Natsu was on the ground looking straight up in the void. He recognized the place he was in due to his last encounter with it. Natsu finally got up knowing he was there for a reason. Like last time he began to wander the void, seeing if he could discover anything. This time the walk was short lived as he heard a familiar voice, however the voice was different. It sounded like a furious beast on a carnage for power, a beast that won't stop until it has what it wants. Natsu started to run towards the beast like voice, thinking it's the reason why he's back in the void.
Natsu is suddenly stopped by a familiar feeling, The feeling of the crimson flame. Natsu's body hastily dropped with immense pressure on it, his body exploding with crimson fire. He was screaming with pain, eventually dropping with wasn't long before the feeling of passing out came, but to discover the mystery of this place he knew he had to get past this trial.
Time passed and the flame finally went out, Natsu was on the verge of collapsing but the fire just went out there's no way he'll give up now. After resting on the ground for a couple of minutes he managed to will his body up. The first he saw was a huge door towering him, with the faint echo of the beast like voice emitting from it. Natsu ran towards the door but the door simply wouldn't budge. The next best thing Natsu thought of was to bust down the door. He gathered his natural flames to his hand and started to hit the door with a barrage of punches, soon enough his punches filled his sight with smoke.
Natsu stopped when he got tired from over using his quirk, leaving smoke everywhere. When the smoke cleared the door was revealed, It had been dealt no damage. Natsu was shocked that not even a mark was seen on the door. This angered Natsu, he felt weak because of the fact that he couldn't even break down a door. Soon the rage and feeling of weakness turned into power. His body erupted with the same crimson fir from earlier, Natsu eye's also changed… It was like Natsu's whole body and mind turned different. He was going to start another wave of attack, but he sensed another presence behind him. Natsu couldn't make out the face, however he did notice the figures stand out black hair. The figure approached Natsu and placed it's hand on his shoulder, it was like he wasn't affected by Natsu flame.
"No… Not yet, you're still far too weak." The figure said. Natsu felt his flame go out and was confused on what's happening. The figure vanished leaving Natsu only more confused. Natsu dropped to one knee, feeling his body starting to grow weak. Before he knew it his body started to crumble to dust. He felt the horrible pain of turning to dust. He thought it was over. Until he woke up in an unfamiliar room.
"Huh… Where am I?" Natsu questioned. Natsu heard a door behind him open… and was not expecting to see Shota.
"Shota… where are we?" Natsu asked. Shota had that same calm look on her face, she was holding a tray with something he couldn't make out, on it.
"We're in my room." Shota replied calmly.
"That's surprising, but why am I here?" Natsu followed up.
"After we got done fighting you suddenly passed out. You were in the school infirmary for a while, and Izuka had already left. Also your mother had to do something so she couldn't couldn't pick you up." Shota explained.
"Well, That explains a lot. But why am I here at your place? I mean no offence, but it would make more sense if someone like Katsuka took me instead?" Natsu responded wondering.
"Well… Katsuka was the first person who was asked. But she for some reason got mad and started to insult, you only to leave shortly after. Then the next choice was going to be Kami but I offered to take you." Shota explained.
"Wow. Thanks!" Natsu said, smiling.
"It's no problem, since I felt as if I'm the reason you passed out." Shota said, still calm.
"I don't know how I can thank you. But I'm surprised that your parents let you, because they don't even know me." Natsu said.
"Well he doesn't know." Shota said, mostly clam. And as if it were a cue Shota's door basically slammed open. With a not too happy person standing at the door. The man at the door was going to say something but he just realized the boy in the room.
"Shota… Who is this boy and why is he here?" The person asked sternly. Shota looked at him with a little anger in her eyes.
"It's none of your concern." Shota shot back sharply. The answer seemed to make this man angrier.
"Stop with this foolishness Shota and tell me who he is!" The man said, practically demanding at this point.
"His name is Natsu Dragneel… He's a friend of mine." Shota responded in a different tone. The man had a look of disappointment and anger mixed on his face.
"You don't need to worry about weaklings like him, people like that will only hold you back." The man said, with his voice growing. Shota seemed to be getting a tiny bit madder by the moment and was about to reply until…
"I know this is probably none of my business, but you should stop talking to Shota like that. She's not a weak person who needs to be cradled to." Natsu interrupted in a respectful tone. Both turned their faces to him with different look's on them.
"What did you say little boy?" The man asked darkly. Natsu didn't lose any confidence however and looked him in the eye.
"Trust me when I say this, Shota is one of a kind. She's one of the strongest people I've ever faced, and I may have only recently met her but I already have a deep respect for her. Not only because of power but because I consider us friends already." Natsu responded, seriously.
"What would a kid like you know about power... " The man said getting more angry. Both Natsu and Shota were going to jump in, but.
"Do you even know who I am!?" The man shouted.
"Yes I do… You're Endeavor, The 2nd ranked hero. And I have deep respect for what you do." Natsu said honestly, getting up.
"So you know what type of power I hold… Shota has the potential to surpass me and even All Might. And I won't let someone useless ruin that!" Endeavor said with fire rising from his chest.
"Even if you're the second ranked hero… I won't let you do that! You can't just dictate someone's future!" Natsu said. Natsu had ignited his body and walked towards him. He expected Endeavor to get more upset but instead the man smirked.
"Fine I'll allow you to talk to Shota for now. But if I see you hold her back, I'll force her to cut you off." Endeavor said, very serious. As soon as he said those final words he left the room. Natsu sat back down, because he was still worn out
"Whew! That was a close one right?" Natsu said cheerfully. Shota looked at him in a daze.
"Yeah… But thank you." Shota said calmly. Natsu looked at her weirdly.
"What do you mean?" Natsu asked. Shota was once again confused.
"You helped me with my father, knowing who he is." Shota replied. Natsu just looked at her and laughed.
"Of course we're friends aren't we." Natsu said while smiling.
"Yeah…" Shota said quietly. A few silent moments had passed and Natsu just realized he forgot something important to ask.
"Hey… What time is it?" Natsu asked.
"It's 9:30pm." Shota said casually. Natsu let out a sigh of relief, because in his mind that's not too late. He was planning to head back home, but all of the exhaustion on his body wouldn't let him.
"Well I know you probably want me to go but… My body is still worn out after our battle. Is it ok if I spend the night over here?" Natsu asked, laughing a bit.
"Of course…" Shota said, looking away a bit.
"Thank's, It's nice to have friends as nice as you." Natsu said, with a huge smile. Shota thanked him for the compliment. After a while more of talking they both got really tired so they decided to go to bed. Natsu fell asleep on the same thing from earlier.
Morning
Shota woke up earlier than Natsu, so she decided to wake him up. Natsu sat up and stretched a bit.
"Hey… Did you by chance bring my uniform?" Natsu asked drowsy.
"Yes. The school gave me your uniform before we left." Shota said in her usual tone.
"Is it ok if I take a morning shower?" Natsu asked, still tired.
"Yeah… We have multiple shower's in this place, so I'm going to take one as well. They both proceed to take showers. Natsu headed back to the room because he forgot the top. It didn't take long to spot because it was in the same area he slept. Natsu quickly put on his shirt and was going to wait but as he turned around Shota was there.
"Are you ready?" Shota asked, with her usual same tone. Natsu and Shota made their way out of her house and proceeded to head towards the school. The beginning of the day was weird due to all the media people there. They gathered there after hearing that All Might is a teacher. As students were walking in they were getting bombarded with questions, and finally after getting away from all the reporters Natsu and Shota got to class. Surprisingly, Natsu and Shota arrived pretty early. And after some time has passed everyone including the teacher arrived.
"Good work yesterday, I saw the video and results." Awazia said tiredly.
"Bakugo. You're talented so stop acting like a brat. Izuka, you finished by breaking your arm again, huh? You can't keep saying that you can't help it since you can't control your quirk yet. So once you fix your control issue you'll be able to do more." Awazia followed up with. He then turned his head towards Natsu.
"And for you Natsu, You're a talented fighter but if you keep causing too much damage or not being able to close out a fight, you could do more harm than saving. Shota, you had a great plan and even when something went wrong you still fought. But like Natsu you couldn't close the fight out." Awazia explained. Both students nodded. Awazia they told the class they have to decide on a class representative.
Mostly everyone became excited about becoming class rep. After a little bit of arguing and debating the election was over, and it was a tie between Momo and Izuka. They decided to settle it with rock paper scissors, Izuka won. Izuka who was cracking under pressure. But regardless it was decided the class rep is Izuka and deputy class rep was Momo.
After the class rep situation was over, the class had lunch. Where they discussed many things like, motive to become a hero. Everything was going well until a level three security breach happened causing the alarms to go off. Everyone started to panic trying to get out of the school. It turns out what caused the breach was just the media from earlier. Nobody noticed except for Iida.
Iida made Ochaco make him float to gather everyone's attention. After telling everyone about the situation, everyone calmed down. After the situation, everyone proceeded back to their class. Izuka and Momo were standing in the front of the class. After a few moments of silence Izuka spoke up.
"I think… that it's best if Iida became class rep… I mean he got everyone to calm down in such an awesome way! So I think it's best if Iida does it." Izuka stated. Most of the class agreed with her, so Iida was now the class rep while Momo's position stayed the same.
"For today's hero training, it will be turned into a class with three instructors. The instructors are All Might, me, and someone else." Awazia stated. The class got more interested in it. A student asked what it is that they will be doing.
We'll be doing… Disasters, shipwrecks, and everything in between. It's rescue training." Awazia followed. The class was now even more invested in it.
"Rescue training… It seems like it'll still be a lot of work this time as well." Kami commented.
"Idiot, this is the duty of a hero! My arms are ready to rumble!" Kiri said excitedly. All the other students started to get hyped up before Awazia said he wasn't finished.
"You can decide if you want to wear your costume or not this time. Because there are probably costumes that limit your ability, too." Awazia finished. The training takes place off campus so the students will have to ride a bus to get there. The class got ready and of course they decided to wear their costumes.
Whoo! I'm so glad my costume is fixed!" Natsu cheered happily.
"It must be nice… Mine are still ripped up. So I gotta wear the gym clothes." Izuka said, a bit gloomy. While the class were talking among themselves, Iida blew a whistle. He ordered the class to get on the bus a certain way, but it didn't work out due to the seating. Regardless, the class still made their way towards the off ground rescue facility.
"Hey Izuka, your Quirk is like All Mights," Tsu said, to Izuka. Naturally Izuka started to panic a bit.
"Wait a minute Tsu, All MIght's Quirk doesn't damage his body like Izuka's. They just look similar." Kiri said. The students on the bus spent most of the ride discussing their quirks. They soon got there, and when they stepped out they bus a person who looked like they just came from space was waiting outside.
"Everyone, I have been waiting for you." The astronaut man said. Everyone gasped realizing who it was.
"It's the Space Hero, Thirteen! The one who saved many from disasters!" Izuka commented!
Wow that's so cool! Do you think I'd be able to fight em?" Natsu asked, to no one in particular. These two weren't the only one's being fan's as many were also talking about the same thing. Thirteen guided them inside the building, and when they got inside they were awed even more.
"This is so coool!" Natsu cheered. The inside of the building had many environments, including. A ship cruise, landside, a fire, a windstorm, and a mountain esk area. The one Natsu wanted to go to was none other than the fire area.
"This is a training ground I made with different types of accidents and disasters. It's called the "Unforeseen Simulation Joint, or USJ for short!" Thirteen exclaimed. Most of the students weren't surprised since it looked so much like USJ. Awazia walked up to Thirteen.
"Hey Thirteen, where's All Might? He was supposed to meet us here." Awazia asked, in his usual tone.
"About that, It looks like he did too much hero work on his way here… and kinda ran out of time. So he's getting some rest." Thirteen explained quietly. Awazia wasn't surprised and had set up precautions already just in case it did happen. Thirteen explained some things to the class, and gave a speech, motivating everyone.
"I definitely won't lose. Katsuka, Shota, and you Izuka. I will beat you all and become number one!" Natsu said. Shota had her ussal no expression face, Katsuka just scoffed and got a bit angry.
"I'm sorry Natsu but I won't lose to you either." Izuka responded. Her and Natsu looked at each other in the eye.
"You know you guys aren't the only one looking to win." Kami said.
"Yeah, It would be unmanly to just let you guys win." Kiri added on. The group was now in an intense feeling with each other not backing down.
While in the midst of it, a man with multiple hands on his face just came from a portal with what looked like an army behind him. It seemed like the students now had something else to worry about rather than training…
_Boop! That's chapter. sorry that, this was a short chapter but we all know what's coming next… Anyway let me know what you guys think of this chapter by leaving a review.(Did you guys that Natsu and Shoto moment?) I know there wasn't really a lot of talking in this chapter and also that this was a slow one. Also do you feel as if this was rushed? I mean… I don't know, maybe it feels that way because of the lack of dialogue, or maybe because I explained a lot rather than have the characters present talk, but the scenes didn't really have any importance to the things planned for Natsu. but I had to get by this one so we can get into some action! So Let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions for this story by also leaving a review.
Reviews
erasenpai946: I do agree with you on Fire being stronger than Ice, but for that part I took a regular Natsu vs Gray fight. Natsu couldn't beat gray Ice all the time with fire alone. There were even episodes where Gray beat Natsu's with his Ice. To me the strength of an Ice user Ice is how strong the Ice user is. and no doubt that Natsu is definitely superior when It comes to physical abilities but Shota is also strong. Fire is usually used to add power while Ice is used more all around(Attack, defence, etc.) So even when the fire user is stronger, if the Ice user is tactful and powerful to I think they can keep up with fire users.
Guest: That would make a lot more sense now thanks for pointing that out! and depending on what people think and want (If most people want them to happen then most likely they will happen, if people don't then they won't.) but if people want that then, that might happen.
Chaotic: The it's so hot that it's cold thing, just bought an Idea to my head just in case I do use it. thanks!
