Chapter 34:
Operation find the D-clan begins.
Summary:
Shanks talks to Blueno about sending them to the Grandline. Blueno agrees as he sees this as a way to complete his mission of sending Luffy and Ace to the Marines. Shanks has a bad feeling about how easy it is to convince the CP-9 agent but goes along with it anyway. This is their only known option to get to the Grand Line. Shanks suspicions are proven correct as they land in a very familiar and hostile location.
The last couple of days, Shanks has been on edge. He felt a sort of buzzing around the air making his hair stand on end, feeling restless he went for a walk around the grounds. It started when he bumped into All Might during the student's first day of Special Moves training. Everything seemed fine as he joined Aizawa in watching Izuku and Katsuki showoff their teamwork and special moves. He couldn't lie he felt a little smug while watching them; he had a hand in their greatness.
After watching the fight with Ectoplasm and sticking around to give some pointers to the other students; he pulls All Might aside "Yagi, can I talk to you for a bit."
All Might looks at the red-haired man visible shock on his face "What is it Shanks?"
Shanks doesn't really know how to bring up this topic around so many of their students. He sighs and rubs the back of his neck "nothing, never mind."
All Might studies the man; he might not know the man well; but something is clearly bothering him. He puts his now skinny and frail hand on the other mans shoulder "Come on" and leads him to Aizawa.
"Shota we are gonna take you up on your offer and go relax in the teacher lounge." All Might give Aizawa a look that he hope portrays that he is gonna go talk to Shanks. "Give us a call if anything comes up."
Aizawa nods and turns his attention back to the students. Whatever is plaguing the red-haired man it is not his business to know yet. Aizawa will know when he needs to know.
All Might leads the man to the Lounge, he opens the door and realizes they are alone. He turns to Shanks "Now, talk" he demands firmly.
Shanks sighs "I'm not too sure what I wanted to talk to you about."
All Might gives the man the look that screams don't bullshit me.
Shanks runs a hand through his hair "I have been on edge since Kamino; and I am not sure why." He pauses "I know it is not about AFO or the Villains the boys will be ready for that. I feel something darker more dangerous is coming but I can put my finger on it. There is a buzzing in the air like I'm about to get some really bad news."
"It's unsettling isn't it?" All Might asks, cutting Shanks anxious rambling off. "I can't help but think I am invalid now. I've been sitting as the number 1 hero for so long and now…" All Might glares at nothing "Now I have to depend on the younger heroes to keep the peace. I can feel the people are unsettled. Maybe we are feeling this way because we know the horrors of the world and what lurks in the shadows. How can we expect the students to survive if we barely did." All Might runs his hand through his hair "I know better than most the threat AFO poses. He may be in Tartarus right now, but I can't help but feel he is just binding his time. I don't think we have seen the last of him. And now Shigaraki is a threat that either has AFO or will soon."
"Yea it is unsettling" Shanks begins "All we can really do is prepare them for what is too come and be there for them when they need to be supported."
Before Shanks can say anything else their talk is interrupted by the sound of All Might's phone ringing. All Might blushes and apologizes for the interruption "I received a text from Izuku. He want to know if I am free."
Shanks smiles and nods they can continue their talks later. All Might continues texting Izuku. Soon enough he puts his phone in his pocket and sighs "Izuku and Katsuki are on their way here."
Shanks nods the ultimate duo probably want to talk to All Might about how much power they let out. Since All Might didn't ask him to leave, he will see what is going on before leaving. He doesn't have to wait long as there's a frantic knock on the door. All Might calls a quick come in. Izuku pulls Katsuki into the room; that not unusual Izuku is usually dragging Katsuki around with him. No that not strange, but he can sense Izuku frantic energy and the nervousness radiating off Katsuki. Shanks studies the two but doesn't notice anything strange about their appearance, he raises an eyebrow. Izuku nervously tells them that he believes OFA has merged with Fuji. Katsuki has wolf ears and logically this can only make sense if OFA and Fuji merged to some extent. Shanks has never heard of Devil Fruit behaving like this; but then again this is a different world and soulmates exist here. For all he knows that could play a massive part in why this is all possible. Shanks suggests talking to Fuji about this since the Wolf would surely know.
Shanks shouldn't be surprised Izuku already planned on talk to Fuji. He wanted to talk to the two adults that might now something about this first; Shanks knowing how devil fruits should behave and All Might how should know how OFA behaves. Izuku also plans to talk to OFA to see if they have anything to do with this. Shanks realizes Katsuki wasn't kidding when he said his hearing improved when he caught the subtle shake in Izuku's voice. The growl that tore out of Katsuki's throat was on par with a growl from a fully transformed wolf Izuku.
Shanks sometime forgets that his boys are exactly that; boys. He gets reminded of this fact when Izuku's worries and fear of being a monster rush to the surface. This time it a bit different he isn't worried or scared for himself; no he is scared Katsuki will be view as a monster. He gets reminded of their bond when even though Katsuki tries to grunt off Izuku's worries with his usual bravado; Izuku sees right through it and apologizes.
Shanks interrupts their back and forth asking if anything else is different. Izuku's eyes brighten and takes a chance to tease the explosive teen. Shanks really does try to hold in his laughter at the newest nickname Katsuki as earned himself from the other hothead of the group. All Might breaks into a coughing fit and Izuku looks like he wants to unleash all his flames on the former number 1 hero.
All Might tells them that if OFA has bonded with Fuji then the other quirks inside OFA will start to show themselves. According to All Might the next ability would be Float; since Izuku can already fly All Might tells Katsuki to be on the look out for it. Katsuki tells All Might he can't use the quirk instinctually yet; and asks All Might if they are correct, could he use the quirk without Izuku's blood.
All Might assigns Katsuki homework to meditate and try to talk to the quirk. Izuku suggests that he and Katsuki could meditate together. Apparently, Fuji told him it was possible to bring the other teen into his subspace. Shanks decides Izuku should talk to Fuji first and find out exactly how they are going to pull Katsuki into Izuku's mind. Katsuki expertly catches Izuku as the teen slumps over and the room stays quiet. Shanks knows how noise can startle the one meditating.
They don't need to wait long as Izuku comes back with information. Fuji apparently changed Izuku's soulmate ability so Katsuki can now use his spirit animal. At least that is what Shanks is understanding, All Might looks lost as hell and in any other situation Shanks probably would tease the former hero.
Shanks isn't going to lie having Izuku growl at him warningly is not something he wants to experience again. Shanks takes a mental note never to mention Fuji hurting Katsuki if he wants to walk away next time. Shanks has notice since Izuku found out his soulmate was Katsuki he has always been overprotective of the boy. This trait has only grown in the last ten years. Shanks would normally see a connection like this as a weakness; but he can honestly say his assumptions were wrong in this case. Izuku and Katsuki are strong because they fight together, they protect each other.
Shanks watches as the two slump over as they meditate. He studies Katsuki as the teen twitches, but nothing else is happening. After about thirty minuets he starts to get worried. He pushes his worries away maybe Fuji is explaining everything to Katsuki. He decides to wait another 30 minuets before he is visibly freaking out. Before he can panickily wake the two, Izuku's eye's blink open. He watches Izuku as he wakes Katsuki before the boys turn their focus back to Shanks and All Might. Katsuki still looks a bit disorientated but it only last a few more moments as his focus comes back.
Honestly Shanks would prefer the dazed look in the boys eyes than the hidden panic and fear. Shanks asks them what they have learned. He was not prepared for Izuku's eyes to harden and demand the rest of the pack, Aizawa and Nighteye to be there. All Might doesn't pick up the worried tone under the demand, but Shanks does. Katsuki actually called the former Hero All Might instead of Old Man.
"Trust the Nerd All Might, we need everyone here. Fuji warned us of a threat that makes AFO look like a bug." That buzzing feeling is back with a vengeance, this must have been what that buzzing was warning him about. All Might gasps and panickily shouts questions a mile a minuet to the two boys. Izuku's whimper cuts him off, even going so far as to suggest Nezu being here as well. Shanks listens to the plea and texts everyone to get there.
After 10 minuets or so everyone is in the teachers lounge, all the new additions to their impromptu meeting are wearing varying expressions of confusion, shock and in Shota's case concern as they observe to two shaky teens. The other teens cram as close as possible to Katsuki and Izuku to offer comfort. Nezu opens the floor telling everyone they are sworn to secrecy under the penalty of treason should word get out. Getting agreeing nods from the everyone in the room Nezu opens the floor for Izuku to begin.
Izuku opens by filling everyone in about their secrets. How his quirk is not a quirk. How he found Shanks, Luffy and Ace. How OFA is his real quirk. How he can share OFA with Katsuki. He answers Nezu's questions 100% honestly. Shanks knows that Izuku would take these secrets to his grave; so the threat from Fuji must be so much worse than these secrets. He tells Nezu about Fuji being a Devil fruit not a quirk how Shanks, Ace and Luffy are not from this world. When finished answering all of Nezu's inquiries he fills them in on why they came to talk to Shanks, and All Might. He told them about Katsuki's wolf form, and that Fuji told him this was always meant to happen. He even told them about bringing Katsuki into his mind to talk with Fuji. Izuku briefly explained that Katsuki's wolf would be a warrior type with a possible fire affinity. He explained that Fuji is now bound to his Soul, this was always supposed to happen. He is shocked that apparently it was Always supposed to happen the Shanks, Luffy and Ace were always meant to come here. Apparently, Fuji knew for 900 years he would be consumed by Izuku and be bound to him.
Izuku explained that his and Katsuki's soulmate bond goes far beyond anything they can comprehend. No other soulmate pair will reach the heights they will; they are bound for all of eternity. Apparently, Katsuki was always meant to access his spirit wolf, OFA sped up the process; in order to defeat a great evil. Shanks watches Izuku's expressions turn darker and darker as he looked at them face hard as stone as he quoted what Fuji told him.
"AFO is nothing, but a bug compared to what we will face"
Shanks visibly shivers and a quick look around he isn't the only one. AFO is terrifying, he almost ended All Might and Shanks. Katsuki takes over explaining after All Might's outburst. They are unsure of what form this evil will take but the threat is; this evil is capable of destroying entire worlds. Fuji's home fell to this in the form of Armageddon. Fuji warned that a darkness is coming and anyone with evil in their hearts will band together with the demons. The look Izuku gives Shanks makes the man shiver again.
Shanks was not expecting Izuku to state "Shanks, he said the void century was caused by this." Shanks gaped in shock as he listens to Izuku's brief recount of what they know of the Void Century. Shanks eyes widen as Izuku tells him his history is false that the Celestial Dragons were not descendants of the 20 kings; but rather the descendants of the 20 generals of the calamity. His shock only increased into a stupefied silence as Izuku spoke of a history he shouldn't know. He spoke of people he shouldn't know. He spoke of the celestials wanting Ace and Luffy not because of their father; but because they are the descendants of JOYBOY. Shanks heard about JOYBOY from what his Captain read on the Poneglyphs; he knew Rodger was keeping something hidden in his translations, but he had no idea it was this serious. Shanks had no choice but to head the Warning from Fuji, Izuku knew so much more than he should about his world. Izuku even knew the current descendants of the D-clan both alive and Dead. He said they would need their help. Fuji gave a message to Izuku for Shanks, saying it is located at the end of the world. Shanks can only think of Raftel.
Shanks tells them he knows where Raftel is, but he doesn't know of a way to get there from here. He tells them there is a way to the Grandline, but they will need the help of a current prisoner. Nezu nods to convey he will inform the detective. As much as Shanks wants to save his home, he knows he can't just abandon this world. He holds back the growl that threatens to escape him at Hawks' question. He does kind of understand where the younger man is coming from. If it was another world beside this one or the Grandline he would probably question the same thing. Why should they care?
Izuku answers this question with a growl of "besides the fact that we are heroes; we will need them here to help us. It won't be just villains to fight when this happens, anyone with evil in their hearts will band together. Heroes that are corrupt, Civilians that are greedy or plagued with negative emotions, the weak minded, and demons will be a fraction of what we may need to face. If we want to survive, we are going to need all the help we can get. Fuji didn't just mention the D clan, there are others in the Grandline we will need. Shanks he mentioned that your homeland that was involved in a purge was the land of the Uzumaki. They specialized in sealing and can unseal the souls in the Devil Fruits. Fuji told me about 9 of his kin that have been forcibly sealed into living vessels their spirits cry and live in agony as they are lashing out against their prisons. He said if you can unseal them Me and Fuji can repair and heal their souls. That will give us at least 10 spirit gods that will turn the tide in our favor."
No one present can disagree with Izuku's logic so the next question is how much time do the have. Wow why didn't Shanks think of that. The knowledge that Fuji doesn't know that all he knows is AFO is just a pawn hits hard. Izuku asks Nighteye to use his quirk on him so they can get a timeline. Logically Nighteye agrees even though he hates to see how people die; he used to try to save people and change the fates he has seen, but the outcome was always the same.
Shanks feels a little relief when Nighteye says they have at least a few years before the first signs start to appear. Nighteye warns that they will not be able to win if they are missing any of the key players. They need the D-Clan, the kin of Fuji, an army of Elemental users and pretty much anyone else they can get. They will need to start amassing their army as soon as possible; there is no telling what could happen if they wait too long.
Nighteye states this as well, and this raises concerns, they can't let the boy's skip too much school it would surely be noticed. They can't let the Hero Association know about any of this. Another question is raised how are they going to hide an army? All Might states he will buy an Island and Donate it to U.A. as a training facility. Nezu puts his brilliant mind to work coming up with a plan to make sure the location stays confidential even from the press and the hero Association. The meeting finishes soon after that.
Shanks spends the next night going over who he knows from the Grandline. He can already count on his former crew if they are still alive, and possibly Whitebeard as he knows the man is looking for Ace. He can contact the Dark King and have him train the others. At the very least The Dark King will listen to Fuji since Fuji used to be his Captains devil fruit. He will tell Dragon as well that he has a way to stop the corruption, but he will need their help. Mihawk will be a great help if he can convince the man to wake long enough to swing his sword. Jimbe as well he will be a powerful asset. He briefly considers the other emperors but quickly throws that idea away as they would sooner watch the world burn rather than try to save it. He will take a look at the current bounties and maybe go to Shakky for information on the new rookies. He might be able to convince Buggy to help to with promises of Fame if they win. Playing to the clowns ego for fame and fortune. He could also sweeten the deal by telling him this world has oceans with treasure and no pirates to find it.
The next time he is told to meet in the conference room he was expecting a clue on where to start looking for Fuji's Kin. Izuku retelling his nightmares in excruciating detail pulled on something deep inside Shanks. What surprises Shanks though is the names he hears in his dream. Names Izuku shouldn't know. Shanks questions this and is shocked when Izuku can give him accurate descriptions of their abilities and looks. This proves this is some sort vision and it hold some truth. He can't tell if he is accurate with the Elemental's because he has never seen them or know their abilities. Shanks decides either way it is a good place to start; Izuku was right about the Pirates so Shanks should trust that he is right about these people as well.
After the meeting with the others; Shanks, Aizawa and the detective head to the police station to talk with the prisoner. Shanks doesn't know what he can do to convince Blueno to send them to the Grandline, but he has to try. He will see what Blueno will want in exchange for his services.
Walking into the station the Detective leads Shanks and Aizawa to the prisoners cell. Shanks approaches the cell and clears his throat.
Blueno looks at him clearly tired "Shanks?"
"Blueno." Shanks greets back "I am prepared to offer you what ever is in my means for you to grant this request."
This piques Blueno's interest "and what is this request?"
"I need you to send a group of us to the Grandline."
Blueno's eyes light up crazily. He can not believe the man is just asking him to send them to the Grandline. Depending who he is sending would fulfill his mission. "Who will I be sending?"
"Myself, Luffy, Ace, Katsuki, Izuku, Shoto, Kirishima, Denki, and Aizawa"
Blueno tries to hide his grin that is mostly everyone Lucci was targeting. If he can pick the place, he sends them too; then this is a dream come true. "If I can chose where I send you. I agree."
Shanks looks skeptical, but he sighs it doesn't matter where they get sent this is their only way into the Grandline. "Fine" Shanks agrees reluctantly.
Blueno smirks "When will I be doing this great service."
"Tomorrow"
Blueno's smirk widens "I can't wait"
Shanks and Aizawa leave the cell area. Aizawa speaks up "Are you sure this is a good idea? He could send us anywhere."
Shanks considers this "That is true, but he has had to have been there before. The only place I am worried about is Impel Down. But Blueno has never been there before. I believe he will send us to Marine Ford. We may need to fight our way out." Shanks sighs "It is our only choice and I believe our boys are strong enough to handle escaping Marine Ford."
Aizawa glares he knows Shanks is right. But he doesn't like to be in the unknown. Aizawa will be essentially powerless in the Grandline, well except his Haki. If shanks is the standard in strength, he doesn't know how they will escape. Aizawa remembers if anything Izuku can fly them to safety. "I suppose you are right"
"Is All Might covering your classes for now" Shanks Asks.
"Yes, the official word is I am starting an undercover mission tomorrow night." Aizawa states in a drawl.
"Did you write down the lesson plans for All Might?"
"Yes I did," Aizawa grumbles "I can't help but think the big Oaf will still some how fuck it up."
"Maybe we should have someone Baby sit him?" Shanks smirks.
"Who I don't trust Hawks either." Aizawa states with a small pout.
"What about Nighteye?" Shanks asks with a demonic smirk.
Aizawa wears a matching one "If anyone can keep that lumbering idiot in line its Nighteye. He is also terrified of Gran Torino"
"The little old man that helped us in the raid?" Shanks asks
"Yup that the one." Aizawa smirk is absolutely feral "He used to be All Might's teacher."
Shanks laughs loudly "I don't blame him for being terrified then. A good teacher is someone who terrifies his students. I still shiver whenever I think of the Dark King." Shanks Shivers dramatically.
"Anyways, we should let the boys know to pack for a mission that will last a week. Hopefully we can get everything done by then. I know some of the boys have their temp licenses, but they are still required to go to the provisional exam." Aizawa adds.
"How are their licenses different then the other ones?"
"Basically the licenses they have right now is a step down from the provisional licenses. The provisional licenses will allow them to do missions during school as long as their grades don't suffer, and they can catch up easily enough." Aizawa drawls "It will be helpful to have if they need to miss school while amassing their army. As long as you or All Might are with them, we can say that are doing international missions with your Agencies." Aizawa explains. "If they miss too many days, they can make up the attendance requirements and any missed exams during breaks and holidays."
"That is extremely useful" Shanks stated, "What happens if we don't get them back in time for the exam?"
Aizawa sighs "They will have to wait until June to take the exam."
Shanks nods they need the licenses to continue to amass their army "I understand we will set our times, so we are back a week from today. We can always head back after the exams. If Fuji is correct and the passage is at the end of the world. It has to be a two-way entrance. We just don't know where that is here. When we get back, we will know."
Aizawa nods as they head into the dorm making their way to the fifth floor. Aizawa knocks on the Suite door.
Ace answers the door "Aizawa sensei? What's up?"
"Can I come in I need to speak with all of you." Aizawa asks.
Ace opens the door wider, Aizawa lets himself in "Can you get the others?"
Ace nods he grabs Shoto first, then he knocks on Luffy's door Luffy and Kirishima enter their living room area hastily dressed. Ace pauses in front of Izuku's door. Aizawa raises a questioning brow Ace sighs "They retreated into their rooms after the meeting to go meditate."
Aizawa nods "Enter slowly if they are still meditating let me know."
Ace enters the room careful not to make any unnecessary noise. He peaks into the room and smiles softly when his eyes land on the cuddling forms of Izuku and Katsuki. Ace stumbles back as an orange glow takes over Katsuki. He tries to contain his shout of surprise instead he lets out a squeak. Aizawa enters the room his quirk is active, but the glow remains. He tries to wake the two but again nothing happens. He calls the others into the room; they will wait here until the two boys wake. Aizawa wants to make sure he stays close.
After what seemed like hours but was maybe 30 minuets the glow recedes from Katsuki's form. Aizawa studies the two and besides Katsuki looking a bit more feral than before he doesn't seem to be in danger. They only have to wait another 15 minuets or so for the boys to start stirring. The two have yet to realize anyone else is in the room, when all of a sudden, a growl rips out of Katsuki. Izuku tenses and sniffs around the room he mutters "It's ok Kacchan, it's just pack."
Katsuki lets out a grunt and opens his eyes. The first thing Aizawa notices is there is a distinct glow similar to Izuku's eyes but red in color. The shape of the eyes is a bit more wolf like as well. Katsuki sits up and the blanket falls off his shoulders revealing the teens bare chests. Aizawa gasps and draws attention to himself as he stares that the scar like markings covering Katsuki's torso. The scars glow a reddish orange color similar to that color of burning coals. Giving the boy enough time to get out of their daze Aizawa clears his throat "Problem Children?"
Katsuki's ears droop and a small whine ripples from his chest. Then he growls in frustration. Aizawa doesn't know what is going on so he asks, "you seem to have a few more wolf features Katsuki" He doesn't mean for it to sound accusing but that's how it comes out.
Izuku's eyes are soft as he looks at Katsuki then he turns his eyes to the group; instead of the soft eye's he usually gives the group his eye's now have a distinct protective edge to them "Kacchan's wolf woke up while we were talking to OFA" he explains.
Luffy and Kirishima practically have stars in their eyes as they excitedly bounce over to Izuku's and Katsuki's bed. "Do you know what Kats' wolf form is."
Izuku studies them and deems them not a threat; he realizes his protectiveness over Kacchan is making him act irrational. Izuku's eyes soften as he realizes pack won't hurt Kacchan "Sorry" He mumbles out "Yes we know who Kacchan's wolf Spirit is." He looks over at Shoto "Shoto? Can you pass me the laptop."
Shoto grabs the laptop next to him and hands it to Izuku. Izuku types something into the search engine and turns the screen around. "He wolf form is actually Fenrir."
Shoto gasps "The Norse Beast of Destruction?"
A warning growl rips through the room, it is unclear if it came from Izuku or Katsuki. "Yes, almost everything in the legend is true, except Ragnarök never happened. Fenrir was despised by the gods and imprisoned wrongfully because they were afraid of his strength. They imprisoned him using impossible ingredients to make an impossible chain. Fuji broke Fenrir out of his prison and healed his betrayed heart and wounds. Fenrir became loyal to only Fuji and they were separated 900 years ago. Fenrir searched for Fuji until he passed away. Somehow he became Kacchan's spirit animal."
Shoto looks down in guilt "I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend I was just shocked is all."
Katsuki grunts "'s ok Icy-Hot"
Ace steps up "I knew Blasty's wolf would be bad ass, but I didn't expect he would be a legend"
Katsuki snaps "Of course he would be a legend" He smirks looking decidedly more feral "I'm that awesome"
"Of course Kacchan is the best" Izuku praises.
Much to Katsuki's horror his tail wags with the praise. Loud laughs erupt from the room as Katsuki blushes and his ears droop. He growls trying to sound threatening but if judging by the idiots still laughing, he falls a bit short. "Stop Laughing Idiots." He rages popping explosions from his hands. "not a damn word of this. You hear me?" He threatens.
The group decides they have probably teased Katsuki enough, they want to live another day so the wisely nod and keep their mounts shut.
"I think you look cool, Bakugo." Shoto states eyes turning a bit soft. Ace nods his agreement.
"Does this mean we get to cuddle with Fenrir too?" Denki asks voice filled with hope.
Katsuki huffs and Izuku laughs "I don't think that would be a good idea Denki"
"Huh? Why not?" Denki pouts.
Izuku laughs harder "Because I think Fenrir is the only being that can grumpier than Kacchan"
Katsuki rages "You take that back Nerd!" Katsuki looks ready to pounce on Izuku.
"But it's true Kacchan." Izuku laughs happily "the first thing you did was yell at Fenrir. He called you a brat."
"I thought he was going to eat you. Of course I yelled at him." Katsuki grumbles "Besides the overgrown mutt needed to learn no one is allowed to hurt you."
Izuku's face softens "Fenrir was confused and angry, Fuji calmed him down though. He only wanted to hurt me because he thought I was keeping Fuji prisoner. He wanted to free his friend. I don't blame him for that. He is protective of what is his; just like Kacchan."
Katsuki whimpers "I would never hurt you though."
"I know that" Izuku smiles "And now Fenrir knows that too. Don't worry so much Kacchan. I don't believe you are suddenly going to go feral and attack me." Izuku hugs Katsuki close to him "I trust you, so I trust Fenrir. When he first came out and wanted to kill me, I didn't sense any malice from him only the overwhelming urge to protect."
Katsuki whimpers "Thank you Nerd."
Aizawa cuts in "I need to talk to you all." This grabs everyone's attention away from Katsuki. "Shanks and I have made plans to go to the Grandline tomorrow. You are all to pack for a week. We leave tomorrow morning before classes start."
"That soon?" Izuku voices.
"Yes" Aizawa confirms "we will do as much as we can in the week we have and be back here in time for the exam. Shanks believes that if the way out is at Raftel then it must be a two-way street. There has to be a point here we just don't know where that is. We will be able to go back to the Grandline once we find it."
"Ok Sensei" Izuku agrees "What time are we leaving tomorrow? Do we have a cover story?"
"Since most of you have temp licenses, Nezu is putting us on an undercover mission internationally to investigate the rising threat levels around the world." Aizawa says "That is the official story."
"If you are coming then… who is going to be teaching the class." Katsuki asks.
"All Might and Nighteye" Aizawa states simply "possibly Gran Torino as well if Nighteye has any trouble keeping the lumbering idiot in check."
"I see" States Izuku. The other boys nod.
"One more thing" Aizawa starts "Be prepared to fight or flee as soon as we arrive. Our methods of getting there are not reliable. The villain that attacked Luffy and Ace is called CP-9 they are originally from the Grandline as well. They got here using Blueno's door fruit. Shanks believes he might send us to a dangerous location."
"Got it." Izuku starts "If we have to fight fine, I think it would be good practice to let go." He finishes with a feral smirk.
Katsuki matches Izuku smirk with one of his own "I like how you think Nerd! I have a new wolf form I want to experiment with."
Izuku eye sparkle "That's right Kacchan, and if anything goes wrong like the first time, I transformed. Fuji can help keep Fenrir at bay."
Katsuki nods as much as he wants to deny help working with Fenrir; he remembers how hard his nerd had to fight so he wouldn't go berserk. "Thanks Nerd."
"Kacchan will be fine" Izuku smiles fondly "I promise. I think Kacchan is strong enough to hold Fenrir back, but just in case I want you to know I'll be fighting with you."
Katsuki nods he turns his gaze to Aizawa "Anything else?"
Aizawa sighs "Have your bags packed and be ready to go by 8am tomorrow. I feel like I don't need to say this but don't tell anyone where you are going. If anyone asks you are going to the Red Force to train"
"Got it sensei" The boys sound off.
With that Aizawa excuses himself so he can pack. Kaminari leaves to go pack as well. Katsuki told everyone don't worry about food since Katsuki can cook while they are there. He can hunt if he has to as well, or they can fish. The other 4 boys leave Izuku's and Katsuki's room and head to their own to pack.
Izuku stands from the bed and walks to their closets. "I don't think we will need our Hero gear, but it might be a good idea to take your gauntlets with you. I can make sure we have heal packs and I can make my heal suits if we have to fight. We don't want to pack too much since we might be entering a battlefield when we get there. We don't want the extra weight to slow us down."
"Let's bring a couple of pairs of clothing, I'm sure we will meet up with Shanks crew at some point we can wash our clothes then. What ever else we need they should have." Katsuki supplies.
"Kacchan is right." Izuku states "Should we just pack one bag then for the two of us."
Katsuki nods and stands up to help Izuku pack. They finish grabbing what they think they would need for this upcoming week. When everything is set out for tomorrow, Katsuki leads Izuku's back to the bed. It is still pretty early Katsuki want to spend these few quiet moments before the chaos hits with his Nerd. Who knows when they will get another few moments to be like this again.
He pushes Izuku down onto the bed, and hovers over the Nerd. He pins his prey to the bed and traps his arms above his head. Izuku shivers at the predatory gaze Katsuki levels him with. Katsuki smirks ferally as Izuku submits to him, this pleases Katsuki's baser instincts. He captures Izuku's lips hungrily, like a starving mans last meal; he devours the teen. Katsuki groans at the moan Izuku releases. Katsuki bites and nibbles and licks Izuku's lips gaining entrance to the teens mouth. Their tongues dance passionately and sensually to match the tempo playing in their chests.
The need for air pulls Katsuki away from his feast; well not entirely. He will allow his nerd to catch his breath as he torments the rest of his body. He trails kisses down Izuku's jaw to his neck. He layers Izuku's throat with nips and bites his instincts want him to mark, claim and bite his beautiful Nerd. He already knows they are claimed to each other, but he guess Fenrir also wants to claim this brave soul as his. He loses control for a second a bites a little harder than necessary in the junction of Izuku's shoulder and neck. He regains control and guilt fills his heart, these moments are not about inflicting pain on the Nerd they are supposed to be healing and expressing their love. He hears the most beautiful sound from the Nerd that causes him to release his hold on the teens neck. He leans back and stares down at Izuku wide eyed and shocked. Is it possible the Nerd actually liked being bit? He studies Izuku's face and takes in the flushed face, blown pupils, and parted swollen lips as the teen whimpers and writhes beneath him.
"Kacchan" Izuku's voice sounds wrecked.
"Did you like that Nerd?" Katsuki's voice is a more of a please growl than usual. It does something to Izuku as the teen bucks his hips up seeking friction while whimpering and whining, begging and pleading for Katsuki to do something.
"Please Kacchan." The nerd's whine is broken and needy. Katsuki wants to cave immediately but he also wants to tease the nerd a bit. Izuku didn't even realize his wrists were released. Katsuki grinned and leaned to grab the bottle out of their drawer. He works Izuku out of his shirt while peppering kisses down his chest and abs. He pays special attention to his nerds chest area. Playing Izuku's body like a fiddle. He traces a path of kisses to one of Izuku's nipples, while he uses one of his hands to lightly trace a random pattern to Izuku's neglected nipple. His free hand lightly brushes against Izuku's hardening cock. Izuku bucks at the stimulation causing Katsuki to add more pressure.
"Kacchan" Izuku moans needy. "more please Kacchan, I need…" he babbles.
Katsuki smirks against the Nerds abused nipple he releases the bud and blows cool air against it. Izuku shivers and whines at the pleasure. Katsuki looks at his nerd "You are so beautiful when you are begging under me." Izuku whines and writhes against Katsuki looking for more friction. Katsuki grins "Tell me Nerd" he whispers into Izuku's ear "What do you want me to do" Izuku whimpers and babbles but Katsuki pretends he can't understand. He smirks and runs his fingers just barely under the waist band of Izuku's sweats. Izuku shivers and bucks trying to get Katsuki to touch lower. Katsuki slowly moves his hand up toward Izuku's firm chest "Do you want my attention here?" Katsuki asks huskily.
"Kacchan" Izuku whines "I- I need you."
Katsuki groans and prompts his Nerd to lift his hips so he can slide the nerds sweats off. Katsuki takes a moment or two to admire the beauty of Izuku's naked body. Katsuki absentmindedly trails his fingers up and down the nerds shaft. His thumb brushes against the head and catches a bit of precum. Izuku moans "Kacchan please, oh god please more." He begs and snaps Katsuki out of his admiration of the nerds body. Katsuki smiles he has teased the nerd enough; he places soft kisses down Izuku's stomach. Before he gets to his prize, he grabs the bottle of lube and lathers his fingers generously. Using Izuku's demonstration from a couple of nights ago; he knows not to go to fast. He closes his lips around the head of Izuku's cock just as he lightly rubs Izuku's entrance with his lubed fingers. He circles and strokes the hole and Izuku moans and thrashes under him. Whether he is trying to buck into Katsuki's mouth or onto his fingers Katsuki isn't sure. He sinks further onto Izuku's cock and he adds a little more pressure to his hole. One lubed finger enters Izuku slowly, his hole twitching around the digit. Izuku moans and sobs at the intrusion causing Katsuki to look at his face. Izuku face is flushed red, his mouth lolled open, his features twisted in pleasure. He slowly moves his finger around opening the teen up. He wonders how far Izuku would let him go tonight.
As Izuku's hole loosens around his finger he slowly adds a second one, both fingers fully inserted in the nerd he curls his fingers up. He is rewarded with a wail of pleasure and bucking hips trying to match his thrusting fingers Izuku's broken moan of "Kacchan more" has Katsuki adding the third finger. Katsuki can tell the nerd wants to cum but he is holding himself back. Katsuki sucks Izuku cock like a treat as Izuku wails and still moans for more.
Katsuki releases Izuku's cock and stares down at the Nerd. "Tell Me. What do you need."
Izuku's moans are broken and wrecked as he begs "Kacchan I- I- need, Kacchan please."
Katsuki can pick up the subtle frustration coming from the Nerd as he tries to tell Katsuki what he needs. He grips the base of Izuku's cock to stop him from cumming "Do you need to cum already?" He smiles fondly. Izuku whines and babbles some more. Katsuki smiles as the frantic edge of emotion and desire to cum has faded so Izuku can finally tell him what he wants. "I won't let you cum until you tell me what you need."
Izuku whines again "No please Kacchan please. I need… I need."
Katsuki places feather light kisses on Izuku's flushed cheeks "It's ok. My beautiful Nerd. Let me take care of you."
"Please Kacchan" Izuku whimpers.
"I can't do that if you don't tell me what you need." Katsuki smiles softly at the nerd. His voices drops a octave lower and laced with a growl "So tell me Nerd. What do you need?"
With Katsuki's fingers still inside the nerd and around the base of his cock Katsuki can feel the way Izuku twitches at the sound of his voice. He wiggles his fingers and slowly pulls out his fingers. Izuku cries "No please Kacchan, I need you."
Katsuki laughs softly at the Nerds neediness "Shh Nerd, I am only putting more lube on my fingers." Izuku visibly relaxes again as this information sinks into his fogged brain. Katsuki's relubed fingers slide easily back into Izuku.
"Kacchan please I need more…. I need you." Izuku pleads "I need Kacchan."
Katsuki thinks he knows what Izuku is begging him for, but he wants to be completely sure "Do you want my cock?" Punctuated with a firm thrust of his fingers into Izuku's prostate.
Izuku Wails "Yes Kacchan please I need you."
Katsuki tsks the nerd has still not clarified how he wants him. For all Katsuki knows Izuku could want to suck his dick while Katsuki continues to finger him. "Does my Nerd want to touch my cock?"
Izuku shakes his head "No Kacchan. I need more."
"So you want me in your mouth?" Katsuki asks huskily rubbing circles against his prostate. "Or does my beautiful Nerd want me some where else." He firmly presses his fingers deeper "Some where deeper?"
Izuku clenches and Katsuki can sense the excitement rolling off Izuku in waves. Izuku moans "I want Kacchan deeper."
Katsuki smiles "We have a mission tomorrow. You might regret this."
Izuku whines thinking Katsuki is going to stop his eyes blown wide "I need Kacchan Inside. Please Kacchan. Please.
Katsuki smirks and slowly pulls his fingers out of Izuku's prepped hole. He shifts onto his knees and leans back taking a second to admire his work on the Nerd. He grabs the lube and generously coats himself with it. He lines himself up to Izuku's entrance probing his lubed hole he pauses "Are you sure, are you ready Nerd? I don't want to hurt you."
Izuku's eyes clear of the lust and want as he studies Katsuki's face he raises a hand that he has just realized is not being held down and reaches for Katsuki. He grips Katsuki's shirt and pulls him toward him. He kisses Katsuki softly and whispers "I've needed Kacchan for a long time. I am ready for this. I want this." Izuku smiles warmly "Do you Kacchan? Don't you want to be inside me? Don't you want me to cum on your cock as you fill me?"
Katsuki groans "Oh god Nerd. More than anything. I want to so bad."
Izuku smirks "Then what are you waiting for, Kacchan? Take me."
Welp that is all Katsuki needed to hear as he slowly pushes inside Izuku. He groans as he slowly sheaths himself into his soulmate, the teen he loves with everything he has, who loves him unconditionally, his Nerd. It takes every bit of control Katsuki can muster not to plunge immediately into the tight wet overwhelming heat of Izuku's ass. He has slowly and torturously seated himself fully inside the nerd. He lets out a groan, as Izuku pants and moans. He gives Izuku a moment to get used to the intrusion and starts with a slow experimental roll of his hips grinding into Izuku. Oh god the sounds Izuku is letting out are intoxicating.
"Fuck, nerd" Katsuki groans breathlessly "Your so tight Nerd."
"Kacchan" Izuku moans "Please move Kacchan."
Katsuki slowly pulls his length out immediately missing the tight warmth of Izuku's ass clenching on his dick. He pushes back in a little faster than the first time but still bordering on torturous. He slowly picks up speed working Izuku into a frenzy of begging, pleading, and whimpering moans.
"Kacchan please faster." Izuku is begging "Please Kacchan Please."
Katsuki leans back a bit and grips the back of Izuku's thighs tightly, he pulls out until only the head remains inside and pushes Izuku's thighs, so the nerds knees are touching his chest. He slams back in drawing a choked scream from the wailing nerd.
"Oh god Kacchan… ahh so …so ahh good…" Izuku moans brokenly.
This new angle has Katsuki slamming in deeper into Izuku. He slowly pulls back again keeping his thrusts torturously slow and breathtakingly hard; punching the breath out of Izuku. His control is breaking as he wants; no needs to claim the inside of his Nerd. He wants Izuku to feel him as deep inside as he can get. He pushes against Izuku's thighs practically folding the teen in half and continues slamming into the pliant body beneath him. He slams into Izuku's prostate and the reaction is immediate Izuku screams his pleasure and clenches so hard on Katsuki it is borderline painful. "You like that nerd? Can you feel how deep inside you I am? You take me so well. So good Nerd. So tight." He asks and talks to Izuku knowing the affect his voice has on the Nerd.
Izuku clenches, writhes and moans "Yes Kacchan" Izuku is drooling and breathless "Ahh Kac-chan so deep Kacchan. Feels so good ahh." Izuku babbles and praises Katsuki. "Kacchan please … ah oh god Kacchan."
Hearing his nerd beg for him again he smirks ferally "What do you need Nerd. Tell me" he commands.
Izuku whimpers "I ahh I need ahh Kacchan … harder… I can't please Kacchan faster"
Katsuki groans and obeys the plea for him to go harder and faster. He picks up the pace ruthlessly slamming into Izuku's prostate with the force and speed of a jack hammer. Sweat glistens on Izuku and pours down his face; sweat is gathering at his palms. He needs to be careful if he gets too excited, he could hurt Izuku. This is a fleeting thought as by the time he realized his palms are smoking he his startled by the keen Izuku lets out. Of- fucking course the nerd would love a bit of pain being a healer he is used to it. He tests this theory by letting small explosions pop from his palms; he moans at the keening sounds of pleasure that erupt from the nerd. "Oh you like that. Do you like the idea of me branding you Nerd?"
"Yes Kacchan" Izuku keens "please Kacchan I need that"
Katsuki lets a couple small explosions pop on Izuku's milky thighs "You want me to mark your beautiful skin with my quirk. If only there was a way to make it stay so it doesn't heal. Would you like that if I branded you so every time you sat down you would remember this."
"Oh god yes Kacchan" Izuku screams
Katsuki pounds harder and faster into Izuku while continuously letting small explosions connect with his thighs. Katsuki looks down at Izuku's thighs and is shocked he doesn't see any green flames healing the bright pink flesh. Lost in pleasure Katsuki's shock doesn't stay too long Izuku is probably holding the flames back and will heal the damage after. Katsuki suddenly wants to see his Nerd on his hands and knees with his face pressed into the mattress.
Izuku whimpers as Katsuki pulls out. Before Izuku can whine a single syllable of complaint Katsuki growls "Turn around". Katsuki picks up the shiver of excitement Izuku lets out at being ordered around. Katsuki has Izuku's complete trust, Izuku has freely given himself to Katsuki; for him to take control. For Katsuki to clear his mind; even if it is only for the time they are connected. Katsuki understands it has been a stressful couple of days Izuku doesn't want to think. Katsuki is perfectly fine with this; all Izuku needs to think about is how much he needs Katsuki's cock in him. Izuku is on his knees, face down into the pillows, and ass presented to Katsuki. Katsuki groans at the sight he wants mark those beautiful firm globes of flesh with his teeth, quirks and hands. He kisses Izuku down his spine and places two semi hard bites on Izuku's perfect ass; one on each cheek. Izuku muffles his impatient cries at not being filled inside the pillow. Katsuki then give his Nerd a couple of firm spanks; watching amazed as Izuku bows his back and pushes his ass impossibly higher. Katsuki smirks, he is done playing. He lines himself up with Izuku's entrance he thrusts in hard and fast straight into his prostate. As he bottoms out, he lets two explosions out from his palm singing the flesh of Izuku's ass cheeks.
"Oh god Kacchan" Izuku fucking wails. "oh god please Kacchan please more Kacchan." He cries as he begs.
Katsuki pulls all the way out again and thrust harder and faster into his Nerd prostate again; accompanied with a couple explosions as he bottoms out again. Izuku clenches around him as he wails his praises.
"So good Kacchan, oh god Kacchan so good." He sobs brokenly. "So close Kacchan. Please" The nerd begs.
"Does my nerd want to Cum?" Katsuki asks while he continues to ruthlessly slam into Izuku's clenching and twitching hole.
"Yes Kacchan" Izuku answers breathlessly "Please let me Cum."
"Not yet my Nerd." Katsuki commands knowing Izuku will like this. He wants to hear Izuku beg for it some more. He also wants to see Izuku's face as Katsuki unravels him. He gives a couple more thrusts into the Nerd's prostate. Shit he himself is not going to last much longer, he pulls out again and flips Izuku over. Pushing his thighs over his shoulders so he can lean in and kiss his nerd. Despite the rough thrust back into Izuku; Katsuki kisses him slowly, passionately showing the nerd how much he loves, cherishes and needs him show through. Katsuki has his hands on Izuku's hips where he squeeze the flesh there. He gives Izuku a few more hard thrusts aiming deeper every time sliding against the nerds prostate. He is so close, but he won't give in until the nerd does. He pushes himself onto his knees again and wraps his hands around Izuku's thighs. He gives a particularly hard thrust against Izuku's abused prostate and brands his thighs with a bit stronger explosion. Izuku clenches around him hard and cums with a wail of "Kacchan". Katsuki watches Izuku's face his back is bowed, his jaw wide open, eyes are rolled into the back of Izuku's head. Katsuki continues his ruthless pounding into the pliant body through the shockwaves of the Nerds orgasm. Izuku zones back in, eyes bright and soft and watching Katsuki in a high daze.
Katsuki pushes him to the edge of over stimulation as he chases his own high. Not faltering in his pace as he continues to abuse the teens overstimulated prostate. Katsuki would feel bad thinking he is hurting his nerd but Izuku is hard again and chanting his name in a string of whiney moans.
Katsuki can feel his orgasm is coming he is teetering on the edge. His thrust become frantic, harder and faster as he reaches his end. Just before Katsuki can cum he aims one last hard thrust at the teens prostate and brands Izuku's hips with a slightly stronger than intended explosion. He cums right into the Nerd prostate. The explosions to Izuku's hips combined with the power of the thrust against his over stimulated prostate and the force of Katsuki's own orgasm causes Izuku to cum again with another beautiful choked out "Kacchan". Katsuki rides his high pushing his cum deeper inside the nerd, not ready to leave the warmth just yet; he just lazily grinds into the nerds wet abused ass.
Katsuki comes down from his high hearing Izuku whimper painfully. He notices that during his orgasm he has collapsed onto his Nerd. He winces as he pulls himself up; he looks at Izuku and sees tears in his eyes "Nerd? Are you ok?" Katsuki asks voices laced with a soft panic.
"Kacchan" Izuku sobs "it hurts."
Katsuki's eyes widen in realization he just over stimulated his Nerd into a second orgasm and collapsed on him. He slowly pulls out not wanting to hurt him anymore. Izuku winces, but Katsuki notices Izuku's healing fire is not activating.
"Why aren't you healing Nerd?" Katsuki asks worriedly.
"Don't wanna" Izuku slurs.
"Why not?" Katsuki asks not sure if he should be angry or curious.
"Want the marks to heal naturally." Izuku tries to explain.
Katsuki studies Izuku's body looking at all the areas he has marked and winces he was too rough for their first time. They have a mission tomorrow; Izuku cannot be sore because he doesn't want to lose the marks. "We have a mission tomorrow. I don't want you to be sore."
Izuku pouts he knows he should heal himself, but he wants the marks to stay for a bit, "Kacchan" Izuku slurs quietly. "I'll heal myself in the morning before we have to leave."
"Why not now?" Katsuki demands.
"Because as long as I feel the soreness and slight sting my thoughts are quiet" Izuku tried again to explain. "Kacchan please, even if it is just for tonight."
"Fine just for tonight" Katsuki relents "Promise me you will heal all the pain and soreness in the morning"
"I promise Kacchan" Izuku slurs sleepily.
Katsuki untangles himself from the nerd, they need to clean up. He puts on his sweats and heads into the common area to get a warm washcloth. He realizes the other teens are chilling in the living area. His eyes meet with Ace and Shoto and they both smirk at him. Katsuki blushes fuck he made his nerd scream and they all heard what they were doing. Katsuki decides he will ignore the idiots; he just wants to get his nerd cleaned up and cuddle.
"Danm Blasty, I think the entire building heard Izuku" Ace comments cheekily.
"Fuck off Matchstick" Katsuki is too content with life right now to let Ace bring him down. He moves past the two teens. Luffy and Kirishima are blushing bright red to match shitty hair's hair color.
"Is Midoriya alright?" Shoto asks with a smirk.
"When we heard the first explosion, we thought you were fighting." Ace smirks and teases.
"From the sounds we heard Midoriya really enjoyed it huh?" Shoto teases.
"Fuck off Icy-hot" Katsuki blushes a bright red. He retreats into the bedroom warm cloth in hand. He looks at his Nerd. Izuku is twitching slightly just on the cusp of letting sleep claim him. He approaches the bed and lightly cleans the mess off Izuku. He gently moves the nerds legs so he can clean his mess from Izuku, he stops as he hears a whine coming from the nerd.
Izuku raises a shaky hand to Katsuki to stop him "Please Kacchan" he slurs.
"I got to clean you up." Katsuki informs softly "then we can cuddle".
Izuku shakes his head "don't want Kacchan to clean me. Want to feel Kacchan inside."
Katsuki groans there is something possessive in him as he sees his cum seeping from the nerd. He growls and gently runs his finger through the mess. Izuku whimpers but it is not a painful sound, he squirms not sure if he wants to move away from Katsuki's finger or closer to Katsuki's finger. Katsuki smirks "You're gonna make a mess of the sheets if I don't clean you out." He slides his finger into Izuku to push the cum back in.
Izuku moans softly "Kacchan" as he squirms away from Katsuki's prodding.
Katsuki takes his fingers away he smiles softly at the nerd "let me clean what's already come out."
Izuku nods and shifts his body to help Katsuki clean him up. Katsuki gently wipes Izuku down. He discards the wet cloth and lays next to Izuku. He pulls the teen closer to him and places a gentle kiss on his forehead. "I love you Nerd."
"I love Kacchan too." Izuku replies sleepily.
Katsuki watches as Izuku lets sleep claim him, he has a small content smile on his face. The worry lines from the last couple of days have faded. Hoping the nerd sleeps soundly, unplagued by thoughts of the future and nightmares. Katsuki lays awake for a bit it is still pretty early, he will need to make them dinner soon. His thought turn to their events from earlier they finally went all the way. If anyone could see him right now, they would see a massive smile on his face. Should he have been a bit gentler? Yes, he should have. His smile dulls a bit as he remembers all the marks he left on the nerd; he feels a bit guilty for hurting his Nerd. He understands that the Nerd probably needed the pain play to settle his thoughts; but still their first time should have been a lot softer. There were a couple of times he felt basically animalistic, his only thought was to claim and mark. He looks at the time it just about 5pm. He sighs as he disentangles from the nerd, he places a linger kiss to his nerds forehead.
He enters the common room and takes in the other teens in various states of relaxation. He can pick up some of the conversations between the other students. Mostly they are complaining that they are too sore and tired from two days of training. Katsuki ignores the conversations and the shocked gasps as he gains their attention.
"Yo Bakugo?" Sero calls.
Katsuki grunts and continues to make his way to the kitchen.
"You're looking a bit more feral than you did yesterday."
Again Katsuki ignores them and starts pulling out ingredients to make curry. As he is chopping the vegetables, his sensitive hearing can pick up the whispers.
"He looks pretty scary now"
"What are you talking about he looked scary before"
"Did you notice the markings on his arms"
"How did this even happen"
"Is this somehow Izuku's fault"
"I knew he shouldn't have been in the hero course"
"He looks like a villain, doesn't he"
"more like a monster"
"Maybe the league of Villains wanted him for this reason, or maybe they did something to him."
Katsuki growls low in his throat, he hates to admit it, but these whispers are getting to him. He sends a text to Shoto and Ace "Hey can you come to the common area?"
Shoto responds first "What's up, Bakugo?"
Katsuki hates to ask others for help keeping him calm, usually just having the Nerd with him calms him. He doesn't want to wake the Nerd yet; he needs his rest. His next best choice is Ace and Shoto. "The whispers are getting to me. I am close to losing my shit."
"We are on our way" Ace responds.
Katsuki smiles and gets back to make enough curry for the pack. Fuck he has been cooking a lot for them but fuck it. He will let this slide. The whispers of 'Monster', 'demon', 'villain' continue in the common area. He can feel the other students eyes on him watching his every move; waiting for him to lash out so they would have a reason to restrain him.
"I am ashamed of all of you" Ashido shouts. "We are heroes in training. Who the fuck cares if Bakugo suddenly looks more like Izuku. It is none of your fucking business. Now stop gawking and whispering behind his back and go away if it bothers you."
Katsuki stands there shocked, he was not expecting anyone outside the pack to stand up for him. He smiles a bit; damn Pinky has some balls. Ace and Shoto arrive in the middle of Ashido's verbal beatdown and smile as well. They sit at the table and watch as a rare genuine, not directed at Izuku, smile takes over Katsuki's face.
"Hey Ash?" Bakugo calls gaining the girl's attention.
She looks at Katsuki and a smile forms on her face as she takes in the grateful smile aimed at her. "What's up Bakugo?"
"Come here for a second" He asks with a blush.
Ashido heads over to the kitchen. She takes in Todoroki's and Ace's smiles, she greets them with an excited wave "Hey Ace, Todoroki." She notices the absence of the other 4 members of their group "Where are the others?"
"Pikachu is probably in his room, Luffy and Kirishima are in their room and My Nerd is taking a quick nap" Katsuki answers.
Closer to Katsuki, Ashido takes in all his new features. "Don't listen to what those Idiots say about you. I think you look badass."
"Thanks Ash." Katsuki blushes a bit. He fidgets "Have you eaten yet?"
Ashido smiles "No I haven't"
"Good, I don't make leftovers" Katsuki states "You are welcome to join us. I'm cooking dinner then bringing it up to the suite."
"Thank you Bakugo" Ashido smiles. She sits with Ace and Shoto "Will Denki be joining us?"
"Yea he is in the suite already with the others." Ace informs.
"Sweet I've been meaning to talk to him."
Katsuki tunes out the rest of the conversation he is still slightly shocked that Pinky stood up for him. He always thought no one outside the pack would care positively about him. It's strange really, he has never recommended someone for the pack. His wolf likes the idea of claiming people like Izuku's wolf does. Katsuki thinks now that there's two wolves maybe the pack should get bigger. He will bring this up with the Nerd tonight. He zones into cutting the vegetables and meats and adding everything to the pot. He has rice steaming and soon enough the kitchen is filled the aromatic scents of spices. He lets the pot simmer, he turns to the three teens sitting in the kitchen "food is almost done, I need one of you to grab the dishes and another to grab the rice."
"How many dishes Katsuki?" Ashido asks.
"Nine" Katsuki rattles off.
Ashido grabs nine deep plates, Ace unplugs the rice cooker. Katsuki grabs the pot of curry, and Shoto is on door patrol. They reach the suite and Shoto opens the door. Luffy, Kirishima, Denki and Kato are sitting around chilling with the T.V. on. Katsuki puts the food down on the table and glares at the others 'No one touches the food until the Nerd is up' is conveyed. The others smile at Katsuki knowing the only rule Katsuki has for them to eat his food.
Katsuki enters his room and approaches the bed, he let the nerd sleep for about 2 hours. He strokes the hair out of his face and gently wakes him up "Nerd, time to wake."
Izuku groans "Kacchan?"
Katsuki smiles at him as he blinks his eyes open "I made curry."
Izuku smiles beautifully "Thank you Kacchan." Katsuki watches as he tries to sit up, Izuku winces in pain. The blush the blooms on Izuku's face is beautiful. He looks at himself and sees all the marks Katsuki left on his body, he smiles.
Katsuki studies him "How are you feeling, Nerd?"
"Pleasantly sore." Izuku smiles "I slept great. No unpleasant thoughts or dreams."
"Good" Katsuki smiles "Do you want help getting dressed?"
Izuku's face morphs into confusion then realization as he become aware that he is still naked. He blushes again and shakes his head. He winces as he slides off the bed. He smiles triumphally as he stands on shaky legs. He moves to the closet and grabs a tank top and shorts.
Katsuki smirks when his nerd is dressed "you look good." Katsuki's inner wolf preens seeing his marks all over the nerd.
"Thanks Kacchan" Izuku smiles.
Katsuki thinks the nerd is glowing. Izuku's eyes are sparkling and his cheeks are tinted a light pink. The nerds lips are still a bit red and swollen. His hair is bed ruffled and Katsuki wants to push him back onto the bed and ravish him again. But he just made them dinner and the others are waiting for them. "Come on Nerd. The food is getting cold."
Izuku nods and follows Katsuki out of the room. As Izuku enters the living area he picks up the collective gasps of the other seven people. Izuku looks confused not to sure why everyone is looking at him in horror. "What?"
"Midoriya?" Shoto begins "You alright?"
"Yeah I'm great" Izuku smiles.
"You look like you were mauled by a bear" Ashido supplies.
"Nah, I'd say he was mauled by a wolf" Ace smirks at Katsuki.
Izuku blushes and sputters when he realizes that he is covered in Katsuki's marks. Everyone can see he is covered in Katsuki's marks. He retreats to the bathroom. He looks at himself in the mirror, his neck is covered in bites and hickeys. His inner wolf howls at the visual claim. He smiles as he exits the bathroom. He may still be a blushing mess, but he doesn't regret any of these marks. He wants to show them off, his wolf wants him to show them off.
Katsuki watches as Izuku runs off to the bathroom, a whimper in his throat. He hangs his head in shame, no doubt in his mind he went too far. Izuku is going to be upset when he sees the marks littering his skin. Katsuki's self-loathing tells him Izuku is finally going to see Katsuki isn't worth it. Izuku is going to see the bad everyone else always said there was in Katsuki's heart. How can a good person hurt their soulmate and get pleasure out of it. He is a monster, a bad person, a villain, a beast.
A soft hand wipes under Katsuki's eyes; huh when did he start crying. He looks up into bright emerald eyes. Realizing the person standing in front of him is his Nerd makes the tears flow faster, harder and bigger down his cheeks. His head feels like its underwater, he knows the others are talking to him; he can hear their muffled voices, but he can't hear what they are saying. He wants to run; he wants to go away.
Strong arms wrap around him, he freezes. His breathing picks up, he feels his heart in his ears and throat. The strong hands of the person holding him rub small circles in his back. There is a soothing whisper trying to break through the fog of 'Villain', 'monster', 'beast' swirling in his mind.
"Kacchan" Katsuki can hear the soothing whisper.
"Nerd?" Katsuki's answering whisper is soft. But the voices clear out of his head.
Katsuki can feel his head is pulled onto something warm and hard. He hears a steady strong heartbeat in his ear; so different from his own fast erratically beating heart. He can feel the slow deep breathing coming from the strong chest under his head. His breathing is fast and shallow, seemingly not able to get oxygen in his lungs. He tries to match his breathing to the other teens; his breath slows but is still shaky in his chest; he holds it for a couple of seconds. He can feel his heartbeat slowing. He can finally move his arms he brings them around the strong teen in front of him and latches on. He is afraid, he can't let go; he doesn't want to. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry…" he chokes out repeatedly.
"Shh Kacchan," The soothing voice cuts through the continuous mantra of I'm sorry. "Kacchan has nothing to be sorry about."
Katsuki shakes his head, the soothing voice doesn't know what Katsuki did. "The Nerd is gonna hate me." He whisper softly.
"I don't hate you" The voice coos "I'll never hate you."
"But I hurt my Nerd." Katsuki whimpers.
"No Kacchan didn't hurt me" The voice tells him.
Katsuki continues to shake and tremble but the crying stopped. His breathing has returned to normal. His heart has slowed to rhythmic beat. It takes a few moments for the shaking to subside and his vision to clear. Only then does he lift his head off the strong chest, the arms tighten around him. He comes face to face with his smiling nerd. Izuku is smiling so softly at him, he doesn't deserve it. He shakes that though away; he needs to pull himself together. He usually doesn't breakdown in front of people like that and is now overcome with embarrassment.
There's a soft hand on his cheek and he leans into it "Kacchan Ok now?"
Katsuki has calmed down enough to be almost normal. He gulps at his nerds worry "'M ok" he tries to smile reassuringly but he feels it fell flat.
Izuku smiles at him warm and softly "Kacchan needs to eat" Izuku informs.
Katsuki remembers cooking dinner for the pack, remembers the whispers from earlier. Remembers Ashido standing up for him. He nods "yea let's eat."
Izuku smiles "Shoto or Ace can on of you reheat the Curry?" this makes Katsuki feel bad again. He hangs his head in shame again.
"It's ok Katsuki." Ashido states. "I don't know what happened but if it has something to do with what happened downstairs. It's not your fault."
A growl rips out of Izuku's throat "What happened downstairs?" His eye bore into Ashido with all the protectiveness of the wolf inside him.
"I don't know the full story but Blasty left to make dinner, a few minuets after he texted me and Ace to come downstairs." Shoto reports.
"It was nothing Nerd." Katsuki whimpers.
"Bullshit it was nothing" Ashido shouts.
Izuku growls "What happened?"
"The others of the class were sitting in the common area after training." Ashido begins "when Bakugo came down to the common area they started whispering. Saying he looks Villainous, that the League has something to do with this, or this is the reason they wanted him. Someone even said they thought its your fault. They were questioning whether he should be in the hero class at all."
Izuku growls ready to rampage down there and show everyone who the real monster is when Ace's voice cuts in "Ashido stood up for Blasty before we got downstairs. We only caught the tail end."
Izuku turns wide eyes at Ashido "Really? You stood up for Kacchan? Why?"
Ashido rubs the back of her neck "to be honest I just acted. No reason except being a good person." She smiles "truth is, I didn't like what they were saying. I just had the guts to tell them they were fucked up. I didn't know Katsuki could hear them until he sent me a grateful smile."
Izuku smiles a blinding smile "Thanks Ash."
"No one outside the pack stands up for us." Luffy says sadly.
"It's not like we really need anyone to" Ace starts "we have always looked out for each other."
"True" Izuku agrees. "But it's nice having someone stand up for us."
"It's fucked up" Ashido states.
"It is" Shoto agrees.
"I mean they don't even know you. I don't think they even want to try." Ashido complains.
"That is how it has always been." Izuku starts. "I was bullied because I didn't look like other kids. Kacchan was isolated because people thought his quirk was dangerous. Ace and Luffy didn't have it easy either. Ace turns into fire, when we were younger it was hard to control. Whenever Ace got emotional, he would always burst into flames. The other kids started to avoid us thinking we were dangerous. Luffy would have his arms tied and fingers knotted. We would have to untie them."
"We are outcasts" Luffy informed.
"I was bullied in elementary school, my friends found out I was quirkless. They became my biggest bullies. Middle school changed my life. I found a nerd, an asshole, an idiot and a dick. But I also found a boy with a bigger heart than I have ever seen, a boy that wouldn't hesitate to blow up on someone in defense of his friends. A boy that was so full of positive energy he literally bounced. And an overprotective older brother. They didn't care I was quirkless they let me nerd with them and train and do homework and hangout. They only wanted my friendship and want to be my friends." Kato explains with a smile on his face. "If your classmates don't want to get to know you like I did; then Fuck them. It is their problem because you four changed my life. You four accepted me for who I am, called me your friend before you knew my name and quirklessness. You even lead me to my soulmate. Even though Izuku saved my life, he never asked for anything from me."
Ashido has tears in her eyes "I wish I would have known you guys a long time ago."
"Kato isn't the only one who was saved by Izuku." Shoto informed. "My life may not have been in danger, but it doesn't make it any less heroic. I am only where I am today because Izuku knocked some sense into me."
The others nod "You were being stubborn" Izuku reminds.
"I'm sorry" Shoto looks down.
"So if it is not too much to ask… um what happened to Katsuki." Ashido asks curiously.
"Well you and Kaminari found out me and Kacchan are soulmates" Izuku begins "The easiest way to explain it is, our bond is so strong that his soulmate trait manifested while we were training the other day."
"Wait soulmate traits are real?" Ashido asks.
"Yes, if the bond is strong enough." Izuku explains. "We have been able to share my quirk for quite sometime now though it requires a blood transfer, but when we were fighting Ectoplasm the other day, we used more power than we ever had before. After the residual power left Kacchan his spirit wolf woke up. See my quirk allows me to access my spirit animal which happens to be Fuji the wolf god of souls. The soulmate trait I passed on to Katsuki is accessing his spirit animal which happens to be Fenrir."
"Oh wow." Ashido states shocked "That is so cool. Can Fenrir fly like Fuji? Can you transform like Izuku can? What else can your wolf form do? Can you still use your explosions in wolf form?"
Katsuki looks shocked at Ashido but the shock passes when he hears the Nerd giggle. He blushes at the attention "Haven't tried yet Pinky"
Izuku's giggles fade "we don't know, Shanks is taking us to a special training facility until the provisional exams."
"It's the same one Izuku trained at, right?" Ace asks.
"Yup, we already have the passes to stay with mom for the week." Izuku informs. "Pack lightly, bring only a couple pairs of clothes we can do laundry when we get there. Don't worry about food either." He informs the others.
"I can't wait." Denki says.
"Oh your going too Denki?" Ashido asks.
Kaminari blushes "There is a move I have been working on and I don't want to hurt the other is the class. Shanks has a special training room he uses for his electricity."
"Oh ok" Ashido pouts. "I wish I could get some extra help with my training. Ectoplasm is great and all, but I feel like I am missing something."
Izuku sends a look to Katsuki "I'll be right back" He excuses himself. He walks into his room and calls Shanks. He only has to wait for a couple of moments before Shanks picks up.
"Izuku?"
"Hey Shanks, um I have something I want to suggest" Izuku asks.
"What is it?"
"It's about our training trip tomorrow." Izuku informs.
"Ok go ahead." Shanks states.
"I think Ashido will be a great addition. Can you come to our room I'll call Aizawa."
"Yea I'll be there in a couple of minutes." Shanks informs.
"Ok thanks I'll tell you my training plan when you get here." Izuku hangs up. He calls Aizawa and only waits a couple of moments before the Lazy teacher picks up.
"What's up problem Child?" Aizawa drawls.
"Come to my suite it is about tomorrow. I think Ashido should train with us." Izuku informs.
Aizawa sighs "Ok I'll be right over."
"Shanks will be here in a couple of minutes." Izuku notifies "Thanks Aizawa sensei" Izuku hangs up. He leaves and enters the living area again. "Shanks and Aizawa are on their way here." He levels a serious look at Ashido "regardless what they say, nothing leaves this room."
Ashido nods "of course"
"Good" Izuku smiles. There is a knock on the suite door, Aizawa strolls in.
"Hey Aizawa sensei" The teens greet.
Aizawa grunts "This better be worth it." He levels a glare at Izuku, he knows Izuku wouldn't do something so rash as to tell someone about their mission. He observes Izuku with a hard look, he notices the blush and marks on Izuku's neck. He raises an eyebrow and smirks at Katsuki. It is not too hard to tell what they have been up to. Before he can comment on it, or tease the two Shanks strolls in.
Shanks looks at everyone in the room, the entire pack is present. Izuku and Katsuki are fidgeting and blushing. Izuku looks like he was mauled, Shanks would bet his life the culprit is the wolf named Katsuki. Danm Katsuki is a possessive teen isn't he. Shanks shakes his head there is more important things going on right now. "Ok what did you want to talk about?"
"I think Ashido should come with us tomorrow." Izuku states seriously. "Can I tell her?"
"Just the basics" Aizawa states.
Izuku nods and turns to focus on Ashido "as I said before nothing you hear leaves this room. It is considered treason if any of us speak a word of this." Ashido nods. "I lied to you Ashido, I am sorry about that. The truth is we are not going on a training trip we are going on a mission with Shanks and Aizawa sensei. I will not be telling you the details of this mission. See during this mission we might need to fight. I have watched and taken notes on everyone's quirk including yours. And I think with your reflexes, offensive and defensive capabilities you would be a great asset to this mission. I studied your fight at the sports festival; I believe if you were matched with anyone other than Ace you would have had a decent shot of winning. The capabilities of your quirk is impressive, I think getting some possible battle experience will be beneficial to you. Me, Kacchan, Ace, Luffy, and Kirishima are close range fighters. Kaminari is a long-range fighter. If worse comes to worse, he could be outnumbered. Yes Shanks and Aizawa will be there but it is no guarantee that Denki still won't be overwhelmed. Truth is we don't know what we are heading into. All I can do is plan for ever possibility. If there is no fight, then we train through out the mission. Having you spar with us and giving you pointers on how to use your quirk to its full potential."
Shanks ponders this for a second, out of all the other students he could have picked Ashido doesn't rank high on the list. Then again, he has known Izuku for more than a decade and he would rather have someone he trust on his side than someone stronger. He nods "Ok, I understand your reasonings. Though I have concerns." He turns to Ashido "One, as a teacher I do not want to put a student that does not have any practical battle experience in a potentially deadly battle. That being said if I had to this is the perfect team for you to get that experience. Two, I know Izuku has already told you that nothing leaves this room. This is true, the hero commission doesn't even know the full extent to this mission. If you are going to work with us it will not just be for this mission tomorrow. You will also be required to pass the provisional exam it will be required to have your provisional licenses when school starts. You will need to be able to catch up on missed school and exams. Your grades can not slip. If you do not think you can handle the extra strain, then forget everything you heard in this room."
Ashido looks contemplative Katsuki speaks up "School work will not be a problem; we are all in the same boat. Like the nerd would let any of us fall behind. If anything her grades would be better."
"The real battle experience and or training with us and she will be more ready than the other students for the exam. Call it a feeling, but I feel because of the villain attacks; the exam is going to be looking for cooperation, communication and teamwork. All things we excel at, if she trains with us, she will be a natural." Izuku explains. "Besides I will personally help her and anyone else in this room catch up on schoolwork and studying for exams."
"I will have to call and notify Nezu and All Might." Aizawa explains. "It will be up to Nezu to approve."
The teens nod. "Can you call him now? It would be best to get his answer soon, so she has time to pack if the answer is favorable." Izuku pleads.
Aizawa nods and pulls out his phone. He calls principal Nezu. One the third ring the line connects.
"Nezu here"
"Aizawa. You alone?" Aizawa asks.
"Yes, how can I help you Aizawa?"
"We have an addition to tomorrow training trip." Aizawa states.
"Who?" Nezu asks.
"Ashido." Aizawa answers.
"Oh?" Nezu questions "Why do you think this is a good addition?"
"Here I'll put you on speaker." Aizawa informs with a click he is on speaker.
"I feel her quirk would be beneficial to our overall training success." Izuku states.
"I see" Nezu comments "I will need a written performance report on the training when you get back. Consider this as a trail run Miss Ashido."
"Yes sir" Ashido comments "I will train my hardest"
"They told you right." Nezu asks.
"Not all of it, just in case." Ashido responds "Just the basics"
"You will all be back two days before the exam" Nezu states "Use the time well."
"Yes Sir" The teens call out.
"Get some rest. I will notify All Might about the change." Nezu states "Train safe"
He hangs up. Shanks sighs "Pack what you need for a week, do not pack too much you might need to fight before we drop off our bags. We will explain more tomorrow, meet us outside the dorms by 8am."
"Got it Sensei." Ashido agrees.
"Get some sleep. I'll bring down your dishes." Aizawa states "you can wash them in the morning. Good Night" He leaves the room following Shanks.
"Pack a small backpack, don't worry about hygiene supplies, or first aid kits, just pack a couple of changes of cloths and your hero uniform it might be needed." Izuku informs.
Ashido nods "Thank you Izuku."
"Don't mention it." Izuku blows off "I wasn't lying I think your quirk will help immensely. Out of all the others I could pick to bring on this mission I trust you the most."
Ashido hugs Izuku tightly.
"No go pack and get some sleep, set an alarm for 7am so you are ready on time. I'll fill you in on the way tomorrow." Izuku returns the hug and walks her out.
The others retreat to their rooms Denki and Kato have left already following close behind Aizawa and Shanks. Izuku closes the suite door and heads back into his room with Kacchan. He crawls into the bed with Kacchan and snuggles close.
"Do you want to talk about what happened earlier?" Izuku asks softly.
"'S nothing nerd." Katsuki sighs. Izuku just hums and traces mindless patterns on Katsuki's chest. Katsuki sighs again "I shouldn't have been so rough with you earlier. It was our first time and I hurt you. When you ran to the bathroom, the whispers of demon, villain, monster became so loud I couldn't hear anything else. Next thing I know I couldn't breath my heart felt like it was gonna come out of my ears and all I could think about is how could a good person take pleasure out of hurting their soulmate. I couldn't stop thinking that you're gonna finally see the evil in me that everyone else does. That you would leave me, that you would realize I'm not worth it."
"You know none of that is true right? Kacchan" Izuku turns Katsuki face to look at him. "You didn't hurt me, I felt nothing but care and passion from you. So we went a little overboard and yes, I'm a bit sore; but I needed it Kacchan. I'm sorry that you feel guilty for hurting me. When you used your quirk on me, I got pulled out of a dark place. I loved every moment of it, these last couple of days have been really hard on my mind. Every time I closed my eyes, I would see Kacchan impaled by a demon. The pain helped bring me back to reality, every thrust brought me back to you. I couldn't think of anything but Kacchan being here, with me, alive. And I needed that."
Katsuki looks like he wants to argue his point of self-loathing but Izuku cuts him off with a quick kiss "If I have to tell you everyday for the rest of our lives; I will. You are not a Demon" He gives another kiss "Monster" another kiss "Villain" another kiss "I can never hate you; I will never hate you" another kiss. "You will always be worth it to me." Another kiss "you are worth everything to me." Another kiss "You do not have evil in you" Another kiss "I will never leave you" Another kiss "I" kiss "Love" another kiss "Kacchan" another kiss "Forever" He ends his speech with a lingering kiss.
Katsuki smiles "I love you too Nerd. My nerd"
Izuku smiles "My Kacchan"
Katsuki finally feels at peace again, leave it to the Nerd to make him feel raw and complete and loved and happy all at once. He feels exhausted from his panic attack and their activities from early; he lets sleep claim him. He dreams of nothing but silk skin and soft moans.
The next morning the group wakes up it is 6am. Izuku stretches as he stops his alarm, he disentangles himself from Katsuki and grabs a change of clothes. He sends a text to Denki and Ashido to make sure they are awake. He hops in the shower, looking down his body he smiles at the marks he can see. He remembers he promised Katsuki he would heal them. When his shower is done, he heals the marks keeping the one on his neck. That one isn't sore, so he keeps it. He leaves the bathroom and retreats to his room to change into training cloths.
Katsuki is awake sitting on the bed when the Nerd comes back in, he eyes him up and down as he gets dressed. The Nerd has water dripping from his hair down his chest to his abs finally getting lost in the waist band of his shorts. He notices all the brand marks he left on the Nerd Last night have been healed. He raises an eyebrow when he spots the bite mark still on his neck. Izuku smiles sheepishly "It doesn't hurt, and I wanted one of the marks to stay for a little while longer. It pleases my inner wolf to see it."
Katsuki nods he understands because as soon as he seen it, he felt a rumble in his chest "It looks good on you." Katsuki compliments.
Izuku smiles "Of course it does. Kacchan put it there."
Katsuki blushes "Stupid Nerd! Don't say things like that."
"Sorry Kacchan" The Nerd smiles unapologetic and unashamed.
Katsuki grunts and finishes getting dressed. When he is done, he makes his way to the common are to make them a quick breakfast. Around 7am the others are trickling downstairs; breakfast is ready for them. "hurry up and eat" Katsuki orders.
"Thank you Kacchan" Izuku thanks "It looks delicious"
"Thank you Blasty" Ace states.
The others says their thanks and praises at the delicious feast in front of them. Katsuki blushes and soaks up all the praise and compliments to his cooking. As they finish eating, they quickly clean up and head outside. They are 15 minutes early but Izuku thinks that is ok.
Right at 8am Shanks and Aizawa come out of the building "You got everything?"
"Yes Sensei"
"Alright let's go" Shanks states "Izuku shift into your wolf form we will be flying to the meet point."
"Got it Shanks" Izuku shifts into his wolf form. He lowers his head as everyone climbs on. Those that ride on Fuji frequently take their roles, Katsuki sits at Fuji's neck. Shoto on the left side, Ace on the right. Aizawa and Shanks sit up front with Katsuki Luffy sits in the middle, he wraps his legs around Fuji's torso. Ashido and Denki sit with Luffy. Luffy wraps his arms around the group like a makeshift seatbelt. Katsuki pops a couple explosions into Fuji's next to convey they are ready.
Izuku takes off with a power jump and beat of his wings. He soars high in the sky Shanks is directing Katsuki where to guide Izuku. Aizawa is filling Ashido in on the mission. After about 15 minuets Shanks spots the roof they need to be on. He points it out to Katsuki, and the explosive teen directs the wolf to the right roof. They land and everyone gets off Izuku so he can shift. They are early but that is fine they use the time to go over the mission. Shanks looks at Ashido "be prepared to fight"
"Where are we going?" Ashido asks.
Aizawa sighs they really can't keep this from her any longer "In a few moments Detective Naomasa will be here with a prisoner. The prisoner has a power to teleport us to a different location. Be prepared to fight when we get there. This prisoner is not to be trusted, he is after Ace and Luffy so he might send us to a location that makes it easy for those two to be captured."
Ashido nods, her heart rate picks up she feels like she is missing something she thought the villains only wanted Bakugo and Midoriya. Her face must betray her confusion because Izuku strolls up next to her "This might seem crazy and you may not believe me, but Fuji isn't my quirk he is from a fruit I ate when I was five called a devil fruit. I do have a quirk, but it is not noticeable when I use it with Fuji. This quirk is the one I share with Kacchan. Anyways Devil Fruits come from another world, a world where Shanks, Ace, and Luffy are from. Ace and Luffy were being hunted in that world when they were five for crimes their fathers have committed. At least that is what that world government have the public believe." Izuku pauses "Truth is that is a lie there is an evil greater than AFO greater than LoV greater than any villain we have seen. Countless worlds have fallen to it, their world is corrupted by it, and our world is threatened by it."
"So where are we going" Ashido asks shakily. Not knowing if she really wants the answer to this question.
"The Grandline" Izuku states. "We need to amass an army greater than all the heroes this world has to offer. We only have a few years to do this. This evil is terrifying it will pretty mush be a last stand between good and evil. We wont just be fighting villains, we will be fighting corrupt heroes, corrupt civilians, demons etc. Anyone who has evil or darkness in them will be our enemy."
"How do you know this?" Ashido asks.
"Fuji, he told me and Kacchan. I have seen it and so has Nighteye while he was looking into my future." Izuku confirms. "Even with this massive army we make most of our world fall, our population drops to about a third of what it is currently. The other world falls so the people we get have to stay with us."
"So what is my roll in all of this?" Ashido questions "Why do you need me?"
"Are there people stronger than you that would probably be a better choice? Sure. But I trust you more than I trust them. You stood up for Kacchan even though he could have done it himself. You told the other students in the class to mind their own business and to leave Kacchan alone. No one outside pack cares about us. You know mine and Kacchan's secret and haven't told anyone. In the grand scheme of things that secret is pretty insignificant but could paint a bigger target on our backs." Izuku explains.
"If we can't trust the people on this mission we will fail" Katsuki summarizes.
"I get it" Ashido nods, she had no idea any of this was going to happen. She kept their secret of being soulmates because no one else needed to know. She has observed Denki with the pack and has noticed he seems happier, more himself. He seems comfortable being who he is, more confident in his abilities. If this is the change, she can expect just from a few days with the pack well she can't help but be excited. She will be able to get real battle experience to make her a better hero. She nods to herself; she will do this; she won't betray the trust she has gotten from the boys. She will do her best to help in any way she can.
After the explanation of what the mission entails to other people come on to the roof top. One of the people Ashido doesn't recognize but judging by the chains and escort; this is the prisoner that is going to teleport them to another world. The other man Ashido recognized from the U.S.J. and summer training incident. Before the prisoners cuffs come off Aizawa activates his capture weapon and binds the criminal. Shanks draws his sword there is a fierce look in his eyes.
The criminal nods "We have an agreement."
"We do whenever you are ready." Shanks states.
Ashido watches as the criminal opens a door in the air. She can't see what is on the other side and this terrifies her. Denki grabs her hand whether it is to comfort her or to seek comfort she doesn't know; but it grounds her. She watches as Izuku and Katsuki walk into the door followed by Ace and Luffy. Aizawa releases the criminal and enters the portal. Shanks nods at Kirishima and Shoto as they enter. Finally it is her, Denki, Shanks and the other two are left on the roof. She gulps and steels her nerves she enters the door with Denki. Shanks sheaths his sword and turns to the open portal.
Izuku leads the group through the tunnel following the scent of sea salt. The light he is following gets larger and larger. He transforms into his wolf form before he enters the other side. He lands on ice his sensitive hearing can pick out the sounds of a fight below them. As everyone pours out of the door, the sounds of fighting pick up. Izuku looks over the edge he observes the battlefield he shits back into his human form and turns to Shanks. "Whitebeards crew is fighting the marines. I think Marco is on the execution platform."
Shanks nods "This is not something we can leave to chance we need Whitebeard and Marco to live." He turns to Izuku. "You and the others fight on the side of Whitebeard. Create a diversion I'll free Marco. He might need to be healed after he gets free. Izuku try to get Whitebeard alone, tell him Shanks sent you. Tell Him the prince is here. He will understand, he will listen."
Izuku nods and shifts again into his wolf form. Katsuki and the others hop on, with a leap he soars off the chunk of ice. With a gust of wind he lands on top of Whitebeards ship. The pirates and the marines are stunned as a teen takes the place of the wolf with several other teens behind him.
Whitebeard stares down at the teens, his eyes catch on the teen in the back with a familiar straw-hat on his head. The teen next to straw-hat is a much younger face of his best friend/ rival. The wolf that turned into a teen is familiar. Whitebeard waves off the group of over-protective division commanders "Stand down" The commanding voice Whitebeard releases even gets the marines to stand down.
Izuku clears his throat "I have a message for you. We are here to help free Marco. Shanks sent us.
"Shanks is dead" one of the Commanders shouts.
Izuku smiles "he told me to tell you the prince lives" while subtly nodding his head in Ace's direction.
Consideration passes through Whitebeards face as his commanders look confused. He studies the teens; he unleashes his Conqueror's Haki he spins his naginata and slams the but down of the head of his ship; silencing and scaring the shit out of the marines and his crew. Izuku smirks and unleashes his Haki in answer. Katsuki smirks as well his Haki lashes out with his Nerds in another answering growl. Whitebeards laugh booms through the battlefield, everyone relaxes. The marines try to figure out who the new commers are and what their business with Whitebeard is. "You cheeky Brats!" Whitebeard laughs.
Izuku relaxes "Shanks told us to fight with you, he will get to Marco. Once we get out of here everything will be explained even where Shanks has been for the past 12years."
Whitebeard looks at the teens "Don't expect me to save your asses Brat"
"Just stay out of trouble old man" Izuku smirks.
"Stay out of our way" Katsuki snarls.
Izuku looks over his shoulder to his pack and gives them a feral smirk "Let loose anyone wearing a white and blue uniform is our enemy." The marines fall over in shock as Izuku shifts again. Fuji lets a massive growl escape his throat and he unleashes all his feathers; blocking an attack to Whitebeards back. The commanders rush to seize the sand like man.
Izuku jumps off the ship, Katsuki lets loose with a few explosions landing next to Izuku, Ace and Shoto use a fire and Ice combo to land safely. Luffy and Kirishima jump and land on the frozen bay. Ashido and Denki use the Ice ramp Shoto left to get down safely.
'Let's begin' Izuku growls.
