Well, it's certainly been a while, my friends.

Chapter #?

P.O.V- Jaden

The right to fight

Well, this is a very interesting way of life now that I think about it. So many people here, cheering on children as they compete, using their abilities to gain any advantage possible.

Soon they will be cheering us on as we fight like animals. I'm going to steal a page from katsuki's book and say this is pissing me off.

I'm stuck behind three people that could be gods. Katsuki with his immense power, Shoto with the massive power bestowed to him with only more room to grow, and Izuku. Izuku has more potential than all of us. Something about him screams hidden power to me. All Might gave him something that will only get stronger as he masters it.

I wonder if I'll ever fit in that picture.

Time to give them all of my attention. I looked forward and saw that I had- completely missed all the instructions.

This is just great.

I looked around and saw everyone was paring up. I assume some group challenge maybe the points we got would have an impact this round. If it is a team challenge, people will stick to people they understand the power of- meaning I had no chance.

What I can do is crazy. I'm not a strong person by any means. I can kill and fight if I want, but my power is far more destructive than I, myself could understand.

In terms of collateral damage, I'm your guy but the potency of my attacks can be fatal if I use enough. I think. Maybe I could blow someone's heart up.

Enough thinking about that, the only chance I would have of someone seeking me out is Izuku but he probably is already working on a plan that is his main friend group. His little girlfriend is likey going to search him out especially but Tenya might not.

I turned towards the center of the mob of people and could single out Izuku easily. He seemed deep in thought as Tenya walked away from him.

Izuku, as if he sensed my gaze, looked up and tried making his way towards me.

That's when someone placed a hand on my shoulder.

I looked to see who it was and it was a purple-haired guy. The same one that showed up at our class.

"Couldn't help but notice you were alone, want to join my team?" He asked me

"No thank you, I'm-" I felt myself get cut off. I felt like I was slammed underwater and no longer could use my body for my own will.

My vision was cloudy and my hearing was strange.

I-what is this? This isn't normal. This must be a quirk, his quirk.

He whispered to me, "Tell your friend coming here that you already got a team then follow my general direction to not be suspicious"

My body responded to him without me even thinking.

I slowly approached Izuku who had lost his childlike demeanor and looked like your average hard thinker.

"Hey Jaden, I almost had a really good plan set up and I think you'd be great to cover for us to-"

"I already have a team" I felt my mouth rudely cut him off, "Listen, you are on your own this round"

With that my body spun around and walked away, leaving Izuku speechless.

The second I'm free he's going to get it.

I tried forcing my body to react in any way. I managed to twitch my figures and stop walking.

As I almost could walk I felt a force slam into me. Nothing physical, a mental body slam.

As I was reeling from whatever that was, I lost my grip on my body.

I felt pressure on my chest and it increased.

This-can't be good. Even-got breaks with my- thoughts.

I then felt like I was smacked on the back of the head, losing conciseness.

.

SKylah P.O.V

.

Something seemed...off. Jaden looked like he cut Izuku off and walked away strangely. It wasn't too noticeable but every movement seemed jerky like he was forcing himself to move.

The team he walked over to was interesting. Ojiro, some chubby guy from a different class and the purple-haired guy from earlier. HE seemed to be the leader of the group.

I had a bad feeling about this. It was mainly from Jaden's movements. He doesn't know this(At least I don't think he does), but I've been studying him just as much as Izuku. For a different reason, Izuku wanted to learn all about quirks due to his borderline obsession with them, and I want to learn about what kind of side effects it might have on him.

This quirk, spiked in power out of the blue. It was almost unnatural how much he unleashed from the start. I was just worried about what might happen to him. It may seem he has no limits but that is physically impossible for the human body. These quirks we have arent superpowers, just mutations that are only 1 step farther in the evolution line.

Why do you think people cant have more than one quirk? Our bodies can only handle one change at a time.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm happy he got a strong power and I'm not jealous, I just feel like it should have taken time for something like that to activate. More than just a year.

The sudden ability to create earthquakes to the scale he did as a child was strange, and I feel like someone had been pulling the strings. Now, when you think about it, if a child with an intense power like that showed up, adults would try to contain the child, watch it for hours, or even force the child to train under them but Jaden was able to live his life like a normal person.

We already know the physical impacts but I had a feeling there was some other price.

I raised my hand and pointed it at my brother, this should reveal something to me. I had a hunch that Jaden isn't exactly in control. Jaden is a very easy person to read once you know what to look for. If my brother inst in control of himself, he wouldn't dodge like he normally does.

Jaden is the type to make sure none of his movements are wasted, every single thing he does is for a reason.

The normal Jaden would normally, somehow sense my small beam and step out of the way. If he does anything else something is off.

I pointed my pointer finger at my brother. I felt so energized by the fact I get to hit him and the sun is out. I focused some of the sunlight seeping into me to my finger, creating a small ball of light, I made sure to line it up perfectly. With a small giggle, I shot the ball right at him.

The ball zoomed forward and right before it hit him, The purple-haired guy's eyes widened and a thin wall shot up next to Jaden. It narrowly protected my brother from the small ball of light. I looked over to the other side where Izuku was and he noticed as well.

He turned to me and we locked eyes over the distance.

Something is up with him, being careful is the safest plan We both seemed to think.

I leaned back into my chair, ready to blast Jaden in case something caused his quirk to spike but I heard someone call my name from behind me.

I looked over my shoulder and saw my mother calling me.

What does the witch want now?

The last time she called me or my brother like that, he had to go on a trip to America, sure he had a good time once he got there but he wanted to stay here for longer.

As if she could read my thoughts she yelled "SKYALH GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!"

I quickly scrambled over to her at the top of the seats.

"There. Is it that hard to listen to your mother?" She asked with a fake sweetness

"No ma'am," I said

"Someone wants to meet you outside" She explained

"Right now?" I asked "Can't it wait, its the middle of the festival"

"Yes right now, and what does it matter? You are already out of the activities" My mother asked me

I hung my head "No need to rub it in-I'll go, where are they?"

"Right outside"

I went outside and was greeted by a man in a suit.

"Hey, I heard you were looking for me" I called out to the man, "Don't you think you a bit old to be looking for little girls?" I asked

"If I was looking for little girls, to answer your question, I am. What I'm here for today is to offer you a once in a lifetime opportunity" THe man explained

"Hmm, sounds cool, makes me wonder what it is," I said tapping my finger against my cheek.

"Yes, I'm sure it does to a young lady such as yourself." He said pushing up his glasses. "I'm from a school in America, to offer you a place there."

My eyebrows shot up, "Wow, little ole me"

"Yes, 'little ole' you, our school is on a mission, we train people with light-based quirks, and from what we can see, you have skills with your quirk and want a chance to have you around similar quirks"

"Really? I kinda want to be a hero so UA is the best place is it not?"

"Well, yes. But our school is focused on quirks like yours, unlike UA. They give general training and sometimes special training but my school offers you anything you could want. We train light-based quirks to be whatever they want. You could be a hero, businesswoman, doctor, personal trainer, ranger, chef, baker, or anything else you can name"

I thought about it. This was tempting but there was one small tiny detail I was curious about.
"Isn't this school in America?"

"We are willing to pay for you to fly over and maybe even a room if you don't mind living alone"

They really want me to come huh?

"Well, that certainly is a once in a lifetime deal." I said, "I'll think about it. I'm pretty comfortable here and so far the school year besides that one attack is very good."

Out of the blue, I felt a massive shake.

"SHIT!" I yelled as I dashed into the festival place thingy again.

I ran to the railing and saw that Jaden was pinned down to the ground and the rest of his team shoved into the wall.

"Damn it" I cursed, I might have had a chance of stopping him. I frantically looked around, no one was hurt, and half of the area was destroyed or covered in spikes.

If only I had hurried it up.

.

Jaden P.O.V

.

I tried to open my eyes slowly. Everything felt heavy. Then like a bucket of cold water was slashed on my face my eyes snapped open as everything came back to me.

Fuck fuck fuck, this isn't good.

I saw I had my wrist trapped in stone and midnight was stepping on my chest(A.N. We all know that at least someone was doing things to that image in their head)

"Now, Jaden, are you ready to answer some questions?" Midnight asked me

"Sure" I struggled to get out. Not only did my body feel sore and heavy, but she was also blocking my air supply.

"Oh sorry about that," she said as she lifted her foot a bit.

BREATHEEEEEEEEEEEE

"Oh thank god," I said

I looked at what was binding my wrist. I looked at it and thought I should leave them on to stay out of trouble.

I then proceeded to shatter them.

Magnitude 0.1%

Then flicked the foot of my chest.

I sat up and saw my arms were covered in cracks.

I looked around at the damage.

That fucking prick!

He must have been able to feel how destructive I was. He failed to realize he couldn't control it without guidance or control.

Yet he got forced into using it to this extent.

"What happened?" I asked

"What do you mean?" Midnight asked me

"I don't know what happened, Everything is blank," I said clutching my head

"well towards the end, you went wild, unleashing this" she pointed around "And it was all anyone around you to try and stay alive"

I looked at the purple guy. Did he cause me to do this on accident or is he trying to get me kicked out before I could go against him? Maybe that's why he didn't stop me or did he lose control? Maybe he gave me a command and stopped focusing on me, therefore making it hard for him to command me to stop? I'm thinking about this far too much.

"The kid can't control himself, go figure after the stunts he pulled!" One male voice yelled at me

I gritted my teeth, "All those 'stunts' I pulled were-"

"An accident due to your lack of control, or are you just a monstrous freak!?" He cut me off, "DOn't you have any shame? Don't you have anything to say for yourself?!"

This son of a bitch cuts me off and has the nerve to say some shit like that.

I could feel an emotion boiling in my chest, one I hadn't felt in a long time. It was pure unbridled rage.

I slowly got up to my feet.

I heard Mr. Aizawa start to tell the guy off. "I got this teach"

I slowly walked forward as he threw more and more insults.

I didn't listen completely to him, I had my attention elsewhere. I had all my senses pointed at him. Making sure that he knew it.

I could hear a tremble in his voice. "Not so tough now that you have my undivided attention huh?" I asked him with a slight chuckle.

"Wh-what are you doing?" He asked as I used a pillar to put me over the small railing where he was sitting.

"Just coming over to talk. Isn't that what you wanted?" I asked softly

I stuck my hand up as I felt something streak past my cheek.

It was Skylah launching a small attack on the man. I blocked the small bit of light for him.

"What were you saying about no control? I'm pretty sure I just saved your face" I said now growling.

"I-uh"

"You're afraid. Typical. A real hero wouldn't be afraid of me. Hell, a real hero wouldn't talk so much shit about a newcomer that could be a vital part of the future of this world." I spat

"Your not one to talk! Your just a-"

"I'm just a what? A kid? A brat? A monster? Or maybe just someone who you decided to be a dick with?" I asked him.

Now I was face to face with the man.

"You sir, have no right to call yourself a hero."

"Jaden that's enough"

"No, it's not!" I yelled without turning around. "I'm tired of people treating me like some kind of freak for something I didn't even mean to do! This fucking world and its people get on my nerves."

I jabbed a finger into the man's chest in front of me. "People like you sit around and watch us like we are some kind of glorified gladiators, news flash" I widened my arms, "we are fucking 16, Children even."

"Why can't we all just take more tests to see what we can do? Hmm? Because you guys want a show."

"Well-"

"Well, what? This uncontrollable brat got a point?"

"I-"

"You won't stand for this? Hmm? Is that what you were going to say? That you're not going to take this disrespect any longer? Then get off your ass and do something."

I was still towering over the man. "You want my respect, earn it dipshit. I hate it when people throw their weight around when I know for a fact that I could a freaking heavyweight champion."

"You got some nerve kid" A new voice entered the fray

I turned around. "I got enough when I need it"

A chuckle. It was a large brown-skinned man with his hair shaved short and a small beard to go with it. "I think you've done a good enough job of scaring the man."

I turned back to the man who challenged me. He looked half ready to piss himself then pass out. "Your lucky, I would have challenged you to a fight for an excuse to legally kick your ass"

I started walking away. "Jaden, do better at controlling yourself." My teacher said into the mic.

"Yeah yeah, whatever. I'm on my man period or whatever. I'll go to Recovery Girl and give all the details I can"

I walked around destroying the pillars that were left behind.

By the time I was done, I was halfway through the story of what I remembered and my arms were dripping with blood.

"Here" My sister walked up behind me and threw me a towel.

"Thanks."

I opened the door and got some much-needed healing and bandaids.

Soon enough I was back outside, hearing the announcement for the next round.

I get it tournament style...Like I said.

I turned and saw all the girls in cheerleader outfits. "Skylah what the hell?"

"Turns out it was a prank but I'm going to rock with it." SHe said excitedly. Wait...is she even around to be down here?

As midnight was instructing the finalists, Ojiro spoke up. "Um excuse me. I'd like to withdraw"

I eyed him. He must have come to the same conclusion as me. It's most likely a pride thing right about now.

"Ojiro. No way!" Izuku gasped

"But this is a rare chance to get scouted" Lida pointed out

I placed a hand on the tailed boy's shoulder. I nodded to him to say I got this. "He's fully aware of that. It's his pride stopping him. He has no idea what happened in the last round and neither do I. His pride would make it feel unfair to him. He knows that everyone gave it their all but he was just a puppet. Just like me" My glare hit the purple-haired guy that took over my mind

The other guy stepped forward. "Shoda Nirengeki from clas 1-B. I think I should withdraw for the same reason." He glanced at his classmates. "Regardless of how strong I am, this isn't how I wanted to get here. It will be against the values of the festival to advance without earning my spot."

"Listen to these guys! They're so manly!"

"Well, another unexpected turn of events." Present Mic called out

Mr. Aisawa said something. I wasn't really listening. I was drilling a hole into the skull of the Mind Jacker.

When I started listening again I hear. "Oh, how that turns me on! Shoda! Ojiro! You're withdrawn"

Did I hear that right?

"Jaden would you like to withdraw for the same reason?" Midnight asked me

"No, I'm fairly sure that I'm the reason my team advanced so," I looked at the Mind Jacker again. "I'm in this until I lose. To make it fair, make me fight after everyone and earn a spot in the finals"

"Done!"

I patted Ojiro on the shoulder. "I won't go down easy. For you"

"Thanks, man."

"Then we should move 2 others up"

I toned them out again. I was wondering who I was going to fight. Will it be someone like Izuku? or someone like Bakugo? If I have to fight Bakugo my ride will be cut short.

Let's see, Izuku vs...great. Of course, Izuku gets to fight the Jackass. Ojiro and I exchanged a look.

I grabbed Izuku by the shoulder. "Get over here. You need to know something."

Soon enough, Izuku, Ojiro, and I were all sitting around a table.

Izuku's face indicated he was deep in thought. So deep, that he wasn't mumbling.

"Izuku, look at me" He hesitantly looked me in the face.

"Listen, man, I have a feeling you're not going to listen to me or Ojiro here. He's going to say something that will make you break. I'll let you know something. I was almost able to break free. Now in the end I don't know if he let me go or I broke out but he had to use force on me. What my point is, you will find some way to pull through"

"Jaden...thank you" Ah he got a stupid blush on my face. Why is he embarrassed now of all times?

I lightly hit him on the head. "Go get em, killer"

.

After the obvious, not killing, bring on the injuries, how to win, Recovery girl being on standby, and all that crap. Izuku was going to face Shinsou Hitoshi. I heard some bickering in the stand as Ojiro and I (almost comically) leaned forward in our seats.

Soon enough the fucking tard yelled.

"Don't you talk about them that way!" Izuku yelled as he started to charge but froze in place.

"What the hell's Deku playing at?" Katsuki grumbled

"We warned him not to say anything!" Ojiro moaned

"Huh?! Hey, hey, what's the dealio?" Present Mic wondered as he watched the two teenagers standstill. "This is the first match! It should start with a bang! The fight had just begun and Izuku Midoriya is...completely frozen?"

Izuku turned around and started jerkily walking over to the boundary line

Everyone started calling out to him, saying a bunch of things. Everyone but Katsuki and I was screaming for him to break out of the trance.

"Guys...SHUT THE HELL UP" I yelled at them. "All your doing is hurting my ears. He can't hear us. There is one thing that might break through to him but right now, that person isn't on hand."

Everyone stopped yelling and looked at me. Katsuki spoke up. "He might be weak but he's annoyingly smart"

I then noticed something. "Well, would you look at that? Everyone look at his hand."

He seemed to be trying to force himself to snap. Then his walking ceased and then a wave of energy shot from his body. His body lurched and he started gasping for air. He turned to face his opponent one more time.

"He stopped in the nick of time," I said as most of class 1-A erupted into cheers.

"What's this? Midoriya stopped just in time!" Present Mic screeched much to the dismay of my ears.

As everyone was showing their relief that he was able to break free, I pointed something out to everyone. "He broke his fingers to break the hold"

"Oh"

I looked at them, Shinso was screaming about how it was impossible and asking how he broke out.

"This match is as good as done" I stated blandly. I just hope I don't have to fight Izuku, that would be a pain in more ways than one.

Izuku grabbed the shoulders of the purple-haired boy and started shoving him across to the boundary line. Shinso punched Izuku across the face trying to pull a reaction out of the green-haired one but Izuku still, said nothing.

Shinso got a good hit on Izukus's hand and he let go but Izuku grasped Shinso's arm and flung him over his shoulder, ending the fight.

More teachers speaking yada yada, Izuku won.

Todoroki's match against Sero was...fast to say the least. Todoroki went a bit overkill with the ice.

Denki vs vine girl was also over in two seconds. Like he said. He really should have thought that out a bit more. He had no way to guaranty that his voltage would hit her.

Lida vs Mei was also embarrassing but not in the way you would expect. The pink-haired girl only wanted to show off her "babies". I will admit that there are some good ones but poor Lida was turned into a fast-running ad.

Mina Vs Sparkles was also quick. Mina just melted the belt and landed a nasty uppercut on our resident cheese dispenser.

Tokoyami beat Momo pretty easily. That might be a blow to her confidence though by how easily she was beaten

Next was Bakugo vs Ochako. I overheard Ochako refusing to take any sort of plan fromIzuku, saying that she could win it on her own.

How this fight started was, Ochako rushing at Bakugo, him blowing her up and her getting back up to do it again.

I noticed she was constantly going low. I looked up and saw something that would be bad for Bakugo unless he pulled out the big stuff.

I must say, she's smarter than she looks.

Some of the pros were only looking at the two on the ground and not above and they started insulting him, telling Bakugo to just finish it.

Mr. Aizawa took the Mic from the loud-mouthed idiot. "Where is the man that started this? Are you a pro? Because if you're being serious, you can go home and hang your up cape. I'd suggest you look into another career "

"Do you know what he's talking about?" Izuku asked me.

"Yeah, just wait." I hushed him

"Bakugos fierceness is an acknowledgment of his opponent's strength" The teacher of class 1-A announced. "He knows she deserves to have made it this far, so he's doing whatever it takes to keep her at bay and come out on top"

"I think it's about time," Ochako called out, startling her blond opponent. "Thank you, Bakugo...for keeping your eyes focused on me!"

"What?"

She touched her fingers together and a loud rumble came from above. Everyone looked up to see chunks of concrete start to fall.

"A meteor shower?!"

"Now you notice?" Mr. Aizawa deadpanned

"Hey, she had a plan all along!" Izuku cried out happily

I saw Bakugo start to lower himself and brace his arm while grabbing his wrist, which was pointed to the center of the storm.

Ochako failed to notice this.

"Fuck...So does Katsuki"

A massive shockwave erupted from his palm, so intense it melted all of what was meant to fall on him.

I noticed his left hand was steaming. So maybe he does have a weakness after all. I doubt he's unscathed as our loud bird said.

Quirks are not superpowers, their human abilities are like muscles.

He might have broken his wrist, based on how he had braced himself. Must have been the recoil.

I pretended not to notice when Ochako hit the ground. She wasted all of her energy with that final attack.

Fuck I'm up next.

As I waited I heard our announcer calling into the Mic. "Hey-o everybody! Due to some unexpected turn of events, we have one extra finalist."

I was approaching the arena. "You all know him, the earth-shaking master himself, who made his debut a bit before school started and already made the stadium shake! Jaden from Class 1-A!"

Unlike some of my other classmates, there was no cheering for me. I noticed a certain blackbird head on the other side. Fuck I wanted to see how he would do.

"In his first match, he won with swift avian moves, also from the hero course, Tokoyami Fumikage"

"READY! START"

We both stayed still as we watched each other.

We both knew that this fight wouldn't be easy. We both fight in different places. What Tokoyami has seen of my fights is up close and personal but he lets Dark shadow take things on from a distance, leaving him weak much closer to his body.

Dark shadow materialized and lunged at me causing me to doge to the right side. As he came back around, I sent a blast of magnitude into the shadow's face, sending it back.

"Oh with Jadens swift reflexes he managed to push dark shadow back! But can he win this simply by avoiding Dark Shadow?"

That's impossible. This is not a person you want a drawn-out fight with.

I stomped my foot down, "Earth Pillar", I slammed my hand against it, "Magnitude 5%". The pillar shattered into dust, spreading around the fighting area.

.

Thrid person P.O.V

"What's this? Jaden is using his quirk to hide himself and the rest of the fight!"

Bakugo leaned forward. "So the nerd is hiding himself and his fighting style. Not bad."

A loud grunt sounded out from the now dissipating sand cloud. Tokoyami shot out of the arena, hitting the wall.

"And Jaden's wins a nice victory against Tokoyami, well folks that was interesting to watch, what else does this student have up his sleeves."

"The nerd is smarter than he looks" Bakugo grunted to himself

"Wow! I knew Jaden was capable but I didn't expect him to win so easily" Izuku called happily

"Yeah, my brother loves to surprise people," Skylah said as she came from nowhere.

"What else can Jaden do?" Ochako asked

"I don't even know, he keeps a lot under wraps"

Skylah started to walk away and Izuku rushed after her. Next match is Izuku Vs Shoto

Imma cut it there. A bit longer than normal but that's due to my loooooong break. let me know what cha thought and have a nice rest of your day.
