Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here the story is underway as the pro heroes of Japan are meeting on what to do next as they got the gist of an oncoming threat that may put Earth at stake…

And what implications would arise…

Well then, read on and enjoy!


Ch. 3: Zenrei no nai kōgeki

Suddenly, the monitor blared, and David Shield appeared, revealing that he and Melissa are at the space station as they are monitoring the solar system, and there he told All Might and the others that he made a horrifying discovery, in which the alien insects are able to travel to other planet-sized objects the size of a huge asteroid and propagate, dramatically increasing their numbers.

Moreover, David said he sent space drones to monitor anything and discovered that several planet-shaped asteroids are traveling and found out that huge numbers of alien insects have inhabited the said asteroids and the footage revealed that the alien insects are capable of firing fiery energy blasts that can reach outer space.

The footage that David showed caused All Might to stand up and asked David if this is really possible, which David grimly nodded.

"Seriously?!"

"Yes, Toshinori."

"…"

"We seemingly underestimate those alien insect-like things. We didn't expect that they are capable of such feats."

"What kind of…"

"We made an estimate, some of the asteroids may arrive at our solar system in a matter of less than a day…"

"No…"

"…"

The military officials and the pro heroes are shocked to see this and wondered if this is possible that the alien insects would attack Earth, and there the Public Safety Commission said that to combat the threat, the hero schools will have to have a mandatory curriculum where the hero students will be deployed to face the alien insects should the threat reach Earth.

Aizawa stared in silence as he seemingly do not approve this, with Midnight and All Might voicing their opposition, but the head of the Public Safety Commission said that this is now a global matter as they are now facing a threat that is 100 times graver than the normal villains.

The monitor blared and there the United States of America president appeared and urged the UA teachers to calm down, as he told Midnight and All Might that the militaries from all over the world may not be able to cope this threat by themselves and said that the pro heroes in America agreed to volunteer to do military works to help combat the impending threat.

"Mr. All Might…Miss Midnight…"

"…"

"…"

"I understand your concern…but this is of utmost importance. Even the pro heroes in the US agreed to our proposal."

"…"

"…"

"We are now facing a crisis that is almost five times that of facing a powerful villain."

"…"

"…"

Bidenyu also said that pro heroes from other countries willingly volunteered to put their lives on the line to defend Earth, and tells All Might that the fate of this planet lies on whether the hero students are willing to take the risk.

"So, Mr. All Might... please understand this."

"I…"

"Understand that you are concerned for your students and fresh graduates…"

"It's just…"

"You must realize that we are not facing just a villain…but a threat that would spell the end of humanity."

"Mr. President…"

"Your country must participate in this as well…"

"…"

All Might was silent as he is uncomfortable about the fact that his successor would possibly be drafted into the military, and Gran Torino looks on, concerned that All Might is wavering. This would be a very difficult situation for the former Symbol of Peace.

Suddenly, NASA contacted Bidenyu and said that an Asteroid is slowly passing by, and using the space drones, the Shields, Bidenyu, the UA teachers and the Public Safety Commission members saw the live feed, where they saw the alien insect-like beings are there, and David and Melissa can be heard gasping in horror at what they are seeing.

"No way!"

"Papa…look…"

"…"

"…"

"How can they…"

"If something like that is possible…"

"Melissa…prepare yourself…"

"Papa…look!"

The asteroid is seen approaching near the space station's vicinity, and the live feed shows that one of the alien insect-like beings, resembling a giant beetle, OPENED its shell-like back, and fired what appeared to be a concentrated laser, where it is heading for the space station's direction.

David and Melissa realized that they have no time and no chance of escaping, and they urged All Might and the UA teachers to consider what the Public Safety Commission suggested, as they believe that this is the only way to combat the upcoming threat.

"Toshinori!"

"Uncle Might!"

"Consider what your country is urging…"

"The pro heroes of Japan must work together!"

"All rests in all of you!"

"Please tell Deku that I will not forget him."

"Goodbye, Toshinori."

"Goodbye, Uncle Might…"

As the space drones continue the live footage, the blasts that the insect-like beings fired struck the space station, hitting the center, where it exploded, killing David and Melissa Shield, just as the communication from the space station was lost.

All Might stood there in horror as he realized that he has lost one of his trusted friend and confidant, just as Nezu realize that this is indeed a situation that needs to be addressed, and thus it cannot be ignored or taken for granted.

The Prime Minister of Japan told the head of the Public Safety Commission that he accepted the proposal to have the hero students all over Japan to be pressed into military service and told Nezu that this is the only way to prepare for the new war that would happen anytime soon, and the principal of UA Academy nodded, saying that he understood the gravity of the situation at hand.

"Mr. Nezu..."

"Yes."

"I'm afraid that UA Academy will have to…"

"I understand."

"Please understand that…"

"I know, Prime Minister."

"I know it is difficult, but we are…"

"Understood."

Bidenyu nodded and said he will contact other world leaders and tell them that every country on Earth must participate so that they would be prepared for the upcoming crisis as that is bound to happen anytime soon.

However, the space drone continue its live footage, and everyone saw that the asteroid kept on flying, and there All Might and the others saw the asteroid carrying the insect-like beings went towards the planet Mercury, which is nearest to Earth.

The military general became worried after seeing how the insect-like beings were able to take down the space station like that, and feared that they might do the same towards Earth. Bidenyu told the military general to calm down as he would come up with a way to make preparations, which the Prime Minister of Japan said that he too would come up with something to address the situation at hand.

"Calm yourself."

"But…"

"Panicking will not help."

"Prime Minister…"

"The American president is calm and collected. You should do that too."

"…"

"Do not let fear dictate you."

"…"

And thus the meeting went on as they exchanged ideas and suggestions, while at the same time they mourned the deaths of the Shield family and everyone on the space station, and in the end, Nezu agreed to come up with a way to tell the UA students and their families about the proposal, as he also expected that other hero schools would also be persuaded to follow suit once they are informed of the threat.

-x-

Later that evening, All Might summoned Midoriya and Bakugo at the lounge inside UA Academy, and there he told the two boys about the threat, which made them feel concerned, after seeing the footage of the astronauts' fates.

However, Midoriya became horrified when seeing the footage where insect-like beings destroyed the space station that resulted in the deaths of the Shield family, and he fell to his knees and cried, as Melissa was one of his closest friends, and Bakugo could only stare in silence, as he acknowledged the threat and realized that they are about to enter another war.

The only difference is that they are about to face something different, in which it is not villains, but aliens that are hostile and a threat to life on Earth.

After All Might calmed Midoriya down, Bakugo asked where the aliens are, and he became a bit alarmed when told that the asteroid landed on Mercury, and said that there is a possibility that those things may have survived.

"Are you damn serious?"

"Yes."

"Those things…they…"

"There is a possibility that they survive the crash at Mercury."

"With such a distance…and now the Diet wants us students to be pressed into the military?"

"I…"

"So now they see us something as hot commodity, huh?"

"Actually…"

All Might admitted that he is against the idea of sending the UA students into military service as this would mean that there is a possibility that they might be sent to Mercury to deal with the aliens, and said that there is a chance that some, if not many, might perished as he cannot discount the possibility that the students' Quirks might be enough to face an alien race that they know nothing about.

Midoriya slowly recovered and said he is willing to face the challenge and he will see to it that no more lives would be lost, as he will not let the Shield family's death be in vain, and he vowed that all of Class 1-A will come back to Earth complete.

Bakugo then told Midoriya to stay alive as he reminded him that they have a score to settle on who will become the next Number One hero, which Midoriya nodded and assured to Bakugo that he will not lose and come back alive.

"Don't forget our pact, Deku."

"I know."

"For now we'll have to work together."

"Yeah."

"Till then…stay alive."

"You too."

"Heh, I won't go down that easily, Deku."

"I know, Ka-chan..."

By then, Nezu showed up and told the two boys that he admired their bravery, but he also told them to be ready, as he admitted that there is a possibility that the UA students who gets drafted into military service might get killed in the upcoming war, and he told the two boys to be prepared, as he anticipate that the students' parents are likely to object once the Diet makes its announcement about the insect-like beings.

Suddenly, the TV news made an emergency broadcast, where NASA said that very small asteroid is approaching Earth, at a fast speed, and scientists said that it is projected to land on Washington DC, which Midoriya told All Might that the projected impact is where the White House is situated, and Bakugo raised an eyebrow as he wonder if that small asteroid carry some of the so-called insect-like aliens like the ones All Might said a while ago.

The live news showed America's number one hero, identified as the Python Patriot, is wearing a jet pack while flexing his muscles, which Bakugo sweat-dropped as the Python Patriot resembled Hulk Hogan, and there the pro hero is seen (via the drone accompanying him) and approached the descending asteroid and he uses his Quirk to punch a hole and smashed it into smaller pieces.

As the pro hero flexed his muscles to show off in order to raise the morale of the American masses, he turn around and is taken by surprise to see the insect-like alien beings jumping from the severed parts of the asteroid and jumped into the Python Patriot and uses it's insect-like legs to pierced the target's chest, impaling him which also impaled his heart.

Then the other alien insect-like beings proceeded to disembowel the fallen hero, turning the area into a pool of blood and carcass.

America's number one hero has fallen.

Viewers all over the world are stunned to silence at what they just witnessed, but as the drone continue its footage, two small asteroids managed to reach Earth's atmosphere, and the drone was able to get a footage of another insect-like beings which resembled a giant beetle, the same type that destroyed the space station.

There its back shell OPENED and unleashed a laser-like attack and fired below, where it struck the White House and reduced it to ashes. The American president, Jyou Bidenyu and all of his staff were killed in an instant, and netizens were horrified at what they saw on TV.

Though the asteroids landed on areas with no people around the insect-like aliens disembark and are shown to have a total number of 10, but their appearance is enough to horrify onlookers as the alien creatures began to wreck havoc, and the massacre commences.

To Be Continued...


Hope you liked this chapter, and while there is not much action, the story make up for it, and for now the Shields from Hero Academia: The Two Heroes appeared, and gave All Might and the others a glimpse of how grave the threat is.

Now crisis has seemingly began as David Shield and his daughter Melissa were killed by the alien attack as the space station was decimated, and thus UA Academy reluctantly accepted the Prime Minister's request that their students go into military service to combat the threat…

I made a bit of a parody here as a Hulk Hogan-like pro hero attempted to face the Invaders, only to be killed off. International pro heroes in the MHA manga were not depicted, thus I decided to make one to show which hero represent the USA…


Preview:

The alien insects arrived and showcased what they are capable of, putting the citizens of Earth on notice as chaos and pandemonium amid the live news footage…

And now UA Academy is officially going to include military training as part of the curriculum…

See you in April or May…

Reviews are welcomed, but needed…
