Another 5k chapter? I have no idea how i did that again, but I guess it is a good thing. This chapter is a time skip where we will have the preparations for Melissa. I hope you all enjoy.
"I am telling you guys, we should totally watch Ghost rider today." Itsuka said, now 9 years old, she was now with longer hair in a side ponytail and she embraced her role as the big sister of the group."Don't you agree Yui?" She then looks to her best friend.
"Hm." Yui answer disagreeing, she was Itsuka's neighbor and friend, after hearing about her disciples, she decided to go meet them two months after Izuku and Melissa started training with her. 'I prefer to watch Godzilla, Kaiju movies are always cool.' She thought while looking at her friends.
Yui Kodai s a young girl with shoulder-length, bob-shaped hair, side-swept to her right with some shorter strands hanging above her eyes. She has fair skin, cerulean eyes, and she's usually seen wearing a neutral expression on her face. She is called "The Silent Beauty" in their school.
"Of course you want a movie with cool motorcycles on it, if we are choosing a movie to see today then I want to watch Saw. The original was cool but I refuse to accept those weird sequels." Katsumi said while walking beside Itsuka, she was the taller now but was the smallest of the group, and her hair was longer too, she liked to keep her hair loose because she thought it made her look older.
She still says sometimes rude things without meaning, but her friends were always there to translate before something bad happened.
"If we are choosing a movie then I want to watch the original Alien, we must respect the classics," Mei said while looking at the screen in her wrist, Melissa and her build for each of them their device, in the beginning, it was for fun, but since the group liked so much they decided that it would be cool for everyone to have one with their own design.
She was taller and kept her hair shoulder length, and she still wasn't good at dealing with other kids out of her group, but they always helped her when she needed to.
"If we are talking about classics, I think the original Predator movie is cool too, Arnold Schwarzenegger is Handsome too." Melissa said and the other girls agreed."That scene where he covers himself in mud and goes against the predator is cool."Melissa said with a small smile on her face.
Melissa was the tallest of the girls and she now kept her hair short, when they started school, some kids tried to bully her for being quirkless, but with her friends, at her side, they stopped. Katsumi threatened to explode them if they did something to her and when they saw the big group of powerful kids around her they stopped.
"I think that if we are talking about old classic badasses in movies, we should watch Rambo. One guy against armies? Looks like something Izuku will do in the future right?" Neito said and everyone laughs a little since they can see Izuku going against armies if it was to protect those he loves.
Neito was now the tallest of the group, he was only an inch taller than Izuku, but he made sure to point that out to tease his friend. He was the same as always, just taller now. He now had an athletic build from training for six years, He was Katsumi's rival since they started training and they would always push each other to go further.
"I want to see Batman Begins, a quirkless hero that uses his mind to win against everyone is an inspiration to many people." Izuku said while writing in his notebook about the new heroes that had their debut today."You guys have to admit that the trilogy is cool, the Joker in the second movie is a great villain too." He was tall and had an athletic build, his hair was still messy, no matter how many times their friends told him to get a damn haircut.
"Well, I am the one that said first, that means I win." Itsuka smiles and puts her fingers in a victory sign." Is Kaina sis home Izuku?" She asked looking at her green-haired friend.
"Yeah, she sent a message that she did leave work early today so she would be home, but since she is bad at cooking I am sure we will have pizza today." He said laughing a little about the fact that she could calculate how the wind and distance would affect her shot, but she messes with the amount of salt or sugar, no fried egg should be so salty that could be called Katsumi sister.
"I am sure her true quirk is making biological weapons disguised as food." Mei laughed while remembering when Izuku got sick for a week for eating her food, who knew that a simple pasta could be more dangerous than a villain? She has been learning at baby steps with Izuku's parents, but still wasn't safe to eat.
They walked to Izuku's home and when they opened the door they heard Kaina laughing in the living room, she was watching some comedy on the Tv, She looks at them and gives a bright smile.
Kaina was a little older and it seems she will get more beautiful as the years pass, her hair was a little longer, reaching the end of her back and her body curves were more prominent.
Kaina started living with the Midoriyas a few months after her talk with Hisashi, they had a guest room and she loved having company instead of just go to an empty house and wait for her next target.
Hisashi kept his word and waited for her to be ready to talk with everyone about her situation, she was afraid of how they would judge her but instead, she was received with open arms from everyone, When the other heroes heard what the Hero Association was doing they wanted nothing more than going there and destroy the whole place and put them in jail.
Hisashi knew that they wouldn't be able to do anything against them without proofs, so they set up a trap and got everything they needed thanks to Kaina, the president tried to kill her, but she was faster and killed him with a shot in the head, some resisted, and even dared to try threat their families, Hisashi wasn't so kind to give them a quick death, after all, how many lives they ruined?
When they went public with what happened, they let Toshi speak, the word of the symbol of peace weighted greatly in their favor. Many of the members of the association were put in jail and many of theirs accomplices vanished or were arrested.
They didn't erase the corruption, but at least they are trying.
"Hey kids, how's school?" She stands and goes to greet them with a tight hug.
"It was cool, we had a test today and we are betting on who got better, which I am sure will be between Me and Melissa," Mei said while Kaina hugs her. "We are here just to get something greenie forgot before we go train, are we going to dad's training ground today?"
"Indeed, I can give you all a ride since Inko left the car to me today." She then goes to the kitchen to grab an apple to eat.
"That would be great, popcorn girl won't say that she lost because she was tired of walking." Neito tease his friend, they were 59-58 in their fights and Neito wouldn't let her forget that one victory.
"Copycat I will wipe the floor with your face if Tsunagu sensei make us fight today." She said with a smirk while looking at her rival.
"I will go there and I will be back in a minute," Izuku said and went upstairs.
"Your birthday is this weekend right Melissa?" Kaina asked while they waited for Izuku.
"Yeah, I will be the first to do ten this Saturday." She then looks to Itsuka. "I guess that will make me the big sister until your birthday right?" She was joking, of course, Itsuka always acted more mature than her the other kids of her age.
"Please, as if you guys don't get in trouble the second I turn away, even Yui, she is quiet but if I let her and Izuku alone, they will try to take thousands of cats and dogs home or try to fight bullies again." She said with fake anger.
When Izuku and Yui heard of Melissa suffering bullying they went together to fight the kids, they got scared when they saw Izuku's swords and Yui's silent death glare while she was holding a huge pencil.
"Hum!" Yui answer while poking her side making her laugh. 'We are not like that, we just want t help people.' She thought while poking her some more.
"She is right doll face, look at me and copycat, we only try to beat each other, glasses and cross eyes only explode machines and man hand only try to beat anyone who talks bad about any motorcycle that she finds." She then points an accusatory finger to the kuudere. "You two try to protect other kids and end up making us go save your butts." everyone agrees with her, it wasn't unusual for them to go help them.
"They are trying to be heroes, I don't like that you kids get into fights, but protect the innocent is what a hero does." Kaina said while looking at the kids." Besides, I doubt Izuku can just go call a teacher, he will always move before thinking." She said with a small smile.
Izuku came back and Kaina gave them a ride so they can train, Izuku, Melissa, Itsuka, and Yui were on Kazuya dojo. Katsumi and Neito were on Tsunagu agency, now that he was doing well in the ranks he finally got his place. and she finally went with Mei to her father's building.
After greeting James, they put on their equipment and went to the training ground, They were equipped with skin-tight suits that had sensors on them.
"Mei did you had any progress in thinking about your signature weapon?" Since the talk they had years ago, Mei was trying to think about what kind of thing would be her mark.
"Nothing yet, I guess I will decide when I get older since I still don't know what I will do yet." Mei had a sad expression on her face, Kaina looks at her and gives her a small smile.
"You will find out, I am sure that no matter what you create will be amazing." She then put her hand on her disciple's shoulder." You and Melissa are the only kids that can build machines even at such young age." She then sees Mei smiling and decides that it was time for them to improve her training again.
Kaina then put a bunch of guns on a table in front of them.
"As always the bullets won't kill anyone, only hurt a little, you will start using bigger guns now, you mastered the bow being only six years old and you are good with small guns. Now is time to play with something with a little more kick." Kaina then grab a old AK-47. "This gun was used in many countries in the past, is so simple and light that kids used them on wars." She then gives the gun to Mei.
"I saw that in some games, Borderlands had some similar guns," Mei said while thinking of all the games they played over the years.
"This gun is so basic in old games that is pretty rare that people don't know her just by looking. All the guns I made you train are only in their most basic models, I plan to teach you to do the maintenance and how to modify your guns as you wish. Adding scopes, extended magazine, firepower, suppressors, etc." Kaina explained and she can see that Mei couldn't wait for it.
"Let's start then!" She grabs the gun and starts feeling it, she got this habit from her mother, examining the gun as if it was part of her body."What will I do today, target practice?" She looks at Kaina excitedly.
"You are good at practicing with simple targets and even is good at shooting moving targets. Now you will do something a little different." Kaina then goes to a nearby panel and starts typing there.
Mei then sees walls rising from the ground and form a labyrinth, Mei then looks to Kaina.
"You will have to protect me today." She starts walking to the door of the labyrinth."There will be robots shooting at us, you must protect me, each time I take a shot, you will be the one that will feel it." She then signs to Mei so she can start walking.
"Okay Kaina sis, stay behind me and I will protect you." She then starts walking with Kaina smiling behind her.
"My hero." She then starts following her disciple, she knew Mei was special and she can't wait to see how she will be when she has her age 'I wonder how the other kids are doing?'
-/ Best Jeanist agency /-
"Copycat I swear to God that if you don't stop being so smug I will throw you from that window." Katsumi was annoyed that she wasn't being able to get close to Neito.
After 6 years of training with Best Jeanist, Neito was able to use his quirk well in combat. His time for copy is now 13 minutes and he was training to use two quirks at the same time.
"Popcorn girl, I thought you were going to wipe the floor with my face?" Neito was talking the whole time since their spar started, trying to make Katsumi angrier since she gets careless when she was angry.
'He only has one more minute, He is smart, has good instincts and a powerful quirk. But god damn it, he needs to learn to shut up, if he didn't talk so much he would win the fights before she could even get close.' Tsunagu thought while looking at his disciple's fight.
They have been fighting and Neito has been able to hit Katsumi multiple times while the girl tries to approach him enough for her explosions to have an effect. Neito mocking her was making her careless, but he was running out of time.
As expected, Neito time ended and Katsumi was now looking at him like a lion to a deer, he then starts running to try to reach Tsunagu, only to Katsumi jump on his back and put one hand on his neck and another to slap his ass with an explosion.
'If they marry in the future I can already see who will wear the pants in the relationship!' Tsunagu smiled knowing that even Mitsuki and Masaru agreed with him since he reported to them about the training sessions.
"Get off me Popcorn girl, you are heave as a whale," Neito said struggling to get up, but his comment only earned another slap.
"How dare you talk like that to a lady, you should ALWAYS say she is light as a feather you insensible idiot." She was pouting while saying that and Tsunagu was trying his best to not laugh.
"If you were a lady I wouldn't say that. You are a rabid animal, you pinscher!" Neito said struggling even more to break free.
"Enough you two!" Tsunagu said in a serious tone, both kids stand up and look at him.
"Neito, how many times have I told you to shut up when you are in a fight?" The boy looks to the ground after losing."If this was a fight against a villain you would be dead, or worse, you could have caused the death of someone." His tone was serious and had great authority over the kids.
"Sorry sir, I know you said that multiple times, but I want to prove that I am as strong as her." He said with his head down.
"I know you are strong and smart Neito, but your only weakness is that you try to feel superior all the time. You must talk less and listen more." He then looks to Katsumi. "And you Katsumi must stop reacting to everything that people say, villains try that all the time and you will only put yourself and others in danger if you let your anger take control."
"Sorry sir, I am trying to keep my calm, but he really knows how to push my buttons." She said with her head down with a little pout.
'Those kids will give me diabetes.' He thinks while looking at both kids, the adults had a poll about which one would confess first and he was sure Katsumi would be the one.
"I know you don't have that problem when you are against other people, when we first fought, both worked together better than many pros." His tone was softer now. "Both are smart and have powerful quirks, have a good rivalry is great to motivate going beyond your limits, but don't act like enemies." He gave them a friendly smile and both kids look at each other.
"Fine!" Neito then offers his hand to Katsumi."Sorry about what I said Katsumi, you aren't heavy, I just wanted to make you lose focus." He said while looking at her.
"It's okay, I know what you were planing, you are strong Neito, everyone admits that so you don't need to prove anything." She then takes his hand but she pouts a little." I know you wanted me to lose focus, but I am still a girl, so don't mention my body." They then laugh a little and Tsunagu was sure he had cavities now.
'I hope they let me make the wedding dress.' He thought while looking at the kids.
-/ Kendo Dojo /-
"Hyah!" Itsuka hit Melissa's chest with an open palm and the girl go back a few steps before trying to kick her face, Itsuka raised her arm to defend herself. "You have the best kick Young Melissa, that really hurt." She said while looking at her friend.
"Just because I have an amazing sensei." She said back teasing her friend. Melissa then try punch Itsuka's chest, but she just grabbed her arm and tossed her on the ground, and put her on an arm lock.
"You are going well my disciple, when you get older you will be able to dodge bullets. Maybe you will dominate the Hadouken at some point." Melissa managed to free herself from the armlock and tried to grab Itsuka's leg but she dodged and tried to kick her.
"You really are the nerd of our group." Melissa teased her and the moment Itsuka gasped she took the chance and ut the redhead in a neck lock.
"Low blow Melissa." Itsuka then rolls with Melissa and free herself, she then pins the girl on the ground. She then looks the girl on the ground in the eyes."Don't act as if you guys don't like to play RPGs with me! You even bought some figures." Melissa then blushed a little, she couldn't deny that it was cool to have the RPG sessions every Friday.
"Okay, I admit that we like." She then turns her head and sees Izuku and Yui training. "I am still surprised Yui would keep coming train with us, she doesn't seem like the type of person that would do this kind of training." She saw Yui grab Izuku's leg and make him lose balance.
"She isn't, She is here only because of us." She sees Izuku grabs Yui's arm and put the girl in a neck lock."People used to bully her before because she is so quiet, that only made her lonely, so she is trying her best to break her shell." Itsuka said with a sad smile on her face, she is happy that her friends accepted Yui in their group and that the girl was opening herself with them.
"It's my win Yui," Izuku said and offered her a hand to stand up.
"Hum" She grabbed his hand, she started training with them after Itsuka insisted so much, she didn't like it in the beginning, but now she enjoyed being able to spar with her friends.'Itsuka is a good teacher, and I like this now.' She thought while keeping her neutral expression.
"Itsuka taught us well, you can go against us now."
"Hm." She answers with the same neutral face, but her eyes told him that she was happy. 'I plan to win someday, just wait and you will see Izu.' She thinks while looking him in the eyes.
Yui thinks that is amazing how her friends can know what she is thinking, they adapted to her quiet personality well and they try their best to make her comfortable.
"Now is you and me Itsuka sensei," Izuku said and the girl just smiled and got ready.
"You two go rest a little while I teach Izuku that he shouldn't tease someone who can kick his butt." She then went to attack him with a kick in his leg.
While Itsuka and Izuku were training Melissa and Yui was drink water, the cold liquid was a blessing after a good training.
"Yui, can I ask you something?" The silent girl looks at her with the same neutral expression, but her eyes showed that she could. "You are always quiet and you don't show your emotions." Yui's eyes got a little sad at hearing that.
'Is not that I can't speak, is just hard to express myself.' She thinks while looking at Melissa.
"I don't mean that as a bad thing, I am just surprised you like to be with us." She then turns to look Yui in the eyes."We are a loud group after all." She then gives a small smile.
"Hum!" Melissa chuckle a little.'I like the company, you guys received me well and can understand me even if I am not good at expressing myself.' She looks at her and after seeing that she got the message they look to Izuku and Itsuka just in time to see her throwing Izuku on over her shoulder and putting him in a neck lock, he tries to escape but she only made it tighter. He then taps her arm because of the lack of oxygen, finishing the fight.
"You are good Izuku, but you need to go on the offensive more. You had plenty of chances, but you don't seem to understand that you can't just defend and counter, you must attack as well." Itsuka said while the boy grabbed her hand to stand up.
"Yeah, your father tells me the same thing, don't worry I will fix that." He then looks at her with determination in his eyes.
From his office Kazuya and Isolte look to the kids, their progress is amazing, Itsuka helped even Yui become stronger.
"You made the right choice in letting her be their teacher." His wife said with a small smile while drinking her tea.
"She has matured a lot because of that and her friends are good kids that are always helping each other." He said looking at his daughter, his eyes full of pride in her.
" I think you should close the dojo this Saturday." He looks to his wife curious about her reason. "Melissa's birthday is this Saturday and I think it would be good if her party was here." She then looks to her husband.
"I was thinking the same thing." He gave her a big smile. "We can't have all the events at Inko and Hisashi's house, I will send a message to everyone telling them to bring everything here on Friday so I can get everything ready in the morning." He had already brought the present for the girl and couldn't wait to see her face when she receives it.
"You think Nezu will be there? He still hasn't met the kids." Isolte asked curiously if the UA principal would finally be able to attend a party.
"This time he will, we can't forget that he isn't only the principal but also the one that is helping fight the corruption in the hero association." He knows Nezu was a busy person, but the principal was annoyed that every time he planned to meet the kids something happened.
This time Nezu said fuck it and decided that he would be at Melissa's birthday party and that would be the first of many, he heard the adults talking about the kid's progress and he doesn't like being the only one that couldn't be there.
"We are working hard to help him be able to be there this time, they will be his students after all." The adults made sure to be present at every birthday party of the kids. Toshi, Mirai, and Tsunagu made sure to appear even if they had work that day, so Nezu was angry that he was the only one that couldn't participate.
After the kid's training they went to Izuku's house to watch a movie there, they decided to watch Predator since Melissa's birthday was near and they would let her decide. This was already a common thing for them. Go to school, train, and have fun at one of their houses.
"Hey, guys?" Izuku said while being destroyed in The King of Fighters by Yui, they are having a friendly tournament. "I was talking with my father and he gave me something cool." He had a smirk on his face, when he lost he passed the control to Neito.
"Will he finally give you legends that can summon fantasy creatures like dragons or faeries?" Katsumi said while looking at Neito being humiliated by Yui.
"He told me that he will let me read them soon, don't worry when I summon a dragon I will call everyone." He smiled while looking at her. "He gave me a new legend today." Neito lost and passed the control to Mei, but they paused the game and look to Izuku.
"Which legend greenie?" Mei asked curious about what he got now.
"Gilgamesh, The King of Heroes. The first hero in human history, king of Uruk, and owner of all treasures of the world. If exist, belongs to him." He said and couldn't help but laugh at the face of his friends.
"Wow, so he is the strongest legend?" Katsumi looks at him surprised about the possibility.
"I guess he is, when I master his legend we can discover." He said and they were looking at him surprised.
"You guys can talk about training tomorrow, I want to see who will defeat Yui." Kaina was sitting there eating her pizza while looking at the silent beauty winning again.
"Hum!" Yui answer while looking to her next victim that was Katsumi.'Prepare to lose pinscher!' She thought while looking at the girl.
"I know you thought something rude doll face, I will destroy you as I did with copycat in the training," Katsumi said full of confidence.
Yui defeated everyone including Kaina in every round.
-/ All might agency /-
"So the future hadn't changed?" Toshi asked while looking to Hisashi."Melissa turns ten in less than 3 days." He was scared of passing his power to her, but he made a promise.
"I used Solomon clairvoyance every year and I got some information that I used to change some futures, like preventing Kaina prison and death." He then looks to David. "Sorry David, but Melissa must receive One for All." his sad expression made clear that even he didn't like that.
"After her birthday." David looks to Toshinori."After her birthday party, I want you to pass the quirk for her." His tone made clear that he was holding back his emotions.
"David, I don't like this neither, but you know us. We will die before something happens to those kids." His tone was serious and this wasn't a promise from the symbol of peace, but a friend. They then hear Hisashi chuckle a little.
"You guys are forgetting something." He then sees their confused faces and laughed a little."I gave Gilgamesh Legend to Izuku today." Their eyes widened at that.
"Are you crazy Hisashi, Izuku is too young to use that legend," Toshinori said looking with shock at his friend.
"Oh please! Izuku have already mastered 18 legends. He can deal with this one as well, will be good so he can protect his friends if necessary." He said with a smile on his face.
"18? Which legends he already mastered?" Mirai was surprised, he knows the kid's progress was amazing, but this?
"Cú Chulainn, Leonidas I , Robin Hood, Senji Muramasa, Edward Teach, Iskandar, Paracelsus von Hohenheim, Charles-Henri Sanson, Hassan of the Cursed Arm, Heracles, Beowulf, Billy the kid, Lancelot, Vlad III, Sigurd, Siegfried, Achilles, and Li Shuwen." Hisashi said each legend and they were surprised because they knew some of those legends were strong enough to defeat All might without a problem.
"It wasn't easy, some took a long time to memorize and he knew that he couldn't use the Noble phantasms as he pleased, they have conditions for use and couldn't be used all the time," Hisashi said while looking to Toshi.
"You are crazy, but maybe that is why you are the strongest," Mirai said while looking to his friend.
"All right then, I will go home now. Don't worry you two, Melissa will have all our support. What kind of hero I would be if I couldn't even protect my son's niece?" With that said, Hisashi gave a hug to each of them and went home, Toshinori and David just look at each other.
"I know that everyone will do everything they can to protect her, but I am still worried," David said while looking through the window.
"You are her father, you will always see her as the baby you had on your arms for the first time ten years ago," Toshinori said while looking to his friend.
"I know, no matter what happens, I will be there for her," David said looking to Mirai and Toshi.
They went home knowing this weekend would be really busy.
Next chapter is Melissa party and Toshinori must pass his power to the next generation. Be ready for a really emotional moment next chapter.
