Sorry for the short chapter, i was so busy this week that I didn't have time to write. As always, the feedback is appreciated and stay tuned on my twitter for polls, previews and more content about the fic.
The kids were at lunch hour and they decided to eat on the roof so they could have some privacy to talk about how to help Melissa.
"So you still don't have any idea how to use it without the risk of exploding?" Mei asked while eating her sandwich. It has been almost 3 weeks since Melissa got her quirk from All Might.
"I feel like is missing something, like the quirk is trying to make me go all out when I should be holding back." Melissa has been able to use One for All, but she broke the golem all the time. Hisashi was thinking of ways to help her, but since Toshinori could use at 100% since day one it was hard for him to help.
"Maybe that's the problem? You are trying too much, Uncle Hisashi told us many times when we were training that we should relax and clear our minds right?" Neito's quirk may not be as dangerous as hers, but he understood that she was nervous.
"Try to relax when your quirk is trying to kill you dumbass, she is doing what she can, but let's not forget how strong the quirk is." Katsumi understands how scary that power is, suddenly receiving the power of the symbol of peace would scare anyone.
"Hmm!" Yui hummed while poking Katsumi.'She is already worried enough, stop bothering her' She already knows the girl is worried about the quirk and didn't need to have more reasons for that.
"We saw All Might use that power before and what he can do, can't your parents make some support item to help her?" Itsuka sees heroes using that to keep a limit or boost their quirks.
They then look to Izuku that was quiet the whole time, which was weird because usually, he would be muttering about the quirk now.
"Greenie? You are too quiet, what are you thinking?" Mei asked finishing her sandwich."Are you not feeling well?" Her question made the group look to Izuku.
He was looking to the ground with a serious expression, but the weird thing was the lack of mutter, this was a clear sign that must be serious if he wasn't doing it.
"Hey! Icchan!" Katsumi started poking his side making him giggle a little and getting his attention.
"S-Stop that." He then sees everyone looking at him."W-what?"
"You were all serious and quiet, we are thinking of a way to help Melissa." Neito was looking at him as if that was obvious.
"Sorry about that guys, I was thinking about some legends." He knows he should help Melissa, but he wanted to become stronger too.
"Why? Are you having problems with Gilgamesh legend?" Itsuka wanted to see Izuku using that legend since she saw Hisashi's demonstration.
"No, I am doing well, I was just thinking that not all the legends are about heroes, Blackbeard was a bad guy that killed many. He is a legend, but not a good guy, so what is necessary to become a legend? Just be famous? If that is the case..." Izuku then starts his mumble about what makes someone a legend.
"There it is! His muttering is like an OST in a game, don't feel right to battle without it." Neito laughed at his friend's habit.
"I think that what makes a legend is a fact they have a great effect on the history, they put a mark on the whole world." Itsuka was also curious about what makes someone a legend, that way they could understand more of Izuku's quirk.
"Every legend Icchan got until now had a great effect on the world, good or bad, they are all part of human history." Melissa always liked history, so a quirk that used heroes from human history was something she loves to study.
"Hey, guys!" Mei called them."If we don't stop greenie he will soon die by the lack of hair." She was pointing at Izuku still muttering.
"Is Yui turn now!" Neito said while looking to the kuudere.
She just nods and goes to Izuku and slaps his face, not hard to hurt, but strong enough to make a sound.
"OUCH! Why you guys always do that? Can't you guys just call me or something?" He asked rubbing his cheek.
"NO!" Everyone said in unison.
"Is funnier that way," Katsumi said while everyone laughed.
"I think Melissa is thinking too much, the same thing would happen if Mei got that quirk. Both are the smartest of us, but that is the problem when in combat, when we are training, we know you guys will win if we let you have time to think." Izuku was smart too, but he learned to trust his instincts when in combat.
"Yeah, you are thinking too much, remember what Uncle Hisashi said, you must clear your mind, relax." Neito tried to think about how to make her relax.
"HM!" Yui called and everyone look at her with the device on her wrist showing that a new arcade was opening today.'We could all go there to have some fun, Melissa would be more relaxed right?' She would do what was possible to help her friends.
"Good idea Yui, we can go there today since we don't have training." It was good luck that their parents had a mission today, so they had free time today.
"Nice doll face! We can have fun there and then when Uncle Hisashi gets home you can try again." Katsumi was excited now.
"Thanks, guys, let's have lots of fun today," Melissa said while smiling at her friends.
After school was over, they went to the new arcade that was a 10-minute walk from school to there. They saw a lot of games and decided to compete.
"All right! The winner will get all the tickets!" Itsuka said looking at a black jacket she saw and if she is lucky enough maybe she can get even the gloves too.
"Get ready to cry Man hands, that punching bag is mine." Katsumi wouldn't run from the competition.
They started playing a dance game, then went to air hockey, throw rings, race, arcades, punching machine, etc.
What they didn't expect was Yui winning every game with a perfect score, she won easily the tickets and went to the cashier and asked for a huge stuffed Godzilla toy.
"HM!" Yui's eyes were full of happiness, she was hugging the toy. She got some candy rings for everyone with the remaining tickets.
"I thought she was good only at video games," Neito said while licking his candy. He wanted the toy F-22 jet for his collection.
"Even the staff was scared of how good she is." Mei couldn't believe she lost a chance to get the cool gun model she saw.
"Come on guys! We had fun and that is what matters." Izuku tried to cheer everyone, but he wanted the All Might figure he saw.
"Yeah, it was fun to see Yui kick our butts, thanks for the candy too Yui." Melissa joked a little, she wanted the wireless headset, but she had so much fun that she didn't care anymore.
"If people know the real doll face she would be called Queen Gamer instead of Ice queen." Katsumi teased her friend.
"HM!" Yui looked to Katsumi and pointed to her toy to mock her since she won.'Shut up noob!'
"Ohh! You shouldn't try to provoke her after losing to her the way you did." Itsuka smirk only got wider when she saw Katsumi pouting.
After they went to Izuku's house, they decided to take a bath and eat something while they waited for their parents.
Hisashi came back first, as usual, they were playing in Izuku's room.
"Hey, kids! Ready to train a little?" He asked with his usual enthusiasm.
"Hey, dad! Sure, we were waiting for you." Izuku paused the game and got up to go train.
"Hi uncle Hisashi, I am ready to try again," Melissa said in a happy tone and Hisashi could see that she was more relaxed today.
"Good, let's go in the yard then." Hisashi patted her head and smiled.
They went there and Hisashi summoned the two golems again and put the glyph on her head.
"Okay Melissa, Clear your mind, let the energy flow through your body. I put a barrier around us so we don't have to worry" Hisashi saw her closing her eyes and taking deep breaths.
She then started to remember her previous attempts and started to panic.
"You can do it glasses, stop worrying about everything, and just relax," Katsumi yelled while sitting on the bench.
"You are thinking too much Melissa, be calm and focus on controlling the flow," Mei said while looking at her.
"If you are doubting yourself, believe in us that we believe in you." Itsuka was cheering for her
"HM!" Yui was holding Her toy with a little more strength, she was worried about her friend.
"Don't try to force it, relax," Neito said trying to make her calm herself.
"You are strong Melissa, you will be a great hero." Izuku was trying his best to motivate her.
She was starting to calm herself, the energy started to flow at her body. The white lightings and red marks on her body.
When she opened her eyes, she was smiling. She then punched the golem destroying him.
"That was amazing Melissa, look," Mei said while pointing to the golem with the glyph.
The golem was almost intact, the arm was only a little damaged, but it was still there.
"I did it!" She said and jumped happily."I really did it!"
The kids came running and got her in a group hug, praising her.
'They support each other as brothers and sisters, they aren't friends, they are a family.' Hisashi thought smiling and for a moment he saw them as full adults. 'Those kids will reach the stars.'
"What are you all smiling? Your training is just beginning." He said smirking while looking at them. "Get ready for the next step, the path just gets harder from now on."
-/ All for One Secret Base/-
"This is impressive doctor, so those are the fruit of your research?" All for One said while looking at the corpses floating in the tubes full of gree liquid.
"Indeed sir! I call it Nomu, they are made using mainly corpses. I can put many quirks on them, making it as strong as All Might." Kyudai Garaki said while smiling at his creation.
"You can put any quirk on them?" The boss asked and the doctor nodded. "I will make some research, I want a unit that is made to hold someone like All Might." He said while looking at the creature.
"Hold? Why not kill him?" The doctor was confused why not just kill him.
"Because I will kill him, but I want the Nomu to be strong enough to hold someone like him because I know that fool Toshinori already passed the quirk." He said while thinking about his next steps.
"What about Hisashi Midoriya? His quirk would be the only one to be able to go against you." He asked curious about what his boss was planning.
"Hisashi won't go against us, I know him too well. Don't worry about him." His smile said enough for the doctor to drop the subject.
"You said All Might already passed the quirk, why not go there and steal from the new user?" He never understood why not just steal the quirk.
"Because that quirk is the other half of mine, I can't steal myself even if it is in another person." He explained while walking to the door. "I hope you have an army of those soon, I will prepare everything for our new base."
-/ Nezu Office at U.A. /-
"Stop acting like he is innocent Nezu, we all know that Hisashi is more dangerous than any villain." The actual president of the Hero Association was in front of Nezu with a frown on her face.
She was a young woman with shoulder-length blonde hair, grey eyes in a black business suit, and glasses.
"I understand what you mean miss Kura, but I won't help you against Hisashi or Kaina." Nezu then takes a sip of his tea."I know what the association does in the shadows, Kaina is only free right now because you cowards are too scared of what Hisashi can do."
"That bitch killed the previous president, and he is helping her? Both must pay for what they did." Her tone was getting angrier at each word."And now his little brat got his quirk? That child will be put on a leash soon."
"The president died from a heart attack. That is what the association said right?" His smirk only annoyed the woman and he knew that."I don't see how she would be able to make someone have a heart attack. And you won't put a single finger on that boy." The last sentence had a serious tone that Nezu usually didn't use.
"Tell me Nezu, what would you do if you lost your precious school, you can be the smartest animal in the world, but you are still an animal. If we decide, you lose that school and are locked in a cage so people can make experiments with you again." She was looking in his eyes, she would do what was necessary to reach her objective.
"If you would do that, Hisashi wouldn't be the only one hunting you. I doubt you would want to start a civil war." His tone was serious and he kept eye contact.
"Civil war? Because of a school? Don't make me laugh Nezu, you are overestimating your value." She knows he is an important figure, but he was still just a school principal.
"If you try to touch that boy, His father will hunt and kill everyone in the hero association, from the janitor to you. Some heroes could try to get in his way, but many more would take his side. All Might, Nagant, Black Lotus, Best Jeanist, etc." He then takes another sip from his tea.
"He would not only kill you, but he would also destroy your mind before he broke your body. There are many villains out there that are afraid of Hisashi, even the symbol of fear wouldn't be stupid enough to try touching his family." He sees the woman look away for an instant, thinking about what he said.
"You will regret your decision Nezu, Hisashi may have a powerful quirk, but some names have great weight on this country, you can keep playing with him for some time, but not even All Might can't stand against the association." She then turned around and walked out of his office.
'They are truly desperate to put their hands on the boy, you never stop to impress me Hisashi. Being able to go even against the government without fear or hesitation?' Nezu thought for a moment before grabbing the telephone and calling someone.
"You won't fight alone my friend, I will do everything I can to help you." After a few seconds, the person answered.
"Hello? Who is it?" The voice answer the phone.
"It's me Nezu." He answers looking to the files on his table. "I need your help."
And here is chapter 16, sorry again if it is short. But the i promise the next chapter will be longer, see you guys next chapter.
