Preparation
Author's note:
I do not own any Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super, Dragon Ball GT, or My Hero Academia.
Sunday, April 16th, Age 773/2008 at 8:07 p.m.
On Kami's Lookout, the two Namekians, alongside Mr. Popo, were standing in front of the door of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. It's been exactly 12 hours outside since the three entered the room. Thus, half a year should have passed on the inside. Six months of non-stop training and sparring with each other. Those three's powers must have increased to unimaginable levels. Who knows what awaits them when they exit?
Finally, the door opened revealing Gohan, Izuku, and Vegeta with torn Saiyan armors. While their appearances haven't changed much, their ki on the other hand was unbelievable. Not only that it felt calmer and better controlled, but it has reached extreme levels of power.
Midoriya was the best evidence for that. When entering the Room of Spirit and Time, his strength wasn't that impressive at all. But now, after leaving it, he felt as if he could blow up a dwarf star with ease. If they had a strong scouter, it would've beeped at 19.5 Million just in his base form!
Piccolo was speechless in front of this great power. With One For All: Full Cowl 100%, he'll be slightly stronger than him, and if his memory was correct, he should be as powerful as Perfect Cell at full power.
'Not bad, kid' thought the Namekian, 'Not bad at all.'
"Wow!" exclaimed Izuku while jumping high in the air, "I feel myself much lighter than ever before!"
"No surprise," responded the demi-Saiyan, "You've spent six months under ten times Earth's gravity. No wonder you'll feel lighter and faster."
"It's great to see that you've all improved," added Piccolo, "Turns out all those upgrades we've done won't go for nothing."
"Upgrades?"
"That's right, Vegeta-san," answered Dende, "In the past six years, we've done some changes on the Dragon Balls and the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Haven't you noticed that this is the third time you used it?"
"That's true!" realized Gohan, "The room can only be used twice no more!"
"Now, one can use it as many times as he wants," said Mr. Popo, his smile not leaving him, "We're now working on filling it with enough supplies so two persons can train inside of it for five years instead of one."
"S-Subarashi!" exclaimed Midoriya.
"As for the Dragon Balls," added Earth's Guardian, "we've upgraded it so instead of waiting for a full year for it to be charged, it'll take only three weeks."
"I-Impossible!" yelled the now 17-year-old half-human, "You've done all of this!?"
"Well, I couldn't just sit down and watch in the past few years," responded the shorter Namekians while rubbing the back of his head.
"Anyway, shouldn't you three head to your homes now? I'm pretty sure your families won't be happy if you get home later than you already will," pointed Piccolo.
"Damn, I forgot!" said the taller teen with clear panic, "If I don't go now, mom will make my life a living hell!" he then took the hand of the green-haired male and offered the full-blooded Saiyan to put his on his shoulder, "Vegeta, quickly! I'll take you to Capsule Corps."
"I don't need your help!" refused the prince, "With my speed, I can be there in a second or less." And so, he flew into the air, disappearing from the vision of the group of five.
"I guess this leaves only the two of us now, Gohan."
"Yeah," responded the older teenager, "Well, off to my house. See ya later, guys." And so, both of them disappeared.
Son residence, 8:10 p.m.
Sitting in the living room, Son Goten - whose father's friends sometimes refer to him as Mini Goku - was busy reading a book offered to him by his brother concerning insects and bugs while sometimes rubbing his full stomach. He must've over ate tonight despite his mother's warnings. This could be a lesson to him in taking care of his health.
Suddenly, two figures, whom he recognized, appeared next to him.
"How is ya doing, baby bro?"
A wide smile appeared on the boy's face seeing his brother(s) had finally come home. "Gohan, Izu! You're finally back!" he screamed joyfully. However, his joy quickly turned into a face of confusion when he noticed something. He asked with innocence: "Why are you two holding hands?"
"Huh?" Slowly, the two moved their heads slowly to the child's eyesight, only to realize that they were still holding hands. Damn, one of them should've held into the other's shoulder instead.
Without wasting a single moment, they let go of each other instantly, trying to forget this embarrassing moment. Thank God there was only Goten present there.
"It was just Instant Transmission, Goten," replied Gohan while rubbing his head, "Just forget about it."
"Gohan-chan, are you home?" asked a voice from the kitchen.
Just then, Gohan's mother, Son Chi-Chi, left whatever chores she's been doing and entered the living room to greet her son.
"Oh, my! Izuku!" said the woman with surprise, "I wasn't expecting you'd come over. Otherwise, I would've cooked more food for dinner."
"Hold on a second, what!?" yelled the shorter teenager, before turning his gaze to his hybrid friend, "Gohan, you told me that you have already informed her!"
"I... I guess I forgot," chuckled the Saiyan nervously, "Mom, I forgot to tell you this morning that Izuku will stay the night with us."
"You've what!?" screamed the mother with anger, filling all three with fear, especially her eldest son, "Son Gohan! How could you forget to inform me of such an important thing!? We didn't even prepare a proper bed for him!"
"Mrs. Chi-Chi," said Midoriya calmly while trembling in fright, "I-I'm terribly sorry f-for coming without permission. I-I'll just t-take my stuff and leave."
"Wait, Izuku!" she blocked his pass, stopping him from leaving, and then she responded to him with a calm and nice tone "I'm not mad at you. You can stay at any time you want. You're now like a member of this family."
"S-Seriously," he answered joyfully, "T-This means a lot for me, ma'am!"
"Oh, please. Drop that ma'am thing and just call me Chi-Chi like everyone else. As for you, young man," she said with a serious tone while pointing at Gohan, who stepped back in fear, "Not only will you share your dinner with Izuku, but you'll also share your bed with him."
"WHAT?! But mom I-"
All of a sudden, a red aura appeared surrounding his mother who was clenching her teeth with furry.
"You were saying?"
"N-Nothing."
It was silent at the dinner table. Son Gohan and Izuku Midoriya just sat there eating their food in total silence, both lowering their heads in guilt and not daring to look at each other.
"I'm sorry," whispered the younger teenager, breaking the silence between them.
"Huh?"
"I'm sorry for... you know, what happened earlier," he answered, "If you want, you can take my- I mean, your part of the food. I'm not really hungry. As for your bed, I can sleep on the couch, no problem. I may also-"
"Izuku, stop that!" interrupted the eldest son of Goku, "This isn't your fault, and I have no problem sharing my food and bed with my friend, my best friend! I'm the one who's supposed to apologize to you. If I didn't forget to inform my mom about your coming, you would've got a proper welcoming. So drop that off!"
"F-Fine," replied Midoriya, before deciding to move to another subject, "Gohan, may I ask you something?"
"Of course, you can ask anything you want."
"Thanks. You... You have mastered Instant Transmission like your dad, right?"
"Yes."
"And... when your father... sacrificed his life in the Cell Games, he used the same technique to teleport to King Kai's planet in the Other World, hasn't he?"
"Oh my god," thought the half-Saiyan, "I hope he's not getting to that point."
"Then, why don't you use it to teleport there and... meet him."
There was no response. Just a silence between them. Midoriya rethought what he just said. Perhaps it was a dumb idea to bring such a sensitive subject to him. Gohan told him many times that he got over what happened in the past. But Izuku, being so close to him, knew that deep inside, he was still blaming himself for his father's death. He assumed that the best way to help him was facing Goku face-to-face so he can tell him that what happened wasn't his fault at all. However, maybe the time didn't come yet for him to do that. Maybe it's still so early.
But now, after bringing the subject on, there is no back-off.
"Gohan," said Izuku calmly, standing up and moving his seat right next to the hybrid, "I know this is so hard for you, but face it. You will never get over it unless you do this," the latter turned his gaze to him and noticed how he was struggling to choose his words properly, "R-Rember that day when we first met All Might? I... I was afraid. I was afraid of All Might possibly mocking my dreams of being a Quirkless hero. I was afraid when I ran straight to the Sludge Villain. But deep inside me, I knew I had to do that. Believe me, I know what it means to be away from your dad," Hearing his last statement, Gohan's eyes went wide, and noticed Midoryia's eyes starting to water, "I-I haven't met mine since over a decade. A decade, Gohan. Ten years away from my dad! I'm... I'm not even sure if I'll recognize him when I meet him again," At that moment Gohan took notice how his friend was now crying silently and he wanted to say something to calm him, but the former wasn't done yet, "I-If you are that scared of meeting your dad, then... I'll gladly come with you... t-to give you my hand... l-like you always did to me."
The green-haired male's eyes were closed with tears falling from them, waiting for the response. Then, he felt the strong arms of the Saiyan wrapped around him, pulling closer to him, and giving him a one-sided hug. He also felt his shoulders getting wet, realizing that his friend was crying by now.
"Izuku," whispered Gohan, his eyes closed and a smile appeared on his face, "thank you... for being my friend."
Midoriya couldn't resist the happiness brought to him by this warm hug, which he returned with a big smile, glad that he can finally get his friend to throw this deep guilt off his shoulders.
However, what they didn't realize is that Chi-Chi was observing them the entire time. She felt her heart melt with her motherly love. At last, her son finally had a friend of his age who understands him.
Monday, April 17th, Age 773/2008 at 12:40 a.m.
U.A. Japan's greatest academy in heroism, from which thousands of heroes have graduated thanks to its famous teachers. It is widely known now that the number #1 hero, All Might, has joined it as a teacher for the Hero Class to help raise the future generations.
Speaking of him, the latter was currently sitting in the teachers' lounge alone with his food on the table. He kept staring at a Senzu bean that was in his hand. He had already used his 50 minutes time limit as a hero this morning, so this bean must work or he won't be able to teach the class this evening. When he ate it yesterday, he was able to stay in his muscular form for four extra hours, and, according to what Dende told him telepathy, one hermit bean is enough and he won't need to eat for ten days. He only needs one small bit to gain his stamina back. He approached one to his mouth and took a small bit of it.
Suddenly, steam started to get out of him again.
"I... I feel... I feel..." then he transformed to his muscular form and completed, "I feel all mighty!"
"Awesome!"
Toshinori was stunned for a moment before looking to the sofa in front of him. There was his successor, Young Midoriya, and his pupil, Young Son, sitting on it. Young Midoriya, as always, was brightened by sitting next to his idol, even if he has done that for a year now. Young Son, on the other hand, was dumbfounded by his teacher's act, which isn't strange at all.
"S-Since when were you two here?" questioned Toshinori timidly after turning back to his citizen form to store his energy.
"Since three minutes now," answered Gohan, "Did you forget? You invited us for lunch to discuss Izuku's new Quirks."
"Oh, yes! I for it," responded the hero, "You mentioned that you've met the previous holders in a dream, haven't you, Young Midoriya?"
"Not only that," responded his successor, "I also talked to one of them."
The older male's eyes widened in the surprise of hearing this information. "You did?"
The boy nodded his head in response before continuing: "And the weirdest part is that... I somehow unleashed his Quirk."
"Y-You've WHAT!?" shouted the hero in shock.
"And he also mentioned me being the one who'll stop someone or something called... All For One."
All Might froze in his place. Young Midoriya knows now about All For One. He would've warned them about him anyway. Just... not now.
"Young Midoriya, Young Son, listen to me closely, for I am about to tell the full origin story behind One For All," said Toshinori with a strict and serious hone, getting the attention of his two pupils.
"It all started in the middle of the seventh century according to the royal calendar, or the end of the 19th century according to the general one."
"You mean when Quirks first manifested?" questioned the Saiyan.
"Exactly. When humans around the world started to have mutations, society went crazy. People tried to explain this insane phenomenon. Some said that it was caused by an unknown virus. Others assumed this to be the second stage in the evolution theory. A third group accepted the belief that this was either a gift from God for us humans, or that it was a warning from him and a punishment for us. No matter what, no one cared about the origins. All that mattered then was that those who had Quirks were nothing but monsters. It was literal decay. "
The boys took a moment to swallow the information. Back then, when Quirks weren't common yet, the Quirkless people were dominant on Earth. Those born with Quirks were just freaks, monsters, and demons that should be killed. Hundreds to thousands have been killed in aggressive attacks formed by the Quirkless society who taught they were cleaning the world from them.
Now, the tables have turned. The Quirkless is the one treated as useless and the trash of society.
"Tell me," continued All Might, "have you ever heard of the saying 'If superpowers have never appeared, then humans would be taking interstellar holidays by now'?"
"I did," replied the shorter male, "Someone important said it in that era."
"That someone was a man who saw the world as a disaster filled with an illness that should be cured and believed himself to be the cure. He was known as All For One."
"All... For One," repeated Gohan, "Let me guess, a Quirk that steals Quirks?"
"You've got it right. With his Quirk, All For One stole Quirks from other people to gain power. To become stronger to achieve his goal of the so-called salvation. But his danger didn't lie only in his strength, but also in his influence on others. He was the first to unify people with his speech back then. Add to that, One For All allowed him not just to take Quirks, but also to give them. In other words, if he stood in front of two persons, one with a Quirk who wants to get rid of it, and the other is a Quirkless who wishes to have power, he can simply take the first one's Quirk, and give the second a power he has stolen.
And what gained him the trust of the public was that some were born with extremely strong Quirks. They were so strong to the point that their bodies couldn't handle the burning. The power was the one in control of the body, while the poor victim became a living doll that couldn't speak. They became... like robots. Like the Nomu from the USJ incident and the Saibamen you told me about.
All For One had the power to take the Quirks and make part of his body while deactivating it at will, avoiding the horrible pain of it until he masters it. By taking that burden from the weak, he was a savior for him.
People from all around the world started to come to him, seeing him as a way either to gain power or become normal and get rid of that, curse. They started to idolize him. Heck, some idiots took it so far that they started worshipping him, believing him to be a god among men or a reincarnation of Christ.
In the blink of an eye, he became the Supreme ruler of a large part of west Asia. With his followers and overwhelming power, he moved people in a calculating way, committing evil acts to his heart's content."
" H-Hold on a second, All Might," interrupted Izuku, "isn't this... a branch of rumors spread on the internet? I mean... they don't teach any of this in school or history in general, right?"
"It's no surprise," said Gohan, "When my dad defeated the Red Ribbon Army, the survivor members were soon captured by the police and other heroes, yet none of them were mentioned in the news or anything. If people knew that an army was working in secret to conquering the world, panic will spread among them, believing in the possibility of the existence of other secretive armies and organizations that waits for the perfect moment to take over the world.
At that time, before the emergence of Quirks, the Earth was already in chaos. Plagues were spread everywhere in Europe. Famines here and there. America suffered from poverty. Not to mention the diplomatic problems between countries and even in its own states. Even King Shuchang, the global king back then, couldn't do anything to stop that. Humanity was on the edge of a world war. And then, to make things worse, people started to have mutations.
The world was at chaos. There's no way they'll reveal such classified information to the public."
A small chuckle escaped Toshinori's mouth who commented: "You know, Young Son? Sometimes, I believe you have a secret Quirk of super intelligence inside of you. You know a lot about these untold events.
Anyhow, as for how all of this relates to One For All, that man - All For One - had a Quirkless younger brother. Unlike him, he had a sense of justice and humanity, despite being small and sickly compared to others.
Despite the villain he was, AFO still had sympathy for him. He offered him a Quirk he stole: one that stocks power. He told him that with it, he'll be like those legendary heroes he heard of in stories and folklore. However, he refused. The younger one felt horrible to witness the evil deeds of his sibling, so he resisted. He went as far as to refuse to eat, making his body weaker than what it already was.
All For One had no choice but to force the Quirk on him. It is impossible to know if he did it out of kindness... or if he got tired of his brother resisting him and wanted him to submit to his beliefs."
"And then what?"
"It turned out that when a Quirk is passed on to someone who already has one, it either changes or gets mixed with it, becoming a new one. 1fter receiving his brother's 'gift', the two discovered that the younger brother wasn't Quirkless. He had something inside of him. It was a useless Quirk. One that can PASS QUIRKS!"
All Might stood up from his chair and yelled: "The Quirk to stock power merged with the Quirk to pass on Quirks. That was the origin of One For All!"
The hybrid and OFA's ninth holder gasped in disbelief. All Might knew exactly what they thought of, which pained him as well. One For All, the Quirk that gave hope to mean, that made him a symbol of peace and justice, originated from a great power of evil. How ironic.
But there was still more.
"The story didn't end there though," continued the Symbol of Peace, "During his quest to find strong and powerful Quirks, the villain managed to put his hands on a mysterious one. One that either slowed his aging or maybe stopped his aging at all, " the shock was clear on his students' faces since they knew where he was getting, "The Symbol of Evil became like an immortal being. The younger brother, despite all his efforts, has lost the battle. The battle, not the war.
He entrusted that Quirk to another, hoping that one day, someone will put an end to the war that his brother started. All For One, frustrated by this act, lost all hope he had in his brother and ended up murdering him and chasing all of One For All's users, killing them one by one and attempting to take what he believed to be his. Finally, it was trusted... to me."
"S-So... you fought him once?" questioning his successor who was trembling with worry.
"Yes, it was exactly six years ago."
"Six... years ago?" repeated the Saiyan, and then it hit him in the head, "Don't tell me..."
"Yes," confirmed the skinny man, "Toxic Chainsaw was nothing for me. All For One is the one who gave me this injury."
For a moment, there was nothing but silence. Imagining that a human was able to cause such harm and put a great fight against All Might in his prime was impossible. Sure, they are undoubtedly stronger than him back then in just their base forms now, but still. Given that he had six years worth of preparation for the next fight, and putting in mind the possibility of him becoming an android, this villain could be now as powerful as Perfect Cell.
"It was a hard battle," continued Toshinori, "the hardest one I've had till now. But I couldn't let my master's killer get away with what he's done. So I gave it all I had. I went PLUS ULTRA! At last, I defeated him. But sadly, he escaped."
The hero then moved to the nearby window, staring at the city, at the citizens he took an oath to protect. "Midoriya, my boy. What happened to you has never happened before to any of us. One For All has evolved and it's got a lot of stuff loaded to it. The Quirk, your Quirk, has gotten stronger. If All For One discovers this, he'll want it more than he ever did and will do the impossible to have it. You too Young Gohan. You might not have a Quirk, but you have something stronger: Saiyan blood.
In this world, many crazy scientists will want to take you so they can create an entire army of hybrid merciless warriors."
All Might turn to face them and finish: "One day, you, and by 'you' I mean both of you, will have to face the Symbol of Evil! I know it's a lot to take in bu-"
"We'll do it." Midoriya's quick reply was unexpected. His master thought it'll take him a while to accept his fate, but it seems it was only a matter of seconds.
"All Might, sensei," joined Gohan, "after training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, we're stronger than we've ever been. If All For One ever decides to challenge us, any of us, it'll be the mistake of his life."
All Might could see the determination that was in their faces. They had a world to protect and they'll do it willingly. There is no doubt. All Might doesn't have a successor for the title of the number #1 Hero and the Symbol of Peace.
He has two.
He smiled, glad that he'll never regret giving One For All to Izuku Midoriya.
"All For One," he thought, "be ready, for the moment you step out of the shadows again, you'll face your doom at the hands of the next symbols of peace."
It was the end of another day at the U.A. Academy. The students now have about 10 days till the Sports Festival.
We can see the Dekusquad walking out of the academy, heading to the station. The brown-haired girl decided to start a discussion with her friends, saying: "So... How are you guys preparing yourselves for the festival?"
"Nothing special," answered Videl, "just training with my dad in his dojo. What about you Tenya?"
"I'm planning to do some laps around the beach," replied the younger brother of Engenium, "My Quirk gives me a boost in speed, so I need to increase my normal speed to become faster and make my kicks more powerful."
"Better also try to create some new moves to surprise your opponents, Iida-Kun," added Midoriya.
"Thank you for the advice, Midoriya. By the way, what are you and Gohan planning to do today?"
"Well, I'm planning to... visit... a relative of mine," answered Gohan.
"And I'm going to accompany him," said Izuku.
"This is a good idea, Son-kun and Midoriya-kun" interrupted Iida, "but didn't you two make some time to train for the festival?"
"We already did train, Iida," The three pupils were confused by the statement of the hybrid Saiyan. And what shocked them more was the rest of the answer, "Midoriya and I have trained enough yesterday. I believe that the two of us are now powerful enough to win the Sports Festival easily. Right, buddy?"
"Y-Yes," replied the green-haired teenager, "Master Vegeta trained us himself, especially for this event. I'm sure that with our current level, it'll be all a piece of cake."
"Y-You gotta be joking," said a dumbfounded Ochako.
"Why?"
"Son Gohan and Izuku Midoriya, have you two lost your minds or something!?" screamed Videl with rage, forcing the two teenagers to take a few steps to the back, "I expected such a silly idea like this to come from that pervert Mineta, but you two of all people!?"
"I honestly have to agree with Videl on this," added Tenya, "Vegeta is truly an amazing hero and trainer and the number #5 hero in Japan. However, training with him for one day is not enough to say that you're now powerful."
"He's right!" said Uraraka, joining the topic, "You shouldn't become arrogant after the U.S.J. incident, you know."
"Trust me, guys," said Gohan, defending himself, "we know what we do. We've trained harder than any of you could imagine."
"But, Gohan-"
"Relax, Iida," added Midoriya, "it's all under control. Just wait till the festival and you'll see what we mean."
"A-Alright then," said Videl, "I-if you think so. But remember that we warned you."
"We will," answered the demi-Saiyan, "What do you think, Todoroki-Kun?" The rest of the group (minus Deku) were surprised by their friend's sudden comment and immediately turned their sights to look behind, only to meet with their classmate, Shoto Todoroki. The fifteen-year-old male stopped in his place, surprised that Gohan did notice him.
"Is there a problem, Todoroki-Kun?" asked the green-haired teenager, "You've been following us for a while, you know. Do you want something from us?"
Shoto didn't at first know what to answer. He had no idea that these two felt his presence the entire time. But if so, why didn't they say anything before now? Did they do it on purpose? However, he quickly pushed these thoughts away and responded with the first excuse he found: "No. Just heading to the station as well. Do you mind?"
"Not at all, Todoroki-kun. As the class representative, I would like to invite you to join us on the way."
"No, thanks," replied Todoroki, "I'd prefer to go alone." Then, he passed through them, making his way to the station. The Dekusquad watched the red-and-white-haired boy move between them coldly, not paying attention to any of them at all.
When there was enough distance between him and the group, Uraraka commented on his action saying: "That was rude of him."
"Yeah," responded Iida strictly, "It's not a good manner to push others out of your way."
"Just ignore him," replied Videl, "Those kinds of people are everywhere. They act coldly with others and think they're superior to them. Right, Gohan."
"Y-Yeah. Forget about him and let's catch the train before it leaves." However, the Saiyan has taken notice of his freckled-faced friend searching for something in his backpack. He approached him and questioned him: "Is there a problem, buddy?"
Midoriya asked back: "Gohan, did you take one of my hero notebooks?"
"Your notebook? No, I haven't."
"Have you lost it, Deku-kun?" said Ochaco.
"I... I think so," replied the teenager with worry, "It's number #13. Perhaps I left it in the classroom. I'll go and search for it."
"Wait," said Videl, catching his attention, "We'll come and help. The faster we look, the faster we get to leave. Right guys?"
"Yeah," responded all three of them. The five pupils then ran back to the academy in hope of finding the missing notebook. Unknown to them, it actually was between the hands of one of their classmates.
Musutafu Train Station, 16:37 p.m.
Standing alone in one of the corners, the youngest son of Endeavor observed the notebook that was in his hands. Nothing out of ordinary. Just a regular notebook. He didn't give a damn piece of care if he stole it. All that mattered, for now, is to know the truth.
What secrets do Midoriya and Son hide from the rest of them?
First, their Quirks are similar; they both increase the user's strength and speed, and both allow them to shout laser beams from their hands, not to mention the strange auras that surround them when powering up. No way this could be just a coincidence. Could they be secretly brothers? The way they treat each other highly confirms this theory. Secondly, the two have a relationship with the number #5 Hero: Prince Vegeta, and the number #1 Hero: All Might. Are these two the secret fathers of Gohan and Izuku respectively? They all share similar powers, so it's a possibility.
Maybe the answers to these questions are under the sections "Gohan" and "My Quirk" in the notebook.
He opened it, preparing for the truth, only to feel it slip out of his hands forcibly. He lifted his head, reading to start a fight with whoever took it, only to freeze seeing a disappointed, but mostly furious, Saiyan staring at him silently. Behind him were Izuku, Ochaco, Iida, and Videl, all of them wearing the face of disappointment in their classmate.
Shit, he was undoubtedly busted.
Gohan was the first to speak: "I don't know how it got between your hands, Todoroki-kun, but keep in mind that stealing is the first step in the road of villains." He then handed it back to his best friend. "Here you go, buddy."
"Shoto Todoroki," said Tenya strictly, "I'm really disappointed in you. You're not just a pupil of U.A., but also a member of Class 1-A. Such an act is not expected from a future respected pro hero."
"Yeah," added Videl, "At first I thought you're a cool guy who just enjoys loneliness. But now, all I see is just another Bakugou."
Lucky for Shoto, the squad's train came at that exact moment, forcing them to end the conversation and get on it, but not before each of them glanced at him, and he could swear he heard them whispering and muttering things about him.
Damn it. He was so close.
In Earth's atmosphere, three beings were observing different parts of Japan, thinking about the mission they've been given.
The first was a short man with purple skin and a white mohawk whore who wore a posh outfit and a pair of yellow earrings.
The second was the tallest out of the three. Appearing as a male with pink skin and long, white hair, he wore an identical outfit to the short one. The only difference was that the latter's outfit was blue while his was blue and red.
The last one appeared as a human with an average height. He wore a golden helmet that covered his entire head except for the eyes, the nose, and the mouth, in addition to a golden suit. He also had purple armor and gloves of the same color.
"So, these are the seventh universe's mortals that we have to work with?" questioned the humanoid.
"In usual circumstances, I would've disagreed against working with them," said the tall man, "but since this is their highness' decision, and since the entire omniverse is now at sake, then we have no choice but to follow the orders."
"I agree," responded the short one, "As gods and Cosmic and Abstract Entities of life, our job is to make sure that life goes on no matter what."
"You're as always right, Kaioshin-sama," replied the pink-skinned male, "Now shall we visit the other universes' chosen ones?"
"Maybe later," replied the third one, "I have planets waiting to be seeded with life force, and a bunch of planets whose time has finally come. I'll see the two of you later, Lord Shin and Master Kibito." And so, the entity opened a portal with his energy and entered it to go who-knows-where.
The short male, now known as Shin, looked at the being in front of him living before giving him farewell.
"See you later, Worlds' Seeder... and Devourer."
