.

"GRAGH!" Another Eraserhead cried in pain as Zi-O surprises everyone by one simple fact. He uses Zikan Girade and shoots Another Rider in the face. Right into his red eyes. It not only injures Another Eraserhead but also disables his ability to erase Quirks, much to the relief of others. "mY eYeS! wHy YoUr PoWeRs WoRk?! i DiSaBlE yOuR qUiRk!"

"That's exactly where did you made couple of mistakes", Zi-O stated as he twirls his weapon. "First, you can erase Quirks or energies. But this gun/sword and it doesn't have energy, it's only blunt weapon. Second, your 'Quirk' wouldn't work on me anyway because I am Quirkless. Your powers are useless against me. Just like your true self."
"yOu WiLl PaY fOr YoUr InSuLtS! tAkE tHaT!" Another Eraserhead shouted as he raises his palms and unleashes a barrage of blasts from them. "tHiS iS wHy PeOpLe CaLl Me, Mr. BlAsTeR!"
Zi-O tries to dodge some of the shots, but he couldn't escape all of them, and receives some damage. Then he looks up and then at his scarf and gets the crazy idea. He uses his binding to grab onto some pipe onto the Futto Tower, then he pulls himself high up and swings to his opponent while shooting his gun. Then he jumps from it and kicks Another Eraserhead into the gut.

At the same time, Joker and Cyclone were winning against W Dopant, who get the form of LunaMetal. Despite his strong attacks, weaponry and powers, Another Rider couldn't match the skills and teamwork of the duo.

"It's actually pretty if you think about it", Cyclone quipped jokingly.
"It because it doesn't matter…", Joker said as he runs at the monster. "If it's two souls in one body…"
"Or two souls in two bodies…" Cyclone continues as he runs after his partner.
"We are…" Joker said as he jumps for a punch.
"…And always will be..." Cyclone jumps for a kick
"…Kamen Rider W!" they shouted as they punch and kick him respectively.
W-B-X!
The strikes not also push Another Rider to the wall, but also cracks his armor, reverting him back to his primary black and green colors.
"Looks like they are done for", Joker comments as he took his Gaia Memory. "Let's go, partner."
"Yeah, Shotaro", Cyclone said as he takes out his Gaia Memory and puts it into some black slot on his hip and activates it.
JOKER! MAXIMUM DRIVE!

Joker and Cyclone flick their wrists.
They jump into the air while the wind energy covers Cyclone's foot and purple flare.
"W RIDER KICK!" they shout out their finishers and destroys Double Dopant in fiery explosion.
From explosion Taisho and Renn drops out and near them Double AnotherWatch lies down sparking before it burst out and destroys itself.
Cyclone goes to the boys and check their pulses, "It's okay. They are out cold but still alive."
"Good to hear it Philip", Joker said as he looks like Zi-O can keep against Another Eraserhead but he still needs help. He took out the same Driver as before only this one has another slot for Gaia Memory. "Take them to the safe place. Kouhai needs our help."

At the same time, other students gathered all remaining Masquerade Dopants in one place.
"Geiz, Terui-san, now!" Tsukyomi called as she shoots one of the crooks.
"Let's go, kid", Accel said as he transforms into his Bike Form as Geiz jumps onto him.
"To save the future: you must disappear!" Geiz said as he activates the finishing attack on his Zikan Zax.
ENGINE! MAXIMUM DRIVE!
ZAKKURI WARI!
Then Geiz drives a flaming bike and surrounds Masquerade Dopants into a big fiery vortex, it also had red energy clock that slashes all crooks before they are burns in fire. Then he jumps from the bike, who quickly changes into is Rider Form, and lands near other students as explosion happens.
Saikou no paatonaa, Deau toki (Deau toki)
Kiseki okoru (so we can make it... W!)
It... W!
Just like his allies, Zi-O was almost done with his opponent too. Another Eraserhead had no hand-to-hand combat skills, which was pathetic considering that the original one's specialty. It made him an easy target for Kamen Rider, who already nullifies monster's other abilities.
Unfortunately, Another Rider is not above to fight dirty.
"cUrSe YoU!" he shouted as he throws some gallons and blows them up disorientating Zi-O by the sounds of explosions, making him to fall onto the ground. Then he raises his arms and shoots them akin gatling. "dIsSaPeAr!"
Now, everyone thought that Izuku is done for…
CYCLONE! JOKER!
However, before the blasts could touch him the figure, who engulfed in green and purple whirlwind, jumps, and intercepts the attack. It was the mix between Kamen Riders Cyclone and Joker, with the former on the right side and the latter on the left side. The only difference that it had is grey line in the middle and the new Driver, like the previous one, the figure was wearing. It was the red belt buckle, with two similar USBs but of different colors and symbols on them. The Driver was "opened out" in the shape of a 'W'. It was true Two-in-One Hero: Kamen Rider W.
"What are you doing, kid? Get up already", Shotaro's voice came from the left side of the Rider's helmet. "Do you really want to disgrace the name of your future teacher? Don't you dare to lose against this faker."
"Especially if you have the same abilities as him", Philip's voice called from the right side.
"You are right, Shotaro-senpai, Phillip-senpai!" Zi-O grunted as he gets up and prepares to fight once again.
"fOoLs, yOu CaN't DeStRoY mE!" Another Eraserhead laughed at them. "eVeN iF yOu CoUlD i WiLl JuSt ErAsE yOuR pOwErS, mAkInG yOu UsElEsS!"
"But how would you act if your powers would let your down?" Zi-O asked in deep understanding. Then he tries to focus and concentrate on his new powers. And suddenly his shoulder goggles start to glow red, with goggles on his forehead and surprisingly his visor too.
"iMpOsSiBlE!" Another Eraserhead said in shock at Zi-O's new powers but also because he lost his Quirk, both of Quirks. "yOu ArE qUiRkLeSs! YoU aRe WoRtHlEsS! YoU dOn'T hAvE pOwErS! yOu HaVe NoThInG!"
POW!
"You are irrationally wrong, I have friends", Zi-O said after punching annoying monster in the face. Then Double stands before him and clock rider tries to say something else. "It's illogical to resist."
"Now, you sound as Aizawa and this is scary", Shotaro commented with a chuckle. He then takes out his Joker Memory. "How about we finish him off?"
FINISH TIME! ERASERHEAD!
"Hi, Shotaro-senpai!" Zi-O said as he pushes the buttons and spins his belt. "Maybe I can't bring back the past you take from others, but I can give them a future without you in it!"
W-B-X!
JOKER! MAXIMUM DRIVE!
ERASURE TIME BREAK!
Double was engulfed in tiny tornado before hovering in the sky.
At the same time, Zi-O's visor glowed red too before his shoulder goggles activated too. The red glow from the goggles paralyzed Another Eraserhead, transforming him into a stone. Then he shoots his bindings at him and ensnares Another Rider. After this, he uses his scarf to raise above the ground joining his sempai.
Unmei no body and soul!
(Hoka no dare mo only! Tsumari kimi hitori)
Hitotsu ni
W-B-X!
Double's body literally splits down the middle as the halves descend on Another Eraserhad in a drop kick fashion. At the same Zi-O's right foot, that had a letter in katakana 'kick', glows bright red. You could also notice a blazing aura behind him.
Saikou no chemistry Hajimatta (Hajimatta)
Wadai sarau (so we can make it!)
Daburu wo sagase!
"JOKER EXTREME!"
"ERASER EXTREME!"
And with shouts of three people, they destroy their opponent in the traditional Rider Kick.
(W-B-X crime and the city)
"cUrSe YoU!" Another Eraserhead wailed in pain as electricity covers him before…
BOOM!
Zi-O and Double lands behind him as explosion takes away the disgrace of Hero Society.
(W-B-X crime and the city)
"Yes!" Zi-O cheered loudly as he puts his hands in the air.
"They did it!" Ochako, Tsukuyomi and Akiko said chorusely while Geiz, Woz and Tenya nodded in agreement.
"WOO-HOO!" Present Mic shouted with Haruna, while Accel could only shake his head. The only one who was unhappy is Katsuki, who could only let out a frown.
However, Aizawa, who received all his powers back after the loss of Another Rider, had expression of complete awe. It was because he just saw a Kamen Rider not only had a Form based on him, but he also mimicked his battle style, techniques and even Quirk. And he did it all in one go. It was more than impressive; it is simply incredible. And even despite his insults, Zi-O and Shotaro came back for him, only because it's the right thing to do. Aizawa didn't want to admit it, but Midoriya do have a potential to become a hero. One of the greatest, probably.
And Shotaro is true successor to Narumi Sokichi. Despite how many times he tried to convince himself that people are wrong about it. He couldn't help but to respect this man's compassion, dedication and most importantly forgiveness. All of those are characteristics of the true detective. He would never match to those expectations. Maybe it's time to forget about the past grudge?
Instantly, all of them heard cold, ominous, and slow clapping. They turn around and sees Schwartz, who had a sly smirk on his face. Even though his chosen just lost, he looked like it was a nice show from a boredom. Despite, his normal appearance, he made all students and heroes a little nervous.
"Looks like Heure and Ora was right about you, young Zi-O. You are strong", Schwartz said before looking at the Sensoji who tries to grab his broken AnotherWatch. Time Jacker then steps on it, shattering in the process, to the horror of the Fallen. "It's pity that all my candidates lost. But I should expect it. After all, those who failed once are supposed to never rise again."
"Schwartz!" Tsukuyomi said raising her blaster at him as Geiz and even Woz took battle stances. "Everyone, step away from him! He is a leader of Time Jackers, and he is dangerous!"
"Is that man, who created those freaks?" Bakugo asked incredulously. So far, he is not impressed with anything. "Is he supposed to be Deku's Final Villain? A simple old man? And how he is supposed to be dangerous?"
"Don't underestimate him", Geiz said as he raises his weapon. "He will kill you before you even know it."
"What's his Quirk?" Tenya asked in deep thought.
"Better not knowing about it", Woz said seriously as he raises his pipe.
"Glad to see that my reputation is follows me", Schwartz said with a smile. "Looks like you want to say something, Midoriya-sama."
"Yes, I want you to stop creating Another Riders", Zi-O said surprising everyone. "Those abominations are not only a mockery to real Kamen Riders and Pro Heroes, but also because of them not only innocent people are suffering but also the people, who become them. So, I ask you, let's just stop this war while we can."
To say that all his allies would be shell-shocked, it would be an understatement of the century. They couldn't just believe that instead of the usual Kamen Rider routine, Izuku would suggest trying and make a peace with his enemies. While it could be considered as lazy or cowardice, the truce will save a lot of lives from the danger. Unfortunately, it is still too good to be true as not all bad guys wish to surrender without a fight.
Instantly Schwartz started to chuckle quietly before it transformed into full blown laughter of mockery, much to Izuku's shock and disgust of Geiz, Tsukuyomi, Woz, and Riders, while other present time people were merely confused and slightly disturbed by his actions.
"Izuku Midoriya, thrives for peace and think of anyone but himself. You are different than I expected you to be", Schwartz continued to laugh. "You are so naive if you think that those people that me and my accomplices have chosen are innocent. On contraire, they have darkness in their hearts, desires for revenge, and wish to become stronger. And we just merely gave them the means to accomplish this. But their actions were by their own accords."
"And about other things? I think not. We didn't start this only to stop in the middle of the way. No. We will continue our mission till the end. We will do whatever it takes. And we don't care how much sacrifices it will cost or how much those people will suffer. We will create a different world. Ruled by the greatest king of all time!"
"You don't need to be the World's Greatest Detective to see that you see yourself as that king", Shotaro said with a glare under his helmet. This bastard reminded him so much about Jun Kazu. The worst person he ever met in his entire life. "It was noble kid, to end the war by forming a truce, before it would become too dangerous. Noble but also dumb. I met his kind before. Megalomaniacs like him will never agree for peace."
"I know but I just wanted to try", Zi-O sighed as he lowers his head. He wanted so much to end this madness before more people would get hurt but looks like you can't get what you want. He grips his weapon tightly before raising it, "If this is how you wants then you leave me no choice. I will stop you!"
He then rushes at Time Jacker, but he wasn't alone as Double, Accel, Eraserhead, Present Mic and even Bakugo joined him in the fray. However, Schwartz wasn't even concerned about the fact that he is attacked by six different people simultaneously.
"STOP!" Geiz and Tsukuyomi tried to stop them much to their confusion.
Before they could understand what just happened, Schwartz simply raises his hand before everything goes black.
…
…
…
"OOF!" Zi-O grunts in pain as he falls to the ground with Eraserhead by tackling into him. "What just happened!?"
It was revealed that they weren't the only one who was knocked out. Bakugo and Present Mic was tied together and was screaming at each other. Double was rammed into the wall while Accel is embedded into the ground by the debris.
Geiz, Tsukuyomi and other teenagers were lying on the ground while nursing their heads from headaches. The only ones who was intact are Akiko, Haruna and Tokime but they were so scared that it looked like they are paralyzed or better yet to say freezes in time.
"What it was?" Zi-O asked shaking from the fright.
"That was Schwartz's "Quirk", Time Zone", Tsukuyomi said trying to hide Schwartz power. "He can freeze time at the indefinite amount of time and in the big range of action."
"And he can freeze anything at that range", Geiz added sounded sore. "He can do anything he wants in that zone. He is too dangerous to attack head-on. That's what I tried to explain."
"I am sorry, guys", Zi-O apologized finally understood the consequences of his actions. Because of his rashness, he made all his friends vulnerable to Schwartz's time powers. If Schwartz wanted, he could end all of them in one go. And it's because he tried to attack him. "I overestimated my abilities and underestimating my opponent's strength. I am sorry."
"It's ok, son's best so hard on yourself", Hizashi said trying to make young rider to feel better. "You just had a rough and long day. So, you made one miscalculation. But all of us understand you, so no one would blame you for this. You will get him the next time, Eraser."
"Mic, I am right here", Shota said in annoying tone of his voice pointing at himself while everyone else is confused and surprised by the fact that Yamada just mix up Midoriya and Aizawa. "That's Midoriya."
"Really?" Hizashi asked in surprise. Before looking at both figures at the same time. "But you two look the same."
"In what place?" Shota asked with a glare and folds his arms. Zi-O unknowingly mimicked his stance. Then both Hero and Rider examine each other and seeing many similarities with each other. "Ok, maybe you got a point."
It made couple of people to laugh before authorities came, and Pro Heroes with Accel tried to explain everything about what just happened. Young Riders and students tried to hide so they will not get in trouble.
One thing for sure, the case about Eraserhead imposter is closed.
Narumi Detective Office
"Oh, you are finally back. I was starting to get worried", Tenma greeted our heroes as they came back to the building. "I am glad that no one of you were arrested."
"Glad to see that you had so much faith in us", Shota said sarcastically.
After the police came, Shotaro gave the video confession, which he made via his Bat Shot. It helped to clean Shota's name, much to his relief. Sensoji received 20 more years of incarnation, while Kikkawa and Terada, by the vote of Terui, gave only them a couple of months, since they are still underage, orphans…and they only listened to villain because they didn't had a simple choice. Those two suffered enough already.
"As you can see Tenma-san your case is closed", Akiko cheered enthusiastically. "Do you know what that means?"
"Oh yeah, your payment", Tenma said taking out the envelope. "Here it is."
"HUH!?" Shotaro and Akiko exclaimed in shock very offended. "THAT'S ALL!?"
"You should look closer", Tenma said with a small smile pointing at the writing. "Does that look familiar to you?"
All group look at the envelope but couldn't find anything unusual with that. There wasn't any mention of the sender or address from where it came. The only thing that there was is address of Narumi Detective Agency.
However, Shotaro, Akiko and Shota quickly saw what the issue is about.
"This handwriting, that's dad's", Akiko said in deep surprise, which were shared by the two other men. "How?"
"Your old man Sokichi came to me 10 years ago before his final case. He gave me this and told me to give it to his two best pupils. It's just like he knew he wouldn't come alive", Tenma explained with a bittersweet smile of nostalgia. "Unfortunately, back there I couldn't give you this as it was to be read by both of you. And you two couldn't be in put in one place for long before trying to kill each other. So, I decided to keep that's letter for the better time. And I don't think that there any better moment than now."
Both men were rectulantly to open this envelope. After all, they had no idea that Sokichi would leave something behind. They look at their allies, closest friends, and family and all of them nodded as to say, "go for it."
Knowing that the things need to be done, they opened envelope before starting to read out loud.
Dear Shotaro and Shota
If you are reading this, it means that something did go wrong at my last mission, and I didn't survive it. But I pretty sure that you did. I would have never forgiven myself if you shared my burden.
Anyway, I am writing this so I can finally say those words to you: thank you for being my pupils. When I was betrayed by Matsu, my former partner, I had fallen into a deep sense of despair. I was losing myself becoming the harsh shell of my former self. I could not imagine what I would end up like. However, everything changed when I met two young innocent kids, who wanted to become my pupils.
I wouldn't hide it from you, I didn't like you from the start and I didn't want anything to do with you, especially becoming your mentor. But you two annoyed troublemakers made realize for what I am fighting for. I am fighting for the people, who live in my city. You two convinced me to recover from my anguish, allowing me to fight one more as a detective and as a Kamen Rider. And for this you two earned my gratitude…and my respect.
That's why I am leaving you two my last gifts…
At this moment, the letter is revealed to be…
"It's ripped", Shota said in surprise looking at the rips on the paper. He then demands explanation from Tenma. "Hey, where is the second half?!"
"I don't know!" Tenma replied with raised hands. "I didn't open this letter! I had no idea that it had two parts! Looks like Soichi left us some riddles. He always liked them."
"What am I gonna do with you, daddy?" Akiko moaned with a face-palm.
"Wait there is something on the back", Izuku pointed behind the letter. It was dark grey USB and there was some writing too.
"My the most precious treasure…", Shotaro read with a confusion. "What is that supposed to mean? And why there was Gaia Memory?"
SAFE!
As soon as Izuku activated Gaia Memory, it immediately flew into Sokichi's portrait behind Shotaro. After that, the portrait started to morph before it become a real safe much to others' disbelief. Who knew that something like this could be even possible?
"HUH?! THERE WAS A SAFE AL THIS TIME?!" it was a reaction of everyone in the room.
"HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOWING IT?!" Akiko literally screeched in Shotaro's ear before hitting him again with her slipper.
"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW?!" Shotaro said in annoyance before running to the safe and trying to find the right combination. "What is a code?! What was boss's treasure?!"
"Don't look at me! You worked closer with him than me!" Shota fired back with a glare, while they were arguing, Izuku was talking with Akiko about something. "We need days to find the right code!"
"Why don't we break this safe or better yet why we don't blast it?" Katsuki asked in annoyance.
"By breaking the safe, we risk breaking what inside of it", Tsukuyomi pointed out flatly. "And if you destroy this safe, it will destroy the wall and entire building is gonna fall on us. Are you ever think before opening your big mouth?"
"WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN, EXTRA?!" Katsuki asked in anger aimed at his grandfather from the future.
CLANK!
"We opened it!" Izuku said with a cheer standing near opened safe with Akiko.
"How did you pick up the code?" Philip asked in surprise and was the only adult, which jaw haven't fall on the floor.
"Well, on his letter he wrote 'My the most precious treasure', for me it's my mother so I kinda thought that he was talking about Narumi-san", Midoriya pointed at beaming Akiko.
"And the code was my birthday. Daddy always was using it as his password. He always was thinking about me", she smiled at this new information about her father. She then looks at Izuku and hugs him much to his own shock. "Thank you, Midoriya-kun. You are smart and cute for your age. If I wasn't married and was younger, I would date you."
"Thank you for the compliment, Narumi-san. No girl ever said something like this to me", Izuku said with a sweatdrop, as he was overwhelmed by the female attention. He still doesn't know what to do in women presence.
Ochako was looking at this exchange and was frowning, feeling something hollow in her heart. Tokime noticed this and comments, "Jealousy is not suits you. And frowning only gives you wrinkles."
"What?! Me?! Jealous?! I am not jealous!...am I?" Ochako exclaimed loudly only the last part it was meekly. Tsukuyomi looks at her and shows her a gesture as to say, 'kinda'.
But Shota and Shotaro didn't listen to them they simply investigate the safe. Inside they find the rest of the letter, brown goggles with a headband constructed together, looking like his broken ones, and an old white fedora. Surprised by these gifts, Aizawa took out goggles with a brown USB, and Hidari takes out a letter and fedora.
You found my safe?! I am impressed! Looks like my lessons did in fact made you two smarter. Anyway, as I was saying I am leaving you two my last gifts.
Shota, for you I am leaving something to work better with your Quirk. It's a special gadget, which name is Falcon Goggles, that can transform into the goggles that will help you on your future Hero Missions. You will learn how to work this thing. Hero's work is not an easy business, trust me. I contacted one of my former allies to guide you. His name is Tenma Nakaoji, also known as Pro Hero His Purple Highness. He already knows about you, and he is very interested to work with you. Just beware he is very eccentric. But despite that, he can make a great hero out of you.
Shota simply inserts the Gaia Memory into the goggles.
FALCON
Then the goggles immediately transform into a small falcon that circles around Shota before putting itself onto him. It then changes back into goggles and tries to fit on his face. When he tries to readjust then he sees that they are high tech. He looks at people and goggles quickly abalones a person and gives some basic and personal data about them. He also changed settings: telescopic, binocular, ultraviolet, infrared, x-ray (only through walls and skins), etc. These goggles are ten times better than his old ones. Looks like he finds a new pair for himself after all. But he will still need to fix whatever left of his first goggles. It's memento after all.
Shotaro looks at the old hat and grips it tightly to his chest. For him it was just like for Shota his goggles. So many memories connected to this white fedora. He then looks down and continues to read further.
Shotaro, remember I told you that only you true men can wear this hat? Well, now you are one of them. I am very grateful to you, Shotaro. You reminded me too much of me in my days. Determinative, fearless, smart, and more importantly kind. Except for one fact. You love and believe in Futto more than I ever was.
Wear those gifts proudly my boys. I know that each of you are capable for great. Never forget it. I wish for you to remember something. I always told you that I am solving my cases alone. Looks like I lied not only to you…but to myself. In truth, despite my distance, I never was alone. I always had you two in my life…my sons.
I want you to remember two things. First, I want you to remember that you two are strong alone but together, you are unstoppable. You keep telling yourself that you are the different, but you are one and the same. Working together, you can accomplish everything. Never forget this.
Second, I want you to never repeat my past mistakes. Never push people away from you. Always keep them closer to you. As they will not only made you stronger, but it also will always remind you why you are fighting and for what. If you, do you will end up all alone, and this is something I will not wish for anyone.
Good luck, boys.
Signed Narumi Sokichi, Skeleton Hero: Kamen Rider Skull.
When they finished reading, they look behind a letter to find a last gift: the old photo of all of them together. It looks like it was Shota's first day at UA. He was wearing UA uniform and was smiling; it wasn't a huge grin but a small smile that the current Shota wouldn't repeat it now. Near him are younger version of Shotaro, who is not wearing his fedora and hugs Aizawa's shoulder and smiles. Between them stands an old man in his late 40's wearing a white suit and white fedora, the same one that was in the safe. He gives a warm smile while gripping shoulders of both teenagers. He looked very happy on that photo.
Both men appeared to choke by their own tears. That photo caused them to remember all those warm memories that they treasured. How they trained together. How they worked together. How they fought each other. It was a great time. How much time since that passed.
"Back there, things were much easier", Shotaro commented trying to dry his tears.
"You are telling me?" Shota asked sarcastically. Then his expression become one of guilt. Releasing why all of this happened in the first place. "I am sorry."
"What did you just say?" Hidari asked with widen eyes. And he wasn't the only one as every occupant of the room had the same expression of shock and disbelief.
"It was my fault. Not only with my imposter, Kikkawa and Terada but everything else too", Shota admitted with a sad sigh. What the point of keeping his pride anymore? Time to admit everything he ever kept inside. "I blame everything on you, as I deemed you responsible for that back there. However, I didn't care what you did felt that day. I just was angry and put all blame on you and decided to act like a brat and lost all contact with you. But I was the last person to judge you as I…never was there when he needed me the most."
"And then incident with Oboro happened. I lost my partner and best friend. I was enraged that day. And I was broken by his death. I supposed to be glad that I stayed alive and be glad that we saved many lives that day. However, I didn't and the only thing I did is to blame you, even though we won only because of your assistance. It was very irrational for my part."
"And then I become a teacher of U.A. I tried to use methods of our mentor. However, I didn't want to put up with some students as I thought that they had a potential for different things. Those students, who was unlucky enough already, gained a hatred for me and it came back to bite me in the butt."
"And even now, despite the ass I was today, you still came for my rescue as a true… Hero. You are true successor to the old man, and I was blind to not see this sooner. Old man said if he never met us, he would become a shell of his former self, and I became that shell, when I pushed everyone who cared about me away. I know it's far beyond the point of the forgiveness, but can you accept my honest apology…Shotaro?"
Hearing his own name from Shotaro made a surprise for him, but he can't show it as he looks at Aizawa's raised hand.
"After everything that happened today, it's a nerve that you ask for forgiveness, Aizawa", Shotaro replied sternly with a glare, shocking everyone and disappointing Eraserhead. Then detective once again looks at the white fedora before putting it on his head before shaking Shota's hand much to the crowd's surprise. "However, if I will not give you a second chance, I will never look in the boss's eyes again. I don't think that I can forgive you yet, but we can at least forget our past mistakes and move forward. How does that sound, Shota?"
"I wouldn't ask for nothing more than this", Aizawa said before both men shake their hands. It will not fix the problems of the past they had but it is start for the new friendship. Shota then looks at others and admits, "I own each one of you apologies for my words that I said today. I was wrong about everything. You didn't make me weaker; you make me grow stronger. I wouldn't accomplish anything if it wasn't for you. I owned you everything. I don't know what would happen to me if it wasn't your support. Thank you for everything. And I hope you can forgive me."
Ryu, Hizashi and Tenma looked at each other before nodded in agreement. Akiko still looked reluctant.
"Today, you saved my daughter, Aizawa", Ryu said with a smile as Haruna hugs Shota. "Despite your rough edges, you a good man. And you always had my respect."
"I know you from the moment, you first came in my agency at your first Internship", Tenma said with a dramatic pose. "And I never regret accepting you in."
"I know you from the moment, when you were transferred to my class after the Sports Festival", Hizashi said with finger-gun gestures. "We spent a lot together at school and at field. You will never get rid of me so easily."
"I know I can always count on all of you, especially you…partner", Shota said with a grin to shocked Present Mic, who was speechless for the first time in his life. Then he looks at the last person, who needs to apologize to.
She didn't say anything, while looking at his apologetic face, she simply turns around and pouts. Seeing that it will be difficult, Shota tries.
"Akiko, can you forgive me? You were right about me. I am a coward, who is pushing people away only because I am afraid to show them my true self. I am afraid to open up to people. I always took you and others for granted while I should keep you closer instead. You always tried to help me, but I brushed you off as ungrateful jerk I am. However, despite everything, you never gave up on me and always thought better of me. You always reminded me that I am not alone. And how did I pay you? I insult you, your friends and memory of your father. I am sorry Akiko. Truth is I do want to change but I can't this alone. I need you and your help, cus."
His speech of course deeply touched Akiko. Shota really admits his insecurities and even said that he wants to change. And she is ready to forgive him, but the problem is she can't forgive him so easily. He needs to pay a little for his stunts.
"I don't know Sho-chan", Akiko said cutely, which made Shotaro and Shota to shudder in fright. "Today you spit in my soul. I don't think I would ever trust you again."
"Fine", Shota face-palmed in annoyance as he recognized Akiko's drama queen act. "What I need to do, so that you can forgive me?"
"Well, nothing much", she smiled with an innocent but chilling smile. "I just have a friend, who is single, and I thought…"
"No dates, Akiko", he said firmly and seriously. "You know how I feels about dating."
"But please. You can't say no to those cutie eyes", Akiko pleaded with her daughter making puppy dog-eyes. "Only one date and if you wouldn't like it, I will leave you alone about dating for three months. Deal?"
"Fine, Akiko. Deal", Shota sighed in agreement. It's impossible to argue with her. Better agreed with her. That's the only way. "I hope I will not regret it."
"Don't worry, partner", Mic said with a smile and wink. "If things go south, I will substitute you, partner."
"Don't push it, Mic", Shota growled in annoyance before he let out a small, honest, and sincere smile.
"Also, Aizawa-kun, don't you think there is also one more, who needs you needs to talk to", Philip hinted before pointing at Izuku, who was growing uncomfortable under all those stares.
Shota simply nodded before walking to Izuku and looks in him into the eyes. Shota didn't know what to feel about the kid, after all that happened today. At first, he wants him far away from himself, so he wouldn't be a pain for him. And now, not only Izuku saved his live and cleared up Shota's honest name but also, he helped him to reunite with his family, helped him to bury his old grudges and finally he helped him to learn a secret about his late mentor. It made him to respect kid. Aizawa didn't want to admit it, but it will not be possible without meeting this new Kamen Rider.
And they need to talk about it, right now.
Everyone didn't make a sound, all of them was watching those two and couldn't wait for this exchange. They all wanted to know how everything will end.
"It was terrible", Shota said in deadpanned expression shocking everyone. "You were attacking too chaotical. You did break not only city's property but also breaks your opponent's ribs, concussion, and nine bones. Even if our opponents are dangerous villains, you can't act recklessly. You need to give your all in the fight, but you also need not to overdo yourself or else someone will die."
"If you plan to stay in my class you need to teach yourself a self-control", Shota finished with a smirk.
"What?" Izuku asked in surprise.
"What?" Tsukuyomi, Ochako, Geiz, Tenya and Woz asked in happiness.
"What?!" All adults asked in surprise at Shota's unexpected choice of words.
"WHAT?!" Katsuki shouted in anger.
Aizawa didn't showed any reactions to their shouts, or surprise. He simply looks at Izuku before continuing.
"I remember our bet. You need to show me that you have at least 1% of potential to become a Pro Hero. However, instead you have done something no one could in many years…you surprised me. Looks like I was wrong about my system of checking the potential, and perhaps I should keep an eye for more... surprises like you in my system. As irrational as you are."
"Does that mean I am accepted in your class?" Izuku asked with a wide smile. He couldn't believe his happiness. Does this mean that's Aizawa changed his mind?!
"I thought I started with that, Kamen Rider Zi-O", Shota smiled a little as he watches as Izuku celebrates and cheers with his friends at his victory much to the amusement of the others. However, their happiness was shorted as Eraserhead activates his Quirk again glowing ominously. "I wasn't finished talking yet. Today, you saved my live, you cleared up my honest name, you helped me to find the last message of my late mentor, and finally you help me to close all problems I had with my family. If you are thinking that you will get special privileges for this…then you can expect to get a painful kick out from U. A. for good. In our school all students are equal. Backgrounds or social status are irreverent. No one is better or worse than others. If you think that I will give you an easier time because you saved my life, you get another thing coming as it makes me go even harsher on you than before. Understood?"
Despite his angered speech, Izuku let out a simple smile of happiness and determination, "I wouldn't dream about it any other way, Aizawa-sensei!"
"That kid…", Shota let out with a huge grin of on his face. Maybe this teaching year would be different for him?
"Congratulations!" Ochako was hugging Izuku, who was blushing red. "I knew you will win!"
"You win as always", Woz said proudly.
"Good job, Midoriya-kun! As expected for a Kamen Rider!" Tenya said with a nod.
"Good work, Midoriya-san", Tsukuyomi said with a smile. She then looks at Geiz, who was aloof and thinking about something, before she elbows him, reminding him of the moment.
"Not bad, Midoriya", He commented with a sigh. "Without you, it would be wrong in U. A."
"Yeah, right", Katsuki scoffed in annoyance. "Like it will change anything. I will become the best student in U.A.! Just wait and see!"
"Really?" Geiz challenged him with a glare. "Because of Midoriya never went to U. A., then you would never have a chance that you are stronger and 'superior' than him."
"Don't you dare to be kicked out from U. A. Before I kick your butt, Deku!" Katsuki warned him with a glare.
"Sure, Kachan", Midoriya sighed in annoyance while Ochako and Tsukuyomi glared at Bakugo.
"That also reminds me", Shotaro said holding the Blankwatch from before. "How do you work this thing again? Cause it doesn't work on me for so some reason."
"Let me try", Ryu said as he took the watch from Shotaro. Then this watch starts to change shape into a black-based and red faceplate with a big letter 'A' on the plate and the number 2009, which is his year, was at the bottom.
ACCEL!
"Are you kidding me?!" Shotaro asked in disbelief. "What am I doing wrong?! Kids, give me another one!"
"Give me one too!" Hizashi shouted. "I have big plans for PresentMicArmor!"
"I am out", Izuku said checking his pockets.
"So am I. It was my last one", Geiz said as he takes Accel Ridewatch. "Does that mean we all used our Blankwatches?"
"Looks like it", Tsukuyomi sighed with a frown. "Before transforming you had one Ridewatch each. After becoming Riders, you got four more. And you used three of them by copying the powers of five Kamen Riders and one Pro Hero. And you gave two Ridewatches to Sento-san for his experiments."
"What about you?" Ochako said with a raised eyebrow. Tsukuyomi simply pulls out her blaster. "Oh, right. Your blaster. Does that mean that no one had any more watches?"
"I have a spare one", Woz said taking Blankwatch from his pocket. "But it is the last one, we need to make more."
"Do you know how?" Izuku asked in surprise.
"Of course, Midoriya-sama. But I need your assistance and your access to the special zone", Woz said with a bow confusing the teenagers from the present but those who from the future understood him.
Shotaro took the trinket again, only to meet with the same results, much to his annoyance. Philip then joins him and puts his hand on the watch. It did the trick as the watch starts to change shape into a purple-based and green faceplate with a big letter 'W' on the plate and the number 2009, which is his year, was at the bottom.
DOUBLE!
"Just like we said before, partner", Philip smiled a little. "We are W. Not you nor me alone but both of us together. That thing needed both of us to work."
"You always right, partner", Shotaro said as he gives Izuku W Ridewatch before he put on Sokichi's fedora. "How do I look?"
"Just like your mentor", Tenma smiled with a tear, remembering good times of his youth, as he looks at Tokime, who kisses Shotaro on the cheek. "Well, I will go. Also, Philip, work on your song. It needs to be heard by everyone. My acquittance will contact you."
"Goodbye, Nakaogi-san!" said Double's team as Tenma walks away.
"Well, how about we celebrate? It's just we have many reasons to", Akiko suggested before all of them started to drink tea. While they were busy with preparations, Woz started to narrate again.
"Just like you saw. Today was eventful", Woz said writing something. "Waga Maou, not only took powers of Kamen Rider W and Eraserhead, but he also defeated his first opponent, i.e., Shota Aizawa, while also earning his respect, and establishing his well-earned place as a student of U.A.'s Hero Class. But he has no time to rest. As tomorrow he has a new day and a new challenge."
The next day
U.A. High
Katsuki came to U. A. much earlier than anyone from his class. He glares at the entrance and thinks about what happened yesterday. How that useless, pathetic, and weak Deku, just outmatched a former Pro Hero and kick his ass, like a Pro, while he was busy with Villains' Extras. It pissed him off to think that Deku become stronger.
But not more. He no longer will look weak. Today he will show this class how strong he is and how destined he is to become Number One Hero. And no one will stop him.
And one of those Extras, even dare to stand in his way, he will blast them to oblivion.
"I will win", he promised himself with a glare and anger. "I will become №1."
The screen closes by the parts of Ridewatch before it closes, and we see the time stream in all its endless glory. With W Ridewatch and Accel Ridewatch in the background. And Eraserhead Ridewatch in the middle.
Next Time!
"I AM COMING FROM THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!"
"What is Class 1-B doing here?"
"I Don't need a Quirk to win!"
"Can you stop obsessing about this stupid rivalry for once?!"
Next Episode: Battle Trial 2018! Rivalry Time!
Go beyond time and space! Plus Ultra!
Here it is the end of my chapter. I know many things happened there. And added many things into this chapter. Not only Main Manga nad Main TV series, but io also added Futto Detective(we will see it's anime in 2022), Movie Taisens(both movies and movie about Chaser), and even Spin-off Manga Vigilantes(That's where i took Sensoji and Aizawa's friends from cat cafe), and even a little mention from Super Sentai(I am planning to create a crossover between this story and my future ZenkaigerxMHA story).
Now we now the full story of Shota Aizawa. And i kinda changed it by adding W's characters. Hope you like this view over this character. Or at least his bashing. Akiko can embarrass anyone, and Tsukassa is master troll. And don't worry Aizawa changed his viewpoint about his methods.
Sorry, if you haven't saw how Double's fight from the beginning. It's kinda i like KR Joker and KR Cyclone. And i was very dissapointed when i never saw that duet at TV or Movies. But i hope that a fight between those two against Another Double was entertaining for you.
And sorry, no WArmor for this chapter. But it will definitely make it's appearance in the next chapter.
But yeah, HeroArmor now in the action. EraserheadArmor will not be the only one. I have plans for such more. What Form you want to see in the future?
Also, yeah. The next chapter will be about Battle Training, only with little changes. Like a sudden appearance of Class 1-B. But for what? Just wait and see.
Also, had you heard about OOO 10th anniversary movie? It's teased already gives me so many ideas for my OOO Arc.
Last question, had you read about my new crossovers? It's about MHAxBen10 and MHAxZenkaiger. For the former i had done a half of prologue while for the latter prologue is done. However, i still need more votes for the title. If you want you can vote...or should i simply just publish it already.
If you have any more questions, send me Reviews or PM.
