Azur Heroes

Chapter 9

I've finally got some inspiration for this chapter and more of an idea on where to go with this chapter. And it will lead into a story for Yuudachi, Eri, and the fleet of Mon Cal base. Now then. On with the show.

(No POV)

After escorting Yuudachi and Eri to the Midoriya house, Inko was surprised but happy to feed both of the girls. "So who are these two?" Inko questioned after a few plates had been cleaned by Yuudachi alone. Eri though needed a bit of help, given how young she was.

"I don't know about the little girl with the horn, but this is Yuudachi. She's one of the best IJN destroyers from the past. And a top-notch warrior." Kinu explained while looking over both girls.

Izuku hummed a moment before questioning aloud why Eri had referred to Yuudachi as he sister. "Because Yuu-neechan has always been there for me. Or she was until…." Upon saying this, Eri's eyes widened and she started to hyperventilate. Her horn and body started to glow before she screamed for everyone to get back.

"You'll disappear! Just like daddy!" Eri shouted as she freaked out more and more. Until Yuudachi leapt forward and wrapped the scared girl in a hug. Pulling her into her, rather generous for her height, bosom. "Shhh. It's okay Eri. I'm not going anywhere." Yuudachi said while patting the girl's head.

This seemed to help the little horned girl calm down. While most of the other ships were surprised on how responsible Yuudachi was acting. "Normally she's extra goofy and just food (especially meat) crazed. What happened?" Kinu questioned while looking over the girls.

Inko was doing the same until she took a good look and saw how dirty both of them were. She clapped her hands before saying, "we can ask a few other questions later. For now these two look like they could use a bath."

Eri and Yuudachi looked down and could see the older woman's point. But Yuudachi said she didn't need one. Dropping her responsible façade to sneak away. Like a dog avoiding going to the vet or a bath.

Right down to setting Eri down and running to the door. And meeting the armored belt of Kii. The battleship gasped a bit before looking down and seeing the dog-eared head of the just past her breasts. "Who? Commander, did we get a new summon?"

"Uh no. Not exactly. Though could you restrain her please? I think she could stand to be cleaned up." Izuku says with a light chuckle. Which grows when Kii basically picks Yuudachi up by the back of her sailor uniform and she curls up like a puppy. With eyes to match.

Eri meanwhile just looks lost and confused by all the people around her now. Kinu walks over and puts her own hand out before asking if Eri would like to take a warm bath. The oni like woman has a gentle smile and since she seemed to know her big sister, Eri was willing to trust her for now.

The two older shipgirls take the two silver haired and red eyed girls to the bath house on base. While Izuku hums on why both of them looked like they'd been homeless for a while. "Akatsuki. You still here?" Izuku questioned aloud.

"Hai. What do you need commander?" Akatsuki said while appearing behind Izuku. Startling Inko and almost making her fall into the trashcan. But she was caught by the other ninja that Inko didn't know was there, Kirishima.

Izuku nodded while acknowledging the battlecruiser girl. "Good you both are still here. I want both of you to go into town for a day or two. Listen in on the back streets and the like. I'll rework the duty roster, so don't worry there. I've got a bad feeling something could be coming."

Both of the ninjas nod before disappearing from the house. "I don't know how they do that, but it is often very unsettling." Inko says while brushing off her clothes. She then asks what Izuku suspects could be coming.

"I don't know for sure, but did you remember what Eri said? About us disappearing if we got close. I can imagine a lot of people would want to use a power like that for a lot of the wrong reasons." Izuku says with a contemplative look. Before checking in with a few of the regular soldiers on if they had some extra girls clothes.

Inko's eyes widen slightly before feeling pity flood her for what both of those girls likely went through before reaching the base. For said girls though, Yuudachi was currently trying to run from the big bath after being stripped out of her dirty and slightly tattered uniform.

Eri meanwhile was confused and feeling more comfortable after Kinu took off her tattered rags and the bandages on her arms. And while the oni girl still had a calm or pleasant face on, she was currently raging about the scars on the little girl's arms and legs.

'The way Yuudachi was holding her, I know this wasn't her doing. Someone else did this to this sweet little girl. Before Yuudachi could break her out.' Kinu thought as she was stripping out of her own uniform. And when Eri seemed nervous about going to the bath.

So Kinu held the little girl's hand as they walked into the washing area. While Kii has to slightly drag Yuudachi into the bath area. Before holding the girl in place while she washes the dog girl's hair.

Kinu meanwhile takes to helping Eri clean up as well. Being extra gentle on her arms and where she had been operated on or injured. Once she was cleaned up, Kinu and Kii escort (or drag) their charges to the big bath to soak.

With the golden eyed Kinu letting Eri sit on her lap as she soaked. She gently brushed the little girl's hair as she was soaking and letting her rest on her chest as her eyes started to droop. And seeing the somewhat still scared look on her face, made Kinu want to find whoever hurt her. And introduce said person to her katana, torpedoes, and cannons.

Kii meanwhile was working to keep the dog girl on a leash. To the point of holding the girl into her chest. And noticing the dogmorph has quite the impressive bosom herself. "How….. or rather why, do you have such a chest?" Kii questions.

Yuudachi just looks down at her chest before saying, "I don't know. Maybe its because of all the meat I eat." Kii gives the girl a flat look and a sigh before sitting her down again. After soaking for quite a while, Eri had completely fallen asleep in Kinu's arms.

When they were changing, one of the soldiers on base had brought pajamas and some underwear for Eri. "My daughter used to be about her size. These should fit the girl." He said before handing the clothes to Kinu. She thanked the man and gently changed Eri.

Yuudachi's uniform meanwhile was cleaned and press and she was quite happy to have it on again. "Ah that's better! Hey, got any nail polish? I need to touch mine up." Yuudachi says while looking down at her hands.

Kii rolls eyes but she suggests that she ask the commissary in the morning. "Though right now I think you have some questions to answer." Kii says while rewrapping her sarashi. It took her the longest to change, so Kinu and Yuudachi had left to take Eri somewhere comfortable to sleep.

They returned to the Midoriya house and Izuku was happy to lend his bed to the girl. With Yuudachi taking Eri from Kinu's arms to tuck her in. Something that again surprised the oni girl. "You were usually a lot more rebellious or combative. What happened to you Yuudachi?"

Yuudachi's eyes widened a bit before looking down again. And patting Eri's head gently. She gestures to the living room before quietly closing the door. Kii had arrived since then and was quite interested in the destroyer girl's story as well.

"It's a bit of a long story. But I'd say it started not long after most of yours did. Though I didn't remember it." Yuudachi says while settling in on a couch. Kinu sat next to her while Izuku and Inko each took a chair. Kii stood by the entrance while looking on.

Yuudachi explained that she awoke in this world three years ago. "But I didn't remember who I was. I was…. I guess just operating on animalish instincts. That was when I met the boss. Or rather I attacked him."

Kinu chuckled at that while Kii pondered if she was an incomplete summon. "Perhaps someone else had managed to summon her but died before she could be fully brought onto this plane." Izuku hummed while Inko was surprised how calm everyone was acting.

"I mean… I've working alongside and summoning the spirits of second world war ships. Crazy seems kinda normal at this point mom." Izuku says with a chuckle. One that is mirrored by his ships, before he gestures for Yuudachi to continue.

Yuudachi nods before saying she had been a stray in a sense to him. "Like a few others he picked up over the years. I just happened to come upon him while he was visiting his daughter, Eri's mom, and her husband."

Yuudachi explained how she had been a semi enforcer for the Yakuza after the boss took her in. Using her instincts with combat and natural strength to deal with troublesome quirk users. Never killing them but breaking most of their bodies to where some couldn't use their quirks again.

"Things were nice for a while. I was slowly remembering things. Not the fact that I was a ship. More like who my friends were and what I liked to do. Things changed about six months ago." Yuudachi said with a sad look on her face.

She explained that Eri's quirk had awakened. The ability to rewind organic things. To even before they existed. "One of the first things she rewound though, was her father. She erased him from existence. And her mother saw her as a monster." Yuudachi said with furious look on her face.

All those listening were wide eyed, with Inko being furious about what Eri's mother had said about her own child. Especially when Yuudachi explained that she had all but abandoned the girl to her grandfather.

"It got worse though. There was someone in the gang. Chisaki Kai. He'd been with the family a bit longer than me, but….. well aside from him always smelling wrong when I was around him, he always just gave off this unsettling air." Yuudachi explained that she and a few others knew he'd been gaining followers.

But they could do nothing about it. Especially when he took control of the Shie Hissaki gang. "He'd already been taking blood samples from Eri. To try and make a weapon of some kind. And making sure she wouldn't tell me or the boss. And when he was finally confronted about it… he put the boss in a coma." Yuudachi said with some tears in her eyes.

This had everyone furious, with Kinu now knowing who and how she was going to use her weapons on Chisaki. Izuku meanwhile was contemplating how much of the military he could bring down on the monster. Inko though was in tears at what that poor little girl had gone through.

Yuudachi sniffled a bit before blowing her nose in the handkerchief Inko had lent her. "I was in shock at first. But when I snapped out of it, I tried to attack the bastard. Only to get knocked around a bit by a few of his grunts. Kendo I could deal with, but I really hated getting felt up by that Katsukame asshole."

The dog girl explained that she had been chained up and locked away after that. And for six months they basically kept her alive to keep Eri a bit in check. Telling her that if she wanted to keep her sister alive, she'd have to let them take what they wanted.

Before any of them could get madder, Yuudachi explained that she'd gotten a bit of revenge. "And it's mostly thanks to you and your fleet commander. One of the guys who had been guarding me was watching a video of you and your girls getting interviewed. Hearing Kinu talking though was what I needed."

She explained that her memories started coming back in full force. Letting her remember who she was, what she fought for, and what she could do. And she accentuated that by summoning her rig and blasting off the chains she was held with.

And then blasting the thugs into red mist. "I went after Eri and the rest stood between us. But I gave them more than they were expecting." Yuudachi said before explaining how she handled a few of the Eight Bullets as they called themselves.

One of the first she fought was Katsukame. With the man grabbing her fists when she tried to punch him. "Dumbass didn't notice that it wasn't just my hands I was punching him with." Yuudachi said before summoning her rig and the guns on the back of her hands.

"I basically blasted both of his hands off. And when he was screaming, I grabbed his tongue and ripped it out." Yuudachi said with furious grin. Inko had turned green at this explanation, while her fellow shipgirls nodded at her actions towards the man.

After that she avoided Chronostasis, Nemoto, and Mimic on her way to Eri. But she had to quickly knock out four of the other bullets. Kendo Rappa and his partner actually didn't actually try to stop Yuudachi when she came upon them.

"Tengai himself didn't seem to approve of what Chisaki was doing to Eri. He was newer and apparently just there to keep Rappa in line. And even he didn't want to fight me. Saying, 'You're not looking at me, so it wouldn't be a good fight. Come back when you want to take me down.' And they stepped aside."

Yuudachi then noted that Chisaki, or Overhaul as he called himself, had Eri captive when Yuudachi found the girl. And he ordered a few of his other thugs to attack Yuudachi. Thinking she had just managed to slip out of her restraints and would be beaten easily.

But she shocked him by quickly knocking out most of the goons and rushing in to attack the young man. "I kneed the bastard in the face before I grabbed Eri. When that was done, Overhaul tried to remodel the building so we couldn't escape. That was when I pulled out my rig and blasted a hole in the wall."

Overhaul had tried to attack again, first with stone knives from the ground and then directly with his quirk. Only for Yuudachi to easily evade the stones and giving Overhaul a lasting mark. By slashing his face with her nails and ripping out his right eye.

This heroic story made everyone listening cheer a bit (though Inko was a bit unsettled by the gouging out of someone's eye) with Kinu and Kii telling Yuudachi they were proud of her.

"After that I ran out made for the base. But I took a bit longer because we were avoiding the police and heroes. Overhaul had already been paying off a few of them. Took us about a week or two to get here." Yuudachi said while looking down at her hand.

At hand that was taken by Kinu and Inko. With the former saying she did well and that it explained the state the two were in. Inko meanwhile was glad that the girl had gotten away. "And you protected Eri better than that fool of a mother of hers."

Izuku meanwhile had been conversing with Kii about the next steps. "Obviously she's going to be part of the fleet. But I'm worried about Eri. We have to make sure Overhaul can't get his hands on her."

"I agree commander. Luckily very few knew about these two being here. We should be able to hide this or disguise them." Kii says before asking if Yuudachi wanted to come to the shipgirl dorms.

Yuudachi shook her head before saying she was going to stay close to Eri. "I'm not leaving her alone like that again. Even if I do trust you." Izuku nodded before saying she should go back up to his room. "Eri's probably going to need her big sister again before the night is done."

Izuku then put his hand on her shoulder before saying he was proud of Yuudachi again. "And welcome back to the navy Yuudachi. I hope your ready to give the Sirens as much Hell as you gave that bastard Overhaul." Izuku said with a smile.

Yuudachi smiled before glomping Izuku's upper body. With the boy's face buried into her very generous chest. She lets go and heads up to Izuku room. And when she gets there and sees Eri sleeping soundly, she smiles. Before walking in a circle and curling up on the floor next to the bed.

Seeing this gets a few chuckles from the other ships, and the Midoriyas. "She really is a puppy. A good loyal dog." Inko says with a gentle smile. Izuku stretches his back before saying he'll sleep on the couch. And while his mom is tempted to say he could use her bed, Izuku stops her and says he'll be fine.

The next morning though his neck disagrees with him. "Okay maybe that was a bad idea to sleep like that." Izuku says with his head stuck at a funny angle. Inko has a chuckle before cooking a bit of breakfast.

The smell and sounds of meat cooking awakens Yuudachi, making her run around Izuku's room a bit. Like a dog excited for their food or a treat. And these actions wake up Eri. "Neechan? Wait….. where are we?" Eri questions from the bed.

Yuudachi snaps out of her meat focused thoughts and looks back to Eri. She smiles and says, "were somewhere safe. Now what do you say we get something to eat?" Yuudachi holds out both of her hands. And Eri takes them in a similar manner to when Yuudachi first met her grandfather.

Yuudachi picks up Eri and they head downstairs for breakfast. With Yuudachi getting a laugh at Izuku's head being stuck at a funny angle. Inko meanwhile had made extra bacon and some ham for Yuudachi after a suggestion from Kinu.

"What about you sweety? Is there something you like?" Inko says in a gentle tone. Eri seems uneasy about Inko, but she does say she liked apples. Inko nods before picking up an apple and slicing it up. Even giving the apples bunny ears and playing a bit with the girl.

Izuku chuckles and smiles before digging in himself. 'I do hope that the Yakuza don't show up. But if they do….. I'll bring down everyone of my girls on them. And maybe even deal with Chisaki myself.' Izuku thinks while cleaning up after breakfast.

Sorry this took so long, but I've been drained when it comes to my fanfics. And… May isn't the best month for me. A few family members dying on a near anniversary of one dying doesn't help. But I'm feeling better now, and I hopefully will be able to put some new stories out. Please review.
