OST: My Hero Academia – Self-Analysis
It was another morning in the Cykrease kingdom, Victor and Rachael were sitting by the table and talked about the mission Malicious was on yesterday. Mal told them that the Black Moon organization recently became more active, they already had a lot of members. Mal and his squad encountered one of their commanders, the commander also had some of his stronger men with him. Mal tried to evade conflict but the man didn't listen, they fought and both sides suffered casualties, a few men from Mal's squad were killed in battle. From what Malicious found out by the military network, the commander's name was Eliot, he was a Mobian, a wolf to be more precise. His fur was light blue with yellow eyes, he was a water type who could also use the ice element, showing his proficiency in his water element. In contrast to his element, Eliot was very arrogant and cocky, especially in battle. Mal had a hard time against him, especially due to the fact he later found out he was the 3rd strongest among the 10. In the end Mal called reinforcements so Eliot was forced to flee, Mal could defeat him by himself but it would be a tough battle. He also didn't want to risk anymore of his men getting killed
They looked at the clock that was on the wall, it said 08:35
"Goddamnit, isn't he up yet?" Victor sighed in annoyance
"He's gonna be late…" Rachael sighed as well
"I'll wake him up" Victor said before standing up, leaving the kitchen and heading upstairs
He went to Tobias's room and saw his grandson sleeping on his back with both his arms and legs spread, he was snoring and drolling at the same time
Victor came near his bed and hit him in the head with his fist, Tobias's eyes immediately snapped open. The first thing he saw in the morning was the angry face of his grandfather
"OW! That hurt! Didn't anyone taught you to knock on the door grandpa?!" Tobias yelled at him
"It's 08:35 you idiot! You're going to be late!"
Tobias looked at the clock near him and realized his grandfather was right
"OH SHIT!" Tobias jumped out of the bed and immediately ran downstairs, he ran in the kitchen
"Morning grandma!"
"Morning sweetie, how did you sleep?" Rachael stood up and approached her grandson
"I don't have time grandma, I'm gonna be late! See ya!" Tobias said before turning around
"Wait! Breakfast is almost ready!"
"No time! I'll but something outside! See ya!" Before Rachael could say anything Tobias already ran through the doorway outside
Victor also entered the kitchen after Tobias left, he sat by the table and looked at his wife
"You don't have to be so harsh with him Victor! He's still just a kid!" Rachael said
"Even so, he needs to learn responsibility! He can't just do whatever he wants!" Victor talked back
"Honestly, sometimes I find it hard to believe he is Vicious's son. He is NOTHING like him!" Victor sighed
Rachael chuckled
"Well, you're not wrong honey. Tobias may have Vic's appearance but his personality is just like Emily's!"
"Heh, it sure is" Victor smirked
This made Victor remember the first few months Vic and Emily spent with Tobias before their deaths, after Tobias was born Emily spent more time with him than with her husband. This made Vic a little jealous, sure, when Cassandra and Tia were babies they didn't really have time to spend with them since they were already kidnapped by Trolleshi and aged.
Even so, the love Emily had for her son was amazing despite being his mother, even Vic noted that, it seemed like she grew to love Tobias more than him. Emily also noticed that so she decided to make a confession to the entire family, she admitted she loved Tobias even more than she loved the twins.
"Why is that" Vic asked Emily
"Well, Cassandra and Tia are our daughters but they were children created by accident."
Emily held her son and brought him even closer to her face
"Tobias is a child created with nothing but love"
"Well, you're right, but wasn't that accident something that brought us together in the first place?" Vic asked confused
"Well, yeah, but still, I didn't expect Cassandra and Tia to be born that way. Tobias is the son I really wanted to have with you Vic, a son we have waited for 9 months! I love the twins, of course, but I love Tobias even more! I can't deny that anymore!"
It was as if Tobias understood what his mother was saying as he giggled at her, Emily smiled as she brought Tobias's forehead closer to her own and they touched
"That's right sweetie, mommy loves you SO MUCH!" Emily said as she smiled
"Okay, if you say so…" Vic said indifferently
Upon remembering all that Victor couldn't help but smile
"Honestly, I remember all that like it was yesterday…"
Rachael knew what he meant so she smiled as well
OST: Naruto – Afternoon of Konoha
Meanwhile, Tobias was speeding through the kingdom, his blue gate activated
"Shit, shit, shit! I can't be late today!" Tobias thought to himself as he ran as fast as his power allowed him
After a minute he finally made it, he was in front of the double doors that lead in the main building. He gripped the doorknob and tried to open them, they were locked
"Damn it, did they seriously lock already?!" Tobias whined
Tobias took out his phone and started typing a message
Meanwhile the class was about to start, the teacher entered the classroom and put a book on his table
"All right, time for roll call!" the teacher said
Jake was sitting near the window until his phone beeped, he looked at it and saw a message from Tobias
Tobias: Yo Jake, in which room y'all in?
Jake: We're in room 14
Tobias: The door's locked, I'm outside
Jake: Want me to give you a lift?
Tobias: You bet!
Jake: Get in front of the window
Jake put his phone back in the pocket before he focused his energy on the ground that was outside
Tobias got in front of the window before he felt a stone pillar lifting him up, he wasn't fully prepared so he almost fell but managed to keep his balance
"All right, if that's everyone we can st-"
"YO! Don't even think of starting without me!" a voice came from the right side of the classroom, everyone looked towards the source and saw Tobias standing on the window
"Tobias the great has arrived!" he said as he playfully bowed to the public
"Damn it Tobias! Is that any way to enter a classroom?! Not to mention you're late!" the teacher pointed out angrily
"Hell yeah! Straight through the third floor window! Jake's element is super handy for getting around!" Tobias said before jumping in
The teacher sighed heavily, he already got used to Tobias's shenanigans
"Just get in your seat, the test is about to start"
Tobias did as he was told, before he made his way to his seat he high-fived Jake.
He sat there and scanned through the people present, there were many people he knew, the majority of them being his friends
The teacher gave the tests and signaled the start
Math was the subject Tobias hated the most, mostly because he sucked at it. Even though he studied last night he looked through the questions and realized something
He didn't know an answer to a single question
"Oh I am so screwed…" Tobias thought to himself
"Hey, Tobias" someone touched his shoulder
Tobias turned to his left and saw a familiar face, it was Zoe
Zoe was another friend of Tobias, she was a Cykreasian with long, navy blue fur that stretched down her back, light skin and green spirally eyes. She was wearing a yellow t-shirt and purple pants, her shoes were black.
She was a laid-back and cheerful girl, kind and friendly to everyone she meets, due to those qualities she was well-liked by the majority of the class, including Tobias. She was a water type Cykreasian, she was training in mastering the ice element as the more advanced form of water element. She was also one of Tobias's close friends
"Hey Zoe, can you PLEASE help me?" Tobias whispered
"That's why I called you silly! I guess you didn't study at all, so let me help you!"
Tobias smiled
"Thanks! I owe you big time!" Tobias said
There were groups for the test so the teacher could make sure nobody could cheat, however Zoe was always good in math so she helped Tobias. The teacher was walking through the classroom so they had to be cautious, whenever he looked away Zoe would whisper the answer to Tobias. Tobias would write it down ASAP, 70% was the passing grade, Tobias made sure he got at least that. Zoe also managed to finish her own test, even though she helped Tobias she managed to answer almost every question
They finished a bit earlier so they handed over the test and left the classroom, after they left the class Tobias immediately hugged Zoe. This caused her to blush, she didn't tell anyone about it and tried to hide it but she had a crush on Tobias for a while now
"Zoe, you're a lifesaver! If it wasn't for you I couldn't face my grandpa!"
Zoe was still blushing but after a few seconds she recomposed herself
"O-Oh, no problem Tobias. I already passed all the subjects so I don't have to worry!" Zoe proclaimed happily
"Man, Ieally hope I can pass math cuz I REALLY wanna graduate this shit! I wanna go and fight on missions, not be confined in a classroom!" Tobias proclaimed loudly
Zoe put a hand on Tobias's mouth
"Please be quiet, there are people still taking the test" Zoe said
"Oh, sorry!" Tobias smiled as he rubbed the back of his head with his hand
Tobias grabbed Zoe by her hands
"You wanna go for lunch? My treat!" Tobias grinned
Zoe blushed again, this caused Tobias to make a confused expression
"You okay Zoe? You got a fever or something?" Tobias put his hand on her forehead
"O-Oh no, I'm fine. Let's go!" Zoe shook both her head and hands, she was still blushing
"O..kay! Let's go to the cafeteria! If we don't get there now we're gonna end up on some lousy seats!" Tobias grabbed her hand and ran, Zoe had no choice but to run with him
OST: Naruto Shippuden – Explanation
At the Cykreasian military base the mood wasn't quite as relaxed, the scouts were around the kingdom. Keeping guard in case any of the Black Moon soldiers or commanders arrive, they were under direct command by general Malicious. Meanwhile, the other 2 generals were discussing options
"What do we do if they attack again?" said general Travis
Travis is a wind type Cykreasian, his fur is green with turquoise spirally eyes and his skin is light. His fur was a bit longer than usual, reaching his shoulders but not going below that. He wore the standard Cykreasian uniform, consisting of turquoise jacket, aqua blue pants and black shoes. He was a calm and composed person, however there was something about him that Mal thought was weird. He seemed kinda shady, as Mal put it.
Alia was a female general, she was a fire type Cykreasian. She had coral fur and yellow spirally eyes, the fur on her head was short, not even reaching her shoulders. She was also wearing the typical Cykreasian uniform, she was goofy and cheerful, however she could be serious when the time called for it.
"For now, I sent my scouts to investigate in case the Black Moon is planning something. If they notice anything suspicious they will call me, the moment they do I will send reinforcements. For now, it's important they stay unnoticed, if anyone from the Black Moon sees them there's a possibility they would call for backup as well."
OST: Holoska – Cool Edge Night – Sonic Unleashed
At that moment Mal's communicator beeped, Mal immediately clicked on it
"General Mal! There are members of the Black Moon attacking us! We need backup right away!" one of the soldiers said
"Of course! I will send them immediately!" with that the call ended
Mal used his communicator again to call the captains of 2 squads
"Darren, Ahito! I need you to assist squad Falcon on the east side of the kingdom, they have been attacked by Black Moon soldiers! I will send you the coordinates"
"Roger!" that was the last thing said before Mal's communicator turned off
"You can go home now Mal, you've been here the whole day! Markus must be waitning for you!" Alia added
"Are you sure? What if something happens while I'm gone?"
"That's why we're here, we will intervene if something happens. You deserve a break" Travis said
"All right then, see you tomorrow!" Mal said before making his way out of the base
OST: Eternal Sonata – Your Circumstances
After 5 minutes he was out, on his way home he could hear his phone going off, he took it out and pressed the button to take the call
"Daddy, where are you?"
"I'm on my way home Marcus, just wait for a little bit more!" Mal said with a smile
4 years after The Overlord Attack Malicious met a girl named Kate, she was a lieutenant in the army. She was transferred in Mal's squad and after a few missions they fell in love with each other, she was a lightning type Cykreasian. She had purple fur on her head that was average in length, it reached her back but didn't go straight down. She had coffee brown spirally eyes and pale light skin, she was quite talented in her lightning element as well. She was very brave and outgoing, therefore she kinda reminded Mal of Emily. After a few dates Kate and Mal were officially together, the chemistry between them was very strong. Victor and Rachael loved her, she was also very kind to Tobias, Tobias remembered her to this day. After 2 months Mal proposed to her on the same place Vic proposed to Emily and held a wedding there, a few days after Kate got pregnant and it seemed like they had a bright future ahead of them.
However, it didn't last for long
When Kate was about to give birth the doctors said it was very risky and there was a high chance Kate would die, Kate didn't give in and wanted to have a child so the doctors respected her wish. Mal was there and encouraged her saying everything would be okay, he was wrong.
Kate died shortly after giving birth to Marcus, the cause was blood loss. She asked Mal to promise her he would take care of their son, that moment painfully reminded Mal of his promise he gave to Emily back then.
Of course, he accepted but it didn't heal the wound on his heart. To this very day he visits her grave every week, along with Vic's and Emily's.
As a father Malicious was very protective of his son, he would also teach him fighting moves so he could defend himself if he had any problems with bullies. In terms of appearance Marcus looked similarly to his father, with an exception of his fur being purple and his eyes being coffee brown like his mother's. He was also a lightning type since Mal's attacks were based on pure energy instead of elemental.
After 15 minutes Mal finally made it home, he took out his keys and unlocked the door. The moment he did he was immediately embraced by his son who immediately jumped on him before Mal could even close the door, Mal held him and lifted him up to the level of his face. They both smiled at each other
"How was work daddy?" Marcus asked curiously
"It was fine, there were some situations though but nothing daddy couldn't handle!" Mal said before putting his son down
"Are we gonna visit grandma and grandpa tomorrow?" Marcus asked while skippin on his legs with excitement
"Of course! Tommorow after I'm done with my duties we can pay them a visit!" Mal said
"Is big bro Tobias gonna be there too?"
Mal smirked
"He sure will, he doesn't have any classes tomorrow!"
After hearing that Marcus's eyes beamed with excitement
"Yay! I can't wait to see him!"
Tobias and Marcus were more than just cousins, they were like brothers. Tobias was one of the first people to hold Marcus after he was born, he was 5 back then so Mal had to observe him while he held his son.
Tobias loved spending time with him when he was a baby, he played with him a lot and even taught him some words. When he grew up a little Tobias carried him on his back the same way his grandfather did, the two of them grew very close over time. Marcus will enroll in the CFA a year after Tobias finishes since they are 5 years apart from each other, unlike his cousin, Marcus is considerably smarter so Mal believed he wouldn't have much problems there.
"Wash your hands Marcus, it's dinnertime!" Mal patted his son on the head, Marcus did as he was told and ran to the bathroom
Meanwhile Mal put on the table the stuff he bought while coming here and began thinking what to prepare
It was evening, Tobias was making his way home in a slower pace compared to the one in the morning.
Before he went home he spent some more time with Zoe, he loved spending time with her the same way he did with Jake and Alviss. However, Tobias viewed Zoe as a friend while Zoe had feelings for Tobias since 4 years ago.
OST: Sonic Adventure - Sadness
Zoe comes from the Liquidum family, it's a family in the Cykrease kingdom that specializes in water and ice element. However the family was divided into aqua house and icy house, the head of the family (who is Zoe's uncle, the brother of her father) believed the ice element is superior to water. Only those born with the above average water element (which included ice techniques) would be accepted in the Icy house.
Since Zoe was born with an average water element she was placed in the aqua house. The members of the aqua house were heavily discriminated by the Icy House members, they were sometimes even attacked. Zoe's parents were killed by her own uncle when she was only 3 years old, they tried to rebel against the Icy house for their mistreatment. The worst part was that Zoe saw it all from the side, from the window of the Aqua house, and all because her uncle didn't allow any complaints from the inferior house.
That wasn't the only time Aqua house members tried to rebel, when Vic and Emily were still alive the Aqua house had enough of their mistreatment. The Icy house wanted to end them as well, in the end Vic had to intervene to prevent an all-out civil war within the family
Both Vic and Emily knew Zoe's uncle, Emily even described him as "a total piece of shit"
After that incident Zoe was shy and quiet, which caused her to get bullied by both some of the neighborhood kids and some of the Icy house members.
When she was 6 years old she was attacked by 3 neighborhood kids, she tried to defend herself but they managed to beat her down. One of the kids tried to stomp on her but he felt a rock hit him in the face, it wasn't an ordinary rock, it felt like a electric shock
When the boy looked to the side he saw Tobias tossing up and down another rock that was already electrified and ready for use
"Ganging up on a girl like that? That ain't manly at all…"
"And why do you care Tobias? She's just a weakling" the kid said
Tobias ran in front of Zoe
"Well, if you want her you'll have to go through me first!" Tobias said as he stood in battle stance
The older boy smirked and primed his fist to punch Tobias in the face, Tobias jumped and did a front flip, electrifying his leg and kicking the kid on the top of the head. The kid was almost dropped to the ground, he quickly recovered and stomped on the ground, causing a small earthquake to occur.
This made Tobias realize the bully was an earth type
This caused Tobias to fall on the ground, the older boy used that chance to kick him while he was down.
However Tobias shot 2 streams of lightning straight in his eyes, damaging his optic nerves and making him blind for 15 seconds.
Tobias used that chance to put a palm on his torso and electrocute him again, this time, the kid got knocked out and fell on the ground
The other 2 were scared now, that kid was the strongest out of the 3. They were backing off from Tobias, Tobias just extended his fist and coated it in electricity
"Who's up for more?"
This immediately made the 2 kids get out of his sight
He then turned and approached Zoe who was still on the ground, shaking in pain, at first Zoe was afraid Tobias might hit her too. However she was surprised when Tobias extended his hand to her
"Are you okay?" Tobias asked with a smile on his face
"Huh…yeah…thank you" Zoe grabbed Tobias's hand and got up, it was winter and Tobias was wearing a white jacket, orange jeans and a red scarf on his neck
Zoe meanwhile wore a purple sweater and black jeans, she wasn't as clothed as Tobias was, Tobias noticed that
"Are you cold? Here, you can have my scarf" Tobias took off his scarf and wrapped it around Zoe's neck, this caused Zoe to blush
No one was ever so kind to her, even the members of the Aqua house were indifferent towards her
"Anyway, I'm Tobias. Nice to meet ya!" Tobias smiled at her once again
"I'm Zoe, thank you for helping me" she said with a small smile on her face
"No problem! I couldn't just watch them beat you down could I? Besides you put up a good fight! You have courage and I like you!" Tobias smiled
This caused Zoe to blush again, she already considered him a friend after he saved her, but now she felt something even more
"Uhh, it's getting cold here. Where do you live?" Tobias asked
"Well, it's not far. It's south from here" Zoe said
"You want me to take you home?" Tobias offered
"Okay"
"Lead the way Zoe!" Tobias smirked
The two made their way towards Zoe's home, as the years passed by Zoe became more confident and secure thanks to Tobias's influence
OST: My Hero Academia – Akaruku genki ni
After 30 minutes he arrived home and knocked on the door, Rachael stood up and approached them, she opened it and saw Tobias standing right in front of her.
"How was the test sweetie?" Rachael asked
Tobias lifted his head up, revealing a massive grin on his face
"I PASSED!" Tobias exclaimed loudly and showed her the paper which read 85%
"Oh congratulations Tobias!" Rachael hugged her grandson, Tobias immediately hugged her back
Victor also approached them by now
"Let me guess, you cheated" Victor said in a playful manner, he was also happy his grandson finally passed it
That comment caused Rachael to turn around and punch her husband in the hand
"VICTOR!"
"Ow, I was just kidding! Jeez!"
"What's for dinner grandma? I'm starving!" Tobias proclaimed
"I prepared some chicken and fries, they're in the kitchen" Rachael said
Fried chicken and fries were Tobias's favorite, after washing his hands he went to the kitchen along with his grandparents
Honestly, I thought this would take longer to write than this, but here it is. Chapter 8 is finally done!
I know the recent 2 chapters weren't as action packed (at least not as 5th and 6th) but that's gonna change from the next chapter, as I said in chapter 6 there will be a 6 year time skip in chapter 9.
So, yeah, Tobias finally graduates from CFA, meets new friends etc. Our prince will face many new obstacles on his path, which ones? Find out in the upcoming chapters!
