There was the front ... still a man whose clothes were worn and whose body odor made it clear that he needed a shower urgently, he couldn't help but look around, everything was dark but the only sources of light that illuminated enough were the light that passed through the door in the floor in front of him and the hole in the ceiling above that showed him the full moon in all its splendor.
"What happened? The last thing I remember was ...". The memories of what happened in the last hours came quickly to his mind, the fire and the attempt of the authorities to capture him, but later he does not remember what happened when he was caught by a giant hand and he even gives him a small headache when he tries think about it. "Nothing is ever easy right? ... uhhhh this is the worst!".
Now his sight was focused on the man, he wasn't sure what to do with him but he thought it would be safest to leave him where he is, he didn't want any more problems and it seemed like he just passed out so there should be no complications; Without waiting another second he left the abandoned place with his hand on his head trying to bear the headache he had, not only that his body hurt, he really needed to learn to sleep in a more comfortable place.
"From now on I need to sleep in less harsh places."
He soon found himself walking down the street seeing that he seemed not to be in a place not very crowded by people, he could see how some homeless people were trying to get some heat from a makeshift campfire in a barrel and how some gang-like looking people were over there talking casually while smoking, this was not a completely unknown sight for Silver of the few humans he met in his life many were like this.
Recalling the old days of their future where people sometimes starved and sometimes fought each other for food to the point of killing themselves for it and where those who were strong enough abused and used the weak ... one would think that the People should be united when the problem threatens them all, but human nature is not known for following some kind of code of empathy, it is more the survival of the fittest.
As he kept walking, trapped in his thoughts, he did not realize that he was being followed by a group of people in the distance with a clear intention to rob him, Silver had completely forgotten that he is a 14-year-old boy who roams the most dangerous area from the city.
Aizawa knew he needed a break from all this, but he knew that was not going to happen no matter how much he complained as he usually does, but now he was patrolling the dead zone of the city, no matter how many times they come here to clean the area to the following week everything is as before ... but that is not why I was going to let vandalism or any other type of criminal activity happen like nothing.
It was already 7:00 pm so your students should be awake interacting with each other or doing some fun activity, I would not say it openly but I reassure you how they got used to living now on the school grounds after so many things during the last months, like his teacher knew there would be some complications but manages to get his students through.
("Tonight has started quietly, I hope I can continue like this"). He thought as he watched the surrounding streets from a roof, nothing strange was happening at the moment but as he had said, tranquility began, but nothing can assure him that things will get out of control later, he carefully observed how some homeless people wrapped themselves in a few fabrics Dirty to have some warmth in the cold night, he didn't like the sight but he knew the world was like that.
While he was thinking that he saw how a group of 3 men whose appearance made them see with the naked eye how some vandals ran as if they had just seen a ghost pushing the poor people on their way without caring about anything, Eraserhead gave him a bit of curiosity so I take advantage and a quick movement jump from the ceiling and with his cloth scarf he grabbed the three without much problem entangling each one of them so that they could not free themselves easily, his eyes were not left behind the moment he captured them. Quirk erased to nullify everyone's quirk.
"They should be more careful where they run like this, they took a lot of people you know?" I speak without taking my eyes off them for a second. "What happens to make them run around like this?" Despite the complaints when being tied in this way they fell silent when they realized who it was when they felt those eyes Reds looking at them with intensity, they knew they did not have to disturb the hero Eraserhead, that being the case in the widest and largest of the three I spoke, stammering a little.
"We-we saw him! The subject of the fire this morning!"
Aizawa expected to hear many things but not that news, he immediately knew that maybe they were teasing him so he tightened the fabrics that had them trapped a little more to force them to be a little more honest.
"We swore! We were still chasing the loser until he got into an abandoned house but when we had him cornered we saw him there!" The lowest yelled as he tried not to choke.
After a few seconds Eraserhead loosened her grip making them a bit more comfortable to breathe, it was then that she knew this could be serious. She could tell from their facial expressions that they weren't lying, so without wasting time she approached the one who looked like the leader of the trio and grabbed her by the neck.
"Where did you see it?" Eraserhead ordered as he looked into his eyes with intensity, their gazes meet but the guy cannot hold his gaze because of the fear that the hero instills in him.
"A few streets not far from here is a dilapidated wooden house between two larger buildings! There it is." The subject said quickly as she looked away.
Without wasting time Eraserhead started the way to the place that they had told him about, he had already been there before so he knew he would not get lost; He did not bother to untie the three he had retained instead he took his communicator and communicated with Nezu while alerting him of what was happening, he knew that he could erase peculiarities but one misstep and he would have problems, so it would be good to have a backup plan in case things got wild.
"Yes? Aizawa what's wrong? It's weird, very weird, that you call me when you're on patrol." The one who answered him was Nezu with a voice that showed that he was surprised by the action of his coworker.
"Nezu I don't have time, I think I have a clue about the boy from the accident this morning, I think I'll end up finding him." He says while running in a hurry jumping from roof to roof until he sees in front of him a wooden house in great deterioration and stops in front of it. "I'm warning you in case the situation gets a little out of control, I don't need to tell you what I'll do right? "
"Hmmm no, you don't have to, be careful the support will go as soon as it can ... and Aizawa." The call stopped in front of the hut while he waited to hear what his friend had to say to him: "Be careful, remember that he is a boy ... try to be a little soft with him."
"...I do not promise anything". He said as he passes through the threshold where there used to be a door and meets the fainted body of a person, he quickly approaches him while taking the pressure with one hand, expecting the worst, but he sighs relieved to feel that there is still a pulse in he.
"Hey! Wake up I need to ask you some questions." He moved the man's body a few times but seeing that it was of no use decided to give him a good slap.
"AGH!" The answer he got was the cry of pain from the tramp.
"Excuse me for doing that but I didn't react, I need you to answer some questions that happened here and if there was someone else here when you were a few minutes ago?"
"What, well..I was being chased by those vandals and I decided to hide here. But when someone was already in here, I was passed out or something like that and it seemed like he fell from the ceiling." While saying that last, he pointed to the hole in the roof of the house. "After that I decided to go to him to see if he was okay, but then those idiots knocked down the door and were about to beat me up ... but so..."
"...So what?". Aizawa asked.
"They ran away in terror as if they had seen something terrified ... and they were not wrong, after they left I asked why and I heard someone behind me answer." The man responds with some fear, but that does not prevent him from continuing. "I saw him ... there he was ... levitating in the air and his face wrapped up that only let see bright eyes. And I ended up fainting" .
"I understand, (that means it may still be near here, I just need to search quickly)." Eraserhead thought as he helped the man lying on the ground up "Thank you very much for the information." Without wasting time he ran out of the house. If he was here and passed out, it means that he is weak and could not go very far from here.
Silver was sure that he was being followed as he walked down the street, it seemed that it had already been at least 5 minutes since they were following him so he still did not understand why at that time no one approached to try to steal or something, were they thieves or wanted Anything else about him? He honestly did not care, he was just waiting for the opportunity to take them by surprise if they tried something but deep down he had a bad feeling that did not leave his mind, since what happened this morning he did not stop having it and it was something annoying , having to be alert every damn second of his life was not something he wanted to happen again. I was used to it, yes, but it doesn't mean I'm comfortable with it. No one should be used to this kind of thing, you just need peace.
"Hey brat!" A new voice had taken him out of his thoughts, it was thick and seemed to come from one of the people who followed him, he had turned to see them, they were at least a group of seven people.
"(Seven people to follow a child? This world has really serious problems ...)". I was thinking that as long as I showed no signs of looking nervous or intimidated, I knew these types of people, they intimidate people and manipulate them for their benefit. "Uh? ... something's wrong sir?"
"Well, you see, we saw that you were somewhat lost and we thought that maybe you were lost, you would need help to get home." Said a small man compared to the others, his hair had a strange color and shape compared to him.
"It took them 5 minutes to follow me to think that I was lost for some reason ... no, I'm not lost." I replied dismissively as I turned to head back to my path until I heard the guy growl.
"Well it seems that we should not play with you, then I will be clear to you you just entered our territory and you need to pay the toll brat."
"I'm sorry I don't have money ... and even if I did, to be honest I wouldn't give you anything." I turn my head a little to see his enraged face while it was clear that the others were tired of waiting.
"Come on friend! Are you going to let a shitty boy talk like that?" Said one of them
"Yes friend! You have to give him a lesson on how to treat his elders." Another spoke while snapping his fingers.
"Look, I don't know what gang game they're playing ... but I'm not going to be part of it." He said as I started back on the asphalt. "So leave me alone and get on with your lives."
"Hey, don't turn your back on me like I'm nothing impertinent brat!" The already annoyed man approached Silver with his fist raised to hit him but before the fist reached it he had stopped ... rather, his entire body was stopped in a blue-green aura. "What the hell ?! ".
"I warned them that I did not want problems but it seems that you can't talk to animals." The young hedgehog muttered before turning his body and looking at the group of men in front of him with dangerously glowing eyes.
"He's using his Quirk! Take him down guys!" Shouted one of the men making wings sprout from his hands with which he soon positioned himself in the air.
Silver without wasting time threw forcefully the body of the man who was already trapped towards the one who was flying causing them to crash against a wall with enough force. The others were in awe and annoyed by the power the boy exhibited and wasted no time activating their Quirks to fight him. The combat made passersby who were on the street run away so as not to see themselves in the crossfire.
"Boy you messed with the wrong people!" One of the men who had some bumps on his face raised his arms against Silver so that tendrils of bone were thrown out of them.
"Curious ... I was thinking exactly the same."
The projectiles that had flown towards him soon stopped a few inches from his face wrapped in a bright aura only for them to be turned towards him, who, surprised, ended up trying to avoid them but ended up hanging on a wall when they pierced the edges of his clothes. leaving him glued to the wall with a scared expression almost feeling like he was going to die. I end up passing out from what happened.
Silver thought that with 3 of his teammates off duty the others were going to give up and take their teammates and leave the place ... he has to stop thinking so optimistically. He soon felt like an invisible force had sent them flying a few meters from where he was. He hadn't seen what happened but he didn't have time to think when another of the men in the group blew something like green smoke from his mouth. He had a bad feeling about what would happen if that touched him so without wasting time he did some somersaults out of the place where he was but the man kept throwing his smoke so Silver kept going out of the direction where the smoke is going, at some point He jumped over a parked car and watched the green smoke deteriorate the car like acid.
"(That doesn't look very good ... I don't know whether to be shocked or throw up?)". The hedgehog thought until he felt an invisible force hit him again until he was pushed a few meters, that's when Silver noticed that one of the men was the one who was doing that. It looked like I was taking a hit and then it was like I was being pushed by some kind of air blow. (So that's what has been hitting me, well that's a trick for two!).
Silver compressed some power in the palm of his hand as he evaded the attacks of the other two men, one stretched his arms to hit him and the other tried to hit him moving like an ape with everything and a tail. Soon Silver was ready and he launched a wave of wind a little more controlled with his power towards the two that released acid smoke and air bullets sent both to fly several meters falling together with the other defeated.
The elastic man and the ape man were impressed and especially stupefied by that wave of seeing that left them disoriented, but they saw firsthand how their other companions fell defeated. they turned in fear to see how Silver had his arms raised in their direction and it was there that they knew they had lost. both could not move only to later be lifted into the air and then without warning they were collided with each other with great force and they ended up passed out.
Silver knew he was done with all of them but he felt something was missing. so he saw each one of the ones he had defeated and then he noticed, the first guy he had shot down was no longer in the car next to the other. It was then that he felt something move behind him.
"Behind you idiot!". Shouted the emptiness of the place as he saw a metal rod rise behind him. It was him, the first man had the power to make himself invisible.
Silver quickly took the form of a ball shape avoiding the blow and then with speed bounced hard hitting the man square in the stomach sending him flying against a metal pole, this was a spin dash. He was still not used to using these types of attacks but after fighting Sonic and not only seeing but feeling the blows in this way gave him the idea of using this technique more often.
"This would have been avoided if they had not looked for problems, the next time they think things better and they will not be involved in problems like these." Silver says repressing the guys, although there is no one to listen to him since they are all out for the fight.
"Funny you say that." A deep voice sounded behind Silver causing the latter to turn around and then his arms were wrapped in a cloth. "When you have been causing a lot of trouble in such a short time."
That's when Silver saw him, a man with tousled black hair googles and wearing pants and shirts of the same color while his neck is wrapped in a kind of scarf. This was the hero Eraserhead who had come into action, he had seen half the fight paying attention to the abilities of the individual in front of him while waiting for an opportunity to catch him stealthily.
"He's in custody for using his Quirk without a license, attacking two pro-heroes, and causing damage to public property ... not to mention what happened here." Eraserhead could see the person in front well, it really was a boy almost the age of his students. "Look don't make this harder than it is, I don't want to hurt a child but I will if I have to."
"Hey! They started following me and started all this!"
"And you answered, you can't go around using a Quirk as destructive as yours. There are consequences for what you do."
"Was I supposed to let them rob me or beat me up?" The hedgehog was already beginning to get on his nerves, what kind of society asks its citizens not to defend themselves with their power when they need it?
"That's better than ending up killing someone, right? We heroes are always there to help the citizen and you could ask for help." Eraserhead replied seeing his opponent with his Quirk activated, he was not going to let him use his power under any chance. "If people start using their Quirk without regulation, society would be a disaster, the rules exist for a reason".
The hedgehog could easily break free from these bonds but he didn't want to get into more trouble than he already is. so I was seriously in a pretty bad situation right now. the support forces would soon arrive at the scene and he did not know what to do.
"(I'm already in trouble for helping in the accident this morning. If I attack still pro-hero I'll definitely get a lot of unwanted attention.)" Silver said to himself, I said to myself while trying to think of a plan that will get me out of this predicament, I knew there weren't many options at the moment, or he would take down the pro-hero and tomorrow he would be known as a villain and opened special forces looking for him at all hours Or he gave himself up now and ended this problem so as not to get into a bigger one. yes, his situation was not the best of all so without any other option he had to do the following. "... ok, ok, I give up, but I need your help."
"Than?". The hero was in shock waiting for whatever but not that.
"I ... do not belong here and I am looking for some people who were with me, neither I nor they are from here and we have to go home."
"Why should I believe you with all the fuss and trouble you've caused?" The hero asks without any confidence in the young man in front of him.
"Because if you've already seen what I can do, you know that I can break these bonds at any time and send you flying against a building in less than a rooster crows." They were true words although they made him seem somewhat self-centered.
Nice try, but as long as I see you there is no way you can use your Quirk. The already tired hero was ready to seize Silver until he saw how an aura completely surrounded his body and then he destroyed the alloy fabrics as if they were nothing more than paper leaving surprising by.
"Who said I had a Quirk?" The young hedgehog smiled at the hero.
"H-how is it possible?!" Eraserhead was surprised he did not know what was happening there has never been someone that his Quirk cannot affect.
"Do you believe me now? I come from a place where there is no society and there is no such thing as Quirk, if you help me I will go with you but only if you assure me that they will not lock me up or try to do something to me."
Eraserhead was now at a crossroads for what he should do now. The individual in front of him not only had great power but claims to come from a place where Quirk or society does not exist, he thought that perhaps it would be the underworld but I discard that with what was said about the Quirk. But in the end he had to make a decision, the boy in front of him is surrendering peacefully but on the condition that he would not be locked up or arrested. and with the power that she exhibited where they could lock her up if not in Tartars. there was no more time to think as soon as the approaching police sirens began to sound and how some pro-heroes began to arrive.
"Decide now!" The young man in front of him was enveloped in that mysterious aura again as the power began to cover him causing a strong look around him.
"Stop there kid!" shouted a pro-hero, it was Present Mic who had been notified by director Nezu about the Eraserhead situation.
"Stop there I have it controlled!". Scream Eraserhead as he tried to calm the atmosphere as the patrols arrived at the scene to point their weapons at Silver.
"Deactivate your Quirk right now!" Yelled one of the officers.
Soon the atmosphere of the place became tense, if things do not improve no one knows what kind of accident could occur. Eraserhead knew he had to do something or there could be casualties and extensive damage at the site and he did not want that for any reason. not now that they lost the symbol of peace and people are afraid of what will happen now.
"Okay, I have everything under control." He warned everyone present while looking seriously at Silver who could feel his intense gaze. which he replied with an equally serious and determined face. "I swear I will do everything in my power to help you, but if you fight now things will not get good for you from now on ... you know it"
Silver knew this, he had to give up now or things could get my bad, and he is not one to run away from problems, he faces them head on without cowardice. so it was in his survival days where he would always have to fight the monsters that lurked in the apocalypse. soon the hedgehog knew what he had to do ... with his eyes seeing the ground, the power that protected him in his aura left in a few seconds and then looked at Eraserhead with determination.
"Not".
Those were his words before his aura returned instantly and he released a pulse that sent affection to everyone's minds, toasting everyone with an ugly vertigo. the policemen's weapons had already been taken by the Silver's Psychokinesis to then be crushed and looking for the last time at the hero in front of him he shot into the skies in a blue-green flash leaving everyone. very soon the mental attack was no longer affecting everyone in the area and they were able to regain their senses without problems and leaving everyone speechless about what happened just moments ago.
"Eraserhead!". The called hero turned to see who that scream was coming from and met Present Mic arriving on the scene. "What happened ?! I saw a flash leave the place as I was coming here ".
"It was the ... the boy from the accident this morning, I already had it but ... I couldn't erase his Quirk." When Aizawa said that last, he couldn't ironically erase that fact from his head either. Not only that, but his friend in front of him couldn't help but be surprised as well. "Everything indicates that this problem is bigger than we thought ... we have to go talk to Nezu."
"So in your words I quote, he said that he comes from a place where there is no society and where the Quirk do not exist ..". It was what Director Nezu said before sighing and seeing again Aizawa who was in front of him in his office "God Aizawa I find it difficult to think that such a place exists."
"I also agree with you, but the problem is that you are not alone." That last one alerted everyone in the room. It was already problematic to deal with a single person of this caliber, but now there were two more. "He's looking for two others who come from the same place as him ... and something tells me they don't fall short in power either."
No one in the room was going to deny that, they were all thinking about the possibilities that this would be for the worse but above all about how they were going to deal with this kind of situation. one would say it's pretty easy ... to catch them so they don't hurt anyone either intentionally or by accident. But things get complicated when they say they come from a place without society and they are extremely dangerous, without forgetting that their powers do not come from the Quirk, so Quirk's capture and sealing methods would be useless and things would not turn out well.
"We could well try taking another route of action, don't you think?" Nezu said drawing everyone's attention. "The boy told you that all he wanted was to find his other two companions and leave, didn't he?" Aizawa knew where this was going, most of them knew but in reality they did not expect him to say something similar but still some showed their disgust when he said it. which would be a good way to fix them by helping them find it so they can get a little closer.
"Tell me what did you say as a joke, by God I have seen what he is capable of". Sekijiro did not take long to show his disgust before what he said. "What tells us that the others will not be equal or worse than him?". "Sekijiro has it. Reason Nezu, we don't know if they are to be trusted. They could even be villains! " Nemuri shouted trying to be rational. "And even if they weren't and I was telling the truth, they come from a place without society. That's more than enough to realize that they could go around doing whatever they want because that's how things were where they came from" It was difficult not to go against that logic, without a world without laws people would do what they wanted and nothing could tell them that it was wrong or not, they would simply be acting according to their interests and how they have lived their lives. without anyone who has told them what is wrong and what is right.
"I understand your doubts and complaints, but look at it this way. Isn't it better to have them in one place where we can be sure that we can deal with and learn from them and where they come from without the danger of putting the lives of civilians?" The animal in a suit took another cup of tea while observing the people in front of him. "It would be much better to have them close but obviously away from the students, we would tell the boy that we will help him and when the time comes we will get all the answers." They doubted this plan a lot given that it had certain flaws, such as what would be done after verifying the place of origin of these individuals or what actions should be taken so that they follow them without any resistance as it happened in the morning and a few hours ago.
"I understand your doubts, but think this way. At the moment there have been no victims, if we approach in a good way I am sure we can deal with this without damaging victims and damage to public property there."
"Easier said than done, but I don't think we'll waste much trying. Sooner or later we'll catch him." Says Aizawa.
Later the meeting was over and now Aizawa was walking through the corridors of the facilities where the students were, despite the fact that a day had passed since the attack on the high-end Nomu Aizawa wanted to see if the young Todoroki found stable. He had already spoken with his family and everything by call but as his Sensei he also had to be with him to find out if he had a problem and wanted to talk about it.
Upon arrival, he met some students, not all of them since most of them had gone to sleep early. part of them for wanting to stay awake in their classes and improve their grades and others perhaps to increase their low performance. everyone has their reasons. At the moment the only ones in the room were surprisingly Izuku Midoriya who was writing something in his notebook, Ashido Mina who was watching TV and Todoroki Shoto who was sitting in one of the armchairs. Aizawa thought to himself if the boy had trouble sleeping after what happened a day ago.
But that right now I would find out when I had a chat with him (if he decides to express himself a lot). Aizawa honestly knew what teenagers were like and hated dealing with these kinds of challenges but again, he's a high school teacher nothing new to him.
The lights filled the entire city, there was no place that was not affected by light pollution but that did not matter to the young man who was on the edge of the roof of the tallest building in the city. the gentle breeze hit his cheeks and the sensation of breathing fresh air filled him with euphoria. He really loved this world (despite being now a fugitive from the law) seeing people fill the streets and seeing them smile as they headed home with their families. the latter made the child a little melancholic.
"He asked me ... if I go back to my dimension and Iblis is gone ... will I have a family waiting for me?" That thought would find out strongly in my head as I keep thinking about the infinite possibilities, the changes to the timelines always affect everything severely and now with a part of Iblis it is inside me ... what will become of me now?
The hedgehog was locked in his thoughts until a strong burning appeared in the palms of his hands forcing him to remove his gloves so that he could see how the circular marks on his hands turned from an aquamarine color to a crimson red one.
"Aaagh!" I let out a groan of pain as I clenched my hands tightly in an attempt to bear the pain that was coming on now, at some point I put my hands on the cold surface where I was sitting in hopes of easing the pain a bit. but I soon realized that it would be in vain when some smoke started to appear under his palms. this caused me to raise my hands to see how there was a circular mark equal to my palms burned on the surface. "Damn it!"
Silver knew there wasn't much time left, she can feel Iblis squirming inside her, wanting to break free and reduce this world to ashes. But as long as he maintains self-control he could handle it. Although she doesn't know for how long before she takes control, her soul is not on fire like her late friend. But she knew she wouldn't give up so easily, maybe she couldn't have a good life in her future. but she will not let the people of this world fall into the flames of Iblis like her own.
"If you think I'll make it easy for you ... think again!"
The hedgehog yelled as his body began to expel strong waves of heat from him, but despite everything he does not show hesitation. he will stand up for this world
Meanwhile, in a very, very distant place, more specifically thousands of kilometers from Japan reaching the United States, a blue blur is seen traveling the heads of Mount Roshmore until it ends up sitting on the nose of President Lincon.
"Gee ... where have Silver and Shadow gone, especially the others? And where the hell am I now ?!"
Shouted Sonic the Hedgehog who after traveling the entire continent turning it upside down in the process ending up in the place.
Well, I am very sorry for the delay but here is another chapter, I have been extremely focused on the midterms that I have to do now and more so now that my country is not exactly at its best, but I still manage.
A few curious facts is that he planned to make Silver end up turning himself in to the authorities in this chapter, ending up being questioned about his origin and identity, but he was not convinced so I left him.
As you will see, Sonic has arrived! In the next chapter we will see a little of him and his short time in the new world, without more to say ... Goodbye!
