Chapter Five: Izuku's Heroics- Part Two
Back on Mobius, outside the entrance to Eggman's Base, the Lightning Bolt Society were sitting there in front of the doorway all bored. They've been there for an hour since they were following Sonic and his friends. They were planning on ambushing them once they exit from the base. Since then, its been the waiting game and the members except for Dave the Intern are starting to get bored of it and want to give up and go home.
"All right that's it. I give up. Come on, let's go get something to eat." One of the Weasel Bandits said as they got up and begin leaving the area.
"Wait! We can't go yet! We gotta ambush Sonic and the others like we planned." Dave said.
"Dude, forget it. We've been here for an hour and they've been inside. Its already hot out there and sweaty, and we're hungry as hell." the Second Weasel Bandit said.
"Talk about sweaty, I've been sweating much more in this costume." Chameleon said, referring to his tree costume.
"I think they're right, Dave. We must regroup and plan another time against Sonic." Willy Walrus said.
"I tell you what." Dave quickly got on his knees and begged. "Five more minutes. Just five more minutes. Maybe our luck will come through and they show up. Please?"
Everyone look at Dave before looking at one another. Of course he would pull out the begging part with puppy eyes to let them take the bait. Willy Walrus let out a sigh before speaking. "Fine. Five more minutes and then we leave." He said.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Dave said.
Inside Eggman's Lair, Sonic and the others continue their investigation throughout the base. Earlier, the others split up, looking around other parts of the base. For Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, along with Amy, Cream, Cheese, and Silver, they enter inside Eggman's Office. It contain a lone chair and a desk with touch pad controls from where Eggman can coordinate his robots and lair remotely. Features high-tech computer screens on the wall.
"All the computers are here. Now we just need to get the power back on." Tails said.
"I'm surprise Eggman didn't manage to destroy them so he won't leave behind evidence. Either he's that stupid or incompetent." Knuckles said.
"Perhaps both." Silver said.
"Everyone, split up and search around the lair for a breaker box." Sonic said as everyone went their separate ways to investigate.
Tails walk around the large room with the flashlight in his hands. He touch the walls to see if their any secret door that can find the breaker box. Using the light to see, he turn to his right and saw a silver box. Opening it by using a crowbar, Tails pulled the door open with his might. Took a couple of seconds to finally opening it. He shines the light inside where he found the fuse box. There were names labeled next to the buttons of every room inside the lair. He saw the main button to turn on the entire electricity in the building. He press the On Button.
The lights were turn on inside the room. The computer screens on the wall came on and Eggman's Desk came on as well. Everything was booting up. "Finally, everything back online." Tails said with a smile.
Back outside, the Lightning Bolt Society heard beeping sounds. They both turn to the entrance where the base lights came back on. The security hand sensor came back on. Everything was back in operational. "The power's back on. They could be coming out. Get ready to ambush them." Dave said as they were defensive stance in front of the door.
However, a robotic voice was heard in the background. "Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert!" the voice said.
"Intruder Alert?" Willy Walrus asked.
The group were confused, looking at one another. Dave look up to see the camera with the red light on, looking at them. Then he saw a laser turret above the entrance, aiming at them shooting lasers at them.
"AHH! Run!" Dave yelled as the Lightning Bolt Society ran for their lives while lasers were shooting back at them.
At the shopping district, people ran away from the district. Police arrived on the scene, creating a blockade from any civilian entering the district. Many of them stand there to observed the scene. Death Arms along with two heroes arrives at the district. They see the Sludge Villain, standing there in between the fires. Death Arms see Bakugo in the Villain's Quirk, struggling to get out. "He has a hostage!" The hero punch his fist together, charging towards the villain. "How dare you harm a child!"
Death Arms jumped in the air, delivers a big punch on the villain. Only for his fist to be sucked in to the liquid. "What the hell is this? Some type of goo?" The villain attacks him with his Quirk, sending him backwards to a garage door.
"You okay, Death Arms?" one of the heroes asked.
"Look out!" the other hero said as they dodges the villain's attack.
"Stay back or I'll snap this kid's neck." the villain said with an evil smile.
He look down to see Bakugo, fighting hard to get out of its grasp. He only got his mouth uncovered from the liquid. "You pick the wrong guy to mess with! I'm gonna shoot you back to whatever sewer you came from! Let me go!" he yelled, using his Explosive Quirk, thinking he would escape from its grasp. However, it didn't work or it didn't had any effect on the villain and its Quirk.
"You got so much power. I really hit the jackpot!" the villain said. "With a Quirk like yours under my control, I can take All Might down with one punch!"
The other heroes and the police were running out of options. Trying to figure out how to save Bakugo and beat the villain. Suddenly, heavy footsteps was heard as they saw Mount Lady making her presence known. But, because of her giant form, she was gonna have a hard time entering the district, not want to left her big foot crush civilians near the district's entrance. Kamui Woods also arrived on the scene, saving four people, two that are Bakugo's Minions on the rooftop safely. Backdraft also arrived, using his spigots to burn the fire out as a usually fireman would do.
Every hero was busy with their own jobs through. Pretty much for the first time, they were likely to be outmatched and likely be beaten by a villain. And with Bakugo as the hostage, everything just gets harder and harder from there.
"Can't get a grip on his weird body. Plus, that kid's Quirk is causing explosions left and right." Death Arms said. "This is a shutout. We gotta rally and knock him out of the park somehow."
The villain fully sucked Bakugo into his entire body. Then look back at heroes, launching another attack on them. "Look out!" one of heroes yelled, dodging the villain's Quirk.
"Its no good! None of us have the right Quirk to stop a villain like this!" Death Arms said.
"We just have to do damage control until someone with the right powers shows up." one of the heroes said.
"I'm sorry, kid. You just have to hold on a little bit longer." Death Arms knew the situation just got harder and difficult. "Damn! If only I had more power, I've would've blown him right away!"
Back onboard the Death Egg, Eggman, Snively, and the robot minions were continue to watch the scene on screen via the Egg Drone's Camera. They could hear the audio of the heroes' voices including both the villain and Bakugo. "You can hear that Death Arms' person's voice. This could be the first time that these people are outmatched and the enemy could likely win." Snively said.
"You can tell by his powers, he couldn't get his fist in the villain's body because its all full of sludge. Very difficult to penetrate." Eggman explained. "And also, look at the other heroes. That big female from earlier can't get through because of civilians below him are in the way. The other hero rescuing people to the rooftop and the third trying to burn out the fires with his water. Everyone is busy with their jobs besides rescuing the boy. This could likely be a turning point where the enemy could win this one. I'm impressed."
"Boss, we got the data and information on that boy who is captured." Orbot said, referring to Bakugo.
"Save it throughout the mainframe. Will look at it later. Our focus is on this battle. Until then, let's just enjoy the heroes' defeat. This is one great movie we're watching." Eggman said, grabbing the bucket, noticing the popcorn is empty. "Snively, get me more popcorn. Make it fast. The fun is just warming up."
Snively could only rolls his eyes as he walks back to the kitchen with the bucket in his hand.
At the entrance, Toshinori arrived in time. Breathing hard from all that running. He regain his composer, looking at the scene of where the Sludge Villain he encounter earlier after saving Izuku from him was in that district attacking. He was still in his true form, which a little people quickly look at him thinking he was just a homeless bum. They quickly glaze back at the scene of the incident.
"Damn pain. Its been bothering since the time limit expired on my body. Can't believe I made such a rookie mistake." he thought, using his left hand, holding of where his scar was. "After lecturing that kid about what it takes to become a hero, I'm pathetic."
He didn't notice that the watch on his left wrist was a radar beacon that was gave by Recovery Girl to check the status of his body and the location of where he was at.
Back at U.A., both Recovery Girl and Vlad King were still in Principal Nezu's Office. At the same time, they were watching both the news report of the Sludge Villain's Attack in the shopping district on television and All Might's Status and location on a laptop on the Principal's Desk. Nezu and the nurse look to see the percentage of Toshinori's Quirk and Health. It was getting more and more worst for the Symbol of Peace.
"That fool. I can't believe he would go out there to try to kill himself. He's not at 100% percent yet." She said when Vlad King punched a hole in wall with frustration.
"Damn that guy! I should've stopped him right before he left. I could've replace him to help the others out in the city. He would've been here and healed up before making a crazy decision." the Blood Hero said.
"Calm down, everyone. I know its a tough situation. But for now, we have to believe in All Might. He knows more about the villain he fought. He can do it again. I know he will." Nezu said.
"In that condition? No thank you. Besides, you could've convince him not to go." Recovery Girl said.
"I guess your right." Nezu answered.
Suddenly, the door slides open. Everyone turn to the doorway to see a man with a tired face and bags bellow his eyes walked in. I was the same person that Izuku exiting from the building earlier. "Hey, I was just coming in to ask you about that boy with green hair that run off. That doesn't look like a U.A. Student. Care to explain?" He asked.
"My apologizes, Aizawa. But I'm a busy man right now. Can this wait? We got a situation in our hands." Nezu said.
The tired man turn to the television to see the news report. "Let me guess. Another villain atack?" He asked.
"Its more worst." Recovery Girl said, turning the laptop to let the man see the screen of Toshinori's Condition.
"He's over there at the scene? Why he's not attacking?" Aizawa asked.
"He's not at 100%. He was still in his true form but we tired to him to stay here. Sadly, he choose to go on his own way." Vlad King said.
After a couple of minutes of understanding the situation, he decides to leave the office. "Look, I don't care for All Might but he better find to make it out alive in one piece. Also, principal. We need to discuss more about that boy who ran out of the building. I think I saw a green object he was holding. Not that I don't care about him either. But just wondering." He said, exiting from the office.
"Does that person give a care for anyone?" Recovery Girl asked.
The Blood Hero could only shrugged his shoulders in response. "You how that is with him." He said.
After that, the three continue to focus on the situation in both the city and All Might's Condition. Nezu knew what Aizawa was talking about and referring to the Chaos Emerald that Izuku had. Of course, he would have to tell him another time. But right now, it wasn't the time… until he sees what the emerald could do.
Back onboard the Death Egg, Eggman, Snively, and the robot minions were continue to watch the scene on screen via the Egg Drone's Camera. They could hear the audio of the heroes' voices including both the villain and Bakugo. "You can hear that Death Arms' person's voice. This could be the first time that these people are outmatched and the enemy could likely win." Snively said.
"You can tell by his powers, he couldn't get his fist in the villain's body because its all full of sludge. Very difficult to penetrate." Eggman explained. "And also, look at the other heroes. That big female from earlier can't get through because of civilians below him are in the way. The other hero rescuing people to the rooftop and the third trying to burn out the fires with his water. Everyone is busy with their jobs besides rescuing the boy. This could likely be a turning point where the enemy could win this one. I'm impressed."
"Boss, we got the data and information on that boy who is captured." Orbot said, referring to Bakugo.
"Save it throughout the mainframe. Will look at it later. Our focus is on this battle. Until then, let's just enjoy the heroes' defeat. This is one great movie we're watching." Eggman said, grabbing the bucket, noticing the popcorn is empty. "Snively, get me more popcorn. Make it fast. The fun is just warming up."
Snively could only rolls his eyes as he walks back to the kitchen with the bucket in his hand.
One of the computers that both Scratch and Grounder is a Chaos Emerald Radar Tracker system. The radar began beeping, indicating the Chaos Emerald located on Earth near the shopping distract. But because of them watching the battle on screen, they were distracted by the whole thing.
In the city, Izuku was running through the sidewalk, trying to not bump into people who walking about their day. Earlier, he put the Chaos Emerald back inside his backpack, not want to draw any attention to civilians thinking he was a thief robbing a jewelry store. He look around to try to find All Might until n explosion was heard. He turn to his right to see the shopping district across the street. The smoke was still rising from earlier.
"There it is. But where's All Might?" He asked.
Izuku hear many of the civilians' conversations of the heroes not attacking or anything. One person mention about a boy who was captured by the villain. Izuku heard that, looking back. Couldn't tell who it was or who it is captured. "Wait a minute? That villain caught somebody?" He thought, running across the street to see who the person was. His eyes got a good look until his face turn to shock.
Turns out the person the villain hold hostage was non other than Bakugo.
"K-Kacchan? No way! He's the person caught by the villain?" He asked with a shocked face.
Meanwhile, Toshinori heard the group's conversations about him dealing the villain from earlier. He could feel sharp pain from his scar, gripping it with no chance of reforming back to the old muscular he was. "I'm a disgrace… I'm a failure… I'm not a real hero…" He thought, realizing there's no chance of going in to the battle. He doesn't know that Izuku was here as well.
Izuku only look on to see his bully being caught by the villain. It was whirlwind for him. He doesn't know what to do. Yes, a villain attacking the city and needs to be stopped. But when it turn out that his former childhood friend is the hostage, it was now becoming more difficult because all the years of being bullied by him. It put him on the spot. Question is, does he want to rescue him or just let somebody do it for him.
"Nobody's not doing anything. I don't want to go in because all the events of what Kacchan did to me was sad. I admired him and this is the thanks I get. I hate him so much for it. I don't know what to do." Izuku thought, looking around at the other heroes who were busy. "All the heroes are just not moving to do anything! Can anyone fight? Where is All Might at? Almost like the pressure's on me to do something. What can I do?"
Suddenly, something in the boy's head cause him to snapped. He dropped both his notebook and backpack and ran in to the district. All Might, Death Arms, the heroes, the police, and the civilian were stunned at what they were seeing. "No you idiot! Stop, you're gonna get yourself killed!" Death Arms yelled to the boy.
"Not this brat again!" the villain said.
Back on board the Death Egg, Eggman jumped out from his chair, seeing Izuku running towards the villain. The bucket with popcorn flew into Snively's head, spilling popcorn in the process. Other popcorn was everywhere in the bridge. "What in the world that boy's doing?" the doctor asked, pointing at the screen.
"I have no idea. He just came out of nowhere and flew in to the battle." Scratch yelled.
"Is that boy freaking insane or something?" Grounder asked.
"Get some data on boy now! Will look into his information after the battle later!" Eggman ordered.
"Yes, boss." Orbot said, typing in a couple of buttons.
Eggman grabbed the bucket off of Snively's head while he wipe some of the popcorn stuck on his beard. "Snively, go get some more popcorn and get the robots to clean this up." he ordered.
"WHAT?! You just spilled fresh popcorn on my face and you want more!" Snively yelled, only for Eggman to pull out his laser gun, aiming his face. "Fresh popcorn coming, sir."
The doctor ran out of the bridge before anything could happened. Eggman and the others continue to see what Izuku was planning.
Izuku continues to ran towards the villain. He couldn't believe what he was doing. "What am I doing? Why am I running? Why can I stop?" He thought, continuing to run at the villain and Bakugo. "What would I do? What would a hero do right now." His mind brought back to his notebook of one page about Kamui Woods' Lacquered Chain Prison. "Hit 25. Right!" He swung his backpack towards the villain. All his books flew out in the process, but many did hit the villain's eyes.
At the same time, Bakugo was breathing hard from the villain's Quirk, spreading out. "Kacchan!" Izuku finally arrive, begin using his hands to scrap off the sludge where his bully was in. Bakugo saw him and his was not happy see him.
"What the hell? Why are you here?" the Explosive Quirk user asked.
"Shut up, Kacchan! You may not like me and I don't like you either, but I won't let you die! You understand me?" Izuku lashed in anger while scratching and crawling all the Sludge to get Bakugo out.
Bakugo was stunned by the boy's outburst. But he didn't care about it as he scolded at him, not in the care in the world.
Meanwhile, Toshinori was stunned of seeing Izuku in the action, but was shocked to see his courage forming in him to try to rescue Bakugo. However, there was one thing was missing from the boy. The Chaos Emerald that he use during the first encounter with the Sludge Villain. "What's he doing heree? Did he try to follow me or something? Where's the emerald? Don't tell me he doesn't have it! This is not good! I have to do something." He thought.
At the same time, Izuku's arms were growing tiredly after trying to scrap the sludge to save Bakugo. The villain decided enough was enough. "Just a little bit longer, kid… AND I'M DONE PLAYING WITH YOU!" The villain was about to attack Izuku one more time.
"SAVE THE BOY! THIS THING WILL KILL HIM!" Death Arms yelled as he, Kamui Woods, and the other heroes charge in to rescue Izuku.
Toshinori tries to run to join in the action until a green light flashed out of nowhere. He use his arms to cover his eyes once the light disappeared. He move his arms and open his eyes until he saw that everything was frozen. The pro heroes froze from their attack while the Sludge Villain's tentacles was inches apart from Izuku's face. All the fires around the district froze as well. Everything was frozen in time.
"Everything… is frozen… but how?" He thought, looking around the scene.
"That boy can't be trusted with that emerald." Toshinori turn around when he saw non other than the Mystic Chief Echidna walking next to the Symbol of Peace, looking at the Sludge Villain's attack on Izuku.
"W-What? Who the hell are you?" Toshinori asked where the chief turn to him.
"You must be the Symbol of Peace that Izuku been talking about. Trust me, I've knew you a lot when I was in this emerald." Pachacamac said, holding the Green Chaos Emerald in his hand.
"Wait a second. You knew who I am? You've been in that emerald as well?" Toshinori asked.
"For 4,000 years. My goodness I'm really as old as I've ever been." the Chief answered.
"4,000 years? That's crazy! Nobody should've live that long. No offense." Toshinori said.
"Well, I don't want to disrupt this fighting. Here, take this." the Chief gave the emerald to him. "The emerald will give you powers more than ever and you'll have your strengh back in a hurry. Once you're done, give the emerald back to Izuku and make sure he takes good care of it."
The Mystic Chief turn around to walk back to where he came from. "Wait! I just need to ask you questions before you go? The emerald and all other things. Does Midoriya knows anything about it? Also, you know who Sonic and Tails are?" He asked.
"Why don't you ask the boy about it. You'll get answers more on the way. For now, you need to save people's lives. That's what you do for a living." Pachacamac said, disappearing into a green light.
Toshinori could only look on at the old Echidna chief. Suddenly, the Chaos Emerald grew a light inside. It was growing brighter than ever as the hero was shocked to see. He could feel the power growing inside of him like it was any other with green aura surrounding his body. "T-This power… I'm getting… stronger." He said.
Back on board the Death Egg, as they continue to observe the battle, Scratch heard a beeping sound He turn around to see the Chaos Emerald Radar locating the emerald's location. The strength of the Chaos Emerald's power was so strong, the beeping sound went from a soft one towards a rapidly sound. "Boss! The Chaos Emerald has been located!" the Chicken Badnik yelled.
"WHAT?! WHERE?!" Eggman replied, throwing the popcorn bucket into the air, landing into Snively's head again, spilling more popcorn in the process… again.
"Oh no… the Chaos Emerald is located… in the shopping district of where the battle's happening right now!" Scratch yelled.
"WHAT?!" the other minions yelled as they turn back to the screen.
At the same time at U.A, the laptop of All Might's Condition was beeping rapidly. The percentage was low at first has gone up big time. "No way! Something's happening!" Recovery Girl said when the computer explodes after rapid beeping, causing it to overdrive.
"No way! What happened?" Vlad King asked.
"I'm not sure." Nezu said, looking at the television said. "But something tells me that All Might is motivated by something."
The villain launch his attack, hitting to where Izuku was located. From there, he slammed his sludge hand on the ground, creating an explosion. The heroes stopped their charged, waiting for the smoke to clear. Took about a couple of seconds for the smoke to be gone. Izuku had his arms covering his face, waiting for his fate. Only it didn't come. "I'm really am pathetic." The boy opened his eyes, to see All Might, back in his muscular form with the green aura of the emerald surrounding him, use his arm to block the villain's attack.
"A-All Might… b-but..." the boy said.
"I told you the tricks to be… a great champion..." the Symbol of Peace pushes his arm to attack at the villain. "But I see I wasn't living to my own ideas!" All Might escapes from the villain's Quirk before putting his hand on Bakugo's arm. "Heroes always risking their lives! That's the true test of a hero!"
"DAMN YOU, ALL MIGHT!" the villain roar, about to launch is attack on the hero.
"DETROIT… SMASH!" All Might launch his fist with the Chaos Emerald powering his attack. His fist collides with the Sludge Villain. Vaporizing him in the process and grabbing both boys from it at the same time. His attack was so powerful, all the fires and smoke is the district was gone thanks to the powerful winds of his attack.
Mount Lady, still in his giant form, use her arms to protect the civilian from the powerful wind of All Might's attack. Other heroes stood on the foot, protecting their faces from the wind with their arms.
Other civilians who were outside the district saw a tornado form. After that, the tornado was gone and the winds stopped.
All Might breath heavily, having one knee and his head looking down on the ground. His fist had steam coming out from his attack. The green aura disappeared and the light in the Chaos Emerald dimmed. Everyone looked with stunned faces at the aftermath. Both Izuku and Bakugo lay on the ground, unconsciously but were gonna be okay. The sky grew darker as the clouds came together and begin raining throughout the city. Death Arms looked at the sky, turning back to All Might still with a shocked face. "Holy crap… he changed the weather." he said.
The Symbol of Peace stood up, looking at the civilians with his usually smile on his face. He raised his fist in the air as the civilians celebrated his victory. He slightly turn his head at Izuku, still unconscious on the floor with a comically face.
In the aftermath, the Sludge Villain was taking into custody. Many of the goo that are his body were in multiple trash bags. Officers threw the trash bags in the back of the police van. All Might surrounded by the media, taking questions by reporters. Photographers took pictures of the Symbol of Peace. Izuku look down, embarrassed as he was being scolded by both Death Arms and Kamui Woods for his stupidity. Bakugo was getting praised by other heroes. But he didn't pay any attention to them. His glare towards Izuku.
Back at U.A., the three were stunned on how All Might beaten the villain. Though both Vlad King and Recovery Girl knew he would pull it off, there was one thing they didn't see which Nezu did. The power of the Green Chaos Emerald. The principal saw it with his own eyes.
"So that's the power of the emerald? All Might wasn't lying. I guess Midoriya knows everything about it. I think he will make a good fit to become All Might's Successor." Nezu thought.
Back in the city, the sun begin to set down for the day. Many people went about their day peacefully after the events unfolded. Izuku walk home with his head down. He want to apologize to his idol but was busy talking with reporters. As he walks home, he heard a voice behind him. "Deku!" The boy turn around seeing Bakugo, running towards him. The two stood face to face, waiting for any response to one another.
"Listen, I would never ask a weakling like you to help me." the Explosive Quirk user said, turning his voice to anger. "Don't think you can look down on me! Got that? I was fine by myself! You're just a Quirkless failure who won't cut it as a rent-a-cop! Or even if you had that jewel with you, you didn't help me! You didn't do nothing so forget it. I don't own you anything!"
"That's fine, Kacchan! I don't own you anything either! At least thank me for saving your skin! But sadly you won't! You can hate me all you want. Fine! I hate you right back!" Izuku yelled back.
"Whatever, stupid Deku." Bakugo said, walking off to where he was running before.
Izuku could only shook his head before walking home. "Kacchan is right through. I didn't do that much to help today." The boy put his head down with a sad face. "But, at least I tired. The good news I have the Chaos Emerald with me and I can still train myself to become a hero."
Izuku continue walking home until… "I am here!" All Might appeared out of nowhere, surprising and causing the boy to scream. He calm down for a minute to regain his composer.
"All Might? What you doing here?" he asked. "How did you get rid of all those reporters?"
"HA HA HA HA HA! I stand for justice. Not soundbites." he said, flexing his muscles. "Because I.. I am All Might-" Suddenly, a flash of smoke, he return back to the skinny person he is. Izuku screamed again, comically.
The boy calm down for a couple of seconds. But he realized something. "A-All Might, I just notice that once you come back in your true form, you not coughing blood." he said.
"Oh yeah. I did notice that too." the hero said, pulling his shirt. "Remember the scar I showed you earlier?"
"No way! Its gone… but how?" Izuku asked, shocked that the scar on his left chest was gone instantly.
"I think it had something with this." All Might put his hand in his back pocket, grabbing the Chaos Emerald in front of Izuku. "Before I intervene, the emerald light up brightly. Then a blue aura surrounded my entire body. It gave me strength like nothing I've ever seen before. It just heal the respiratory in my body and the scar is completely gone. No wonder you were begging to give it back to you. However, I still have three hours to regain my form. But on the bright side, at least I'm not coughing blood."
"The Chaos Emerald!" Izuku quickly grabbed the object. "How in the world you get it? Its been in my backpack this entire time. Though I didn't had a chance at using it."
"Actually it did it by itself. The entire world at the time when you were about to be attack by that villain froze. I was the only person standing there. That was when an echidna look a like appeared out of nowhere with a spear in his hand and gave me the emerald." Toshinori said.
"You mean Pachacmac? That's his name. I met him before I encounter the same villain and met you the first time you save me." Izuku answered.
"So that's his name. I have to remember that." Toshinori said.
"He also has a daughter name Tikal. Did you manage to see her?" Izuku asked.
"Not really. He was the only one I met right before the battle resume." Toshinori said.
"I see." Izuku said.
"Right now, I do want to talk to you about something." Toshinori said, changing to another subject. "I came here to thank you and also discuss your question from earlier. If you hadn't told me about your life or if you hadn't run in to that fight, I would've been a worthless bystander watching from the crowd. So thanks."
"No. It was my fault he was there to begin with." Izuku said, referring to the Sludge Villain, putting his head down in shame. "I gotten in the way with your hard work. I wasted your energy and not to mention your time."
"I'm not done." All Might explained. "You told me you didn't had a power. So when I saw this Timless Qurkless Boy, trying to save a life, it inspire me to act too." Izuku look up at his hero, continuing to speak. "There are stories about every hero. How they became great. Most have one thing in common. Their bodies move before they had a chance to think. Almost on their own."
Izuku heard him referred to the part of where he ran into the scene to rescue Bakugo. That made him cry, sobbing with tears coming out from his eyes. He dropped to his knees, sobbing. "And today that's what happened to you… and that's why young man,… you to can become a hero. I deem you worthy of my power. My Quirk is yours to inhered." he said.
The boy look with with comically blank face. Still had tears in his eyes and drool coming out from his mouth. "What do you mean inhered? Inhered what?" he asked, causing All Might to laughed.
"You should've seen your face by now. Don't worry, I won't force this thing on you." he said, pointing his finger at the boy. "Listen up, young man! This is your choice! You want to accept my awesome power or not?!" No response from boy, still looking at him. "There are a couple things you should know about my abilities. Journalists guess my Quirk is super strength or some kind of vulnerability. When people asking me in interviews, I always make a joke to dodge a question. Its because the world needs to know that the Symbol of Peace is a natural born hero like any other. But I'm not. There's nothing about my natural ability." Looking up at the sky with his arms stretching out. "I wasn't born with this power it was a secret touch that was pass on to me from someone else."
Izuku was shocked to hear that. "S-Someone gave you that Quirk? No way." he said.
"Yes, way. And you're next. I can give you my abilities." All Might said.
"Wait. Hold on. There's still lot to process." the boy said. "Its true there's a lot of debate is what your Quirk really is. Nobody hasn't figure it out. Its the world's greatest mysteries. People constantly talking about it online." From there, he begin to mutter about it.
The whole mutter from Izuku causing All Might to grow a vein of annoyance on his head. "Uh, sounds like you're overthinking this inherenating thing… STOP NERDING OUT!"
"Sorry, sorry." the boy said, waving his hands.
"You have to adjust your reality and accept this new truth. I can transfer my Quirk to someone else and that just one fascinated about my secret ability. The true name of my power is One For All." he said.
"One… For… All?" Izuku asked.
"One person can use the power. That hands it off to another. It continues to grow and pass along. This complunated power allows me to save people in need of a hero. The truth behind my strength." All Might said.
"B-But why would you give me a gift like that?" Izuku asked. "What if I can't live up to it?"
"I was on a long hunt for a worthy successor. And then, I watch you jump to action while the rest of us watched. You maybe just a Quirkless fanboy, but you tried to save that kid. You acted like a hero." All Might said as Izuku begin to build up more tears. "Seriously, you need to stop crying so much if you want my Quirk. Come on, kid."
"He said so much to encourage me. He even told me the secret behind his powers. Is this? Is this what I've been waiting for my whole life?" Izuku wipe the tears off his eyes with his hands, trying to stop crying. He stood on his feet, facing his idol with a determine face. "Okay, I'll do it."
"Very good, then. Starting in two days, you will be meeting with me, Nezu, and Recovery Girl at Dagobah Beach Park. Be there first thing in the morning. Will begin you're training from there. Also, you can bring the emerald with you. I want to see how you can do with the emerald while training at the same time."
"I've been working out with the emerald before. I grew some good muscles for the past 10 years and it help me. I look forward to training with you. I won't let you down, All Might." Izuku said with a smile.
"I know you won't." Toshinori said, smiling back.
With that, Izuku's dream of becoming a hero was about to come true. With the help of his idol, becoming his mentor, he was also going to give the boy his Quirk. It was a long road for him to go through, but the time of it was about to become a reality.
But what they didn't notice, an Egg Drone was watching their conversation being recorded.
Back onboard the Death Egg, Eggman along with his minions watched and recorded the conversation. They even got a glimpse of the Chaos Emerald in Izuku's hands. They recorded the incident earlier today, amazed by All Might's attack on the Sludge Villain. "So that Chaos Emerald belong to that kid all along? I wonder how in the world he got it? Especially, when it came all the way to this planet." Scratch said.
"So this boy's name is Izuku Midoriya." Orbot said. "And the other person name is All Might. He has powers that is more stronger than the rest of the other. He said he's gonna transfer his power to this boy. Wonder what it has to do with the Chaos Emerald?"
"You saw how his combine both his power and the emerald to take down that monster? Never seen anything like it." Decoe said.
"Don't you agree, boss?" Cubot asked as they turn to Eggman, who still look at the screen. "Um, boss?"
"Everyone, it appears we may have found our new target. Or should I say… two targets." The doctor pointed his finger at the screen. "The Number One target is All Might. Since that boy, Izuku Midoriya that's his name, his our Number Two target. He has the final Chaos Emerald for questionable reasons. They will make a fine product of upgrades for the Eggman Empire. I expect many Egg Drones to keep a close eye on these two. I'm not gonna rush in to capture them. Its too early to go about our business to attack. Until that time comes, we're study on both of them."
"You sure about that, boss? What if they're more powerful by the time we make our move in capturing them?" Bocoe asked.
"Relax, we already heard that skinny idiot is gonna train the boy to give him his powers. It may take a couple of months. Besides, I would like to see how this is gonna play out." Eggman said.
Suddenly, the doors slides open behind him. Everyone turn around seeing Snively and a figure, the height of Sonic, walking next to him. The minions were shivering in fear to see who it is. Eggman stood tall at his creation. "Sorry, doctor. I decided to let him walk around the ship to see what it looks like. He's been in the container for a while so I just let him out for some fresh air." Snively said.
"That's fine. In the meantime, we have new objections plan." Eggman said as Snively walked next to him, looking at the screen. "These are our new targets. We just learn that All Might is planning to train this Izuku kid in exchange for his powers. Also, they have the Chaos Emerald with them. At first I want to plan an attack, but I decided to let this play out since they're gonna be training."
"The same person we saw defeating that monster earlier today?" Snively asked.
"Absolutely. So until then, we have new objectives for the Eggman Empire to build. I'm taking this very slowly to see what they're do down the road." Eggman said, turning to his "creation" "How's our new friend doing?"
"He's doing well. Just finished wrapping up training he needs to continue as part of invasion plans." Snively said, looking at the jewel on the thing's chest. "And the ruby that's on there can help us moves forward to our goal."
"Have you test it yet?" Eggman asked.
"Not yet. But it'll be ready when we begin the next phase of training." Snively said.
"Good."
Meanwhile, the figure look up at the screen of Izuku and All Might. He could their names and information on there. "Izuku… and All Might… I'll be looking forward to meeting them real soon." he thought, using his hand and closing his fist, thinking he'll destroy them both.
Back in Mobius, inside Eggman's Lair, Tails deactivated the security system as the laser turrets were deactivated for good. Doesn't know that the Lightning Bolt Society were waiting for them earlier but the lasers scared them off for good. Sonic and the others, return to the large room. Relieved the entire powers was finally back on. "Good work, Tails. Finally got some light." Sonic said. "By the way, what was with the alarms ringing?"
"Maybe when the power came on, the security systems detected something. Not sure what it was but it was nothing." he said, flexing his fingers. "All right, let's see what Eggman left behind. It could leave us some clues at what's he been up too." The anthropomorphic fox type on the touch pad with the large computer screen in front of him. A password login popped up. "Good thing I brought my Miles Electric. It can use to decipher the password easily." He pull out his multi-functional electronic handheld device. Also pulling out a USB cord. He saw a USB slot on Eggman's desk. Connecting the cord from his device to the desk, his device on the screen shows multiple passwords scrolling down.
"That kind of thing is pretty awesome. Do you carry that around in other past missions?" Blaze asked.
"There's a lot of things that the Miles Electronic can do." Tails explained. "Its does video communication where we can contact one another in other parts of the world. Plus does video recordings in case Eggman plans for any other things up ahead before he can attack. And finally, it has a radar to locate the target. Even better, it can locate the Chaos Emeralds and Master Emerald. It does everything in one. Good thing I build this thing for a reason."
"Good thing I found you as my sidekick for many years." Sonic said.
The device beeped as Tails look to see a green light blinking, showing the password on it. "Finally. Found the password. Now is time to login inside his database." He began typing on the touchpad. He pressed enter as the password logo turn green. "All right I'm in." Tails look on the big screen. Seeing a couple of icons on screen. He push enter on one of the files. The files shows selfies of himself with his robots, who's making goofy faces at him. The others saw it, laughing at it except for Shadow, Espio, and Blaze.
"Wow, Egghead doesn't even know that his idiots robots are making fun of him." Sonic said, laughing.
"I don't blame them. After what Eggman's been treating them." Charmy Bee said.
"All right. Let's get serious." Tails said, exiting from Eggman's photos. There were other icons of folders. One saying Failed Battle Plans. Another saying Old Robot Designs. More photos of himself with his robots next to him as the king. Continue to examine around the screen, he saw a sealed folder reading "Operation Starseed" on it. "Operation Starseed? Interesting. Let's see what this one's about."
Tails click on the icon where the lights suddenly dimmed slowly. The others were caught off guard thinking it was a trap since the power came back on. However, they heard another sound, looking on the big screen. Sounding like something was loading. Appearing on the screen was the Eggman Empire logo. Below the logo, little words appeared saying "Booting System..." then changing to "Loading" where the percentage number appeared next to it, signaling for downloading fast. "Must be some serious information Eggman been hiding from us." Espio said.
Suddenly, they all jumped when they heard a yawning. They went into defensive stance, looking around who's here with them. "Look." Amy said, pointing her finger above. They saw a camera ball, colored in black and red stripes in between the lens floating downward towards them. The red light in the lens is as the eye looked at the others. "Yawn… well that was one long nap. Anyway, who dares to enter inside the base?" the camera drone spoken as a normal spoken man.
"Uh, who are you?" Tails asked as the drone look towards the anthropomorphic fox. He then turns to the others including looking towards the Hedgehog.
"Wait a second… SONIC THE HEDGEHOG?! B-But, h-how did you manage to enter lair when the power is off? Even worst, you just activate the power? That's impossible!" the drone said in a shocking tone.
"This the first time one of Eggman's robots can talk human." Sonic said.
"Well I am human but from a computer." the drone said with sarcasm. "But anyway, changing subjects now. What are you doing here in Eggman's Base?"
"We came here to find Doctor Eggman and his minions of robots. They've been missing for about two weeks since our last battle." Sonic explain. "It's been quiet throughout the island. My first thought he went on vacation and just giving up on going against me knowing he can't find ways to beat me. Even if I don't care about him, I still want to know where's he at. And if you were asking about how we got in, the security system was offline and we manage to bust in to the base instead."
"So I guess you found the breaker box. I tell you. The boss really has to be incompetence for not trying to hide stuff." the Camera Drone said. "Unfortunately, you're pretty much wasting your time here. Doctor Eggman, along with Doctor Snively, Scratch, Grounder, Orbot, Cubot, Decoe, and Bocoe have all left the planet last night while everyone in the island was asleep. There I said it. I let the cat out of the cage."
The others were shocked by the news. "Eggman is no longer on this island?" Charmy Bee asked.
"How in the world did he leave? Sliver asked.
"And where did he take both the Chaos Emeralds and Master Emerald?" Knuckles asked.
"I'm getting hounded with so many questions." the Camera Drone said.
"Well, you're about to be hounded even more when I smash you with my Pinko Pinko Hammer." Amy said, holding her usually weapon.
"Okay, Amy. Violence is not the answer. Just give him time to talk about the whole story." Sonic said.
"All right. I'm gonna give you the entire thing so be ready for everything. Look up at the screen so you can understand. Pay attention because this is the only time I'll say this one." the others agree to it as the drone begin explaining Operation Stardust.
End of Chapter 5- Part Two
Author's Note: Well there you have it. Part 2 of the same chapter is over and the journey for Izuku to begin his quest to become a Hero begins with All Might training him and you'll see that in the next chapter. I know its been a while that I post another chapter on the next day. But since the NFL Season is almost over, I guess that starting on that second weekend of February, I'll start posting chapters on Saturdays and Sundays to at least make the story a little quickly than posting a chapter on a weekend.
The next chapter will feature the reveal of Eggman's Operation and how all the plans will be show for what Sonic will do before they begin their quest for Earth. Now comes the biggest challenge right here. I know in the Anime that Izuku trains for 10 months leading up to the Entrance Exams. I'll be looking at other stories on to see some examples though I do want to keep the storyline like in the Anime. But will see how it plays out.
Anyway, hope you enjoy your weekend. I'll be going back to work tomorrow night. I'll see y'all Next Saturday for the next chapter. DM me for questions on this chapter and review.
