-A year later from last chapter.-
-At the U.A. gym.-
The sturdy hero Eijiro and his rival Tetsutetsu were having a friendly spar. They knew graduation was coming soon and the two hard heads wanted to be as strong as possible. They both had a spark in their eye with every blow.
The whole class was doing their own thing with the last day off before graduation. Koji was helping Rikido makes rabbit snacks for Koji pet. Ochaco was babysitting Tsuyu siblings. Denki was trying to talk Kyoka into a date, much to the latter annoyance. Katsuki and Tenya were scheduled to a spar next. Lastly Shoto was going to meet Wong at his place of business along with Toru as support. Even the teachers were having a meeting about the past couple of years.
The two manly students ended up with a tie again, so Tenya put them on the bench to recover.
Tenya was still missing his friends but he was starting to recover emotionally, which is more than Katsuki. No matter what they did he seem convinced that his friend would return while everyone else believe they were all dead. He wouldn't listen to anyone who says anything else.
Katsuki was ready. He needed something to keep himself busy. He knew that he would have one more therapy secession and could be free of that nonsense. He would never believe that Deku was really gone.
Katsuki got ready his hands pointing behind him so he could fly at the class Vice representative.
Once the two were ready they rush into each other determine to win. Tenya needed a win, things seem to be going downhill for him. He seemingly only getting faster at a snail's pace and his grades went way down. He tries his best but lost his motivation. He knows that he should do better but only was able to really get his act together at the end of last year.
Katsuki was getting the upper hand easily jumping over Tenya and delivering punches and kicks in his direction. They weren't allowed to directly use quirks on each other which is fine, he has been working on his hand to hand and wanted to show off. "Come on four eyes you will have to do better than that. Give me your all." He said, annoyed he was holding back. He decided to get cocky and throw a lazy punch at Tenya.
Tenya block with his arm, "You want my best I'll give it to you." He head butted him. "Your skills are good, but I WILL find a way to surpass you." He said showing an ounce of the young hero he was before the decimation.
Katsuki was knocked back and smirk, he needed a good match. He used a small explosion to get up and jumped up trying hit him from behind. "I said give it your all." He said changing angle of attack, only to be stopped as Tenya use his engine to deliver a hard spin kick. Katsuki actually was surprised by this.
"Explosion punch." He said using his quirk to fly at him.
Tenya jumped to the side, "Recipro Burst." He said kicking at him.
Katsuki was getting angrier and sweatier. He jumped behind him and grabbed Tenya in a full nelson, he jumped up and suplex him taking him out of the ring.
Tenya got up, "I yield." He knew when he was bested. Much to Katsuki annoyance how is he going to improve without a good fight.
"You use to be an actual challenge." He admit.
"I know." Tenya said. "I just seem weaker since they went away."
"Bullshit, Izuku is annoying but he wouldn't want his absent to hamper your goal." He said, angry this hero in training gave up, it was a waste of time.
"He not here." He said.
"Yet anyways." Bakugo said, "Spar with me when you actually put some effort into it."
"Whatever you say Katsuki." He said.
"Call me by him hero name, Nuclear Shadow." He said.
-Meanwhile at the Asui resident.-
Ochaco had a day off and since she got herself banned from the school gym for being too rough, like there is such a thing. She swears Bakugo is the only one willing to spar with him who wasn't a teacher. They all got the day off and Ochaco decided to go see the Asui family.
Uraraka remember how she first meet the family. Tsuyu left her phone to charge during class, so when Satsuki (Tsuyu 6 year old sister) call it, she was so happy until it was revealed that Ochaco wasn't Tsuyu. The youngest Asui started to cry, Asui Beru the mother of the family pick up the phone a bit upset that the youngest cry until Ochaco plead her case. The two apologize and Ochaco offer to return anything small to them the next day off.
At first Samidare (Tsuyu ten year old brother) didn't know what to think of her. She quickly got in his good graces. So good Mister Asui asked if she was available for babysitting. At first she thought it be weird but for some reason she says yes.
It was crazy but she enjoys it, it kept them all busy. She tries to babysit them once a month, if she wasn't out of town for school, future hero work or studying. She never felt they replaced her parents but they were one of the few people to get her to smile now a days.
She knocked on the door, to see Ganma (Tsuyu father) answered, after Ochaco put her shoes up she went in. Hugging the now eight year old Satsuki, "Hello how my favorite littlest tadpole doing?" She asked.
"I am doing fine, Ochaco. I heard about this letter to the decimation program, can you help me? Ribit." She said.
"Sure who the letter for?" She asked happily.
Her smile fades at this, "Nēchan." She said. "I saw some commercials about someone collecting those letters."
Ochaco saw those letters herself, to her it was nothing more than a PR stunt but maybe it would do her some good to get all her emotions out, "And you need me to help check your spelling."
She nodded happily. Ochaco help her and here is what they wrote.
Dear Nēchan,
I just wanted to write a letter, I miss you so much. I been to the grocery store, I found a new brand of jelly I thought you would like, until I remember that you are currently gone. I miss you so much, I am sorry I didn't say goodbye before you left me behind.
Onii-chan been upset lately, he has been eating more jelly lately. He really miss you, he wants to be a good big brother but he not you. We both wish he was. He even says he will continue on being Froppy in your place. He is not you, he wants to be you so badly, and so do I.
Okaasan and Otōsan been spending more time with us now that you're gone. They seem more tired now than ever.
Love,
Asui Satsuki.
Ps. Sorry if you never get your address, I was unable to find your new address.
Ochaco finished the letter working on the spelling. "It a good letter." She said, she wondered if she should do one for her parents.
"Thanks, I try getting the others to read it but no luck, ribit." She said.
Ochaco held the little mint patty wanting to protect her.
-At the police station.-
Eraserhead was at a meeting about the crime in the city and how the Pro-heroes can fix the problem.
She sat down waiting for the officer to speak. The Commissioner General enter the room. He wasn't the same one that help take down All For One. She has been working to earn the city respect but due to all the crime from the decimation and All Might death the criminal underbelly been coming out of the woodwork.
"Commissioner Beifong, have you been able to find the League of Villains?" He asked.
"We have reason to believe the individuals known as Dabi real name unknown, Spinner real name Iguchi Shuichi, Mr. Compress also known as Sako Atsuhiro, Mustard real name Masutādo, and the individual known as Kurogiri have all either been captured or have evidence that they survived the decimation. We manage to capture some of them and they claim the rest were decimated." Meaning Shigaraki Tomura real name Shimura Tenko, Himiko Toga, Stain real name Akaguro Chizome, Twice real name Bubaigawara Jin, Muscular real name unknown, Moonfish real name unknown, and any other members were all decimated. Some were recorded when they went, others only proof was the other members testimony which was worth less than a cup of coffee.
"I think it would be foolish to assume that the individuals are truly decimated." He said.
"I agree, but due to the unknown nature of decimation we have to assume everyone is decimated until we got evidence to the contrary." She said, "I do not like this any more than you do, but we cannot waste police resources hunting down people who no longer exist."
"I agree with your logic, but feel that it might be inaccurate conclusion." He said.
"Listen I appreciate your help but I need evidence and not a pro heroes instincts." That the pro heroes instincts were superior to the cops planning, that the pro heroes have less bureaucracy than cops, or that rules need to change she hears it all and didn't listen to any of it. "How is your school doing?" She asked.
"The students show potential." He said.
"Good good with all the heroes that died recently we need them to help out." She said. "Didn't one of your friends pass away recently."
"He wasn't my friend." He said, "We just work together."
"What was his name? Gran Torino?" She asked.
"Yeah that is him." He said.
"I can only hope the next generation is as able to work with the law as he was." She said.
"They will." He said, he did believe they have a bright future.
She smiled, "Good maybe they will. That will be all." She said. "Hey you ever been to the hero bar Kamino?"
"No I thought it was a former villain hideout." He said.
"Some guy bought it rebuild it, for heroes saving that kid there made it a bit of a tourist attractive." Plus since it wasn't near any major roads near it heroes could get a drink I'm relative peace.
-The road near the Sanction Sanctorum.-
Shoto been meeting with Wong in public places over the past year. (The library, a food court, the botanic gardens, outside of stores). He was told that he finally got Wong trust so he will go somewhere Wong call the Sanction Sanctorum. He didn't fully trust him so he asked Toru to come with him, totally invisible so if Wong try something she could help.
He noticed that the neighborhood wasn't the friendliest place. He found the building nothing special about it at first glance, just a boring old building. He then noticed that it was missing stuff, not a single window had a crack much less a broken window. There was no graffiti nor weeds growing on it while it neighbors homes were falling apart at the seams. This place only seem old but not ruin.
He double check Toru to make sure she had her gloves and boots off, stealth was their only defense.
"Are you ready Hagakure?" He asked, no response. "Did I lose her again?" He asked, he should have put a bell on her when he had a chance.
"I'm here, I got you good." She said. Shoto didn't find it funny but didn't care enough to comment on it.
"Remember don't talk or do anything aggressive unless he starts it." He said, trusting the invisible girl.
"I know, I am not an airhead you know." She said.
"Okay let's go." He walked and the building seems to change getting less dusty and bigger. It was much better and the boring windows turn into one window, circle with curves over it.
He found it strange could it be a quirk. He knocked on the door, and Wong let him in keeping the door open for a few seconds more than he should.
"Come have a seat." He said, as they suddenly moved what looked like a nice living room with a tea set on a nice table surrounded by three chairs. One on one side of the table and two on the others.
"Have a seat but first." He made some hand movement as a pink robe appear and flew and put itself on the air and when the belt tie itself tight. When it didn't fall Shoto was sure Wong knew. "There now your friend is decent."
"I think we were caught." She whispers to Shoto. She hope he wasn't a super villain.
"Have a seat you to." He said showing he wasn't angry. He admitted he didn't expect her to show up but figure that if he wanted the UA students help the more of them that understood what happen the better.
The two sat down, Shoto drank the tea even if Toru didn't.
"I am assuming you didn't bring me here just for some tea." Shoto said surprised when the small cup refill itself up.
"I think that it time I told you something that should have been told when we first meet. How half the people in the universe went missing." He said. Toru couldn't believe that he knew this.
"What you knew what happened, why didn't you tell the authority?" She asked more confused than angry.
Wong just looked at her in a way that suggest he was looking her in the eyes, "Because they wouldn't believe it." And with a wave of his hand several lights appear in the shapes of circles and waves
"This is your Earth." He said making a glowing version of a glove appear in front of them. Toru try to grab it but her hand went through it without any resistance. "And this is mine." Wong said making another energy earth appear.
"Wait your from another dimension?" Shoto asked.
"Yes, I apologize for the lie of omission." He said. He knew this was important and should be revealed at the right time.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked, if this was possible why did he comes to this world.
"Would you have believed me before you got to know and trust me?" He asked.
Shoto let out an audible sigh. "No, I do not think I would." He admit he always found him strange but did start to trust him.
"Like your world my too had super heroes." Various figures appear, one kinda look like a red and yellow robot or at least a man in a suit. One of a green hulking beast in purple pants. One of them was a blond wearing a type of armor, with a massive hammer. A man in blue armor with red and white highlights and a rounded shield that he threw. Several more appear a figure in black with red highlights and a metal helmet that looks kinda like a metal gasmask fuse with a biker helmet. A bipedal racing wearing what looks like a jumpsuit and firing off guns. There were several others that neither Todoroki nor Hagakure recognize.
"These heroes went by several names, Avengers, the Revengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and more." He said showing off the groups listed and more not so.
"They fought in many battles." He shows the Battle of New York, the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Guardians Battle of Xandar, the Battle of Sokovia, Spiderman battle against the Vulture, and Doctor Strange battle against the Zealots and Dormammu.
"And while there were some loss's." He said showing the cruise ship that broke in happen due to the Vulture, the death of Yondu, and the defeat of Iron man against Captain America.
"They were able to manage until the day Thanos went after the Infinity Stones." He said.
"Thanos? Infinity Stones? This isn't making sense to me, you Shoto?" He better not have joined a cult.
"I have no idea, let's start with the rocks why are they so important?" Shoto asked.
"Stones and their story begins before the beginning, before the universe as we know it was formed there were six singularities, and when the universe was birth they form the Infinity Stones. The blue Space Stone, the yellow Mind stone, the red Reality Stone, the purple Power Stone, the green Time stone, and lastly the orange Soul Stone." He said making astral projections of each stone appear as he spoke.
"Individually they can bring great destruction as well as great miracles." Wong said.
"And combine?" Shoto asked.
"They would temporarily make one a god of existence itself." He said.
"Okay, but how does this affect us?" Shoto asked. "And how does this Thanos person come into the picture."
"He the last of the people from the planet called Titan. There was a famine, too many mouths and not enough food. He came up with a plan for his planet, kill off half of the population so the rest will thrive." He said showing off Thanos and his home planet.
The idea horrified the two killing off so many was a good idea.
"He was known by many names the Mad Titan, prophet, Genocidal Maniac, survivor and more." He said. "He went to other planets stealing their resources for his cause and killing off half the population, 'for their own good'." He said with a scowl.
"He felt that was never enough, he felt he needed to remove half the population from the universe to deal with overpopulation." He said.
Shoto was confused there might be a few countries where over population was a problem, but it was far from a major problem. "How did he do it?"
"He went on a campaign to gather all the Infinity Stones, he went to Xandar to for the Power stone, he went to Thor and the Asgardians for the Space Stone." He said showing the onslaught from the others.
"He invaded Knowhere, attack all that stood in his way." He said showing people getting killed, men, women, and children alike if not by Thanos himself by his men.
"He managed to gather the Soul by unknown means." His powers were strong but the Soul Stone was protect from mystic eyes.
"The Guardians and a small sect of the Avengers team try to make a stand against him." He said showing the battle on Titan, how Thanos manage to bring the moon down and they just keep fighting. "He managed to get my friend to give him the Time Stone."
"Why did he do that?" She asked.
"I never fully knew." He said. He was told most of the details but wasn't sure what he saw but knew if he was told it wouldn't work but was told to get help before the end.
"Then what happen?" Shoto asked. He needed to know more. He didn't know why but this was making sense.
"He went to Battle of Wakanda, Wakanda is an African country from my Earth, rich in a valuable material call Vibranium and that all you need to know about the place, that and they great warriors. They try to keep Thanos forces away while they try to destroy the last Infinity Stones."
"They manage to hold him off long enough for Scarlet Witch to destroy it along with Vision who needed the Mind Stone to live." He shows her killing the witch killing the android.
"Unfortunately due to the Time Stone he was able to undo the destruction to the Android, killing him and gathering the Mind soul." He said. "The hero Thor, try to impale him with his new weapon." He said showing Stormbreaker impaling Thanos in the chest. "He should've gone for the head. Thanos was able to use the power of the stone and with a snap half of our both universes randomly lost half their population." he shows him making snap and people from both worlds being decimated, the Princess of Wakanda Shuri, to the three Lurkers all failing to capture a common crook due to being decimated, the Wasp and her family, the Blue Wild, Wild Pussycat Pixiebob going DIA* during a rescue, to Spiderman disappearing on Titans with all the Guardians sans Rocket and Nebula, Endeavor turn to dust as he went after a bank robbery, and a figure with one eye patch and a woman disappearing as the bald one mess with a pager.
"So that is what happened." Shoto said, believing him. "I at least know what happened now." He said. "Now what?"
"We have to wait until the remains of the Avengers can find the Infinity Stones, as an act Thanos use the Gauntlet a second time so that he could make the Stones go throughout the universe." He said.
"Is there anything I can do?" He asked.
"Listen Shoto, Toru it will take time but when they gather the Stones they will bring everyone who was decimated back, when that happen I would like you and your heroes friends to stand by my side for the battle."
"What if you're wrong?" Toru asked angrily, "What if our friends never come back, then what?"
"Then you never have to see me again." He said, "I am afraid there is nothing more I can show you for now. If you want me to explain it just call first." He said as the swoosh into another room before the two heroes in training. "You can keep the robe."
The invisible girl put it up on a hat rack, "No thanks."
He just watch the two until they were out of sight, close the door and went to work.
The two talk, "Do you believe that nonsense?" She asked in a disbelieving voice.
"Yes." He said.
"How everything he says was impossible." She said.
"Hagakure, if you told me a day before the incident, that half our class and around half of the school would go missing without a warning I would have stay that be unlikely. If you told me Endeavor would disappear without a fight, I would have laughed and ignore you, if you told me that half the city would disappear without a villain ransoming it ahead of time that unlikely. Id you told me that half the planet's population would disappear I would have said that was impossible but it happened." He said.
"Why must you keep fighting, why can't you accept it?" She asked.
-At the Asui resident.-
"Ochaco do you think that Tsuyu will return?" She asked, she wasn't sure if she was really gone.
-At the U.A. Gym.-
"Bakugo wait, I need to know why have you not accepted the incident?" Tenya asked. This was more than Tenya could understand.
"There are plenty of extra who believes that what happened was inevitable-"
-At the Asui resident.-
"-That forgetting them is the best thing to do-"
-With Shoto and Toru.-
"-That there nothing we can do, but not me." Shoto stated. He will find a way to save the day even if he does it alone.
-At the Asui resident.-
"That believe we can't do anything, not me." Ochaco said.
-At the school gym.-
"People don't believe they matter, not me." Katsuki said. He will fight for his friends even if he is doing it alone.
"Not us." Tenya said, with a smile.
To be continued…
Will our heroes be able to grow up with half their friends gone. Will Class 1-A decided to play it safe or risk it all to make sure the one responsible for the snap doesn't do it again. Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z. D'oh again?
Author notes:
Nobody asked but I would like to explain how exactly I choose who lives and who get decimated. Well for one thing, what happens to everyone but seven characters was totally random. The nine members are the four members of Tsuyu immediate family who all lives, Kyoka parents because I felt lazy live, For One who was decimated because without All Might nor Izuku he be too OP, and I decided that both of Ochaco parents who got decimated for the story.
I made a wheel which the names of all of class 1-A and when I saw Izuku name first I knew I had to do it. I choose the first ten names to be used to fill up an air filter. I then did the teachers the same way. The rest were decided by a coin app, if heads lives if tails decimated.
