Boom, have fun reading this chapter!
Knock knock knock.
A finger gently places itself on a phone ringing on top of a dresser. It hits the electronic device.
Knock knock knock.
A black haired teenager opens his eyes revealing their black color. He blinks a few times as he adjusts to the light coming through the blinds hanging in front of his window. He sits up letting a yawn escape him.
Knock knock knock.
He looks at his phone to see he still has time before he's scheduled to get up. He gets out of bed and walks out if his bedroom into the living room and stares at his front door sleepy-eyed. He stretches his arms out as he heads to said door opening it shielding his eyes from the immediate abundance of sunlight.
"Hey there, sleepyhead." A feminine voice greets.
The girl standing before the male teen is wearing the U.A. High school uniform. She has onyx-colored eyes and black hair in a curved, spiky ponytail with a single bang hanging in front of her. She's carrying a school briefcase over her shoulder and what appears to be groceries down in front of her.
He raises his head groggily in a greeting manner causing the girl to giggle.
"May I come in?" The female clad in U.A.'s attire asks for the sleepy boy to step out of the way as she walks inside.
She looks around the room. Stepping right inside is the living room with a few couches along with a coffee table all facing a 50 inch television in the corner. The kitchen is in another corner with a bar as well as a dinning table behind it. Down the hallway she can see doors that must lead to the bedroom as well as the restroom.
"You have quite a nice home." She comments heading for the kitchen.
Slowly the homeowner begins to fully awaken as he takes note of his guest taking out store-bought goods from the plastic bags. He looks to the girl as she puts some of said goods into his fridge while leaving others out. He walks outside the kitchen and looks over the bar. Things like sausages, bread, rice, and other assorted ingredients he can make out. The female guest turns noticing the other teen gazing at what she bought.
"I had a feeling you haven't exactly done much shopping so I decided to take care of that." She states leaving the kitchen, making her way to stand before the male. "And don't worry, I didn't spend too much so don't bother paying me back. Not that I would accept it anyway." She turns heading back into the kitchen as she organizes the ingredients. "Oh, and nice pajamas." She comments, a sly grin can be seen as she cuts her eyes out of their corner to see the male's reaction.
He looks down blinking in confusion. Wearing a matching set, both his t-shirt and pajama pants are all red with black vertical and horizontal lines. He scratches his head in embarrassment.
"Now, while I'm cooking breakfast, why don't you go get dressed?"
He gives her an odd look as if wanting the female to repeat herself.
"What? You wouldn't happen to have a problem with you girlfriend cooking for you, would you?" She puts a finger to her chin, her tone easily readable as being on the joking side.
The black haired teen shakes his head dumbfoundedly.
"Good. Now go get ready. Breakfast will be ready shortly." She states turning to open a cabinet full of pots and pans as she puts on an apron from a nearby rack.
He looks at the girl blinking before nodding awkwardly as he turns for his room.
"One more thing by the way." She calls out as the young man turns his body halfway so he can see her, the girl's back to him as she is pulling down a pot.
She turns her head to him before smiling.
"Good morning, Relon." She says sweetly turning back to prepping for breakfast.
He stands there as the words hit him. All of the events from coming to Musutafu up to last night rush through the teen's head. He blinks once. Then once more. A smile forming on his face as he watches the girl at work. He walks over to a drawer pulling out an index card. He places it on the counter in front of ingredients as he walks away, the girl having noticed this. She hears a door shut and turns to pick up the card.
'Morning, Momo.' She looks at the hallway from where she stands in the kitchen, a look of surprise visible.
Her smile returns as she holds the card close to her before putting away the card, readying breakfast.
Relon closes the door behind him as he leans on it as he looks up to the ceiling in disbelief. I can't even remember how it went. All I remember is everything leading up to me asking her that question and her saying yes.
I don't remember asking her to come so early though. What time is it even? He walks over to his phone. It's 6:30. Wait, it takes 30 minutes between our homes and she said she did some shopping too? He looks back at the door. Images of her getting hurt, taken away, and even being killed flashes in his mind causing the teen to clench his head shaking it. No! I need to stop thinking like that. He sighs looking at the door once more. I made the right decision. I don't regret that. Like Nunu said, I'm strong enough to protect her, but she's strong enough to protect herself and we're only going to get stronger. Especially now that we're together. He sits on his bed. If there is someone out there that may be after us survivors, then I won't let them lay a finger on her or anyone.
With his priorities set, he stands and catches a whiff of something. Ugh, I reek. I must have fallen straight to sleep after last night. I'll have to ask her what happened last night. Hopefully Yao- Momo won't be upset. God, calling her by her first name feels weird. First things first, a shower. Luckily class starts at 9 since we have the trip to USJ today. Relon grabs his uniform opening the door catching an appealing scent. Whatever she's making smells great. He looks down the hall to barely see Momo at work on their morning meal. He opens the door to the bathroom before entering closing it behind him. Relon discards his night attire as he steps into the hot shower, his muscles relaxing as the heated water makes contact with his skin. Ahh, so damn needed. Minutes later he finishes as he steps out getting dressed and readying himself for the day.
Relon steps into the hallway hearing the sound of humming. He heads to the main room following the sound to see it's coming from his girlfriend still at work cooking. He leans against the wall, closing his eyes, as he listens. Her gentle melody wonderful to his ears. She soon finishes as Relon gives a light applause causing the girl to turn around surprised.
"Goodness, you surprised me." He takes a seat at the bar. "You're just in time." She turns to him, a plate in hand. "Would you help me set the table?" He nods taking some plate in hand.
Everything looks and smells good. I wouldn't have expected someone of such a high social status to be so good. Looks can be deceiving I guess.
Once everything is set, the two take a seat opposite from one another as they clap their hands together.
"Thank you for this meal." Yaoyorozu says as Relon nods.
He looks at the delicacy before him. He starts filling his plate with some of everything. He notices Momo squirming in her seat and looks to the girl with a tilt of his head.
Does she want to know if I like it? He looks at his plate deciding on what to pick first. It all looks so good I don't know what to pick first. Welp, eeny, meeny, miney, mo, you are the one that has to go!" He points around with his chopsticks landing on a piece of sausage as he takes a bite with Momo looking on anxiously.
He slowly chews it before swallowing. It's good! He takes another bite before going on to the rice and then his whole plate.
"So you like it?" He nods joyfully as he begins cleaning his plate leaving his girlfriend to let out a breath of relief before smiling.
All that hard work was definitely worth it. She grins gleefully watching Relon before she too helps herself. Their breakfast consisting of small chatter. Said chatter being Momo asking questions to Relon that only required a nod or shake of his head. Those questions mainly being his thoughts on each dish which he very much loved. The couple finishes cleaning up after themselves for Relon to take note of the time.
It's 7:20 now. It takes an hour to get to school but we don't have to be there until 9 so we have 40 minutes to spare. He looks next to his romance partner as they're cleaning up the dishes. Knowing Y- Momo, she'll want to leave once we're finished here. Well I can always sleep once we get there I suppose. That or we talk the whole time. Either I'm fine with. He hands her the last plate after washing and drying it off for her to place it in its cabinet.
"Well that's the dishes taken care of. What do you want to do now?" She asks turning to him as he once again looks confused. "What? We have 40 minutes to waste until we have to leave. Normally I'd would suggest leaving but being here, it's cozy. I'd be lying if I said I wanted to leave. Besides, if we left now, you'd most likely rest until it was time to go or talk to me the whole time. Both I don't have a problem with as I'm sure you don't."
For a millisecond, Relon's eye twitches. Momo... is VERY perceptive. That or she's good as hell at calling things. I'll have to make a mental note of that... He nods nervously smiling causing the girl to chuckle.
"I'm guessing I nailed that, right?"
Relon nods as Momo leaves the kitchen. He watches as she takes a seat in the middle of the couch patting it. He comes and takes a seat next to her leaning back on the comfy furniture.
"Do you regret it?" He looks to her with a quizzical expression.
"Us, I mean." She clears as he too looks forward, a neutral expression now present.
After a moment, he shakes his head.
"I see... Just remember one thing." He shifts his face to then meet hers, both gazing at one another. "You don't have to do everything alone. Not anymore." She says with a shake of her head at her last sentence.
His eyes slightly widen at the sudden mention. He looks to her eyes. She's being real with me. No lies, no misleading. She's just being herself. Just like when we first met. Showing nothing but what she has shown since the beginning; genuine care. He gives her a sturdy nod.
"I'll leave it at that then." She seems to accept this as Momo gazes at his side.
He takes notice and shifts his arm slightly causing their eyes to meet once more as he nods. She scoots closer taking a hold of his arm before placing her head on his shoulder as she then props her legs on the couch behind her. The "sensations" his arm is feeling ever so warm. Although embarrassed, he rotates his entangled arm right side up showing his open hand. Momo unwraps one of her arms and places her hand in his, both intertwining their fingers with the other's.
Thanks Momo...
"Anytime, Relon."
His eyes widen refusing to look at her.
"You did thank me, didn't you?" A smile escaping the girl as Relon nods dumbfoundedly. "Seems I'm getting better at reading you." She chuckles.
That or you're actually a mind reader.
"And no, I'm not a mind reader. I promise." He twitches his eye at her statement before placing his head over top hers.
No more words are said nor are they needed. The two have their peace and quiet but most of all, they have the one thing they would ever need in their newfound relationship; each other.
40 minutes. He had checked to see they had 40 minutes to spend however they wanted. Momo confirmed this for him. Yet they only used 20 to relax before they were out the door. To say he was a little annoyed would be the correct term as the new couple can be seen walking together hand-in-hand.
I honestly should have seen this coming. She holds the highest academics grade-wise in the class not to mention she's a dedicated student. So when she said 40 minutes to spare, she really only meant half of that.
He glances at his girlfriend. I can't even be that upset. Though telling me ahead of time would have been helpful. Oh well, we would have had to leave eventually. No point being salty over it.
They continue their peaceful walk passing Yaoyorozu's mansion where before long they reach U.A. at exactly 8:40. A thought then crosses Relon as they enter the hero school heading for their class. He cuts his eyes down looking at hands. He squeezes hers twice gaining Momo's attention.
"Hm? What is it, Relon?" She asks for him to raise there still together hands as he points at them then in the direction of their class.
She looks between the two points of interest slowly putting together what he's saying. A second later she stops walking as it finally makes sense, a blush forming. She coughs into her free hand regaining her composure as they resume walking, Relon awaiting her answer patiently.
"W-well naturally, we will still focus on our studies even if we're now together. A hero-in-training must remain ever diligent. But..." He raises an eyebrow.
But?
"Spending time together when we have the opportunity arises wouldn't hurt." She averts her eyes, a small blush appearing.
Momo... Relon chuckles.
"W-why are you laughing?" He waves her question off causing her to pout. "Hey, tell me!" She shakes his head as he is then the one to stop walking, another thought coming to mind.
I had a feeling we'd act normal in class and still act like a couple when we could but... He looks ahead seeing a sign that reads, 'Class 1-A.' What are we going to do about the others. Once they know we're together, I'm sure some of them will start a commotion and start messing with us. The image of Mina and Mineta coming to mind. An annoyed tiresome look forming on his face.
"What's wrong?"
He slides a card from his sleeve showing it to her. Soon, she too gains an annoyed look as well putting a hand to her forehead.
"I haven't even thought of that. When Mina and Mineta find out, we won't hear the end of it. The best we can do is deal with that when it comes, I suppose. Though I have a feeling it will be sooner rather than later." He nods in agreement looking looking at their classroom door.
By sooner, she's talking minutes if not hours. They stop in front of the class as Relon pulls out his phone checking the time.
"We have fifteen minutes left. By now, most of the class should be here." Momo comments to gain a nod from her boyfriend as she looks to him. "Ready?" He simply nods once more raising there clasped hands.
They both release their grip on one another. Knowing how it would turn out if they enter the class showing off their statuses, this would be better and draw less attention. He reaches for the door and slides it open entering followed by Momo and just as she said, all of Class 1-A was accounted for chatting in their small groups. That is until the two walk in catching everyone's attention.
And all eyes are on us. Great. Relon mentally rolls his eyes as he heads for his seat while Momo head to the girls. Before anyone can say anything, Aizawa comes in.
"You're all here. Good. Get changed into your costumes and meet at the bus loop. You have 15 minutes." He leaves.
We made it just in time. Now I'm glad Momo made us leave early. He glances to Momo who's also looking to him as they both smile having thought the same thing. Class 1-A departs heading for the locker rooms. Relon is in the far back with Momo surrounded by the girls further up. As they're walking, Mineta glaces behind him to Relon causing the black haired teen to give a wondering look. Mineta smirks giving a thumbs up before turning back around.
What was that about? He looks back up noticing some of the guys glancing at him including Midoriya before they all, in unison, abruptly turn back ahead. He focuses on Momo who seems to be talking to Jirou. They must feel his gaze as they both turn their heads looking at him. They both give a smile before returning to their conversation.
A pair of black eyes and pink catches his attention as he sees Mina snickers at him before looking ahead moving to join Momo and Jirou.
Okay, something's up. I swear if what Momo and I called about Mineta and Mina were true, my tolerance is going to run slimer than Mineta's chance at getting a girlfriend. If he says anything out of line, I'll just punt him like a football.
He watches as Mineta gives a shudder. A smirk appearing on our protagonist's face. Soon the class reaches the locker rooms as the different genders separate.
Relon heads to the far back isle like he did last week as he begins changing into his hero costume. He puts on his shirt, jacket, and pants but before he can wrap his scarf, he's surrounded by some of the guys. All donned in their hero attires. Relon surprised can only look back and forth as he is bombarded with question after question.
"You two are together, aren't you?" Kaminari asks.
"Who stopped by whom's house?" Aoyama asks.
"Did you cook breakfast together?" Sato asks.
"Did you guys hold hands on the way here?" Ojiro asks.
"Did you two talk about anything important?" Todoroki asks which catches everyone off guard.
"Hehehe..." Everyone looks to where that sound came from to find Mineta. "Your questions are good, yes. But, none of you aren't asking the important questions..." He walks in front of Relon as he stands on the bench. "Tell me, Lucinance..." He begins, everyone leaning in curious of where this is going. "You've probably been living out every man's fantasy haven't you... Just like in a slice of life from an anime; She came to your house and woke you up didn't she?" He begins causing everyone to look at Relon as his eye twitches. "I bet that being the caring girl that she is, she even cooked breakfast for you didn't she?" Mineta turns taking on a thinking posture as Relon gives another twitch and some whispers can be heard from the guys. "I bet she came over early so you two could relax, didn't she!?" He turns pointing to the black haired teen whose face is now covered by his hair. "Then after all that... After all that..." Everyone looks on at the shortest 1-A student as he balls his hands into fist with his face down.
He raises it as his teeth are clenched and eyes suddenly become almost bigger than himself.
"AFTER THAT, YOU TOOK HER TO YOUR ROOM AND YOU CLOSED THE DOOR WHERE YOU GOT TO LAY YOUR HEAD ON HER SOFT THIGHS THAT WOULD SEND ANY MAN TO HEAVEN, EVEN HER BIG BOOBS THAT ONLY A MAN COULD DREAM OF TOUCHING LET ALONE STUFFING HIS FACE IN BETWEEN AND MOST OF ALL, MOST OF ALL, YOU EVEN WENT AS FAR AS TO HAVE SE-
SMACK.
Before that word could be uttered, Relon picks the grape boy who by the balls on his head and kicks him clear over to lockers to the other side of the locker room as a crash could be heard.
Everyone slowly looks from where Mineta was sent to Relon whose face is still covered. He lets out a long deep sigh as he wipes the sweat accumulated from his forehead, his face now visible once more.
"Uh, I'm gonna take a guess everything after taking her to your room didn't happen." Kirishima comments to gain a nod from Relon.
Relon points to Kaminari nodding his head gaining a look of confusion from everyone including the electric-user.
"What? You two did walk together?" He asks gaining a nod from Relon. "Oooh." He replies.
Relon points to Aoyama. He walks past the group as he points to a wall which is where the girl's locker room is on the other side and then points to himself.
"She came to you?" Aoyama asks gaining another nod from the silent teen.
He points to Sato and shakes his head.
"So you didn't cook together, huh?" Relon pulls out a card as Sato reads it aloud. "She cooked for me as I got ready for school..." Kaminari takes the card and reads it himself.
"No way!" He scans over the card before looking at Relon. "You lucky bastard!"
"What about my question? I'm kinda curious myself." Ojiro comments as everyone turns to Relon which his face twitches as his cheeks slowly turn a shade of pink to which he slowly nods looking away.
Relon then looks to Todoroki remembering his question.
"Do you regret it? Us, I mean."
He nods solemnly as everyone stares at him, their expressions one of surprise except for Todoroki's and Tokoyami's. Last night coming back to mind as he looks to Midoriya who gulps, a nervous expression can be seen. He looks to his left hand. A hand that at one point was normal. A hand that at one point was a demonic hand. A hand that at one point was holding onto Momo's. He looks to Todoroki and nods affirmatively as Todoroki nods back.
"I see."
"Um." Everyone turns to the voice as they lay their eyes on Deku who seems nervous with all eyes on him
His and Relon's meet again as the black haired teen tilts his head giving his male friend a smile as he awaits his question. Izuku's nerves disappear seeing that look on his classmate's face as his nerves calm themselves.
"Since we're asking questions, I have one. Lucinance, how does it feel to be in a relationship now?" All eyes turn back to the silent teen as he thinks of an answer.
How does it feel? He remains in thought for a few minutes before going over to the wall placing a hand on it as words appear. The guys gathering around reading it as Relon leans against said wall, his eyes closed awaiting the group's responses. After a moment if silence, he opens them looking at his classmates, many of their looks that if astonishment. I guess they're at a loss for words. He gets off the wall going back to finish putting his costume as his classmates just continue to look at the wall of words. He puts his gloves and scarf on as he returns to the group. Midoriya looks to him.
"So that's how you feel..." He nods at this as the others look to him with shocked expressions. "I'm glad. Seeing you like this compared to yesterday, it's relieving." Deku extends his hand causing Relon to raise a eyebrow. "Congratulations."
The others soon gather around. He looks at everyone giving their approvals, applauds, et cetera. He looks back to Midoriya griping his hand. Another hand places itself on top if theirs as they look to see Kaminari.
"Looks like you didn't need our help after all. Congrats, dude! For being the first guy of Class 1-A to get a girl." He cheers as soon, many of the guys put their hands in. All except Bakugou.
"Hey, Bakugou. Come over here and celebrate a little, man." Kirishima calls.
"Yeah, right. Not interested in some lovey-dovey crap. I'm headin' out."
"Don't mind him, Lucinance. You know how he is." Kirishima says. "Congrats though, you got one of if not the best girls on the school!"
"Anyone can tell how he is after his mouth opens." Shoji comments causing the group to laugh.
"Though I am happy for your status achievement, remember not to neglect your studies." Iida says gaining a nod the teen.
"For someone who doesn't talk, you have a way with words. That is a gift that you should use well." Tokoyami mentions as everyone looks to the wall.
Midoriya simply asked for my thoughts on not being single but I said more after that...
He looks at the words he created.
"Let's get going, everyone.. The others are most likely waiting." Midoriya says.
The others nod looking on at the board one last time before leaving. Kaminari carrying a knocked out Mineta. They all walk out with Relon leading the group to be met by the six female students waiting outside.
"What took you guys so long?" Jirou asks.
"Oh, just doing some guy stuff." Kaminari retorts.
"Oh? Is that so? So you weren't by any chance, oh I don't know, pestering Lucinance over his new relationship with Momo?" She cuts her eyes cheekily as Kaminari smiles nervously.
"W-wait we were uh, well whatever! I bet you were doing the same thing!" This time she is the one to look away nervously.
"Huh!? As if!" She crosses her arms looking away as the class of 1-A laughs at their antics.
"Everyone, let us proceed! Aizawa sensei is waiting for us." Iida says, waving his arm robot-like.
"Yeah! Hey, why not let the new couple lead us, hehe." Mina suggests.
Huh?
"Wha-
"Hey, that's a good idea!" Uraraka says.
"Ooh ooh, let the love duo lead the charge!" Hagakure chimes in
"Yeah, that's so manly!" Kirishima states.
"We're counting on you, Lucinance." Sero says.
Jirou looks to Mina who's giggling from the reactions including Relon's and Momo's.
"You're going to be doing this a lot aren't you?"
"Oh, so much." She grins.
"You're so evil." Jirou chuckles.
"Lead us! Lead us! Lead us! Lead us!" They all chant.
Relon and Momo look to their classmates before at one another, a sigh escaping them both.
"We both saw this coming." She states as he nods looking down the hallway. "Ready?" He nods again. "Well then, let's go!" The two lead the way leaving the others to follow suit, everyone chatting about the trip.
Relon glances at his girlfriend. I wonder. Did the girls do the same thing to her that the guys did to me? The question she asked back at his apartment rings in his mind. Is there a chance... she could regret this? He looks at her as she's facing forward as he too turns looking ahead. I can't tell. Not right now. All I know... He reaches for her hand surprising the girl as she looks to him. Is that I want to make the most of this!
"Awww!" He's snapped from his thoughts as he turns to the girls awing at the sight.
"Can't keep your hands off her, huh?" Mina teases.
Before he can fully let go, he feels Momo grip his hand causing the teen to look at her.
"There's nothing wrong with showing physical affection, right?" She says to Mina as she then looks to Relon who blinks at first before nodding giving his girlfriend a smile.
"Score one for team ReMo!" Hagakure squeals causing the class to look at her in wonder.
"Team ReMo?" Ojiro questions.
"Yeah. You know how people make ship names using half of the guy's first name and the other half of the girl's? Well we have Relon and Momo so that makes ReMo~."
"A-ah, I see."
"ReMo, huh? It has a ring to it." Momo says.
It's either ReMo or MoLon... Yeah, ReMo is better.
Minutes pass before Class 1-A arrive at the stands an annoyed-looking Bakugou seeming and tired-looking Aizawa.
"Now that you're all here, we can get going. On the bus. Sit wherever you want." He orders to then look at Relon and Momo.
Damn it, Recovery Girl won the bet.
"Yes sir!" One after another with Iida doing his job as president, they all file on the bus with Relon and Momo being the first inside.
"Hey." He turns his head to Momo. "Would you like to... maybe sit together?" She asks, her voice somewhat nervous
He nods as he takes a seat in the middle section close to the window with her next to him. Once everyone is seated and accounted for, the bus takes off. Relon rests his head back on the seat as he adjusts his scarf to use as a type of cushion.
"Hey Lucinance, I've been meaning to ask you something." Mina starts sitting behind the couple. "Why did you add a scarf to your costume? I didn't see you using it during the combat training."
"Now that you mention it, why do you wear that scarf, Relon?" She pulls out the card from this morning as she looks at it but sees nothing to look at Relon who is now just looking at the girl. "What? We've been communicating so much it feels only natural." All of their classmates turning to listen out of curiosity including Aizawa.
She has a point...
"Ara ara~ Just how much have you two been talking I wonder." Mina teases.
Did... she just say 'ara ara?'
He shakes his head from the pink girl's antics and does a twirl of his finger as words appear.
"I can manipulate my scarf with my quirk to extend it's length, use it as a type of capture device by wrapping around my opponents if necessary, and even a type of grapple..."
"Whoa! You can do all that?" The pink girl actually shocked out of her teasing.
He nods.
"YaoMomo, you don't look nowhere near as surprised."
"Considering his fighting style from the combat training, it makes a lot of sense to me. Think about it. Relon's cards are what he uses as his main offense. Yet once he's used them, he uses the cards he's discarded from previous attacks to act as traps or follow-up attacks to throw off his opponent. It's a tactical style and with his scarf, it only adds to his diverse utility in handling any given situation. That I think sums it up, wouldn't you say?" He nods.
Not to mention his distorted hand he showed last night... She glances to his hand she's holding. There's so much about him I don't know but all I can do is be patient.
Tch, whatever. So he can do a lot, big deal. None of it matters anyway since he can't beat me. Bakugou turns back ahead staring out a window.
Relon Lucinance. First you describe having supposedly unlimited healing capabilities and now all of this... Configuration... Aizawa refocuses ahead as he thinks more to himself on what he just heard..
"When you put it like that, it reminds me of your quirk, Yaoyorozu. Ribbit." Tsuyu says gaining the class' attention.
"What do you mean?"
"Your quirk is Creation which lets you create anything inorganic. Lucinance's is Configuration and as you described it as being versatile, your quirk works the same if you think about it."
"Now that Tsuyu mentions it, she's right." Jirou starts. "Momo can create objects and Lucinance can manipulate objects. Whatever you make, he could alter and use it however he liked. It's like you two were made for each other."
"If you two fought together you'd make one heck of a team." Kaminari adds.
When they put it like that, Relon and I can work off one another. I could create anything he needs.
"It's like Yaoyorozu is a blacksmith and Lucinance is a warrior gaining a new weapon." Todoroki comments.
"Whoa! That's so accurate." Mina responds.
"Huh? You know I never would have compared them to that." Sero mentions imagining the two as such.
"The more we learn about ReMo the stronger they become~"
"You have a point there." Momo turns to Relon. "What do you- Ah..." Her small gasp gaining the others attention as they all look to find a sleeping Relon.
He goes from upright to his head sliding onto Momo's shoulder.
"I wonder why he's so tired?" Mina comments giving Momo a look.
"Ahem! I already told you, I stopped by his home before he could properly wake up." She cuts her eyes back at the pink girl who only snickers.
"Well Lucinance has the right idea. We have some time before we reach USJ so I'm gonna take some Z's." Kaminari says resting his head against the window.
Momo looks at Relon as she lightly brushes his hair in front of his face aside with her free hand.
You sure like to sleep, don't you? She smiles at the dormant teen as she rests her head on his, closing her eyes letting out a yawn. I could use some rest still, I suppose...
Uraraka looks at the resting couple then to Deku further up. A hand going to her chest. Something Tsuyu takes note of.
"Alright, we're here. Everybody off." Aizawa calls.
"So who wants to wake them up?" Jirou asks.
"Aww, do we have to? They look so cute together~." The invisible girl comments
"Hey, you lovebirds. It's time to wakey wakey." Mina says rocking the two's shoulders.
Relon stretches before standing.
"You really like sleeping don't you, Lucinance?" Kirishima calls further ahead to gain a unsteady nod from the drowsy teen.
That nap was so needed. He looks to Momo who stands up as the class depart from the bus.
Now all grouped up, they all look at the dome structure as the hero, Thirteen, introduces himself and talks about the USJ.
So that's the USJ... Relon is in the back of the grouped up class with Momo beside him. He looks to her and immediately a blush appears as he immediately looks away. Just like before, she's stretching her back which is making her semi-exposed chest more noticeable. She looks to Relon in confusion.
"Relon, what's-" She looks down and realizes what she's doing as she quickly covers herself. "S-sorry..." She mutters looking away in embarrassment for Relon to poke her gaining the girl's attention as she takes out his card from her belt looking at it.
'It's fine, Momo. I just don't want you to hate me for staring. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't tempting.' She reads to look at the blushing teen still averting his eyes.
Normally when some guy's gaze was on the developed girl, she would often ignore them. It is only natural that guys would check out girl. They were of that age after all. But older adult and such always annoyed her. No lifes trying to satisfy their sexual urges their hormones give them. Often she would do one of those things or give a glare to which boys her age would often looks away or leave once she caught them checking out the girl. Yet here was a teen, her own boyfriend for that matter, who like everyone else, was going through puberty. But unlike the others like Mineta and Kaminari, he looked away every chance he has gotten a good look at the girl. She noticed this when they first met after changing. Then again in front of Relon's apartment. Even now, time after time he could have gazed at her like any other guy would do but he didn't. Not once. All because he didn't want her to hate him.
He really is something... A gentleman as well as honest... and he's now my boyfriend...
She looks at her chest before back to Relon. The class beginning to leave as Relon starts to follow. She walks next to him as he looks her way.
"I could never hate you." She says low enough for only him to hear as she looks at the male teen. "And..." She moves close to his ear. "I don't mind if you look at me like that." His eyes widens as she hurries ahead catching up with the class leaving a stunned Relon dead in his tracks.
...
...
Did... she just give me permission to check her out?
He shakes his head at the thought as he catches up to the class as they all enter through the blue gate into the USJ.
"Whoaaaaa!" The class awe at the sight of multiple field locations ranging from a shipwreck and landslide to a fire and windstorm area.
"Alright then, first-
CRACK.
Everyone watches electric currents pass through the ceiling lights as they go out. A strong sensation suddenly hitting Relon as he falls to one knee clutching his head as everyone looks to him.
Another one... Approaches... Use me...
"Relon!" Momo rushes to his side. What's wrong!?"
What are... No... Another survivor!?
"Look!" Everyone turns as down the staircase in front of a water fountain, a black mist-like portal appears. Out steps a grey haired man with hands covering his face followed by what seems like dozens if not a hundred thugs. Then a large shirtless creature with with brown pants, some red scars, a large muscular physique, a long mouth, but most of all, its is brain clearly visible. And finally a teenage girl looking around Class 1-A's age steps out.
Relon's eyes look in disbelief as he gets up walking to the front of the group next to Aizawa.
No... no... no...
The girl is wearing a dirty and tattered pink kimono with her hair a mess. Her left sleeve seems to have been torn off as on her left wrist is a black DNA-like bracelet. She's bare foot with chains around her feet, handcuffs attached, and a collar around her neck.
...Kanao?
"Gather together and don't move! Thirteen, protect the students!"
"Is this like the entrance exam where the lesson has already started?" Kirishima questions as the class begins to move.
"Don't move!" They all stop to stare at their homeroom teacher in surprise as he puts on his goggles. "Those are villains. The trespassing the other day was the work of these dirtbags after all, huh?"
"What? Villains? No way... There's no way they could get into a hero school!" Kirishima exclaims in disbelief as Momo steps forward.
"Sensei, what about the trespasser sensors?"
"We have them of course, but..."
"Did they only appear here or around the whole school? Either way if the sensors aren't responding, that means they have someone with a quirk that can do that. An isolated are separated from the main campus during a time when a class is supposed to be here. They might be idiots but they certainly aren't dumb. This attack was carefully planned with a goal in mind." Todoroki surmises.
"Thirteen, start the evacuation. Try contacting the school. These villains had something to counteract the sensors so it's possible someone is interfering with radio-wave-type quirks. Kaminari, try contacting the school as well."
"Yes sir."
"What about you sir? Are you going to fight alone!? Even with that many, even if you can erase their quirks... your style of fighting doesn't match this kin of situation. A frontal type of battle is..."
"You can't be a hero with just one trick." This catches Deku's attention as he looks to his teacher. "Thirteen, I'm counting on you." He nods in acknowledgment as Aizawa prepares to jump, he sees a card fly straight to the enemy.
Everyone looks to see Relon having thrown said card.
"Lucinance, what are you-
Relon puts a hand up silencing his teacher as he looks on at the card as it flies straight to the back of the group of villains where the hand-having villain, the overgrown creature and the teenage girl are. The card flies at the hand-loving villain and the bigger creatures goes to intercept but with a motion of his finger, the card dives out of the way landing in front of the girl. She looks at the words on it picking it up as she turns the card over. Relon watches as she reads it before the hand villain snatches the card away ripping it as he seems to say something to the girl as she backs away looking straight to the hero group.
Damn it! I need to get down there to tell if it's really her or not.
Use me... Or everyone will die... Including you...
Relon clutches his head once more as he falls to a knee.
Why are... you so damn persistent!? I don't need you!
"Lucinance!" He's snapped from his thoughts by Aizawa. "Explain yourself, now." He stands back up as the entity fade into his subconscious as he tosses his teacher a card.
"That girl is a hostage and you know her? How?" He and the class looking at the teen as he focuses on the villains slowly approaching waving a finger causing Aizawa's words to widen as he tosses the card back.
"I see." He too turns to the villains. "I know about your history, everything you've been through. At least what the government decided to place down on your background information. I know you can take care of yourself an I know you want to let go of the past." This catches everyone's attention, especially Relon's and Momo's. "But sometimes you can't forget no matter how much you want to. Whatever happens will forever be a part of who you are. The best you can do is embrace it and move on. That is only one meaning to being a hero. Use what you were given and don't despise it, embrace it as your own." Todoroki widens at that statement. "You should strive to be a hero that doesn't limit yourself. If you bind your abilities, you'll never grow." He jumps down as the class looks on in surprise as he engages the enemies. "I'll do what I can to save her, you all get to safety!"
I remember him telling me when I first met him that he knew about my past. He knew about both my Malevolence Form and Eramsus Mode and yet he is telling me to embrace that evil power... Make it my own? Relon looks at his left hand.
Yes... Do it... Give in... You need me...
He clutches his head.
Why.. are you so stubborn!?
You know... As well as I do... You're not strong enough... Without me... You've already used my power twice... Since coming here... The first with Crono... and the second last night...
Yeah and the first time, you had shut the hell up since I used Eramsus Mode against Nunu and the second... wait, you never said anything last night. You've always appeared when I have been in danger or when another survivor was near. Where the hell weren't you last night!? He stands breathing heavily as the class is preoccupied with the battle below. I used 50% yet you didn't try to use your temptation once. Why?
The only reason was... your conflicted emotions and despair... were absolutely divine... I was curious of the outcome... Since you called upon my power... All of your own accord...
Curious? Since when could you feel emotions!?
You simple-minded fool... I am a part of you... As such, I too... mature... both physically... and mentally...
Physically being the Malevolence Form's strength and mentally being emotions like curiosity and... oh no...
Yessssss... Emotions like compassion for another...
Shut up! You're just a being that's living in my body. You can't possibly understand any of that!
There is much... You fools don't know... Use my power... Or we both shall perish... Your other disgusting form... Can't protect you like I can... Besides, you don't want... your female companion to know... too much...
I know what you're doing. Don't think it'll work.
I only speak... The Truth...
Once more, Relon feels the evil presence disappears as he refocuses on the battle below.
Aizawa is easily more skilled. Those villains must be nothing more than hired thugs. But those three in the back with who I think is Kanao... They're different. I don't know if Aizawa sensei can deal with them. I could end all of this but that would mean revealing my powers to the others and Momo... Embrace it... I fear if I attempt to use that power fully I'll lose control just like... back then. He looks to the ground. Malevolence Form and Eramsus Mode are polar opposites. Malevolence Form's overall power and durability is superior to Eramsus Mode. While Eramsus Mode is superior in its sustainability and diverse move pool. Unlike in my Malevolence Form, I can be in Eramsus Mode as long as I want without any repercussions but with Malevolence Form, that entity slowly gains control the longer I use that form. That's why I have used Eramsus Mode along with Malevolence Form. Because Eramsus Mode counteracts the entity's control allowing me full control. The only downside being that having both forms activated requires full focus as I have to scale my holy power at the same level as my malevolent one. I can't go higher with Eramsus Mode because for some reason I'll just get weaker. Originally, I thought having both forms would make me twice as strong but for some reason it has the opposite effect. My body could be at 100% and with 50% of my Malevolence Form, my strength rises to 150%. Yet when I add in 50% of Eramsus Mode, my power drops to 125%. And if I scale my evil power higher by accident than my holy form, then the entity's presence grows stronger and will try to suppress the holy form.
He looks as Aizawa as he takes down one villain after another.
To use that evil power willingly after what it made me do... Mom... Aura... Even with Eramsus Mode's assistance, using that power... that killed them...
He clenches his hands into fist. Damn it! Everyone's life is in danger and here I am doing nothing!
"Everyone! We must leave, now!" Thirteen calls.
"Everyone begins leaving as Relon and Deku remain.
"Wow. Aizawa sensei is actually good at fighting himself against a lot of people, huh?" He comments as he looks to Relon.
Aizawa sensei said he knew what you have been through and said you can take care of yourself. What you've been through... Does that have to do with your "Given" power?
"This is no time for analysis! Hurry, we need to escape!" Iida calls.
"Y-yeah! Lucinance, lets go!" He turns running to the group.
What do I do? What the hell should I do!? Everything has been happening so fast since I got here. One after another! I used that evil form at 50% without Eramsus Mode because I let my emotion get the better of me. My emotions clouded my judgement and I forgot about the reason why I didn't want to use that form. I used that evil form both times, the first I still had enough common sense to use my holy mode but the second I used it on my own accord without the temptation. The power... It felt just like when I used 100%. No one could beat me...
Then it clicks.
No. It's not about winning. It's about doing what's right. Both times I used Malevolence Form were against Nunu when he threatened and disrespected Momo. I wanted him to take those words back. That was the right thing to do.
Yes... Keep going...
He winces at the entity's voice returning once more.
A hero is someone that does the right thing for the greater good.
More...
Everyday has been a challenge since I got here. For seven years I remained exiled with little human interaction. I never expected for so much to happen since I got here. Let alone something happening everyday...
That's it...
Momo turns seeing Relon still at the top of the staircase.
"Relon, we need to go!"
He turns to Momo, their faces meeting. He gives her a soft smile as she looks wondering why he's giving her that look.
'I want to be a hero so I can use the power I've been given for helping others.' That's what I told Midoriya last night. I didn't think too much on that answer and Midoriya may have guessed something with how I worded it. But I've been given both Malevolence Form and Eramsus Mode. Both of which are mine and only mine! I use them how I see fit.
"THEN YOU FUCKING MAKE UP FOR THEIR LIVES BY WORKING TWICE AS MUCH! I BET MY ASS THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO MOPE ANYMORE OVER THEM. IF THEY'RE YOUR FAMILY THEN EVEN IN DEATH, I'LL PUT FIVE ON IT THAT THEY WANT WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU!"
Mom... Aura... I killed you. I couldn't control this evil power and because of it, you're both gone. I failed at protecting you two like I wanted... I'll forever be your murderer but that doesn't mean I have to remain in that mindset... does it? I'm here to better myself and make up for what I did to you two. I'm a human with blood on my hands trying to do what's right. Feeling sorry for myself has done nothing but make me a burden for those around me. Both Nunu and Aizawa sensei said to embrace what I have. I can't do that fully but I can sure as hell do that partially!
Down with Aizawa, he slowly begins to be surrounded by villains as he take down the endless horde one after another. This is bad! They're closing in!
"You're mine!" He turns as a villain with a scythe for an arm jumps at Aizawa.
Before Aizawa can dodge, a card flies straight at the villain wrapping itself around him. He looks at the top of the stairs to see Relon sending more his way. Before any villain around the teacher has a chance to react, they are all incapacitated by the cards. He looks around now relieved having the villains' pressure off of him. He glances at Relon as the teen tosses another card at Aizawa as it stops in front of him for Aizawa to read. He looks up to Relon, a determined expression on his face as clear as day.
So, you've made your decision.
"Alright then! Hurry up, Lucinance!" Aizawa shouts as he goes back on the attack dodging a villain with a crab body.
Relon nods in acknowledgement as he turns running to the class.
First we'll get everyone out of here and then I'll head back and assist Aizawa sensei and rescue the girl I believe to be Kanao in the process!
"Kurogiri."
"I'm on it." The mist-like villain disappears.
"Shit! I just blinked once and the guy who looks to be the most trouble got away!" Aizawa curses as attempts to run after the villain but more block his way.
Kurogiri reappears in front of the exit causing everyone to stop.
"Nice to meet you. We are the League of Villains. It may be presumptuous of us, but we have invited ourselves in to the home of the heroes, U.A. High School, in order to have All Might, the Symbol of Peace, take his last breath." He says, many trembling at his words. "I believe All Might should have been here. Has there been a kind of change? Well, that is neither her nor there. This is the part I am to play." Thirteen prepares to attack but stops as Bakugou and Kirishima jump at the villain attacking him as an explosion erupts.
"Did you consider that you'd get beaten by us before you did it?" Kirishima smirks
"Oh dear, that's dangerous." His voice catching everyone's attention as the smoke clears revealing the villain unharmed. "That's right. Even if you are students, you are excellent golden eggs." He states.
"No! Move away you two!" Thirteen shouts causing the two to look back at him.
"My job is to scatter you all and torture you to death!" He spreads his mist as it covers the students.
Damn it! Momo! Relon reaches his hand bracing himself from the strong blowing mist.
Momo turns her head seeing Relon reach for her as she protects her face with one hand and reaches for his with the other. Almost... There... Got you! They grip each other.
Iida pulls Uraraka and Sato out as the mist becomes stronger. The three look on as their class is covered in a purple mist dome.
"Everyone!" Iida shouts.
All he sees is the purple mist and suddenly he feels himself falling. The mist dissipates as he along with Momo are falling to the ground.
"Relon!" He nods pulling her to him adjusting her to be in his arms bridal style before landing on the ground. "Thanks, that was close. Now, where are we?" He puts her down as they scam the environment.
"We're in the mountain zone by the looks of it." They both turn to see Jirou and Kaminari approaching, Jirou speaking. "That mist guy must have separated us into the other zones."
"Um, you guys." They turn to Kaminari as he's points around them. "We got company!" The group gets into a fighting stance, their backs to the mountain wall as more villains approach them. "Kyouka, here!" Momo creates a sword handing it to the girl as she materializes her signature staff.
Relon steps forward, his fists gripping themselves hard. Damn it! I need to get to sensei as soon as I can! But Momo's and the other's safety are now my top priority. Aizawa sensei, hang on just a while longer! He looks back at Momo who notices and nods as Relon returns the nod as he jumps over into the crowd of villains.
He sidesteps away from a cloaked figure with long hair looking like Jesus with a scythe as he kicks the villain away. He jumps landing on the back of an amphibian, who had lunged for the teen, with hooves for feet knocking the breath out of the evildoer. He puts a giant card in front of him as two more villains, one with a broadsword and another dual-wielding, slashes at the card as they are repelled to the ground.
"Relon, behind you!" Momo shouts as he turns to a bulky villain with a helmet attempting to grab him.
"He uses his large card as a type of spring pad as he flips from it landing on top of the villain on his shoulders. He removes the helmet jumping down as he swings the heel of his foot right under the villain's jaw sending the large man to the ground unconscious as he flips down landing on one knee now with his classmates once more.
"Whoa..." Is all Jirou and Kaminari can utter.
"Momo, your boyfriend is a total badass." Jirou mentions.
"I know." She smiles at his back. "Kyouka, Kaminari. We'll provide cover for Relon, alright?"
"Okay!"
"Y-yeah. Wait! Give me a weapon!" Kaminari responds.
"You're the electric guy, aren't you? You can just zap them!"
"You saw during the combat training! I can only cover myself with electricity! I can discharge it but I can't control where it goes! I'll hit you guys too!"
"Yes, I went against it after all." Momo comments.
"In that case..." She kicks the human Pikachu at a villain as Kaminari lets loose a voltage of electricity. "We'll just use you as a human stun gun so stop whining!"
"Whoa, it worked! You can count on me!"
"You're too happy-go-lucky." Jirou deadpans to then see a villain begin to sent a ball of rocks at them.
She connects her Earphone Jacks to her leg amps sending a vibration to the villain causing the rocks to crumble and hus elastic arm to land on Kaminari shocking him as well. Another villain, this time with two small knives, jumps towards Kaminari and Jirou but Momo throws a net entangling the villain as he too falls prey to Kaminari's electricity.
"Both of you should take this more seriously!" Momo barks, dodging a villain and hitting them in the head with her staff knocking them out.
"Sorry, it seemed like a good idea at the time." Jirou apologizes.
"You're mine!" Jirou looks up as a villain jumps from over the ledge.
She dodges out of the way as Momo kicks the villain towards Relon who knees him in the back to then grab his collar and yeet him into a crowd of villains.
"It's done!"
"What is?"
"It takes time... to create something this big!" Out of Yaoyorozu's back pops out a insulation sheet.
"Kyouka, Relon! Get in!" Both do as told. "Kaminari, you're up!" She calls closing it.
He smirks.
"I get it... In that case, I can let loose!" He throws his hands to the ground as electricity runs wild in every direction shocking all of the villains.
Eventually, all is quiet as Momo raises the sheet to see the villains knocked out.
"Now then, I am worried about the others."
"Um, Momo?" Jirou calls nervously.
"Hm? What is it?" She watches as Jirou covers her eyes pointing at Momo as the girl looks down to see her whole chest fully exposed, the front of the costume torn from the attack. "Oh, I can make a new one." She smiles as a thought crosses her mind after saying that for her to glance to where Relon is, his face looking away as a crimson blush is noticeable.
"Then hurry up and do it." She quickly exits seeming to forget about Relon as she checks on Kaminari.
Violent growth... Jirou thinks walking over to her blonde companion.
Did he see them?
I just saw them...
"Hey." He slowly moves his eyes towards her as she's now covering the middle of her chest with her arm, a blush apparent on her face as well. "Are you okay?" He nods looking straight at the girl, refusing to avert his eyes any lower as he can already see enough from his peripheral. "Good." She breathes a sigh of relief. "H-hey, remember that thing I said... before we came in here?" She averts her eyes.
He blinks as it clicks in his head as he looks away nodding slowly. She inches closer now sitting beside him with the blanket fully covering the two, both of their hearts beating at an increased rate. He remains looking forward from the sight of her chest. "Relon, look at me." He inches his gaze to her stopping halfway. "Please?" He fully turns his head to her, their eyes locking onto each other as she puts both hands to his cheeks. "I don't mind if you look at me like that, really." His eyes widen at her words. "You're my boyfriend, after all. When you look at me, it makes me feel... happy that you're looking at me for my looks. I know you haven't before, at least that's my guess, but I don't mind every now and then. I know we just started dating and this isn't the time or place to talk about this... but just know you can look at them, okay?"
She lets go of his face as she looks on placing a arm over her breasts, all he can do is nod.
He averts his eyes before looking at her. She gives the smallest of nods with a smile to back it up. His blush brightens as his eyes slowly descend from her onyx eyes to her collarbone, then he plants his eyes on her breasts. Leaving nothing to his imagination but her arm covering her most crucial asset among her assets. He gazes at them as if they're that of a goddess. Yet only to Relon, Momo is his goddess. Her proportions every bit as bountiful as he imagined. The sight of such beauty that he is allowed to gaze at leaves his eyes glued unable to look away, as if in a trance. He suddenly feels his arm rise ever so slowly before he places it back.
Calm down, Relon. Don't stare too long. You have work to do. He looks from the godlike sight, to his girlfriend.
"Did you like what you saw?" She teases causing the teen's whole face to turn fully red as he steps out of the sheet trying to calm his nerves.
Momo now left alone can only chuckle. I guess that comment was too much for him. She looks to her trembling hand and then her cleavage. Maybe too much for me too. She remakes her costume as she leaves the insulation sheet regrouping with the others.
"I say we need to get back to the front gate. That's the most likely place the others will still be for those that haven't been scatter." Momo says.
"Yeah, that sound good. Kaminari let's-
Jirou looks in horror as a shirtless villain with a skull mask and ballistic vest holds up an idiotic Kaminari.
"Hands up. No quirks allowed. Use them and the boy dies." He orders holding the electric-quirk-user.
"Kaminari!"
"Damn it, we let our guards down!"
Relon walks past the two towards the villain, his left hand extended to his side.
"Wait, Lucinance! You heard what he said, right!?"
"Kyouka, wait." Momo whispers. "Just watch, Relon knows what he's doing."
"You don't care if he dies, do you? So be it!" The man rears his fist back.
"Kaminari!" Jirou shouts.
In an instant the two boys disappear as everyone looks around trying to find them.
"What the? Where did they go!?" The villain looks to the girls before he is suddenly kicked from behind by Relon carrying a brainless-looking Kaminari under his arm.
"What... just happened?" Jirou questions in disbelief.
"Relon assessed the situation and took care of it." Momo answers walking to the boys.
They regroup as Jirou kicks the villain in the head to see he's unconscious.
"You know, Lucinance. I've seen your kicks. Did you ever play soccer or do martial arts?" Jirou comments to gain a shake.
I feel bad for anyone that crosses your path. She nervously chuckles.
Momo looks at Relon and notices black marking slowly seep under his scarf. So he used that strange power again...
"Now that we've taken care of the villains here, let's get going to the others." Momo says.
"It's gonna take forever to get there though. We need to hurry." Jirou says.
Relon snaps his fingers gaining the girls' attention as he tosses two cards from his sleeve as they expand to a large size that someone can ride on. He jumps on extending his hand to Momo.
"You want us to ride on your cards?" His girlfriend asks to gain a nod.
"Wait, what if we fall off?" He twirls his fingers. "You'll make it so we can stick to it?" Jirou looks hesitant but relents. "It's better than running there. Alright, let's hurry." She takes Kaminari and holds him as she steps on the card seeing her feet unable to remove themselves.
Momo takes a hold of Relon's hand as he helps her up. She too sees that she's stuck to the card.
Next stop, the entrance! The group takes off soaring to their destination at high speeds, Momo holding onto the back of Relon with Jirou holding into Kaminari. Relon trying his best to focus as he feels Yaoyorozu press against his back.
"Look down there!" Jirou shouts as the group of three and a half see Aizawa still fighting off the horde of villains.
"Look at the top of the stairs! I see some of the others and Thirteen!" Momo shouts.
They reach the stairs landing to be met by the others.
"YaoMomo, Jirou, Lucinance, and... Kaminari?" Mina calls as she and the others look at the blonde.
Relon immediately goes to check on Thirteen.
"You're... Lucinance, right?" He struggles to asks as Relon nods. "Don't worry about me, I'm fine..." He slowly collapses to the ground with Uraraka and Mina supporting the injured hero.
"Iida went to get help. So it won't be long now." Uraraka mentions.
Thirteen... Relon nods as he heads to the top of the stairs looking on as Aizawa is still at work dispatching the weak villains. He's getting tired. Fighting so many for so long is taking its toll. He looks at his left hand, Momo taking note of this as she hurries to his side.
"You're using that again." He turns to look at her, concern on her face as well as in her tone. "Are you going to be alright?"
As long as I remain in total balance I'll be fine.
"Relon..." He looks to her. "I know you're strong but please be careful... If something happened to you..." He fully turns to her reaching his hand behind her head and pulling her in as their foreheads gently touch one another to the girl's surprise.
He looks at her giving his girlfriend a small smile. She reaches down and grabs his hand.
"Be careful." He nods as they step back from one another, nothing else needing to be said.
His soft demeanor slowly shifts to that of determination as he walks forward to the edge of the stair case.
Total Balance, that has a nice ring to it. Relon closes his eyes as he channels the evil and holy power throughout his body. Wind suddenly picking up around the teen as gales of black and white swirl around him. More and more appearing until he is completely covered by the wind, this gaining all of the villains' and Aizawa's attention. His classmates watching in awe as Momo looks on, her hands together as if she's praying. My costume is covering the markings so that's good. I'm maintaining 30% just like with Nunu. Alright... He opens his eyes as the black and white whirlwind around him disperses, him taking a single step forward. Time to be a hero! He vanishes from sight.
Everyone looking around for the teenage male. From the top of the stairs, Momo and the others see him standing on a card high above the villains. High enough that the group would think he's able to touch the ceiling.
Relon looks down as the villains who are in disarray as they look around for him, giving Aizawa a quick inhales and exhales slowly, pulling out power from his form. His mouth now seemingly gone as a black mask made from markings takes its place. Steady... remain calm and focused... His left hand changing to that of a large demonic one as his right radiates a white light. Good, it's still working. He flexes his left and right hand. He steps off to the edge of his hovering card, balling his giant red and black demonic hand into a fist. He tilts his body forward as he falls from his card descending towards the mass of humans. Everyone on the ground looks around before finally looking up to see the teen zooming towards them like a bullet.
"Incoming!" A villain shouts as they all see Relon with his morphed hand reared back.
CRASH.
A huge huge black and white dust cloud erupts sending wind in all directions knocking some villains off their feet as Aizawa and the other villains anchor themselves. Once the dust settles, everyone sees a crater and the villains after looking in it, sees many of their unconscious allies with Relon at the center. He jumps out landing over next to Aizawa.
"So this is what you look like using that power. Kids these days." He says in between breathes taking note of Relon's hands as well as his black eyes with their white slits.
Relon looks at his teacher as he places his right hand on Aizawa's shoulder.
"What are you- He stops as he realizes what's happening.
He restoring my stamina? As well as healing me. So that's his other power; the good one.
Relon lets go of his teacher as he exhales, his hands returning to normal as his markings along part if his left side and face remain. I'll drop back to 30% for now. Having that hand hinders my movement.
"Thanks for that." Aizawa says looking around. "No matter how many I drop, they keep coming. The ones in the back haven't moved yet either." Relon looks meeting the hand villain's gaze and then shifts to the muscular being.
Is it being controlled? He then looks to the girl, as he can now see bruises on her. Her eyes seemingly devoid of life. But what caught his attention the most were their color. Pinkish lilac. Kanao... it really is you. He tightens his fists, Aizawa taking notice.
"So, I'm guessing that is her." Relon nods.
I need to keep my Total Balance under control. I can't let my anger get the best of me! Kanao, hang on. I'll save you! He then looks around at the enemies surrounding them.
"We cover each other's back. Once we take these grunts out, we'll deal with the leaders. Understood?"
Yes sir! Relon gets back-to-back with his teacher as he sets himself into a stance.
Aizawa is taken aback by the sudden voice as he looks out the corner of his eye at his student. Questions for later. His bandages start rising as too does his hair as the villains charge at the teacher and student.
"Get ready!" He shouts.
The first wave approaches as Aizawa ducks a punch to retaliate with one of his own before delivering an uppercut to another. Three villains, one with a chain, a hook for a hand, and one with a nailed bat charges at Relon. He vanishes reappearing in front of the first guy elbowing him in the face leaving him unconscious then reappears behind the hooked villain as he twists his hook hand behind him to then flip the villain landing on the ground with a thud. The third villain swings their bat downward for Relon to stop it with one finger as he glares at the villain kicking them a good ways crashing into another group as they are sent over and into the water by the shipwreck zone. The next wave comes as villains shoots out long-ranged attacks all around the duo. Before Aizawa can say or do anything, Relon sends out cards from his sleeves surrounding the two as he enlarges them wide and tall before reinforcing the cards with his kinetic energy, both hands extending to the sides as he blocks the oncoming attacks. He brings his hands together to then raises one finger pointing upwards. Aizawa looks in confusion as he looks up to realize what his student is about to do. The card Relon had jumped from near the ceiling begins splitting into two to then divide until Aizawa can't even make out all the small cards. He looks to Relon who sends his finger abruptly downwards as he looks up to see a hundreds of cards hail downwards as high speed.
"Remember, subdue, don't kill." He quickly says.
I know! Rain of Thorns!
From the staircase, everyone watches in awe at the sight. Hundreds, if not thousands of cards shower the battlefield.
"Whoa... Lucinance can do something like that!? YaoMomo, did you know!?" Mina exclaims as she and Uraraka hold Thirteen.
"Remind me never to get on his bad side." Sero says nervously.
"Yeah... same." Sato says looking at the sight.
Momo just looks on, refusing to take her eyes off of the fight.
After a moment, Relon raises the cards above him as they check Relon's work.
"Looks like that attack of yours did the trick in taking most of them out. Let's take them out while they're in disarray!" Aizawa rushes with Relon hot on his tail.
All of the remaining grunts rush at the two as three jump towards Aizawa as he grabs them with his bandages smacking them into one another before continuing on, Relon jumping over the pile of villains. One villain up ahead of the duo prepares to shoot a beam from his hands it ceases as Aizawa's eyes glow red.
"Lucinance, go!" Relon vanishes appearing in front of said villain to back hand him to the ground knocked out.
Relon looks forward at the main two villains and Kanao but remembers about Aizawa. He turns back seeing him fight off he remaining villains, eight in total. Aizawa is dodging attack after attack. He ducks under a swipe at his face to then rolls away from another strike.
"Gotcha!" He turns his head to see a villain with a gun pointed at him.
The world goes slow. Aizawa going wide as he sees a foot make contact with the villain, time seeming to return to normal. The gun villain skidding across the ground over to the hand, mist, and brain-shoeing villains. Relon disappears as he punches and kicks the remaining seven villains into the air.
Here's the serve! Sensei!Without any hesitation, Aizawa grabs all seven in the air with his bandages packing them together in a ball as he then brings it down slamming to the ground, dust appearing. As it settles, it shows the villains defeated.
"And there's the follow up." He says bringing the bandages back around him.
"Whoooooaaaa, Lucinance and Aizawa sensei just took out all those villains! They're so amazing!" Mineta squeals as he, Tsuyu, and Deku are laying low along the edge battlefield in the water having seen the whole thing.
"Ribbit. Who would have thought he was so strong. Ribbit."
Deku looks on speechless. His hands looked so odd. One was glowing and the other looked like that of some evil demon or something. And his, face, where's his mouth. What are those markings. Lucinance, who or what are you? Whatever the answer is, I'm just glad you're on our side.
Shinn and Aizawa cautiously approach the villains. The one covered in hands scratching his neck furiously.
"No. No. No. NO. NO! This isn't fair, you had a cheat code! And a damn strong one at that! Where's my cheat code!? Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Start!" He shouts pointing to Lucinance glaring. "Damn it! Kurogiri, get rid of him! Nomu, deal with Eraser Head!"
"Understood!" He disappears reappearing over Relon who pushes Aizawa away before he's surrounded by the purple mist.
"Lucinance!" Aizawa shouts about to use his quirk when he is forced to dodge as the creature, now identified as Nomu, charges at him knocking the teacher back a ways as he slides on his feet to a stop.
"Relon!" Momo shouts about to run down to him but is stopped by Jirou.
"Let go, he needs me!"
"Momo, calm down! Aizawa sensei is with him! We have to have faith that they'll be fine! If you go, you'll only become a liability!" Jirou's words snapping Momo from her panic as she looks back worry apparent, "Have faith in your boyfriend. He'll be fine, I'm sure."
Damn it, they separated us in a mere moment!" You are definitely something else, young one." Kurogiri begins. "How would you feel about giving up this life of good and joining a side where you are free to do whatever you want?" His words ring through Relon's head.
Free to do whatever I want? Sorry, not sorry. I've had that pleasure for the last seven years and I've had enough of that life!
Suddenly, everyone's attention turns to the black mist encased around Relon as white beams of light erupt through the veil of mist. Then a bright light flashes causing everyone to shield their eyes.
"Arrgghhhh!" Kurogiri screams in pain as he falling back to the hand villain.
The light soon fades as everyone stares in awe at the sight before them. Floating just off the ground, circuit markings visible with his right arm glowing with a radiant brightness as the black markings seem to have disappeared, lies Relon. His eyes glowing pure white. White gusts of wind all around him. Everyone is speechless at the sight.
Midoriya looks on, his mouth agape. W-what is that? This feeling... it feels so warm, gentle and even safe. Yet there's also a sort of... strength? Momo looks on, her mouth closed but her eyes shaky as she looks to the form her boyfriend has taken. A breathe of relief somehow escapes her as she falls on her rear at the sight of Relon being okay.
Relon looks at the villains. I had to release Total Balance before he ended up warping me. Eramsus Mode at 50% was enough though. The more evil one is, the more extra power it gains. He shouldn't be moving for a while. Relon looks from him to the villain who seems stunned and changes to look at Kanao. The girl whose eyes seem to glimmer with hope as well as disbelief as she takes a short step forward looking right at Relon. She opens her mouth.
"S-shi...nn?" She musters out.
He descends to the ground releasing his Eramsus Mode as he returns to normal to then smile at the girl giving a nod. She falls to her knees as tears being to swell to her eyes as she is suddenly yanked back by the hand villain.
"Ack!" She lets out as Relon immediately turns back on Total Balance disappearing and reappearing between the two.
He kicks the villain who blocks the attack as he skids to Kurogiri.
"NO! NO! NO! WHY!? WHY! WHY!? WHY ARE YOU HERE!? WHAT IS A SURVIVOR DOING HERE LET ALONE YOU! I THOUGHT I SAW THE LAST OF YOU AT THAT FACILITY!" The hand fetish-having villain shouts, his hands twitching.
Relon's eyes grow wider than ever before as he slowly turns his head to the villain.
"Shigaraki Tomura, calm yourself!" Relon widens his eyes at that name.
No... Relon steps forward, his single word being heard from everyone around them.
Was that Lucinance's voice!?
Izuku wonders.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE, TOMURA!?
"I ASKED YOU FIRST, SHINN! TIME AFTER TIME, WHEN WE WERE YOUNG AND EVEN NOW, YOU WERE ALWAYS THE ONE TO RUIN WHAT I WANTED! I THOUGHT AFTER YOU TOOK OUT THAT MAN YOU STAYED IN EXILE! WHY!? WHY!? WHY!?" He stomps his foot on the ground. "WHY DID YOU HAVE TO COME BACK!?"
Relon just looks on, his eyes like daggers as they glare at Tomura who glares back.
Kanao. He begins softly only she can hear as he looks forward. She only turns her head pulls a single card out as it floats over cutting her chains and handcuffs. It'll be okay now, I'm here. She looks at him, life returning to her eyes as if her dead soul has been given another life. She weakly grips at the back of his jacket as she presses her head against it, silently crying with tears of joy. Relon lowers his eyes to then focus back on Tomura and Kurogiri. How many years did they torture you...? He feels three fingers poke his back. His fists tightens. Are there any others? She shakes her head against him. What's the deal with the collar? She tightens her hold on him to the point of shaking uncontrollably.
"Nomu, return!" Shigaraki calls out as if holding some kind of spherical object in his hand as the creature jumps back to them.
Relon extends his scarf grabbing a hold of Aizawa around his waist and pulling him over to the two.
Where's the remote? Kanao moves her hand pointing at Relon's right pocket. Okay... Sensei, watch over her. I'll be right back.
"What are you about to do?"
That collar around her neck; it can kill her. I'm getting that remote. Cover me, I don't want you getting in the way. He disappears to reappear above Kurogiri as he punches the mist user with his shining right hand to disappear again in front of the villain punching the metal piece as the villain is sent back in pain.
"Nomu, get him!" Tomura orders jumping back with Relon lunging after him, but stops to dodge a punch from the shirtless creature.
He ducks under as he delivers on of his own straight at the gut but stares shocked as the creature seems unfazed as Relon then jumps back.
"Gotta love Shock Absorption." Tomura teases chuckling maniacally.
He just took a hit from a 30% punch with Eramsus Mode. That should have ended it!
"Ahahaha, you noob! You don't get it, do you? Nomu, here, has been genetically altered to have a certain element added. Care to guess which?" Tomura's eye grins.
No...
"Yes! Necrolite! In case miss quiet over there ever decided to try to run or fight, we implanted Necrolite into Nomu here. Not that your gross light power would help since Nomu is a creature with no emotions as he simply does what I tell him. So that punch was nothing but a simple punch to him." Tomura says.
Relon gazes at the monster before him as it charges trying to grab him as Relon begins dodging as he thinks to himself. Necrolite is a material that can only be broken by a few things. Other Necrolite, a super powerful quirk, or a Malevolence Form... Relon glances for a moment to Kanao. She has hers but she's in no condition to fight, not to mention I'm too far away and this Nomu won't let me get very far. Using Total Balance keeps me in control but in order to do damage, I need the full power of my Malevolence Form. He rolls from the creatures fist as he puts up a card between him and the Nomu as it begins hammering Relon's shield like The Hulk. Relon falls to one knee as he holds both hands up reinforcing the card with as much energy as he can. Another hammer strike and the card breaks as Relon immediately crosses his arms as, the Nomu punches him. He skids on him back before flipping upright as he slides back on his feet. He looks up to see the Nomu standing there with Kurogiri behind but no Tomura.
"Lucinance, on your right!" Deku shouts from his hiding spot as Relon turns in the direction to see Shigaraki with his hand reaching for the teen.
Relon steps back as his left hand grips with Tomura's.
"Got you~." He says eerily. "Wait... Why isn't my quirk working!?" He looks past Relon at Aizawa whose hair is standing up and eyes bloodshot red. "Clever move, Eraser He-
SMACK.
Relon delivers a kick to the side of Tomura's face, keeping their hands locked together.
You're going to pay for what you did to Kanao!
He then punches the villain in the same spot as he yanks their hands back causing Tomura to lean in to be met with a knee to the face as he is lifted off the ground, dropping the hand covering said face. In a swift motion, Relon reaches into the villains pocket grabbing the collar's remote and the jumps, spinning, kicking the hand fetish villain in the stomach as he skids across the ground at the Nomu.
Relon vanishes reappearing near Deku, Tsuyu, and Mineta. Hold hands, NOW! The three do without a moment's hesitation as they vanish reappearing with Aizawa and Kanao. He looks at the remote seeing a red and blue button. He pushes the blue button as the collar unlocks falling to the ground to then be crushed by Relon as he lets out a huge sigh as black mixed with white air can be seen from his breath. He is suddenly tackled almost falling over by Kanao as she wraps her arms around him. He soon returns the gesture at the girl.
Thanks for the help, Aizawa sensei.
"Don't mention it. Now, I'd hate to cut the reunion short but they seem ready for round two." They all look as Tomura weakly gets up as Kurogiri and Nomu stand at his sides.
Relon immediate focuses his right hand's power as he places it on the kimono clad girl. She closes her eyes as she takes in the warm sensation. After a few seconds, her skin looks a healthy color as her bruises are no longer visible.
"Lucinance, get the others to the entrance and hurry back, I'll try to hold them off as long as I can." Aizawa says as he steps forward.
Relon nods as everyone grabs hold of one another before they vanish.
"Nomu, Kurogiri... let's get em'."
They appear at the entrance grabbing everyone's attention.
"Relon!" Immediately he is pulled into a hug by his girlfriend. "Are you alright!?" She looks him dead in his eyes as he nod grabbing her hands from his face and placing down.
I'm fine, Momo. Honest. He lets go of his girlfriend. I need to get back down here. Aizawa is fighting alone. He is about to vanish when he notices Kanao still holding his back as he turns to her, loosing her grip from his back in the process. Kanao, stay here. You'll be safe with the others, I promise. Before she can say or do anything, he vanishes.
Momo looks at the girl whose expression is one she cannot describe with her mouth open so slightly as if she wanted to say something. She and the others watch as Kanao begins walking for the stairs as Momo gets in front of her with her arms out blocking the girl.
"Relon just told you to stay here where it's safe. You were just healed too, weren't you? So why-
Like an acrobat, Kanao gracefully jumps over Momo as she lands at the staircase.
"Is everyone Lucinance knows, this weird?" Jirou whispers to Kaminari who has now recovered as he just shrugs.
"Shinn saved me many times." Kanao speaks catching everyone's attention, especially Momo's.
When I thought all was lost, he was there. Even in the face of death, he wore a look of confidence that put any worry at ease. Even now, he's fighting for all of our sakes and has once again saved me. None of you are strong enough to face them except Shinn.
"I'm going to help him as he has helped me so many times." She begins leaving.
"Wait!" She stops turning her head to see Momo. "If you're going out there, a change in attire is needed."
Kanao looks on at the developed teen.
Back on the battlefield, Relon and Aizawa are on the defensive as the three villains attack relentlessly. Relon dodges a grab from Kurogiri's mist as he jumps over Shigaraki to land next to Aizawa as the both dodge to the side from Nomu's fist as they leave smack cracks in the ground. Relon reappears next to Aizawa who pants lightly.
"We're not getting anywhere like this. It's a two on three fight and right when we're about to land a blow, someone else interferes. So troublesome." He mutters as the villains come again.
Kurogiri and Nomu rush at Aizawa while Tomura goes for Relon.
"Here they come!" Aizawa shouts as they disperse.
Relon meets Tomura as he extends his hand, once again grabbing Relon.
"This time, I got you!" Relon's glove begins to crumble showing black markings on his now bare hand. "What!?" Relon grins.
I thought you knew? Quirks don't affect those with Malevolence Form!.
Tomura reaches extends his other hand only to be grabbed by Relon's right hand as that glove crumbles to reveal circuit-like markings.
And the same goes for Eramsus Mode!
"You cheater!" The hand lover screams in anguish. "That's like plot armor!"
Relon jumps pulling both his hands back as he uses both of his now reared back legs to kick Tomura in the stomach knocking his hand off his face once again. Relon rears his head back to deliver a bone splitting-sounding headbutt as Tomura falls back. Relon picks him up by the arm and begins spinning him.
No, they're just like armor!
He tosses Tomura over crashing into Kurogiri. Relon the appears next to Aizawa as they face off against the Nomu.
"Nomu, kill them already!" Kurogiri shouts as he helps Tomura up.
Suddenly, before anyone can process anything, both of Nomu's arms are cut off as the creature just stands there armless as a figure jumps over it landing in front of Relon and Aizawa.
She has her hair tied into a ponytail on the right side of her head, wearing a dark purple gakuran jacket, a white belt around her waist, with a knee-length pleated skirt. Over this, she wears a short white cloak, fastened on one side by a dark pink triple knot, also sporting knee-high lace-up white boots with tan soles, heels and toes. In her hand is a pink and white sword.
Kanao... He smiles. Thank you. She turns walking up to him extending her pinky finger.
"We promised."
He looks in surprise before wrapping his pinky around hers.
Yeah, we did. They let go as Relon moves to stand side by side, the Nomu's arms suddenly regrowing.
Sensei, take it easy. We'll take care of this.
Aizawa looks at the two before nodding.
I'm not capable of fighting that monstrosity but these two are.
You found its weak spot, right? She nods. Alright, let's take it down! They both rush, Kanao with her sword drawn as Relon's left hand becomes that of a demon's while his right shines much more brighter once more.
"The head is its weakness."
We need to subdue, not kill. She looks at the creature.
"The nape can immobilize it." He nods at her words as he takes the lead meeting fists with the Nomu as they trying to overpower one another.
Relon extends his free hand behind him as Kanao jumps onto it flipping over the two as she spins cutting the arm off of the Nomu once more landing behind the creature. Relon grins behind his mask as he rears his hand back slamming it into the beaked monster as it shoots back skidding across the ground and then the water as it crashes into the ship Deku and the others were on earlier. Relon lets out a breathe as he calms himself
For a split second, I switched out of Total Balance to only 50% of my Malevolence Form when I made contact. Kanao, what do you see? He looks to her.
"It's coming back!" Just as she says that the monster jumps from the ship landing before them, its arms slowly growing back. It's working! It's regeneration has slowed! Don't let up! They charge once more but stop as the Nomu releases a bloodcurdling scream.
"Shinn, behind you!" Kanao shouts as Relon turns to barely block a punch from the Nomu as he skids still standing.
He sends his scarf around the beasts arms but it backs away almost instantly
How the hell did it get so fast!? Wait... Is it evolving?"If so, we must make haste and eliminate it!" He nods as they prepare themselves.
It lunges for them rearing its fist. Relon gets in front of the sword wielder as, once again, their fists clash. This time Relon begins sliding back.
It's stronger than a moment ago!?
Kanao runs past Relon and jumps avoiding the other fist as she goes for the head with her blade. The Nomu raises its head back out of the way of her sword and she shifts upside down as she brings her blade back across grazing the neck. Her eyes widen at this as creature's hand that she previously dodged comes directly for her but Relon sends a card out of his right sleeve putting it up in front of her as it takes the blow for Kanao to land safely as she turns to her right cutting off the arm Relon is holding in place. She jumps away as Relon punches the creature again, this time stopping at the edge of the water. Both sides look at one another. The Nomu's arm seeming to have stopped growing, everyone taking notice of this.
"I need more momentum. My blade was barely able to cut its neck."
Kanao, I got you covered. He says returning to 30% of Total Balanced extending his arm at the armless creature.
"Thank you, Shinn." She takes off with Relon launching cards as they fly next to the swordswoman.
The female survivor run side-by-side, Kanao sheathing her sword.
"It'll try to stomp me!" Kanao shouts which Relon nods as she pushes on as the creature charges before jumping.
No you don't! Relon sends a card up, expanding its size as it blocks the creatures view causing it to fall making a small crater. Now! He moves his fingers which Kanao turns around as he sets the cards as a platform as she jumps from one to the other higher and higher. The previous cards moving ahead as she jumps higher and higher.
Deku's eyes widen. It's just like with our training!
"Nomu! Discard that piece of paper already!" Kurogiri shouts.
Not happening! Relon sends more and more cards at the creature as they wrap around its body. Kanao lands at the top card as she can almost reach the USJ's ceiling.
Without hesitation, Kanao jumps off the card and with her feet touching the roof, she pushes off flying straight at the Nomu. It finally breaks off from the cards as it looks around for Kanao but only sees Relon. As she descend to her target, she places her hand on her sword closing her eyes. Remembering from when Shinn had freed everyone from the facility to learning swordsmanship from her adopted family to the League killing said family to her years of enslavement and torture to now. She opens her eyes, the pink-lilac color no more. In its place, pitch black eyes with white slits forming the outline of a butterfly's wing in both eyes. The right wing in her left and the left wing in her right. From her back, black wings resembling a butterfly appears. Her sword growing slightly longer, yet thicker as well. The Nomu looks up to see a blurred image.
"Malevolent Fatal Sword:...
In a single elegant motion, Kanao cuts deep into the nape as she pulls up flapping her wings away from the Nomu as she sets just above the ground next to Relon.
"Elegant Butterfly!"
It remains standing for a moment before falling to the ground motionless.
It's over... We won!
Game over... We lost...
"You two did it..." Aizawa says in disbelief coming over to them.
"NO! YOU CHEATER, SHINN! ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS KILL THE SYMBOL OF PEACE BUT NO! I COULDN'T HAVE THAT, NOW COULD I!? NOW I HAVE TO COME UP WITH A NEW PLAN!" Tomura shouts as Kurogiri expands his portal-like mist.
You're not going anywhere! Relon vanishes to reappear in between the two. As he brings his demonic fist at Tomura and his shining fist at Kurogiri but stop as they are both covered in a slime-like substance. Relon looks between the two as he goes for Kurogiri but he vanishes as does Tomura, seeming to leave no traces behind. Shinn looks around before vanishing outside to the roof as he looks around finding nothing. He falls to his knees as he bangs the floor in frustration. He appears back inside with Kanao and Aizawa, Kanao having reverted to normal as does Relon.
They got away...
Aizawa sighs in defeat as the group of three go and inspect the Nomu to find it alive but unresponsive. Relon wraps it in his cards.
"Our mission is now complete."
"Mission?" Aizawa questions.
She looks to Relon who nods as she turns to his teacher.
"Do not mind that. It is simply how I communicate."
"I see..." He responds slightly perturbed.
"Relon!"
"Lucinance! Aizawa sensei!"
The three turn to see the others running up to them. Kanao stepping away from Relon as too does Aizawa as Momo jumps at him. He anchors himself as the oncoming impact as she wraps her arms around the protagonists as the two spin a few times before coming to a stop as he lets her down.
"You really are something, you know that!?" She exclaims at him for the teen to nod nervously as she brings him into another embrace.
"Aizawa sensei, are you alright?" Sero asks.
"Yeah, once Lucinance joined the fight, things got easier. Kanao, correct. Thank you for helping us." She simply smiles bowing as she turns her attention back to the couple.
"Lucinance!" Everyone turns seeing Uraraka, Mina, and Thirteen.
Relon knows exactly why he's being calls as he lets go of Momo running over to the girls as they set the pro hero with his exposed back facing up. He wraps a card around the hero and after a few minutes, he releases the hero to see him good as new.
"You saved me. I am forever in your debt, hero." He thanks as Relon just waves it off.
CRASH.
Everyone jumps looking up as something crashes through the ceiling landing right on top of the Nomu. After the dust settles, they all step back as its a second Nomu. Kanao checks it.
"It's unresponsive."
"WE ARE FINALLY HERE, YOUNG HEROES!"
Everyone looks as they see heroes appear at the gate along with Iida and All Might.
"Now they show up." Aizawa says as everyone sweatdrops except Kanao who just looks on with a tilt of her head.
It didn't take long for the heroes to take care of and round up the remaining villains. Thankfully, everyone in Class 1-A made it out unscathed and can be found grouped up at the entrance.
"18, 19, 20, 21... Alright, everyone is accounted for." The detective says as he leaves to talk some police.
"Ojiro, I heard you were really fired up this time." Hagakure says placing a hand on his shoulder. "You were strong by yourself, huh?"
"I thought everyone was by themselves. I survived by using hit-and-run tactics. Where were you, Hagakure?"
"In the landslide area! Todoroki was super strong! I was surprised!" She points at the ice-user.
"Anyway, I'm glad you weren't hurt."
"Awe thanks, that means a lot coming from you."
Todoroki looks out the corner of his eye at the invisible girl.
I almost froze her... That was close.
"Where do you think I was?" Aoyama says aloud.
"I see, so the people you thought were also just hooligans?" Tokoyami surmises.
"Yeah, Lucinance saved me after I overused my quirk."
"They underestimated us 'cause we were kids." Kirishima punches his open palm.
"Where...?" Aoyama questions once again.
"So it was All Might who put the hole in the dome after all?" Sero says.
"He took out one creature while Lucinance took out the other. That's some crazy power they have. Especially Lucinance." Sato says.
"As expected of All Might but I knew Lucinance was strong just from the combat training but not that strong." Shoji adds.
"Where do you think I was?" Aoyama asks Tsuyu.
"It's a secret!" He says posing in a direction as Asui looks on confused.
"Let's have the students return to their classroom for now. we won't be questioning them right away, anyway right?" He says to an officer approaching the class.
"What about Midoriya?" Iida asks. "Is he alright?"
"Ribbit. When we were on the ship, he seemed to be controlling his power and when we jumped off, he fired a lot of power using his whole hand at the villains in the water. Ribbit." Tsuyu explains
"Hm? Oh don't worry. Your friend will be fine. Some rest and healing from Recovery Girl and he'll be good as new." The detective answers.
"Oh, good..." Uraraka says in relief as the others smile at the news.
"Now before you all go back, which one of you is Relon Lucinance?" They all shift their attention over past the detective as they look to see Momo sitting on the grass with her back leaning on the wall gazing at Relon sitting next to her, his head on her shoulder asleep and sitting next to him leaning her head on his shoulder is a sleeping Kanao as well.
"Ah... nevermind. After what they had to do, I don't blame them for resting. I'll stop by later with other officers for our questioning. By then he and the girl should have awoken. Sansa, I have some business to deal with in the nurse's office. I'll leave the rest to you."
"Yes sir!" The cat officer salutes as he watches the detective leave heading for Principal Nezu.
A cat? Uraraka thinks.
Not a dog, huh? Mina thinks.
Bakugou is off looking at Relon from afar. As they were all coming back together, he got word that Relon had taken out the monster that All Might had taken out, albeit with the help of other heroes while Relon only had Aizawa and Kanao.
"Tch..."
"Hey, Bakugou! We're heading back to the classroom!" Kirishima calls.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm coming hardass..."
"You should probably wake them up." Jirou suggests gaining a nod from Momo.
"Hey." She moves her shoulder a little as he stirs awake. "Time to get up."
Hey lets out a yawn as he looks to Kanao still sleeping.
"So who is she, exactly?" Momo asks. "You obviously know each other and seem pretty close." He looks at Kanao and then to the girls and then to the rest of the class as they too look on with curiosity. He twirls his finger as Momo then pulls out the card given to her this morning.
"I'll explain later... Just not right now..." She reads aloud looking worriedly at her boyfriend.
He nudges Kanao as she too stirs, covering her mouth as she lets out a small yawn. Everyone looks at the girl as she looks back to Class 1-A with a tilt of her head.
"Oh my god... You're an angel..." Mineta slowly approaches her.
She smiles at him.
"Farewell."
"Huh?" He responds.
"Farewell."
"An angel that is disgusted by me! Yes!"
"Farewell." Relon sighs nudging Kanao.
She looks to him with curiosity as he points to Mineta shaking his head.
"Really, Shinn?" She asks to gain a nod as she stands up walking over to the short boy.
"Yes, my angel. What do you desire?" He asks to then be picked up surprising everyone. "A kiss? I can do that!" He puckers his lips as she turns hip around kicking the teen as he soars colliding with the bus before sliding to the ground, all the class can see is the small boy give a thumbs up shakily.
"Oh he's fine." Jirou shrugs. "Nice punt." She compliments as Kanao smiles at the girl.
"Yeah, she's definitely related to Relon at least." Sero mentions as the guys all nod.
"Alright, everyone board the bus. We're heading back." Aizawa orders approaching the group as he looks between Relon and Kanao. "You'll be riding with us." She nods in acknowledgement.
Everyone lines up with Relon somehow ending up first on the bus.
"Hey YaoMomo, so who'll be sitting next to Lucinance?" Mina wonders aloud gaining everyone's attention.
Momo and Kanao both blink repeatedly as they look to one another. Relon having only taken one step on the bus before the question was heard.
Damn it, Mina, I'm too tired for this. He sighs. Everyone looks between the two awaiting something to happen. Kanao tilts her head as she looks to Relon, both looking at one another as if speaking telepathically. She then nods smiling softly at Relon as he places a hand over her head patting it. Relon turns board the bus followed by Kanao leaving everyone with confused looks.
"So did anyone get anything of what just happened?" Jirou questions as the class all nods.
"Not a clue but we'll find out, I suppose." Momo responds stepping onto the bus followed by Class 1-A.
She stops to look at Relon take a seat in the same spot as before and sees Kanao approach him before taking a seat in front of him.
"Huh. Guess that answers that question." Mina says as everyone takes a seat, Mina sitting next to Kanao.
He lets out another sigh as he gets comfortable in his seat. He looks ahead noticing Kanao resting against the window. He unwraps his scarf from around his neck, gaining Momo's attention. He moves it over the seat and drops it in Kanao's lap. Her and Mina look at before Kanao picks it up.
"Thank you, Shinn." She wraps it around like a cushion as she attempts to sleep once more, the whole class having watched this.
He sits back as Momo looks at him. He just spins a finger as she looks at the card.
'I know I have a lot of explaining to do. Could you and the others stop staring, please? you'll be doing that more later.' Momo looks back as Relon takes her hand in his as he rests his head on her shoulder as he slowly falls asleep. She looks at the others as they look on before shaking her head as they all seem to understand talking to one another about earlier. Momo looks to Relon, worry obvious.
Relon...
Head straight for Gym Gamma. That's where Aizawa sensei said for Kanao and I to go while he took the rest of the class somewhere else. Those looks everyone had... He looks to Kanao beside him as they head to their destination. He said it was this way. They reach the building and head inside. They both stop seeing the building is a completely empty room.
"About time someone showed up." The two look to their left to see Nunu in the U.A. uniform leaning against the wall. "But why is it you, Shinn?" He looks to his brother to then take note of Kanao.
The two look at one another before Nunu is the first to speak.
"The hell did I miss?" He asks getting off the wall facing the two.
"A good amount." Kanao answers.
"I can guess that considering we have another survivor with us now. What the hell, Shinn? Are you some type of magnet that attracts the others or something?" Nunu questions crossing his arms as Relon just shakes his head with a shrug.
Nunu sighs as he looks at Kanao.
"So which one are you?" He steps forward raising his left arm as his sleeve lowers revealing his DNA bracelet. "I'm Crono, but I go by Nunu." He states for Kanao to mirror the action.
"Insight, but I am referred to as Kanao." They both lower their hands as.
"So what the hell happened, exactly?" He asks again.
The two fill in their fellow survivor as the three are now seated on the other end of the gym in a triangle.
"Damn it!" Nunu hits the ground. "What the hell!?" Relon looks down as Kanao looks at Nunu, the boy releasing a large sigh. "Why now...? Why start all of this now?"
"I don't know." Kanao responds. "There is much I do not know myself." They both then look to Relon.
"So that detective you mentioned earlier is coming here to probably ask questions. Especially about you, Insight. As well as everything about us. So what are we going to do, Shinn?"
Relon inhales and exhales as he looks to Kanao tilting his head. After a moment, she nods with a smile.
"Very well, I'm more than happy to assist you, Shinn."
"Pause, time out, roll that back a second." Nunu says forming a 'T' with his hands. "You can understand what Shinn is saying just by looking at him?" She nods.
"We spent an abundance of time together in the facility so it has become quite natural to read his emotions and facial feature to determine what he trying to say."
"Ah... Okay then."
Just let it go. Nunu sighs.
"So what's the plan?" He asks but before Kanao can respond, the doors open revealing the detective followed by All Might, then Principal Nezu amd Recovery Girl, then Aizawa,Vlad, Midnight, Cementoss, and then all of Class 1-A.
Shit... The three survivors stands next to one another with Relon in the middle.
"I thought only the detective was going to do the questioning." Nunu mutters.
"It would seem that isn't the case now." Kanao responds.
"They brought All Might so what's the deal? They trying to make sure we don't escape or something? We can easily take out everyone here." Nunu says as the newcomers approach them. "You saw this coming, Shinn?" Relon nods. "Alright then, let's see how this goes." He rolls his eyes looking ahead. "Insight." He warns gaining a nod from the girl.
Relon looks at everyone. The heroes up front with the detective and his class behind them. He spots Momo with Jirou and Mina and then Midoriya with Uraraka and Iida. He turns his attention to the detective as he approaches the three as Nunu and Kanao both step forward slightly in front of Relon causing the detective to stop looking in surprise and he chuckles.
"Calm down." He waves. "Originally, I was going to ask my questions alone with Principal Nezu but the other heroes as well as your classmates insisted they ask so I shall ask any remaining one after." He steps back as Nezu then walks up to the three, Relon placing a hand in both their shoulders as they relax themselves now at ease. The three bend down as Nezu stops waves his hand for him to come closer.
"Thank you for your hard work, you two. You have mine as well as everyone apart of U.A.'s gratitude." He begins. "Lucinance, I know there is much you wish not to discuss about yourselves or your pasts but the beet I can suggest is answer any questions the best way you can." The three nod as Nezu does a small bow before walking back.
"Alright." The detective begins. "Let the questioning begin." He announces pressing his pen in his small notebook for Nunu to step forward.
"Before y'all start bombarding us with questions just know one thing. Don't expect us to answer anything straightforward. There's this thing called trust which no one here has earned. It's nothing personal." He steps back.
The detective and Nezu both nod at this as the class of 1-A looks at one another.
"Who wants to go first?" Nezu asks for Aizawa to step up.
"I have some questions I need answers for and I believe Lucinance can help with that." He states as Kanao steps up.
"I shall be answering in place of Shinn. Whatever you have to ask I shall answer for him." Aizawa raises an eyebrow before nodding.
"Fine then. To start off, I've notice Nunu refer to him as this 'Shinn' and just now, you as well. What is the meaning behind it?"
"Getting right to the important stuff, huh?" Nunu mutters.
"Shinn." She looks once more as he nods to then look at Nunu who nods as well. "Very well. Shinn is both a codename as well as a status."
"Explain." Aizawa orders.
"To simplify things, I am Insight, the Overseer. The one you call Nunu is Crono, the Distortionist. Finally, there is the one you call Relon. He is Shinn, our Leader."
"Leader?"
"Yes. He is the leader of those that have survived as well as our savior."
"That explains why the two of you are positioned so defensively in front of him. Savior. What do you mean by that?"
Relon clenches his fist as he looks at the ground. Both Kanao and Nunu look at their leader, uncomfort on all their faces. Momo notices this, her worry growing. Kanao looks ahead to Nunu as they both nod.
"When I say leader, I refer to Shinn being the leader of the other survivors. Crono and myself included among them with Shinn being the strongest of us all. I refer to him as our savior because he is the one... who saved us from the facility." The three's fists clenched tightly.
"What is this facility?" Midnight asks.
The three remain silent, Kanao stepping back as she places a hand on Relon comforting him as Nunu steps up.
"The facility, or what I call 'Hell's Death,' is a place far off on a remote island where experimentations were conducted on children at the ages of seven. A place the government funded!" He hisses as the class goes wide eyed. "Just talking about that hell of a place... really pisses me the hell off!" He shouts causing the everyone to shutter as the heroes begin to get into a stance. "Oh? I thought we were just talking? If you guys want to go, then..." Black markings begin to cover the left side of his face as he blinks revealing pitch black eyes and with a white circle in both eyes. "I'm more than happy to let you guys help me relieve some steam. Hearing what happened got me quite pissed, you see." He cracks his knuckles. "I've been meaning to see how strong you are Vlad sensei." He says releasing killing intent all throughout the building as everyone steps back.
"Tch, seems we're about to find out then." Vlad responds.
"Class 1-A, stay back!" Aizawa shouts.
"I'll create a barrier between us and the students! Midnight, get ready!" Cementoss says.
"I'm on it!" Midnight responds preparing to tear off a piece of her clothing.
Class 1-A looks between the two parties.
"Wait, they're not actually going to fight are they!?" Mineta cries out.
Midoriya looks between All Might and Relon.
This isn't really happening, right!?
This pressure! It's insane! Bakugou looks at Nunu and then to Relon. And they say he's the strongest!?
Relon!
"WAIT!" All Might appears in front of the heroes a hand to them looking at the three survivors as Relon appears in front of Nunu his hand to his brother as he looks to the others. This
"Like Tsukauchi said, we aren't here for violence. There was enough of that earlier." He turns to Relon. "Correct?"
Relon nods at the number one hero as he looks to Nunu shaking his head.
"Hmpf. I wasn't going to do anything unless they did." Relon nods as he walks past the two standing back in his place.
"I swear, these generations nowadays are much too quick to the trigger." Recovery Girl complains. "They're still kids for Pete's sake!" She taps her cane against the floor.
"Kids that if we're not careful can kill us." Vlad mutters.
"We were taken to that hellhole when we were seven and we didn't escape until we were nine. We all are 16 hence that being seven years ago. Of course, after escaping, the government was more than happy to help us out with financial need and anything else as long as we kept quiet about the place. There wasn't a problem as we didn't ever want or plan to bring it up ever again. That is all we'll say on that topic."
Momo widens as she remembers the date with Relon to the bank. So that's it. Relon looks to Kanao who nods.
"Yaoyorozu." She calls out stepping forward gaining everyone's attention. "On your date with Shinn, his mentioning of knowing stocks was true albeit not the whole truth. That is all Shinn wants to say." She steps back.
Momo look to Relon who nods affirming what was said. I can't be mad at something like that. Not with knowing the reason behind it now. She nods back giving a reassuring smile.
Aizawa speaks once more.
"Very well. My next question." He points at Nunu. "Explain that form." Then to Relon. "As well as what you used to heal me. In your data, it is addressed that you have a good and evil form."
"You know pointing isn't very nice. But..." Nunu glances to Kanao who nods stepping forward as she closes her eyes.
Markings appear on her left side as she opens her eyes to reveal pitch black with white slits in the outline of a butterfly's wing; one in each eye.
"This form is what we call Malevolence Form." Kanao states, her voice slightly different.
"Malevolence..." All Might begins.
"Form?" Deku finishes taking in the sight along with the rest.
"It is a very powerful yet dangerous power." Nunu says.
"Seems like quite the useful quirk in a fight." Aizawa states.
"That's because it is not a quirk." Kanao responds causing everyone to look in wonder.
"I use the term "power" carefully." Nunu begins.
"Having seen the fight between Shinn and Tomura, I am to guess that your quirk allows you to erase other quirks temporarily, correct?" Kanao wonders.
"Yes, that's right." Aizawa answers.
She could tell just from one instance of it happening as well as from the distance we were when they were fighting? Either she's that perceptive or that's thanks to her quirk.
"Well that doesn't work with our Malevolence Form. No quirks do hence why I say this is a power, not a quirk." Nunu states walking up. "If you don't believe me, then by all means, hit me with any quirks you got. I'd say long-range to keep everyone safe."
The adults look at one another as Aizawa uses his quirk but is suddenly knocked back by an invisible force.
"Eraser Head! Are you alright!?" Vlad asks helping him up.
"Y-yeah, just got pushed off my feet and now have a terrible headache."
"Told you so." Nunu says stepping back.
"There's still the matter of Lucinance's good form." Vlad calls out.
Relon steps past the two as he closes his eyes, circuit-like markings appearing on his right half of his body as his hand begins to shine a faint light. He opens his eyes to reveal them now pure white. White gales of wind softly blow around the room as everyone take in the sight of their classmate.
This feeling, it's the same as earlier. Deku thinks.
"That is the form he deems his Eramsus Mode." Kanao answers. "Unlike our evil forms, Shinn's is a more passive as it not only makes himself stronger like Malevolence Form, but he gains other abilities as well."
"Such as?" Recovery Girl asks.
"It's most notable and most often used ability. It can heal anyone of any ailment or injury."
"Wait any kind!?" Kirishima yells out.
"Hm. As I thought." The elderly hero says.
"We shouldn't be surprised since we saw what he did to Aizawa sensei and Thirteen, huh?" Mina comments gaining a nod from the brunette.
"Wait, what about you two?" Aizawa asks now fine.
"It is impossible for us to have that power as it was acquired by Shinn. In a sense, you can say it is the Malevolence Form's counterpart. Similarly, it too is unaffected by quirks." Kanao answers.
Acquired? Deku thinks.
"What about your Malevolence Form? What abilities does it hold?" Vlad asks as Relon returns to normal backing behind the two.
"Those are things you may not want to know. I wish I didn't still." Nunu comments.
"Why do you say that?" Cementoss questions.
"Simple." Before anyone can process it, Nunu materializes his blade before cutting off his hand.
Gasps and screams along with looks of horror from everyone including All Might look at the bloodied hand now laying on the floor with blood. Everyone watches as the blood stops dripping from Nunu as his missing hand starts to reform itself.
"One of these abilities is that we can't lose body parts and further more can't kill ourselves. Take it how you want when we say that we ALL have tried."
"Wait... When you say 'ALL'..." Momo mutters quivering looking at Relon, disbelief in her eyes as he looks away.
"Yes. All of us. Including Shinn. He was the first to attempt it. That is how we soon found out."
"Relon... no..." She croaks tears forming
"Lucinance, ho-
"DON'T ASK THAT QUESTION!" Kanao shouts, anger in her black eyes.
Everyone steps back as they notice Relon trembling as he breathes heavily. He raises his hand.
"What is he-
SMACK.
The sound echoes in the gym as Relon hits himself, having calmed down as he looks forward.
"That is one of the few questions no one shall ask." Kanao states.
The heroes look on as Aizawa slowly nods along with the rest.
"My next question. Care to explain your sudden spurting of appendages?" Aizawa adds.
Nunu and Kanao look to Relon who seems empty inside as he just nods once breathing to himself as he calms his state of mind. They look to one another before Nunu steps back reverting as Relon and Kanao step forward side-by-side. They both close their eyes once more before wind of black and white begins swirling around Relon and just black around Kanao. When it fades, Kanao is now hovering off the ground with the manifested wings as Relon remains on the ground. His right hand shining brighter than a moment ago and his left hand taking on the giant red and black demonic hand. Relon's eyes now becoming pitch black with with slits as his mouth seems to disappear as marking cover its place.
"This is what happens once we achieve 50% of Malevolence Form. We gain a sort of appendage or a part of our body changes." Kanao answers.
"What about Nunu?" Vlad asks looking at his student.
"I still haven't gained 50% of my power yet. I can only go up to 40%." The dark skinned teen answers.
"Both forms have other abilities but we shall skip that for now." Kanao says.
"So you use your Eramsus Mode to heal others, don't you Lucinance?" Aizawa questions as Relon nods. "I see. My next question." With that the two revert back to normal. "Explain those bracelets of yours, if you don't mind."
Kanao and Nunu raise their bracelets as their weapons appear in its place.
"Simple. These bracelets hold our weapons we were given from back then. Only downside is we can't take them off. The Malevolence Form won't let us even if we try to cut the whole arm off. They tend to alter when we use our forms." Nunu answers.
"What about Lucinance? Where is his?" Aizawa asks. Everyone looks to Relon including Nunu and Kanao.
"No comment." Both Kanao and Nunu say, their weapons disappearing as their bracelets reform on their wrists.
"Fine. What are those weapons made from?"
"Necrolite." Nunu answers.
"Never heard of it."
"Of course you haven't. It was created back on that hell of an island. No other place in the world has it nor knows how to make it." He says.
"Until now, Crono." Kanao speaks up causing Nunu to stare at her.
"What are you talking about?"
"That creature identified as a 'Nomu' was made from Necrolite. Somehow the League of Villains has found a way to engineer that element and placed it in that creature."
"Shit..."
"What's the problem?" Vlad questions.
"Necrolite is the most powerful element to be created with the usage of quirks. It's basically indestructible and only three things can break it. Those being more Necrolite, a VERY powerful quirk, and our Malevolence Forms." Nunu finishes. "If those shitheads really have found a way to replicate it, then we are in deep shit."
"Why not just give us a sample so we will have the means to fight back?" Vlad wonders.
"One, trust. Two, Shinn and the rest of us understood that if the world found out and got their hands on this element. The whole world would not only evolve at a fastened pace, but every fight, every war, would be bloodier than ever before. Wars would never end! Even if everyone agreed to stop fighting, that doesn't mean its usage wouldn't come to a halt, people would take advantage of it and bring world development to a new height. It would only be a matter of time until someone take advantage of such a thing." Nunu explains. "Which is why we destroyed all the research covering it. Or so we thought." Aizawa and the rest look on taking in that large piece of information.
"How many survivors do you know of?" Aizawa slowly asks.
"No comment." They both say again causing the teacher to look on annoyed as the others look in wonder.
"The only reason we say that is because after today, there are things the three of us must confirm before we can speak about the others." Nunu says.
"My last question for now." Aizawa starts.
"Is?" Nunu asks.
"Tell me... why Lucinance won't talk." He asks, the question hitting Relon harder than Nomu from earlier.
Both Kanao and Nunu widen as they glare at the teacher. They then glance to see Relon looking up at the ceiling breathing heavily, a hand clutching his chest where his heart is as memories begin hitting him one after another before stopping.
So this is what it'll be like. My judgement. This feeling. It's so heavy. I can't take it. It's so much worse than the entity's temptations. I still can't handle that question
He looks forward panting.
"That is a question we would like to refrain from being asked." Kanao says.
Both sides look to one another before Aizawa nods bowing.
"Thank you for answering my questions and thank you for your help once again. That is all for now." Aizawa. says as the adults begin conversing as Class 1-A looks at the three.
"It felt like we were on trial." Nunu comments as the other two nods.
"Shinn, forgive me. I should have Perceived what he was going to say." She look down in shame.
"My bad, too. I should have know with how he paused that sentence." Nunu apologizes.
Relon puts a hand on Kanao's head rubbing it as he extends his fist for Nunu.
They both look at him to see him giving a tired smile, but still a smile nonetheless.
They both nod as Nunu fist bumps his brother as the three then hear footsteps to look ahead seeing Class 1-A stand side-by-side away from then, the adults now the ones in the back.
"Damn, it's almost over." Nunu mutters. "Alright, who wants to ask the first question." He calls out as EVERYONE raises their hand even Bakugou.
Nunu facepalms as everyone looks at him.
"Fu- ahhhh... We might as well sit down for this." He plops on the ground as everyone follows suit, some sitting properly on their knees like Momo and Kanao while most of the others sat relaxing like Nunu, Relon, and Bakugou.
"We will answer starting from left to right. You each get one question or you can follow up from a previous one so make it count. Go." Everyone looks to Aoyama.
"To the young lady. Who exactly are you?"
"My codename is Insight but Shinn named me Kanao so that is what you all may address as."
"Lucinance named you?" Mina asks for Kanao to nod.
"Why do that? Ribbit. What about your real names?"
"Gone." Nunu answers. "We had our memories wiped clean. Can't remember our past or anything. Only survivor to remember their past life is Shinn."
"Is it due to him being the leader?" Iida asks.
"No. The reason is unknown but many believed it to be due to either Eramsus Mode or his quirk. Shinn was the first and only survivor to gain that power naturally."
Naturally? Midoriya thinks.
"What do you mean by naturally?" Ochako asks.
"Many children were taken away. Some believing they were going to a place of fun. Others that were homeless were picked up from the streets. One's blood had to have a compatibility of 95% or higher for them to survive being injected with Malevolence Form. If not, then..." Kanao ends.
"You don't mean..." Iida begins to gain nods from the three, the class growing silent as Momo looks to Relon.
"What about Eramsus Mode?" Ojiro asks nervously.
"Eramsus Mode is unique as only Shinn has the ability. As our evil forms are parasites living within us, his holy form is a defect of that parasite. A sort of cure you could say. Both disliking the other as they share the host's body." Everyone looks to Relon.
"Why were you guys given these forms anyway and why call it holy?" Kaminari questions.
"For war." Nunu says catching everyone off guard as well as the adults.
"What do you mean war?" All Might asks walking up and standing behind.
"Against humanity." Kanao answers, a neutral expression on her face as is Nunu's and Relon's.
"WHAT!?" Everyone shouts.
"It's not far-fetched. Trained killers that are unaffected by quirks with weapons made of special alloys that are indestructible. You all can thank Shinn for stopping that though. Not that any of us wanted to do something like that. He basically saved the world, just saying." Nunu says nonchalantly.
Young Lucinance, just what have you been through? Al Might backs away to the other adults.
"As for why; two reasons. Our forms are a representation of evil which we are trying to use for good. Shinn here has a form that while can be used to fight and trust me, you see it past 50%, you'll shit yourselves, its power, abilities, and raw sensation represent that of good, like an angel of sorts with Malevolence Form being that of a demon." He continues.
"Well, uh, you guys mentioned statuses, right? Could you explain that some more?" Kirishima asks.
"Very well. We each hold a status as mentioned earlier. What I refer to is within our group of survivors. We each have a role we were trained for if we ever went to war." Kanao begins. "Our roles are based on our quirks. I am the reconnaissance while Crono is our means of transportation."
Everyone then looks to Kouda who starts sweating nervously as he pokes his index fingers.
"Yes, Shinn and I are close because he was the first to befriend me after my memories were wiped." Kanao.
"What? So now you can tell what any 'mute' person is saying?" Nunu asks rolling his eyes.
"Call it a gift. All thanks to Shinn." She smiles at said person who smiles back.
"How did you two meet?" Sato asks.
Kanao and Relon look at one another as Relon nods.
"Shinn had just acquired Eramsus Mode and was delivered to my group. I had just lost my memory of my past with my codename being the only recollection. He befriended me and we remained close until we were freed."
"What do you mean he was delivered?" Shoji asks.
"In the facility, after you passed the injection of that dark power, your memories are wiped and you are then put into one of two groups. Group Alpha and Omega. There you remained with your team. No interaction with the other inhabitants on that island. Kanao was in Alpha while I was in Omega. Today was actually the first time we've met. Regardless, Relon being deemed our leader was the only one of two to go between the two groups." Nunu explains.
"I know you said you wouldn't talk about the number of survivors but who was the other to go between the two groups?" Jirou asks causing the group of three to look at her.
"That person was the leader of Group Omega as Shinn was tasked to lead Group Alpha when the time came." Nunu begins. "That person, who was apart of my group..."
"Was Kanan." Kanao finishes. "We will not discuss her in further detail."
Everyone is taken aback by that sudden statement before moving on.
Kanan...
"So if you had to rank yourselves here, how would it go?" Sero asks.
"Shinn first, Kanao second, amd myself third. If we include Kanan then she would take second place but we lost communication when we all escaped the facility. A big factor is the percentage you can maintain Malevolence Form." Nunu explains further on.
"Lucinance, concerning your Malevolence Form, just how much can you use? I recall Kanao and yourself going to 50%." Tokoyami says.
"He can use up to 80% of his Malevolence Form and 100% of Eramsus Mode." Nunu answers.
"While I am capable of 50%." Kanao mentions.
"Why not 100%? I would think the leader would be capable of such a thing, would he?" Todoroki wonders.
"If only such a thing was that easy. The Malevolence Form has many abilities as stated earlier. One of those is once you reach 50%, its entity appears and starts being an annoying ass according to Shinn. Gives a stupid headache, warns of other survivors with Malevolence Forms nearby as they can sense each other or simply comes to when their host is in danger." Nunu says.
"That seems helpful, isn't it?" Hagakure questions.
"Normally, yes. Unless you take into account its constant temptations at taking the mind over." Kanao adds. "My entity was warning me before I was brought with the League to the USJ but silenced itself once I arrived. As for reaching 100% of Malevolence Form, its strain on the human body and mind is too dangerous. Shinn has done this twice and almost died had it not been for Eramsus Mode.
"That explains Lucinance hunched over when we arrived." Jirou comments as Relon nods.
Everyone looks at Bakugou as he glares at the three. His eyes landing on Nunu.
"Tell me something. Why the hell does your so called 'leader' refuse to speak for himself. I thought you hated that shit so why the sudden obedience? What are you, his servant now?"
Another barrage of memories hits Relon as he clutches his head as Kanao and Nunu glare at the spiked blonde, a single twitch escaping Nunu's face.
"Hey BakuBro! Calm down, would ya!?" Kirishima says.
"What's got you so upset?" Kaminari questions.
Bakugou stands pointing at Relon.
That bastard as well as him!" He growls pointing from Relon to Nunu.
"Heh." Kanao and Relon look at Nunu. "What's wrong BakaHoe? You jealous that you're seeing how inferior you are in strength?" Nunu taunts as Bakugou's hands begin crackling.
"THE FUCK YOU SAY YOU DAMN HYPOCRITE!?" He launches himself. "I'LL TAKE BOTH YOU AND THAT LOSER OF A LEADER OUT RIGHT NOW!" He sends his right hand in front, Relon and Kanao looking at the incoming attack as the class and adults look on in shock.
In an instant Nunu appears in front of Relon a hand glowing.
"Full Counter." He mutters, a glare noticeable only by Bakugou as both hands, Nunu's glowing faintly, collide as an explosion erupts in Bakugou's face as he zooms past the sitting class 1-A as he skids across the floor coming to a stop as he lays there, his body trying to move.
"Anyone that threatens Shinn will answer to me." He begins walking to the downed body. "To answer your question, BakaHoe, I didn't realize who Shinn was until we fought again on the roof. That is why I am acting the way I am." He stops standing overtop Bakugou. "It would do an idiot like you some good not to underestimate your opponent, especially us survivors." He turns and walks back. "Speaking of which. 'Survivors.' That just feels plain. Can we change that to something more meaningful?" He wonders taking a seat beside Relon once more.
"What would you have in mind?" Kanao questions.
Everyone still shocked from the one-sided skirmish looks in further disbelief at the nonchalant attitude Nunu is showing. He thinks for a moment before it comes.
"How about remnants?" Both Kanao and Relon look on giving quizzical expressions before nodding.
"Very well, usage of 'survivor' shall be no more." Kanao states.
"They seem to be acting like themselves already." Mina chuckles nervously as she looks back at the downed Bakugou being checked by Recovery Girl.
The class all nods.
Everyone returns their attention to the next one to ask their question; Midoriya. Both protagonists look at one another.
I already know what he's going to ask. It was only a matter of time.
"My question is for Lucinance. During your fight with the one known as Tomura, you seemed to know one another. And during your fight, you... spoke." The class except for Momo look in more bewilderment at Midoriya. "At least, it seemed like you were the one talking as the voice was one I've never heard." Everyone looks to Relon as he keeps a neutral expression.
"I shall explain." Kanao calls gaining the group's attention. "To silence his entity while maintaining its power, Shinn uses his holy form. As of recently, he has begun using both his Malevolence Form and Eramsus Mode simultaneously. As you have heard, our voices alter with the change in forms and Shinn's is no different. The voice he would sound like Malevolence Form and Eramsus Mode mix into what you heard. As you saw when Shinn transformed, his mouth seems to disappear resulting in the ability to use telepathy." Kanao explains.
"As for your first comment..." Nunu picks up. "All I'll say is we've crossed paths when we were at Hell's Death." Nunu quickly finishes.
"Lucinance and that hand guy really seemed to hate each other. They both were yelling it sounded like he was actually talking." Mineta mentions nervously. "But that doesn't explain why Lucinance can use teleportation." Class 1-A along with the adults look at the three for an answer.
Relon gets another small barrage in head as he looks to Nunu who keeps forward.
"Look, things happened. That's why he doesn't talk. Personally I find it frustrating and annoying but I still understand his reasoning for doing so. Even if it pisses me off to the point of knocking on his door and attempting to beat some sense into him." Everyone gasps at this.
"You fought Shinn again? What was the outcome?" Kanao wonders in a plain tone.
"Oh, I got served on a platter. Even with both of us using Malevolence Form, he simply was too much for me." Nunu says with a shrug.
"Well it was unwise to fight Shinn knowing what he's capable of." She says jokingly smiling for the first time.
"Oh shut it, Insight. I don't need your... well insight!" He barks rubbing his head. "Anyway... to keep things simple, his teleportation is due to his forms most likely. Right?" Relon nods. "And finally we have one." He and everyone looks to the last student at the end. "I'm sure you have a lot to ask your boyfriend don't you, Yaoyorozu?" He wonders.
"Wait, how did you know they were together?" Jirou questions.
"Simple. I was there when Shinn asked her out last night." Class 1-A's eyes widen as they look to Momo for confirmation as she silently nods.
Relon looks to Momo as she does to him. Kanao looks to Relon as does Nunu. The class looks between Momo and the three remnants. After a moment, Relon stands nodding to Momo who also nods back to then stand followed by Kanao and Nunu and then Class 1-A.
"Uh, why are we all standing? Yaoyorozu hasn't asked her question yet." Kaminari asks.
"That's obvious isn't it. She doesn't have one to ask or rather she won't ask it here." Nunu says.
Everyone looks to the girl, her sight remaining on Relon.
"Very well. All questioning has been completed." Kanao speaks.
"Well then. Everyone, you all may go now." Principal Nezu says as the heroes walk up behind the class.
"Wait, what? Why?" Mina questions.
"The questions I have relate to the League of Villains and even though you all are directly related, the less ears that hear this, the safer off you all will be." Detective Tsukauchi explains.
"But...!" Deku begins to not find the words to continue as he and everyone looks down.
All Might places a hand on Midoriya.
"Young Midoriya, fear not. We must do what we have to in order to maintain this peace." The number one hero explains to eventually gain a nod of understanding from his successor.
Aizawa and Vlad escort the class with everyone looking back at Relon. His smiles softly as he glances to Momo and then Deku before they are gone. All that are left in the room are the three remnants, Nezu, All Might, and Recovery Girl.
The three walk up to the eight as they form a circle.
"Well done in answer each question you three. I can only imagine the strain it has taken." Nezu speaks first to gain a nod from each.
"Now then, I have some questions for you, Kanao, if you don't mind concerning the League." The detective question pressing his pen in his small notebook.
Kanao looks to Shinn who nods.
"Very well. I shall answer any questions you have but Shinn has something to say to you All Might." Kanao states.
"What would that be?"
Relon steps up as Kanao speaks pointing at the hero.
"All for One is active once more. Also what is your limit on that body of yours?"
"My head is killing me. Never. Never again do I want to answer so many damn questions!" Nunu complains as the three can now be seen walking out of U.A. "Man, I was really hoping to go at it with Vlad sensei though." Relon rolls his eyes as Kanao lets out a chuckle. "What are you laughing at, Insight?"
Relon smiles at the two as he looks at Kanao.
Nunu is the same as he was back then but you've changed Kanao. Even though you act silent and monotone around everyone like a samurai or something, when Nunu and I are involved, your real self shows. I noticed that throughout our "interrogation." There were instances where it showed. When your memory was wiped, you acted like an obedient servant. As time went on, Kanan and I brought you out of that shell and the real you started to show emotions again.
He looks up as they now stand outside, night time apparent as stars fill the night.
Kanan... I hope you're safe out there. Everything is happening so fast. First Nunu and now Kanao. It's like some force is pulling us all together.
"Beautiful..." Kanao says looking at the stars.
"Yeah, it is." Nunu stretches. "It's late so we should head home. Until everything is settled, you'll be staying with me, Insight. I'd say Shinn's place but uh..." He cuts his eyes as the two follow where he's looking to see Momo leaning against the gate. "Shinn has some things he has to take care of." The three approach Momo as she notices them to stand off of the gate.
They all look between the two as Momo suddenly bows to Kanao.
"Thank you for helping Relon and saving us!"
Nunu raises an eyebrow as he looks to Kanao who looks at the girl and them Relon who nods.
"Think nothing of it." She begins as Momo raises herself at the words. "It was both my duty and my own accord to protect and assist Shinn. You would have done the same had your friend not stopped you, correct?" Kanao speaks as Momo's eyes widen to nod dumbfoundedly. "Then you have no need to thank me." She looks at her attire. "I should thank you for being able to create my attire in such a pace. I shall return it once I have acquired more clothing." Kanao bows.
"Oh, no! Keep it! It was made for you after all." Momo waves her hands from the compliment as Kanao raises herself.
"Very well." She turns to Relon who tilts his head as Kanao walks up embracing him in a hug to which he returns. "I am home, Shinn." She says softly as Relon nods rubbing her head before they let go of one another.
"First things first, let's grab a bite to eat. I'm starving! Then we can do some clothes shopping for you, Insight."
"Very well. What shall you do, Shinn?" She asks as he steps from them next to Momo as his girlfriend looks surprised by this. "I see. Goodnight then."
"Night y'all. Don't do anything you might regret!" The couple watches as the two remnants depart until they are out of sight.
Relon turns to Momo who seems to be in thought. He taps her shoulder breaking the girl from her thoughts. She realizes they're alone as Relon motions for leaving. She manages a nod as they walk through the night side side by side, not uttering a single word. Momo glances at his hand as she shakes her head looking back up. Half an hour goes by and they reach her home where they both stop to look at one another, the gate's streetlamp making one another visible. Momo opens her mouth to say something but no sounds can be heard. A look of frustration visible. Relon turns as he begins walking away.
"Luc- Relon, wait!" He stops bringing a finger up to spin it in a circle.
She immediately pulls out the card to read it.
'Do you regret it?' Her eyes remain on the card as her hand shakes.
The same thing from this morning that you asked me. Now its your turn, Yao-
THUD.
A force hits Relon from behind as he stumbles nearly falling over. He looks over his shoulder to see Momo, her face buried in his back.
"HOW...! HOW CAN I REGRET FALLING FOR SOMEONE SO KIND TO HAVE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH!? His back begins to soak from her tears. "YOU LOST YOUR CHILDHOOD! TAKEN TO SOME FACILITY WHERE YOU AND THE OTHERS WERE SOMEONE'S LAB EXPERIMENTS. YOUR LIVES IN THEIR HANDS! YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE ABLE TO PROTECT US WITH AIZAWA SENSEI! I WAS SO FRUSTRATED! YOU WERE FIGHTING PROTECTING ME ONCE AGAIN... I couldn't do anything but look on praying you would be alright... When you came back with the others, I wanted to hold you and never let go... but before I could, you were gone once again. Hearing everything Kanao and Nunu said, I don't know what to say or do..." He turns around and pulls her close, she presses her hands against her chest.
A minute passes and she leans off from his rubbing her eyes.
"Wait here for a moment." She leaves.
Minutes pass and he sees her carrying a backpack. She closes the gate behind her.
"I don't know what to do so I'm going to try to do what I am able to do. This feeling of confusion and frustration..." She turns facing him. "I hate it."
She reaches for his hand taking it in hers.
"Now I'm ready. You know where we're going, right?"
Momo...
He nods slowly. The two leave the mansion's premises and walk into the night. Another 30 minutes pass and they arrive at an apartment complex. Up a small flight of stairs, they stop in front of a door. Relon pulls out the key inserting it as he unlocks the door to see a familiar setting; his home. The couple enters as he throws his bags on one of the couches as Momo does the same but setting the down properly as he heads straight for his room. He stops in front of his door and after glancing at Momo, he opens it walking inside and plopping himself on the bed. Momo looks around at the bedroom. Aside from the bedding, a desk, some shelves and drawers, and a closet. Tan walls and ceiling with a carpet floor. She sees Relon exhaling deep heavy breathes before sitting himself back up. She sets the bag down at the foot of the bed as she takes a seat on the soft bed, the softness feeling as if she's on a cloud. She refocuses on Relon who rests his head on his usual spot.
"Feeling better?" She asks knowing the answer to get it from Relon. "Do you want to shower first or should I?" He automatically stands up stretching as he points to himself as he grabs some clothing from a drawer before leaving.
Momo can not help but chuckle. He's still him even after today. She notices something on a dresser next to his bed. She turns to see a picture frame. She scoots closer picking it up. It shows Relon alongside Aura and his mother at the beach's shore. This must be his family. Now that I think about it, he's never mentioned them before.
"Gone. We had our memories wiped clean. Can't remember our past or anything. Only survivor to remember their past life is Shinn."
Is this photo all he has left of them? He looks just like his mother. She's so beautiful. His sister is so pretty. She looks so carefree. Wait, where is his father? Maybe they divorced. She looks at the photo more. He looks so young here. The remnants mentioned being taken at the age of seven but that's the age he looks in this photo. The door opens as she puts the photo back. She turns to Relon blinking at her as he glances from her to the photo. he blinks once. Then twice. Then thrice. Then many before stopping.
Oh...
"Your family seems wonderful." Momo comments as Relon blinks hard before looking in confusion with a tilt of his head as he quickly recovers from his stupor handing her a towel and bath cloth.
He spins his finger as two words appear on door.
"Thank you." She smiles for the first time in a while today as Relon steps out of the way returning the expression that he has missed seeing to her. "I'll be in and out." Relon shakes his head twirling his finger. "Take your time..." She smiles. "Thanks." She opens the door but stops. "H-hey, we're... still, you know...?" She averts her eyes as Relon chuckles nodding. "Silly question, I know. Thanks again... Relon." She closes the door as the sound of the bathroom door can be hear opening and then closing.
Relon takes a seat on his bed as he glances at his family photo. He picks it up looking at it.
Mom... Aura... The past is coming back sooner than I expected. Kanao is back. I'm both happy and nervous. Happy to have my little sister back, but scared with what is to come. The villains are active and Tomura is a part of this League. I had to use both powers to protect everyone and I did it! I still can't forgive myself but slowly, I'm getting there. It just took a lot of talking to for it to get the idea through my head. Please forgive me you two...
He looks at the photo and notices something about Momo's backpack. He looks at it and his eyes bulge. Momo left her backpack open and clear to see is her bra and underwear on top of her other clothes.
Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Calm down! Momo left it open and if I close it she'll know I messed with it. But wait, if I don't she'll see it when she comes back. Maybe she'll realize she left it open. I mean there shouldn't be a problem, she says its fine looking at her like that so her underwear shouldn't be a problem. He gazes at the soft fabric.
...
...
I did not think this idea of her staying the night with me all the way through. He sighs in defeat as he lays on the bed looking at the ceiling as he thinks of many things to get his mind off of that sight. Minutes pass as he thinks about today.
"Um, Relon?" Momo calls.
He gets up and walks in front of the door with a wondrous look as he taps on the door.
"I left my bag in your room. Could you hand it to me?" His eyes widen at the mention and taps again. "Thanks, looking at your family photo, it must have slipped my mind." He nods as a look of sadness appears before he shakes the thought out of his head.
He heads to the bag picking it up. He looks at the clothing one last time as he walks back tapping on the door.
"Thanks again, Relon!" She opens the door slightly as her arm reaches out to grab it. "Whoa!" She loses her step falling forward as Relon's eyes widen (Hehe).
CRASH!
Relon winces as he flexes his body making sure everything is fine but feels something soft... and squishy?
Oh no...
He opens his eyes to see Momo on top of him, her mouth quivering in embarrassment as a blush as deep as vermilion is visible. Relon widens his eyes at the girl over top of himwith nothing but a tower protecting her innocence.
SQUISH.
He gains a confused face as he looks at his hand. His left is at her waist.
I managed to save her from falling. Good. He looks at the girl who closes her mouth, her onyx eyes seeming to dance as she looks at him uttering odd sounds. He looks still confused as he looks at his other arm. He follows it trailing up until he reaches his hand, his breathing stopping as he realizes why Momo is acting the way she is. Clasping one side skin and the underside covered by the towel, is his hand on her breast. He widens even more as on reflex, his hand squishes her breast as she lets out a small moan as she covers her mouth with the back of her hand as she pants. He quickly releases her hold as she lays on top of him panting still. His eyes trace all over her as the upper portion of her cleavage is only a foot or two from his face. She gets up followed by him as they look away from one another.
"S-sorry. I lost my footing..." She mutters slowly looking to her boyfriend who lightly taps the floor as words appear.
'I'm sorry too. I didn't mean for that to happen.'
She fully looks to him.
"Let's both agree to forgive and move on." She suggests chuckling as Relon nods chuckling as well nervously.
His eyes go to her figure, the towel wrapped around her sticks to her hips. Most likely from the shower with the sweat accumulated. Momo notices his gaze and shuffles nervously. He looks at her hair completely down for the first time.
"H-hey." He snaps from his trance as he looks to Momo. "Do you like what you see...?" She averts her eyes as Relon realizes he's staring to avert his eyes once more, slowly nodding his head as a smile creeps on her face. "W-well, I'd like to get some clothes on if that's alright with you." She says squirming in place for him to get out of the way as he picks up her bag handing it to her which she takes nodding as she goes into his room closing the door.
He looks at his right hand flexing it, the sensation still being felt as he shakes his head going into the main room, a silly grin on his face. He smacks his cheeks as he stops in the middle of the room.
Now what do I do? As if on que, his stomach rumbles. That's odd, why is it rumbling? I went days without eating anything decent since I got here until this past weekend but it hasn't even been 24 hours. Maybe I just want more of Momo's cooking. He looks in the direction of the kitchen. She did buy groceries for me. Might as well whip something up. He heads for said destination to start on dinner.
Momo closes the door as she leans against it. Her hand lightly caressing the breast Relon had accidentally touched. She flashbacks to the sounds she made as she puts her hands to her cheeks.
I can't believe I made such noises! She shakes her head looking at her chest. His hand groping my chest... it felt was such pleasant feeling. She glances at a tall mirror looking at her reflection. He actually checked me out... With that last thought in mind, she changes to her night attire consisting of a simple black T-shirt and shorts. She looks back at her bag. Did he see them? I can't believe I left the bag open as well! She sighs in defeat as she sits on his bed.
"It's so peaceful and quiet." As those words escape her mouth, a thought comes to mind. "Wait, Nunu and Kanao said that two years after being in that facility, they escaped." She looks at the bedroom door. "Then what was Relon doing for the last seven years...?"
Alright, everything looks to be coming along nicely.
He wipes his forehead of the forming sweat. Now I just have to wait for the timer to go off and it'll be ready. He wipes his dirty hands on a towel and goes to turn the television on. He flips through the channels as he stops on the news station, a story highlighted in large bold text reading, 'Follow-Up Report: U.A. High School Attack.'
"This is a follow-up report on this morning's incident at the rescue training facility where hero course students were attacked by villains." The spokeswoman begins.
The news stations already have word on this!?
Just then, he turns to see Momo coming from his room.
"Hey I- She stops noticing his expression. "What's wrong?" Serious mode setting in as Relon redirects his attention to the television.
"According to police investigation, the criminals call themselves 'The League of Villains' and have been plotting to kill All Might who has been a teacher since spring of this year. Police have arrested 252 villains but they still do not know the whereabouts of their ringleader." The woman finishes as the news goes to commercial.
"They've already got information from earlier? The villains may have lost but they've damaged the school's reputation. How will the school respond." Momo wonders taking on a thinking posture. "Nothing comes to mind."
Ding Ding Ding.
Both teens look to the kitchen as Relon heads inside followed by Momo taking a seat at the bar.
"You cooked dinner? I didn't know you could cook." She comments as he twirls his finger for words to appear on the bar in front of her.
'Only the basics. I learned them growing up.' What she was going to ask comes back to her.
"That's right. I have a question for you, if you don't mind." He stops in front of the oven as if thinking over what to do but after a few seconds, he nods getting out the dinner plates from a cabinet. "Well it has to do with your past..." She begins looking at him as he continues organizing dinner, his back to her. "The others mentioned you all escaped that place which had to been when you were nine so my question is what were you doing and where were you these last seven years?" He stops what he is doing.
Tap.
Momo looks down seeing the words rearrange themselves.
'What I was doing was being isolated from society.'
Tap.
'As for where, I was everywhere around the world.'
"Why...?"
Tap.
'Things happened. I ended up using 100% Malevolence and in the aftermath, I fled.'
"What ha-
Tap.
She looks at the words.
'That's enough for now, Momo.'
She looks up seeing him back at work organizing the plates. She lowers her eyes.
"Okay..."
Tap.
'One step at a time.'
"Yeah." She looks up as he brings her a bowl and chopsticks as her eyes gleam at the sight. "You made Mapo Tofu!" He nods. " This is one of my favorite dishes!" And it both smells and looks great!" Relon pours the tea before taking a seat next to her as they clap twice.
"Thank you for the food!" She blesses as Relon nods for her to take a bite as she puts a hand to her cheek humming in delight. "This is amazing, Relon!" She takes another bite. "Everything is cooked to perfection! Nothing is over cooked, the meat is done well as is the rice. I could get used to this." She takes a sip of the tea. "You made herbal tea? It taste delightful!" He smiles before digging in himself.
Glad I was able to do something right.
Once dinner ended and the dishes were cleaned and put up, Momo lets out a yawn seated at the bar.
"It's getting late. We should probably get to bed. It's already 10 p.m."
Relon stretches heading to his room and coming back with a blanket and pillow tossing them on the couch.
"What are you doing?" He looks at the girl tap on the floor as she looks at the bar.
'You wanted to stay over so I was going to let you have the bed and I sleep on the couch.'
"Did you forget what I said back in front of my mansion?" He tilts his head as he closes his eyes thinking back.
"HOW CAN I REGRET FALLING FOR SOMEONE SO KIND TO HAVE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH!? YOU LOST YOUR CHILDHOOD! TAKEN TO SOME FACILITY WHERE YOU AND THE OTHERS WERE SOMEONE'S LAB EXPERIMENTS. YOUR LIVES IN THEIR HANDS! YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE ABLE TO PROTECT US WITH AIZAWA SENSEI! I WAS SO FRUSTRATED! YOU WERE FIGHTING PROTECTING ME ONCE AGAIN... I couldn't do anything but look on praying you would be alright... When you came back with the others, I wanted to hold you and never let go... but before I could, you were gone once again."
I couldn't do anything but look on praying you would be alright...
When you came back with the others, I wanted to hold you and never let go...
I wanted to hold you and never let go...
Never let go...
He opens his eyes looking at the girl seated, a blush reforming.
Does she...?
"I'm guessing from that look you figured it out?"
She does...
She shuffles in her seat before getting up and walking to her boyfriend standing before him.
"If it's okay with you, could we... sleep together?" He blinks trying to comprehend what she just said. "After today, I- She stops as Relon puts a finger to her lips silencing his girlfriend as he goes to the couch grabbing what he just brought from his room as he cuts off the lights.
He looks to her as moves his head in a 'come on' fashion as he heads for his room as she follows behind him. The couple enters with Momo closing the door behind them as Relon sets the blanket back in the closet and the pillow back on the bed.
"Relon, Af-
After today, you just want be to be close, right?
Her eyes widen at what she just heard as he turns around, black and circuit-like markings fading faster than they appeared. Relon turning to her giving a smile. She looks at him, disbelief turning to a small smile as she nods turning off the light as the moonlight illuminates the room through the window. He looks to her as she looks to him. He holds his arms out as she walks to him wrapping hers around him pushing our protagonist back as they fall onto the bed. Her face buried in his chest with hands gripped against his t-shirt.
"I was scared..." He rubs a hand through along her hair. "When we were with Kyouka and Kaminari, my body just acted and I went with it. Once we were done, I couldn't stop shaking!"
Relon thinks back to when they were flying to the others.
It wasn't just her body I felt against me, I could feel her hands tremble.
"Heroes have to do things like this all the time. I'm sure their first encounter with villains may have been the same but... you're not like that." She lifts her head resting her chin on his chest. "Ever since we met, you've never shown an ounce of fear. Against Todoroki, those thugs, and the villains; you never seemed to shake with fear but rather accept the challenge... There's so much I still don't know about you and your past but seeing you fight today I know one thing." She gets up standing over him as he sits up looking at her, determination visible through the moonlight. "I don't want to lose you, no matter what!" She balls her hands to fists at her sides. "You're stronger than anyone I know and I believe you are stronger than All Might. That's why, I want to get stronger too! So you don't have to protect me. I wanted to become a hero to be helpful and prove my mother wrong but now, I have another reason. I want to stand by your side and fight with you, Relon! That is what I've decided!"
Momo... His stunned look turns to a grin as he holds out his hand for Momo to question it before catching on as she grips it.
"Thank you." He gives a curt nod.
Momo walks over to the window letting in more of the moonlight as Relon watches her.
"The stars are quite a sight tonight. Relon..." She begins as he looks to her. "We both can get stronger. We're both going to get stronger. So I'm going to work twice- No! Three times as hard so I can catch up!" Relon looks, with surprise before nodding as she smiles to look back at the night sky.
I can't be afraid or else I can't move forward. Relon, Nunu, Kanao, and some of the others in Class 1-A are ahead of me and I have to catch up! Nothing is going to stop me!
She releases a yawn.
Pat pat.
She turns seeing Relon patting the bed. She walks over stretching but stops realizing what she's doing.
"S-sorry. Force of habit." She blushes to look at hey boyfriend whose sights are on her. "You're not looking away?" He shakes as words appear on the floor radiating a glow in the dark.
'Considering what happened during the landslide area and just outside the hall, yeah, I'm just mentally exhausted and like you said, we're dating. Stuff like this is normal, isn't it?' She looks back to see Relon already in bed, his arms behind his head with the covers pulled showing an open spot that Relon pats.
She accepts the gesture with a nod before climbing in next to him. She lays on her side looking at him as Relon looks to the ceiling, slight tints of pink on their cheeks.
"Um." He looks to her. "Can I-
He points to the ceiling as a glow can be seen from her peripheral.
'You don't have to ask. Just do it. And it's not selfish, it just shows you care.' She reads to look at a nodding Relon.
"Am I that obvious?" He nods his head. "Always honest, right?" He nods again as she smiles. "Of course. Then the same goes for you. No questions asked." She smiles at him, both looking to one another.
Without either uttering or signalling anything to the other, Momo moves herself close to Relon wrapping her arms around his chest and legs around his waist before resting her head on his shoulder. Relon wraps his left arm around her as he runs his fingers through her downed hair.
"That feels... nice..." She mutters, her body beginning to relax.
This sensation. I never want to loose or let go of.
He looks at the girl slowly falling asleep. Slowly he feels today catch up with him as he allows sleep to soon overtake himself.
Somewhere else within Musutafu, in a bar, a mist-like portal opens as Tomura falls out of it onto the floor.
"Ouch... That cheater Shinn played me! My damn face, chest, chin. It's like I was some dummy named Bob! It all fucking aches damn it! We lost completely... We lost the girl AND Nomu was defeated! Those useless grunts were more useless than the bosses in a game. I'm fucking level 100 with my Mewtwo so why would you bring out a level four Rattata!? It's stupid and I somehow lose!? That's bullshit! Oh, my Rattata is in the top percentage of Ratatta. Fucking bullshit! I wish I had a real Rattata, at least that rodent would have actually done something compared to those farming experience losers. Stupid stupid stupid brats! We never even saw the Symbol of Peace! It was like having your parents force you to go to the store just to not buy anything; there was no point! Master! The bullshit meter was off the charts!"
"No, it wasn't." A voice from a small television with 'sound only' visible on the screen responds. "We simply weren't prepared enough.
"Yes, that is the case. It's good that we did it under that cheap "League of Villains" name." Another voice says from the screen. "Now, what about our joint creations, the two Nomus?"
"Were they not retrieved?"
There is silence.
"One had its arm cut off and then its nape sliced rendering it immobile. We do not kniw what became of the other one. Nost likely both have been taken by the heroes." Kurogiri explains.
"What!?" The second voice shouts.
"Both Tomura and I were too injured and beaten to secure either Nomus."
"After all that work, damn it!" The second voice complains.
"Well it can not be helped. How unfortunate." The master says.
"Power... Master, that boy was there... Shinn!"
"What did you say!?" The second voice shouts, louder than before, the sound if something falling over from hus reaction and brraking can be heard.
"... Tomura, are you sure...?
"We both bore witness to both that demonic and light form. That light being what damaged me to the point of nit extracting the Nomu and ourselves had ut not been for your assistance, my lord." Kurogiri says.
"Consider yourselves lucky I had a timer set in case you remained too long... Shinn, hmm? It has been a while since I've seen that boy..." The master says.
"If he hadn't been there, we would have succeeded." Tomura states, his nails pulling on the wooden floor. "Shinn, Shinn, SHINN! I'll make you pay for what you did." He growls.
"This was not a futile exercise. We damaged their publicity. The foundations of trust heroes have in society has been dealt a blow. Now, gather your elites, take all the time you need. we cannot move freely, which is why which is why we need a symbol, like you. Shigaraki Tomura! Next time, show the world that you are to be feared!"
"Fascinating! A branch from Malevolence Form that has taken residence on your right half! Shinn, you really are the one! You will lead this world down the path to world order!" A pat on the shoulder.
"Go, meet those of both Alpha and Omega."
Two abandoned buildings. A single hallway connecting the buildings on the middle floor.
"Shinn!"
"So you're our leader?"
"No matter what, we all need to survive."
"With you, I feel like there's a chance to live. No matter what, we all need to survive."
"You don't speak? Why is that?"
"Someone! Save me!"
"Never forget that pain."
"This child is Tomura Shigaraki. Who is stronger? I want to find out."
"Everything shall die by my hand!"
"Relon! Don't do it!"
"Mom!"
"You think you have won? No! You are mistaken! I can not be defeated!"
Kill them... Do it now!
He shoot up panting heavily, his whole body covered in sweat. He looks around taking in his setting realizing it's his room. He puts his hands throigh his hand as he doubles over.
Those were...
Suddenly like a machine gun, each memory flashes through his mind forcing the teen to grunt from the pain as he leans against the wall since his bed is against it. He shuts his eyes enduring the mental barrage until they cease in an instant. He opens his eyes, his vision becoming odd as he sees a black haze out of his left eye and white haze from his right.
What the!? Wait!
He brings his arms down seeing black and circuit-like markings.
Why am I in Total Balance!? I need to calm down. He takes deep breathes, one after another in slow repetition, until he reverts to normal. That wasn't even 10% but how did it turn itself on? Did the entity have something to do with this? Is it a side affect of using it today? Or is it something else? He leans against the wall to clutch his head.
"Mm." Her turns to the sound to find Momo sitting up rubbing her eye.
Momo...? Damn, I completely forgot we were sleeping together. That grunt and my breathing must have woken her up.
She looks to Relon's bent over form as she becomes fully awake.
"Relon! What's wrong?" He sighs banging the side of his head against the wall to which Momo looks up then back to him. "They were from back then weren't they...?" Images flash as he grips his head nodding slowly.
He lets out one final breath as he falls back onto the bed placing his arm over his eyes. Momo looks at her boyfriend, a look of worry once again visible, before laying down next to him. Relon lifts his arm from his face into the air.
"Come here." She whispers.
He looks to Momo, her arms extending for him inviting the the teen. He scoots to her this time wrapping his arms around her waist as he lowers himself, burying his face in her chest. No squirming or noises come from the girl as she rubs his head looking at the male.
So soft... These powers. These memories. Midoriya. Kanao and Nunu. Momo. Everyone. My past, present, and future. Fate has decided everything up to this point. He looks to Momo who shuffles her eyes slightly. Like Momo, I too will take hold of what I can do. And from there, I'll make my own path.
He looks up to Momo as she smiles.
I'm no longer alone. I have friends who care for me as I do them. They believe in me and I can't afford to fail. He moves closer to Momo's face as she looks on, her pink shade slowly darkening. He stops, their lips mere centimeters away as he places his forehead on hers as they both look to one another. Momo, you were the first to believe in me after years of isolation. He closes his eyes gently placing his lips on hers, Momo widening hers for one final time. She soon returns the gesture, both enjoying this new type of affection. A simple kiss, nothing more. That being the first for both male and female. After a minute they both pull back for air to then smile at one another before Shinn lowers himself back to rest where one could define it as heaven. She places a hand to her lips where he made contact with.
Thank you. For everything.
Her eyes sparkle as a single tear rolls down as she looks at the lowered teen before bringing him closer, the two embracing one another as if their time would be that very night. Their legs entangled with one another's. Momo's hand around his head with the other around his back. Relon's at her waist and back. Momo's head over Relon's buried deep in her chest.
"Anytime." She whispers as they once again drift to sleep.
