Chapter 8: New Friends, Same Enemies, and Old Tests. Part. 2
Last Time
And that is how three of the greatest and the most powerful hero team of the future made one of the most awkward and craziest entrances into U.A grounds and in its history, but that was only the begging of the story.
Now
After their little 'performance' at the front of the school grounds entrance way, Ko and Izuku eventually found Hikari standing 'patiently' by the autoridum door way, tapping his foot rapidly like he does when he annoyed or bored. Once they all caught up they made their way to their assigned seats.
When they entered they were immediately swamped into the immense amounts of people sitting in such a huge area and all the chatter from everyone taking. Unfortunately the school had put them into seating arrangements by which school they came from. So Izuku, Ko, Hikari, and Bakugou has to sit together. However this problem was quickly fixed as Ko and Hikari sat between Izuku in both sides.
Now the teens were sitting in order with; Hikari on Izuku's right side with feet propped up on the back of another seat while snoozing away to regain his energy. Izuku in the center muttering and writing in his new hero notebook at unmatched speeds. And finally Ko sitting at Izuku's left while flicking his coin and glaring at Bakugou. Who sat at the far left of Izuku glaring back at Ko.
Suddenly all the chatter was quickly cut off by a voice so loud it sounded like it was coming from five different microphones. "HEY HEY HEY THEIR LISTENERS! CAN I GET YOUR FULL ATTENTION CENTER STAGE!"
The man was quite interesting to say the least, he was dressed up just like a rapper. Black leather jacket with red inside, black leather pants, a belt, fingerless gloves, and boots. An unusual neck brace with speakers built into it, and orange shades on his face. His blond hair was very long and done up like a cockatoos crest with a small mustache.
Izuku immediately started to sparkle with fanboy overflow as he realized who this was.
"OMG! It's Present Mic! He's a top pro hero and has his own radio show! I listen to it every morning at 7 and blah, blah, blah.", Izuku ranted on in a mutter.
"I know Izuku, you make me listen to him everyday with you. Ya don't have to give us a daily life recap.", Ko groaned.
All the shouting from Present Mic actually woke up Hikari from his deep sleep, the teens snot bubble popped and waking with a startle he asked half dazed, "Are they talking about the important part?
"No.", Ko stated blandly.
"Okay, wake me up when I should care.", and with that Hikari fell right back to sleep.
"I WANNA FEEL YOU LITTLE LISTENERS ENERGY! SO LET ME HEAR YA SAY YEAH!", Present Mic screamed!
Izuku immediately erupted from his seat and sounded off a loud and enthusiastic, "YEAH!"
Ko stood up and also gave a not as loud or enthusiastic, "Yeah!"
Hikari immediately woke up from his nap and for some reason knew exactly knew what was going on as he shot up from his seat and sounded off an even louder and more enthusiastic, "YEAH MIC DADDY! WHOO!"
Though no one else besides them shouted out leaving the three teens in a sea of silence. The three of them sat back down knowing no one else would join and Izuku felt better at the fact his friends shouted with him and he didn't act on impulse alone.
Ko then turned to Hikari and whispered in question, "Mic daddy?"
Hikari gave him a seductive grin as he replied, "Don't pretend you haven't thought of it before."
Ko just started back at him with a deadpan expression while replying, "No, no I haven't."
Back at the stage Present Mic dropped his hand from his ear and pointing to the group of three he shouted, "I LIKE YOU'RE ENERGY LISTENERS! YOU ALL COULD TAKE A LESSON FROM THOSE THREE! ANYWAY, MOVING FORWARD! FROM HERE I'LL EXPLAIN THE RULES OF THE GAME!"
Present Mic then quickly explained the rules of the next test, which was actually pretty straight forward. Three different robots, of three different designs, and difficulties, for a total of 1-3 points after being destroyed. Get the required amount and you pass, don't and you either fail or are placed in General Ed.
Before Present Mic could conclude his presentation someone from the audience raised their hand to gain his attention and Present Mic pointed to the person to ask away. Ko quickly stole a glance at the person who was asking the question, and even though it was dark, he could clearly see what this person was like just from his looks alone.
He was a teen like the three boys and pretty tall, taller than Izuku and himself but shorter then Hikari. He wore a different uniform form them, had glasses, and blue hair that was cut similar to Ko's expect his wasn't a fohawk. He held a very serious expression with an upright posture that showed forced dominance.
Ko signed exacerbated as he quickly realized that this guy was a stick up his ass, stiff, yes man, all rules and no play, teachers pet. He quickly decided to tune him authoritative voice out in order to save himself the aggravation of listening to him, and instead decided to focus on his coin flipping.
"It has come to my attention that you said there would be three robots when the pamphlet states there are four! If this is an error on U.A's part then this a complete and utter stain for such a pristine and highly regarded school! Especially for such a simple mistake!", the serious teen ranted on annoyingly.
Ko growled under his breath at not being able to shut out his loud mouth and angrily rolled his coin across his fingers while trying to focus on Hikari loud snoring.
"THATS A GOOD QUESTION LITTLE LISTENER! AND YES YOU ARE RIGHT IN SAYING THERE ARE FOUR ROBOTS! BUT THIS ONE IS MORE OF AN OBSTACLE AND SHOULD BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS! EVEN IF YOU DID DESTROY IT THEN YOU'D ONLY GET ZERO POINTS!", Present Mic explained loudly.
"And as for you three!", the teen suddenly shouted out into the crowd.
Ko then got a very familiar chill run down his spine, a chill he gets only when Bakugou shoots his mouth off. Mostly directed towards them, so he prayed that he wasn't referring to them.
"Yes you three, the boy with the green hair, the sleeping one, and the boy with the yellow mokhalk.", he pointed to them directly.
Fuck…..
"I find your constant muttering, imploite snoozing, and flicking of that coin you have extremely annoying and disrespectful! If you think you can get away with such things, especially as a hero, then I suggest you three leave!", the teen demanded them.
Izuku immediately sank down in his seat and tried to cover his face with his arms in excitement, especially when a few snickering and giggles emerged from some nearby people. Hikari on the other hand was still fast asleep and snoring just as loud. Ko was already far past his tolerance limit for this guy! He could be a goody two shoes elite all he wanted. Blowing hot air from his mouth all day for all he cared, but once he blew it at him and his friends, then it meant war!
Ko then pointed his arm towards the teen and flicked his coin off his thumb, the coin sailed through the air and hit directly in the center of the teens forehead!
"OW!", the teen cried out in pain as he fell from his seat, earning a few laughs at his expense!
The coin reflected off the teens head where it flew into the air, struck a rafter, and landed into Ko's open hand!
Ko then flick the coin once and exclaimed in a loud tone to the whole auditorium, "Listen up here four eyes and the rest of you wannabe heroes! I'm going to say this once and only once so listen close!"
The teen stood back up rubbing his red forehead and the whole auditorium went dead silent giving their full attention to the golden haired flicked the coin once more, rolled it along his fingers before continuing.
"Hero work is NOT easy work!", the whole auditorium looked at him like he just grew a second head.
"What? Did you all really expect you we're gonna come on here, take some lack luster test and then join this school. So you could, what, wear colorful tights with a catchy name, and beat on bad guys to get easy access to fame, fortune, and recognition? Psh! You must be joking. Hero work is romanticized by the media in order for them to capitalize upon and gain recognition from said heroes.", Ko rolled his coin once more before continuing.
"A hero's job is hard, grueling, unexpected, dangerous, and in many cases thankless work. A single hero alone is expected to perform his or her duty far more fluidly and more morally outstanding than the police or military. Having to shoulder a burden that no person should ever have to.", Izuku looked up from his hiding hole at his friends powerful words and couldn't help but feel inspired by them.
"And on your previous point, four eyes, about my friends sleeping, muttering, and me flicking my coin; hero's have to deal with 'annoying' things all the time. Hero's have to deal with that on a daily basis; screaming rabid fans, wailing sirens and highly light beams from police and the fire department, hordes of people in panic, crying children, people begging for help, explosions, powerful quirks that can destroy streets and even topple buildings, the shouts and moans of injured people, curses and names begging spat at by protesters if the hero's messes up even once. A hero's job is always full of annoyances.", Ko continued on before taking a breather and looking towards the glasses teen.
"So if something as simple as what we're doing drives you off the edge, then I suggest that you leave this auditorium and highly rethink your career choices. Because it's apparent that hero work is not the job for you, and that goes for the rest of you. If anything of what I said doesn't sound like you're ideal life choice then leave!", Ko firmly instructed before flipping a coin in the air and having it land on tails in the palm of his hand.
The tall glasses teen stood there with his mouth wide-open unable to say anything in rebuttal. Eventually he gave up trying to say anything and quietly sat back into his seat mouth closed, leaning his head down in self disappointment and embarrassment. Upon seeing him submit Ko relaxed his nerves and went back to doing coin tricks with pride spread across his face.
After a moment of extremely uncomfortable silence Present Mic broke the atmosphere shouting, "THANK YOU LISTENER 9944 FOR THAT AMAZING SPEECH! BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS LISTENERS HE'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ON ALL ACCOUNTS! HERO WORK IS NEVER FUN AND GAMES, THAT'S ONLY WHAT THE MEDIA WANTS YOU TO THINK! I MIGHT SEEM LIKE A HAPPY-GO-LUCKY KINDA GUY, BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU MY JOB CAN AND IS VERY STRESSFUL! I ONLY GET THROUGH IT WITH A POSITIVE ATTITUDE I HAVE ON ME ALL THE TIME! NOW IF ANY OF YOU SEE ANY PROBLEM WITH WHAT HE SAID THEN I FULL HEARTEDLY AGREE IN ASKING YOU TO LEAVE!"
Within moments the entire auditorium exploded with nearly half of the students getting up from their seats and silently muttering as they all migrated out of the area and off the schools property. To say Present Mic was shocked would be an understatement, sure he expected a few people to get up and leave, but never half of the crowd! The only thing he thought was Shota absolutely eating this scene up from backstage.
Low and behold Present Mic has no idea how right he was! Behind the huge curtains were several pro hero's who were also UA staff. One of them was a man in his early to mid 30s, he wore black everything right down to his socks and undies, and a white scarf wrapped multiple times around his neck. His black hair was long and unkempt, skin very pale from little sun exposure, and his dark eyes heavy from obvious lack of sleep with rings and heavy bags. He normally wore an extremely passive deadpanned expression most times, but right now he was shooting off one of his rare and extremely unsettling smiles.
Another associate and close friend of his stood next to him with an unsettled expression at her friends smile. Her skin even quivered with fear the longer she started at it. She too was in her early to mid 30s, she wore an S&M get up complete with handcuffs, ultra thin white bodysuit, heels, and glasses that looked like a mask. She had long black hair that reached her back that was style in a wild sexy fashion with a whip at her hip.
"You know Shota I know Yamada loves your smile, but I literally can't look at it and not get creeped out. So could you please go back to you're normal expression.", she asked her friend as nicely as she could.
"Nemuri, do you know why I'm smiling?", Her friend, Shota, asked.
Nermuri only looked at him strangely before looking back at the emptying auditorium and replying, "Because that kid with the golden fohawk literally just weeded out the weak for us?"
"No it's because I won't have to evaluate all those brats in two weeks, and that means more time for sleep.", Shota stayed with a hint of joy in his voice.
Nemuri sweat dropped at his answer, though she wasn't totally surprised. If there's one thing Shota loves more than coffee and cats, it was sleep and not dealing with kids.
She sighed and placed her glasses atop her head as she stated, "Oh Shota, I shouldn't be surprised."
Shota only kept grinning at the holy sight of the auditorium going from population of the thousands to the hundreds.
Once all peace had settled back into the mostly empty room Present Mic told the remains people to look at the card they were given and go to the testing sights with the same letter on it. As soon as the remaining people left Ko, Izuku, and Hikari all looked at their papers and saw each of them was assigned to a different testing sight. Izuku figures it would be so people from the same school wouldn't team up with friends. Which was exactly what they had previously planned to do. So with begrudging sighs and moans of disappointment, the three teens went off to change into some more appropriate attire and moved to their assigned testing sights.
Izuku got to his testing sight, in his black fireproof tracksuit and shoes, and saw that despite many people leaving it was still heavily packed. He looked around enamored to see all the people around him with so many different quirks! Izuku wanted to study them all and record them in his notebook, but alas, he couldn't in this situation. As he looked around he saw some people looked nervous, some looked calm and collected, some prideful, and then there were the unreadable ones. He gazed at the crowd until his eyes fell upon a very familiar face of pink cheeks, brown hair in a bob cut, and big brown eyes that held an air of anxiousness to them. It was the girl he met earlier...what was her name again?
Ochako Uraraka? Yeah that sounds about right.
Izuku decided to go and talk with her hoping to help dissuade her nerves. He walked past the not-so thick group of people and was almost within shouting distance when a large and firm hand grabbed his shoulder.
"Excuse me!", a very firm and yet very familiar voice called to him.
Izuku turned around only to see someone's chest instead of a face, he looked, though not a far with Hikari, and saw the glared glasses and displeased face of the blue haired teen that called him out earlier. Almost immediately Izuku's good feeling and smile faded at seeing him in person.
"What are you trying to do with that girl?!", he firmly demanded!
'Do what?', he asked himself like it was a question about Nuclear physics.
The teen adjusted his glasses and continued saying, "Can you not see that she is clearly nervous! If you are planning on ruining her chances of acceptance by jostling her then I expect you to leave at once!"
The teen was almost shouting loud enough for the whole area to hear, and with so few people it echoed off the walls quite easily. For a moment Izuku was at a loss for both words and feeling, though both quickly returned after his inner fire flared up. By now Izuku was pretty fed up with this guy, first he singles him out and embarrass him in front of a whole audience, and now he does it again and accused him of something he wouldn't do!
Izuku dropped his head down with a shadow casting his face, his fists tight, as he softly said, "shut up."
"What?", asked the teen. "If you have some sort of lack luster excuse then say it now!", he demanded.
"SHUT UP!", Izuku screamed in his face while his hair flared up in sparks! He jammed an accusing finger in his face and exclaimed, "Look man, I don't know who you are or what you're problem is with me, but lay off! Just because I did something that set you off, doesn't mean you have me pegged as some kind of delinquent! And as for the girl, I wasn't trying to starch her chances, I knew her from earlier today and I just wanted to calm her nerves! So just leave me alone!", Izuku finished off his rant while breathing heavily from lack of air.
The teen stood away from him with a concerned look and pointing to him he said, "Fire."
"What?", Izuku questioned while calming down a bit.
"You're hair, it's on fire.", he continued while pointing to his head.
Izuku touched his head and quickly noticed it was completely engulfed in his green flame. He willed his fire back inside and his hair return to normal. Back when Izuku was still experimenting with his new natural quirk he found out his power affected his emotions to a varying degree, making him more 'heated' then usual. Though Izuku has learned to control this it does occasionally slip out from time to time.
Izuku really didn't want it going this way, especially on the entrance exam and in front of so many people, now whispering to one another about what they saw. He sighed and once Izuku was sure his point was clear he turned away from the baffled teen and continuing to walk towards Uraraka.
Meanwhile in a different testing sight; Ko was standing idly by in a corner minding his own business in the quiet of his thoughts while flicking his coin, when all of a sudden he sneezed so hard! So hard in fact that he dropped his coin, which he never does!
Ko heavily sniffled back the snot trying to escape his nose while saying to himself, "Why are my 'Someone is being a dick to Izuku' senses are tingling?"
Meanwhile in another different testing sight Hikari was standing amongst a crowd of noisy people while he happily sat down on a beam while rapidly tapping his hands on his lap, when suddenly he stopped tapping as an unusual feeling came across him.
He sat in the unusual feeling for a minute before audible saying, "Hmmm, I don't know why but all of a sudden I feel like kicking someone into the stratosphere?"
Upon hearing what he said aloud, several people sitting or standing next to him inched away or screamed altogether.
Back to Izuku, he walked or marched up to Uraraka in a heated huff which set the girl a bit off making her more nervous. Izuku saw this immediately calmed down, he rubbed his head awkwardly as he asked, "How much of that did you see?"
Uraraka laughed felt as she replied, "Oh you know ...all of it."
Izuku sighed in exasperation and apologized, saying, "I'm real sorry you had to see me like that, my quirk makes me hot under the collar at times."
Uraraka waved it off with rapid hands while replying, "No no no! It's not your fault I'm sure anyone would've done what you did after what that glasses guy did. Minus the whole fire hair thing. It was a pretty dick move on his part for pushing you to that."
They both gave off an awkwardly dry laugh which made Izuku at least feeling a bit better knowing she didn't think he was some kind of two faced fire demon.
"But I gotta admit the fire was really cool if not a bit scary.", Uraraka changed the subject with a smile. "Can you only ignite your hair, what about controlling it, what is your quirk anyway."
Man, was this what he sounds like? Cause the way Uraraka does it is kinda cute.
Izuku giggles and says, "I can ignite my whole body, control any fire I create, and even fly, and my quirk is called Omni Flame."
Uraraka's eyes sparkle with amazement at his quirks description, which made him heat up a bit, she bounced up and down excitedly exclaiming, "That is the coolest quirk ever! Fire and you can fly, that's amazing! My quirk, Zero Gravity, can only made me float or glided. But the downside is I get really nauseous real quick.", Uraraka explains her quirk with a bit of embarrassment.
Izuku smiles and says, "That's actually really cool! With the ability to control gravity who knows what you're really capable of? And I feel you pain as well, my flames need a fuel source to stay strong. So I need to eat a lot or my flames weaken."
Izuku really wanted to stay here and talk more with Uraraka but the 5 minute warning buzzer sounded off and garnering everyone's attention.
Izuku sighed and said, "Well looks like that's over. I should probably go and warm up a bit before we start."
"Yeah same here. Thanks for the talk Midori-kun I actually feel a lot better."
"You're welcome and good luck."
"You too."
With that Izuku moved to a secluded spot where he could warm up his body before combat. After stretching and a few light exercises he was ready! He got to the front and got into a running stance, everyone else around him look on wondering what he was doing. Izuku paid no mind as he focused on the task ahead.
Suddenly the huge doors opened wide flooding sunlight into the area! Izuku shielded his eyes from the glare and when his eyes adjusted he ignited his body and took off like a rocket through the air and out the door, leaving everyone else in the dust! From behind him he could just barely make out Present Mic voice on the loudspeaker yelling at the other consents to start! Immediately and entire flood of teens all charged out of the door and into the mock city to hunt down robots!
Izuku flew over head looking for any robot he could find to start his point collection, then from the corner of his eye he saw a wandering three pointer. Izuku flew down towards the robot and creating a fireball he prepared to destroy the machine in one hit! However he was interrupted but the shrill sound of someone's scream! Izuku spun his head and saw a male teen being slowly crushed by a one pointer with its metal hand claws.
"Un hand me! Let me go! Someone help!", he cried out as the one pointer continued to squeeze him further.
WIthout even thinking Izuku flew over to the one pointer and sliced through it arms with his flam covered arm! The teen fell to the ground and quickly shimmed out of the claws, but the one pointer wasn't done yet, as it raised its foot over the escaping teen ready to squish him. Though it never got the chance as its body exploded from a green fireball hitting its head and exploding! Izuku touched down from the air and help remove the rubble from the teen.
"Thanks for that, I thought I was a goner.", the teen thanked him out of breath.
"No problem, I gotta go get some points. Be safe and don't get caught again!", Izuku commented while flying off.
"Thanks and you too.", the teen called out to him.
Izuku flew away and looked out on the scene for any robots, as he looked around he saw that the rest of the participants were in full swing battle mode destroying robots left and right! This worried Izuku as he still hasn't gotten any point and he has the advantage in many regards. He craned his head around and saw a nearby 2 pointer. Izuku took his chance and quickly dashed over to the robot, he turned his heat up to max and prepared to crash his way through the robots body. Though another scream stopped him from colliding with the machine as he saw another person getting pinned by a robot.
The person, a girl, was somehow stuck to the robot's body and was violently thrashing around trying to shake her off or squish her against a wall! Izuku changed direction and immediately crashes through the robot creating a huge whole in it! The robot fell over with a CRASH and the girl landing safely on its body, even with her hands stuck.
Izuku flew to the girl, absorbing his fire again, and asked, "You okay?"
The girl grunted as she pulled with all her might. "NO! My hands are stuck!", the girl shouted in stressful fear!
Upon closer inspection Izuku saw that she was very unique looking. She had pink skin and hair with yellow eyes and black sulara, and small horns poking out of her mane of frizzy hair. Izuku snapped himself out of his examination and asked her, "How would this happen?"
"My quirk is called Acid, pretty straight forward on what it does, I did want to over exert myself so I kept the PH at a lower level. Though I didn't know the metal of the robots were able to have this sticky effect with my quirk when exposed to air.", she quickly explained.
Izuku thought quickly for a way to free her, her using her own quirk was out of the picture since her hand were insulated. Then it clicked in his head both the acid and metal had chemical compounds in them, so heating them up should help losses it.
"I think I have an idea, but I need you to trust me.", the girl nodded and braced herself for what's to come.
Izuku then ignited his hands and placed them around the area her hand were stuck. He slowly let heat into the meat causing it to increase in temperature. Luckily he didn't have to put too much heat on as the metal began to perspire and become more liquid. The girl was able to wiggle her hands and told Izuku to stand back.
Izuku stepped aside and the girl produced acid so strong a third of the area was melted into a bubbling mess.
The girl jumped for joy at finally being free and having a chance to keep going, Izuku anxiously looked around for more robots and ignite his body and took off while saying, "I gotta go, good luck!"
"Thanks again fire guy!", she called out to him while waving her arms in the air!
Luckily this time Izuku didn't have to look far for another robot as he saw three 3 pointers working in a cstrigic group. He went to accelerate towards the machines when he heard another cry of help! Izuku stopped and looked between the robots and the person in peril. He moaned in frustration and letting out a yell he rocketed towards the person in peril leaving the 3 pointer behind!
This little trend continued on for the rest of the test for poor Izuku.
Meanwhile with Hikari, the speed teen was having the time of his life running around the huge mock city at his top speed with no one yelling at him to slow down! His tongue out and flapping behind him like a dog in a car, and his body racing with adrenaline from all the excitement! Every time he passed by someone they would only view an electric green steak race by them, if they didn't blink that is.
Hikari would run up to a robot and strike its legs with a devastating kick that would knock it down in a heap, rip out wire from all over its body making it short circuit, and vibrate his hand through the machines head part and make it malfunction. Within minutes Hikari had emasted an incredible amount of points for such a short time!
He got his most points when he ran past a group of fleeing contests running for their lives from a whole whorde of 3 pointers! Though Hikari saw this as an exciting opportunity and went for it kicking up his speed! He vibrates his hands and zoomed between every robot shoving his arms deep in their head area before they could even notice and then moving to the next one!
The whole thing only took Hikari seconds to complete and when he appeared from behind the group of 3 pointers he stopped and shouted at the top of his lungs, "I AM AN INVISIBLE UNICORN!"
And all being the speed teen the robots stopped in their place and fell to the ground in a huge heaps completely spazzing from malfountion! Everyone else looked on in amazement, fear, and aggravation as Hikari did steal all those points for himself.
Meanwhile with Ko, the lucky teen was moseying along the course with little care as he flicked his coin around while whistling a happy tune. He didn't even need to go find the robots, they all just came to hi in droves like they were attracted to him. Ko wouldn't even flinch at the mechanical monsteraties charging at him from all sides, he'd just stand there and smile as he waited for the perfect moment to strike.
He'd reach his arm out towards the closets robot and flick his coin off his finger causing it to either cause a chain of events that would smash the robot for him or go into the robot itself and destroy it from the inside, with the coin coming out in one piece. He'd repeat this several times before he move to the next place to find more machines to break.
Once he turned a corner he found himself in an open area occupied by over several dozen 3 pointers. The robots sensors detected him nearby and began to charge at him with weapons drawn! Ko stood their completely unfazed and cool as ice, he flicked his coin some more still eating for the right time to strike.
The 3 pointers were now a few hundred yards away from him and that's when he put his counter attack into motion! He extended his arm out once more and concentrating on the closest three pointer he whispered softly, "Lucky Shot."
He flicked the coin from his thumb and watched as it soared through the air and entered a space in the robots armor. Nothing happened for a moment until the robot suddenly fell to the ground in a twitching mess!
The coin had found its way into the robots central wiring, and being made of gold, caused the electric circuit to fry causing the internal framework to implode on itself. Then the coin shot out from the first robot and into the nearest one causing the same thing over and over. This trend repeated until all several dozen robots lay on the ground in giant heaps of themselves, twitching like a stroke victim!
Ko turned away and walked far enough before all the robots exploded one by one, leaving Ko to walk away in a badass explosion scene! The coin flew through the air and into Ko's open hand where he rolled the coin off his fingers and down his arm.
"Lucky.", he said as the coin rolled down his back into the opposite palm.
"Lucky.", he continued while flipping the coin off his opposite thumb.
"Me.", he finishes while catching the coin and holding it between his fingers with the heads side facing towards the crowds.
The crowd looked on at the golden haired teen with a gloating expression and a prideful chuckle making him look full of himself. Everyone couldn't help but stop in place and stare in awe, fear, and amazement of the teen who did something completely unnatural, even for quirk standards! All the teen wondered in their minds if the guy with the golden foehalk and shit-eating-grin was some kind of Demigod, cause only an ethereal being could do what he just did.
Back with Izuku, the flaming teen had finally found some luck after saving well over a dozen people from robots. While flying low through the city he stumbled upon three 2 pointers waiting around a corner. Izuku's face twisted in a huge smile at finally being able to rack up some points and stopped mid air while concentrating a fire ball to throw at each of them.
Though just before he could blast them in a fiery explosion a laser, of all things, shot right under his legs spooking him and making him fly up to evade! The laser curved around and blasted the three 2 pointers into rubble! Izuku looked on in shock seeing his kills get stolen literally right from under him! He whipped his head around and saw the smug smiling face of a very shiny, flamboyant, blond teen with blue eyes, and an unusual belt encompassing his stomach that housed in a usual stone.
The teen winked flamboyantly and said in a foreign accent, "Merci gentiment monsieur.", with that he left, leaving a trail of sparkles in his wake.
Izuku's flames in increased with his rising anger as he shouted, "Sparkly jerk!"
Izuku huffed out an angry breath and went off to find more robots before time ended. Just before he got too far he immediately noticed that the buildings next to him were shaking slightly every now and again. Pretty soon he saw the same thing with the people on the ground as the waking grew closer and faster in cadence!
He saw that everyone was looking and pointing behind where Izuku was and before he could turn a shadow suddenly fell over him.
Izuku turned around mid flight and saw the highest hugeness of the enormous and terrifying Zero pointer! Whatever Present Mic said about it back at the auditorium was nothing in comparison to the real thing! To say it was big would be an understatement, this thing towered over buildings like they were building blocks! This thing could star in its own kaji movie, hell it could go face to face with the Godzilla!
Izuku turned back around and with the rest of the fleeing students he took off at great speeds to get as far away as possible! If what was said about the Zero pointer was true then he has to cover as much ground as possible, cause just from looking at that thing said it was nearly impossible to destroy!
Just before he could get ahead of the fleeing students he heard a shrill scream pounded against his ears! He stopped in place and spun his head around to the source. He looked around and saw a human form struggling under some debris. He strained his eyes to see who was trapped under it and saw the panicked expression of Uraraka pounding against the metal with her bare fists!
Izuku was so shocked at seeing her trapped that he froze in place, though he was quickly snapped out of the trance when Uraraka let out another horrible scream! The Zero Pointers huge feet created creators as it walked and was moving straight into her path! Uraraka covered her eyes and screamed again as the foot inches closer to sterling on her!
Izuku ground his teeth, clenched his fists and will One for All through his whole body! This time when Izuku took off his speed increased ten fold, flying at well over 200 miles per hour! He focused on just getting to Uraraka before the robots foot did first!
Uraraka screamed till she couldn't any more, swing the Zero Pointers foot looming over her she covered her eyes and waited for the giants foot to crash down and flatten her into plaster! But after a while no crush sensation filled her body. Instead she felt very warm, very very warm, like she was standing right next to a furnace in a sauna in summer. She opened her eyes and standing right in front of her was Izuku completely engulfed in green flames holding back the Zero Pointers foot from crushing her!
Izuku made it just in time before the Zero pointer dropped its foot on Uraraka! He stood under the foot and channeling One for All into his arms he held the huge foot back! As a by product Izuku's heat levels were quickly increasing to the point the ground and Zero Pointers foot were beginning to melt! With one great heave he pushed back on the foot with all he had! The Zero Pointer fumbled backwards nearly crashing into several buildings along the way, but it was just quick enough to catch its own footing before it fell.
Izuku then shot up into the air and flew straight up to the robots face. He concentrated fire in his hands with All for One and began raining down a hailstorm of superpowered fire right into the robot! The Zero pointer tried to swat at Izuku like a bug, but Izuku speed(with or without One for All) was far superior to the lumbering metal giant!
Izuku would simply change directions and begin hailing down even more fire! Though no matter how many he threw the robots shell was just too thick, leaving only burn marks in its wake. Izuku needed to break this thing or alure it away to save Uraraka, and the former was definitely out of the question. So he flew at its left elbow joint and began to encircle it with a ring of fire the ring grew thicker and bolder until it looked like a firey arm band.
Izuku knee he couldn't blast this thing to pieces so he would just have to meet it, every element has a melting point so he would find its. He continued this dizzying move until he heard the sound of sizzling liquid, and not a moment too soon as the Zero pointer tried to swat Izuku with its other arm! When Izuku was out of range the metal around the arm joint cooled off quickly until it hardened into petrifaction, preventing it from moving that arm.
Izuku then cupped his hands and shouted, "What's wrong tin can?! Hero got your arm! If you're so mad about it then come and get me!", Izuku shouted and then rocketed off trying to kite the machine far away!
The Zero Pointers head turned towards Izuku's fleeing direction but its body kept moving forward. Izuku saw this and kept trying to kite it away with insults! But no matter what the Zero Pointers head would Follow but not the body. Izuku quickly realized that, unlike the 1-3 pointers, the Zero Pointer was wired on a set course and couldn't move anywhere else apart from where its A.I told it!
Izuku didn't want it to come to this but he needed to smash this thing now more than ever! He may not have perfected the control over One for All, but he was gonna give it his all! So he flew ahead of the machine and stopped in the air giving him time to charge up his other quirk. Green lightning zapped around his body of flame and he pushed his power to 10% in his arms.
He zoomed towards the head, knowing it's what would down the robot quickest, and with a mighty roar he bellowed, "Detroit Smash!"
But the Zero say his attack and lifted up its right arm to block the attack! Izuku collided with the arm and for all the power he put behind that punch he only put a large dent into it's thickly armored arm! Izuku tried to fly away but the Zero Pointer has him right where he wanted him, it raised its movable arm in the air and brought it down on Izuku! Izuku felt the impact of the Zero Pointers blow, the sailing nose dive, and finally the less than stellar impact on the hard ground!
Uraraka screamed at seeing Izuku body crash into the ground right next to her and create a creator in the process! She tried to look past the dust cloud but could see anything, so she called out to him.
"Are you okay?!", she called out to the cloud!
A hand shot out from the creator and Izuku pulled himself above sea level lying on the pavement while breathing heavily with multiple open wounds! Izuku took a shaky breath and replied, "I'm good ...I think."
Izuku looked up and saw the Zero pointer already right above the two, and now it looked like it wanted to step on them purposefully instead of by accident! Izuku painful brought himself out of the creator and onto his knees where he struggled to stand. Uraraka day this and tried to reason with him.
"Stop! You're too hurt!", she tried to stop him!
"Well if I don't do something then where both dead!", Izuku stayed right back!
Everything in Izuku hurt like hell, even breathing was a painful experience! He managed to prop himself on one foot and then ignited his body, he charged One for All again and this time at full power! Izuku knew exactly what would happen if he did this but no matter what he hit it with,even his most controlled percentage, nothing made a huge mark on it! And one broken bone sounded way better then completely halt of all bodily functions!
Izuku put the power through his legs and launched himself through the air at top speeds! He flew the rest of the way to the head, while avoiding the movable arm with ease, and with all his power flowing through one arm his punches the head while screaming, "SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!"
In a ``blink and you'll miss it'' moment, the whole Zero Pointers head completely dented, and then imploded into a huge hole, and then exploded further into a million pieces! The machines headless body was pushed back by the sheer force of power that it fell onto it back, even if its head survived! The machine crashed to the earth with a mighty explosion of metal, building parts, and street chunks! Izuku smiled brightly at his handy work but couldn't enjoy it for too long as he soon felt his body began to fall through the air and plumit towards the ground! Izuku looked down trying to will himself to stop falling, but no matter what he just kept plummeting faster and faster!
That's when he noticed his flame body was no longer ignite, he tried to reignite himself only to be able to do it! The only time this happens is when he's too cold or wet and he wasn't any of that in this situation. The only other reason he could think of was because he used his inner flame so much without rest or fuel that it burned out. That and when he used all his power in that last punch he literally used all his power and now he was snuffed out! Izuku couldn't even change his bodies falling position from the pain in his now limp flailing and purple colored arm! He couldn't even use his legs now that he couldn't even feel where they started and ended!
All Izuku could do was grinding his teeth, shut his eyes, brace for impact, and hope he doesn't die! Though yet again fate was on his side, as he plummeted to the ground only yards from impact, he did impact something or rather it impacted him in the form of a hard face slap!
Izuku's eyes shot open from the pain screaming across his face and saw he was now suspended mid air along with several pieces of rubble. He then saw Uraraka on a large piece of floating rubble, now free from her entrapment, looking quite weakneed. She then brought her fingers together while saying, "Realase.", and all the rubble and Izuku fell to the ground.
The fall to the ground did hurt a bit, but a fall from a few inches was far better than a few hundred yards! Izuku dared not move, think, or even breath, instead he opted to just lay there until medical arrived. Even if Recovery Girl was super old Izuku hoped she would get to him sooner rather than later. He then noticed the sound of choking, like someone was gagging up something nasty. Out of curiosity Izuku looked up and immediately wished he hadn't, before him was Uraraka laying face down on her huge piece of rubble, doubled over, and puking out her guts! Izuku slowly put his face back on the floor not wanting to think or see that as it would make him want to gag as well.
Soon Izuku felt someone's presents next to him, he looked to his side with fading vision going fuzzy and saw Uraraka sitting next to him with a worried yet thankful expression on her face. She choked back a bit and said with painful tears in her eyes, "Thank you for saving me Midori-kun, you really are my hero."
Izuku propped up his face as much as he could while the world seemed to fade in and out and gave a forced smile to her before he passed out on the Immediately began to panic and tried to call out for help, yet no matter where she looked at the two of them were all alone! She could get up and attempt to carry him to the medical office as her foot was still injured, she could try to use her quirk but she had already expended herself past her limits, and doing more may cause harm to her.
Urarak attempted to calm herself down as she wiped the tears from her face and think of anything! Just then her salvation arrived in the form of a very short and very old woman, who appeared to come out of nowhere. She was dressed like a nurse with her grey hair done up in a bun and walking by the support of a cane shaped like a syringe. She walked up to the pair and eximing them she cast her eyes to Izuku's extremely battered and uncounaise body.
She sighed out in disappointment, "You've really done it to yourself now sweetie. And here I thought Toshi had finally taught you to use your quirk properly. I guess I shouldn't assume so much."
Urarak wondered what the old woman was talking about, did she know Izuku and if so, then who was Toshi and this quirk she mentioned. She decided this wasn't her place to ask questions and simply let her see to fixing Izuku. The old woman then came close to Izuku and made a less than pleasant kissy face, suddenly her lips extended outward and smack against the back of Izuku head. When he lips retreated she stepped back and let her quirk do the rest, Izuku's body then began to glow with an unusual ora, in seconds his legs and most of the damage done to his arm was fixed up!
With the pain shock now gone IZuku began to stir awake, he lifted up his head and with fuzzy vision made out the old woman standing over him.
"Recovery Girl?", he asked the old woman.
The old woman, Recovery Girl, sighed and coming close to his ear she said softly, "You really overdid it on One for All this time."
"I'm sorry.", Izuku managed to squeak out. "But the girl."
"Is alright. Now you need to rest young man.", Izuku didn't want to fight with her on that. To say he was exhausted was an understatement! Even if Recovery Girls quirk did drain people of their stamina it didn't help he was already burnt out from over using his fire. Izuku just laid still as the medical robots put him on a stretcher and whisked him away to the infirmary. All while Izuku allowed himself to fall into deep lethargy.
Uraraka looked on as Izuku was taken away, once he was out of sight she turned towards Recovery Girl and she blabbered out, "Th-that boy. Is-Is he. Will he?"
"He'll be fine deerie, he just needs a few more healings from my quirk and he'll be fighting fit.", Recovery Girl assured the panicked girl. 'Just like the last dozen times.', she commented in her head. "Now then, why don't we heal up that leg of yours?"
Later outside of the school grounds at the entrance way, Hikari and Ko were both impatiently waiting for their friend to finally meet them after their tests were over. However it had already been over 2 hours and no sign of there friend anywhere! Especially since the school was all but empty at this point, and as such this caused them to worry. Ko for the most part was trying to keep himself calm and busy by doing coin tricks while sitting on a low tree branch, while Hikari was pacing back and forth which looked more like side stepping at the speed he was going.
At this point Ko was pretty sick of all this waiting, flicking his coin, and watching Hikari pace into
oblivion. Eventually he couldn't take it anymore and snapped at Hikari!
"OMG! Will you stop pacing already! Your making me so dizzy I could vomit!", he yelled at him while hoping off his perch!
Hikari stopped and zooming over to him he exasperated, "I can't help it! I'm nervous, it's been hours and Izuku is still in their! What if something happened to him? What if he got hurt?! What if a Villian broke in! What if the villain hurt him! WHAT'S GOING ON!"
Ko pinches his lips closed, as he knew he would just keep going, and exclaimed, "Oh calm down would you, you're overthinking this! I'm just as nervous as you are, but the pacing and the yelling isn't going to do you or him any good! Especially my ears. And this is UA for fuck sakes, a villain wouldn't be caught dead here!"
Hikari tapped his feet rapidly and exclaimed, "Oooooooooh! I just can't take it anymore! I'm gonna look for him, be back in a flash!", just before he could zoom off he stopped upon seeing someone in the distance.
Ko squinted his eyes and could just barely make out the silhouette of Izuku! A flood of relief and happiness rushed over both boys as the finally breathed and relaxed their muscles! Hikari was so excited to see Izuku that he couldn't wait and garbed Ko, then zoomed over to Izuku in a flash! Once they were at Izuku's side they immediately noticed how he was moving much slower than he normally does and his face was cast down with a gloomy aura sounding two boys decided to ignore this as Izuku did get like this when he used his quirk too often.
"So Izukun, how'd ya do? How many points did you rack up?", Ko was the first to speak, trying to break the ice.
"I bet not as many as me! I got at least 80!", Hikari decared tyrmathlly.
"Psh! I got at least 90 points, Road Runner.", Ko blew it off.
"Did not!"
"Did so."
"Lier!"
"Prove it?"
"In that case I was also lying, and I got at least 100!", Hikari laughed.
"You wish Speedy Gonzales.", Ko countered.
The two boys coninted to banter all while not noticing that Izuku had long since left their vinisity. Ko was the first to notice and bring Hikari attention to it. The two called a truce and speed up to their friend.
"But, uh, enough about us. How about you?", Ko asked him, while rubbing his head awkwardly.
"Yeah Izuku-chan, how many did you get?", Hikari asked excitedly.
Izuku stopped his moopy walking and quietly said, "I."
"Yeah?", The boys inquired.
"I."
"Yeah?!"
"I."
"YEAH!"
"I GOT NOTHING!", Izuku shot up his head to them with tear trails running down his face!
The two boys froze in place before shouting in surprise, "WHAT?!"
Ko started to nervously sweat and exclaimed, "Izukun, please tell us you're just pulling our legs right?"
"Yeah, there's no way you couldn't have gotten any. I mean you're untouchable with that fire cloke, you can fly, you have super strength and endurance, and make your own elemental projectiles!", Hikari joined in trying to make some sense.
Izuku rubbed his eyes and choked out, "I couldn't get any points because I didn't even hit one robot!", the two boys wanted to ask further, but instead let their friend continue with his explanation. "I was so distracted trying to save others that I didn't have any time! Every time I heard someone call out for help I couldn't stop myself from saving them!", he vented in a scream while sobbing some more! Once he cleared his eyes and calmed down enough to talk he stated, "I failed! I failed mom, I fail you guys, I failed All Might, I failed myself! I'm just a failure!"
Izuku immediately turned tail from his friends and ran off as fast as he could! Before Hikari could speed over to catch him, Izuku ignited his body in flames and took off into the sky leaving a trail of tears behind him!
"IZUKU WAIT!", Ko shouted towards his friend, who was now already out of shouting distance.
Seeing that there was no use in calling out or even chasing their friend, Ko dropped his hand and plopped down onto the sidewalk in defeat, soon followed by Hikari.
"Hikari-chan, what are we gonna do?", Ko asked the tall green teen.
Hikari shrugged and replied in defeat, "I don't know, you and Izuku are the ones with the plans. I just run around, make witty comments, and act all flirty and stuff."
The two of them sat like, mooping and pondering what to do for their friend for a few minutes, when all of a sudden a light bulb went off in Kos head. He turned to Hikari and asked casually, "Hikari-chan, how many points did you get again?"
Hikari rolled his eyes and throwing his hands up exclaimed, "Oh come on Ko-go, this really isn't the time for-"
"JUST TELL ME!", he cut him off sternly!
Hikari shot his hands in front defensively and replied, "Okay, sheesh! Like 70 or 80 something, I don't know, I wasn't keeping track. Why?"
A small and sly smile appeared on Kos face as he said, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
Hikari said nothing but instead stared off into space for a good minute before replying, "Probably not."
Ko face palmed and groaning he explained, "UGH! What I mean is, why don't we use some of our points to help Izuku out. Between the two of us there should be enough for all of us to have a passing grade."
Hikari waved his hand dismissively at the idea and replied, "No, that's a terrible Idea. But what if we use our extra points to help Izuku pass!"
Ko looked at the tall teen with a deapaned expression and asked with edge in his voice, "I hope you're just fucking with me."
Hikari shot to his feet and replied with a laugh, "Yeah I am. Now come on, times a wastin.", in an instant Hikari was gone in a streak of green!
Ko slolwy got up to his feet, not even brither to call out to him, and simply waited their arms craoosed and expression unamused until his dumb frined realized he didn't have super speed. And just like he thought Hikari zoomed right back in front of him with an awkward smile, a dry laugh while rubbing his head.
"Ha Ha. Sorry.", he apologized and then grabbed his friend, tucking him under his arm, and zoomed off into UA once more.
