Author's Note: Helloooooo! How are you, everyone? I'm doing great, even better in fact, as it is almost time for me to obtain the book I've been waiting months for, "The Wilds Beyond Witchlight" For Dungeons and Dragons 5e, so I can modify Mei Hatsume's D&D variant so that I can officially get started on "Heroes of the Realm", my Dungeons and Dragons x My Hero Academia Crossover. For a bit of context, I got the idea from watching the ending of MHA called "Datte Atashi no Hero" and I was inspired to create a Homebrew World based on that ending's environment. However, due to some difficulties that arose, I am being forced to wait until I get that damned book before I can get started on that story. However, if you want to read the backstories for each of the characters I created, go check it out on my Profile, I hope you guys like what I did with the characters for the main party!
Anyway I am happy to present to you guys the 5th Chapter of Justice, and I am beyond happy to say that, as of writing this chapter, "Justice" has hit the 50 Favs/70 Follows mark in just 4 chapters, where as my original MHA Crossover, "Viral Toxin" hit the 80s in both Faves and Follows in 6 Chapters! Honestly I am so honored and excited that you guys love this story so much, it just honors me to think there are people who like my writing style and my stories! I'm honestly fighting tears right now! But anyway thank you all for your love and support, I will try to keep up my hard work so you guys can continue to enjoy this story!
Anyway, i hope you guys like the new Mineta's Minsodes I posted in the rewrites of the previous three chapters, as well as Izuku's Fighting Style that I created. You guys can thank AnimeFan13579 for giving me an idea on how to create it thanks to him introducing me to Kurumi Tokisaki from Date-A-Live. She reminded me of another Time Streamer, one from a Video Game series I like, Bayonetta. The Umbra Witches and Lumen Sages are all Time Streamers in that series, and I had completely forgotten about it, plus they Umbra Witches use a form of Gun Kata that is unique to them. So combine that with Dante's Quicksilver and Gunslinger Styles, alongside Equilibrium's techniques and Kurumi's bullets, and I found the perfect style for somebody looking to preserve their arms and legs for the long run.
But anyway, before we begin today's chapter, I want to thank you all again for loving and reading my story, I have not been this happy since "Viral Toxin", and I couldn't be more honored that you guys are reading and loving my story. Thank you all! Anyway, that's enough out of me! Please be sure to Follow, Favorite, and Review, and be sure to share it with your friends and loved ones who love My Hero Academia! Catch ya on the Flipside! SMAAAAAASH!
Chapter 5:
Waking up in the Time Stream, in the Manor of One For All, Izuku looks to see Eri sleeping next to him, the young man smiling as he pets the head of the little girl. Over the past few months since he had joined UA, he had been able to visit Eri as often as he could, and, surprisingly, he has come to see the girl like a daughter of his own. Not only that, he has begun to help her understand her Quirk, as in the Time Stream, Time Quirks are at their most powerful, but also, since nothing in the Time Stream can be killed, not even other Time Streamers who are still alive, Eri can practice her quirk freely and without fear off accidentally killing someone.
Thanks to Yoichi helping to instruct her, they have come to find that Eri's Quirk, Rewind, is pretty much a more powerful version of his own Rewind Super move. Not only that, Eri's Quirk allows her to passively absorb Chronons, allowing her to not only activate it once it's fully charged, but to maintain her power for extended periods. However, there are a couple of caveats to Eri's Quirk, in which the first is that it takes about a day to fully charge on it's own, and once deactivated, Eri needs 24 hours to wait 24 hours to use her Quirk again. To this, Izuku compares her Quirk to that of a Unicorn in the Tabletop RPG known as Dungeons and Dragons, who have a "Warper Quirk" thanks to their horns, but can only use it once every 24 hours. This causes Eri to become a bit fascinated with the World of Dungeons and Dragons, and so, once a month, Yoichi gathers everyone to play Dungeons and Dragons with Eri, in which it has been helping her come out of her shell.
The Second Caveat is that Eri's Quirk only works on Organic Things, to which she demonstrated by turning an Apple back into it's Seeds. However, she doesn't just rewind time once, she can also "Fast-Forward" Time for something organic by using her Quirk to reverse the "damage" her quirk has caused. That is when Eri reveals to Izuku and Toshinori that her captor is currently working on a way of turning her Quirk into a type of weapon in order to destroy Quirks, which increases the seriousness of what is happening. However, that is when Izuku gets the idea that if her quirk can undo the damage it has already done, then Eri could reverse the damage done by the weapon her captor is creating. This bit of insight actually causes Eri to be filled with hope as she can fix the problems she indirectly causes.
The Final Caveat is that Eri's version of Rewind is very difficult to control, as it is also linked to her emotional state, in which the more negative emotions she has, the harder it is to control, and while her positive emotions grant more control, it is weakened slightly. However, Izuku reveals to Eri this is actually something that Eri could use to her advantage. He suggests that Eri actually becomes a Rescue Hero who has the ability to heal others, and her "Grandpa Might" suggests that Recovery Girl could help Eri learn how to use her Quirk in order to heal others rather than harm them. He also suggests that Eri could temporarily erase a villain's quirk until Quirk Suppression Cuffs are placed on them, as such, Eri could also become a hero specializing in capturing difficult villains, as well as healing allies.
Aside from this, Izuku has been helping Eri deal with the trauma she is suffering, and thankfully, Toshinori had given them the update a few days ago, in which they have learned from an inside source in the Yakuza that Eri will have a small window of opportunity in the near future to be able to run away from her captor. If she manages to get away from him and meet a man with yellow goggles and red wings at a certain location, he will bring Eri to UA at high speeds so she can be protected and hidden. All Might tells her the Hero's Name is Hawks and he knows what she looks like, and that if she can get to him fast enough, they can get out of there before her captors find her. He even gives her a picture to memorize, and an address to look for. Though she can't read or write, if she can memorize the markings on the little map she will be able to find the #3 Hero.
Coming back to the present, Eri wakes up and yawns in the most adorable of ways, in which she smiles at Izuku, happily. "Evening, Daddy…" Eri says, having come to call Izuku that as he is like a father to her, after All Might had given her a bit of an explanation of what parents are. "Did you sleep well?"
"I had a good rest…" Izuku says, petting his adopted daughter's head. "How about you?"
"Better than most nights…" Eri says, hugging her adopted father, Izuku smiling as he holds the little girl close. "Tomorrow… I have to act fast…"
"Yeah, but if things go well tomorrow, you'll be safe… Hawks is one of the fastest heroes out there… If he can get into the air, before your captor finds him, then you'll be fine." Izuku says, "I'll be sure to see you after class today too."
"Oh I remember, you told us today you're going to learn how to do Rescue Hero Work, right?" Eri asks, smiling.
"Yeah, so if everything goes well, we'll meet up after classes today!"
"Okay!" Eri says, and for the rest of the time they have in the Time Stream, the two play and walk along the beach, acting like an actual father and daughter, the little girl happily playing in the sand. While she plays, Eri remembers the plan that had been created a few days ago, thanks to a visit from Nogami Ryotaro, Kamen Rider Den-O, who told them of a special ability all Time Streamers share, the ability to enter the Time Stream by opening a door at the moment a clock hits the point of the Top of the Hour, in which the Portal to the Time Stream is open to any Time Quirk user for a brief instant. By simply opening a door at that exact moment, Eri will be able to transport herself to the Sands of time, and then out of a door at any location she desires. This works as while Eri is within the Time Stream Physically, Time Stops for in the real world at that moment until Eri returns to the real world. All Eri needs to do, when in the Time Stream is imagine a door at the location she wishes to go through, then open the door. With this, Eri can effectively teleport herself and others for that instant. However, a backup plan was made that if Eri somehow brings her captor into the Sands of Time, she needs to think of the front of the Manor, where Yoichi will be waiting to protect her.
As Yoichi and the other uses of One For All are already dead, her captor's quirk, nor the weapons made from Eri's own Quirk, do them any harm, and they can force her captor back into Reality, where Great Grandma Nana will retreat with Eri and get her to Hawks. With this plan in toe, everything goes about normally for the two of them, and when it is time to return to the Waking World, Izuku hugs his daughter one last time, and wishes her good luck, and to remember the plan. "I love you, daddy!"
"I love you too, my little girl… Be quick, stay safe, and I'll see you this evening if everything goes well." Izuku says, kissing his daughter on the forehead, in which light erupts from the point of contact and the two return to the waking world.
With Eri
Eri wakes up with a start, as she sees Overhaul making his way to her, "Have a nice dream, Eri? Overhaul asks, looking at her, his cold intimidating glare looking upon her. Eri is terrified of this man, but she tries to stay calm as she nods. "Good… Now let's go… We're changing locations today… I've heard that the Heroes have been poking their noses in my business and I need to make sure you remain undiscovered…"
"Yes…" Eri says, 'Today I get to meet daddy face to face… I can't screw this up…!' Eri thinks, taking Kai's hand, as he beckons her, and following him out, fortunately though, Eri has one thing on her that will help. Once they leave the Hideout, they begin moving quickly and quietly through the streets, in which Eri keeps her concentration on her horn. One of the side effects of Eri's quirk, as she had discovered, is she is able to tell time by simply feeling the chronons in the air with her horn. The closer it gets to the Zero Moment of Each hour, the more her horn begins to itch, it's a handy little thing that Ryotaro and the Taros Bros taught her to use. However, as they stop at a juncture, Kai growls as the streets are a bit crowded now.
"Eri… Wait here… If you move… Well… Let's just say I won't be gentle this time…" Kai says, walking around the corner, and the moment he is out of sight, the itching becomes unbearable, and Eri runs for her life, looking for a door, any door… Kai, hearing Eri's footsteps, chases after her, and angry that she disobeyed orders. However as he catches up with her, Eri finds what she is looking for, a door, one that leads to a public restroom, but beggars can't be choosers.
'Gotta get to the door!' Eri thinks, to which she reaches out for the handle, Kai reaching out for her. The little girl grabs the handle and turns it as Kai is about to grab her, only for the Mafia Boss to feel and overwhelming sense of vertigo and displacement, hit him, causing him to stumble and miss his grab. Eri, not looking back, opens the door, causing Chisaki to be hit by a blinding light as the Door of Time opens, and the little girl rushes through. The next moment, the door slams shut, and Kai growls as he grabs the handle and opens the door, finding nothing but a bathroom inside. Searching every stall and calling out for Eri's name, Overhaul finds that Eri isn't there, and he realizes his Quirk allowed her to escape, but how.
"EEEEEERIIIIIII!" Kai shouts angrily, destroying the business he is in in his rage, before making a break before any heroes show up. Eri, on the other hand, opens a new door and looks left and right. She would breathe a sigh of relief, but she knows she can't stop now… She's close to the meeting place with Hawks, and any lowering in guard here could cause her to be caught again, but that is when something flows in front of her, a red feather. From above her, the #3 Hero hovers above her.
"Are you Eri?" The #3 Hero asks.
"Hawks?" Eri asks.
"That's me!" To which Eri nods and the man offers her a hand. "Let's get you home, little one…" She takes the hero's hand and in an instant, they are off.
With Izuku, Lunchtime...
Izuku sighs as he sits in the cafeteria, worried about what is happening with Eri right now… He wishes he knew what was happening to his daughter, but he knows he has to be patient, as today he has a big class to focus on, so for now, he has to get his head in the game. He then smiles as somebody walks over "Occhan!"
"Hey, Deku, how're you doing?" Ochako asks.
"Oh just worried for somebody…"
"Really? Who is it?" Ochako asks.
"My daughter…" Izuku says, but then claps a hand over his mouth as Ochako drops her fork.
"D-d-d-d-..." Ochako says, to which Izuku panics with how she is going to react. "DAUGHTER!?" Everyone turns and hears this. "Deku-kun, you're already a father!? How!?"
"She's not really my daughter, more like a surrogate-adopted daughter!" Izuku says, trying to resolve the situation before it gets out of hand. "It's complicated to explain…!"
"What, Midoriya has a kid?" Denki Kaminari asks, "How'd you manage that!?"
"Kaminari, stop!" Izuku says, starting to panic now.
"Izuku, tell us! How'd you end up having a kid?" Mina Ashido asks.
"And moreover, what does she look like?" Toru asks, to which Izuku starts getting bombarded with a ton of questions.
"WOULD YOU PLEASE SHUT THE HELL UP!?" Bakugou shouts, "One at a time already, give him a minute to answer himself!" Everyone goes silent after that.
"Does…" Izuku says, "Does anyone have a napkin I can borrow, I can show you what she looks like…" That is when Mina offers one, and Izuku uses Erase to carefully decay the napkin in Eri's likeness, and everyone looks at the little girl.
"She's so cute!" Mina says, swooning.
"You said she's your surrogate daughter?" Ochako asks, coming out of shock.
"Yeah, thanks to our quirks being similar, I was able to meet her, and I've been helping her through a difficult time… I learned she's a kidnapping victim and with our connection, we were able to set up a rescue operation today with the police… I haven't heard anything about what happened yet, and I'm getting worried that things failed…"
"Would Izuku Midoriya please come to the Principal's Office, Izuku Midoriya to the Principal's office!" A voice calls on the intercom, and Izuku looks up, his scleras turning black as he gets a serious look on his face. "Advance…" He then creates a portal underneath him and falls through, landing in front of the principal's office. Those who react fast manage, I.E Ochako, Mashirao, Eijiro, and Hitoshi, all follow Deku as they appear in front of the Principal's office. However, the portal closes as Mina tries to move in to get through, only to get some of her hair snipped at the split ends when the portal closes.
Izuku knocks on the door and is allowed inside, and much to Izuku's delight, there is Hawks sitting next to a familiar girl with white hair and red eyes as she is eating through her third apple, swallowing her current bite as she looks to Izuku, dropping the apple, with shock and joy. "DADDY!" Eri shouts, rushing to Izuku.
"Eri!" Izuku says, rushing to his daughter, who jumps in his arms and begins crying with relief as she hold shim close. "Eri, you're safe now!"
"Overhaul nearly caught me as I made my escape! I was so scare!"
"Shhh shhh…" Izuku says, petting the girl's head whilst rocking her back and forth. "It's okay, it's okay… You're safe now…"
"Well Mr. Midoriya, you and All Might certainly have a lot of explaining to do…" Principal Nezu says, to which he then notices the others, "Especially when it comes to what I've been hearing about these students and the rapid empowerment of their quirks…" Izuku pales and sits down whilst everyone circles behind the couch. All Might then goes on to tell the Story of All For One, and how Izuku was passing on the Quirks that were once Part of One For All, and giving them to worthy successors of the predecessors' powers. Izuku also fills in Nezu about Eri, how they met, and how he has been helping her until she made her escape today. Eri fills in the rest with what she knows, especially about the weapon Overhaul was attempting to create with her blood and Quirk, but the part that sickens everyone, especially Izuku, is that Overhaul had literally killed her over a dozen times during his experiments to extract her quirk's power for his weapon, only for her quirk to restore her to life by activating on it's own, though this was what Overhaul had told her as a punishment one time.
"Eri…" Izuku says, his scleras turning black as he enters Justice For All Mode, holding his surrogate daughter close. "Don't worry, I won't let him hurt you again… If he lays so much as a hand on you… He'll regret it!"
"Izuku, calm down…" Toshinori says, "I know how you feel, I'm just as sickened as you are, but acting out of anger will not help." Izuku glares at his father but then sighs, taking a deep breath and reciting the Kuji-In to calm himself.
"You're right… I'm sorry, dad…"
"Now that is all well and good, Izuku Midoriya, since you have been caring for Eri in the Time Stream, I think it would be best if she lived with you…"
"But I can't take off the grounds!" Izuku says, "If she leaves, then the Yakuza will find her!"
"Oh you misunderstand, Midoriya, you don't have to take her off the school grounds, in fact, I have just the thing for this problem, though it's a bit earlier than I had planned!" He then brings out the plans for the School Dorms, "I am going to be opening up School Dorms for the students!"
"Dorm?" Izuku asks.
"That is right! You will start living on the school grounds helping to take care of Eri-chan here." Nezu says, "I will be sending each student home with papers to allow the students to live here under strict supervision, and, to ensure Eri is in a safe place, I will be having you and one more student look after her! That way she doesn't just rely on you!"
"Okay." Izuku says, looking at his father who nods, "I understand, let's do it!"
"So now we just need for another student to sign on as her second caretaker…"
"I'll do it!" Ochako says, blurting it out. "I'll help Deku look after Eri-chan!"
"Occhan, are you sure?" Izuku asks.
"Yeah, I'm fine with it, besides I kinda got you into a bit of a mess earlier with the rest of the class. So it's my way of paying it back, besides…" She kneels down in front of Eri, "A girl needs a mother figure to look after her, right?" Eri looks at her, clinging to Izuku a bit, but when her adopted father gives her an approving nod, Eri gently reaches over and takes Ochako's hands.
"Thank you…" Eri says, her smile brightening up the room, "Mommy!"
"She… Just called me "mommy"!" Ochako says, smiling as a ghost leaves her happily.
"Occhan!" Izuku asks.
"Don't worry, Izuku, she's just too happy to live." All Might says, laughing.
"Grandpa!" Eri says, recognizing that laugh and rushing to her surrogate grandfather, hugging him.
"Hello again, Young Eri!" All Might says. Unfortunately, this happy moment has to end as Izuku and the others have to go to class, in which Toshinori offers to watch over Eri for a bit and he'll meet up with the others at class in a bit, as he needs to sign some paperwork before they can take in Eri, plus Inko needs to meet her new "granddaughter".
Heroics 101
Everyone has been told to change into their Hero Costumes and to head outside, as everyone is to be taking a bit of a "field trip" for their class, which the location is on the school grounds but is a ways away from the main school. Thankfully, Iida manages to get everyone into the bus in an orderly fashion, and Izuku sits next to Tsuyu Asui and Occhan. Everyone goes to talke about their quirks, in which Izuku gives each of them good ideas on how to use them. For Quick example, Izuku tell Kaminari he should get a cable attached to each side of his costume, that way he can channel his Electrification quirk through it and create a Lightning Whips with them, especially if he can dial them up to the power of a Taser, then each lash will stun opponents on contact. For Rikido Sato, Izuku suggest that Sato can actually try eating fresh and dried fruits and berries, as they are much healthier and their natural sugars more concentrated. In this way, Sato won't likely suffer as big of a crash as he does with normal sugar, and that it may end up lasting longer as the Sugar isn't refined so much.
"Heh, that is good advice, Midoriya!" A familiar voice reaches them as they all turn to see somebody on the bus with them, dressed in a purple Zoot Suit, and using a Sawed-Off, Double Barrel Shotgun as something of a cane, "Now what kind of advice can you give a smooth criminal like me?"
"Mineta!?" Everyone says, shocked.
"How!? Why are you here!?" Mina asks.
"I am an Apprentice to one of the Teachers here, so I can still take lessons with you guys, I just need to learn them at a different time than you!" Mineta says.
"Wait a second… Aren't you a bit taller than you were before?" Tsuyu Asui asks.
"Taller, Stronger, and More mature, but I will admit, I'm still a perv… Though I'm not as bad as I used to be, thanks to Midnight-Sensei guiding my path!" Mineta says, smirking at them. "So the Old Minoru Mineta, aka Grape Juice, is dead… Now you see a new Minoru Mineta before you… The name's Purple Reign… Nice to meet ya!"
"Oh dear god…" Aizawa-sensei says, "Midnight had actually got somebody to take on that stupid name…" When everyone looks at Mineta, they can see he has grown from his original 3ft 7in to about 5ft 7in tall, but more than that, he does look like, as he implied, a smooth criminal, specifically, a Mafia Boss. "Also Midoriya, you can thank me later for saving your daughter."
"Huh?" Izuku asks.
"I'm training to be an SVU hero, and child kidnappings and experimentation are all part of the game…" Mineta says, "I was able to figure out Overhaul's movement patterns, and I figured out the one place the bastard wouldn't go to…" He shows Izuku a picture of the place that Eri had been rescued in, the Mall. "Overhaul is a real germaphobe, not to mention an isolationist, so the one place he never goes to is where he is more than likely to run into people and a lot of them at the same time... That's why I suggested a Mall not too far from Overhaul's hideout."
"Wait, you were the one who suggested that place?" Izuku asks, his scleras turning black, to which Mineta grips his gun as Izuku walks to the perv, glaring at him. But then Izuku does something nobody expects, he hugs Mineta. "Thank you, Mineta… Eri is safe thanks to your insight… Thank you!"
"Hey no problem… But uh… Could you let me go? This doens't feel right…" Mineta says, his homophobia starting to sink in. 'Calm down, Mineta, he's just showing appreciation… Everything is fine… Everything is fine…!'
"Oh sorry!" Izuku says, letting go.
"It's cool!" Mineta says, "Just not used to hugging any guy except for my pops, thats all." The rest of the ride is pretty boring, but Mineta reveals what he has been going through for the past couple of months… Which brings us to…
MINETA'S MINSODE
MID-CHAPTER BONUS EPISODE: There is a Disturbance in the Perv
Over the past several months, Mineta has been working very hard as he has begun learning several techniques of the Perv. One of the handful of Techniques that he has mastered thus far is known as "Pleasure Palace" an attack of Concentrated Perv that, when it lands, causes the victim to go through feelings of euphoria and joy that they… Relieve… Themselves of their sexual frustrations, and their bodies go limp. Mineta's specific version, "Pleasure Palace: Fermentation" is a variant that uses his Buttshot to focus the energy into pair of shotgun blasts that not only deal the usual effects, but causes them to last long as the person experiences a form of stupor that causes the effects to slowly diminish over time instead of in a few moments. The polar opposite is "Pain Palazzo: Intoxication" Which does the exact same thing, except that it focuses on using pain instead of pleasure, and the pain itself is agonizing to normal people, and slowly fades away with time.
The other three techniques that Mineta has mastered over the past few months are known as the Pelvic Burst, a kinetic shockwave created by focusing Perv into the hips and then thrusting forward with all of one's might. The "Painful Pleasure", which is a fighting style that focuses on striking pressure points and infusing the attacks with Perv to make one experience both Pain and Pleasure at the same time, paralyzing the target in a mess of mixed feelings. Then there is Mineta's own signature technique, "Wine Bondage" Which mixes Perv energy with his Pop-Off, wither as slugs or "grenades" as Mineta has learned to manipulate the Magnetic Field of his balls to cause them to "explode" into capture nets, thus inducing either Pleasure Palace or Pain Palazzo.
But in any case, aside from training his Quirk, Mineta has been physically training with members of SVU, and thankfully, they were able to help Mineta not only grow stronger, they also found out that Mineta's growth was stunted by the amount of iron in his system. So, they used Pop-Off constantly to reduce the amount of iron in Purple Reign's body, and low and behold, Mineta went through a rapid growth spurt in the last two months, which allowed for the results of his workouts not only to become more noticeable, but also to allow for Mineta to be able to send back "Thank You Pictures" to Melissa, whom the two have kept in contact with over the internet since her "introduction". Not only that Mineta's baby face matured into something more handsome and smooth. However, after one interaction, Melissa reveals she is a huge fan of Michael Jackson's music, and that it was what inspired Mineta's costume.
However, despite this, Mineta learns that Melissa is secretly a perv herself, but she can't express herself due to the high standards of I-Island and her father's reputation. She loves him to death, but with her being "daddy's little girl", it's frustrating for her. Mineta, being the gentleman perv he was, encouraged her to keep going, and if he did go to I-Island someday, he'd be able to "help" her, as she has helped him.
However, as Mineta mentioned just prior, after stumbling upon the case file for Eri, and that of Kai Chisaki, Mineta had noticed a few details that everyone had missed, and reported it to his master, who brought this before SVU, and it was there they made a plan revolving around Chissaki's germaphobia and isolationist behavior, in which Mineta suggested they use a Mall in order for Eri to get lost in the crowd, but for someone above her to spot her, namely Hawks. Little would Mineta know that, after what is to happen later today, after the events play out, Mineta would not only earn the respect of an overjoyed father, but the respect of both his former class and SVU itself… But that's a story for another day…
To be continued…
Snap back to Reality…
Izuku and crew soon arrive at their destination, the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, or USJ, where they meet #13, the Space Hero, whose quirk actually allows her to create blackholes in order to clear debris away for rescue work. However, during her explanation, Kirishima yelps in pain, holding his head, then he turns to the plaza rushing to the edge of the platform and looking over the edge. "Hey Aizawa-sensei? Is this part of the training today, or are we in real trouble?"
"The Latter is the correct answer…" Aizawa says "Students, stay back, these people aren't supposed to be here!" He puts on his goggles, "These… Are Villains…" Izuku however goes to the edge and notices something about one of the Villains, his body is covered in hands, and Izuku can feel the Temporal Energy coming off them, and they all feel familiar to one person…
'Nana-Baa-Chan… I think I've found Tenko-Itoko…'
