UA's Saiyan Heroes
"Man, that was a long flight. Couldn't we have just flown here ourselves instead?" Mina asked.
"We'd have risked an international incident if we did that. Sure it would have taken less time, but at least I got us first class seats didn't I?" Kaen asked.
"Mama, Papa, are we there yet?" Eri asked with a yawn.
"We're just got out of customs Eri." Mina said. "But where do we go now Kaen?"
"I've got a suit booked for three at the Walt Disney World Resort. We can just fly there and get some rest before we head out for our day of fun." Kaen explained.
"Mama, I have to go to the bathroom." Eri said, pulling on Mina's arm.
"I'll take Eri to the bathroom real quick first." Mina stated, leading Eri away.
"I can wait out by the doors." Kaen said, pulling out his phone. "My music should keep me distracted until you get back."
Taking out his earbuds, Kaen coursed through his Ki through his phone, charging it with barely any effort, and the upgraded Ki Powered Rechargeable Battery, Athena put in his phone.
"Thank you sis, for the Ki powered phone." He snickered, sticking the wireless buds into his ears. "Hmm, let's see, this song seems like it would be good to start out with."
Playing the music, Kaen leaned back against one of the pillars outside the airport, waiting for Mina and Eri to come out so they could get going. But jet lag was starting to get to him, which made him a bit impatient.
"What's taking them so long?" Kaen questioned.
Before he could go and look, Kaen gasped in shock when he suddenly found himself hugged in a headlock, by a big arm, and a muscular woman's body.
"Kaen Yagi." The woman smiled, removing one of his earbuds. "You will give your big sister a hug."
"D-Damn it." Kaen cursed as he was released from the headlock, and his body began to move on its own. "Come on Cathleen, it isn't fair to use your Quirk on me like this." He said, trying to fight back against the command of her Quirk.
"Too bad. You wouldn't give me a hug otherwise." Cathleen smirked, before she felt her control break.
"Damn. That was easier then last time." Kaen said. "Guess all my Zenkai Boosts have paid off."
"You've gotten stronger kid. It's been a while since I've seen you." Cathleen smiled.
There in front of Kaen, stood a tall woman with a well-muscled build. She had elegant facial features, narrow eyes, and long flowing blonde hair with eight distinct tufts swept backward and fashioned in a similar manner to All Might's. She wore a brown Leathermans jacket, over a white t-shirt and a pair of dark blue tough jeans. She had a bright smile on her face, and a prideful gleam in her eyes.
"What are you even doing here Cathleen? Shouldn't you be back at your military base?" Kaen questioned. "An' how did you know I'd be here? I never contacted you."
"Your dad contacted me and told me you'd be here." Cathleen said.
"Of course he did. So that means you requested some time off after that?"
"You'd be right." Cathleen smiled.
"Listen, I get you want to spend some time with me, but I'm actually here with…"
"Kaen?" Mina questioned, coming up behind him with Eri. "Who's this?"
"Mina, about time you got back." Kaen smiled. "Mina I'd like you to meet Cathleen Bate. Cathleen, this is my girlfriend Mina, and…"
"Papa, she looks like a girl version of All Might." Eri gasped.
"Papa?" Cathleen questioned, her voice growing less friendly and more serious.
"This Cathleen is our daughter Eri." Kaen said. "We're having a Summer Break Vacation to Disney."
"I would really like an explanation please." Cathleen said, pulling Kaen's ear.
"Ow-ow-ow, okay just stop. Long story short, Mina and I rescued Eri from a Yakuza Villain who goes by Overhaul. It's the name of his Quirk, so you can probably guess who he's trying to imitate." Kaen said, breaking free of Cathleen's grip on his ear. "After that, Eri was taken into the family as my daughter, and Mina became her mother."
"Papa's my hero." Eri cheered, throwing her arms up into the air. "An' Aunty Athena gave me a Quirk combined of his, as well as two Quirks called Wrath and White Tiger."
Cathleen looked at Kaen curiously.
"Uh, Mina why don't you and Eri go grab something to eat real quick while I catch up with Cathleen?" Kaen suggested, putting Eri down.
"Okay, come on Eri, let's leave them be for now." Mina said, taking Eri off to the closest restaurant.
"Talk." Cathleen said, as soon as they were gone.
"Overhaul was tearing Eri apart, piece by piece with his Quirk on a daily basis. He was basically killing her over and over again. An' the reason was, he was harvesting her cells, to turn her original Quirk, Rewind,into a drug that could erase Quirks for good." Kaen explained. "So our friend Eijiro Kirishima thought up the idea of Athena switching our Rewind, for a Quirk Eri would actually appreciate, instead of call a curse like she had after Overhaul and her own mother did when it was first awoken. Her own mother abandoned her, to the mercy of a madman."
Cathleen just looked at Kaen, seeing the anger towards Eri's biological mother in his eyes, before she sighed and chuckled.
"As I'd expect from the son of All Might." Cathleen smiled a hand on his shoulder.
"That's another thing." Kaen said. "Neither Mina nor Eri know my true connection to All Might. They believe my dad is just the secretary at his agency."
"So you're wanting me to keep quiet, is that it?"
"Please. I want to tell them when the time is right." Kaen said.
"My lips are sealed." Cathleen smiled. "But you gotta do something for me in return."
"What do you need?" Kaen inquired.
"My CO is wanting to have a word with you. He's wanting to ask you for your help in something he's caught wind of, but won't tell any of us. But when he heard you were coming to the US, he granted me my leave of absence, but on the condition I try and bring you to the base to meet with him, some time before you return to Japan." Cathleen explained.
"I can stop by the day after tomorrow, if that's okay." Kaen said.
"Perfect. I'll give him a call and let him know when you'll be able to stop by." Cathleen smiled, pulling out her phone. "I'll also talk to your parents about it."
~Undisclosed Warehouse~
The air was still, with not a sound flowing through it, as Raven Branwen looked at the plans displayed on the makeshift table in front of her.
"Raven. Everything is set for tomorrow." A woman with short brown hair said, coming out of the shadows.
"Excellent Vernal. What of our secret weapon?" Raven inquired.
"He's ready, and itching for a fight." Vernal said. "But there's one thing I do not understand about him."
"How he's still alive?"
"It just doesn't make sense. This man was a legend, a self proclaimed monster back in the era when Quirks were first appearing, and he even somehow became one, before he became a hero. But that was almost over 200 years ago." Vernal said.
"An' yet, it was childs play to put that mind control collar around him back in Japan, before returning here with him." Raven said. "This man is someone, who was known as the Hero Hunter. He was a martial artist, and to top it all off, he was Quirkless. He only became the way he is now, because he allowed for the words of a pathetic so called 'hero' to poison his mind."
"An' this will bring him back to who he was?" Vernal questioned.
"This will bring him back to the greatness that was Hero Hunter Garou." Raven smirked. "He will thank me, when he feels the rush of a
"An', not to question your decision as the new leader of the Branwen Tribe, but where are we attacking again?" Vernal inquired.
"We're attack one of the most popular theme parks in the US, for one simple reason." Raven smirked.
~Disney: Following Day~
"So, tell me why we had to bring our hero costumes and your guitar to Disney World?" Mina questioned, walking through the park with Eri, Kaen, and Cathleen.
The Hero Star and Stripe, had decided to join them for their trip to Disney World, in which she was happy to wear her hero costume, with Eri wearing her own, and Mina wearing her new designed costume, both of which were made by Athena and her classmates.
Eri's costume consisted of her bangs being less flat, gaining a bit of a spikier and choppier style, and hiding her right eye. dressed in a black, white lined lace-up corset, over a sleeveless and open back tank top, as well as a black choker around her neck with a gold framed amethyst pendent. She wore a pair of black tights under a pair of shorts, with the left pant sleeve completely gone from the upper thigh, with a white belt around the waist, and a pouch on her right hip.
On her arms, she had silver bracers with small black buckled straps around the wrists connected to black fingerless gloves. Her normal sneakers had been replaced with black ankle high steel-toed combat heels, with silver soles and heels. On her back, was a round bottomed triangular piece of metal, that was smaller in size for Eri, but very familiar to the metal Kaen had.
Mina's new costume consisted of a tight black stretchy form fitting pants, and a shoulderless long sleeve top, leaving her belly, from the base of her ribs to the top of her hips exposed, with her shins, arms, chest, and waist highlighted by metal plating, and fingerless knuckled gloves, and the same footwear from her previous costume, a pair of thin light weight boots, with holes in the souls for her acid to slip through, now black.
"Take a look at this." Kaen smiled, holding up a poster, while his guitar was slung over his shoulder and back.
"You're kidding me." Mina gasped. "Panic at the Disco, is gonna be hosting a singing contest, funded by Disney Incorporated and the grand prize is a one of a kind guitar, and US $500,000?"
"Second place is a life long family pass with free room and board at the Disney Castle Suit with each visit. Third place, is a life time supply of Mickey Mouse ice cream bars. According to the rules, all participants have to be dressed like heroes. A bit of an inspired theme after the current CEO of Disney, saw the footage of the concert we went to a while back." Kaen explained, tapping the bottom of the flier, where the fine print was.
"Sounds great, what are we singing?" Cathleen asked.
"Sorry Cat. But Pro-Heroes are forbidden from entering." Kaen said. "It would be considered cheating since Heroes would have an unfair advantage in popularity."
"So, the winner is decided via a vote?" Mina inquired, looking at the flier.
"Correct. All those not participating will have one vote to give after all the songs have been sang, and Brendon is gonna be the one to announce the winner after the votes have been tallied." Kaen explained.
"I already know who I'm voting for." Cathleen smiled.
"Why not wait until after every participant has had a chance to sing?" Kaen chuckled.
"Excuse us, are you Mr. Yagi?"
Kaen turned to his right to see two security guards, in blue shirts, with badges shaped like Mickey Mouse's head.
"I am." He said.
"We need you and your accompanying party to come with us sir." One of the guards said.
"Of course. I'm sure this can be cleared up." Cathleen said.
"Oh no, it's not anything bad. Mr. Urie just asked us to bring you to him." The other guard said. "You must be pretty wealthy to know someone like him."
"You could say we actually I saved his life some time ago." Kaen snickered.
~Lookout in Japan~
"Welcome, I apologize for the short notice, but there is something important you must know about Kaen, as well as Mina and Eri." Mecheal said, sitting at his desk across from Gine and Toshinori.
"Well I can't stay too long. I need to get to the hospital for my night shift." Gine said.
"An' I have to finish preparing my lesson plans for my classes when summer break ends." Toshinori said.
"Of course, this won't take too long." Mecheal said, bringing an item out from his desk, revealing a dragon statue, with a Celtic Crucifix behind it, and a large gem in front of it.
"What is that?"
"This nifty little item, is the Eye of the Watcher." Mecheal said. "Long ago, there were beings, who could see into the multiverse, and even interact with it, but were sworn to an oath of never interfering with any of the infinite realities. When the last of them perished, he transferred all the power he'd accepted from his fallen comrades and predecessors, into his right eye, which was made of a gem even purer then diamond, and even indestructible to where not even the Infinity Stones all together, could destroy it. An' luckily for us, the eye just so happened to manifest itself in our reality, in the gem of this statue."
"What does this have to do with us?" Gine asked.
"I'll show you?" Mecheal said, turning the dragons head of the statue to a projection screen Arcane set up, and put his hand on the statue, with his pointer, index, and ring fingers on the gem, making it glow. "Show us, Kaen Yagi."
The eyes of the dragon statue began to glow, before a bright stream of light shined through them, and both adults gasped, when they saw fragmented realities, all of them showing Kaen. One of them showed Kaen fighting with a Pirate Crew against a large pale skinned giant of a man with lavender hair and a crucifix tie. Another showed him sparring against a dark skinned man with long dark hair, and blue markings decorating his body and hair.
"As you can see, there are multiple possibilities to Kaen' future. Some of them involved him being transported to another world entirely. Others involved him being sent to different realities that evolved different then our own. An' others sent him back in time, to fight alongside his idols, and the Mightiest Heroes our world had to offer at the time." Mecheal explained, before he focused in on the first reality they saw, projecting it like a movie. "That reality, is where he, Mina, and Eri, join the Straw Hat Pirate Crew, and fight against a corrupt and tyrannical World Government." He switches to another alternate reality. "That reality the three of them are part of a Magical Guild called Fairy Tail, on a world far off into a great distance of our universe, into a galaxy known as the Sakura Cosmos. An' Kaen is quite popular with several of his guild mates, while harboring a secret, he fears they'll villainize him for."
"But that's… not even Frieza or his father would attempt to make their way to that Cosmos. They'd die of old age before even getting there." Gine said.
"What are you getting at?" Toshinori asked.
"My point is. All these realities involve not just Kaen, but Mina and Eri as well. Some even include a couple of his classmates like Kyoka Jiro, or Momo Yaoyorozu, or even Izumi Midoriya, joining the trio through these adventures." Mecheal explained.
"So what you're saying is, any of these could happen?" Toshinori inquired.
"They already have." Mecheal stated. "These realities you see, are branches from the timeline you currently know. An' most of them happen, all because of a simple choice he made, that created these alternate realities." He said, as the realities rewound and paused, on one image, of Kaen holding up his wrist, with a single device connected to it. "In those realities, he used Athena's, Instant Teleportation Watch, which is still in his possession."
~Kaen's House~
"Aunt Fasha, have you seen my blueprint note books anywhere?" Athena asked.
"You're bringing your blueprint note books to a sleepover?" Fasha questioned. "What kind of sleepover is this?"
"One where we brainstorm ideas for Hero Support Items." Athena stated, coming down the stairs, dressed in her casual clothes. "We're gonna be brainstorming new ideas for Mina's hero costume, as well as a way to create a body for Pinach tonight."
"You left them on the kitchen table during lunch." Fasha said.
"Thanks." Athena smiled, grabbing her notebooks, and shoving them into her bag. "See you in a couple days."
"Be safe." Fasha said, as Athena left.
When Fasha felt Athena was gone, her face hardened and she turned off the television.
"Show yourself Chimera. You might have been able to hide from Athena, but you can never hide your presence from me." Fasha said, looking towards the open sliding glass door.
"You've seemed to have made yourself quite comfy here." Chimera said. "I was almost worried you'd forgotten about the rest of us, living here in the lap of luxury."
"Trust me, I wish I could forget about you." Fasha stated. "What the hell do you want?"
"Nine wants an update. What have you found out about the Saiyans living here?" Chimera questioned.
Fasha just glared at Chimera, before firing a Ki blast at him, destroying the Cigar in his mouth.
"Don't smoke in here. I don't own the house, Kaen does." Fasha said.
"The update?" Chimera growled, spitting out the cigar butt.
"Yeah-yeah. Don't get your panties in a twist." Fasha sighed, reaching into her cleavage, and pulling out a recording device. Pressing the rewind button, Fasha waited until the device clicked, and she took a small cassette tape from the device, and tossed it to the villain. "There. That has everything I've learned of Kaen and Athena so far."
"You're staying?" Chimera questioned.
"I still have a few more things to uncover about the two brats, and the one girl who became a Saiyan from a Genetic Reprogramming Quirk being used on her, and how these Saiyans got Quirks, while I remain Quirkless." Fasha stated. "Apparently there's a third Saiyan brat on Earth, and he's not very heroic."
"Do you know his handle?"
"Akuma."
"That upstart who attacked the USJ?" Chimera asked.
"Yep." Fasha said. "Now get out of here, before Gine and her husband come back."
"Fine. But just know, you will have to come back eventually." Chimera said. "Thanks for the info."
'A lot of good it'll do you. Only a few words on that report is true.' Fasha thought, as she used a Ki blast to clean up the cigar ashes, and disperse of the smell. 'Best way to tell a lie, is to put a grain of truth in it.'
~Disney World~
"Mr. Urie, we've brought them like you requested." One of the security guards said, knocking on the door to Brendon's dressing room behind the competition stage.
"Thank you officers, you can head back to your posts now." Brendon said. "Come on in guys."
Entering the change room, the group saw Brendon had been set up nicely, and had plenty of snacks and drinks.
"Brendon." Eri cheered running up and hugging him.
"Hey kitten, I'm happy to see that smiling face again." Brendon smiled, hugging her back.
"It's been a while, you doing okay man?" Kaen questioned.
"I'm doing great." Brendon smiled, before noticing who was with them. "Whoa, Star and Stripe?"
"Yeah, she's kinda accompanying us." Kaen chuckled.
"Why you gotta be harsh like that to your big sis?" Cathleen asked, with a mock sadness.
"Big sis?"
"She acts like a big sis. An' my family knows her through All Might so she kinda became my big sis whenever we came to the US." Kaen explained.
"How do you have…"
"His dad is All Might's secretary at his agency." Cathleen said.
"That makes sense." Brendon said. "That also explains why you're able to fight with your Quirk, and not get in trouble for it."
"Yeah, but it's a little tricky when I go overseas." Kaen said.
"Whatever the case, unless I say otherwise, you'll always have my approval for fighting crime with your Provisional License." Cathleen stated.
"Well, as fun as this is, I'm assuming you're all here, because of the contest right? That's why you all came here dressed heroically, and with your guitar?" Brendon questioned.
"Yeah, we're here for the contest. We're gonna shoot for first place." Kaen smiled.
"Well, only one of you can sign up, unless you're signed in as a duet, in which case Eri will have to be with someone while you get ready to perform." Brendon said.
"I'm pretty sure he signed us in as a duet." Mina said.
"That I did." Kaen acknowledged.
"What song are we gonna be singing?" Mina inquired. "Wait, is it that song we've been singing as a duet since you moved into my mom's house after yours was destroyed?"
"The very same, but you'll be singing solo, while I'll sing backup and play the instrumental." Kaen smiled. "Brendon, I wasn't aware Eri wouldn't be able to accompany us to backstage. Do you mind if she stays in here?"
"Eri can be with me in the crowd while you two get ready." Cathleen stated.
"Actually, there's nothing saying you can't stay back stage, Eri just won't be able to go to the stage with you." Brendon explained.
"So both Eri and I can stay and watch from back stage?" Cathleen asked.
"Of course. Now get ready, you're gonna be the last group on stage, so you'd best get to preparing." Brendon said, opening the other door, leading out of his dressing room, and into the waiting room.
Inside, Mina and Kaen pause, when they find almost all the participants, are dressed like All Might, in his different costumes.
"Well, isn't this a treat?" Kaen questioned in annoyance.
"So many All Might's." Mina said.
"Mama and Papa are gonna go crazy, aren't they?" Eri inquired.
"Maybe sweet-pea, maybe." Cathleen said.
~Kaen and Mina's Turn~
"Thank you, give it up for All Might Bronze Age #34." Brendon said as the musician left the stage, with his guitar and a proud smile on his face. "An' now ladies and gentlemen. I think it's about time we got a change up in our hero's don't you? I mean, I love All Might, after seeing 75 different varieties of him, I think we had enough. Am I right people?" He questioned, with the crowd agreeing with a cheer. "Well our finalists, aren't dressed like All Might, thank goodness. In fact, our finalists, happen to be two students from the Hero Course at U.A High School in Japan, coming to you dressed in their very own hero costumes. So please, let's hear a warm welcome for Super Saiyan, and Alien Queen."
As the crowd cheered, Kaen and Mina stepped out, both of them smiling with joy, and wearing wireless mics, before Mina covered her mic with her hand.
"You told him that was my first choice for a Hero name, didn't you?" Mina inquired.
"No. I told Eri, and she told Brendon." Kaen said with a mischievous smile.
"Oh, we are so getting Cathleen to watch Eri later for some, fun of our own." Mina smirked before uncovering her mic, and began speaking in English. "Hello everyone, how are you all doing today?" This got a cheer from the crowd.
"Now, we're pretty sure, you heard the same dang song, over and over again, from all the All Might Cosplayers. I mean, who wouldn't be tired of hearing the song, Make a Man out of you, from Mulan over seventy times, am I right?" Kaen inquired getting a laugh from some of the folks in the crowd.
"Lucky for you, since the rules say we have to do a Disney Song, Super Saiyan and I, have a special song we think fits us perfectly. So be prepared, to see a softer side to some hardcore heroes in training." Mina smiled.
(Cue Music… Can you feel the love tonight: Lion King Guitar/Duet)
Kaen began to play the instrumental to the song, bringing a calm atmosphere from his playing, that seemed to wash over everyone who heard his melody, before Mina began to sing.
There's a calm surrender, to the rush of day. When the heat of a rolling wind, can be turned away. An' enchanted moment, and it sees me through.
As Kaen continued to play, he and Mina both became detached from the stage surface, flying into the air, and over the crowd of Disney World attendees, with their bodies glowing in a beautiful luminescent light, that made them look like a couple of shooting stars as they flew over the crowd.
It's enough, for this restless warrior, just to be with you. An' can, you feel the love tonight? It is where, we are. It's enough, for this wide-eyed wanderer, that we got this far. An' can, you feel the love tonight? How it's laid to rest. It's enough, to make King's and Vagabonds, believe the very best.
~Instrumental Intermission~
Kaen could feel in his heart, the amount of emotion that this song held as Mina sang it. He could feel the energy of it flowing through them both, and thus through her voice, his music playing, and their actions into the air, as they flew high into the sky, stopping at a height where the wireless mic sets were still within range for the signal to reach the amps, with the crowd still having a good view of their entertainers, as they looked up at the twilight sky, lighting a burning passion in their souls.
There's a time for everyone, if they only learn, that the twisting kaleidoscope, moves us all in turn. There's a rhyme and reason, to the wild outdoors, when the heart of this star cross voyager, beats in time with yours.
Kaen began to gently descend down from the sky, towards the stage, but remained flying a foot off its surface, as they danced around each other in an elegant way, before they were facing each other with soft and gentle smiles on their faces.
An' can, you feel the love tonight? It is where we are. It's enough, for this wide-eyed wanderer, that we got this far. An' can, you feel the love tonight? How it's laid to rest. It's enough, to make Kings and Vagabonds, believe the very best.
As the tempo of the music began to slow, Kaen and Mina stepped closer to one another, both of them smiling proudly, as they got closer, and pressed their foreheads together looking each other in the eyes, seeing the passion that they held for one another.
It's enough, to make Kings and Vagabonds, believe the very best.
As the song came to a gentle end, Kaen pressed in to Mina, their lips locking in a kiss as they dropped to the ground with Mina remaining off the ground in Kaen's arms, and the crowd cheering, enjoying the song the duo sang, along with the performance throughout it all, with the ending sealing the feelings portrait in their singing, and music playing.
(End Song…)
"An' there you have it ladies and gentlemen. That was our final performance of the day. Please be sure to tally your votes on the computer kiosks on your way out. All you have to do is punch in your ticket number, then punch in your entry number, and have yourselves a magical day, here at Disney World." Brendon cheered. "To find out the results just go the website on the backs of your tickets, and see if your favorite musician won or not. Goodnight."
~A/N~
Been on a bit of a One Punch Man craze lately, so here you go. An' I don't know what happens beyond Chapter 161 of the manga, so this is what you get, even if it's not accurate to the cannon story at all. ;p
Also, the statue I described as the Eye of the Watcher… I have it sitting on my desk, LOL.
