"Boboiboy!" Ramenman went to the elemental user. "Your wounds! We need to treat this right now—"
"Going somewhere?" A voice was heard from the back. To be exact that grumpy voice was owned by Ejo Jo. He was still standing!
Both Boboiboy and Ramenman gasped, completely surprised by this fact!
"HAHAHAHAHA!" The green alien laughed manically. "Did you really think I let you live just like that Boboiboy!" The serious and calculating side of Ejo Jo was no more. All was left was a desperate will to kill Boboiboy! Like Vicious had instructed him to do!
The alien gave them a wicked smile. "I'm I can't kill you properly, then..."
Ejo Jo licked his bloodied lips and opened his jacket revealing a bomb that was stuck in his body. The ticking sound of the bomb's time was clearly heard as if the bomb could explode at any moment.
"Then I guess you'll have to die with me!"
.
.
.
"What?! (Apakah?!)" Boboiboy couldn't believe his eyes. Ejo Jo was still conscious despite the injuries he received battling Quake and Ramenman just now.
What's worst there was a bomb implanted in him! If they don't detonate it fast, then the bomb will explode any moment from now.
"Hahaha! What will you do now, Boboiboy!" The green alien laughed like a mad man, as if he had already won this fight. "The only way for you to stop me is..."
"By killing me and ripping off this bomb from my body!" Ejo jo smiled pleasantly when Boboiboy paled hearing the word 'kill'.
You see, the bomb implanted inside Ejo Jo was operated by his heartbeat. So, once his heartbeat stopped, then the bomb's time will also stop eventually.
"But of course, you're too generous to kill someone, right?" Ejo Jo knew that the elemental user was too kind despite having such great power in his hand. In fact, Ejo Jo was more than sure that the elemental user could conquer the whole galaxy if he wanted to.
But then again, this is Boboiboy they were talking about. A kind human who always help those in need and will do whatever it takes to protect someone he holds dear.
However, that kindness was also one of Boboiboy's weakness! He could never kill even if he despite that person to a certain level. If it was Kaizo in front of him, then the humanoid alien wouldn't hesitate to end his life to protect others.
"Kill to save or die? Which will he choose?" Ejo Jo whispered as time was ticking.
"Boboiboy doesn't need to dirty his hands with blood in order to do that!" Ramenman shouted, angered by the fact that Ejo Jo traps them in his dirty scheme.
The hero took out his twin swords, standing. "I'll be the one to stop that bomb. Even if, I have to kill you myself!" He said.
"Tch!" Ejo Jo clicked his tongue. He totally forgot that Boboiboy has the TEMPUR-A officer on his side. That pesky man is trying to destroy his plan!
"Ramenman!" Boboiboy shivered when he heard that. No! Nobody needs to die here!
"Time is ticking people." Ejo Jo reminded when there were about 60 seconds left before bomb explodes.
"But Boboiboy—" Ramenman tried to persuade him. If Ejo Jo isn't stopped then everyone will die and injured if the bomb explodes.
"Killing isn't going to make everything right!" Boboiboy replied, giving the hero a serious look. Truthfully, those words came out based on Thunderstorm's memories after fighting Stain.
The villain was so set to liberate the world that he ended up killing 'fake' heroes. It was because of his actions that made Iida so vengeful towards him. His friend was so devastated by the fact that Stain destroyed his brother's future as a hero that he decided to chase Stain. What's worst Iida was planning to kill that villain!
That's right killing isn't going to solve everything! In fact, it will create a bigger problem in the future.
However, deep inside of Boboiboy knew that ending the alien's life was the only way to stop him and save everyone!
"No! There has to be another way!" Boboiboy gathered all the strength he got and stood up despite the pain he was suffering.
Suddenly, Boboiboy came up with an idea. However, the plan was very risky to his well-being since he was suffering several injuries right now. Can he implement it then? Can he pull this up?!
"If that's the only way then..." Boboiboy took a deep breath and...
"I have no choice but to do it!" The elemental user's eyes flared with determination and courage.
"HAH! Admit it! You have no guts when it comes to ending someone's life!" Ejo Jo laughed. "What will you do Boboiboy? Because you only have—"
"10 seconds left."
"10 seconds, huh?" Boboiboy said calmly, closing his eyes. "That's more than enough!" Slowly, he opened them back, but this time his brown eyes shone in two colours.
Golden in the right and aquamarine in the left.
"Boboiboy Duo Split! Quake! Ice!" The elemental user splint into his second-tier earth form and water form and immediately strike their wrist against together. Yes, everyone! You know what's coming!
"Elemental Fusion!"
"BOBOIBOY GLACIER!"
Finally, Glacier has made his first appearance in the hero world! Different from FrostFire, Glacier wore a fur-trimmed poncho-like vest, which has both blue and brown ascents and fully zipped up. His pants are both greyish blue and brown, with white patterns adorning the lower parts. On his hands were an icy version of Quake's earth fists. Last but not least, his hat slightly to the side and is blue with white accents.
"WHAT? ELEMENTAL FUSION YOU SAY?!" Ejo Jo was beyond surprised. This was his first time encountering Boboiboy in his fusion form! Plus, since when did this boy had an elemental fusion ability? Why didn't his crew tell him about this?!
"There's no way I'm going to let you win this, Ejo Jo!" Glacier's dual-coloured eyes landed on the green alien. Forget about the pain he was suffering, it's time to stop Ejo Jo once and for all!
"Ice Gargantua!" Without wasting his time, Glacier summoned a half-earth half-ice golem. This version was much bigger than Quake's earth golem.
The golem quickly trapped Ejo Jo on its grasp, making the green alien unable to run anywhere.
"What?!" The alien growled as he struggled to free himself.
"Have a nice 'hibernation' Ejo Jo!" Glacier said, using the Ice Gargantua to freeze the green alien in a blink of an eye.
Glacier let out a breath of relief when finally, he managed to stop EJo Jo by trapping the alien in a massive block of ice. Thanks to that, he managed to stop the Ejo Jo's bomb from exploding in the nicked of time.
"I think I went overboard." Glacier gave a blank look when he realised that the block of ice was so huge that it could trap an elephant in.
After a moment, the fusion element shook his head. "Nah, Ejo Jo got what he deserved." Then, he turned towards his Ice Gargantua. "Thank you for helping me." He gave the Gargantua a warm smile and reverted back to Boboiboy.
"Thank goodness that's everything is alright." Boboiboy felt like he was about to faint. That was the price of using too much of his elemental powers just now. However, he was more than willing to pay that since that was the only way to stop Ejo Jo without killing him.
"Boboiboy!" Ramenman quickly went to the elemental user and caught him. "That was really careless of you! You know this will happen if you used too much elemental power in a day!" The hero reprimanded.
"Sorry that I made you worry about me." Boboiboy quickly apologized, letting out a nervous laugh.
"But thank you." Ramenman thanked the elemental user. "If it weren't for you then this place would blow up. So, thank you so much."
"You're welcome! Awesome! (Terbaik!)" Boboiboy replied giving the hero a thumbs-up.
Slowly, they turned to the frozen alien. "I have to say. That was certainly a clever move you made there. By freezing Ejo Jo, his body temperature will be in the range between -1°C and -6°C. 65% of the water in his body gradually turns into ice and his heartbeat stops. That's why you managed to stop the bomb from exploding." Ramenman commented in amazement.
"Admiral Tarung once told me that alien-frog species such as Katakululu also go into a deep hibernation during cold seasons. They can freeze themselves in ice but doesn't die in the process. I taught I could apply that on Ejo Jo just now." Boboiboy replied, scratching his cheeks. "Well, I was lucky that the plan went smoothly at the end though."
"Ah, I forget that one of the legendary admirals used to be a conservationist, specializing in the protection of endangered species." The hero chuckled a bit. "Maybe, I should join Admiral Tarung once in a while in his wildlife adventures."
Hearing that from Ramenman had made Boboiboy lost all of his colours. "Please, don't!" The boy quickly advised.
"But, why—"
"YOU'LL DIE! TRUST ME!" Boboiboy shivered in fear. Once, he, Gopal, and Fang joined the admiral in his quest to search for endangered species.
And the three of them—
ALMOST LOST THEIR LIFE!
Adventures in the wild were indeed more dangerous than what was usually shown in National Geographic! Furthermore, the situation becomes riskier and threatening when Admiral Tarung is involved!
Oh, boy! The elemental user didn't want to go through that again for the rest of his precious life!
"Gee, Admiral Tarung is more fearsome than Ejo Jo, huh?" Ramenman whispered when Boboiboy trembled as if he saw a ghost or something.
"Okay... Okay... I understand. But now, let's get your wound treated—"
Suddenly, they heard an explosion coming from the south. Once again, Boboiboy felt a cold horror.
Nomus were still attacking in that area! Plus, his friends were still there as well!
"Midoriya... Iida... Todoroki..." The elemental user mumbled. Without thinking about his wounded condition, Boboiboy releasing himself from the hero.
"What?! Wait! Boboiboy!" Ramenman tried to call him. "You're still wounded!"
"I'm sorry for being rude, sir! But my friends are still there!" The elemental user replied, completely ignoring Ramenman's call. He feared that his friends would be harmed by the mindless zombies.
"Elemental Power! Boboiboy Thunderstorm!"
"Thunderstorm Sprint!"
Thus, Thunderstorm left Ramenman alone and ran as fast as he could to the south.
With Midoriya, Iida, And Todoroki
After tying up Stain and removing all of his weapons, Midoriya, Iida, Todoroki and the pro-hero Native finally walked towards the main road where they can find some assistance.
"Native-san, can you move?" Midoriya politely asked the hero.
"Yeah, I'm okay now." The hero assured as he helped to carry Midoriya on his back.
"U... umm..." The greed head was slightly flustered.
"You hurt your legs, right? This is the least I could do for you since you save my life just now." The hero replied.
"Th— Thank you very much." Midoriya quickly thanked him.
"Sorry. Even though, I'm a pro-hero, I was just in the way." The hero continued, feeling slightly ashamed.
"No. I don't think you could've done anything one on one with the Hero Killer's quirk. He's too strong." Midoriya replied.
"Fighting four on one with the guy making mistakes himself, we still barely won. This guy was probably flustered about Midoriya's and Boboiboy's recovery time." Todoroki continued, finally reaching somewhere that is more open than the alley.
"What the? Why are you here?!" Gran Torino questioned when he saw the group.
"Gran Torino—" Without finishing his words, Gran Torina immediately kicked Midoriya on the face. Angered that his intern didn't follow his instructions.
"I thought I told you to stay seated on the bullet train!" The elderly hero fumed.
"So... Sorry." Midoriya shamefully apologized. "How did you find us?"
"How? We saw a red flash in the sky a moment ago. Clearly, someone was calling for help! So, I came here as soon as I can!" Gran Torino explained.
"Eh? Red flash on the sky?" Midoriya, Iida, and Todoroki looked at each other.
"BOBOIBOY!" They shouted simultaneously. Yes! The red flash must me from the Thunderstorm Rain that the elemental user had performed earlier.
"Boboiboy?! You mean the hoverboard wind kid?" Gran Torino questioned. "No wonder he suddenly went missing! That kid went to you, right?!" The hero asked. He's been worried about that boy since he went missing a moment ago! Well, that was a waste of energy!
The three students slowly nodded, confirming. "Does this mean you already meet him?" Midoriya asked back.
"Of course, we already met! That kid helped the pro-heroes in distinguishing the fire around here!" Gran Torino replied, still angry. "Well, I don't know what's really going on, but I'm glad that you are okay!"
"Tha— Thank you." The three students thanked.
"It's around here!" Finally, more heroes have arrived to where they were located. "Endeavor told us there was a request or help here, but... Children?"
"H-Hey! Isn't this—" The heroes were in shock when the Hero Killer was tied up, sitting not far from them. "Don't tell me... It's the Hero Killer?!"
"Call the police and the ambulance!" A hero instructed while his partner quickly followed.
The heroes were too focused on the Hero Killer and the UA students that they didn't realize the winged-nomu tried to attack them from above, aiming specifically at Midoriya.
"Watch out! Thunderstorm Slash!" The winged-nomu was immediately electrified thanks to Thunderstorm.
"Boboiboy!" His friends called him while the heroes looked at him in amazement.
"This time he's using his lightning element, huh?" They whispered quietly.
"Where have you been?" Midoriya questioned. "You... You are injured!" He shouted worriedly when he saw blood trickling from his wounds.
"Eh? Since when did Boboiboy receive another injury on the leg?!" The green-head whispered to himself.
"This is nothing." Thunderstorm tried to act cool. However, deep inside of him... "It hurts!" He inwardly shouted.
"You're faking it though." Todoroki commented, revealing his secret to the others.
"Let's... let's take you to the hospital before—" Out of nowhere, the winged-nomu attacked again! This time attacking Thunderstorm, who was the nearest to it.
"Argh!" Thunderstorm groaned in pain when the nomu's sharp claw pierced him in the abdomen, taking him away at the same time. He tried to slash the nomu with his Thunder Swords, but he was in so much pain that it prevents him from doing so.
"BOBOIBOY!" Midoriya, Iida, and Todoroki shouted in fear. How could they be careless and easily let their friend being taken away by the mindless zombie!
"I need to do something! Or else, bad things might happen to Boboiboy!" Midoriya tried to move, but his ankle injury was holding him back.
"There's blood!" A female pro-hero shouted while her face was slightly covered with the winged-nomu's blood.
"The nomu could still move despite being heavily electrified by Boboiboy! That's a hard opponent to defeat!" Gran Torino gritted his teeth.
Suddenly, the winged-nomu's movement stop, shocking everyone in the process.
"This society is overgrown with fake heroes!" Stain shouted, chasing the mindless zombie. Somehow, the villain managed to escape when everyone's attention was averted at the winged-nomu. The villain also had a knife hidden in the crevice of his hand, using the knife as his only weapon.
"And criminals wave their weapon around idly... Should all be purged!" In a swift movement, the villain stabbed the nomu until the mindless zombie found the end of his life. The winged-nomu lay weakly on the road floor while Thunderstorm used this opportunity to save himself.
"All of this is for the sake of a better society!" The Hero Killer growled deeply, his eyes turned white and ruthless while he slashed out his unshakeable evil philosophy!
Thunderstorm immediately paled when Stain took him as a hostage. Red ruby eyes now met with Stain's. "I had a feeling that you were slightly different from the others." Stain said in a low whisper. So low that only the lightning user was the only one who heard that.
"What... What are you talking about?" Thunderstorm tried to cover up with a lie, but that wasn't enough to convince Stain.
"Your blood speaks the truth!" Stain gave him a murderous look. "No living human could reduce their time-limit under my quirk!"
Thunderstorm immediately ignored the Hero Killer. His tongue was stunned, not knowing how to answer that. Slowly he lowered his face, afraid Hero Killer could read his facial expressions.
"Don't you dare lay your filthy hands on Boboiboy!" Iida shouted from afar.
The Hero Killer turned to the backwards, facing the others. "Listen here, you fakes!" He shouted on top of his lungs, letting out an intimidating aura. This strong aura sent chills to the others.
"I must make things right!" With the energy he has left, he slowly walked towards them. "Someone must be dyed in blood! I must take back what it means to be a hero!"
The moon was painted in red blood, adding a cold horror atmosphere in the night. Stain's merciless eyes glowed with anger and frustration. "Come! Try and get me, you fakes!" The villain growled.
The murderous and malefic gaze had caused everyone to be frightened and stiff in their respective places. Fear had taken over them when they were completely unable to do anything for the elemental user.
"The only one I'll let to kill men is the true hero, All Might!"
Everyone was shivering in fear. Why where they afraid of the villain in front of them?
That's because they begin to fathom that their life will end. That's why their body stopped functioned. Stain was threatening them with a death treat right now!
The heroes were afraid! And that's all thanks to the Hero Killer: Stain!
After a few seconds, Stain completely stopped moving as if he was paralyzed or something.
"He... He stopped? Is... Is he unconscious?" The lightning user slowly questioned, pulling himself from the fear of death.
Thunderstorm immediately stood up. However, he felt dizzy as his vision slowly faded to black. He felt weak and lightheaded and his body couldn't support him anymore. He had no control of his body right now.
"Wha—" Thunderstorm reverted back to Boboiboy, his body fell to the street floor with a loud thump as he lost consciousness.
"BOBOIBOY!" His friends shouted, they tried to get to him but the heroes were much faster than them.
"Hang in there, kid!" The heroes tried to lift Boboiboy's body only to see a pool of blood from the wounds he received.
"Boboiboy fainted due to blood loss!" Gran Torino shouted worriedly. Boboiboy's life was in danger right now!
"We need medical help here! Fast!" Manual quickly called the health workers who had just arrived a moment ago.
Midoriya, Iida, and Todoroki could only look at him with sad and anxious dwelling inside of them, fearing that something bad may happens to the elemental user. Boboiboy was fighting for life at the moment!
"Boboiboy! Please survive this for us!"
.
.
.
"Hey... Hey... Hey!" Shigaraki shouted from afar. The night did not end well in his side!
"Why'd that Nomu have to go and get killed?!" He growled. Great! Two of the nomus are now dead while the other one has successfully arrested thanks to the Flame Hero and the Armored Hero!
"This is a mess!" The decay user placed five of his fingers on the binocular and immediately faded into dust. "Why... Why won't things go to the way I want?!"
Unknown to Shigaraki, Vengeance watching him from a hidden angle, smiling when he felt that Shigaraki was cursing now.
"Vicious." He immediately contacted his captain.
"Stain is yours now."
Hosu General Hospital
Boboiboy scrunched his eyes at the bright light that was sipping through his closed eyelids, slowly regaining his conscious. He felt powerless and heavy. However, despite the pain, he slowly woke up from his bed, realizing that he was now in a very strange space for him.
"Where am I?" The elemental user questioned, looking around.
The room he was in right now was pristine clean and gloomy. Typical hospital bed, IV and monitors beeping. The stark smell of bleach and medicine was overwhelming, making him nauseous a bit. Boboiboy tried to analyse what is going on and where he is now.
He was at the hospital!
Boboiboy couldn't remember how he got there, but he knew for sure that he wanted out as soon as possible. Preferably right now!
With the remaining strength he had, Boboiboy tried to pull the IV injection that was inserted into him. He felt a sharp pain from doing so.
"Boboiboy!" The elemental user heard a low voice calling his name.
He was shocked by the figure standing in front of him, looking at him with concerned eyes. The elemental user's hands trembled and tears began to fall.
Who was the one who managed to make him cry?
His friends?
His teachers?
His mentor?
No, it wasn't them. The man in front of him was someone he yearned to see for years.
"Dad!" He shouted on top of his lungs! Boboiboy couldn't believe this! Was he dreaming or something? If it was a dream, then Boboiboy hoped that he would not wake up.
Amato quickly but gently pulled his son into a hug. He was definitely terrified when he heard that his son was in a critical situation. His motivation to fight faded and he didn't want to lose the gem he treasured the most.
His fatherly tears fell when he finally could hold his son in his arms, stroking his son's brown hair, assuring that it was okay now.
"Thank goodness that you're okay. I... I don't know what would I do if I lost you, Boboiboy. I am truly sorry for leaving you all these years!" Amato sobbed.
This was another reason to why didn't meet his son. He was afraid that he would cry as soon as he met him. And of course, it was difficult for him to release his son, facing danger alone on his way to becoming a hero.
However, now was not the time for that! He needs to be by his son's side right now! Now, was time for him to make amends, and to carry out the duties of a father that he neglected for so many years.
Oh! He felt so terrible and selfish!
Boboiboy sobbed even harder after hearing that. This was not what he wanted to show when he met his father. "It... It's fine dad. Now that I'm older, I have a better idea of everything you did for me when I was growing up. You worked so hard to make sure that me, mom, Tok Aba, and everyone were safe and unharmed."
"But... But please don't leave me alone here." The elemental user continued.
"Of course, I won't. I promise I'll be by your side." Amato promised.
"Thank you." Boboiboy thanked. He felt calm in his father's arm.
.
.
.
"What happen to me dad?" Boboiboy asked after filling up his tummy.
"The doctor said that you lost consciousness during the incident with the Hero Killer. Your blood pressure suddenly dropped causing a decrease in blood flow to your brain. You also suffered from severe injuries on your right shoulder and leg."
"There was also a deep wound on your abdomen and you lost a lot of blood just now. But thankfully you are fine." Amato ruffled his son's hair.
"I'm so sorry about making you worry." Boboiboy apologized.
"No. I was the one who failed to protect you." Amato replied, ashamed. "I'm sorry."
Boboiboy panickily waved his hand. "No! I was careless! Ramenman warned me about my condition, but I didn't hear his words."
"Son, let's just forget about this for a while, okay? The thing is that you're fine now. You should be resting right now." Amato gave him a warm smile.
"What..." Boboiboy gulped. "What happen to the Hero Killer?" He asked, afraid.
Amato took a deep breath. "Apparently, one of his broken ribs perforated his lungs. But, don't worry he's under the police custody now."
"What will happen next is something that we should be worrying in the future." Amato whispered.
"I... I see." The elemental user slowly lowered his face.
Suddenly, Amato's phone rung, it was Ramenman who called him. "Please, excuse me for a while. I have to answer this call." Amato quickly excited the room.
Boboiboy was about to rest after a moment being left by his father. However, he heard someone knocked, bursting into his room without asking his permission.
"Boboiboy!" Midoriya, Todoroki, and Iida felt relief when their friend was okay now.
The elemental user sweat-drop. "Guys, you shouldn't be running! You're injured you know that."
However, his friends didn't listen to him. "Yeah! But our injuries are not as bad as yours!" They replied rather loudly.
Boboiboy gave them a soft chuckle. "But, I'm fine though! I'm not that weak! This is nothing! I've gone through worst than this!" The elemental user replied proudly.
"That's a relief." Midoriya commented, wiping his remaining tears.
"Boboiboy-kun! Midoriya-kun! Todoroki-kun! I... I'm truly sorry!" Iida bowed to them, sending his deepest apologies. "I... I became so blind that I couldn't see anything! You were injured because of me!"
The others was taken back, looking at each other.
"It's fine, Iida-kun! I am sorry as well. As your friend, I couldn't help you in a way." Midoriya apologized.
"I realized you were behaving strangely. I want to help you, but I do not know the right way to help. Sorry." The half-cold half-hot user continued.
"But! I—"
"Iida." Boboiboy called him. "Everyone makes mistakes in life, no one is perfect. But that doesn't mean that you have to atone that for the rest of your life. Sometimes good people make bad choices, it doesn't mean that they are bad. It means that we're human."
"So, please raise your head and move forward. I'll forgive you if you do that." The elemental user gave Iida a warm smile. "Let's become stronger together, okay?"
"Tha... Thank you!" Iida cried while Midoriya and Todoroki nodded, agreeing.
"Hey! You're crying again!" Boboiboy tried to get up from his bed but was immediately stopped by his friends.
"JUST STAY STILL!" They reprimanded the elemental user.
Boboiboy blinked and slowly let a laugh, entertained his friends' restless and protective behaviour. Then, they all laughed together. Fear, anxiety, and sadness were now washed away with happiness.
.
.
.
Meanwhile
"Did you call, Ramenman?" Amato immediately picked up the phone call.
"Amato!" The hero's voice was clearly anxious at the end of the phone. "Stain! His... His..."
"What happened to him?" The mechanizing hero asked.
"His blood curdle quirk is missing! Vicious stole it!" Ramenman told him.
This was definitely big trouble! If a dangerous quirk falls into the hands of the alien pirate, then this will further complicate their efforts to capture Vicious!
"What are you planning now, Vicious?!"
Amato looked at the sky, hoping that they can arrest the pirate-alien as soon as possible. If left to linger, then the villain will destroy the hero world!
.
.
.
"Another fascinating quirk we got here." Vicious looked at the red-blood and black power watch. The villain quickly took his opportunity to steal the Hero Killer's quirk in his unconscious state.
"It's a quirk that can stop one's movement with the user consuming the victim's blood. However, the downside of this quirk that it depends on the blood type. Ascending order from shortest to longest duration are type O, A, AB, and B and the maximum amount of time being paralyzed is 8 minutes." Vengeance began explaining.
"If we were to sell this power watch in the black market then we'll probably become millionaires." Vicious commented.
"Only if we sell it, right?" The red-head smirked. He knew exactly what Vicious is going to do with that power.
Vicious let out an evil chuckle.
"It would be a waste if this power watch falls into the hands of a stupid and useless person. Therefore, from now on this bloodcurdle quirk will be our secret weapon to defeat those pathetic heroes from our world."
"Won't that go smoothly on our side?"
Two Days Later
Boboiboy was now placed in the same room along with his friends. The results of the doctor's examination found that the stitches on his wound were now dry and his injuries were slowly healing. However, the doctor told him that not to do any hard movements, for now, fearing his wounds will immediately open if he does so.
"Geez, you kids are looking fine in my perspective." Gran Torino commented, entering their room with Manual, Ramenman and Endeavor.
"Gran Torino—"
"You have a visitor." The elderly hero cuts Midoriya off when someone from the police department entered after them.
Boboiboy was totally surprised. The police officer in front of him was...
A version of human Tom! Suddenly, his childhood memories came bursting in. Reminding him of the days that he used to watch Tom & Jerry with Tok Aba!
Scratch that! He almost lost his life to a cat too! And it was thanks to the Crazy Alley Cat (Kucing Sewel) who guards the alley of Pak Senin Koboi.
Well, not all cats were his enemy since Cattus was a good friend to him. Besides, that prickly cat pact a good punch when it came to punishing his friend, Gopal.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Hosu's chief of police, Madara Natsume." The police officer introduced himself.
"He spoke!" Boboiboy whispered to himself. "I... I want to touch his fur!" His inner cat-lover shouted.
Todoroki and Iida immediately stood up while Boboiboy and Midoriya struggled.
"Oh, you can just stay seated, meow." The officer politely stopped them from doing so.
"M... Meow?!" Midoriya and Boboiboy silently questioned.
"You must be the UA students who brought down the Hero Killer, right?" The officer questioned.
Midoriya, Iida, Todoroki and Boboiboy were startled hearing that. They sense trouble coming!
"Regarding the hero killer we arrested, he had fairly serious injuries and is receiving treatment under strict guard." The situation suddenly became tense. "Since you are UA students, I'm sure you already know that quirks are not used as weapons."
"For an individual's use of force and power that can easily kill others actions that normally would be appropriate to denounce is thanks to early heroes who followed the ethics and rules of the profession, meow."
"Even up against the Hero Killer, for uncertified individuals to cause injury with their quirks without specific instruction from their guardians or supervisors is a clear violation of the rules. It's not okay to bend the rules even if it turns out right in the end."
"Therefore, Midoriya, Iida, Todoroki, Gran Torino, Manual, and Endeavor will receive a strict punishment for this." The officer said to them.
"WHAT?!" Boboiboy quickly stood up.
"Boboiboy..." Ramenman mumbled, afraid that Boboiboy might do something careless again.
"I was involved as well! You can't just punish my friends without punishing me! That's not fair!" The elemental user gave the officer a serious look.
"You're probably the elemental quirk owner, right?" The officer turned to him. "I'm sorry, we have no rights to punish you since Ramenman asked you to use your quirk under his hero name. Plus, you didn't act without the consent of your supervisor."
"However, since you were injured in the battle, then Ramenman has to write a letter of apology to us and will be suspended from his duties as a hero for a month." The officer continued. "The law is still the law, Boboiboy. No one can escape from the law."
Boboiboy felt guilty. He was the only one who escaped from being punished. That was not fair in his perspective since Ramenman will bear all of the responsibility for his mistakes.
Boboiboy stayed quiet for a while. "Are you saying that we should've followed the rules and watched people get killed? Isn't it a hero's job to save people?" He questioned causing everyone to be shocked. Well, except for Ramenman that is.
"Boboiboy." His friends mumbled.
"This... This kid sure has the guts to question that." The heroes whispered.
"Please, sir!" Boboiboy immediately bowed. "Please punish me as well if that can ease their punishment!"
"Kind sir, please raise your head." The officer instructed. "That was the official opinion of the police."
Boboiboy smiled in relief after hearing that.
"They will be punished if the Hero Killer incident were made public, meow. People will applaud you, but you can't escape from punishment. Therefore no one must know about your good achievements, then I can let this aside." The officer smiled at them.
"Consider this as my gratitude for protecting Hosu City on my behalf. Personally, I don't want to be the one to find fault with promising young ones because of one big mistake."
"Thank you very much, sir!" The UA students bowed in gratitude. "We're sorry for breaking the rule!"
"It's a hero job to save people, right?" The cat police gave them a thumbs-up. "Promise me that you will grow to become great heroes in the future."
They nodded, smiling. "Yes, sir!"

After the discussion, the police officer amended himself because there were other matters he needed to resolve.
Midoriya, Iida, Todoroki, and Boboiboy sat at the end of their bed, relieved that they weren't punished for their hasty act the other day.
Now, there was another thing that worried them.
Iida's arm surgery.
The Class 1-A representative's arms were pretty beat up. However, his left hand might suffer from long-term damage and from now he will have trouble moving his hands and fingers.
"Iida." Boboboiboy and Midoriya called him, worried.
"You don't have to give me that sad look, Boboiboy. There is still a possibility that my left arm can be healed with a nerve transplant surgery." He assured.
"That's great news!" Midoriya and Boboiboy quickly gave him a smile. Now, was not the time to be worried! Iida needed their support!
But not for Todoroki. He lowered his face, scared. "I feel... kind of bad..."
"About what?" His friends turned to him.
"I feel like if I get involved... other people mess up their hands..." Todoroki sweated, looking at his right arm.
"Is... Is this a curse? Am I cursed or something?" He speculated.
Krik... Krik... Krik...
"HAHAHAHAHA!" The other three immediately laughed.
"Todoroki-kun, I didn't know you could make jokes!" Midoriya commented.
"I'm not joking! As if... I'm like 'The Hand Crusher' or something!" Todoroki replied.
However, this made his friends laughed even harder.
"KYAHAHAHAHA! He said, 'The Hand Crusher'!"
"Tangan Pemusnah? Really? That's a good one Todoroki!" Boboiboy replied, trying his best not to laugh but failed.
Midoriya, Iida, and Boboiboy continued laughing while Todoroki was completely left out.

Gran Torino told Midoriya to see him for a moment. He wanted to reprimand the current One for All user, but not in front of his friends.
"Geez! The part where you just move without thinking is just like Toshinori! Like teacher like student!" The elderly hero shouted.
"I'm sorry!" Midoriya apologized.
"It can't be helped now!" Gran Torino sighed. It's not a good idea to stay mad now that everything had happened.
"I'm sorry!" The green-head continued apologizing.
"Please, don't be careless from now on! Think before you act! Tell that to the elemental user as well!" Gran Torino huffed.
"Eh?" Midoriya questioned. "What do you mean?"
"That elemental kid disappeared on us as soon as you text him your location!" Gran Torino explained.
"Wait? What?" Midoriya was really confused at the moment.
If he was not mistaken, Boboiboy came to them 5 minutes after he found out Iida's location. It was quite impossible for Boboiboy to arrive at the location in time if he decided to help Gran Torino and the heroes first.
And if he really did help the heroes, then he would arrive together with Todoroki since the half-cold half-hot user took 10 minutes to get there.
That time difference made him wonder for a while. Suddenly, another incident played inside his mind. And that incident was when Boboiboy managed to move first despite the both of them being hit by Stain's quirk at the same time. There was something wrong at the time, but Midoriya couldn't get a grip on it.
"What's wrong?" Gran Torino after a moment of silence.
"No... Nothing!" Midoriya waved his hand, assuring that everything was fine on his side.
"Right." Gran Torino replied. "Well, I will see you tomorrow then! Please take this time to heal yourself! And no more funny business, okay?" Gran Torino sent him a death stare.
Midoriya immediately nodded, fearing that his supervisor might get mad at him again.
As he walked to his room, his mind wondered again. "Is it possible? No, it can't be!"

"How can Boboiboy be at two places in one time?"
EXTRA
Midoriya, Iida, and Todoroki were anxious. It's been three hours since Boboiboy was admitted to the emergency room and there was no sign of him waking up yet.
"I hope Boboiboy is okay. His wounds were pretty serious back then." Midoriya sighed.
"Yeah. He was already beaten up the second time he got to us. I wonder where did he receive the wound on his right leg." Todoroki continued. To be honest, he was shocked when the elemental user was covered in so much blood, forcing himself to fight against the villain.
Iida lowered his head. It was his fault that Boboiboy's shoulder was stabbed by one of Stain's dagger. The elemental user protected him while he couldn't do a thing to repay him.
Suddenly, a young nurse entered their room. "Patient 014 is already conscious." She informed. "You can see him after the doctor—"
Without waiting more, they quickly went to see Boboiboy.
Finally! Their friend is awake!
.

"Are you sure this is the way to his room?" The half-cold half-hot user asked.
"We were so relieved that Boboiboy was conscious that we forgot to ask which room he is in right now." Midoriya chuckled.
"Should we ask for some assistance?" Iida suggested.
Midoriya was too busy looking somewhere else that accidentally collided with someone. The green-head almost fell, but the person's hand quickly pulled him, saving him from falling.
"Sorry, I was too busy on the phone that I didn't notice you." The man in front of him immediately apologized.
Brown eyes meet Midoriya's green one. Midoriya was completely frozen when the one who accidentally bumped into him was...
Mechamato! The famous Armored Hero!
Todoroki and Iida were also stunned for a moment. Didn't expect that they would meet the hero here!
"Are... Are you okay?" Amato slowly asked. He definitely recognized the three since they were his son's classmates.
"Y... Yes! Of course!" Midoriya stuttered as excitement and embarrassment were dwelling inside of him since he always did want to meet the foreign hero.
"That's a relief." Amato smiled at them. "Oh! And the room that you're looking is on the right." He pointed out the other hallway. "Well, I'll be going now. It's nice meeting you." With that, Amato left them questioning.
How did Mechamato know that they were looking for Boboiboy!
Two Days Later
"Hey, guys..." Boboiboy turned to his friends, ending the call on his phone. "My dad is coming to visit me. Are you fine with that?" He asked for permission, afraid if his friends were uncomfortable when someone they did not know entered the room.
"Eh?! Your dad is in Hosu City right now?!" Midoriya screamed, he didn't expect that.
"That was unexpected." Todoroki commented.
"We... We don't have anything to serve him!" Iida panicked.
"Yes, he's here because of his job and this is the hospital Iida. We don't need to serve him tea or something. In fact, he's the one who should treat us some snacks!" Boboiboy quickly texted his father, asking for some treat from him.
His friends slowly nodded. In fact, they couldn't wait to see who is Boboiboy father! It was an honour to finally meet the elemental user's guardian.
"I was wondering, why is your father in Hosu City? Is it because of his job?" Todoroki asked since Boboiboy rarely spoke of his father.
Boboiboy though for a while. "I think? To be honest, I actually didn't know that we were in the same city. My dad only told me about this two days ago."
"So, he's been to the hospital before?" Midoriya questioned.
"Why have we never met him?" Iida continued.
Boboiboy chuckled. "Well, he's kind of a busy person since he's a diplomat. You'll eventually meet him soon."
"Your father is a diplomat! That's so cool!" Midoriya's eyes twinkled in excitement.
"Thanks! Awesome! (Terbaik!)" The elemental user gave him a thumbs-up.
After a moment, they heard a knock on the door. It must be Boboiboy's father. The man in casual clothes slowly entered the room.
However, the feeling of happiness turned into a huge surprise when they didn't expect that person they met before was now in front of them! Again!
Boboiboy walked towards his father, introducing him to his friends. "Guys! Let me introduce you to my—"
"MECHAMATO!" Midoriya, Iida and Todoroki shouted.
They couldn't believe this! Boboiboy's father is actually the Armored Hero, Mechamato!
Their friend was actually the son of the famous foreign pro-hero!
Midoriya felt like he wanted to faint. He was totally not ready for this!
"It... It's an honour to meet you, sir!" They politely bowed to him.
"Guys..." Boboiboy sweated nervously. He literally did not expect this reaction from them.
"Is it because I bought the wrong snack?" Amato questioned, looking at the box of doughnuts he bought just now.
"No!" Midoriya and Iida waved their hands while Todoroki was still processing the situation. It seems like he and Boboiboy were on the same page now since their fathers were heroes.
Wait a minute?
"Why didn't you tell us that your father is actually a hero?!" They turned to the elemental user, sending him a glare.
"Was it important?" Boboiboy naively asked since he didn't know that his dad was actually famous around here.
"Now... Now..." Amato tried to calm them down. "Let's just enjoy the snack, okay? Besides, I bet that we have a lot of things to talk about!"
Midoriya hands shivered in excitement as he looked at the piece of doughnut on his hands. "I... I'm being treated by Mechamato!" He whispered inwardly.
"I'll be sure to bring my autograph book next time!" The green-head continued enjoying his time talking to Amato.
Their evening was filled with laughter, jokes, and an advice session. Indeed, Mechamato was a friendly, wise, and understanding person which made his friends comfortable around him.
Boboiboy silently thanked his father for coming. It was something they needed after almost being punished for breaking the law.
"Thanks for coming, dad!"
