Chapter 24 Hero's Heart
In a mad science laboratory an evil genius studies a triple layer burger while the computer next to him analyzes its make up. The scientist rubs his hands together as he cackles maniacally, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I've done it. My ingenious plan to get a hold of Makudaro's new secret formula is almost complete! In just a few short minutes my supercomputer will be done analyzing the new Triple Maku! Once I have the formula, I'll add my OWN ingredient to the concation, turning ALL who eat it into my loyal minions after just one bite!" He dramatically exclaimed as he turned to the computer seeing that the analysis was 98% complete. His lips formed a villainous grin, "All of Japan will be mine by the end of the week!" He loudly boasted.
A strong breeze filled the lab, almost knocking the scientist over, followed by a loud alert going off, he suddenly turned to the computer which read "Unable to scan, analysis failed". "What just happened!" He exclaimed in shock as he turned to the display holding the burger, a look of shock edged on his face when he saw that it was gone. "Where's the Triple Maku?!" He cried out with his voice echoing across the lab.
"Gotta admit it was a good plan." A strong voice came out of nowhere. The scientist turned to the voice and saw ONE holding the Triple Maku, "Too bad there was just ONE flaw in it."
"Curse you ONE! You foiled my plans!" He exclaimed dramatically.
ONE smiled confidently, holding the burger in his left hand. "Your plans were foiled when you decided to ruin good food!" He declared as he cocked back a fist. "Air Bullet: Shotgun!" He fired a barrage of shockwaves with one arm punches, the mad doctor crashed into the wall behind him, he fell out of the wall leaving numerous imprints around the outline of his body. ONE smiled confidently before taking a bite of the burger and turning his head to a camera.
"Aaaand CUT!" The director called out effectively ending the scene.
The film crew then began to move around to do their respective jobs. ONE swallowed the food in his mouth as the director approached him, "Good job ONE."
The hero nodded his head, "Thank you so much. So, are we done filming?"
"Yeah, that should be all we need." He said with a smile, he then crossed his arms. "Has anyone ever told you you're a natural at this? I admit when I was told I'd be directing you I suspected this to take longer, but was surprisingly quick."
"Well if i'm being perfectly honest this was my first time doing any sort of professional acting. I was actually pretty curious to what the story arc the commercial would have."
"Surprisingly the company hasn't done too many hero themed campaigns. But they made a special case for you I guess, and you knocked this out of the park."
"Thank you again. So, is it okay if I take off now? A hero's always on the move after all."
Yeah you're fine, all we have to do is edit now. This should be on TV and online in about two weeks."
"Awesome. Thank you for the opportunity."
"No, thank YOU. This was a lot of fun ONE, and thanks for the autograph." He said with sincerity.
"You bet. Can I keep the sandwich?" He asked, raising the burger.
"Sure."
"See you around my guy." He said before leaping away.
ONE ate the burger as he flew across the sky with Sky Walk, once he was finished he got an alert on the app of a situation in Chiba, so he headed over. Though he wasn't too familiar with the city, once he got there he could tell something was off. As he watched high from the sky he could see a ruckus in the southeast part of the city. A giant black bear was tearing through the city with beastial ferocity. It was crushing cars under its paws while frantic people ran for their lives to escape as its massive body cracked the pavement beneath it. Local heroes were doing their best to contain or at least stop it from continuing its rampage. One swipe of its massive paws could bring death to the several heroes who got in its way. In a flash of speed ONE was on the ground in the path of the raging beast, he outstretched his right hand and released a focused wave of his Power Aura onto the bear. The aggressive look in its eye instantly became one of fear, all its animal instincts were promising death if it continued its course while its fur stood on end.
ONE wasn't surprised that the bear had begun to slow down, the look of fear in its eyes was prevalent as it stopped running completely and began a calm, submissive walk. It never took its eyes off of him, possibly afraid of what the hero would do if it did. Looking at the bear he wasn't surprised to see a black bear in this part of the country, however he WAS surprised that the bear, which was at least 10x the normal size, began to shrink. It reached the normal size for its species as it drug its feet towards the hero before finally stopping in front of his hand. After seeing the bear was in a fully calm, submissive state, ONE stopped his technique and placed a gentle hand on the bear's head, "Good bear. Now sit down." He said calmly with the bear doing what it was told.
Once it seemed the chaos had finally stopped, which was a shock to the people in the area, civilians along with pros and police descended on the scene. Now that he had a moment to look around, the damage wasn't as bad as he originally thought, he spread his senses and sensed no one was in immediate life threatening danger. Several heroes and police approached him, most notably the Eye-Gun Hero: X-Less, they weren't necessarily friends but they could at least be civil. "Hello ONE." The hero said casually.
Hey there X-Less, you seem to be doing well." He responded in a friendly, casual tone.
The laser-man rubbed his injured shoulder, "Well I'm not dead, so that's something. Thanks for the help, I'm assuming someone alerted you of this big bastard and that's what brought you to our neck of the woods."
"You would be correct sir, I got an alert saying a big "effing" bear was going Rampage the game out here. So I headed over."
A female hero perked up, "How did you stop the bear? I saw you just standing there while it just stopped and did what you said."
"I'm also curious." A detective from Chiba P.D chimed in. "You may be legal now but you're not allowed to use your quirk, ONE." He said sternly with crossed arms.
"Relax officer, I just used my willpower to scare him into submission." He stated casually.
Everyone around who heard his explanation was bewildered by what he just said. ONE sighed, "It's not that complicated, It's merely a martial arts technique. When your body, mind and spirit are strong you can learn to manipulate your willpower into a physical energy and project it onto others. Simple to explain, very difficult to do. However, this particular technique at its basic level does one of two things, intimidates others into submission, or knocks them out. I chose the former when dealing with Kyobo here." He gestured to the bear.
"Kyobo?" X-Less said surprised.
"What? He needs a name doesn't he? Plus he's a quirked animal, a very rare thing. I assume his quirk manifested and the shock of it freaked him out. Y'know according to a study, quirks can manifest in animals at around the same age as people, you can tell he's a very young bear.
All took a good look at the bear, "You're right. I remember reading about an asiatic lion that can produce aura clones of itself." One of the officers added.
"I read about that too." ONE included. Turning back to the sitting bear, "So what are we going to do with him?"
"Animal rights is enroute. He'll most likely be taken to a research facility specifically made to house animals like this on an island in the pacific. They can study him and the island is big enough for him to still roam wild." The detective answered.
"That's a relief." ONE said as he looked out to the setting sun. "I'm gonna help clean up." He said before going to the damaged area to help out.
The next day
After finishing his morning workout, Izuku got a call from Momo. She and her classmates were going to swim at UA's pool today and he was welcome to join them. They have it from 3-5 so he agreed to meet up with them at the gate a little before that. Eri wanted to go to Kanna's house so he decided to drop her off before going on patrol for a couple of hours. His mom would be out running errands, but she should be back by the time Eri wanted to come home. He put her green wig on and dressed her in a white t-shirt with pink sleeves, light blue jean short shorts and gray sneakers. The two left the house and made their way to Kanna's, they held hands and the two talked about various things. To his surprise Eri didn't know what a birthday was, since she came to live with them the police looked for records of her birth but they came up empty. Everyone figured she was no older than seven or eight but still, to think she's never celebrated her own birthday let alone knew it broke his heart.
They arrived at Kanna's apartment and the maid Tohru answered the door, they were both welcomed in to see Kanna and her other friend Riko Saikawa playing together in the living room. Eri has told him a thing or two about Saikawa. To him it seems she's a little jealous Kanna has another friend, but seeing her welcome Eri showed she's warming up to her. He was happy about that because he wanted her to have more friends, after a little talking with Tohru he left the apartment. He found a secluded spot and got into his beta suit, alerted he was on patrol on the app and flew across the sky with Sky Walk.
At UA High
In a conference room the faculty of UA which included Nezu, Eraserhead, Vlad King, Present Mic and All Might in his skinny form sat together. Nezu was at the head of the table and in front of everyone were three applications for the hero course all ranging from within five years, the biggest similarity is that all three of the applicants were quirkless. The applicants were Sanji Ryori, Shigeo Megane and Izuku Midoriya. The chimera cupped his paws together, "First off I'd like to thank all of you for coming to this meeting, I know that several of you are busy so for you to take time out of your schedules for this is appreciated."
Vlad put a fist to his chin as he held one of the applications, "What is this about exactly?"
"I'll cut straight to the point. After a conversation with Eraserhead, as well as other factors, I believe one of these three individuals are ONE." These words surprised everyone in the room.
"What!" The blood hero said in disbelief before turning to the papers. "What makes you think ONE, of ALL people, could be quirkless?"
Eraserhead perked up, "My student has superhuman prowess as a result of training, completely unrelated to her quirk. I met her teacher and long story short I learned that it's possible to gain such power just from training."
"Okay, but ONE's power goes far beyond just superhuman prowess." Vlad stated.
"We may not have all the explanations, but given how Eraserhead's quirk has no effect on him, coupled with no detection of a quirk factor, as impossible as it seems it's the only theory the remains." Nezu responded.
Everyone took in the principals words, Nezu turned to All Might who had a look of discontent while looking at a specific application, "Something wrong All Might?"
All Might held the application, looking at with unease, "I know this kid." He said holding Izuku Midoriya's application.
"Midoriya huh? At this point he's my main suspect." Eraser stated.
Present Mic looked at the application, instantly recognizing the face, "Yo! I recognize this kid! He was at Hero Con with Yaoyorozu and he did a "killer" impression of you!" He exclaimed happily while looking at All Might.
All Might glanced at the other hero, "Well I'll have to address THAT later, but I'm talking about the fact that I've seen this kid around town. I see him at Dagobah beach from time to time, he's actually the one who cleaned it over a year ago. AND he was at I-Island during the recent crisis, he was with a friend of Melissa's."
Eraser narrowed his eyes at those words as he looked at the greenettes hero course application. This was sent in months in advance and around the time ONE started appearing, he went to the same middle school as Bakugo, he was dating Yaoyorozu, trained with the same martial arts master as her and he saw for himself the boy was strong. He remembered when he was a guest at UA and helped some of his students train for the Sports Festival, those particular students' quirks have improved significantly more than the others since then. Now come to find out he was at I-Island at the same time ONE was, it couldn't have been a coincidence. "This is him..I'm sure of it." He said confidently.
"Hold it a minute Eraserhead, think for a moment, these boys are quirkless. Even if they've trained there's a limit to how far they can go without a quirk. That's the whole reason we don't accept quirkless applicants."
The hero looked at his fellow teacher with a stern expression, "Vlad, it's that way of thinking that may have created ONE in the first place."
"I remember writing a letter to him after this was transferred, I thought it prudent, but from his perspective this must have felt like blantent discrimination." Nezu said with shame.
All Might's eyes went wide as memories flashed through his mind, "Everyone had unilaterally decided my dream was impossible, they wouldn't even give me a chance to TRY and prove them wrong! My peers, teachers, HEROES all told me to give it up. Over and over and over again my dreams were constantly stomped in the dirt and no one ever cared how much that hurt." He then remembered his fight with ONE, "Why won't you let me help you?!"
"Because you're just like everyone else, All Might. You say you want to help, but where was that when I needed it? You say I can be a hero, but where were those words when I needed to hear them?"
He remembered meeting MIdoriya as All Might at I-Island, "Have we met, young man?"
"Once.. But it's not worth remembering. "
The skinny man gripped the paper, his eyes locked on the face of the green haired boy. His eyes threaten to pop out of his head as his brain connects the image and plays another memory. It was over a year ago, he had just defeated a villain with a sludge quirk…And met a boy. "Good job staying calm young man, this villain had given a bunch of pros a hard time earlier today, but you kept your head."
"Thank you for the praise, I've had some good mental training. Hey All Might, can I ask you something?"
"Sure, I believe I can spare a minute or two, what is it?"
"Well the thing is, can you be a hero if you're quirkless? I"ve always wanted to be one, I still believe I can be and I've been working most of my life for that goal. People love to mock and berate me for trying because I'm just a normal kid. So can I be a hero like you even if I don't have a quirk?"
"Young man, I'm going to be straight with you. The world of heroics is very dangerous and without a quirk of your own I don't think it would be best for you to be in it. I'm sorry. It's ok to dream, and I can tell from looking at you that you've worked hard, but realistically you can only get so far when you're facing a powerful villain with a strong quirk. You should look for another career path, I have to get this villain to the police, take care."
His thoughts shifted to the rooftop after he told ONE about OFA, "ONE..Tell me what happened to you, please let me help?"
"It's too late…You had your chance. I'm just getting started, and I NEVER give up."
All Might lowered his head in shame. He had no words as his thoughts came together and he was forced to admit that ONE was absolutely right about him, about everything. ONE is something he never could have been, he was once powerless, but with the inheritance of power he's become too dependent on it. He himself was once a quirkless kid who wanted to be a hero, he would've made it happen even if no one else believed in him. And the one person who DID, opened the gates for everything he's become uptil now. He knows he's lucky more than anyone else, in his career as a hero he's sure that without OFA he'd probably be dead by now. Without OFA, his ambition would have amounted to just that, ambition. ONE was right, he IS like everyone else.
Present Mic looked at the paper, "Well we've got three names here, are we so sold on this Midoriya kid?"
"I've done a background check on all of them, these were the only quirkless applicants to ever pursue the hero course. Though shamefully I say that loosely as they weren't given a chance to try." Nezu said in a pained tone. "Ryori owns a restaurant in Tokyo, Megane is currently a second year student at Tohoku University, while Midoriya is a first year student at Sakai Highschool."
"Sakai huh? The kid's gotta be pretty smart to get in there?" Vlad commented.
"I did a little extra digging and found he's in their top class and is one of their best students."
"So where do we go from here? These are just suspicions and even if they're true, ONE's legal now. So is this necessary?" Present Mic asked.
Nezu took a moment to ponder his question, "He's made his feelings very clear about UA, the pros and the system in general. Taking all that we know into account it's perfectly understandable and he has every right to feel the way he does." He said solemnly. "However, this shows one of many cracks in hero society. If we are to move forward together and create change in a positive way we must make an effort to find common ground. Change can be difficult, especially when emotions, biases and social norms are involved. But the first step starts with healthy communication, making a genuine effort to understand people and listen to them, not just hear. I want to meet ONE, and talk to him face to face without his cowl and take that first step. Some of you may know about the rough history that is my past, and I can tell you ONE person truly CAN make a difference. And it all starts from there."
UA gate
ONE had gotten a lot of work done over the past couple hours. He stopped a bank robbery, found a kidnapped person, stopped a carjacking and even took the time out to play basketball with some guys in Tokyo when he had some free time. Now he was back in Musutafu and out of costume, he met up with Momo and her friends and was waiting outside the UA gate for a guest pass. The school provided the towel so he just brought his own black and red school swim trunks, after a little over five minutes Momo came back with the pass and they headed to the pool. He playfully tried to weasel out of her what she was getting him for his birthday, but she held him off.
They made it to the pool and he quickly got changed, he was the first to come out and was impressed at the size of UA's pool, a nice olympic sized pool. Course his school had a whole natatorium with more than one and a diving pool so THEY win. As he was enjoying the sun's radiance the girls came out, all in UA school swimsuits. They all lined up and started to do stretches, he was on the other side of Momo when he sensed several presences and a moment later several guys came outside.
"Hey boys." Ashido greeted them, surprised to see them.
"Hello ladies, you're here to use the pool as well I see." Iida said with a chop, wearing a swim cap and goggles.
"Yep, since we can't travel during break we figured this was a great way to enjoy the summer." Hagakure happily stated.
"And I'm here as a guest." Izuku said as he stretched.
"Hello Midoriya, I welcome you to UA's swimming pool. The boys and I are here for endurance training, when you're done with the girls you're welcome to join us."
"Thanks Iida, I may take you up on that." He continued to stretch with the girls, "Are all the boys coming today?
"Actually I got a text from Shinso saying he, Minetta and Kaminari were doing this, so I thought it would be great if everybody joined in."
"Interesting." He said just as he sensed two people bolting for the door to the pool and outcame Kaminari and Minetta. They were both disappointed to see the other guys here, even more so to learn Shinso's the one who tipped off Iida.
"Was I not supposed to do that?" The brainwashing teen asked rhetorically, fully knowing why the two wanted to come out here.
"Whatever! We still get the sight of skimpy swimsuits!" Minetta exclaimed.
"I'll burn the image into my heart!" Kaminari added as they both turned in the direction of the girls stretching.
"Hey, hi Minetta." Asui said as she stretched.
"I didn't know you'd be here." Jiro added.
Kaminari lowered his head, depressed they were wearing school swimsuits, "I can't believe there isn't a single bikini, foiled again."
Minetta on the other hand wasn't too upset with this, "You know, school swimsuits are pretty hot."
"Have some standards dude!" Kainari shot back.
Iida went over to them and scoped them up, "Minetta, Kaminari, I thank you for suggesting this, you're an asset to our class." He brought the two to the other boys kicking and screaming.
Minetta saw the girls jumping in the pool, and to his burning jealousy Midoriya. "Wait a minute, what about Midoriya?!"
"He's a guest to our school. He said may join us later though."
The perverted partners just looked at the greenette splashing with Yaoyorozu and Ashido with a combination of jealousy, envy and pure rage.
For the next hour and a half, the girls and Izuku had done nothing but play on one side of the pool. On the other side the boys were swimming laps and he could feel the piercing glare of Kaminari and Minetta the entire time. He was getting along well with the girls, they had good talks as they goofed off. All was going well when he saw the boys were taking a break, "Hey girls, I'm gonna go talk to the boys, be right back."
"Alright Midori~!" Ashido said with glee.
Izuku chuckled lightly, closed his eyes and weakly smiled, "Well looks like I'm stuck with that nickname. Be back in a bit." He said before exiting the pool and walking over to the boys.
Once the girls thought he was out of earshot an interesting conversation started up, "Alright he's gone, now it's just YOU and us!" Ashido said happily in a low, sly voice looking directly at Momo.
"W-wait what are you talking about?" The black haired girl questioned, surprised.
She pointed a thumb behind her at the walking away Izuku, "That god-bod, plus that bulge in his trunks." Her eyes morphed into a mischievous, lustful look. "Aren't YOU~ a lucky girl?" Her smile was telling as Momo blushed while feeling the eyes of her friends falling on her.
Izuku had made it to the boys, and he could hear his girlfriend's dilemma. He sighed as he long since accepted the the pros and cons of well endowment, Plus Ashido had been stealing glances at him this whole time. "Sorry love, I'll make it up to you later." He thought. He sat with Ojiro, Tokoyami and Shoji, "Whats up guys."
"Hey Midoriya." Ojiro welcomed him as he handed him an energy drink, "You done hanging out with the girl? I'm a little envious." The tailed boy smiled.
Izuku took the can, "Hey, it's a hot day and my awesome girlfriend invited me out. You guys have really been putting work in, going Plus Ultra I see."
Ojiro flexed his bicep, "You know it. I was just telling these two how I've basically been living at the gym."
"I can definitely see the results. You're more cut than you were when we first met."
"Thanks."
"The training camp approaches, we must all remain focused." Tokoyami commented.
"That being said how have you been spending your break Midoriya?" Shoji asked.
"I've been relaxing. Training, dabbling in my hobbies, just enjoying myself you know."
The multi-armed teen's mouth appendage spoke, "Weren't you at Hero Con?"
Izuku sheepishly rubbed the back of his head, "Yeah that was me. I really wasn't expecting that to be all over the internet."
"Hm, it WAS humorous." Tokoyami coolly stated.
"It was a good impression, Midoriya." Ojiro agreed.
Izuku chuckled and had a laugh with the boys, all the while he could sense the piercing aura of Minetta who was giving him a look of incredulousness. Kaminari, who was sitting next to him, took a swing of his drink and addressed his friend, "Yeah keep staring at him, I'm sure he'll catch fire if you keep it up."
"I just don't get it. How is he so cool?" He asked with desperation.
Kaminari closed his eyes and crossed his arms behind his head, "I don't know, some guys just have it I guess." He said as he turned to the greenette in question who's circle now included Shinsou, Sato, Sero and Iida.
"You guys have a training camp coming up right, looking forward to it?" Izuku asked the group as a whole.
Iida chopped as he answered, "Indeed. I've been looking forward to it, a camp dedicated to strengthening our quirks, inching closer to becoming heroes worthy of UA's reputation, IT CAN'T COME FAST ENOUGH!" He exclaimed happily with multiple chops.
"Iida's right, I've been looking forward to this all semester." Ojiro added.
Shinsou and Tokoyami gave a similar "Hm" in agreement while Sero and Sato had looks of discontent.
"Is there something wrong you two?" Izuku asked.
Sero's face said it all as he struggled to let the words out, "Well we kinda failed the final. We still get to go to camp but we have to do hellish remedial classes with Mr Aizawa."
"Wow. Good luck with that."
"I know right!" Sero lowered his head depressed.
Izuku had sensed a presence heading for the pool, he heard the door to the outside open and didn't have to turn around to know who ONE of them was. Turning back to the down elbowed teen, "Well don't look at it as a failure, look at it as an extra chance to learn and get better."
"Speaking of better, I've been doing the training you recommended regularly, Midoriya. Since that first training session I've set and broken new records multiple times now and my quirks endurance has increased." Iida said with a chop.
"That's great Iida." Izuku smiled in response.
"What the hell are you doing here you DAMN nerd!" Came the growl of none other than Bakugo.
Izuku turned to face the blonde who was aggressively making his way towards him, "Isn't it obvious, I'm enjoying this beautiful pool on this hot summer day."
His eyes went white as his glare deepened, Kirishima quickly cut him off, "Sorry we're late. It took a while to convince Bakugo to come down."
"That's surprising he even showed up." Izuku said aloud.
"So, Deku. You wanna settle who's the best between us right now? Huh"! He said with a natural glare while making small explosions in his hands.
"Sorry, your fragile ego and cheap pride mean VERY little to me." He said casually, angering the blonde and stunning most of the boys.
Iida put a finger to his chin, "Come to think of it, we could make this training a contest." He shot his hand in the air, "Everyone I propose a race to see who can swim fifty meters the fastest."
The faces of all the boys lit up as excitement washed over the group. Ojiro asked if they could use their quirks with Bakugo locking onto Izuku with a malicious grin when the answer was yes. He then walked up to the taller teen, "I'm gonna annihilate you Deku." He declared before turning to Todoroki, "And you too Icy-Hot, you bastard."
The first race had Bakugo win without actually swimming, the second race was Todoroki using his ice to slide across the water, once again, the winner didn't actually swim in a swimming contest. The third race was Iida, Izuku, Ojiro, Shoji and Shinsou, Momo was officiating with a whistle. After ready, set, go and a whistle blown the race was on, most of the boys dove in the water, Iida however was sliding along the lane lines and using his quirk to jet himself forward. Those observing were surprised Iida would do it too, Iida was confident in his victory. Izuku was in the lane next to him and decided to use Blue Walk. With a combination of front crawl and a double kick, there was a burst in the water as Izuku shot past Iida and made it to the finish.
"Wow, Midoriya totally flipped the script." Ashido cheered.
"I thought Iida had that one too." Ururaka chimed in.
"That's my bae~." Momo said proudly with a smile.
Izuku went over to Iida and helped him out of the pool, "You beat me, an impressive showing Midoriya."
"Thanks, you did good to Iida."
After everything had settled The three winners had gathered together, "Bakugo, Midoriya, Todoroki, as the winners of each heat you'll fight for first place, understand?" Iida said.
After agreeing and some noise from Bakugo they all lined up ready to race, each got in the starting positions, "One blast is all it's gonna take." The blonde thought confidently.
Todoroki coated his right arm in ice ready to begin, "I'll slide right past them."
Izuku got ready to dive, "Better make this quick if HE'S coming. "I'll win this with Blue Walk."
"On your marks, get set..GO!"
All three jumped, Todoroki and Bakugo who attempted to use their quirks just landed in the water like dead fish. Izuku however jetted through the water like a torpedo before stopping at the end, turning back to the other end he saw Eraserhead had come out and erased the others' quirks. He got out of the water and made his woy towards the group, " Looks like I win."
"Like hell it does NERD!" Bakugo roared
Izuku was unfazed when the blonde was suddenly yelling in his face, "You lost, get over it."
"You didn't beat me! You're not better than me, damn it! If he hadn't stopped the race I would have crushed you, you quirkless reject!"
"He didn't stop the race, he just erased your quirks. So you're saying without your quirk you don't have a chance of beating me?" His words stunned the ash blonde, "You don't have to answer, we both have always known." He said casually as he walked past the dumbfounded blonde.
Most watching the scene were concerned at the aggression from the ash blonde, even more surprised at how unfazed Midoriya was at such hostility. Bakugou snapped out of it as his anger came back to him, "DEKU!" He roared as he lunged at the greenette from behind. Izuku quickly spun and deflected the blonde's grab, he then grabbed his wrist with his right hand and twisted it before grabbing his tricep and gently throwing him into the middle of the pool.
After a moment the blonde came out of the water giving the other teen a death glare, Izuku ignored him as he went on his way with his sudden action surprising all but Momo. He was about to walk to the locker room with the other boys when he was stopped by Eraserhead, "Midoriya, do you have some time?"
"I'm not in trouble for that am I? He attacked me after all."
"No you're fine. I'll have to do a better job at correcting his behavior." He said looking at the angry explosion teen walking past them.
"That's a waste of time, not to mention impossible. That's just how he is, especially when it comes to me."
"Why is that?"
"His pride is so cheap it's crippling. But nevermind that, I was actually going out to eat with Momo and some of the other girls, what's this about?"
"It's just a quick talk. Meet me when you're done changing."
"I'm not a student you can order around Eraserhead." He thought as the man walked away. "I've got a bad feeling about this. But they were nice enough to give me a guest pass, so why not?" He thought before he left to get changed. Once he finished he met up with Eraserhead waiting for him in the hallway, his body language was telling, the look in his eyes piercing as if meeting someone online in person face to face. Whatever he wanted to talk about, it was about HIM, it was about ONE. "So Mr Eraserhead, how can I help you?" He asked innocently.
He gestured to the hall behind him and asked Izuku to walk with him. The grennette followed and after a moment of silence the hero spoke, "You applied for the hero course here didn't you?"
Red Flag. "Yes, but that was a long time ago. I let that dream go sir."
"Why did you?"
"You're kinda opening up an old wound here." Izuku said, sounding uneasy.
"I apologize, I'm only curious.
Izuku sighed, "It's fine. I'm quirkless. It's really that simple, I spent most of my life fighting against it. But the fact is you can't be a hero without a quirk. Do you disagree?"
The erasure hero paused as he took in his question, it was clear Midoriya was on to him and was testing him. Any discourse would die if he said the wrong thing, given everything he's learned the answer would be yes. But there was a time where he wouldn't even entertain the idea of a quirkless hero. His power only allows him to take away others power. He knows full well that if he can't do anything he's dead, and would have been on multiple occasions if he only relied on his combat skills. He took a breath before locking eyes with the greenette, "Yes, I do." He answered with a half truth.
Izuku looked him in the eyes, unintimidated in the slightest, "That was a forced answer. That's not how you truly feel and you just said what I wanted to hear." The older man stopped and gave him a stern look but Izuku was unfazed." You don't have to spare my feelings. I gave up being a hero because that's a sentiment that not only UA, but the hero academia as a whole also agrees with. That may sound like a broad statement but when four different schools won't let you take their entrance exam for the same reason you learn to suck it up and move on." He said, fully masking the hurt.
They continued walking with their talk pretty much dying, Izuku had a feeling where the hero was taking him, and he wasn't in the mood. "Eraserhead, where exactly are we going sir? You said this was just going to be a quick talk."
"I'm not the only one who wants to speak with you. It's very important."
Izuku chuckled lightly, "I'm not a student, or an aspiring hero. What could anyone in this school actually have to talk to me about?"
They stopped in front of a door, Eraser turned to the teen with a knowing look. "You'll see." He said before opening the door.
These words slightly irked Izuku, he'd already figured what this was about. "Seems they figured it out, not like it matters anymore." Even before the door was open Izuku could sense two other people in the room, he entered alongside Erserhead and saw Nezu sitting at a table along with Yagi, to his surprise. "Yagi? What are you doing here?" He asked innocently.
The skeletal man looked uneasy as he looked at him, he cuffed his hands together before turning to him, "Hello Young Midoriya. How are you?"
Answering my question with a question, figures. "Well I just enjoyed a good swim, lovely facilities by the way, but I'm confused as to why I was brought up here. I mean I appreciate the guest pass but it's concerning when a non-student is called to the principal's office."
"Sorry if this all seems a bit cryptic. But when we heard you were on campus we thought it prudent to let you have your fun before getting to this." Nezu said calmly.
"And what exactly IS this?" Izuku asked, already knowing the answer.
Eraserhead huffed in annoyance, "Drop the act already. There's only one reason for us to bring you here and you know what it is." His face had a stern look, "So spare us the ignorance."
Izuku kept a neutral expression as he took in his words, "And again I repeat, what exactly IS this?"
Nezu looked at the green haired teen, cuffing his paws together, "Midoriya, I'll cut right to the chase. You applied to our hero course at the relative start of your third year in middle school correct."
"Yes, as I recall I sent it in pretty early. And I also recall getting a letter barring me from the entrance exam because I'm quirkless." The tone in his voice made the three tense up. "Principal Nezu, is there a point to all this? Eraserhead asked me the same thing and just so you know I went through a lot to get over that. You're bringing up an old wound right now."
"I apologize, but I have a reason for bringing this up. Since this application was sent in, and ignorantly rejected, a shift began in the hero community eventually affecting all of society. And it all began with ONE person…You."
He worded it like that on purpose, okay I'll play along. Izuku raised an eyebrow with an amused smile, "You think I'm ONE?"
"You didn't deny it." Eraserhead said.
"I may have had some serious martial arts training, and I'm strong but I'm pretty sure I can't destroy a meteor."
"That's the conundrum regarding ONE's power isn't it? I've been doing my own personal investigation of ONE for months now and I've learned quite a lot. ONE's first sighting was at an apartment fire over a year ago, that happened roughly two weeks after I wrote to you. ONE predominantly works in Musutafu, you were born and raised here. Even before the app launched, the times in which ONE would be spotted coincided with that of a school student, this was confirmed when the app launched and the times you'd go on patrol lined up. There's also the fact that you're a student at Sakai Highschool in Fuji City, the SAME place the blue villain first struck. That was your first day of school wasn't it? And since then ONE's built up a good presence in that city at times coinciding with the start and release of that school.
Izuku suddenly felt Eraserhead's eyes on him, he turned around to look at see the hero's glowing red eyes and spiked up hair. "There's more evidence too, my quirk lets me not only shield the quirk genes of others but also defect someone's quirk factor. Not once have I felt one from ONE, just like I don't feel one from you now." Izuku said nothing and kept his composure as the hero stopped his quirk. "That day you came to help our students train for the sports festival, I saw a glimpse of how strong you are. And the fact you came up with ways for them to fundamentally strengthen their quirks tells us you study them as well as heroes. Just as we suspect ONE does. It's also no big secret how strong your girlfriend is, she's stated you're stronger than her, back at the USJ I got the impression she and ONE knew each other. I went to the Rising Sky Dojo here in town and Keizo Tabihara confirmed that just training can lead to superhuman prowess."
Izuku stayed silent as Small Might perked up, "And also it's what you said.. We were all looking at your words as someone with a villainous quirk. But now it's so obvious that everything you said was from the perspective of a quirkless person. You were on I-Island the same time ONE was, your also internet famous being at Hero Con the same time ONE was spotted across the city and nowhere else for those three days."
"You're also of the same height, same build and have the same looking smart watch on your right wrist." Nezu stated, pointing at the watch in question.
Izuku looked at his smartwatch and checked the time, he smiled nonchalantly. "Alright, what if it's true? Let's say in this hypothesis based entirely on coincidence that I AM ONE. What exactly does this change?"
"Is that an admittance?" Nezu asked.
"No. I'm saying that even if this is impossibly true and you "know", I'm going to leave here and have the same life I had before I came in here. I'm gonna continue to live the way I want to live and do the things I want to do and keep striving to be what I want to be."
All Might took in his words, the boy's walls were completely up, as always he wouldn't let them in. "We just wanted to talk, Young Midoriya." Small Might said, sensing the shift in the room.
"What is there to talk about?" He turned to the blonde man whose eyes widened with a serious look that gave him chills. "You people are sounding like you care, but where was that care when I was barred from trying for the hero course under the guise of it being for my own good. I gave my blood, my sweat, my tears, and endured hellish training to be a hero. Just to be treated like a failure by the very institution I wanted to attend for no other reason than that I'm quirkless." His words hit a nerve in all of them. "So I took it like a man…And I moved on."
Nezu took a breath, "I understand that there's nothing we CAN say Midoriya. On behalf of UA all I can do is apologize."
Izuku sighed, "Nezu, I'm not looking for an apology, I don't want one. It's physically impossible for it to be genuine anyway. And you can do far more than just apologize, try CHANGING." His words hit them hard. "You rejected me. You unilaterally decided I was such a failure I wasn't even worth giving a chance to. I never asked for a hand out or a free pass, all I ever wanted was a chance, like everyone else. One would think you would understand that, Nezu." He narrowed his eyes at the implications of the mouse-bear-dog.
The chimera's eyes never left the boy's as he took in his words, "You're right. You were right about everything. There was a time when I wanted to prove that I could be more than what others labeled me as, I was given that chance and made the most of it. Shamefully after becoming what I wanted I allowed myself to become a hypocrite and a figure in maintaining the status quo… Since you came on the scene there's been a shift in hero society, from a narrow minded point of view some would say for the worst but maybe…It's for the best. UA sets the standard for hero training but you never needed that, and from the beginning you seemed to be inadvertently teaching us all how to be heroes."
"You've saved millions, Young Midoriya. And it's not just your strength that resonates with people, it's your heart. It's your biggest thing and is that of a true hero..We just couldn't see that."
"So where do you go from here, Midoriya?" Eraser asked with crossed arms.
Izuku closed his eyes as he thought about all that was said. There was a pause in the air as all eyes were on the teenager. "To eat with my beautiful girlfriend." He said, smiling casually.
All three sighed in annoyance at these words, "We're actually trying to make an effort here, Young Midoriya."
"I told you before, I'm going to leave here and have the same life I had before I came here. There's nothing you can do for me, and I want nothing from you. As far as I'm concerned you people and this institution are just a part of what I want to see change. I've accepted your ignorance, and a part of me will never completely forgive it…But if you try, maybe you can be different, and won't let down the next aspiring hero who wants to prove quirkless doesn't mean useless, or powerless." His tone of voice was telling, he released a small wave of Power Aura that gave the teachers chills and made his words really hit home. "Sorry about that, You ripped open an old wound I healthily patched up. Can I leave now? Momo might worry about me if I take too long. Women hate to be kept waiting after all."
Aizawa shook off the chills and perked up, "Not yet, we have a training camp coming up for the first year students. Would you mind helping us out with that?" This request surprised both Nezu and All Might.
"Why would you ask me? Surely you've selected actual pros to help out with that."
"The quirks of the students you helped train for the sports festival have improved significantly more when compared to their peers. With the increase in villain activity our goal is to level up the students as much as possible so they can get their provisional licenses. Can you help us or not?"
"Did this man just say level up?" Izuku took in the man's reasoning. He wasn't against helping future pros improve and get better, in fact the prospect very much interested him. It made him happy when Iida told him the training he recommended had helped him so much, his years of quirk analysis seemed to be good for something if everyone he helped got that much stronger. But still. He looked the man in the eye, "No thank you." He said bluntly before leaving the room.
Nezu deadpanned at his response. He looked down at the application and noticed the date. "By the way, happy early birthday Midoriya."
Izuku accepted the words with a "Thank you" and left the room. The three teachers were left to ponder everything that just happened. "All things considered, that was a nice try, Eraserhead." Nezu complimented.
The hero sighed then left the room, leaving All Might with Nezu. Both teachers sat in silence, the chimera turned to the skinny man whose look of shame hadn't wavered since the meeting, "It's not your fault All Might. You gave him an honest opinion based on your own perspective." His words were warm and empathetic.
"It's not just that…It's the fact that he was right about me being like everyone else. I was a quirkless kid who wanted to be a hero once. I promised myself I'd make it happen. When I look back on the day I met him I SHOULD have been able to empathize with that! Someone wanting to become a hero despite not having a power, and the belief in themselves to make it happen. Once upon a time that was me! My master saw IT in me but when it was my turn I didn't even TRY to see it in someone else. And look what he's become after all that rejection of his dreams, I had a hand in that. What does that say about me?" He put a hand to his head and lowered his head, "I could barely look at him just now."
Nezu took a moment to find his words, "It wasn't just you. I also had a hand in his pain. We can't change the past, but we can work together in moving forward, so we can't give up." Nezu left the table and stood before the sad man, "As long as you're alive there's still a chance to fix things with those you've hurt, no matter how unlikely it seems." He said warmly before leaving the room and leaving the symbol of peace with his thoughts.
The next day
Izuku woke up bright and early the next morning, he woke to see Eri had snuck into his bed last night and had warmly snuggled up to him. Seeing she was still peacefully asleep he got out of bed without disturbing her and covered her with the sheets to let her keep sleeping. Today was his birthday. For some reason he always woke up early on this day. He never had a huge party, (Mostly from his lack of friends), but his birthdays were always fine growing up. That is until he met Taku back in middle school, last year after celebrating with his mom he dragged him to a teen nightclub in Tokyo where he admittedly had a really fun time. He left his room and saw that his mom hadn't gotten up yet and could sense she was still sleeping. He went to the bathroom and brushed his teeth and flossed before sitting on the couch and looking at his phone.
Kezio and Michiko both sent him a happy birthday text as they did with all disciples, he figured he'd take a day off from heroing and enjoy his day. He went to his room and quickly threw on some workout clothes that consisted of a black muscle shirt, gray basketball shorts and black and yellow basketball shoes. He grabbed his basketball and after putting some air in it he headed out the door. Playing ball the other day when he was on patrol was fun, it put him in the mood to play more, that Aikawa guy was pretty good. Not too often you see someone at 170 cm dunk like that. He made his way to the park, all the while he was doing dribble moves and practicing his handle. People who saw him on the street were impressed by his skills, after a while he made it to the park and stepped onto the court. He was the only one out right now and most people didn't come out to play until about one or two o'clock.
He had the court all to himself, one of the best things about basketball is that you don't necessarily need people to play with. Though it wasn't that often, he still liked coming out here. This was the place where his dad taught him the game, he always had a lot of natural talent and was really good but he never prioritized it over his martial art training. He never played organized basketball, his game was essentially made outside and he's built such a reputation on these courts that most people in the local basketball scene know him. He stepped up to the free throw line, took two dribbles and focused on the rim. He took a shot and made a perfect swish, the ball bounced back to him and he continued to do this four more times. After his fifth make he crossed the ball between his legs as he backed up to the 3-point line, he did a dribble move before going into a pull up shot behind the arc, knocking it down.
For the next hour he took shot after shot, hardly missing one while incorporating masterful handles with lay-ups and dunks. His body constantly moves as he immediately goes into another move after getting the ball back after each make. His fundamentals were precise, fluid and solid. His eyes never came down when dribbling, holding his follow through on every shot and aiming for the rim, and his footwork and control of the ball were second nature. He dribbled to the right corner, he ripped the ball around his back, crossed it between his legs and spun into a mid-range corner fadeaway. He was behind the rim when he saw the shot go in, he sensed a presence just as he heard a familiar femenine voice say "Nice shot handsome." Turning around he saw Rumi stepping onto the court and walking towards him, she was wearing a forest green sports bra, black workout shorts and her hair was in a ponytail.
He picked up his ball and met the woman, "Hey Rumi, out for a morning run?" He asked, noting she was covered in a light sweat.
"Yeah, I'm about 30 km in so far." She clapped her hands, gesturing to him to give her the ball which he passed to her. She spun it on her right index finger, "I was just passing by when I saw you dropping bombs. You really got some game don't you?" She smiled as she stopped spinning the ball.
Izuku smiled bashfully, "A little bit. I was in a basketball mood so I came down here to shoot some hoops."
Rumi looked at the ball in her hands and lightly spun and tossed it up, "Man, I think the last time I played was half a year ago?" She caught the ball and did a quick dribble move and breezed past Izuku and took a mid-range jumper off the backboard, making it.
Izuku was impressed by her shooting mechanics, "Nice form."
She got the ball back, "Thanks. Good to know the magic hasn't gone anywhere." She then took a corner three and knocked it down. "I was actually a two-sport athlete in middle school and most of highschool."
Izuku got her rebound, "Yeah, you played volleyball and basketball. But your volleyball background is more well known." He said as he passed the ball back to her.
"Of course you'd know all about that." She said as she took another three and missed.
Izuku caught the rebound, dribbled to the left wing, pivoted, fake spun right and spun left into a fadeaway resulting in a clean swish. He stepped behind the top of the key, Rumi got his board and passed the ball back to him, he pulls up with a smooth jumper and made another shot. Rumi gets the ball, "You got any plans for today?" She asked as he threw the ball back to him.
Izuku catches the ball, "Yeah, it's actually my birthday today." He said as he did a jab step, pulled up and drained another three.
Rumi was surprised to hear this, "WHAT! Why didn't you tell me, I would have got you something." She took the ball and dribbled back to the right wing.
Izuku felt a little bad, not realizing she cared that much. "Sorry about that. My birthday hasn't been the most epic of days, only a select few have cared enough to acknowledge let alone celebrate it with me."
Rumi dribbled to the mid range and did a floater, making it. "Sweet sixteen huh? So what's the plan?" She asked as Izuku passed the ball back to her.
"I honestly don't know. Normally I'd keep it simple but knowing my best friend the way I do, he's probably planning some sort of surprise party."
"That right? Sounds like you've got a really good friend." She crossed between her legs before making another mid-range floater. Izuku passed the ball back to her, the two continued to shoot around and talk, sometimes guarding each other but not seriously. After over half an hour Rumi had a suggestion, "Lets play a quick game."
"Okay, what are we playing?"
She gestured with the ball, "First one to miss has to do what the winner says?" She answered with a sly grin.
"Alright." He answered excitedly.
"Off the backboard, through the legs, one arm slam." She stated before doing that exact dunk.
Izuku copied her move and got the ball next, "Off the glass, jump to catch the ball on the other side in mid air and take the shot, nothing but net. Izuku executed this with Rumi making it with a lucky bounce.
Rumi's turn again, "Off the glass, tuck your knees in, rip the ball under you and finish with a two handed dunk on the other side of the rim." With incredible athleticism and multitasking she did her move with Izuku copying her.
Izuku's turn again, "Pull up to the top of the key, go into your jumper, pump once and shoot, nothing but net." His words came true when he did it with Rumi making the same shot.
The two looked at each other, the sparks of competition had been lit and they were ready to keep going. It took ten more turns before there was finally a winner, Izuku beat Rumi by easily knocking down a full court bomb as if it were a simpe three. Rumi was visibly annoyed at having lost but quickly got over it as she looked at Izuku, "Alright birthday boy you win. So what do I have to do?"
Izuku grabbed his chin as if he were thinking when in all honesty he already knew what he wanted if he won. "Turn around for me please?" He asked with a sly smile.
Rumi complied and turned around, she had a smile on her face and a hint of lust in her eyes. She was sure he was staring at her butt, after all he's made it clear how he feels about her bunny buns. She didn't lose on purpose and she didn't mind it at this moment. She wished Izuku had told her about his birthday beforehand, she really would have gotten him something. She was brought out of her thoughts when she felt Izuku messing with her hair, "I don't think I've ever mentioned it before, but your hair really IS soft and beautiful Rumi."
This sudden compliment, coupled with her feeling his soft pants python against her butt made her blush. "Whaaa?! That's kind of a random thing to say, are you putting my hair up right now?"
"I noticed your hair tie was slipping when we were playing. That being said, You ARE my "hero crush", am I not allowed to give you a compliment?" He asked, still standing close behind her.
This revelation was like a tug on her heart strings, "No it's not that I just-." She then took a moment to regain her composure and remembered she was Mirko the hero. "Thank you. I didn't get you a present for your special day, but your little-big friend seems to be looking for one for you." She said sexily.
Izuku could feel a slight erection arise at the mention of his little-big friend. "It looks that way doesn't it." He then leaned into her left ear, all of her instincts were telling her the male behind her wanted to mate. Her body was becoming hotter by the second as the touch of Izuku's cheek against her ear sent a feeling of pleasure that reverberated through her body, his breath against her ear was titillating, and then he spoke. "Let's double back to this after a shower." She was now fully tuned on.
Rising Sky Dojo Dormitory
There were several showers in the dojos dorm, and right now the water was running and steam was emitting from one of the bathrooms. The sounds of the shower and the steam helped masked the sound and scent of the hot sex being had at the moment. Inside the steam-filled bathroom a shower faucet streamed water onto the naked bodies of Izuku Midoriya and Rumi Usagiyama. They were connected at the lips with the tall young man standing behind the shorter woman, his erect member inside her, its length and thickness fully filling her entrance as well as her baby room. His multi-tasking was on full display as he lovingly kissed her while his right hand played with her dripping wet pussy and his left massaged her voluptuous left breast. His hips were moving at a slow rhythmic pace allowing himself to feel every bit of the woman.
She felt him just the same, due to her quirk her sex drive was high. But something about this boy brought out a lust in her that she fully embraces, as she pulls his head down and deepens their kiss she feels him. The loving nature he has, and the true care and respect he has for her. She liked this feeling, she really did. As their tongues made contact it wasn't a wrestle for dominance, just a lustful embrace between two people. The impact of his mighty manhood, sent wave after wave of pleasure across her body with each thrust. He truly knew how to work her body, he could make her cum with one thrust but he's choosing not to. Her ass jiggles with each hit and her insides tingled, she can feel him all the way in her stomach. He plays with her pussy like an expert pianist, touching and pleasuring her in ways even she's never known. And her boob feels so good it's as if she's being touched by a god, she never felt like this when doing it to herself and it blew her mind.
They broke the kiss and Rumi's moans filled the shower, "Ahh~..Ahh~."
Izuku continued to pleasure the woman, "Your moans are always so cute Rumi."
"It's your fault! And this perfect fucking DICK!" He yelled with pleasure.
He smiled slyly, "It's perfect huh?" He sped up his thrusts, played with her clit and fondled her boob. Rumi's eyes shot wide at the sudden rapid bursts of pleasure, "Tell me how that dick feels?" He said sexily as he reached down and suked on her neck.
"It's so good, baby! I feel it in my stomach, baby!.. Yeah!... I'm about to cum! I wanna cum!" Izuku added more power to his strokes, Rumi's body was on the brink of bursting with pleasure. "Oh Izuku you make my pussy so~! Oh shit it's throbbing! That big dick's too good baby!"
"Tell me what you want. Tell me to give it to you!"
His words seemed to hypnotize her as she threw her ass back in rhythm with his strokes, she had heart eyes and the way he held her gave no room to run from this pleasure. She didn't want to, she was going crazy the more he kept her on the edge, she knew what she wanted, and she wanted him to give it to her again and again. "I wanna cum! Make me cum baby!"
With one powerful thrust a mighty orgasm tore through Rumi, she lost all function as her legs spasmed and her body trembled. Izuku held her to keep her from falling, she breathed heavily as she rode the intense wave of pleasure. He turned the water off and freed himself from inside her, he was still rock hard and was far from done. He continued to hold Rumi and allowed her to get right, after a moment he called to the woman, "Are you good Rumi?" He asked with a sly grin. The look on the woman's face was one of pure lust and sexual satisfaction with a big smile, she always has the same face when she cums really hard and it was adorable.
The rabbit woman said nothing, only planting a kiss on the greenette's lips. "Let's head to my room, we're still not done, birthday boy."
The two made a quick half attempt at drying themselves off. Rumi could still barely walk so Izuku picked her up bridal style and told her to save her legs for spasming, much to her excitement. They made it to her room and Izuke laid her on the middle of the bed, Rumi spread her legs and played with her boobs as she sexily admired the ripped godly physique of her teenage bang buddy. As she touched her chest, in a way putting on a little show for him, her eyes fell on his still hard, perfect pussy pleaser causing her to become wet at the sight.
Izuku, while enjoying her little show, noticed her sudden moisture. He had a charming look as he asked, "See something you like Rumi?"
The woman held her boobs while keeping her legs spread, "Don't you?"
Izuku didn't answer and just climbed onto the bed. He got between her legs and started to kiss her right thigh, then her left before making his way up kissing her stomach, her boobs all the way until he landed on her lips. Red eyes met emerald as they broke apart, an excited smile spread across both their faces. Izuku was about to go down and taste her but before he could Rumi stopped him, "Hold up birthday boy?"
"Yeah?"
"As fun as this is, I should probably tell you that as a rabbit I'm always in heat. So if we're not careful we MAY end up breeding." Her smile didn't fade as she revealed this information.
Izuku was a little thrown off by this as it was something he DID suspect but she never mentioned. He remembered he didn't pull out and went bareback the first time they had sex, could she be late? There was a reason she was just now bringing this up. Issue for later if it even becomes an issue. He gave her a charming look, "Duly noted." He said sexily before going down on her and licking on her flesh.
Rumi let out a moan, gripped the sheets as she threw her head back. Izuku's cunnilingus was indescribable, from the moment his tongue starts lashing at her most sensitive spot all she can do is lay back and allow herself to be worked by his clever tongue, thirsty for her nectar.
The Midoriya house
Izuku walked into the house and was immediately greeted by a pouting Eri. "Izu-Nii, where did you go?"
"Yeah, sorry for not waking you up. But you look so cute when you sleep."
"That's not it. I wanted to say happy birthday when you woke up." She said slightly disappointed.
That's why she crawled into my bed this morning. "I'm sorry about that, Eri. I'd really love it if you told me now though." He smiled while getting down to her level.
"Happy birthday!" She exclaimed confidently.
"That's exactly how you do it, thank you Eri." He hugged the little girl who accepted his embrace.
"Welcome home son." His mom said from the living room.
"Hey Mom." He walked up to hug his mother.
"Happy birthday." She said with a warm motherly smile.
"I made it to the sweet sixteen!" He said cheerfully.
"Yes you did~. I'm gonna make a cake for you but in terms of celebration, what is Takumi planning?"
"Some kind of surprise party I'm sure. You know how spontaneous he can be."
"Speaking of, where have you been? I heard you leave at around seven this morning and the app didn't show you were on patrol. It's after one o'clock, where were you?"
"I left to go play basketball this morning. I ran into Mirko while I was down there and we were just hanging out." His tone was completely natural, devoid of any hint of deception. He didn't enjoy "Lying" to his mom just now, though she wasn't the most perceptive person, she was still his mother and she knew him.
She gave him a quick mom look, "That sounds like fun, since when did you become friends with a pro hero?"
"I never mentioned it before? She figured out my identity when I was still a vigilante. But we had become friends before that so I was able to trust her with my secret."
"Alright. Well I'm gonna get started on that cake." She said happily before going to the kitchen.
Izuku turned around and went to the bathroom to take a shower, he honestly didn't mean to spend so much time with Rumi. Hell, even after four hours fucking her brains out she still wanted more, even offering her anal virginity which he barely refused, that libido is truly something. Still, he had plenty of energy for Momo later on, she was on her way and would be here soon and he couldn't wait to see her. She implied she got him a gift he would enjoy, it's most likely something she made with her quirk. He wasn't materialistic and he would love something Momo made just for him, he actually planned on doing that for her birthday. And on that note he gave her the whole story on his talk with Eraserhead. With love and understanding she supported him and didn't encourage him to just outright forgive, but to take his time and handle it in his own way.
His spy flies have done a good job at spying on the League Of Villains. Giran's been bringing several new recruits to join the league over the past few days, several of which have rap sheets. Himiko Toga: On the run for murder and a suspect in several others. Goto Imasuji AKA the Cardinal Murderer Muscular: Wanted for multiple murders with several including heroes. The escaped death row inmate Moonfish: Murder and canibalism, Kenji Hikiishi: Wanted for multiple cases of assault and battery. And the last he was able to uncover was Jin Bubaigawara AKA Twice: Wanted for theft, and burglary along with assault and battery. There was a guy with a patch work face and burn scars that disturbed him, all he got was that his name was Dabi but couldn't find anything connecting that name to anyone else.
As he suspected AFO wasn't living in that building with Shigaraki and Kurogiri, but he learned there was a screen in which he spoke to him from an unknown location. Once he learned this they positioned a fly on the screen in an unnoticeable position, should AFO speak to Shigaraki again they'll be able to track his location. His instincts still tell him he's somewhere in Kamino, his plan is in motion and all he has to do is wait. Once he knows where AFO is he'll spring into action.
His shower felt great. It took a good bit of body wash to get Rumi's scent off of him and he was able to get her pussy off his breath. He exited the bathroom covered in a towel and went to his room, he dried off and put on underwear, camouflage cargo shorts and a black tank top, he got a call from Taku wishing him a happy birthday. He would slide through later and they'd celebrate, the doorbell rang and he left his room to answer it. He already knew who it was before he opened the door, "Hello beautiful." He had a charming smile as he welcomed his girlfriend. Her hair was down and she was wearing a gray, ruffle, off shoulder blouse tucked into black jean shorts with black low block heels.
"Hello my love. Happy birthday." She smiled as she entered the apartment.
He took her hand and guided her inside, "I'm happy you came. How have you been today?"
"I've been fine. It's your sixteenth year." She playfully pinched his cheek, "You're growing so fast~."
He broke from her and playfully got behind and hugged her while nuzzling his face into her neck, "Say's Ms "Early Development"."
"I take after my mother, sue me." She playfully responded.
"Truly a blessing."
"Momo!" Eri excitedly exclaimed as she bolted from her room to the older girl.
"Eri!" She happily responded with a smile as she bent down a little and high fived the little girl both up high and down low.
"Hey hey, You know it's Izu-Nii's birthday today!"
"I do. Do you know how old he is today?"
"Uh-huh, he's sixteen." She answered confidently.
Momo whispered in her ear, "Did you finish your gift for him?"
"Uhmm." She responded with a nod.
Izuku smiled slyly, "I heard that. What gift is she talking about Eri?"
The little girl smiled as she shook her head, "It's a secret." She then went back to her room and closed the door.
Both teens looked at the door, "That girl, she's had such a warm aura these past few weeks." Izuku commented.
"And that is a VERY good thing." Momo added.
After a little talking with Inko, Izuku and Momo went to the boy's room and locked the door. Momo couldn't wait before she wished him a happy birthday and made his gift. It was a statue of ONE, outstretching a hand with his signature smile. With a quote at the bottom that said "Anyone with power can be called strong, but only those with strength and heart who use it for others can be called a hero." Izuku held the statue in his hand, he inspected everything about it, the look, the feel, the words engraved on it. It was an excellent philosophy, one he very much agreed with. Momo looked at him lovingly as he turned to her with a warm smile, "I love it Momo, I can tell you put real effort into making this for me, I really like the quote here."
Momo's heart was a flutter. She spent a lot of time looking for the best materials and gone through several attempts to make this and she was happy Izuku liked it. She wanted to give him something from her heart, something he would genuinely like. He's never once asked her for money or any monetary kind of gift, and he knows her well enough that he can give her something that isn't about money. So the least she could do is do that for him on his birthday and she was happy she could, "I'm happy you like it Izuku."
Izuku turned the TV on and they laid on the bed, they talked as they held each other with Izuku on top of Momo snuggled into her boobs. She held his head and they allowed themselves to just enjoy their moment of intimacy. As Izuku held her she could feel him, she loved him and knew him well enough to know when something was on his mind. It was no big secret he loved her breasts, by his own words being snuggled between them like this was one of his favorite places in the world. Still, she was curious about what was on his mind. "What's on your mind Izuku?"
He rose up and looked her in the eyes, "I'm just really happy. My life has changed so much in over a year. I can't put it into words how happy I am…I've become the hero I always dreamed of. I have people in my life that believe in me. That I love, trust, and respect, and they all give that back happily and willingly." As he looked at his love a wave a repressed emotion nearly brought him to tears, "This is all I ever wanted."
Momo gently put a hand to his left cheek, "Thank you Izuku."
He put his hand on hers, "For what?"
"For coming into my life…Since I met you you've given me something precious, an ideal to aspire to…I was eight when I decided to become a hero, and I was always taught that those with power should use it to help others, however big or small it may be. But that tends to lead to self righteousness. So when I saw someone who has every right to be angry at the world, instead choose to be good, see the good in others and help any and everyone with the strength of his heart outshining his physical strength. It inspires me to want to be a good person more than just a good hero." Her onyx eyes looked into his emerald ones, her heart a flutter as she formed her words, "For the longest time when you were a vigilante, people with influence would try to denounce or shun you, pro's wouldn't even acknowledge you as a hero." She took her free hand and brought it to his other cheek, "For all this time, thank you for being mine."
Her words warmly and lovingly tugged on Izuku's heart strings, this was another of the many reasons why he loved this girl. After all, she was the first person to accept him fully and openly. He was always at peace when he was with her, and holding her in his arms like this, she is and always will be the most beautiful creature he has ever seen. Everything about her both inside and out is the epitome of the word beautiful. "I love you..So much." His words were warm.
"I love you too." Her response was loving as he leaned in and she pulled him close. The two connected at the lips, the love and burning passion in this moment of intimacy was so intense both of them melted. For a whole minute the two made out with the passion of a married couple, the scene would cause any who saw it to blush. The flames of passion were burning bright in the young people, the sensual feelings they both felt were bubbling into something intense.
An hour later
The sound and scent of sex had filled the room coupled with the muffled moans a pleasure that verged on screams. Momo was in a low doggy style position, legs spread wide and burying her face into the pillow. Tears of joys filled her eyes as she was riding a wave of sexual bliss, her vagina was throbbing, her insides were pulsating and she was so wet she was dripping onto the bed beneath her. Izuku was behind her, gripping her hips and pulling her into each stroke. Her sweet peach jiggled from the force of each thrust of his monster cock, his balls popped her clit and she could fully feel every inch of him. His rhythm was slow, but he was giving her long, deep strokes that made her feel every last bit of it with enough power to bring her just short of orgasm. Momo moaned in the pillow as each thrust sent a wave of pleasure coursing through her body, Izuku sped up a little and the sudden pleasure was too much as Momo's legs gave, and she let out a scream that her pillow was just able to contain.
Knowing her body, Izuku laid on top of her, reaching under her and grabbing her boobs. He kissed her on the left side of her neck and began pounding her into his mattress. Momo screamed into the pillow as her body tensed up and pulsated with pleasure as multiple orgasms tore through her at once. Her pussy tightly clenched on his dick as she basked in pleasure, her nerves were all out of whack, and her whole body was sensitive. She brought her head from the pillow and was trying to catch her breath when she finally registered Izuku kissing her neck. She lightly chuckled through her pleasure, "Are you trying to give me a hickey?" She asked, smiling with her hair a slight mess.
He was actually, he then stopped, "And what if I am? I'm pretty sure you gave me one?"
"Consider that a separate gift, birthday boy." She joked.
He got off and out of her, allowing her to sit up, "Speaking of gift, I want to do something I've been wanting to for a while?"
Momo's eyes widened as she suspected what this could mean. She put up a hand, "Hold on a minute Izuku. I love you, you know that but I'm still not ready for anal sex." She said, blushing worriedly.
Izuku just started laughing at her thoughts and how cute she was, "Oh man I really do love. But no it's not that.
Momo's heart fluttered when she fully registered the secy look he'd given her. She fully welcomed his lips and they began to kiss with loving passion, Momo brought her hand behind his head and brought him down with her as she laid on her back. They continued to kiss in a missionary position, they broke the kiss and Izuku went down to take her right nipple into his mouth. The tingle of pleasure and her sensitivity were intense. She threw her head back, "Ahhh! I-Izuku, I'm still sensitive~."
After circling her breast and flicking her nipple with his tongue he left her chest and adored the state she was in. He had a charming smile, making eye contact with Momo as he slid his manhood back into her womanhood, filling her completely and shaping her to the shape of him. The two were once again connected at the lips and their sex had now official gone to a whole new level. The day was still relatively early, and they fully planned on spending the rest of it together, but the sex they're having right now, is a shared time neither one of them will forget.
Hours later the two left the room after airing it out, Inko was finishing the food for the party and she gave the teens a knowing look as they sat down on the living room couch. They had a video chat with Hisashi who wished Izuku a happy birthday. Taku had come over and surprisingly brought Saki, Kiyuki, Melissa and two of their classmates with them. One of them was Jinji Aoi, he was a boy with teal skin, a long pointy tail, two short teal colored horns protruding from his forehead, yellow eyes, short white hair in a taper fade and small pony tail. The other was Kriest Lloyd, an exchange student from Germany who was a big fan of Japanese culture. He was the same height as Izuku and Taku with shoulder length blonde hair and sky blue eyes and handsome features. Izuku was friendly with all his classmates but these two were some he would call "Friends".
After introductions the party began, Kriest and Aoi didn't know about his secret identity but they came together and got him the newest hero catalog that contained quotes, bios and super moves of the latest heroes. Taku got him his very own jetboard with a green and black color scheme and Eri gave him a drawing she made of the two of them, which he immediately hung on his wall. Saki and Kiyuki got him some cool clothes as well as a haiku painted by Keizo that he too hung on his wall. Melissa got him an autographed copy of the fictional All Might comic that's no longer for sale. The party was a fun event with everyone having a good time, the cake was delicious, the food was excellent and everyone was having good conversations all around. Before long it was seven o'clock and a loud snap of the fingers by Taku got everyone's attention. "Now's the time, good people." He said with a sly smile.
Izuku looked to his friend, "I knew this was coming. What are you planning Taku?"
"This was only part one of your birthday bash bro. Time to head to Pika!" He exclaimed, pumping his fist into the air.
There was no argument, Izuku kissed Inko and Eri on the cheek and left the apartment with the others. They all piled into the white limo and headed to Tokyo. They would be staying at Taku's family penthouse and would head home the next day. They arrived at the teen nightclub Pika, to see Taku had set up a whole birthday bash for Izuku and the party was absolutely jumping. Everyone was having a good time and the night was nothing but fun and energetic. Izuku jammed with Momo and Melissa, Kiyuuki danced with Kriest and Saki was all over Taku while Aoi flirted with everything that moved. Since schools were on break the club didn't close until one in the morning and after leaving they all went to Taku's family penthouse. Kiyuki tried to keep the party going but most were ready to go to sleep, there were two floors with five rooms in this suite and plenty of beds including a couch bed so everyone just picked one. This was a fun and interesting birthday, Izuku and Momo picked a room and got into bed, cuddling together and lovingly holding hands as they fell asleep in their spooning.
Two days later
The sky was cloudy over the city of Tokyo, there was an ominous tension in the air that no one going about their daily lives was able to sense. In Tokyo bay, large fish-like monsters started to rise from the water and make their way onto the streets. People who saw them were fearful and still under the water there was a figure whose lips morphed into an excited smile, ready and anxious for the havoc his underlings would cause.
Musutafu
ONE was teaming up with Mirko, teaming up with him was what she had to do for losing to him in basketball the other day. He was running and jumping across the city instead of flying, which allowed Mirko to cling to him as he jetted across the city stopping crime. He really enjoyed working with Mirko, they had a really fun brains and brawn dynamic. They both used their senses to detect crime and it became a race to who could stop it first and after a while Mirko made this a competition between the two. Mirko bolted to a scene and delivered a brutal kick to a man who was mugging another man in an alley, after calling it in, the police came and took him away. "You're slipping ONE. That's 6-4 my way."
ONE didn't look at her and put a hand to his shoulder, "Tell you feel that?"
"Feel what?"
"That ominous tension in the air coming from the north west." He crossed his arms and looked in that direction, "Keep your senses on high alert, I've got a bad feeling about today."
"Now I'm a little worried." She said as ONE suddenly got a phone call.
ONE looked at the caller ID and was surprised to see it was Hawks. He excitedly answered the phone, "Hey, how's my favorite birdie boy doing?"
"ONE! We have a crisis, get to Tokyo now!" He yelled into the phone, his tone startling the hero and putting him on edge.
"Whoa whoa whoa, Hawks slow down. What's the problem?"
He could hear the sound of the winged hero slashing flesh with his feathers, as well as the sounds of screams in the background. "Some sea monsters or some mutant fish experiments I don't know but It's not looking goo-"
He heard a sound as if the phone had dropped, "Hawks?..Hawks?...HAWKS?!" He exclaimed into the phone, getting the attention of all who heard his voice. He kept the phone to his ear, there was a moment of silence when he heard a sudden sensual sounding cackle on the other end of the line. He heard a few breaths and then he spoke, "I don't know who you are…I don't know what you want…But I promise you, you won't get away with this." He said sternly.
There was an amused, sensual sounding chuckle on the other end, "Hmm, this is the first step of my invasion. Good luck." The sensual voice said before the connection cut out.
Mirko looked at him, having heard what he said and was in full battle mode. "Where are we going?" She asked, ready to hop over.
ONE turned to his right and across the street he could see the news broadcast on the TV's in an electric store. He quickly blitzed across the street and looked at the TV's to see the large monsters that resembled sea creatures were attacking Tokyo. Buildings were wrecked and people were running for their lives. The thing that horrified him the most was that the creatures were eating people, the camera captured a scene of guts and gore caused by whatever these things were. Mirko also looked at the news coverage with wide eyes and a look of disbelief, flashbacks of the blue villain flooding her mind. The two glanced at each other and with no words they were gone in a flash.
Tokyo
It was a scene of chaos and destruction. The blood and mutilated bodies of civilians, heroes and monsters alike littered the battlefield, the rumbling of the sky made the scene more ominous as various battles echoed across the city. It was absolute hell for the people running for their lives looking for some semblance of safety, police had no way of maintaining the panicked public. Everyone was scared, no one felt safe, even those who saw All Might declare he was here and join the fight couldn't overcome their fear as many heroes had been ripped apart and eaten alive. In a section of the city a group of monsters were blown away by a yellow, spiral wave of energy, the monsters shook off the hit and looked at a blue haired girl flying with the same energy. "You guys need to stay DOWN!" Her blue eyes were full of anger as she readied another blast. She then felt something wrap around her left leg, looking down she saw a hulking, muscular monster with the head of an octopus using one of its tentacles to grab her. Before she could react she was violently snatched out of the air and swung around like a ragdoll into multiple buildings before she was tossed into a building, crashing through a glass window and a wall before hitting another wall, cracking it.
"OW!" Was her only thought as she struggled to pick herself up. She looked out the hole she just made and saw the monsters blocking her way. She swallowed her fear and aimed, "Energy output level 40, Nejire Wave!" She called out as her blast shook the building and nailed her targets. She then took this moment to escape and get some air, she needed to regroup with Ryukyu, they had lost each other in the chaos and everyone was scattered.
A hulking monster with the head of an shark was rushing some civilians, the people scremed in terror as they ran for their lives. The monster's lips salivated as it encroached on the fearful crowd, a flash of white blitzed passed the monster, making it stop and ready itself for battle. Suddenly out of the ground came Lemillion, shrouded in yellow lightning and uppercutting the creature into the air and making it land hard on its back. He told the people to keep running. He turned back to the shark monster that got back up, giving the young hero a snarl and a death look. The young hero kept his quirk activated as he got into a fighting stance, "What the hell even are these things? They're strong and they've killed so many heroes. No matter how hard we hit they won't stay down! What do we do!" He thought as the monster rushed him.
Hawks laid on the roof of a building, he was resting, trying to breathe and coughing up blood as he tried to manage his pain. He had multiple broken ribs on top of some internal damage, the pain was so intense he could barely move. "I almost died." The thought of the monster that hit him gave him chills, he could still see its twisted smile. "I never saw that coming." He stood up and seeing what was happening below he swallowed his pain and flew back down to join the fight, "I hope ONE got my message."
All Might was surrounded by the smashed bodies of monsters, his fists drenched in their blood and his signature smile was gone, replaced with a look of anger. "You just don't know when to quit, do you?!" He turned to face the four monsters that were surrounding him. The beasts growled menacingly and attacked the hero. All Might's thoughts raced as he cocked back a fist, "We still don't know how many of these things there are OR who's commanding them. I got separated from Young Togata, I have to smash this threat as soon as possible." He threw a punch that caused the area to explode with wind pressure.
"Hmm." A figure turned in the direction of the rumble he just heard, surprised as he sensed several more of his soldiers had died. He turned back to the round human that was making himself a less than adequate punching bag.
Fatgum had a confident smile on his face, he had charged all his fat and the damage he sustained into his right fist. "I'm done charging. YOU'RE GONNA FEEL THIS ONE!" He declared s he decked him in the gut, creating a burst of power and sending him flying into a destroyed building. The now skinny hero panted heavily, barely able to contain the pain of his injuries. "Did that do it?" He thought as he looked in the direction of his foe.
A chill ran down his spine when he heard the shifting of rock, and the monster emerged from the ruins. A sadistic smile on his face as he patted his stomach, "You were right, I did feel that." He continued to make his way to the now mentally panicking hero, "Just a little~." He said in a sensual tone.
The hero racked his brain, "Damn! That was all my fat, plus that was the worst beating I've ever taken making that my strongest spear. I got nothing left, now what? He killed everyone else and I sent Sun Eater to help the civilians."
The monster was gone in a flash and all his hair stood on end. He didn't have to turn around to know he was towering behind him, "Are you finished?" It's voice gave him chills as he slowly turned around to look at him. "Because I'm not done punching you yet." It said, raising a fist.
Ryuku had just finished killing a pair of monsters, she was becoming more and more frustrated as they just seemed to keep coming. She's seen many people and heroes fall in gruesome fashion since this attack began, she had been separated from all of her sidekicks and was worried about each of them. She looked around, "Nejire! Everyone! Where ARE you?" She thought desperately as she saw a hero be launched into the upper level of a building, it was only for a moment, but she was sure she knew who it was. "Fat Gum." She said in horroring realization.
She flew towards the building to check on the hero, as she got closer she caught a glance of a ball of liquid being shot at her. She shifted her body to avoid it but it still splashed against her right wing. The pain was excruciating as the ball was some kind of acid that immediately melted the majority of her wing away. She roared in pain as she fell out of the sky and hit the ground hard, the burning was indescribable and she had to fight every instinct to turn off her quirk or hold her injured extremity. She laid on the ground, fighting the pain as a figure entered her line of sight. He was tall, muscular with green skin on his arms and legs and light skin on his chest and abdomen. He had sharp eyes, long fangs and fins protruding from both sides of his head, pink ovals for eyebrows and wearing a red speedo, an ornate crown with a full trimmed cape, he also had heart nipples.
"Well that's a sorry sight isn't it? You shouldn't have tried to dodge my ball of acid. Now you're suffering when you would have instantly melted away without any pain." He said in a sensual tone with an amused smile.
Ryukyu was too busy fighting the pain, she could barely form words as the creature approached her. "Allow me to put you out of your misery." He said as he raised his foot intending on crushing her head to mush.
The green man caught a flash of blue and shifted left, crossing arms, "SMASH!" All Might roared out as he decked the villain. The monster skidded back, stopping and facing the hero. "Hmm, you're not the one."
"What are you talking about?" The blonde asked, slightly confused.
"When I sensed the Ancient King was killed I was curious as to what human could possibly do him in. They would be the biggest hindrance to my invasion, so I wanted to drag them out and kill them." He then pointed at the hero, "You've killed many of my troops, so I suspected it may be you but I was wrong. Still, you're a delectable slab of meat, it waters my appetite." In a flash of speed he decked All Might in the face with a right hook that drew blood.
All Might's head turned from the hit, "He's fast." He then turned his head back, "But." All Might returned a right hook of his own, messing up the monster's face.
"Oh my~." He said, registering the damage to his face. All Might nails him with an uppercut to the chin, knocking him off the ground and stumbling a little when he lands. His smile didn't fade as he contorted his face and it was back to normal as if he were never hit. "Wow~, that actually hurt. Just a little~."
All Might shined his signature smile, "Is that so? Because your punch had no power behind it."
"That was intentional~." His entire body flexed, "Now I'll hit for real." In a flash of speed the two rushed each other with their fists creating a shockwave that shattered windows in the area.
"Nejire-Chan!" Lemillion exclaimed as he held his unconscious friend who was bleeding from the head. She had been sent flying by some monsters and he caught her before she hit the ground, she was covered in injuries on top of having over used her quirk, she was done fighting. He was able to get some space before more monsters were on them, he was worried about Sun Eater and this situation showed no sign of getting under control. He had no idea how many heroes remained and he was trying to keep it together. He felt a chill run down his spine as they had been discovered and surrounded by monsters ready for blood. He grit his teeth and laid the girl down as he readied himself to fight.
His eyes widened as the monsters all at once exploded in a burst of blood and gore. "What the?" He said aloud as he went out to find ONE in a crouch forward position with his arms spread with his hands smoking. "ONE!" He called out.
The green clad hero turned to face the hero student, "You alright Lemillion?"
"I'm alright. MAN I'm glad to see you!" He exclaimed happily.
"How's the other one?" He asked, knowing he wasn't alone over there.
"She's pretty banged up, AND she over used her quirk. She can't fight anymore." He explained calmly.
ONE pointed down the street, "Alright. Take her and head west. They've set up an aid station. I've dispatched many monsters and cleared a path towards it, helping any injured heroes and civilians get to it safely."
"Okay." He picks up Nejire and activates Full Cowling. "What about you?"
"I'll take care of these fish monsters." He pointed south west, "Steer clear of that direction, All Might's fighting what I can only assume is the leader in that direction given the sounds. Mirko also went in that direction so it should be fine." He turned back around to see a group of monsters approaching them, "Now GO!" He ordered.
The blonde hero didn't argue and bolted for the aid station. ONE sized up the group of about eight hulking monsters and prepared to destroy them with a single punch when he sensed a presence above him. He looked up just in time to see a flash of black land in front of him, cracking the ground. From the back he saw that the figure was his height with dirty blonde hair with metallic arms wearing a black sleeveless hoodie, black jeans and sneakers. "Forgive my intrusion." They said in a strict sounding tone as they cocked back both arms that emitted a yellow light that he could see through the hoodie as well. "Incinerate." He spoke before thrusting his arms forward and turning the monsters to ash with a blast of fire so powerful it make Endeavor jealous.
The flames dissipated and to the hero's shock that blast only destroyed what it was intended to, doing no damage to the surrounding buildings whatsoever. The figure turned around and ONE saw that had very familiar features, with black and yellow cybernetic eyes. "Hello ONE. My name is Genos, please allow me to fight alongside you?" He asked, speaking fast and completely seriously.
"Ok." He answered stupidly casual.
Thunder rumbled across the sky as it began to rain. The area was a crubbled mess as All Might roared as he threw a right punch that his opponent dodged, allowing him to nail him with a low body shot to his left abdomen. The hero grimaced in pain as he coughed up a little blood, "Still can't hit me huh? I thought I already told you~. PROTECT YOUR WEAK POINTS! He yelled as he dug his fingers into The hero's side. Pain tore through All Might's body causing him to scream in pain, much to the monster's delight. He let out a chuckle and prepared to punch the human into mush when a flash of white bolted his way. He couldn't react as Mirko nailed him with a double flying side kick that sent him crashing through a building. "I finish turning the monsters over here into sashimi and I find you getting your ass kicked! Get it together All Might!" She demanded
He coughed up a little blood, the pain in his side still fresh, "I'm sorry. Thank you Mirko."
"Don't thank me yet." She disappeared in a flash as the monster came back to meet her, its fist came for her head and she shifted left, dodging and jumping away. In midair she spun and contorted her body, kicking and firing two air slashes at the monster. He takes the hits that cut into him that do no serious damage. Mirko lands, "Those same air slashes cut the other monsters to pieces. So this one's in another league." She thought as she speed blitzed forward, "Figures for a BOSS!" She spun and threw a kick that he blocks with his left arm, cracking the ground beneath him.
"Oooh~. You have some strong legs."
"Tell me something I don't know!" She spun into a triple kick with two landing heavy hits to his head, messing up his face.
"Ahh~." He moaned almost as if enjoying the pain. He was so into himself he didn't register the blue blur rushing towards him.
"I'm still here, villain!" All Might announced as he hit him in the face with all his strength. The wind pressure roared as All Might plunged the monster's face into the ground.
Mirko shielded her eyes from the wind, it finally died down and All Might stood triumphant. "Are we done now?"
All Might looked down at the beaten villain, the imprint of his fist embedded in his face with a contorted look. "Yeah, he's beaten."
"Alright. ONE should have taken care of the others by now so let's get the clean up started." She said as she began to walk away.
All Might rubbed his face, he took quite a beating during their fight because he couldn't land a hit, but it was over now. He coughed as smoke emitted from him, "ONE is here?"
"We headed over together but broke off to help separately." She looked over to see Ryuku injured on the ground, "Ryukyu!" She rushed over to help her friend. She was passed out and Mirko was shocked at her injuries, the biggest of which was the complete exposure of the muscles on the right side of her upper back. "What the hell happened to you?"
"She was hit with some kind of acid." A voice answered.
Mirko turned around to see an emaciated skeleton of a man wearing an All Might costume. Her ears flopped and she was completely flabbergasted, "What the actual hell?"
It started to rain heavily, "Long story, not important at the moment. What is is that we need to get Ryukyu and anyone else injured to some aid." Small Might explained as he stepped towards the heroines.
Mirko's rabbit instincts began to scream as she saw something emerge behind Small Might, "LOOK OUT!" She hollered as she bolted to the skinny man, pushing him out of the way and was blasted by a giant fist that sent her flying. She crashed through every wall of a building before coming through on the other side, but she never hit the ground as she was caught mid air and held bridal style by a strong pair of hands.
All the hair on All Might's body was standing on end as his body trembled looking up at the monster that stood over twenty meters tall. "The air on the surface shriveled me up a bit. Now I'm feeling much like my old self. Let's see if your attacks can hurt me even a little, Tiny Human." He said threateningly.
Small Might's eyes were wide with shock and horror. He had no words and no plan as he looked at the monster ready for blood. The rain set a gloomy setting over the city and the memory of Sir Nighteyes vision for him came into his mind. He stood up and sighed in realization, "So this is what you meant, Nighteye." He said in a low voice, accepting his fate. He gathered his courage as the rain picked up, "Why are you doing this?!" He demanded.
The monster crouched down, taking in the question and answering. "Because I am the Deep Sea King, Ruler of the ocean…All life comes from the ocean as if she were our mother. So as ruler of the ocean, I am the pinnacle of a pyramid that includes every living organism in the world." He answered seriously. "So, does that satisfy your final words human?" He raised a fist.
All Might had no words, his reasoning reminding him of the blue villain. Many thoughts and regrets went through his mind, but he was surprisingly calm. He spent so long fearful of what would happen if the symbol of peace was gone. But he not only found a worthy successor but someone who he was certain would change the world and became something he couldn't even fathom. A lot of promises were about to be broken but it couldn't be helped. "Melissa, Young Togata, forgive me. This is as far as I go…And Young Midoriya, I'm sorry." He thought, closing his eyes and accepting his fate.
There was a loud bang, but nothing in the realm of pain or death seemed to befall the shrunken hero. He opened his eyes, and as the rain poured down he saw the giant fist of the monster being stopped completely by ONE's left hand. Before he could comment on it a flash of light passed over him and another hero was in its face, "Incinerate." Were the only words spoken before the giant sea creature was blasted way by massive wave of fire.
With a hand still out stretched and his body emitting a yellow light, Genos face was serious with a mix of surprise. "Target was not eliminated, strange."
"Never assume an enemy is down until they're down." ONE said.
"That was 1500 degrees. That same heat turned the others into ash."
"He'll be back in a minute, in the mean time you need to go." ONE said turning to Small Might.
Genos looked at him with a serious yet quizzical look, All Might?" He said, noting the costume.
Y-yeah, sure. I'll leave this to you boys?" He said before going to help Ryukyu.
ONE sensed malice and saw the monster speeding towards them, "Take Ryukyu with you!" He exclaimed as he raised his left forearm to block a punch from Deep Sea King.
"That actually burned a little."
"A little huh? With all the heroes you and your minions have killed forgive us for being too delicate!" He grabbed the giant fist and spun before tossing him down the street, making him bounce off the ground before crashing into a building.
He pulled himself out of the ruble and eyed the two who were taking calm steps towards him, "His body seems to be affected by hydration." Genos stated.
"That's not too surprising, time to finish this." ONE said before they both disappeared in a flash.
Both appeared on each side of the monster who raised his arms to block ONE's punch to his right side and Genos fire enhanced punch to his left cheek, creating a shock wave that cracked the ground around them. "Ahh, so you two are a breed above these other human trash."
ONE got major Vaccine Man vibes upon hearing these words, "Let's teach him a lesson, Genos!"
"Yeah." He answered with a smile
The battle began with the two heroes as well as the monster moving at blinding speeds, ONE and Genos were both in perfect sync for two people who have never once fought together. They were both able to dodge and attack in equal measure, keeping the beast on his toes. ONE speed blitzed and sank a fist into the giant monster's stomach, stunning him in pain, he disappeared and allowed Genos to bombard him with multiple incineration blasts. The monster shook them off and in a flash he was behind the blonde cyborg, "Not good!" He thought as he turned to see an incoming fist. It never came as a kick to the head from ONE sent him flying.
Stay focused Genos!" ONE said as he landed. He took in his words and the two Zig zagged each other and closed in on the monster again, to the shock of both of them his mouth opened and a large eel looking tongue with sharp teeth came at them like a bullet, Genos was able to dodge with part of his shirt being torn. ONE went ahead and hit him with a backflip kick, making him bite off the eel and knocking him in the air, Genos blasted off the ground with fire and met him in the air "Lightning eyes!" He emitted a bight light from his eyes that completely blinded Deep Sea King.
"My EYES!" He cried in pain at the sudden brightness, burning of his retinas and his loss of sight.
"Machine Gun Blows!" The cyborg called out as he unleashed a barrage of blurring punches to the monster. ONE met him in the air and helped with the onslaught of punches, Genos finished he beating with a fire propelled kick that sent him back through the air, "ONE!" He gestured to the green clad hero to take his hand.
ONE got the message, "Yeah~!" He took the cyborgs hand, Genos began to spin vertically in the air before tossing him to towards the fish monster so fast he made several sonic booms.
ONE slammed into his opponent with a mighty impact, blue blood spewed from the fish's mouth from the hit. "Improvised special move: Sonic Overdrive!" ONE called out before creating twenty speed clones and pummeling the massive monster from all angles with with hundreds of brutal punches. The effect of the onslaught showed as Deep Sea King's body bulged from each hit, he spat out blood and couldn't defend himself from what seemed like an endless barrage, each punch was far more powerful than his own. ONE stopped his attack and appeared in front of the monster's stomach in a flash, right fist cocked back, "Roaring Sky Punch!" He called out as he threw an uppercut into the monster's stomach. The punch obliterated him completely and the wind pressure tore a hole in the clouds that allowed the sun to illuminate over the whole city. The gloomy atmosphere that had gripped the city seemed to fade instantly with the sudden shine and warmth of the summer sun. The storm was over, the threat had been quelled, and it was time to pick up the peices. ONE lands on the ground and moments later Genos arrived, "ONE?"
The green clad hero turned to the running cyborg, "Hey Genos."
The blonde cyborg stepped towards the independent hero, he looked up at the hole in the clouds, seemingly in awe at such power. "Such power. I take it this means you've defeated the last monster?"
"Yeah, thanks for the help."
"No need, the honor was mine."
ONE smiled, "Hm, let's go help clean this up."
"RIGHT!" Genos said, seriously.
The two walked with towards the medical station, the talked while they were fighting the fish monsters but now was a much better time. ONE was interested in the cyborg, it's not everyday some just drops on him and asks to fight with him, he sensed no malice or ill intent so didn't mind at all, "Hey Genos, I appreciate the aid but you kinda threw me for a loop earlier. Do you mind telling me who you are?"
"I'm a cyborg, I believe I was very clear on that earlier." He responded.
"Yeah I got that, but the way you dropped on me and asked to fight with me was a bit random."
"I see, my forwardness would definitely come across as strange. Forgive me, I found you because I wanted to ask a favor of you."
ONE was slightly surprised by this, "Okay, what is it?" He asked curiously as they both stopped walking and faced each other.
"Please, allow me to be your disciple?" He asked, completely serious.
ONE raisd an eyebrow behind his cowl, "Bless him, he's totally serious about this." He thought as he registered the cyborgs question. "I'm afraid I'm not really looking for a disciple right now, nor do I have the time. That being said, I would mind if we teamed up again." He answered respectfully.
Genos wasn't upset at all by his answer, "I see. Well then I would very much like to work with you again ONE?"
"While we're on the subject, are your cybernetics a result of your quirk or something else? You've got some serious firepower."
"Thank you for the praise, but no, my body was basically destroyed and I chose to become a cyborg. I'll give you the details another time."
ONE took in his words, "I respect that. So you're saying since you're a cyborg you fall outside the hero legalities, not too different from me actually."
Genos looked at the green clad hero, a small smile on his face as they walked to finish the job, he was now on friendly terms with ONE and will very likely be working with him more often. The power he shoed was incredible, and he wanted to see more of it.
The event of that day in Tokyo would come to be known as "The Storm". The results of what happened had serious effects on hero society, many people and heroes lost lives. Following the event multiple heroes effectively retired, starting a conversation of what truly makes a hero. Strength, Heart, Valor, what is most important and should every hero have it? Many questions were asked about what exactly it was that attacked Tokyo. Many of the corpses of the creatures were collected and none of them possessed any trace of human DNA. The current theory was that these were some form of sea creatures who had hidden in the unexplored world of the ocean until they made their presence known. The leader Deep Sea King, as confirmed by All Might, was invading the surface to take it over. He also credited ONE with defeating the threat and expressed his remorse for the loss of so many heroes.
The latest crisis was confronted and conquered. Hero society is once again questioned, people are starting to be on edge, almost as if it doesn't end here. Those in the shadows are moving, those who fight for peace must be prepared to not only be willing, but ABLE to act. What makes a hero? How does one become a hero? Are they born or are they made?...A Good question.
Chapter 24 is donezo! I honestly did not mean for this chapter to be so long it just kinda happened with all the dialogue put into each scene. A lot of stuff went down and it's about to get crazier, all with ONE being the hero that's needed. Some at UA now know, is this going to change anything? I kinda doubt it. I was actually conflicted to whether ONE should attend the training camp but I sided against it for reasons that will make more sense in the next chapter. The heroes dropped the ball because of unpreparedness and a lack of physical ability to handle the situation, who is this Genos and where does he come from? Stay tuned to fined out. Next time, class 1A goes to a training camp, ONE helps people, clashes with Endeavor, uncovers the LOV's plans, tracks down AFO and goes to save class 1A
