Am I late? No, because I never said the updates would be weekly. Muahahaha! The next chapter is the return of classes and the preparation for the sports festival. Enjoy the chapter.
Izuku borrowed All Might truck so he could get everything on Takoba beach, after so many years that place was still a junkyard.
"I was thinking about it for some time, but what about we clean this place?" Itsuka was looking at all the trash around them.
"I think that's a good idea, we will take parts for our vehicles anyway so we can clean this place too." He know the beach was big and would be beautiful when they finish.
"Hm!" Yui gave the thumbs up, she would like to help clean the beach. It would be good training for her.
"We better warn the others so they don't wait for us." Itsuka pulls her phone and sends a message on the group chat. "Let's look around and divide things on want and trash."
"Yes ma'am!" Izuku and Yui say in unison giving her a salute while smiling, Itsuka rolls her eyes at that.
"You guys are ridiculous." The small smile on her face betrayed her verbal jab.
They look around for some time and they were working fast since Yui quirk was great for that.
After a few minutes of cleaning, Izuku hear something, it was weak and barely audible.
"Girls, come here!" He calls them while they were putting more things on the truck.
"What?" Itsuka came drinking some water, they were working hard under the sun, so they are sweating a lot.
"I heard something over there." He points to a pile of fridges. "It was weak, but I am sure there's something over there."
Itsuka and Yui look at each other and start following Izuku, they hear something too. They start looking around and listening to the noise getting louder, they reach a fridge and the noise was coming from there.
"Looks like it's here, let's see what is it." Izuku was about to open the fridge.
"What if it's rats?" Izuku stops midway and looks at Yui. "Or maybe a bunch of cockroaches?"
"If that is the case I will scream, grab Izuku with my quirk and use him as a weapon to kill them." Itsuka enlarges her right hand to reinforce the threat.
"C-Come on Itsuka! You are okay with Nezu." Izuku was worried now, he wasn't good with cockroaches.
"It's different, he is a mysterious animal that remembers a rat, not completely a rat." Itsuka pushes him to the fridge with her enlarged hand and takes a few steps back with Yui. "Open up, we will be here."
Izuku grabs the fridge and his heart almost stops, he wasn't ready for this. He put his hands inside and pulls what was making the noises.
"Girls, there's two puppies here. They look hungry like they were locked here for some time." Izuku shows two mongrels, one was white with blue eyes, the other was completely black with green eyes. They were so thin that they could see the ribs easily, their eyes are begging for help.
"They must be thirsty too, I will get the water for them." Itsuka pats their head before going to the truck to get water.
"They aren't tall enough to reach this fridge, someone must have put them there." Yui's tone was cold, it was rare for her to show any emotion, anger was even rarer.
Izuku knows how she feels, he never understood why some people would abuse animals.
"Here's the water, we don't have anything to feed them so I guess I will need to go buy something." Itsuka put the water on a bucket they got there and see the dogs were indeed thirsty.
"I will go, I am faster thanks to my legends." Izuku was about to use his quirk when he was stopped by Itsuka.
"After what happened at UA, do you want to risk the villains following you? I will go." Itsuka went to the truck. "I will be back soon."
They see Itsuka driving away and decide to take a small break while taking care of the dogs.
"What are you going to do? I think your parents may let you keep them." Yui was rubbing the head of one of them while he empty the bucket.
"I may do that, Maybe they can help me with rescue missions?" Izuku laughs a little thinking about them on hero costumes like the cartoons for kids.
"The white is male and the black is female, I can help you take care of them if you want." Yui like animals, she didn't need to talk and they would understand her.
"Since you are offering, how about you name one? I name the other." He gave her a small smile and she looks at the white dog.
"I think his name should be Simo" She sees Izuku looking at her with a raised brow. "You have the powers of legends and don't know about Simo Häyhä? He is the most famous sniper in history. He is known as White Death."
"I know who he is, I am surprised that you have interest in something like this." He rubs the back of his head with one hand while rubbing Simo's ears with the other.
"We learn a lot with each other, I know you searched and watched all Ultra series because of me." Her blue eyes are staring at his green eyes intensely. "You did it so I would be comfortable and have something to talk about with you."
"Itsuka told you that? I asked her to keep a secret." He sees that she got a small smile on her face. "W-What?"
"She didn't, it was a bluff. I just noticed that you started talking about it sometime after we met." She sees him blushing madly after that.
"I did notice you were uncomfortable and decided to try to help you relax." Izuku was embarrassed by admitting that.
"I know, thank you." She just gave him a small smile making him blush, it was rare for her to do that.
"I think I will name her Brunhilde." He rubs the black dog's ears. "What do you think?"
"The valkyrie? Cool, the white death and a valkyrie that takes the best warriors to Valhalla." Yui stands and went to get more parts they might need. "Let's get back to work."
"Sure, Itsuka will be back soon anyway." He sends a picture of the dogs to his friends and family.
They clean more and more of the beach while the dogs were resting, Izuku know they must be weak since they didn't react much to them.
After a few minutes, Itsuka was back with the dog food, she grabs the bowls and put the food there for them. They start sniffing the air because of the food and their ears perked up, Itsuka came and put the food on a metal plate for them.
They ate as fast as they could, it took two minutes for them to finish the food, Itsuka was tempted to put more, but she thought it was better to take them to the vet first.
"They look better now, have you thought of names yet?" She asks Izuku while she rubs their ears.
"The male will be Simo and the female is Brunhilde." Izuku put his hand on Yui's shoulder. "Yui chose the name of Simo."
"Oh? Because of the famous sniper?" She sees Yui nodding. "Cool, and Brunhilde is a good name too."
Itsuka stands and went to help them load the truck, they were working a lot and in the afternoon, half of the beach was clean.
"We worked a lot, we take more time separating everything that can be used and making sure the piles won't fall on us, than loading the truck." Izuku decided to take his shirt off when the heat and his sweat were being too much for him to handle.
"I agree, it's too hot today." Itsuka had pulled her shirt up and wrapped it just below her chest so her abs were free for the world to admire.
"I am pretty sure it's your abs that are making everything so hot, are you both trying to seduce me?" Yui was staring at their abs intensely.
They were used to that since they train together since they were kids, but Yui's comments still made both embarrassed.
"It's too hot for that Yui." Izuku looks at his wrist and sees he had messages, he starts reading them and got a small smile on his face. "Looks like Simo and Brunhilde are part of the Midoriya family now."
"I knew your parents would let you keep them, your family loves to adopt anyone in trouble." Itsuka laughs knowing that this was something Izuku got from his parents.
"How about you ask Nezu permission to take them to UA? Train them so they can help with your hero work?" Yui was eating a strawberry popsicle while checking her messages.
"That's a good idea, they can help with rescue missions a lot, and to find people hiding." Izuku looks at both dogs lying beside him. "They are still young, so it will take time."
"Give them a sword and they can fight like Sif from Dark Souls." Itsuka sees both looking at her. "What?"
"I was expecting Yui to say that." Izuku look at Yui and back to Itsuka. "I guess we learn a lot with each other."
"Speaking of that, I made some research and found an old game that I think everyone will love to play. It's called Spore, we create a simple cell and evolve it until we create a race with enough intellect to explore the space, we can even change the atmosphere of other planets to put our colonies there." Yui explains while looking for good videos to show them.
"Looks interesting, so the game explores the evolution theory?" Itsuka was interested, every time Yui recommend a game they end up enjoying it a lot.
"We have unlimited customization, we even have total freedom to decide how we will play." Yui opens some videos and shows the amazing creations people did on the game.
"This looks cool, send me the link later." Izuku thinks it's interesting the idea of creating a whole species.
They hear some noise and turn to see the three cars their friends borrowed from their parents.
"Oh my! Nice abs you three, Greenie is ripped, Itsuka is defined, and Yui is slim. I like it." Setsuna winks at the group making them roll their eyes.
"So those are the dogs? They look weak, probably too long without eating or drinking anything." Mei came and see the dogs hiding behind Izuku and Yui.
"So they see you as their guardians already? Interesting." Melissa had a hand on her chin while looking at them.
"Will you keep them?" Neito likes dogs a lot, and he knows Vlad King would scold them if they just leave the dogs here.
"My parents told me to take them home, we will keep them." Izuku was rubbing Brunhilde's head.
"Just make sure to keep them on a leash, we already have Katsumi running around." Setsuna jokes and sees clear anger in Katsumi's eyes.
"At least they will take their vaccines without bitting us, unlike her." Neito and Setsuna start laughing louder as Katsumi starts chasing them.
"Come back here you idiots, I will rip those tongues of yours." Katsumi was chasing both while the others just roll their eyes.
"You decided the names?" Inasa was looking at both dogs with interest.
"Simo and Brunhilde." Yui rubs Simo's ears and the dog relaxes a little. "Because of the famous sniper and the valkyrie."
"Cool, you guys cleaned a lot." Shoto was looking around the beach and see the truck loaded.
"Yui quirk is useful for this kind of work." Itsuka grabs another popsicle from the cooler.
"We can all come here tomorrow to finish cleaning, You guys did too much already." Juzo was impressed that they decided to do something like this outside school activities.
"I agree, we still need to ask my father to take a look at the dogs." Izuku got a little more water for the dogs.
"We got many things and can start working on our babies after we help you guys clean the rest of the beach." Mei was excited to start their project.
"We can also work on the AI project too, we may need your help with the materials Izuku." Melissa turns to her friend and sees him nodding.
"Let's get home and come back tomorrow to finish this." Shoto then turns to Mei. "Don't try to do the same thing you did at your father's workshop."
"Don't question my geniality." Mei had a maniac smirk on her face.
"What she do this time?" Melissa looks at Mei as a mother that was about to scold her kid.
"She tried to put everything on rockets and send it to your place." Inasa explains making them look at Mei disapproving.
"Good thing you asked both to go with her." Itsuka was rubbing her eyes, one thing that they agree is that Mei, Katsumi, and Neito can't be left alone, or near each other.
"I will take them home so my father can take a look at them." Izuku rubs the dog's ears before going to the truck they were loading all day.
"Wait, Let me drive." Inasa goes to the driver's side. "We need to drop everything at Melissa's workshop, so I will give you a ride home and leave everything at her place."
"Good Idea, I will text my father and tell him you are going there." Melissa then starts typing to her father. "Will you play with us today Izuku?"
"Yeah, we still have to defeat Yui." He let the dogs sit between him and Inasa. "Tonight we play Serious Sam collection."
"Good luck with that noobs!" Yui likes it when they unite against her, it was even better at FPS and RTS games.
"See you guys later, bring your swimsuits and some meat tomorrow, we can have barbeque here after finishing." Inasa put on his belt and prepared to leave.
"Good idea, we can plan our vehicles and the robots while we eat." Itsuka will bring her surfboard too since it's been a while.
"Let's talk more later when we are playing." Shoto was already thinking about what kind of robot he wanted.
"Shoto can keep the drinks cool while he uses the flames to grill the meat." Juzo looks at his friend. "If it's not a problem?"
"It's cool, I can do it." Shoto just shrugged.
"This will be great." Inasa starts driving away.
"Let's go home then, all of us need a bath and a good meal." Melissa then looks at Mei's eyes with a frown on her face. "You better take a bath too Mei, or I will tell your parents to banish you from working on your babies."
"Okay, mom!" Mei rolls her eyes while smirking. "I am not a kid."
"That's what makes it worse." Itsuka laughs at Mei pouting.
"What about those three?" Yui points in the direction of Setsuna, Neito, and Katsumi.
"Leave them, they will kiss and make up later." Juzo is impressed that they could still do that after the day they had.
-/ All Might Agency /-
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Mirai was sitting in front of his friend that was staring at his phone for some time. "Hisashi may be lying."
"He is a bastard that likes to manipulate the others, but he is not a liar." Toshi knows Hisashi wouldn't lie about something like this. "I will talk with him in person and hear his side of the story."
"Hisashi could have killed him already if he wanted, but he was too busy taking care of his family." Mirai has to admit that the man's dedication to his family was inspiring. "We never understand his reasons, but if All for One went to him then things will be complicated."
"I failed as a hero, Hisashi was right for hiding everything." Toshi rubs his eyes stressed. "Every time I look at David and Melissa I remember what Hisashi said would happen to them."
"He changed many things because he was worried. I can see the future too, but Hisashi never accepted the fate that was written." Mirai always thought fate couldn't be denied, but he changed his perspective after seeing so many changes.
"There are things that you can't solve by just punching them, if he didn't have to hide his true ´powers he would be the symbol of peace." Toshi was thinking about Nana's grandson. "I will talk with Gran Torino and decide what to do after that."
Toshi grabs his phone and dials his teacher's number, he just waits a few moments before he hears the old voice.
"Toshinori? So you still remember my number? I thought you had forgotten about me." The tired voice made Toshi feel uneasy.
"It's been a while, can we talk in person? It's important and involves my master and One for All." Toshi was at the point of no return now.
"Nana? Okay, we can talk at my place." His tone made clear he was surprised. "You still remember where it is right?"
"Yes sir! I will go there tomorrow." Toshi heard him hanging up. "Even after all those years, I am still scared of seeing him."
"Do you want Hisashi to go with you?" Mirai smirks at the fear he sees in his eyes.
"Don't even joke about it." He will hear Gran Torino tomorrow and if he is lucky, Hisashi won't know about it.
-/ Midoriya House /-
"They are malnourished, no diseases, but we better keep an eye on them." Hisashi was examining the dogs since he got home. "I will take them to a vet tomorrow to make sure they take their vaccines."
"Until we are sure they are vaccinated and took a bath, don't let them inside the house." Inko needs to be careful for now, they were in a junkyard so better safe than sorry.
"I have to admit the names are good, if you train them well they can be a great help." Kaina loves cute and beautiful things, so animals are her weakness.
"Thanks for everything dad." Izuku was glad his parents let him keep the dogs.
"They smell weird." Izumi covers her nose while looking at the dogs. "They smell like Kaina food."
"My food smells like dirty dogs!" Kaina crouch in the corner while rubbing circles on the ground.
"Don't be like that Kaina sis, you are a lot better than when you started." Izuku tries to comfort her.
"Yeah, at least is not poison anymore." Hisashi couldn't resist teasing her.
"You are not helping dear." Inko came to pat her head. "You just need to practice a little more."
"Can I help you with supper today?" Kaina looks at Inko with puppy eyes.
"Sure! Everyone will love it." Inko turns to her family with a deadly aura around her. "Isn't that right?"
"Of course mom." Izumi was hiding behind her brother.
"I would love that honey!" Hisashi may be a lot stronger than her, but she could do things to keep him in line.
"Splendid! Let's go Kaina." Inko and Kaina go to the kitchen and Izuku pat his sister and father head.
"Good luck!" He went to take a bath before eating.
They were surprised that the food tasted good, Kaina had improved sure, but they were still worried. After eating, Izuku went to put more food for the dogs.
He sits there in silence while looking at them, he hears footsteps and sees his father sitting beside him.
"Simo Häyhä! Yui sure knew what she was doing, after the war, he became a dog breeder." He looks at the dogs eating. "Brunhilde was also smart, they match well."
"Nezu said I can bring them to UA and train them." Izuku was happy Nezu agreed. "He said that it was a good decision to keep them."
"Treating animals with love and care makes you gain many points with Nezu, for obvious reasons." Hisashi put a hand on his son's shoulder. "Some legends have strong bonds with animals, Qin Shi Huang has a great affinity with centipedes."
"I know Iskandar has a good bond with his horse and bulls, but a centipede?" Izuku was interested, some aspects of the legends are still a mystery for him.
"How about this? I will give you Simo Häyhä and Qin Shi Huang legend, and you use them at UA." He points at the dogs. "When you have permission to use them, you use Simo legend. When you can't, you use Qin Shi Huang legend, I may even get a centipede for you to use."
"Use it? You still haven't explained his affinity with them." Izuku only sees his father smiling, he knows he won't get much more unless he agrees with his challenge. "Fine, I will do that. I will need to start reading their legend now if I want to be able to use it."
"Just make sure to not use the centipede near your mother, actually, don't use near any of them." Hisashi still remembers Inko's reaction the first time he used Qin Shi Huang legend.
"I admit that I am curious about those legends now, there are so many legends around the world." Izuku was looking at the sky.
"You will be surprised with some of them, I will not spoil the fun but some legends will make you want to go explore the world. I will leave their legends in your room, read as soon as you can." He pats his son's head before standing. "Good night son!"
"Good night dad." Izuku was looking at the sky thinking about what to do. 'Explore the world sounds good.'
He feels some lick on his hand and sees Simo and Brunhilde licking his hand. He pats their heads and looks into their eyes.
"Two defenseless creatures that suffered some of the human malice." He sees both lay down at his side. "You two are probably the first animals I did rescue, and if I am being honest, I hope I can help others too."
He will be a hero, so he will save anyone who needs him. Izuku stands and goes inside to wash his hands and play with his friends, they were destroyed by Yui again.
-/ Takoba Beach - Next day afternoon /-
The finished cleaning the beach, with so many people helping it was easy. Mei and Melissa even suggested repairing things like fridges, televisions, radios, etc. so they could sell them and get money for any parts they didn't find.
They changed into their swimsuits and the guys were in charge of the barbeque while the girls were setting the towels, umbrellas, seats, etc.
Izuku told them about his talk with his father yesterday and how some legends seem to have an affinity with some animals.
"Please tell me you won't summon things like cockroaches." Itsuka was looking at him slightly nervous. She was wearing a simple blue bikini top with black bottom.
"I don't know, maybe?" Izuku was joking, of course, he can't handle them neither, he was wearing green trunks.
"It's possible that since Simo had a good affinity with dogs, you may be able to do something with dogs when you use his legend? Like controlling some breeds or something?" Neito was curious now, he was wearing black trunks with blue horizontal stripes.
"That's actually interesting, Neito." Melissa put a hand on her chin in deep thought. She was wearing a yellow leopard bikini. "Maybe some legends have passive effects on those around you?"
"Emiya legend allows him to make mental images of the things he sees, even their materials, and summon them with his powers." Shoto was using his flames to grill the meat, he was wearing red trunks with two white vertical stripes on the side.
"Lancelot gives him the ability to use any weapon as if he trained with it his whole life." Mei was putting on an umbrella, she was wearing a black bikini.
"Jack allows him to turn anything he touches into a weapon." Yui was using her quirk to put the chairs and table into place, She was wearing a white bikini with red flowers on it.
"Those legends are multiple quirks huh?" Inasa was carrying the cooler with the drinks for them, he was wearing dark blue trunks.
"I am more curious about the whole centipede thing." Katsumi was passing the cups full of soda for them, she was wearing a red swimsuit.
"What if it involves poison? Centipedes are venomous after all." Juzo was helping With the meat, he was wearing brown trunks.
"If you summon a dinosaur I want to ride it." Setsuna was putting the plates on the table, she was wearing a green bikini.
"I can't wait to see what they can do, it may take at least a month to be able to use Simo legend since it's short, but Qin legend will take longer."
"You can use Lu Bu legend already, he is bonded to Qin Shi Huang so it may be easy." Melissa remembers he mentioning this before.
"We will have to wait to see." Izuku had already started reading Simo legend last night.
"Yeah, yeah, legends are cool, but I think it's time for us to talk about our babies!" Mei couldn't wait anymore.
"All right Mei, tell us what you have planned." Melissa know Mei's head would explode if she didn't talk about her babies regularly.
"Hehe! How about this?" She shows them her project on the screen of her device. "I worked on it all night, this is the design I thought for my baby."
They look at the design Mei did for her robot and were impressed, it looks almost human.
"Looks like an android." Katsumi knows it was just a prototype but looks impressive already.
"I have been reading my father's research about AI too, I am sure I can work on something soon, the biggest problem is finding a way to keep the hardware compact." Melissa shows her project to them. "I am working on a way to make the motherboard and the core smaller and more resistant, but with the materials we have is hard to do it."
"Another problem is the risk of overheating it because of the components." Izuku was looking at the project and see that they need to find a way to refrigerate it.
"How about you ask your father if it's possible to use runes to keep the temperature?" Katsumi may not be good with technology, but she could at least try.
"That's a good idea, but I doubt that can be used for mass production, and Izuku may not be free to help all the time." Itsuka know he could do it for this project, but if they decided to do more in the future they will need to think about a way to do it without him.
"How about propane or liquid nitrogen?" Yui thought that those would make it possible.
"It can help, we need to run some simulations to see if work." Melissa was liking their suggestions, her friend always gave a new perspective for her work.
"Yeah, yeah, let's eat before the food gets cold instead of those high-tech things." Setsuna passes their plates full of meat.
"UA has sports festival every year. How about we forget the vehicles for now and focus on those robots?" Shoto was getting his plate from Setsuna.
"That would help you two a lot, many people watch the festival and this will allow you to gather sponsors." Juzo knows that as heroes they can make money, but Mei and Melissa would need sponsors for their projects.
"Thanks, guys!" Mei stands with her fists raised. "Let's make the best babies of the world and become the best heroes and inventors."
Her enthusiasm was contagious and everyone raised their fists with her. They would work hard to prepare everything for the sports festival, even if they have no idea of how it will be.
Here we have some new additions for the Midoriya family. Izuku will explore more about the affinities some legends have with specific things like animals, machines, plants, etc. Thanks for the feedback and about the pairs, I will keep it a secret to avoid spoilers. See you next time.
