Kool: "Here we are! Chapter two of Our Hero Academia! Sorry for the long delay, life can be a pain in the ass."
Drago: "Isn't that the truth? We both have our fair share of distractions from writing. Between work and school... mostly school for this guy." *points at Kool*
Kool: "Yep, switched schools, moved, and such took a toll on me, but like my other works, always thinking about working on these and do when time allows me. Anyways, Anything you want to mention before we do the disclaimer, Drago?"
Drago: "Hmm... a bit of self-advertisement if you don't mind. Just real quick."
Kool: "Well, this story is on your profile, not mine, so go ahead."
Drago: "True, true. Okay, so I just want to remind everyone that I still have an open poll on my page for the Forgotten Chronicles one-shots. Stories that I had planned at one point, but never made it into the final cut. The top two winners will be written out, so keep those votes coming!"
Kool: "I should go vote on that..." *ponders for a moment* "Ok, let's get on with the Disclaimer and of course the school's Motto! Neither Drago nor myself own anything of the MHA franchise except for any characters, Quirks, and anything else we come up with on our own."
Drago: "Nicely said, buddy. Now, 3... 2... 1..."
Both: "Go beyond...PLUS ULTRA!"
Waking up from his sleep, Deion could only hear the ringing of his phone, it was early, very early in the morning. He rubbed his eyes, looking at the time; 5:34 am. The caller ID of the phone made him sigh as well. It was his father.
"Yeah dad, good morning." He said answering it.
"Just wanted to say good morning." The voice of a Pro-Hero said on the other line.
"I had to go overseas last night so I couldn't call you after your first day of class." His father said. Deion tapped his fingerings at the desk next to his bed.
"I'm glad you let me take the exam… It's what he would have wanted me to do too." Both men tensed up a bit at those words.
"I saw All Might yesterday too, did he tell you my message?" Deion asked as his father merely made a sound in agreement.
"I'm assuming I woke you up early so I'll leave you be, I might not call until next week at the latest. Make me proud Deion…"
And with that, the pro-hero, his father, hung up. Deion hung up the next moment as well, placing a hand on his face.
"This might be a long day." He said as he decided then to get up and out of bed…
At the same time, Sean was up bright and early as per his normal routine, getting accustomed to his new home all the while. It was a bit bigger than his home in the states, but nothing extravagant like a mansion. He was soaking in the tub in a slightly discolored water, from a specially made bath bomb that his mother created.
Along with being a pro-hero, she was a chemist and inventor who creates the gear she and her husband used in their hero duties.
"Ah... nothing like a good soak before the day..." He sighed in relief and let himself sink into the water, completely submerging himself for a minuted before poking his head out again and reaching for the shampoo. "I wonder what's on today's agenda for school... hopefully Aizawa-sensei will go a bit easier this time, but that's only wishful thinking. For a pro-hero and a teacher, he's a bit of a weirdo."
His thoughts drifted to the rest of his classmates, especially his new friends and he smiled a bit. "At least I made some friends in the first week. I'll have to introduce them to everyone when I get the chance, maybe over a video call." Continuing his cleaning, he scrubbed his head into a nice lather before dipping again to rinse, before rising up in a dramatic Jaws-style way and shaking the water out of his hair.
"Well, time to get dressed and eat, don't wanna keep anyone waiting." Grabbing a towel that was beside the tub, he stood up and wrapped it around his waist before draining the water and stepping out onto the bath mat covering a patch of the tile floor. Then he opened the door and peaked out real quick to make sure his parents weren't in the hall and dashed to his room real quick down the hall. "Note to self, get a bathrobe... towels are a bit too breezy."
(Later that day, Class 1-A)
The whole class had gathered once again after lunch, with a couple students being barely on time. Tenya was reprimanding Bakugo again for putting his feet up on his desk, Tokoyami was conversing with Souji over some music, Tsuyu, Mina, and Ochaco were chatting normally, and other normal high schooler things. Sean was flipping through his notes and a Japanese dictionary to work on his broken speaking, which improved a little since his arrival.
"Oh, Sky-san." A timid voice caught Sean's attention and made him look up from the books. It was Izuku, who was walking in just now with Kirishima. The American brunette waved to them. "Good morning, what are you doing?"
"Hehe... practicing my Japanese. Still a bit shaky on some things, admittedly." The other boys chuckled at him and Kirishima peered over his shoulder at his notes.
"Man, you're hardcore about it though. You've been studying our language for a while now, even before you showed up."
"Yeah... I can understand it well enough, but I still butcher some words. But hey, practice makes perfect."
"Kinda reminds me of Midoriya's notebook. He's always mumbling and nose-deep in it." Izuku sheepishly rubbed the back of his head from that statement.
"It's not really study material though, more like a record I keep about pro-heroes because they're so cool... I've been told I'm kind of a fanboy." Both the other boys chuckled at his response. It was only natural that Izuku would look up to pro-heroes, most people do because of the amazing work that they do, capturing villains, rescuing people, just helping those in need. It's all the motivation aspiring young heroes like themselves would want, to have a standard to set themselves up to.
Meanwhile, wandering down the halls, Deion began to think to remember something All Might said to him a while back.
'Just… show them you're a hero, and all will be forgiven.' He thought as he looked at the time, seeing it was just about 12:32 already.
"Crap, already late for my next class." He said hurrying off to get to class. "If I remember correctly, it's Hero Basic Training... which means..." He trailed off and walked into the classroom, where everyone else had ended up sitting where they were supposed to be in their seats, with only his seat and the teacher's podium empty. And all the eyes of his classmates fell upon him as he entered and closed the door.
"Uh... sorry. Not the teacher. Who is it, anyway?"
"I am..." A familiar voice echoed behind him, a loud and manly voice that he knew all too well.
'Oh crap, don't tell me he's going to...'
"...using the door like a normal person!" All Might walked in and stepped through the door fiercely, accidentally knocking Deion across the room in a comical fashion as the young man slid across the floor. While he was recovering, everyone else looked in awe at the Number One Hero march his way into their room, up to the podium in a vibrant red, blue, white, and yellow suit with a long red cape. A hero costume from the Silver Age. Deion wordlessly went to his seat while All Might went on to explain what the class would be about, which is teaching the basics of training them to become real heroes, as the name of the class implied.
"Today, we'll be working on THIS! Combat training! And to go along with that, we have THESE!" He pointed dramatically to a wall in the class, where panels slid out and revealed numbered containers, one for every student in the class and were assigned to the arrangement of their seating order. "Costumes made to match with your Quirks, and were based on requests you sent in before school started!"
Everybody's eyes went wide, their very own hero costumes! This is what they've REALLY been waiting for!
"Afteryou all change, gather in Ground Beta!" He was met with a collective response of 'Yes sir!'
(After everyone changed)
All Might stood readilly waiting in front of the gates leading into Ground Beta. Not long after, it opened up and revealed everyone had changed into their respective gear and walked out confidently for the most part. And each design was as unique as the student it belonged to. Like Bakugo having grenade-shaped arm braces, Tenya wearing a mecha-style armor suit, Tsuyu wearing a wetsuit with large goggles, etc.
Sean was wearing a red sleeveless gi top, with white belted bracers on his forearms, and a black belt with a stylized 4-point star-shaped belt buckle wrapped around his waist over the gi. Skintight blue pants were worn over his legs, but he didn't seem to be wearing any shoes or socks. A long flowing black scarf was tied loosely around his neck and over his shoulders, draping down almost like a cape, and he had a tribal style hoop necklace on a leather cord hanging over his chest. On his belt were a couple utility pouches and a sports bottle containing water.
Deion's outfit mirrored a more rugged style, like Kirishima's. He lacked a shirt as to show off his bare torso like during the physical tests, though he had a simple black eye mask on to cover his eyes. The rest of his clothes looked very plain, like a street brawler. With blue jeans and dark maroon shoes laced up almost like combat boots. But if one looked closely enough when he walked, there wasn't much of a sole on the bottom, just enough to keep the shoes from coming off his feet easily. His wrists were wrapped in bandage-like cloth, and he had an empty wide holster on his lower back, attached to a belt.
The rest of the class went on per normal, giving explanations on how the exercise of the day would work and how teams would be picked. With a setup of 2-on-2 heroes vs villains style, hiding a fake nuclear warhead inside of a building. Each pair would be given a role of capturing tape for one each, so four rolls of tape. The victor is decided whether by a time-out in favor of the villains, either team captures the other, or the heroes successfully get to the bomb. Each team would be picked by drawing lots, with the following results:
Team A - Izuku and Ochaco
Team B - Souji and Todoroki
Team C - Mineta and Momo
Team D - Bakugo and Iida
Team E - Sean and Mina
Team F - Deion and Koji
Team G - Denki and Kyoka
Team H - Tsuyu and Tokoyami
Team I - Ojiro and Hagakura
Team J - Sero and Kirishima
The first match would be Team A as Heroes, and Team D as Villains, Izuku and Bakugo could feel the intensity between each other as they went off to the designated area, while everyone else went to the monitoring room.
And intense it was, Bakugo showed no mercy whatsoever as if he were actively trying to kill Izuku. And some believed he was. Izuku himself was thoroughly convinced. But he didn't give up in the slightest, he fought back to the best of his ability, even breaking one of his arms in the process to not only shock his childhood friend turned rival, but also to give Ochaco the opening she needed to knock Tenya away from the bomb to grab it in time to grab the win for them.
Izuku went off to Recovery Girl after that for the rest of the day to heal his broken arm. And the following battles, while not as intense all went off without much incident and on schedule.
After the conclusion of the last battle of Team G vs Team C, All Might once again shoved his hands into the drawing boxes labeled 'Heroes' and 'Villains'. "Alright, everyone! The last pairs to proceed with the training are..." Trailing, off, he pulled both hands from the boxes, holding up the lettered balls from each.
"Team E will be Heroes! And Team F will be Villains!" The announcement caused Sean and Deion to look over at each other briefly.
For a moment, Deion tensed up slightly at the term 'Villain" He was hoping his team wouldn't be the villains. Koji looked over at him as well before they walked over to their starting post. All Might gave the rules like with everyone else, just making sure they knew the rules, though, after the battle between Izuku and Bakugo, some rules were changed because of how close they came to really hurt each other. All Might noticed that something was also, the air was a bit tense too. Deion already had a lot on his mind today, so being a villain doesn't seem like the best choice.
Sean and Mina headed outside of the building, knowing their goal full-well. "Hey, I get a feeling that Deion will do what Bakugo did and try and intercept us. If we run into him, slide right past him and head for the warhead. I'll keep him busy."
"Right, okay!" Mina nodded with one of her traditional grins while Sean nodded back and adjusted the scarf around his neck. He checked once more to make sure that everything on his suit was as he asked the school to design, down to the utility belt he asked for.
"Hey, Koji..." He said to his partner who looked a bit startled when he spoke. Both were in their spot next to warhead, but something different about Deion, Koji can tell because they been talking since they were paired up. "I need you stay and protect the warhead at all cost. Just stay here and let me protect you." He said as he had a look on his face that said he didn't like what was happening. He hated the term 'Villain'. Even more so, when it's used on someone in his family...
"He... He..." He couldn't believe his eyes... his older brother... killed by his own father...
All Might the whole time seemed in deep thought about something. He should though this one through. 'But, If he's going to go anywhere, he has to understand what it's like to be a villain.' He thought.
And then, the starting signal was sounded, and the pair of heroes ran into the building.
With a flash, Deion took off down the hall, he had to not destroy the place and not let the Villains... wait not, heroes, get the warhead. It might be easier to think they are heroes wanting to stop villains from taking the warhead, but that wasn't the point... Why was he so worried about this!?
"Damnit." He rushed down the halls, saving what has built up before for when the fight starts. He knows that Sean is his opponent. He still doesn't know much about his Quirk and what he can do. So he had to keep on his toes.
When they came upon some stairs, Sean looked to Mina and crouched down. "Get on my back, it'll be quicker if I fly us". The pink girl hesitated for a second, maybe even blushed ever so slightly, but she agreed to it and got on him piggyback style, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Here we go!" He generated wind around his hands and feet and propelled them up the building, keeping an eye out for anything in case he needs to make a quick dodge.
"Quake Punch: 4.0!" Their plan didn't work out as well as they thought, around a tight corner and without much time to think, Deion's fist landed on Sean's side. The impact wasn't too hard, but it was enough to knock him off balance. They finally came face to face. "Hey guys, sorry about that." He said to them as he looked at Sean, sort of ignoring Mina.
"Mina, I don't like to hit women if I don't have to, your opponent is Koji if you can find him." Was all he said to her before his full attention was on Sean, not saying anything to him. He though was getting ready for his next move.
Sean grit his teeth as he skids to a halt, the skin on his feet wasn't dragged and burned by the friction though. "Well, it looks like we both had the same idea. Mina, get going." She nodded and got off his back, creating some acid underneath her feet and sliding by Deion as Sean got back to a standing position.
Once she was around the corner, Deion's legs shook slightly for a moment.
"Let's do this." His whole tone has changed from his normal, friendly one, it was filled with disgust, not for Sean, but for himself. But like Sean, he didn't want to fail. "I want to get this over with as soon as possible." He was ready to use the capture tape, he was going to deal with Sean first and then go after Mina, and convince her to surrender. Meanwhile, someone else notices something was off about Deion; Momo. "All Might, I think something.. weird is wrong with him." She noted. All Might nodded his head.
"Not worry, I'm sure young Deion is just a bit nervous." He lightly lied. 'Just hold it together, this should over soon.. And Sean, go easy on him.'
Sean got to thinking to himself. 'Something's not right... even if he wants to get it over with, I know that the capture tape won't work on a power type like him. I don't know the specifics, but I'm gonna have to get a little creative here and take a page from dad's book.' The wind gathered around both his arms and he swung them as if shaping a circle in front of him. The wind in the room picked up and spun, creating a current down the entire hallway and Deion could feel himself lifting off the ground. "TRAP TWISTER!"
He was stuck in mid-air, he couldn't move much before of the vortex Sean had created. This was something his dad would do. Deion had to think quickly. He wasn't sure if Sean would keep this up forever. He though didn't have much to counter him. But he can do something. He pulled back his arm, aiming at Sean.
"Quake Punch: 6.0!" He said as he punched forward, created a One for All type burst of power that he used to try and not only break out of the trap, but also do some damage to Sean at the same time.
Thinking quick, Sean slammed his foot on the ground and erected a wall of concrete and tile to block the burst enough to minimize the damage, but keep his arms free to keep the twister in place. The sudden use of Terra-forming made everyone watching double take, except All Might himself.
"Hey, what's going on? I thought he had a wind Quirk like his dad!" Denki shouted, making some of the others nod in agreement.
"But it looks like he does... so where did the earth wall come from?" Todoroki contemplated the question but came to a quick conclusion. Sean's Quirk was very much like his own.
This also surprised Deion a lot, briefly taking him out of his funk as he looked at him. "What did you just do?" He asked. He realized then his plan did work, his punch was strong enough to overpower Sean's Twister. But with a wall of earth in front of him, Deion could very much use this as well.
"You know what... I don't care." He said as he punched himself in the chest a few times before his fist began to Glow. 'Last of my power, for now. Didn't store up a lot, need to recharge.' He thought as he looked at the wall.
"Quake Punch: 5.0!" He called before his fist slammed into the wall Sean created, shattering it with ease, But he ducked around a corner after he did so, not wanting to be caught in another wind trap, wind doesn't help him in the slightest. The brunette hero trainee grabbed the lone bottle from his belt and opened the cap, taking a swig of water and then putting it back. Not seeing Deion, he decided to proceed down the hall with caution.
Having run off, Deion needed Sean or someone or thing to hit him hard, while running was slowly recharging him, He would have to run around for a long time for him reach a decent level. 'What do I do... what would... no, he wasn't a villain, he wouldn't think about this!' Deion was a bit conflicted right now, he was constantly reminding himself that this was just for school. He stopped to listen for Sean, get a fix on where he was. Though he couldn't hear much of anything. Since Sean was barefoot, he didn't hear the clack of a shoe tapping on the ground.
Sean moved with the lightest of footsteps, using the wind he creates to propel him with a quiet breeze that also cushions his landings, making his way closer to Deion without the young power type noticing. Without a sound, he opened his mouth and the water he sipped earlier was spit out onto his hand. It didn't splash, but it landed in a wavy orb shape in his palm before it seemed to spread and overlap to the exact shape. Stopping before he hit the corner, he places his hand on the wall, and the water seemed to stretch from his fingertips, curving around and continuing along the length of the wall, though lower to the ground to avoid being seen.
Deion thought it was too quiet as he moved around himself, feeling more energy welling up inside him. 'What is he up to?' He thought as he begins to think about returning to Koji, thinking that Sean may have left to link back up with Mina. 'Damn I let my guard down.' He took his hand and slammed it into the wall, feeling how much power that added to him. 'This should be enough for now.' He said as he put his back to a wall, stopping. "Ok Sean, wherever you are, I'm ready." He said as his voice carried down hallways. His mind was a bit unnerved by the fact Sean was the 'Hero' in this still. 'I'll be damned if anyone calls me a villain.' His mind was buzzing with just this fact alone, it's messing up his game for sure.
[Deion…. Huh, he doesn't seem to have a last name, odd. Anyways his Quirk: Kinetics! It's completely different then what you are thinking, he's a Shock Absorber who can dish back out what was given up to 10X more powerful than his opponent, and you don't want to push him to his limits!]
It was then that Deion felt something wet around his foot. Not a puddle, but like his foot was submerged in water. Looking down to see what caused the sensation, he saw exactly that, along with the streams that ran along the wall and around the corner. This made him jump just a tad bit. The cool water was something he didn't even think of. But he thought for a moment... "Bring it." Was all he said, as his clenched fist powered up. "QUAKE PUNCH: 7.0!" He shouted as he jumped up, he knew it might cost him points, but from were the water was coming from he bet it was where Sean was. So with the strongest punch that he can make at this current Level, He blasted himself through the wall, a bit recklessly, to see if Sean was at least on the other side of it.
And find him he did, but it was laying down directly underneath where he shot out from, letting Deion and the rubble scatter past him with a smirk on his face.
"Gotcha," Sean muttered. Spinning on his back with some wind, he got back on his feet in a breakdance-like motion after Deion was just far enough beyond him, with water still on hand and connected to his foot. "Now, get out of here! You'll bring the whole building down at this point!" Holding his hand in a firm fist, he started spinning more, picking up his momentum quite a bit. And with Deion still attached to the water trail, he was spun along with the brunette boy. Though with the hole that was made in the wall earlier, there was a lot more open space than just a couple minutes prior, so Deion didn't hit much of anything on his swing.
"AQUA LASSO: TWISTER TOSS!" The shout of the new move echoed in the room before the water around Deion's foot let go of him completely, launching him down a hall and through a door to a staircase that leads only down in a square spiral. He would hit the wall instead of tumbling down the whole way, landing back-first. Sean breathed and grabbed the bottle with his spare hand by the cap, twisting it open and letting the water form into a small stream before it slipped back inside, almost like a serpent, and then sealed it once more.
[Sean Sky! Quirk: Nature Control! As long as he is making physical contact with any element, he can directly control it! However, he is not unaffected by what he touches and can still feel pain from things such as fire.]
"That won't keep him for long, I need to get to Mina," Sean noted, seeing how Deion seemed to get stronger with every hit he took, like a punching bag that hit back if it swung too far. With that in mind, he ran for a window and shattered the glass with a strong gale, then jumping out and using twisters on all four limbs to push himself up and fly to a higher floor.
With a groan and a small smirk, a sign he was very impressed with his new friend, Deion felt his body was charged up more from how hard he hit the wall behind him, hard enough that it left a few cracks in it. "Not bad." He thought as he then made a strive to leave since he heard glass break after he landed, Sean was going to fly it seems to the where the warhead was. "Not on my watch." He said as he shook his head once more, having to remember again he wasn't the hero. "Just need to get to Koji." He said as his legs gave him a burst, in a full through the hall and up another set of stairs to meet up with his partner.
All Might watched the time, they only had a minute before time runs out, but seems Deion might not last much longer. "All Might, sir." He heard as he looked down to see Momo standing next to him. "I have been observing the fight closer now, and are you sure Deion will be ok?" She asked him before the Number one Hero gave his student one of his award-winning smiles.
"I have full confidence that he is just fine! His nerves seem worn off." He reassured her before another student spoke up, Izuku.
"I don't know, even after that hit when he stood up, he hesitated for a moment." He had just come back from visiting Recovery Girl, looking still out of stamina, but he wanted to see the other fights as well. "Like a thought crossed his mind. He doesn't seem like someone to doubt himself."
Deion nearly blew right past Mina, which knocked her over. She had gotten lost on her way to the warhead and Deion's last attack did seem to shake the whole building so she found somewhere to ride it out. "Whoa, he must be heading up towards where warhead is! I just need to follow him." She reasoned, heading behind him, which once more, he seemed to be ignoring her.
While Deion made a mad dash for the warhead room, Sean kept scaling up the building, knowing that it wouldn't necessarily be on the very top floor, but the building was huge. And they were only fighting on the fourth floor.
"Now, if I was a warhead, where would I be? Not at the base, and not at the top... but still enough to do significant damage... bomb threats are always different depending on the size of the charge." He stopped two-thirds of the way up, at the 12th floor, and blasted another window in. Only this time, he also created a vacuum vortex to remove the glass shards before they landed on the floor, making them fall safely out the window before he flew inside since he was barefoot. He didn't want to land on anything too sharp. "It could easily be on a lower floor and I passed it, but it won't hurt to look around here before working my way up... though I may not have much of a leisure. Time's probably running short, and Deion will be on me again soon..."
Thinking quickly, he was airborne again and started looking in each door he passed along the way. The students and All Might watched his actions closely as well, on the other monitor. "He was careful enough to not step on the glass but carried it out of the building. Guess you gotta be mindful of that if you're not wearing shoes, huh?" Denki crossed his arms while he stated that, not saying the obvious that was on everyone else's minds. They saw their classmate not just control the wind, but also stone, and now water.
"A triple elemental Quirk? Is that even possible?" Tenya adjusted his glasses as he kept his gaze fixed on the exercise, muttering lowly, even though he knew he wasn't the only one thinking it. Sure, some families produce children whose Quirks are a combination of the two of their parents, but three? It was never heard of before.
"I would expect nothing else from the Son of Captain Sky and Sky-Maiden. I'm sure they have helped him train to have that much control, he's quite impressive don't you think?" All Might praised, but still more worried about another ticking time-bomb that might go off. "I, of course, know both of their parents personally, so I knew-." All Might let something slip, until then, Deion has been quiet about his home life, but Todoroki picked up what he said. "You're saying, Deion's parents are also heroes?" Many of them came to mind, but only one hero they knew of ever comes to Japan, to Tokyo, at all. Izuku took out his notebook as well as found the one African American hero he can think of. "Is his father the Multiplier Hero; X?" He asked as it dawned on everyone in the room; If X is his father... that means...
Sean had guessed right as he was faced by a very startled Koji, clearly frightened by the fact he was expecting Mina to show up through the door, which he and Deion had already set up a trap for her using the capture tape he had before Deion left to intercept them. But, the wall closest to Sean was blown out suddenly, the dust only hiding him for a moment. But Deion was already up and ready. "Villain... your fight is with me." He slipped, his mind didn't want to handle that mindset. "I despise that term... I hate it... I will never be called a Villain... I don't give a damn if I fail this. I refuse to be called a Villain! I swear in the name of my brother, the Hero of the Shadows... XEROBEATX!" He declared right there to Sean, Koji, and Mina, who finally caught up to Deion's path of destruction as he was punching through the walls and floor along the windows, knowing just which side not only were the Warhead was, but where Sean would most likely come in.
Sean's eyes went wide when he heard that, as did Mina's. Deion's brother was... XerobeatX?! Then that means...
"No wonder he's so sore about being called a villain..." Sean muttered to himself just lowly enough, though it didn't seem like Deion would have noticed much in his near-blind rage. 'But this is wrong... if this is his mindset about villains, then what is his idea of a hero?' The element user only had enough time to think for himself before he noticed Mina there too. Then he got a plan. "Mina, go for the Warhead like we planned! Use your acid on Koji's tape if you must, and I'll keep HIM occupied! You get the lesser of two evils!"
He knew what he said, and how he worded it, and it probably dug his grave. But he needed Deion's focus on him, and not his partner. And if being a villain ticks him off, being called evil... especially the GREATER evil. Preparing for the worst, Sean flew backward before turning around out the door, blasting himself down the hall.
It was something the whole class didn't expect. Since, to their knowledge, X only had one son. Even Izuku was scrambling through the data he collected to make sense of this. All Might gained a seldom look before looking at the time, 30 seconds left. With the cat out of the bag and Deion in pretty much a blinding rage, just like Bakugo, but for different reasons, he knew this would be a very dangerous situation for everyone in that building since Deion can very much bring it down. "Young Sean, this is important, you have to keep Young Deion from doing any more damage to yourself and the surrounding area. We hit a very sensitive subject, one that should be explained. But for now, you must help your friend!" All Might sounded worried, not a good sign.
Deion's eyes locked on to Sean. "You dare call me Evil!? I thought you were my friend!" This clearly pissed Deion off as he gave chase to Sean, keeping pace with him just as easily. "No one... In my Family... well be told that Lie any more!" He said as Sean and the others all knew the truth... or so they thought until now.
Sean kept his gaze ahead, knowing Deion was right on the tail of his scarf. There was only one way to keep Deion from doing more damage in the building, and that was to get him OUT of the building. And he knew he had to egg him on, even if it pained him to do so. The act needed to stay strong to occupy him and give Mina the time to grab the bomb.
"Well with the way you're acting, it's not very heroic at all! You're just destroying everything in your path! It's very careless of you, keeping your eyes fixed on what you want, like any other villain!" Touching the nerve continuously, Sean kept increasing his speed so Deion wouldn't catch him, twisting down one of the broken walls made earlier and flying all the way down to the 4th floor from earlier. With his one shot, knowing he would keep following him, Sean flew out the original broken window once again. And sure enough, Deion jumped after him.
"...And time is..." All Might began as when Sean flew out the window, he would be out of reach as Deion would fall a few stories, but Deion charged up his legs and with a thrust, push himself airborne, and flew towards Sean like a missile. With his arm cocked back, in those milliseconds they had left, Deion landed another good hit, this time onto Sean's back, punching him with whatever force he could muster. "DON'T YOU DARE MOCK ME SEAN SKY!" He shouted at him. "I KNOW THIS ISN'T WHAT A HERO DOES... AND IT HURTS ME TO DO THIS!" He added.
"...Up!" All Might called as the horns blared, though at the same moment Deion's punch landed on Sean's back, Mina was able to get a hand on the warhead, earning her and Sean the victory... but the cost of it was high. Deion was fuming now, but the moment after punch, he finally let go and let himself fall.
Gritting his teeth and holding back a cough, Sean used the remaining power from after the hit and losing some breath to grab Deion's arm and float them down to the ground safely, though he landed in a heap after the fact. Letting his nerves catch up to him, he felt the pain and started coughing, trying to get his breath back.
"I'm sorry... I know now that... it's sensitive. But letting you wreck the place... it was no better than... Bakugo with Izuku..." Sean said between coughs, finally taking a deep breath to steady himself and pull himself back to his feet. "It wasn't personal, I swear."
"I already had to deal with my dad this morning... I didn't need this on top of that." He said as he looked at his friend, seemingly trying to decide something before he offered his hand.
"This... is a real hero. What I was doing back..." He stopped as he grabbed Sean to help him along, not commenting or anything about his last attack.
"I'm going to drop you off, then I'm gone... Tell All Might that I'll be in class tomorrow." He said as he knew what was going to happen.
The rest of class gathered around All Might. The class went on after that revelation as normal. The other hero and villain battles went as planned and without incident unlike the first two. But there was still an air of unease everyone was having.
"I can see the question burning in all of you… It shouldn't be my story tell, but Young Deion would at least want you all to know." He addressed the rest of the class. Sean looked over at his friend, Mina the closest to him at the moment, but Yayarozu was looking a bit distance, as well as worried.
"You all know the story of XerobeatX, a promising young hero with a clear path ahead of him. You all know he and his girlfriend, The Speedy Hero: Flash Goddess, were a duo who made their two very different quirks work well together… As I said, I know his father well, so I knew Young Deion as he was growing up. He looked up to his older brother more than any hero at the time. So, that fated day 3 years ago took his toll on him. His name and face have been kept out of media to protect him at his father's request." He said as something Deion said rang in Sean's ears, that… everything they have been told was a lie… but it wasn't, what the story he was told, what was he going to believe.
"You must all be disappointed in your fellow classmate, but I can assure you he will most-."
"I don't give a damn what his problem is. If he can't face what's happened without crying like a little bitch like that, then what's point of him even wanting to be a hero?" That of course came from Bakugo, just wanting to go on with that.
"Kaachan, this is important!" Izuku tried to speak up before Kirishima spoke up.
"Yeah, we had no idea if something like that might cause him to flip out on of us. I mean, he knew this was just a test." There was an air of agreement with what he said from a good number of students, some thought Deion was friendly, now they think this might have some problems. Ones that make them want to stay away from him.
"Yeah, it was… sort of scary the way he acted, he was just like Bakugo."
"FUCK YOU TOO!"
"Hey! Don't shot at her like that, hot head!" That little exchanged was set off by Mina and finished by Sean, but 3 people still seemed to be on Deion's side.
"We shouldn't treat him like an outsider because of something that effects his past, he's clearly hurting over it," Momo stated, while he didn't speak up, Izuku agreed with what she said.
"Alright, let's now let everyone calm down." All Might spoke up, feeling him was starting to run out.
"For now, class is dismissed."
Kool: "And cut! wow... that was a bit heavy... That's chapter 2 for you."
Drago: "Heavy is... definitely the right word to describe it."
Kool: "Yeah, Not only did Sean and Deion go head to head... we get a bit Deion's past revealed and sort of a problem with him. To be clear, His brother is dead, but it's the effect of his death, as well as the fact he killed his own girlfriend, that drives Deion. But, it's caused him to have a few mental issues, stuff that needs to be checked out, which will be discussed next chapter."
Drago: "It will definitely lead to personal conflicts between him and his classmates, rifts in bonds, butting of heads, differing of opinions on what it means to be a hero, etc. And it will be a long road."
Kool: "That is the plan, as well as it did open up a few other things we hinted at last chapter as well. But in due time, those will come to light as well."
Drago: "And similar things can be said about Sean. It was hinted about the details of his Quirk during the tests in the last chapter, but we'll dig more into that soon enough in full detail."
Kool: "Yep, can't wait to get to some parts, next chapter will be a break from actions because we would be going right into the 'USJ' attack, so we decided to take a break and focus on character."
Drago: "Showing some more average teenage shenanigans, so to speak."
Kool: "And with that, I'll give you my normal farewell, don't forgot to vote in Drago's poll if you have not. See ya!"
Drago: "I'm right behind you, man. See everyone next time, ja ne! Oh, and if anyone is curious on how to pronounce XerobeatX, it's 'zero beats'. Hope that helps!"
