AN: And we are back with another chapter! Thank you all so much for the support on the last chapter, it really means a lot. So without future adieu let's just jump into it!
Calm
All of Japan was grieving, All Might had won but it came at a cost. The man who protected them for so long was no longer able to. And thanks to Izuku's and Kaguya's race around the world they almost doomed the entire world, the same one they wanted to protect.
"Izuku…Izuku…Izuku….come on I know you're awake." Said a voice calling out to the speedster.
Snapping his eyes wide open Izuku found himself floating in a black void of nothingness. "W-Where am I? Am I dead?"
"Not yet, but you would have been if you stayed in the water for any longer. Besides, if you were there would have been something far worse than Melissa chasing you." Said the voice. Izuku looked around.
"Who said that?" He asked, unable to find the source.
"You don't remember me? I talked to you once, remember. I was that voice you heard.' Izuku thought back and faintly remembered hearing this voice before.
"You wanted me to save someone. Who?" He asked.
'I can't tell you yet, but don't worry you'll meet them soon enough." Just then a bright light appeared behind Izuku. The light was blinding, so Izuku shielded his eyes, but he could barely see the faint outline of a girl through the light.
"Kaguya? Is that you?" The unknown person shook their head.
"Kaguya is dead." Explained the person in the light. "Well, technically not dead. The one you know is dead but there are many other versions of her in the multiverse."
"The multiverse….it sounds crazy but after what happened I have to believe it. So how do I get back? I need to see if Mei and the others are safe." Said Izuku.
"And you'll see them again. I only temporarily pulled your mind into here. Your body is currently recovering." The person then sighed, Izuku could faintly make out a smile. "You've been through a lot, rest now, we'll talk later I hope. And remember what Kaguya said, it's time for you to stop holding back.'
Waving their hand, another blinding light shined on Izuku. "Wait! I still have questions."
"Wait!" He yelled, waking up in the real world.
"Izuku!" Yelled someone, as they hugged him. Izuku then looked around to find himself sitting upright on a hospital bed with bandages around his arms and head.
Looking down, he also noticed who was hugging him, it was Mei. "Mei? You're safe…thank goodness." Izuku hugged her back, "Kaguya, she's…"
"I know. Clank explained what was going to happen. She sacrificed herself to save you, to save the world." Said Mei.
Izuku hugged Mei tighter, "It should have been me, maybe I could have controlled the energy. Maybe I could have redirected it, or used my speed to disperse it…Kaguya, my own daughter is dead because I was too weak, too slow."
"No, you're wrong. There was nothing you could have done.". Said Mei, hoping to comfort Izuku.
"There was something more I could have done." Izuku broke the hug, "I was holding back."
Mei wiped away a tear, "What?"
"Before Kaguya died, he told me that in the future we'd race and she would win. But she always knew I was holding back. She knew then, and she knew now." Izuku hung his head. "I wasn't running at full speed."
"I-Izuku, what are you saying?" Asked Mei. "Why didn't you use your full power?" Izuku grit his teeth, "Izuku tell me, why didn't you use your full power?"
"Because I'm scared." Answered Izuku. "Scared of my own power. You don't know what it feels like Mei, to have everything around you slow to a stop. To see the world in ways others couldn't even begin to imagine. To get lost in it, in a speed trance. I almost lost myself once to it, but now I know….I shouldn't have been afraid of it." Izuku lifted his hand and saw green sparks jumping off, "I should have embraced it."
Mei was about to say something when the doors to the room opened and in walked All Might, Aizawa, and Nezu. "It's good to see you up Midoriya."
Quickly changing his demeanor, Izuku smiled, "It's good to be up, although I am getting sick of hospitals."
"Well then I'm happy to inform you that you will be discharged soon." Said All Might, banged up.
"That's great news. No offense, but why are all three of you here?" Asked Izuku. "Am I in trouble again?"
"Technically yes, but this time with the US government. Something about a nuke? But Japan should be able to keep you out of trouble." Said Nezu. "But that's not what we came here to talk about. It's actually about what happened to those things in the sky."
"Oh that, but before that, can I ask you something first?" Nezu nodded. "How did All Might have my super speed?"
All Might looked at Nezu before looking back at Izuku, "Well, it was a serum. Made of your own blood."
Izuku and Mei were stunned, "Excuse me what?"
"We took some of your blood for research purposes and made a temporary speed enhancer serum." Explained Aizawa.
"When did you take my blood? I don't remember giving my permission." That's when Izuku realized. "You stole my blood…"
The three stood in silence, "How could you do that!?" Said Mei, standing up. "That's a complete violation of Izuku's privacy. Who did you even give his blood to?"
"Me." Said a voice behind All Might. The former number one hero recognized the voice.
"Y-You shouldn't be here." Warned All Might.
"It's fine, besides, I've always wanted to meet him," appearing behind All Might was Melissa Shield. Izuku's and Mei's eyes widened. "My name is Shield, Mel…."
But before Melissa could finish introducing herself Izuku threw the sheets off of him. "MELISSA!"
The entire room was hit with a powerful shockwave that threw everyone to the ground. Melissa was as well but before she had time to hit the floor Izuku ran in and grabbed her by the neck.
Running at a wall Izuku slammed the back of Melissa's head up against it. Melissa struggled to breathe as Izuku tightened his grip, "I'll kill you." With his eyes burning green, Izuku began to vibrate his hand.
"Midoriya! Wait! This is not the same Melissa that killed your mother!" yelled All Might getting up.
Izuku turned to All Might, "Bullshit! Melissa warned me that she'd be back."
"This isn't the same Melissa, because she was held hostage by the other Melissa." Explained All Might.
Raising an eyebrow, Izuku turned back to Melissa and eyed her up and down. The green light from his eyes dimmed, "You're not the same Melissa, but you have the same face." Tossing her aside the blond slid on the floor. "After losing my daughter, I wake up to find that the US government wants me, UA has taken my blood, experimented on it, and now someone with Melissa's face shows up. You all better start explaining what is going on." Izuku pointed at Melissa, "Starting with her."
Getting up Nezu thought it would be best that they move this conversation somewhere else to which Izuku readily agreed. Leading the way was Nezu, followed by Melissa, with All Might, Aizawa behind them, and last was Izuku holding hands with Mei.
All the way Mei noticed Izuku glaring at Melissa, and every time she would glance back Izuku would tighten his grip. Almost as if he was fighting the urge to kill her. Entering one of the conference rooms Izuku took a seat at the end of the table, as far as he could from Melissa, or just far enough to kill her.
Mei sat beside him, the air was electrifying, "So let's start with the big one. As you know this is Melissa Shield, but she is not the one who killed your mother." explained Nezu. "She was…"
But as Nezu was speaking Izuku put his hand up, motioning the principal to stop talking, "She can speak for herself. And make it simple."
Everyone turned their attention to Melissa, "Well to put it simply, the other me visited me about a year ago. She explained that she was a distant relative from the far future. Naturally as a scientist I was intrigued by their sudden appearance. I asked her what she was doing in the past and that's when she attacked. It happened so fast that I didn't even see her move. But from what I can remember she punched me in the face. I was knocked out and when I awoke I found myself in a pod. Turns out that she placed me in a cryo chamber. But as she put me to sleep I asked why she was doing this.
"Simple, I'm here to kill Izuku Midoriya and make his life a living hell." Quoted Melissa. "After that I was frozen for what seemed like months, I came to find out that it had been just that, months. My father reported me missing, this other me was attending UA, and you had either killed her or left her to die. Once she was dead, the pod opened up. After that I reached out to uncle Might here and explained everything. I've wanted to meet you for a while now, but Uncle Might feared what you'd do to me if you ever saw me. I know this sounds weird and you might not believe me, but I'm not the same Melissa that killed your mom."
Izuku stayed silent for a while before speaking, "I know you're not the same Melissa. I knew it when I grabbed you, it was your pulse. I could feel it and it was fast, like you were scared. That other Melissa wasn't scared of me. While I did jump to conclusions I won't apologize for what I did to you."
"I didn't expect one, it's only natural for you to hate me. I would too if someone did what she did." Said Melissa.
"Now that that's cleared up, how and who developed that speed formula?" Asked Izuku.
Melissa raised her hand, "Again that was me, my father was given a sample of your blood by Nezu."
Izuku turned his attention to Nezu, "Well? Is it true?"
Nezu nodded, "Yes. We wanted a way of stopping you if you'd ever choose to turn against us or the world. So we reversed engineered your blood and isolated the speed cells within you. What it resulted in was a serum that grants the person super speed for a limited amount of time. Usually about 10-20 minutes. What you saw All Might do was a sample of it."
"And where are you developing this serum? If a villain gets to it then it will spell disaster." Said Izuku.
"We are working on it on I-Island. A remote movable island that goes around the world…" but before Melissa could finish explaining Izuku left.
A few seconds later he came back with a hard drive in one hand, and two syringes of green liquid in the other. "You violated my trust. As long as I'm alive, no one else will have access to my speed again."
Vibrating both hands, Izuku disintegrated the hard drive and caused the two syringes to explode. Nezu flinched as he saw the items get destroyed in front of him. Melissa got up from her seat, "Our research, do you know how many days I put into that?!"
"I couldn't care less." Said Izuku. "Your research was done without my express permission. Neither of you will be doing this again, do I make myself clear?"
Melissa turned to Nezu, "Sir he can't just…"
"Oh but I can." Said Izuku, now standing behind Melissa. "Nezu knows that I have the power to stop you anytime I want. It's just a matter of how I want to do it. So I suggest you sit down and move on to another project."
"Alright Midoriya, you made your point. We won't do any more research on your speed without your permission." Nezu then looked at Melissa. "I assume you don't have a problem with that?"
"No sir…" reluctantly Melissa sat back down.
Nodding Izuku did the same, "Now to another question, what exactly happened? Those things in the sky, what were they?" Asked Aizawa.
"Those were rips in the fabric of space and time." Explained Izuku. "When Kaguya and I ran we somehow tore through it. Destabilizing multiple worlds and sending them hurtling towards each other. If we didn't do anything about them our world would have collided with another resulting in both dying."
"Other worlds? Are you saying the theory of multiverses is true?" asked Melissa.
"Yes, and so is time travel, for example, Kaguya Midoriya. The other speedster was Izuku's own daughter from the future. A future where I become a villain…" said Mei. "According to Kaguya, it will happen in a few years. I will build a machine that is capable of wiping out entire cities."
The heroes eyes widened, "B-But you're not, are you?" asked Aizawa.
"I was." said Mei much to their surprise. "But everything was already destroyed, Kaguya made sure of that. But even after all that she still wanted to kill me."
Izuku reached over and grabbed Mei's hand, "And before you say anything, if for some reason Mei does something that threatens humanity, I will stop her. End of story."
Seeing that Izuku refused to engage that subject again, Nezu and the others moved on, "I see, then we will let you deal with that if the time should arrive. But now we must talk about what is next. Effective immediately, All Might has retired due to him no longer being able to conjure his power. Villains are bound to become bolder once the official announcement is released. That's where you come in."
"What I'm about to tell you only few people know. My quirk is called One For All, a power that is nothing like the others." Explained All Might. "This quirk can be passed down to anyone I choose. Granting them my power."
Mei and Izuku couldn't believe what they were hearing, "That's impossible, there's no quirk on this earth that can do that." said Mei.
"Mei is right, that is just too far-fetched. And why are you even telling us this…unless…" That's when Izuku began to put it together.
All Might nodded, "Izuku Midoriya, will you become the next symbol of peace?"
Mei looked at Izuku, who had an expression of pure shock. "Me, become the next symbol of peace?" Izuku hung his head, "Thank you All Might, truly I'm honored that you'd give me this chance." All Might smiled. "But my answer is no…"
The hero lost his smile, "Can I ask why?"
Izuku got up from his seat, "Because if I were to take your power I'd only have to hold myself back even further. After this most recent fight I know what I have to do…stop holding back. I can save more people than all of Japan's heroes have in a second."
"Are you suggesting you'll become a vigilante?" asked Aizawa. "You do know that's a crime."
Izuku nodded, "I'm well aware, but even so, the benefits outweigh the consequences. And besides, who could stop me?"
The heroes feared this, they feared the day Izuku would realize that there would be no one on this earth that could ever catch him. "Think this over Midoriya, if you do this we'll be coming for you." said All Might.
Izuku was about to say something when Mei got up and grabbed Izuku by the arm and began to pull him, "I think we need to talk…"
Forcefully dragging Izuku, Mei went up to the rooftop. "Okay, now that we are alone, want to tell me what the hell that was all about?"
"What? I'm right aren't I? I can save people, I can make sure no one else dies." said Izuku.
"You are not a god Izuku. You may be fast but you can't be at two places at the same time." explained Mei. "You already tried to play god once, remember? This isn't about saving people is it?"
Izuku looked Mei in the eyes, "Of course it's not!" Yelled Izuku out of frustration. "Everyone I care about dies. My mom, my dad, even my own daughter who went through so much just to have a chance to meet me. But yet, when they needed me the most I failed." Falling to his knees Izuku had tears running down his face, "What's the point of being the fastest man on the planet, when I can't even be there for the ones I care about? Maybe this world is better off without a speedster."
Mei wrapped Izuku in a hug, "Do you remember the first time we met? You were so scared to even get close to me that I built a little claw extension just to get you to play with me. I also remember the first time we saw the hut, it was broken, trash riddled the sand, yet, you thought it would be a good place for a secret base. And look at it now, well it's destroyed but we'll rebuild it. What I'm trying to say is that you have gone through so much, more than any highschool kid should. But you always kept your smile, and that's what makes you, you. And you're wrong, this world will always need a speedster, The Green Blur. And I will always need the person underneath the mask, I'll always need Izuku Midoriya."
Izuku wiped the tears from his eyes, "Thank you Mei, I needed that."
Mei smiled, "No problem, come on, let's head back down to the others. Oh and try not to kill this Melissa, she's not the same one."
"We don't know that yet, but I won't do anything if she doesn't." Explained Izuku. "Oh right, and before I forget, I'm not going by The Green Blur anymore. My hero name will now be The Flash."
"The Flash, not bad." Mei's face then lit up, "You know what that means! New name, new suit!" She then grabbed his hand and pulled him back down the stairs. "Come on, let's get this meeting over with and rebuild the hut." The two then made it back down the stairs.
The meeting went on and Izuku was eventually let go and told that there would be an announcement for all hero students on Monday of next week. But for now Izuku needed to rest, however, several cities around Japan were still in shambles as a result of All Might's fight and Izuku's race. So as a gesture of good fate, Izuku spent the entire day helping rebuild the cities to their former glory. The days soon passed and the final building Izuku rebuilt was the hut. Melissa, not wanting to piss off Izuku any more, decided that it would be best if she stayed away, for now at least.
As Izuku helped where he could Nezu, who was sitting in his office, watched the news coverage. "It's amazing what he's capable of doing when he has the right mind set. Isn't that right, Nighteye?"
That's when we saw a man sitting down across Nezu's desk, he was tall, wore glasses and had on a suit. "That is yet to be seen."
"We'll see. So, what brings you here today? I assume this isn't a friendly visit." Said Nezu.
Nighteye nodded, "You are correct, this isn't a friendly visit." The hero then reached into his suit pocket and pulled out a folder. "The situation has changed, and not in our favor."
Grabbing the folder Nezu began to read it, his eyes widened as he read through it. "Then I believe it's time we bring him aboard."
"I agree, but not yet. I still need some time to figure some stuff out. Izuku Midoriya is the key to all of this, I just know it." Said Nighteye as his eyes changed.
"He may be, but he is also a student here at UA." Nezu turned his chair, "And their safety is my priority. Many of their parents have expressed concern for their safety. And now that All Might has retired it has become more of a concern for me as well. I think it's time to bring them here."
The students had been given a week off to collect themselves. Izuku spent it with Mei working on a new suit they were developing. But as Izuku worked he suddenly got a call, picking it up he noticed that it was Bakugo. "Hey Kachan, what's up? Kind of in the middle of something."
"Yeah I'm sure you are." Said Bakugo. "Get your ass back home, we have some company and you need to be here."
Izuku pulled off his goggles, "Huh, a guest? Who, and why do I need to go."
"Just shut up and get home. You got 5 minutes." Said Bakugo, hanging up the phone.
Izuku sighed as he put down the phone, "Sorry Mei, I'll be right back. Something came up."
Mei, who was working on the HUD in Izuku's suit, looked up. "That's fine, just hurry back. I'm almost ready for a test."
Nodding Izuku took off, making it home in 5 seconds he opened the door. "I'm back, so who's this guest you were talking about." Walking into the living room Izuku was surprised to find All Might sitting down, still banged up. "All Might?"
"Ah Izuku your back, good, take a seat." Said Mitsuki. Taking a seat on the sofa next to Mitsuki, Izuku was still a bit surprised. "Go ahead All Might."
"Thank you, well I'm here on behalf of Nezu and UA. You see, the school has been worried about the safety of students recently. With my retirement and villains becoming more bolder we think it's time to turn UA into a boarding school for heroes. That is why I'd like to ask permission for both Midoriya and Bakugo to come and live at UA."
Mitsuki smiled, "Sure! You can take this twerp with you." she said, smacking Bakugo over the head.
"What the hell was that for, you old hag!?" yelled Bakugo.
"You need it! You weren't there to save Izuku from those villains. You need to get stronger." said Mitsuki, slapping bakugo over the head once again. Hearing that, Bakugo stayed silent as he held his head. "You have our permission to take Bakugo, but Izuku is another thing. We may be his guardians but he should decide for himself."
They all looked at Izuku, "It's your call son." said Masaru.
Izuku clenched his fists, "I owe the two of you everything. You gave me a place to stay, food, clothes, you've lectured me, praised me, and there's nothing in this world that I can do to pay you back. And for that I thank you, but I think this might be for the best. I don't want to be a burden on you anymore than I have to."
Mitsuki's eyes softened, "You don't have to thank us for that, not now, not ever. You'll never be a burden, we took you in because we wanted to, you are and will always be part of this family. We may not be your real parents but we love you like our own. And we will support you with any decision you make."
Izuku smiled, getting up he walked in front of the two and hugged them. "Thank you."
Mitsuki and Masaru hugged him back, "We sure are going to miss the both of you."
It was now the weekend before class was set to start up again which meant it was now move-in day. The students were taken to their new dorms, standing before them was a multilayer building split down the middle and in two. "Alright everyone, welcome to your new place of residence for the foreseeable future. Genders are split and you have your assigned room, get to unpacking."
Aizawa expected them to walk towards the door but instead they began to talk amongst each other. "What are you doing? It's going to take you a while to…" but before he could finish his sentence a flash of green light hit the hero.
"5 seconds, slower than I thought. Boxes are difficult to hold and run with." Said Izuku walking out of the dorms. "If this hero thing doesn't work out maybe I can be a professional mover. "
"Done already Midoriya?" Asked Mina.
Izuku nodded, "Yeah, everything is already inside your rooms, all you need to do is unpack. Oh right, before I forget, Momo, Todoroki, can you two tone it down a bit next time. Remodeling a room and fitting a queen size bed inside wasn't easy."
Momo blushed, "Sorry about that. I just wanted to feel more at home."
"Nah it's fine. Anyway, let's go check this place out." The class then followed Izuku inside and began exploring the dorm.
It was now nighttime and Izuku was up in his room looking at a picture of his parents. "I guess this is a new beginning for me. Make sure to watch over me you two."
Laying down on the bed Izuku breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes for a moment. But in that moment of relaxation something happened. Normally when someone closes their eyes you see nothing, but in Izuku's case he saw something. Something white and glowing in the distance.
Izuku tried to force himself awake but found that he couldn't. That's when the light suddenly got closer, "Help me…"
Hearing a voice Izuku looked around, "Help me…" said the voice once again.
"Is that light, talking?" Asked Izuku, looking at the ball of white light. Instinctively Izuku reached out for it.
But once his hand touched it, both it and himself began to scream out in pain. Izuku fell to his knees as he tried to pull his arm back but found that he couldn't. "What is going on!?"
"Help me!" Cried out the light once again, but this time in a much clearer voice.
"It's okay!" Yelled Izuku. "I'm here! Tell me what's wrong!?"
"Pain…so much pain…don't want this….need help.." said the voice. However before they could say anything else the light disappeared.
Back in the real world Izuku snapped his eyes open, his breathing was heavy, and he found himself sweating.
Looking around the room Izuku found that some of his stuff was either thrown to the ground or burned by something. A glass door that led to a balcony was shattered, but by what, "W-What happened?"
"Izuku! Are you alright in there?" Asked Bakugo, banging on the door. "Come on open up!'
Slowly making his way towards the door Izuku opened it and found everyone in his class standing outside his room. "W-What's going on?" he asked, barely able to stand.
"That's what we want to know." Said Iida. "The building began to shake and we all suddenly heard thunder. We thought it was Kamanari at first but we saw green light coming from your room and ran up here."
"I don't remember that…I remember…hearing a cry for help…and I felt as if I was thrown to the side." Explained Izuku.
"Crying for help? I didn't hear anything." said Jiro.
"I heard it…it sounded like a kid crying for help. They were in pain…" Izuku took a deep breath. "Maybe I'm just tired, sorry about this guys. I'm fine now, although, Aizawa is going to be pissed that I broke the glass."
After that the teachers were informed about the incident and after being checked out by Mei, Izuku was allowed to go back to the dorms. But Mei did want to run more tests on Monday.
UA: Monday
The class had a different feeling now that they were all living together. People were talking to each other more and were being more loud than usual.
But that soon changed when Aizawa walked into the classroom, "Alright everyone settle down and take your seats. Today is going to be simple, you will be all working on improving yourselves. This means developing a super move. Everyone head over to Delta Facility, from there we'll meet other heroes and help you to develop such a move."
The students quickly moved out and just like Aizawa said they found other heroes to help them. Getting to work quickly everyone went off to practice or came up with a super move. Those like Bakugo already had something in mind, a concentrated blast from the palm of his hand that could punch through anything. Or as he called it, AP Shot.
Izuku on the other hand was trying to perfect a technique he picked up watching Kaguya fight. Focusing, Izuku began to vibrate his body at super speeds. "Alright Aoyama, fire!"
Aoyama wasn't sure, "Will this actually work? I can turn down my laser but it will still hurt if it hits."
Nodding Izuku readied himself, "I'm sure, now fire!"
Firing his laser at Izuku the speedster stayed still. The beam of light was on target and was going to hit Izuku when it suddenly went right through him. Once the beam went past him Izuku stopped vibrating, "Yes! It worked! Intangibility!"
"That was impressive Midoriya." said All Might walking towards Izuku, still bandaged up.
Izuku turned, "All Might, you should be resting, you're still injured."
"I'll be fine, I just came to see how everyone was progressing." Explained All Might. "And by the looks of things, I say it's going fairly good."
"I'd say so." Said Izuku, rubbing the back of his head. "So want to tell me why you're really here?"
"Can't get anything past you. Well, I'm here about my offer again." Said All Might.
Izuku sighed, "Thought so, but my answer is the same All Might. You need to give it to someone more deserving. Not me, an unstable kid who can blow up planets by moving too fast. You need someone who already inspires hope."
"Wait, was that second part true?" Asked All Might.
Izuku shrugged, "Beats me. Maybe? Regardless, I'm not changing my mind on this All Might. Sorry, but you'll have to find someone else. Now if you don't mind, I have to get back to training."
Rejected once again, All Might watched as Izuku walked away. "Maybe you're right kid, maybe I should find someone else. Sir Nighteye had someone in mind, I wonder if they'll be a good pick."
Elsewhere, Yakuza Hideout
Shigaraki was being escorted by two men wearing masks. The hallway was dark but at the end of it Shigaraki could see the faint glow of light.
Reaching out, Shigaraki was met by a man wearing a purple jacket and wore a plague doctor's mask, surrounded by men. "Shigaraki from the league of villains. What a pleasure to finally meet you. Would you like some tea?"
Shigaraki looked at the tea before turning his attention back to the man in the mask, "I'm not here for tea Overhaul. I'm here to talk business."
"Then by all means." Overhaul sat down, "Let's get started."
"I'm here to offer you an alliance. If we join our forces then we should be able to take on all of the heroes in Japan." Explained Shigaraki.
Overhaul was about to say something when one of his men leaned in and whispered something. "Again? Who the hell is this guy anyway?"
"What's wrong?" Asked Shigaraki.
"Someone has been attacking my trucks for the past two days. At first I thought it was the heroes. But I soon realized that wasn't the case." Explained Overhaul.
Shigaraki raised an eyebrow, "How can you be so sure?"
Overhaul waved his hand and made a bodyguard hand over some pictures. Laying them down in front of Shigaraki, Overhaul pointed at one. "You think a hero would do this?"
Shigaraki looked at the photos and was shocked. On one were the corpses of several men, blood running down as they laid lifeless. Another picture had the image of a man holding his neck as it bled. "And that was just yesterday. 40 men killed, 8 transport vehicles destroyed, millions lost. But I can't seem to kill this bastard. Everytime my men find him they immediately start shooting but every time he gets back up as if nothing ever happened. And the way he kills is brutal as well." Explained Overhaul.
Taking a closer look at the photos Shigaraki noticed something, "What is this, on the walls?"
"That, that is his signature marking. Three claw/scratch marks. How about we make a deal, help me with this problem and I'll help you with yours." proposed Overhaul.
"Do you have a way to take down the speedster?" questioned Shigaraki.
Overhaul smiled underneath his mask, "I actually have two ways. So what do you say, want to team up?"
"Two ways? How? Some sort of machine." said Shigaraki.
"Not a machine, but a person. I have one person who can get rid of the boy, permanently. Any more you have to agree to work with me. So I ask once again, will you team up?" asked Shigaraki.
Shigaraki nodded, "Sounds like a plan to me."
Alley, Unknown City
Walking down an abandoned alley was someone wearing a trenchcoat, their face hidden. As they walked however the man's ear twitched, "I know you're there. I also know you've been following me since I killed those men. You're no cop, so who the hell are you?" the man asked.
"I'm surprised you could tell I was following you." said another man floating down into the alley.
"Yeah well you'd be surprised at what I can do." Suddenly a SNIKT sound was heard and three blades came out from each of the man's fists. "So who the hell are you?"
"Easy, I'm not here to fight you. I just want some answers." said the man landing on the ground.
That's when the man with the claws saw his face, "You! Another clone! No! Not again, never again!" the man with the claws jumped towards the other man with his claws at the ready.
Raising his hand the man who floated down suddenly made a ball of green energy appear in his hand, "Guess we are doing this the hard way." The alley was then engulfed in a bright yellow light.
AN: Dun DUN DUN! A bit of a slow chapter, but that ending! If you've read some of my other work you know who they are and you know what's coming. That's right, it's crossover time! This is going to be my most ambitious story plan ever so wish me luck. Theories are welcomed to write them down! In the meantime please stay safe.
