Chapter Three: Meeting the Mystic Chief & The Encounter
Back on Mobius, Sonic and the others walk inside the base. Once they enter, it was darkness with no power. Tails brought a flashlight to let the others see what they were going. Both Cream and Cheese were scarred of the dark. The little Chao hid behind the rabbit's head while Cream hugs Amy for safety. The Pink Hedgehog didn't mind it, calming the rabbit down. The others were cautious while walking. Looking around and being alert in case there was an ambush to take place. They stumble to another in front of them.
"Behind this door is the HQ Room. Hopefully we can find information of where Eggman's whereabouts and his plans." Tails said.
"Perhaps we should split up. Look around at other parts of the base to see where Eggman's hiding. He could be leading us into a trap. We must tread carefully." Espio said.
"Remember the power went off. He would've had motion sensors on to trigger traps in the base. We've seen that multiple times during our fights with Eggman." Amy said.
"I agree with Espio. We should spilt up and look around for any clues on this Eggman." Vector said.
"What you think, Sonic?" Tails asked.
"That's fine. Just be careful and be cautious with your surroundings." Sonic explained. "Amy, Silver, Cream, and Cheese, will stay with me, Tails, and Knuckles at the HQ Room. I know for good reason we need Silver to open these doors for us and both Cream and Cheese are afraid of the dark. No offense. The rest of y'all can split up around the base and search for clues. Be on your guard though. Anything can happen despite the base being offline."
The others agree as they depart to other parts of the base. Vector, Espio, Charmy, and Blaze were walking to the left side of the base where other rooms were located. Both Shadow, Rouge, and E-123 Omega were heading downstairs to the basement of the base. Thanks to the robot, it has flashlights for them to see where their going.
"All right, Silver. Let's open those doors up." Sonic said.
"With pleasure." the Silver Hedgehog said as a light blue aura surrounds his body. He begin to float in front of the door. Using both his in front of it where his white gloves with cyan circles lights up. He use his Psychokinesis Powers where the door was vibrating by his powers. He move both hands left and right, causing the door to slide open fast.
"That was easy. Great work, Silver." Tails said.
"Nice job, Mr. Silver." Cream said.
"Chao." Cheese replied.
"Gotta like Silver for a reason." Knuckles said.
"Thanks." Silver said, landing back on the ground and deactivating his powers at the same time.
"Let's go find that breaker box and activate the base before we find out what Egghead's been hiding." Sonic said they proceed to the HQ Room.
The Death Egg
Eggman's Fleet have finally arrived at their new Space Station called the Death Egg. Located right next to Earth, the station shows the face of Eggman himself. His flagship enters inside the hanger of the Death Egg. Inside the hanger, multiple shuttles and bird-shaped ships were being build by robots. A row of Egg Pawns, which were upgraded to its modernized, militaristic redesigns were marching like regular soldiers in the Army. Buzz Bombers flying around the hanger, patrolling. Pair of EggRobos were getting boxes of supplies out of the flagship. A line of Blasters ready to be deployed. Another line of Egg Gunners marched in formation and Egg Fighters doing the same thing as well. On the right side were multiple large Death Egg Robot sentinel that were offline.
The hanger has large banners of the Eggman Empire logo on it and a red carpet in front of the door of Eggman's Flagship. The loud trumpets rang throughout the hanger. All the robots stood in attention. On the right side of the carpet, Egg Gunners stood in attention all line up and on the left were Egg Fighters. The trumpets ends their tunes once the door slides open from the flagship. Eggman exit from his ship, looking around at his entire robotic forces. A smirk forms on his face. He walks out from his ship, walking on the red carpet. Snively along with Orbot, Cubot, Scratch, Grounder, Decoe, and Bocoe followed their leader.
Meanwhile, the other ships part of the fleet also arrived inside the hanger. Once they were landed, the back of their ships opened. Other EggRobos were armed with billy clubs standing next to the door of the ships. Anthropomorphic Animals who are from Mobius, were being treated as prisoners where they would be awaiting their fate to be robotize as Eggman's robots. They were lined up to be escorted to their prison cells in the Death Egg.
Minutes later, Eggman and his minions arrived inside their new command center on board the station. It was dark with no power but once they enter, the lights came on and all high-tech computer screens came on. In the middle is a hologram of Planet Earth with data and other information on it. The large window in front of them shows the Earth itself up close and personal. "Welcome to our new home." he said, sitting in his hover chair with both chair arms as touch pads to control the computers. "The rest of you robots continue where you left off on our way here. I want updates on our drones throughout the world."
"Yes, boss. Working on it right now." Orbot said, typing in a couple of buttons.
"I must say, doctor. This is the best fortress you've build to launch the invasion. Though I'm concerned that the people on Earth will see this object and will be on alert about it." Snively said.
"Don't worry. We already set up a cloaking device on the station. The people of Earth will not know this station exist in space and it foiled the invasion plans before we surprise them. As long as they stay asleep, its all good from here." Eggman said. "What about our creation? Is it on board the Death Egg?"
"The mercenary is already being put in another room for more testing. Seems he's eager for battle soon." Snively said.
"Also, has the EggRobos brought both the Master Emerald and Chaos Emeralds into the Death Egg from my ship?" Eggman asked.
"They already have after it we left the hanger. Will be moved to the room for protection." Decoe answered.
"Also, the prisoners we brought from Mobius are being escorted out of the ships and are being transferred to the cells." Grounder said.
"Good. Make sure they're in the cells and by tomorrow will begin robotizing them." Eggman answered. "Also, any updates of our Egg Drones on Earth with their reconnaissance mission?"
"No nothing so far. They'll still doing recon missions in many part of the cities." Bocoe said.
"Have them all continue what they're doing for the time being. By nightfall, order them back to the station at once." Eggman answered.
"Yes, boss." the robots said.
Back in Earth, at Aldera Junior High, the school day was officially over. The clock struck at 3:31 p.m. as the students gather their things and head for the doorway. Izuku was still sitting at his desk, looking at phone, scrolling through the news of the battle with the Giant Villain. Of course, Mount Lady got all the credit despite Kamui Woods did most of the battle.
"Man. That fight this morning is all over the news. Better write some notes down at home before I forget anything." Izuku said, grabbing his backpack to put his notebook in it.
After putting in his backpack and zipping it back, the boy got up from his chair and headed to the door. He slides the door open, only to be caught off guard by a fist hitting his stomach. Izuku coughed from the impact of the punch, causing him to get on his holding his stomach. He slowly looks up to see two boys looking at him with a smirk on their faces. One has shoulder length dark gray hair and the other with short black hair.
"Where you think you're going, Midoriya? Going home to your mommy?" the first minion asked.
"Bakugo want to speak with you, right now." the second minion said as both grabbed Izuku's arms.
Both boys look around for anyone like teachers or students walking by. The boys proceed through the halls, dragging Izuku's on the floor. They head to their location which is the rooftop where Bakugo was waiting.
Minutes later, they arrived on the rooftop. The boys kicked open the door before throwing Izuku to the ground. The boy heard footsteps as he look to see a pair of shoes in front of him. He look up to see his bully looking down at him with a serious look. "Well well well, Deku. You think I'm done with you after earlier today in class? We're not done yet." Bakugo said, cracking his fist. He grabbed Izuku by the collar, pinning him to a nearby wall. "First question and you better start talking. What did you mean earlier "I have something"? Are you hiding something from me?"
"W-What? I-I'm not hiding anything, Kacchan." Izuku said, pleading his case when the bully delivers a punch to his stomach.
"I told you to stop calling me that! And I know you're lying! So fess up before I get really angry!" Bakugo anger boiled up. Explosives of his Quirk appeared on his hands.
"I "cough" I… swear "cough" I don't have anything." Izuku said, coughing from the second punch until Bakugo delivers a knee to his stomach again. He dropped to the floor, holding his stomach in pain.
"You know those pleads and lies aren't gonna help! Since you're not gonna confess, guess I'll have to see what's in that backpack of yours." Bakugo approach his minions, holding Izuku backpack. The bully grabbed it and unzipped it. He turn it upside down where books, pencils, and others dropped to the ground. But then the most important object came out from his backpack, hitting the ground.
Izuku heard that sound. He look to see the Green Chaos Emerald on the ground. He was more afraid than ever to see it in front of others. Especially when its Bakugo and his minions with him. He made a promise to both Sonic and Tails that he would keep the Chaos Emerald in safe keeping from other people's hands. This time, that promise was about to break as Bakugo saw the object on the ground.
"What the hell is that?" The bully picked up the emerald to examine it.
"I-Its an emerald. I-It's for my… mom. Its like a gift to her. That's it. Please, don't do anything you'll regret." Izuku said, creating a lie about the emerald.
"Are you lying to me?" Bakugo asked, holding the emerald in his hand.
"I-I'm telling to the truth. I swear." Izuku said, pleading.
One of Bakugo's minions look through other objects that came out from Izuku's Backpack on the ground. The boys examines his school books, notebooks and other things. There were comic books of All Might on them. One of them got his eye on a certain notebook. The front of it titled "Hero Analysis for the Future" on it. The boys grabbed the notebook, walking over to Bakugo for him to see.
"Hey, Bakugo. Get a look at this what the nerd's been doing." The first minion said, giving the notebook to the bully.
Bakugo open the notebook, looking through every page of hero that Izuku wrote earlier at the Tatooin Station. "So you're still trying to become a hero despite being a Quirkless pebble. Right, Deku?" he asked.
"He's delusional." the second minion said as the two laughed.
"U-Uh, real funny guys. J-Just give it back." Izuku said, getting scared of what his former friend would do to both his notebook and the emerald.
Bakugo didn't say a word. But his response to Izuku was using his Explosive Quirk, damaging the notebook with burn marks and holes in them. But that didn't stop him. He makes it more worst by throwing it off the roof, landing in a pond. Izuku freaked out, seeing what he just did. "Most first string heroes showed potential early on and people look at them knowing their destined for greatness." he explained. "When I'm the only student from this garbage junior high to get into U.A., people start talking about me like that. They realized I'm ligated. The next big thing. Its not ego talking, they just know I'm good."
"Ego." the second minion thought.
Bakugo put his hand on Izuku's right shoulder, letting some smoke out on it. "Here's a word of advice, nerd. Don't even think of applying. Or else…"
After that, Bakugo and his minions walk off. Leaving Izuku, shaking and nervous from the conversation. But his minions weren't done talking. "That's just sad. I thought he at least had some fight in him." the second minion said.
"He finally gets it. He'll never be a hero." the first minion said. "Better to find out about it now than later I guess."
The three were heading for the exit stairway, leading back to the top floor of the school. But Bakugo stopped along with his minions. "Oh yeah. I forgot about this." The bully showed the Green Chaos Emerald in front of Izuku. "You still want this right?" he asked.
"P-Please give that back, Kacchan… don't do anything stupid. I-I begged you don't do it." Izuku plead with small tears forming in his eyes.
The one word that Izuku probably wished he wouldn't never said. That triggered Bakugo into his rage mode. He did the unthinkable. He threw the emerald to the ground, smashing into pieces. The sound of it shattering echoed into slow motion. His minions were shocked what the bully just did. They felt that Bakugo took it too far now. Izuku had a traumatic face like the one when he found out by the doctor he was Quirkless during Childhood. This one became much more worst.
"NOOOOOO!" Izuku screamed echo throughout the city. He rushed over the shattered pieces of the emerald, grabbing the pieces trying to place it all back like a puzzle.
"Dude, I think you too far." The first minion said.
"Yeah, I think we broke him on his mom's gift." The second minion said.
"Shut the hell up, you two!" Bakugo responded with anger, looking down at Izuku.
"K-K-Kacchan… w-why… w-why did you do it?" Izuku asked while shaking down forming tears from his eyes. Still looking at the pieces of the emerald.
"Because you're the weak garbage that you are. You've never accomplished in life on becoming a hero. I've always hated you. That smile and face you have thinking you can help people. You can't do anything. As I said again. You're the Quirkless Pebble that needs to be kicked to the road. Trying to get in to U.A. is the most ridiculous move I've every seen. But yet, you just don't care in the world that people even said Quirkless People in the world are the most disgusting people that walk on this planet. And you're one of them, Deku." He explained before walking to the doorway to leave. He stopped for one minute to speak. "You know if you wanna be a hero that badly, they're actually might be another way. Just pray that you'll be born with a Quirk in your next life. Or take a swan dive off the roof from the building."
Those words of insult triggered Izuku. His body was shaking more. His hands gripped to a fist tightly. Gripping his teeth together. From becoming emotional crying, he was growing anger in him. He got up from his knees, still with his hands down. The minions look at him as Bakugo turn around to see what was about to happen. "Hey, Deku! What the hell's your problem?" he asked.
Suddenly, Izuku yelled by charging towards his bully. The minions were shocked by it including Bakugo. But was not a little surprise. He knew when he sees weakness in him. Izuku charged, former a fist, ready to strike a punch on his bully. But Bakugo wasn't gonna be touch. He responded by using his Explosive Quirk, striking Izuku's face, sending him flying backwards to a nearby wall then falls face first on the ground. Bakugo forms an evil smirk on his face.
"So, Deku. You finally decided to fight back. I'll give you credit on that." Bakugo walked towards Izuku's body. "But not good enough!"
With that, the bully delivers a kick to Izuku's stomach. The boy felt the power of the kick, causing him to cough. But Bakugo wasn't done he kept kicking him more of the time. He pause for a minute to look back at his minions. "What are you two doing? You're gonna stand there to watch or you'll gonna join in?" He asked.
"Seriously, Dude? I think we cause him enough pain for one day." The first minion said.
"Yeah, let's just get out of here before anyone caught us doing with the nerd." The second minion said.
"Shut up! Either you join in or you're gonna get the beating like I'm doing with Deku!" Bakugo said, threatening them by flashing his Quirk.
The two had no choice. The minions join in with Bakugo and continue giving the beating Izuku was getting as part of his punishment. The beating went on until two minutes. Bakugo gave one more message by spiting on Izuku's face. After that, he and his minions gather their things and headed for the exit. They left Izuku and bruises and battered on the roof.
Back on Mobius, at Eggman's Base, Sonic and the others continues their investigation around the base. Both Shadow, Rouge, and E-123 Omega were walking downstairs to the basement. The power was still off and were hoping the others would find the breaker in time for them to see. But the robot has lights with it to let the two see where they're going. Once they reach the end of the stairs, they walk towards the hallway approaching towards a nearby door up ahead.
"So what you think Eggman been doing for the past couple of weeks? Any details on it?" Rouge asked.
"Not sure. Its been a while since he attacked the island. I would've known by now." Shadow said.
They approach towards a large doorway saying "Keep out!" in colored yellow. The nearby security hand reader next to the door was deactivated because of the power being shut down. "Well, since we can't get in. I guess we can just bust in ourselves." Rouge said, turning to the robot behind them. "Omega, open it."
"Yes I will open it." The robot said in a robotic tone, approaching the door way.
Omega gripped the door in between with its hands. Pushing them both backwards, slowly opening it. Took a couple of seconds to get it open halfway. Both Shadow and Rogue walk in to the room while Omega followed them, leaving the doors open besides closing them for the easy way to get out. Shadow look around seeing damaged computer screens on the walls and connecting cables lines on the ground being cut in half. He followed the lines to see where they lead. It showed a large empty capsule. It was damage with the glass capsule shattered. Shadow begins examines the large object.
"A large capsule? What on Earth was it doing here at the base?" Rouge asked, looking at the object.
"That's a good question. Something tells me that Eggman had something inside of it. And here's the other thing. All the computer screens and the wires on the ground connecting from the computer and capsule are broken Wires all cut up. Shows us that Eggman was covering up something we didn't want to know." Shadow explained.
"Then that means we're in a dead end. It would be difficult to get them back up to memorized the data inside the hard drive for Omega to get with all the damage of the objects in here." Rogue said.
Shadow look around the room. He continues to examine the empty capsule. Stepping on broken glass on the floor. He turn to his right towards a desk entryway table next to the wall. He walk towards the object, opening the metal drawer in the middle. He saw something that was very intriguing. Pulling out to be a blueprint. His eyes went wider seeing something he's never seen before.
"I think we found something Eggman was doing. And this is not good." Shadow said as Rouge walk over to see what he was looking. She had the same reaction as Shadow.
"Oh, no." she said.
"We better show this to Sonic at once." Shadow said.
Back at Aldera Junior High, Izuku manage to quickly exit from the school after facing the beating by his former childhood friend along with his minions. He face has a black eye on his right eye, bruises on his face, a bump on his left cheek that was more pain, and a cut on his lower lip where he has a tissue on it to stop the bleeding. He was lucky that he ran pass a couple of teachers and students who are curiously what he was running for. Of course he didn't want to face the music from anyone because he might be reported to the principal and to make matters worst, it would cause mass hysterical by his mother.
"That idiot. Can't go around telling people to kill themselves." he thought, touching the bump on his left cheek. "Ow. Damn this is gonna hurt for a while. All that talk about Kacchan beating me up for a while. Now my mom's gonna freak out about it."
Right before walking to the gates, he pause to a nearby fishing pond, seeing his notebook floating in it. Fishes were messing with it like its food. "My dreams turn into fish food." he said in a sad tone. "That's enough. Give it back." Izuku grabbed the notebook out of the pond. It was damaged with burnt marks from Bakugo's Quirk. Plus being damped in the pond for a while. "Stupid jerk." All that hard work he store in that notebook for months now long gone. But that wasn't the one he was mad at.
He grabbed his backpack off his back and place it on the ground. He unzipped it to pull out a plastic zip bag. Inside it was the many pieces of the Green Chaos Emerald he picked while still on the rooftop. Tears were coming out of his eyes again. "All that hard work of becoming a hero and now that dream is long gone. I hate Kacchan so much. Sonic and Tails won't be happy when they see this. I promise them that I would keep it safe away from others, but I failed." He thought sadly.
He put the plastic zip back inside the backpack before grabbing it and headed for the exit. He was walking on the sidewalk to his apartment complex with his head down and eyes covering in the shadows. Didn't care if any civilians walking pass him giving him looks. He stumble across to a small tunnel with a sign above the entrance of the tunnel saying "Watch Your Head". "Guess I better be prepare for what my mom would say about the bruises on my face." He thought.
He proceed to the tunnel that would be his short cut home. But what he didn't notice was once he passed by a man hole cover in the middle of the tunnel, a disgusting goo was slowly coming out from the sewer. Izuku heard a sound from behind. He turn around around slowly to see it forming as it was the Sludge Villain from earlier today where he robbed a corner store appeared in front of Izuku.
"Is that… a villain?" he asked, shivering in terror once the face of the villain formed in front of him.
"You'll make the perfect sketch for me to hide in." the villain said.
Izuku made a run for it to the exit, only for the Sludge Villain to land on him. His notebook falls to the ground. The villain uses his sludge to choke the boy's mouth as he struggles to breathe. "Don't worry, I'm just taking over your body. It'll be easier for both of us if you don't fight back. It'll be only hurt for a minute. You'll feel better soon." the villain said.
"I-I can't… breathe." Izuku thought, using his hand to pull out the sludge from his mouth. Tears was coming out from his eyes.
"Grab it all you want. My body's made of fluid." the villain said. "Thanks for the help. You're a real hero to me, kid. I didn't know "he" was in the city. I gotta get out of here fast before "he" tracks me down."
"My body… getting weak." Izuku could feel his body was edging closer to death's door. "I think I'm… dying." His eyes were slowly closing but kept them open. He look to see his notebook, where a page of his costume was shown. "No I… this can't be the end…" He mind flash to both Sonic and Tails, wishing they were here to help. "Please, I need… your help… Sonic… and Tails… I wish you came to help me… someone… anyone help me..."
Suddenly, a light appeared from his backpack. The emerald was glowing from the sludge. "What the… what is that light?" The villain saw the light appeared from his sludge. "Hey, kid? What you got in there?" He then saw Izuku's body surrounded by the green aura again. "What are you doing?" he asked again.
"W-What's… going on… The light… its getting brighter… Is this… really… the end?" Izuku thought when the light grew brighter than ever in front of his eyes.
Izuku groin in pain. His slowly open and re closing his eyes. He fully open his eyes where it was blurry. He use both his hands to rub his eyes to focus to see better. He look up to see a light above him. Surrounding him was darkness. His head started feel something shiny when he look down and see like a green mirror beneath him. He saw a reflection of himself but notice something different on his face. The black eye on his right eye, the bump on his left cheek, and the cut on his lower lip was gone. It was like nothing didn't exist.
"T-The bruises… its all gone." He said, touching his face and all. "But how? Earlier there were there and its all gone."
He decided to stand up on the green unknown object. Looking at the darkness that surrounds him. Looking above the light that shines above him along with the object.
"Where am I? Am I dead or something?" Izuku asked. "I was gasping for my life that a villain was about to kill me for my body in a tunnel. Now I'm here in an unknown location."
"So you're finally awake. But you failed to keep the Chaos Emerald out of the hands of you're bully! That's a mistake you need to learn!" Izuku jumped, looking around left to right after hearing the voice.
"W-W-Who's there?" W-Who's talking to me?" He asked, shaking scared.
"Father, did you really have to scare the human child?" Another voice was heard but this one is a child's tone.
"Tikal, this child is careless on the emerald when Sonic and Tails gave him as a child. Now he just let his bully destroyed it with his own hands." the male's voice was heard.
"U-Um… I can hear both voices. W-Where are you?" Izuku asked, getting nervous while looking around.
Suddenly, a flash of light appears out of nowhere. Izuku use his arms to block the light from his eyes. He waited a couple of seconds when the light died down. He move his arms away from eyes while opening his eyes to see. He was shocked at what he saw. Turns out the place he was in is a cavern underground full of crystals all over sparkling the cave. A waterfall was seen behind him where a pool full of water was above him. Izuku look around and was amazed by the place he was witnessing.
"W-Wow, what is this place?" He asked.
"You're in the Mystic Ruins." The male's voice heard again when another light appear behind Izuku, showing a platform inches away.
The light disappeared within seconds showing two anthropomorphic echidna standing on the platform.
The first echidna was fairly muscular for his age, with a broad torso and a thick tail. Has a pointy muzzle with a sharp black nose, purple eyes, and dreadlock-like spikes hanging down the sides of his head. Has stripes of tan war-paint on top of his head and around his dreadlocks. His muzzle was covered in a white beard, and he had long and busy white eyebrows. He was dressed in flat brown necklace with light blue feathers attached to it around his neck, and he has purple, green, and orage arm bands adorned with light blue feathers around his upper arms and wrists. Wore a black waist cloth with orange rectangular lines and blue rims. He was holding a wooden spear with his right hand.
The second echidna is a young girl, 14 years old with cobalt eyes. She wore a tanktop-like garment which revealed her midriff and the traditional tribal dress with beige, green, and red triangular patterns. She wore a golden necklace and tiara-like band atop her forehead, both which were decorated with a blue jewel in the center. Her white gloves were adorned with thick, cobalt-blue bracelets around her wrists, and she wore a white-strapped sandals. Her dreadlocks were also wrapped with similar white bandages.
"W-W-What the? Y-You guys are almost have the same height as Sonic and Tails." Izuku said, stunned to see the appearance.
"Allow me to introduce ourselves. I am Pachacamac. The Mystic Chief in charge of the Knuckles Clan. And in charge of the protection of the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald. .. even though its was 4,000 years ago." He said.
"4,000 Years?!" Izuku asked. "But wait? 4,000 years… which means I'm not in 2019?"
"Actually, you travel back in time with Chaos Control. Despite the Chaos Emerald you had earlier being shattered and all. By the way, I'm Tikal. I'm his daughter. Its nice to meet you, Izuku."
Izuku knew about the Chaos Control that both Sonic and Tails mention 10 years ago. But didn't want to get into it for the time being. "Y-You two know who I am? But how am I alive? One minute I was getting swallowed up by a villain and I was about to die. Is this a dream or something?" he asked.
"Like I said with Chaos Control, everything stops time so you're still alive." Tikal said.
"I see." Izuku said, looking around again at the place he was in. "By the way, where am I at by the way? Sorry if I asked again."
"You're in the Mystic Ruins. And since you're the owner of the Green Chaos Emerald, look at where you're standing." Pachacamac said.
Izuku notice a green light appearing from below. He notice at what he was standing was the Green Chaos Emerald. He was stunned by the size of it. "N-No way! Its the emerald… But how did it-"
"Enough with the sightseeing and all. There's many things we need to discuss." Pachacamac begins to explain. "We've known that both Sonic and Tails have given you the Chaos Emerald for you to train to become a Hero. But there's more to be a Hero. The likely hood that you must be that Hero in order to save your planet. Because I have a sense of feeling that danger is lurking in the future and you could be the one that can save this planet."
"Danger?" Izuku asked.
"I'm not sure what it could be. But its a dangerous matter that could effect your world and the lives that lives on. But this enemy is very strong and very evil. You'll be the one facing this enemy in the future. The good news is that I know that both Sonic and Tails will be returning to Earth as promise to see you again. They'll be bringing along their friends for the big battle that will be hard and dangerous. Also, you know about the other six Chaos Emeralds, correct?" he asked.
"I've heard Tails told be about the other six. That if I were to have all Seven of the Chaos Emeralds, it'll grant me more power and strength. Be stronger as ever." Izuku said.
"Indeed. As of now, Eggman is on his way to Earth. He has all Six Chaos Emeralds along with a rare emerald that we Echidnas swore to protect for many years. The Master Emerald." Pachacamac said.
"E-E-Eggman? Is that the person that Tails warned me about?" Izuku asked. "H-How in the world he has all Six Chaos Emeralds? What is the Master Emerald?"
"You're gonna have to tell my descendant Knuckles when you meet him once he comes to Earth with Sonic. That person is really knucklehead and incompetent on protecting the Master Emerald." the Mystic Chief said.
"I see. So Eggman's on his way to Earth. He must be the danger that's coming to Earth. Sonic and Tails told me a while back that he had an army of robots he created." Izuku said.
"Exactly. No telling what kind of weapon he has for the Master Emerald down the road." Tikal said.
"So what happens now?" Izuku asked when a light beneath him from the emerald lights up.
"Since the emerald was broken. I thought I would recreate the emerald." Pachacamac said as the light disappeared.
Izuku open his eyes and notice the Green Chaos Emerald was in his hands. "N-No way! T-The emerald is fixed!" he said.
"You'll thank me another time. Once you have the emerald with you, it'll give you the powers to fight back at the villain. You better hurry before your body's being swallowed." Pachacamac said as the light beneath Izuku from the emerald appeared.
"W-Wait! I need to know how you guys know me and how-" Izuku said.
"I'll tell you another time. Now, go!" the Mystic Chief said.
Izuku disappeared once the light also disappeared. It leave both the echidnas looking at the spot of where Izuku was.
"Are you sure that he's the one, father?" Tikal asked.
"Trust me. I know he is. He's the one that could save this world from the dark evil that he's about to face." Pachacamac said. "But the one person I worry for him... is his former childhood friend. I have a gut feeling he'll be his enemy soon."
Back in the tunnel, the Sludge Villain was enjoy his would be victory. He couldn't feel if Izuku was struggling to fight back out of the Villain's Quirk. Pretty clear this was gonna be a huge victory for him to escape. "Looks like he's done. Now to get this body and get the hell outta here." He said, laughing evilly.
Suddenly, the man hole cover behind him popped up hitting the ground. The sound of it cause the Sludge Villain to stop laughing. He turn around and was stunned to see the same muscular man that was chasing him earlier in the city when he was robbing a corner store. The man climbed out of the sewer, still with the grocery bags in his hands, with a smile on his face. "What? How in the world you followed me?" the villain asked, shockingly.
"What? You think you can escape that easy? Because I am here." the man said.
"Well, you're too late. I already have a body with me to escape and there's nothing you can do." the Sludge Villain said as he was laughing, evilly again.
"Body?" the man thought.
Suddenly, a green light appeared from inside the Sludge Villain's Body causing the villain to stop laughing. He look down from where the light was coming from. Then out of nowhere, Izuku shot out from the body. Both the man and the villain caught it by surprise, especially the villain because nobody would never get out of its Quirk.
"There was a boy inside?" the man thought, shockingly.
Izuku stood there with his head down. A green aura surrounds his body. He look up to see the villain. His eyes glowed, his face turn to a determine one with courage. He got into his defensive stance, ready for a fight. His left hand was holding the Green Chaos Emerald, which light up even more.
"What?! How in the world did you manage to get out of my Quirk?! Nobody should've survived that!" the villain yelled, stunned.
The muscular man looked at the boy and the aura with a shocked face. His eyes was also focus on the Chaos Emerald in Izuku's hand. "What in the world the boy's holding? With all that power he has? Don't tell me he's gonna fight! He has to be that crazy!" He thought.
Izuku wasted no time for the fight to begin. He charged towards the villain. The Sludge Villain saw him coming towards him. He using his Quirk of Sludge by forming tentacles to launch attacks on him. One by one, he tries to swing as many tentacles. He use one tentacle by grabbing Izuku's Wrist. He thought he got him but that was a mistake. Izuku with all the might of the emerald swung his arm backwards, dissolving the sludge off of him. The villain was shocked but quickly form more tentacles, swinging at him from left to right. Izuku dodged every single one within a second.
"Unbelievable. I've never seen anything like it. Its that emerald his holding. Giving him strength and the skill to dodge the villain's attack." the muscular man thought, still standing by near the fight with his arms folded
The Sludge Villain was getting very impatience but was very surprise on how Izuku was doing. With every quick speed, the boy manage to dodge every one of the villain's attack. And with All Might here, his chance at escaping has gone to zero percent. He didn't want to stay here any longer. He had to find a way to beat him.
"I have to do something or I'm done. How in the world did this kid escaped?" He thought, when his eyes see the Chaos Emerald in Izuku's hand. "Is that jewel? No wonder he has powers from it. How in the hell did he got that object. Don't matter, I have to snatch that thing off his hand. That's the only way I can beat him. Hell, I want that thing myself. Here goes nothing."
The villain form another tentacle by launching a quick one toward the left side of Izuku. The boy manage to dodge it until the villain form another quick tentacle by launching towards where he was holding the Emerald. Almost had it at the last second but Izuku use side step, moving fast to the left right to avoid the attack. That was the last straw.
"That it! You little runt! You're dead!" The Villain yelled, launching multiple tentacles at once as a going for broke attack.
"Hang on, kid! I'm coming!" The muscular figured yelled, forming a wind pressure on his right fist for the attack. "TEXAS…. SMA-"
Right before launching his big punch to the villain, he froze when he saw Izuku, just like Sonic did 10 years ago to Bakugo, he form a spin dash, creating himself as a ball, launching at full speed, dissolving the liquid all over the tunnel. The villain himself was shocked because he has been beaten by a boy. All Might just stood there, stunned of what he just witnessed.
After the fight, Izuku stood there with his head down. His eyes was covered by the shadows of his head covering it. He was breathing, still holding the emerald. The green aura disappeared around his body and the light in the emerald dimmed. The boy slowly look to see the muscular figure looking at him at the end of the tunnel. His eyes couldn't tell who it was as he was about to land on the floor after being exhausted.
The muscular figure did a quick step, grabbing Izuku on time before hitting the ground. He see him, unconscious. He look to see the emerald in his head. He grabbed it to examine it. He looks back at Izuku with a curious look, though still smiling.
"This emerald gave him powers. How in the world did he get this. Is this his Quirk or something? I wonder who gave you this emerald, kid?" He thought.
On board the Death Egg, Scratch was laying on the chair sound asleep in front of radar system showing the city of Musutafu. He was the only one on the bridge while others were still settling in the space station when they arrived earlier today. Suddenly, the alarm rang on the screen, causing the Chicken Badnik to wake up, falling backwards on his chair. He shook his head before getting back on his feet. He turn off the alarm to see the screen. But what came as an odd time. There was no activity on radar throughout the city. Only see where the Eggdrones were located.
"That's weird. There's no sighting of a power source. Why on Earth did the alarm rang for?" Scratch thought. "Maybe it was probably a glitch or who else."
Minutes after the fight, the man carried Izuku out of the tunnel, laying him back down. He decided it was time to wake him up. He taps the left side of his face multiple times. "Hey! Wake up! Hey!" Izuku finally wakes up, opening his eyes slowly, getting a good look at the man in front of him. "Thought we lost you there." he said.
"Ahhhh!" Izuku screamed, dragging himself backwards away from the figure.
"Well it looks you're moving around alright." the figure said. "Sorry about that back there. I didn't mean to get you caught up in my justice aid. Usually I pay more attention to keeping bystanders safe. But it turns out the city's sewer system is pretty difficult to navigate. HA HA HA HA HA! But anyway, you are a big help. Thank you." the figure raise his fist with a cola plastic bottle, with the villain inside. "I captured to evildoer!"
Izuku got up from his feet. His eyes were so wide. Couldn't believe that his favorite hero was standing in front of him in person. "The most amazing hero of the entire world. All Might. The real thing in the flesh. Standing right in front of me. He looks so much cooler in person!" he thought before snapping out of his mind. "Holy crap. I gotta get him an autograph. I gotta a pen around here somewhere." Looking around, he saw his notebook nearby on the ground. Grabbing it, he open a blank page where All Might's Autograph. "AHH! He already did!" He turn to his idol, bowing him multiple times. "Thank you so much. This will be an emblem. A family treasure for past out in generations to come."
"Ah huh." the Symbol of Peace gave him a thumbs up until his changes to another subject. "You know I would've giving you a warning for using your Quirk. You know its illegal to use it when you're in public. Which brings me to another question." All Might pulls out the Chaos Emerald in front of him. "What on earth in this jewel and why did it light up? Plus, I saw something surround your body when you attacked the villain?"
Izuku all nervous and sweating, being put on the spot. Even when the emerald is in the wrong hands of someone, especially when its his favorite idol. "If I tell him about Sonic and Tails giving it to me to become a hero, he probably won't fall for it. He'll probably thinking I'm making the whole thing up like the aliens came and gave me the emerald. Yeah, right. Like that's gonna work. Come on, Izuku. Think. Think!" he thought, thinking of what to say. "W-Well, y-you see… a couple of friends… gave this emerald… for um… safekeeping."
The two felt silence in the air for about a couple of minutes. "HA HA HA HA HA! That's gotta be the most funniest comment I didn't even think off." All Might broke the silence, looking back at this emerald. "But seriously, I know that you're lying. You have to known about this emerald for such a long time. And the way you've shown against that villain, could be the one that I've been looking for as a successor."
Izuku was caught off guard by what he said. "W-Wait a minute. W-What do you mean to me "successor"?" He asked, getting confused.
"You're gonna have to come with me this instant. You'll get a chance to meet the principal in person." All Might said, crouching on the floor, signaling for Izuku to get on his back.
"No way? You're telling me to get on your back so we can fly?" He asked, acting like a fanboy.
"Come on, I haven't gotten all day. We need to hurry. I don't want "him" to grow inpatient." The Symbol of Peace said as the boy quickly jumped on his back. "Oh and here. I know the emerald is yours so you better put it in your backpack. Don't want to lose it."
Izuku quickly put the emerald in his backpack along with the notebook before zipping it up. He grabbed on to his shirt, not wanting to flies off facing certain death. "Okay, its in. I'm ready." he said.
"Hang on tight!" All Might pushed his feet off the ground, sending them flying in the sky.
With all that wind from the flying, Izuku's mouth and eyelids were wobbling from the heavy wind. Saliva was flying off from his mouth. He wasn't too afraid of the flying since he did went flying with both Sonic and Tails a while back on the Tornado, which Izuku had to stand on the wind which made him scared earlier. This time, he wasn't especially when riding on the back of his favorite idol.
"A-A-All Might! W-W-Where d-do you think we're going?" he asked, with the wind blowing throughout his face.
"We're heading to U.A. Academy! One of the best school around the country! You're meet the principal there!" He answered.
"U.A.? No way? Is this really a dream?" Izuku thought. "This is awesome!"
The two were flying to their destination. However, they didn't there was one problem… the Sludge Villain that All Might caught earlier inside the Soda Plastic Bottle.
Tatooin Shopping District
Meanwhile, in an alleyway of a shopping district, the plastic bottle holding the Sludge Villain was laying on the ground. Turn outs it dropped out of All Might's pocket when Izuku hold on his leg during the flight. The villain finally wakes up from being attacked.
"What? Where am I?" he asked, seeing his mind earlier of where he was attacking All Might. But the shock part was that the boy he captured, escaped from his grasp, attacking him instantly. "Oh yeah. That bastard. If it wasn't for him, I would've been out of town already. But then, that boy. He had something glowing in him and he escaped out of my sludge. Once I find that boy, I'll make sure he'll be taught a lesson."
He wasn't alone in the alley. He heard footsteps, can't tell who was approaching him. Turn out its non other than Bakugo and his minions walking towards the exit of the alley. The Explosive Quirk user was in a good mood since smashing the Chaos Emerald Taking the stress and anger off of him by beating Izuku earlier on the School's Rooftop. The two minions behind followed him. They felt bad for Izuku but had no choice but to join in or face Bakugo's Wrath. Its a long silence walk when the bully broke the silence.
"Hey, you guys been very quiet. Is there something wrong?" He asked.
"Dude, do we think we took it too far on the nerd? I mean he was freaking out when you smashed that jewel on the ground. Never seen him cry that much." The first minion said.
"Yeah, I kinda feel bad for the guy already." The second minion said.
"That little good for nothing pebble got what he deserved. Trying to get in my way of going to U.A. made me sick to my stomach. Tired of that sack of crap. At least beating him got my anger out of my way. I needed that. If he tries to pull another stunt like that, I'll kick his ass in a brutal way than like it was today." Bakugo said, kicking the bottle off the ground, hitting to a nearby pole where the lid popped out.
"Hey I got an idea. We should go to the arcade. Get your mind off of him." the first minion said.
"Fine." Bakugo said in a calm tone.
"Or we can sneak in to the bar at the station. Check out some ladies." the second minion said.
"IDIOTS!" Bakugo anger rose up. "If we get caught, there's no way U.A. would let me in!"
The boys saw something appearing behind him. A slimy appearance, causing the minions to be scarred and shaking. "Hey, what's that?" they both asked as Bakugo turn around at the temperance of the villain.
"Perfect. I like a speakster with some fire." the Sludge Villain said, escaping from the bottle, ready to attack Bakugo and his minions.
End of Chapter Three
Author's Note: Finally, this chapter is finally done. This has to be the longest chapter so far in this story though its too early. Took a ton of work to get it done over the week but I finally got it.
Anyway, you guys didn't see it coming that both Pachacamac and Tikal made a big surprise appearance in this story. I decided to bring them on the story as Izuku's Helpers though the Mystic Chief died 4,000 years ago along with his daughter. The little setting of the Mystic Ruins is kinda different. Despite the ruins located on Mobius, this one is different. Basically, like in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time with the Chamber of Sages and the room where the Chaos Emeralds were in Sonic & Knuckles as well. You'll be seeing that not all the time but in moments of the story along the way.
I always hate Bakugo and writing one part of hitting Izuku so much almost made me angry. Don't worry, I got plans for Bakugo in the story. If you think he's gonna be hated, his gonna be hated more in the future. Be ready for that.
Finally, All Might is here. The Symbol of Peace makes his appearance for the first time in this story as expected. A little bit different of rather Izuku grabbing on to All Might's Leg, the hero offered him to come to U.A. You will see that scene in the next chapter along with the Pro Heroes at U.A. as well. Stay tuned for it.
Also, the little battle scene between Izuku and the Sludge Villian was a little diffcult. Trust me, I'm not that good with Battle scenes like in the Anime or any movies. I'll try to work on that one in the next chapter.
That's pretty much it for the time being. Buckle up for the next chapter as we see the Sludge Villian ready for his next attack. If you have any questions on this chapter, DM me if you want I'll be answering those questions plus what to expect more down the road on this story.
Everyone, have a great weekend. Another night of Toonami coming up tonight with My Hero Academia where One For All will be revealed. Thank you and review.
