Chapter Seven: Testing the Quirk, Friendship Created, & A New Recruit
Five Months before the Entrance Exam
The morning sun rises slowly from the Pacific at Dagobah Beach Park. Its has been five months since the start of the training. Of course it would still be the other five months until the Entrance Exam was coming up at U.A. Both Toshinori, in his true form, Nezu who is holding his morning coffee, and Recovery Girl with a box of donuts, exit from the truck that has been use for taking the trash to a junkyard during Izuku's Training. They were walking to the beach to see how their student been doing for the first five months of the training.
"Well we've enter the first five months of the training. I know we still got another five months before the Entrance Exam, but it would be nice to see how he's been doing." Nezu said, before drinking his coffee.
"Probably has half of the trash put up. We did bring this truck for a reason for to drop off more trash at the junkyard. Plus, I betcha the poor kid is hungry as well. Good thing we stop by at the Donuts Shop to pick up a couple of donuts." Recovery Girl said.
"We did got the dounts for free because of me." Toshinori said.
"Ah yes. Many people like you and thanks to your form as All Might, pretty much we don't need to pay. Always work in the playbook." Nezu said.
Their conversation was interrupted by a scream. They look up to see non other than Izuku, standing on top of the pile of trash, screaming at the sky with the green aura from the Chaos Emerald surrounding his body. Toshinori ran to the edge of the steps where he face turn to a shock one. "Hey, hey. Holy Crap, kid." The beach itself was clean. Not a single trash on shore. Everything was gone. "You even clean up outside the area I told you too. Seriously, there's not one spec of trash on the beach. You exceeded my expectations." He said.
Both Nezu and Recovery Girl followed suit where shock faces, witnessing the entire beach clean up with no trash in the area. "I don't believe it. He did it." Recovery Girl said, dropping the box of donuts to the ground. Luckily, it was still sealed.
"And with only five months before the Entrance Exam, he did it fast than ever." Nezu said, with a shock face.
"Holy… stinking..." Toshinori spoke slowly before transforming to his muscular figure. "Super Crap!"
Izuku was exhausted as the green aura from the emerald's power disappeared. He begin to fall to the ground, only for All Might to catch the boy in his arms. "Excellent work." he said, with his trademark smile at him.
"I.. finished everything… All Might,… I did it." he said, tired and sore from all the hard work it taken his body throughout the ten months he went through. "Do you thing I'm ready now?" He referred about One for All.
"You did good, kid. I gotta say I'm impress." All Might put Izuku on the ground as the boy stood on his feet, struggling a little while both Nezu and Recovery Girl ran down the steps of the seawall to the two.
"Well done, Midoriya. I will say I didn't think you would do it in a five month span but you exceed expectations as I predicted. Take a bow. You earn it." Nezu said.
"Congrats, Sonny. You gotta be tired as ever. I hope you're haven't ate anything yet. Care for donuts?" Recovery Girl raised the box in front of the boy, offering him a donuts.
Izuku smiled, looking at his hands. He begin to start crying with tears of joy. "Guys, do I deserve this? Are you sure?" he asked, tears coming out from his eyes. "You put so much time and energy in helping me. How I end up so lucky?"
"Aww, poor boy. Tears of joy for him." Recovery Girl said.
"Be proud, Midoriya. You've accomplish so much for this moment. Now, the moment has come for your reward." Nezu said, turning to All Might. "All Might, its time."
"Yes, sir." The Symbol of Peace use his right hand one of his distinct bangs, pulling a piece of hair from it. "Now, for your reward, Izuku Midoriya."
"Yes, sir." he said, looking at his hero with a determine face.
"Someone told me this one. There's a difference between being lucky and deserving. One's an accident, the other a reward. Never get the two confused. Take that to heart, young man. This gift. You earn it with your own valeted efforts." All Might raise his right hand with the piece of hair in front of Izuku. "Now, eat this."
Izuku blinked after hearing what the hero said. "Eh?"
"To inhered my power, you get to swallow some of my DNA. That's how it works." All Might said, rubbing his head, comically.
"Are you serious, All Might? A piece of hair to give the young man the power? You're not letting this happen right, principal?" Recovery Girl strictly told them.
"Well,… its the only way. Come on, Midoriya. You've earn it. Do as All Might would say." Nezu said.
"T-This isn't it how I imaging it." he said.
"Come on! Eat! Eat! EAT!" All Might yelled.
From there, Izuku didn't waste no time. With a disgusting look on his face, he quickly put the piece of hair into his mouth and swallowed it. He felt like vomiting after swallowing it. Recovery Girl quickly gave a bottle of water to the boy as he begin drinking it faster. He finished the entire bottle within seconds. He breath in and all from. "T-T-That was very sick to eat a piece of hair." He said.
"Good. You swallowed it." All Might said.
"Y-Yeah. But I don't feel like anything's different yet." Izuku said, looking at his hands.
"HA HA HA HA! Well, of course not. You're body has to process the hair first." All Might turn to a clock nearby, seeing the time of 6:15am. "It should kick in after 2 maybe 3 hours."
After that, Nezu approached Izuku by pulling out a card from his pocket, giving it to the boy. Izuku recuperated from eating the piece of All Might's Hair. He look to see the principal coming to him with a card in his hand. He was curious to find out what it is. "Here you go, Midoriya. Feel free to take this." Nezu said as the boy took the card.
"U-Uh, what is this?" Izuku asked, examining the card.
"Its your Special Entry Permission ID Card so that way you can show it to the guard once you come to the academy. Speaking of which, since I gave this card, later today you will come by to the academy for the next phase of your training. Perhaps the biggest one of all. We're going to see how you can handle both One For All and the Chaos Emerald at the same time." Nezu said.
"W-Wait! S-Seriously? I mean I just finished up doing all this on the beach and we're about to enter the next phase now? Can we wait until another time to do it?" Izuku asked.
"He's does have a point.. The boy's tired from all the work he did." Recovery Girl said.
"All Might and I did agree that if the boy were to finish before the Entrance Exam were to come, that we proceed on to the next phase of training. I didn't think he would finish this early with only five months to go. However, since you are very exhausted from the work you've done, we give you at least six hours to rest up and get something to eat. Recovery Girl did bring you donuts in the box. You can take the whole box with you home. Report to the academy at 12pm noon time. Don't worry about bringing your own workout clothes, we got some gym clothes equip for you." Nezu explained.
"Also, one more thing before you go. Its about One For All." All Might explains. "You may have molded your body into a proper vessel. But you did in the hurry. So be cautious. The psychical backlash of One For All can be intense. There's no time to go into the fine details. But we will see how you handle it later on. It'll be a test run. With the first phase of the training done, you grew more muscles than before. I'm pretty clear you can handle it with the emerald. If you do, then its for sure a success."
"T-That's fine. I won't let you down. I'll see you later at the academy. Thank you for everything." Izuku said bowing before leaving. Recovery Girl gave the box of donuts to the boy. He then grabbed his backpack and said goodbye, leaving the beach for home.
"Are you sure about this? I have a bad feeling that this will be difficult for the boy to go through with this." Recovery Girl said, with a concern look.
"You'll be on stand by at the stadium in case the Quirk goes very wrong. I know your Healing Quirk can heal his bones in his body, but I have confidence in the boy he can handle the Quirk." Nezu said.
"Very well. But if anything happens, you two will be held accountable for it." Recovery Girl said, glaring at the two.
"So be it. We should return to the academy and prepare things for the second phase of training." Nezu said.
"But first, I need to know how to get all this trash to the junk yard. And my truck is too small for it. "Sigh" I wish I had a big truck."All Might said, looking at the pile of trash on the seawall Izuku was standing on earlier.
"This was the only truck I could order. Probably should've save money for a bigger truck." Nezu said as the three were proceeding up the steps to the truck.
Suddenly, All Might pause for a minute to look back at the beach. He wasn't seeing the view of the area. Instead, he sense something like they're being watched. The odd thing was nobody wasn't there other than them. People were still asleep before the morning sun rises up. Nezu turn to All Might while Recovery Girl did the same. "You sense that didn't you?" the Principal asked.
"I'm not sure what I feel. But looking back, I feel is like we were being watched. But there's nobody here." All Might said.
"I felt it too. Not sure what it is either." Nezu said.
"Probably just an imagination maybe." Recovery Girl said.
"Perhaps it could be. I'm not sure." All Might said.
"Well, will probably deal with this another time. Come on, let's get this junk to the junkyard and return to the academy." Nezu said as the three proceed to the truck.
But one thing for sure, both All Might and Nezu were right. Somebody was indeed watching them. An Egg Drone, which is still activates its cloaking device were spying on them from the beach.
Back on the Egg Drone, Eggman, Snively, and their minions were watching the truck with the trash on the back, driving away from the beach. It was a long five months though the training was suppose to be ten months. But thanks to Izuku, the training part was over. They had all the recording of Izuku's training from the first five months. They even saw him with the Chaos Emerald during the training. Now, they heard the conversation of the next phase of the training.
"Its about time this whole training would end. I was just about to get bore of the whole thing already. However, we got the information and recorded the whole training. The way the boy handle the whole thing with the Chaos Emerald is very interesting." Eggman said.
"So what's the next plans moving forward now the training's over?" Snively asked.
"We heard that the boy is heading for this U.A. Academy for the next phase of training. We got the location of the place he's heading. Will send in a couple of drones towards that location so we can follow the boy's movements. He's also bring the Chaos Emerald with him for the training. I believe there something that was call One For All I heard. I'm not sure what it was." Eggman said.
"Do you think it had something to do with that boy eating that piece of hair from All Might?" Orbot asked.
"We did heard him that if he ate that piece of hair, the boy would grant him the powers from that big man." Grounder said, referring to All Might.
"A piece of hair? Seriously? This has to be a joke or something. But nevertheless, we must continue on looking at what the boy will be doing next. Have a drones head to U.A. at once." Eggman said.
"Yes, sir." the Minions said.
Seven Hours Later
Later in the afternoon, Izuku arrived at the academy. He show his ID to the security guard at the gate before walking in to the building. He walk to the Principal Office to see both Toshinori, in his regular form and Nezu there. Wasting no time, the three proceed out from the building towards a security cart. The three climb on where Izuku sat in the backseat. Nezu sat at the driver seat with Toshinori in the passenger seat. Nezu drove the cart on the trail through the campus grounds. Minutes later, they stumble towards large building that turns out to be a stadium. Izuku was surprised to see it here at the campus ground.
They parked the cart next to the entrance to the stadium. Exiting off the cart, they walk inside the stadium. Nezu gave Izuku directions to a nearby locker room to change in clothes before they would take the field. The boy saw the locker room to his right. He enter quickly where he saw a gym suit with blue shirt and blue sweatpants on a bench. It snows a sticky note saying "For Midoriya" on it. Izuku waste no time to change in to the new clothing. Once he was done, he grabbed the Chaos Emerald from his back and exit the locker room.
He walk in to the middle of the stadium. Looking around to see how large it was. The stadium was empty with nobody around. He was amazed by it. Looking at the sky as well with no roof. He look forward to see both Nezu and Toshinori, standing in the middle of a flat square of concrete, surrounded by grass. "Welcome Midoriya to the Sports Festival Stadium." the Principal said.
"W-Wow, this is so awesome. The place of the U.A. Sports Festival would occur. I never thought I would be standing here at this place." Izuku said, looking around.
"We always hold this place for the Sports Festival. People watching it around the world to see how students at the academy shows off their Quirks to the world to prove who can be the champions and to show how it takes to be a Hero. But this place here is the next phase of your training. You did bring the emerald didn't you?" Nezu asked as the boy pulled out the emerald from his pocket. "Good. Well then. Let's start it shall we?"
"Remember what I told you at the beach. Recovery Girl is here as well. She's at the Nurse Office in the stadium in case the Quirk hurts you. Just be prepare." Toshinori said.
"Okay. I'm ready." Izuku said with a determine look.
"Before you prepare for One for All, we're gonna do the first steps of the second phase. We want to see how you do with the Chaos Emerald. And we have some good Heroes that want to see how you do. Will the first person come out to the grounds." Nezu said.
Right on cue, a tail figure enter to the stadium. He wore a tan cloak that covers most of his body, the area over his torso and the high collar resembling that of a double-breasted trench coat. Underneath, he wears a skin-tight black bodysuit with a golden striped neck area, and a matching black helmet that covers his entire head, a jaw-guard attached over his nose, around his jaw, and circular mufflers. He also wore baggy dark gray pants and a pair of thin, lightweight prosthetic legs.
"N-No way! T-That's the Pro Hero Ectoplasm!" Izuku said, with eyes wide.
"You're the boy that All Might met, correct?" Ectoplasm asked. "I look forward to see how you can do."
"As part of this training, you will go through a gauntlet type training match against each Hero you'll face. You'll be timed to see how you can do with the emerald against these heroes. Once you beaten a hero, you'll face another hero. It'll be the same until you finish all heroes off. Let's just say that this is a preview of your Entrance Exam coming in five months. But don't worry, you won't face any of them during the exam. Good luck, Midoriya." Nezu said as he and Toshinori walk off the field to nearby seats.
Both Izuku and Ectoplasm stood in the concrete square, staring at one another. Izuku was a little nervous, especially going against a Pro-Hero. But he want to prove to his idol he can be that hero. This next training is next level and it was gonna be tougher. He activate the Chaos Emerald where the green aura surrounds his body. Feeling the power of the object once again.
"You may begin… start!" Nezu yelled as the Giant HD Screen from the right top of the stadium came on with the timer.
Ectoplasm made his first move by charging towards Izuku. He quickly move his body to the right, where he was right behind the boy. He use his right prosthetic leg to kick Izuku. But the boy responds by using his body to lean backwards, using both his hands to support himself. The prosthetic leg swung in front of his face, feeling the wind from it. Izuku quickly gain balance, looking back to the hero using his leg again for another kick. He flip himself, dodging more kicks from the hero. The boy had to think of something. He can't keep defending himself from attacks. Ectoplasm use his left prosthetic leg, tripping the boy to the ground. Izuku fell but quickly open his eyes to see the hero about to use his prosthetic leg to hit him. The boy quickly rolled himself to the left, dodging the strike.
Izuku got up and quickly went on the offense. Creating himself into a ball by using spin dash. He launch himself towards the hero and quickly use his right leg to swing towards his opponent's head. Ectoplasm dodged the attack and answers back with a quick kick on Izuku's back. The boy felt it, sending him on the ground. The boy quickly got up to see his opponent looking at him. He was breathing hard at the same time. "He's too good right now. All those combat skills his doing is tough. I have to find a way to counter those skill. Otherwise, he'll win." He thought.
"Seems Ectoplasm is doing a good job finding out on Midoriya's Powers. Even countering the emerald's powers as well." Nezu said.
"Its only a matter of time. That Quirk should be coming soon. He's just warming up for that big attack to come." Toshinori said.
"I have to admit. You got good skills. Though you haven't had a single shot on me, you not good yet. So let's take our training to the next level." Ectoplasm said, using his mouth, shooting out his Quirk. It produce ten clothes of himself. "See if can try to attack to real me."
All of the clones charge towards Izuku. The boy quickly decide to do something about them. From there, he use boost from the emerald, creating projectile-shaped green energy shield and propel themselves forward at speed beyond the sound barrier. Izuku shot himself like a cannon, charging towards the hero. The ten clones were about to attack when the boy's boost, speed past them, vaporizing them within seconds. Ectoplasm was shocked. He tries to dodge the boy's attack. But notice something coming from the boys right arms. Red lines begin appearing. That gotten both Nezu's and Toshinori's attention.
"No way! There it is!" Toshinori yelled, getting up from his chair with Nezu followed suit.
"Its activating!" the Principal yelled.
"DETROIT SMASH!" Izuku yelled, delivering a mega uppercut punch to Ectoplasm's chin, sending the hero upwards. The boy then jumped and delivers a kick to the stomach, sending him flying to a wall.
The horn sounded, signaling the fight over. Izuku stood still, breathing hard after the fight. He look to see the hero out cold from the fight. He look to see his right arm that was use for the attack all normal or not broken. Thanks to the emerald's powers, it protected him from being hurt after using the Quirk. The green aura disappeared from his body. But then, his nervous expression came on his face. "O-Oh no! I didn't killed Ectoplasm didn't I? I didn't to do that!" He yelled but saw Ectoplasm getting up slowly, letting out a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness he's okay. That was close."
Izuku heard clapping, turning around to see both Nezu and All Might, who transformed to his muscular form, approach the boy.
"Outstanding, Young Midoriya! That was impressive. Have to admit I thought Ectoplasm had you good but you came out on top and the right place at the right time." All Might said, patting Izuku on the shoulder.
"Congrats on your training! We finally saw One for All finally activate on you. The shocking part is that your right arm is okay. Seems the emerald made sure your protected at all cost." Nezu said.
"I-I guess it just happened. Felt the power coming towards me and that was when I charging towards Ectoplasm." Izuku said, looking at his right arms
The pro hero approach the three, still feeling pain from that punch on his chin. "Well done. I didn't think you have enough guts to take me on, but it shows you prove yourself to be a worthy hero down the road. I do hope you come to U.A. soon." Ectoplasm said.
"T-Thank you, Ectoplasm. S-Sorry I didn't meant to hit you that hard." Izuku apologize.
"No need to apologize. You did good." the Hero said.
"Go ahead and head to the Nurse's Office, Ectoplasm. Let Recovery Girl heal you up." Nezu said as the hero left the ground. "All right, Midoriya. The first part is done. Now, we got a glimpse of how you use One For All and the part you did was the Detroit Smash part. Now let's see what can do for the Delaware Smash attack."
"Delaware Smash? Is that a new thing because I've heard that attack from All Might." Izuku said.
"We want to see if you can use your fingers to do a powerful shockwave. By that, we wonder if you can destroy mutliple walls created by that hero." All Might said.
"Bring in the next hero!" Nezu said.
Out of the tunnel, a humanoid block of cement with black eyes and gray hair tied into a short ponytail approach the others. His body shape is evenly blocky all around his body. His eyes were closed and his lips pulled upwards. His costume consists of a sleeveless brown suit that includes yellow stripes, shorts, and an elongated collar. He also wore gray shoes with yellow soles.
"No way! Its Cementos!" Izuku said.
"Hello Midoriya. Its an honor to meet you." the Hero said as they shook hands.
"I-Its good to meet you, too." He replied, nervously.
"The next part of the test won't be fighting so you don't have to worry about that." Nezu explained. "But want you will do is by using another technique of One for All. What Cementos will do is create multiple blocks of concrete. Strong ones that can handle the Quirk inside of you. What you will do is by flicking to see if you can destroy the concretes in front of you."
"I've never done Delaware Smash before. It never has been a style I tired. But with you, I believe you can do it. So let's see what you can do." All Might said.
They didn't waste no time. Cementos use concrete ground for his Quirk. He place his hand on the ground where a green light around his body appeared. Suddenly, four rows of concrete blocks rose up from the ground slowly. Izuku was amazed by the whole thing. Both All Might and Nezu stood behind Izuku, away from the attack. It was all in place as Cementos walked next to the others to see.
"Okay… focus and stay calm. I'm ready." Izuku said, activating the Chaos Emerald again. He took a deep breath before lifting his right hand before placing his left hand on his arms. He locked both his finger and thumb in a circle where red lines appeared on it.
"Release." All Might yelled.
Izuku flicked his finger, creating a powerful shockwave almost like winds from either a Tornado or a Hurricane. With enough power, the four large concrete blocks in front of him shattered, coming down like a building. Many of the pieces including dust flew to where the wind was heading. Both Nezu, All Might, and Cementos covered their eyes, not want to get anything caught in it. The wind finally dies down within minutes as they observe the destruction.
"Amazing. Good work. How's your finger by the way?" Nezu asked as Izuku look at it.
"Still in place. Guessing the Chaos Emerald is preventing from breaking bones which is a good thing." Izuku said.
"Good work, Midoriya. You doing great. Now, time to continue." All Might said.
"C-Can I take a break? Its been so long and I feel hungry." Izuku said.
"Sorry. But rest is for the weakness." Nezu said as Cementos creates more concrete blocks.
"J-Just my luck." Izuku said in a comical depressed face as the training proceed.
Back on board the Death Egg, Eggman, Snively, and the minions were watching the entire footage of Izuku's Training with another hero. The first two they saw were the footage of Izuku using One for All for the first time. At the same thing, the Chaos Emerald was active causing the radar to beep on its location very rapidly than it was during All Might's fight against the Sludge Villain. The more they saw of how he does, the more they were amazed by it.
"Did you guys see how he just punch that other person to the chin? That was awesome." Cubot said.
"Don't forget on how he use a flick of his finger to destroy big blocks on concrete. The power of it is amazing." Decoe said.
"So I guess eating that piece of hair was a good idea. I'm very surprise how he can use both the Chaos Emerald and All Might's Powers at the same time. This boy will be interesting to capture for the Eggman Empire."
Eggman was in deep thought, watching the video. Though he was interested in One for All, he was interested of how he was using the Chaos Emerald's powers. The same type of skills that were matching Sonic. "Did everyone see how that boy fights? He almost fights like Sonic." He said.
"That was another thing we saw. Interesting on how the boy can copy the same fighting stance as Sonic. I wonder… you don't think Sonic traveled to Earth… a while back." Snively said.
"I highly doubt that. But if he did, then why is the Chaos Emerald with that boy?" Eggman asked.
"That's a ton of questions we should've ask the Hedgehog before we left Mobius. Either way, at least we're keeping a close eye on him for the time being once we move in for the action. By now, he's getting stronger by the day." Snively said.
"Will keep eyes on him for time being. This is all leading up to this exam. Let's see what he can do throughout this training. The more footage we get, will be learning more about him. Also, will be looking through the other heroes that are at this U.A. Academy. The more we learn, the more we're prepare to launch our assault." Eggman said.
"Indeed, sir." Snively said.
Two Days Later
Two days after that tough training at U.A., both All Might and Nezu gave Izuku a couple of days off to rest. But for him, there is no days off. The boy continue with the regular workout by jogging at Dagobah Beach Park. He wore a white shirt, green shorts, and red sneakers. Looking around, not a single trash around the beach since he clean it. Since then, people have been coming to the beach more often to enjoy the view. There was a sign that Izuku saw entering the beach park that prohibited people throwing trash at the beach. If they did, people could get a ticket for littering.
The boy been running across the beach for minutes. Sweat coming out from his hair. He paused running to see the clock. He decided to take a break from jogging by walking to a nearby bench. His backpack was on the bench. Sitting down, he unzipped his backpack by grabbing a bottle of water out of it. He begin drinking to get fluids in his system. He lean back to lat the sky.
"Man, I didn't think cleaning all that trash would be difficult. Thank goodness I don't have to do that anymore." He said, looking around the beach. "It really is a beautiful sight. Why would people trash this place with junk I don't get. Looks like this will be my place to workout. Though I still have to go back to the airfield again to train. Maybe later on in the coming days since I got enough time before the exam."
Izuku look around to see if anyone is coming. He went through his backpack again, grabbing the emerald out to get a look at it. "I wonder what the other six Chaos Emeralds look like as well? Probably different colors as Tails mention years ago." He thought as he look up at the sun above him. Then look back at the emerald. "I wonder what the emerald looks like inside if I can use the sun to see?"
Izuku raise the emerald in front of the sun to see. The sun reflected the emerald with the light all over the trash. The boy was memorized by the whole thing. "Wow, that's so aweso-" Out of nowhere, a seagull flew by, grabbing the emerald with its beak. "WHAT THE HELL?!" Izuku look at the seagull with the emerald. "O-Oh man. This can't be good. Give back the emerald!" The boy jumped from the bench, chasing the seagull.
Throughout the chase, Izuku had to dodge a couple of obstacles aka people. He almost ran to a created Sandcastle created by children but jumped over, not want to destroy it to make the children cry. The chase continue for minutes until the seagull decided to give it up. The bird open its mouth, dropping the emerald towards the ground. "Oh no! Its gonna break if it hits the ground!" Izuku ran towards to where the emerald would land. But then, he trip over a box full of books, hitting face first into the sand. He rubbed the sand off his face, seeing the emerald. "Its gonna dropped! Sonic and Tails ain't gonna be happy! I'm such a careless person!" he yelled in panic, placing his head in the sand.
The emerald was inches closer to the ground until a hand jumped out of nowhere, grabbing the emerald in time before shattering. The person got up from the ground, dusting the sand off of her. She examines the emerald, seeing how shiny it was. "This a rare jewel. How colorful it is. I've never seen anything like it." She thought, looking at Izuku who was still on the ground. She approached him. "Excuse me, did you drop this?"
Izuku heard a voice. He slowly look up, rubbing the same off his eyes to gain focus. But his eyes grew wide with a red all over his face. He see a beautiful girl, with cat shaped, onyx colored eyes. Her hair colored of black, tied into a spiky ponytail, and hangs on the right side of her face. She has a voluptuous body that any man would dare to date and any woman would grew jealous of her. She wore a black sports bra with black tight workout shorts and matching jogging shoes.
"W-Wow, she's beautiful." he thought, examining her body.
"Uh, are okay? Your face is red. Are you getting a fever?" the girl asked with her face closer to his and a hand on his forehead.
Once she touched him, he flinch by her touch. "O-Oh, man. Her hand is soft and pure. I wonder what is lik-" He quickly snap from his thoughts, realizing he was talking to a girl for the first time. "OH NO!" Izuku jumped up, bowing over and over again in a fast motion. "Sorry, sorry, sorry! Please forgive me! I was just zoning out on other things and didn't relate I was talking to someone!"
The girl just stood there with a blank face, seeing him apologize to her for no reason. From there, she covered her mouth, giggling at his reaction. "Calm down. You don't have to apologize. Its not like you didn't do anything." she said with a smile as the boy stopped bowing.
"U-Um, really? I don't know why I did that for." he said, nervously, seeing she had the Chaos Emerald in her hand. "The Chaos Emerald is safe. Oh, thank you so much. I was so worried that bird would try to break it something. But you came and save it for me. So I thank you for that." he said, bowing to her again.
"Its no problem. I was just doing my jogging day until I saw you yelling and screaming at the bird." she said, looking the emerald. "I've never anything like this object. Many jewelry stores around would never this on sale. This one is the rarest I've seen. It seems you were so worried about this." she said, giving him the emerald.
"W-Well, its something very important to me. I mean, I've had this for many years since I was little. I always rely on this for the time being as my lucky charm. You can probably say that. Thank you for giving back the emerald. My name's Izuku Midoriya." he introduced himself as the two shook hands.
"My name's Momo Yaoyorozu. But you can call me Momo and I'll call you Izuku if that's okay with you?" she asked.
"R-Really? I mean usually many people would call each other's last names." he said.
"First names is always a good than to say than last names. Besides, my friends call me by my first name instead." she said.
"Oh I see." he replied.
After introduced to each other, Izuku and Momo walk to the bench where Izuku has his backpack. He put the emerald back inside and place the backpack on the ground, next the bench. The two sat together on the bench. Izuku was still nervous, especially when sitting next to a girl. Momo notice it as she giggle by his reaction. "He's so cute and timid. Guess he never met a girl before." She thought before changing the subject. "So Izuku, what bring you here?"
"H-Huh? O-Oh, uh… I was just jogging on the beach as my workout that's all." He said.
"I see." She said, looking at the beach. "I just came by to see the beautiful view of this beach. I heard it was a trash here but since then, the place has been clean. My mother would always take me here as a child to see the view of it. But haven't been here because of people putting trash here. Now, its all clean I decided to come back and see it."
Izuku didn't want to bring up the part of where it was him that cleaned the entire trash. She'll think his lying and all so he kept it to himself. "W-Well, who ever did the work have to give credit. The good news is that there's a sign at the entrance that nobody will be putting trash here every again. A law for littering." He said.
So Izuku, I wonder what that jewel is for? Its a rare type of jewelry I've never seen before." She said.
"W-Well, the emerald is very important to me. It's a good luck charm for anything that I can accomplish." Izuku explained, carefully not mention anything about the emerald's powers nor not mentioning both Sonic's and Tails' names. "Ten years ago, I was being bullied by my friend when he was messing with another boy. I was so offended by it that I step in to defend that boy. He and his friends that had Quirks were ready to attack me, until a "Special Friend" came in and save me. From there, I became friend with "him" and his other "friend". We would always hang out together, play around and do jokes at the same time. I was sad when the left. But they gave me a parting gift which is the emerald you saw. Since then, I've been waiting for "them" to return. Getting a chance to see them again."
"Wow, that's pretty cool to have friends like them." Momo said. "Who are they by the way?"
"U-Uh,..." Izuku stuttered, trying to create a lie from mentioning their names. "It's been ten years so I really can't remember their names." He rubbed the back of his head, laughing at the same time again.
Momo stare at him with a suspicious look. But decided not to questioned him about that. She change to another topic. "By the way, you said you were bulled by your friend before your "friend" came to save you. Who was that friend's name and id you use your Quirk to stop him?"
Izuku put his head down in shame. He didn't want to tell her of being Quirkless. She'll probably hate him for it since nobody likes Quirkless people. "L-Look Momo, I was Quirkless when I was four years old. My doctor told me about it and my mom was so devastated about the news. The world around me was crumbling. Since then, I would be bulled, people name calling me behind my back, and other things. It was a traumatic thing for me. People would taunt me on the internet about Quirkless people. Kacchan has always bulled me and still is to this day."
Momo look at him with a sad face. She never met a Quirkless person until now. She put a hand on his green, rustling through it trying to comfort him. The boy felt her hand, looking up at her with a blush face. "I'm so sorry you had do through that. You should never be bullied by people because your were Quirkless as a child. If nobody deserve it, it should be you. She said in a soft tone, letting her hand off his green hair. "By the way, the person that bullied you name is Kacchan?"
"He's real name is Bakugo Katsuki. His Quirk is Explosive type that he use his hands. I always admired him because he had an awesome Quirk. But then, he would bullied me because of me being Quirkless." he said.
That name hit Momo's mind. She pulled out her phone, getting in to some of the news apps. She look though the archives of the day where the Sludge Villain attacked the Shopping District. It shows the video of the villain holding Bakugo hostage. Then shows Izuku running to the scene, trying to save him. She was amazed by the boy's spirit on that day. "Wow, I was wondering when that name was brought up." She turn to Izuku, showing him the video of the phone. "You were the person that tried to save him. Though it was stupid because you didn't had a Quirk, still you had a heart of saving lives."
Izuku was surprise by her statement. He look up seeing her smiling at him. "W-Well, it was nothing. Sadly, I got scolded by the heroes after doing something that stupid and Kacchan got all the credit." he said, looking down.
"Don't feel down, Izuku. Even though you don't have a Quirk, you showed other people that you can people without a Quirk." Momo said the boy smiled at her reaction.
"By the way, I never ask you about your Quirk. What is it?" he asked.
"My Quirk is called Creation." she explained. "I can create things using my body fat tissues. You can tell the grocery bags I have with me. I brought a ton of food to eat so I can create something from around my body. Unfortunately, I need to expose my skin to bring out that object. Kinda embarrassing to do but its worth the risk."
"Wow, that so awesome." Izuku said with sparkles in his eyes. "Can you show it to me?"
"Really? Okay, since you want me to." Momo said, standing up from the bench, walking like three inches away before facing the boy. She took a deep breathe, closing her eyes. She raised her right arm where a light appeared. She use her left hand, placing it on her right arm. Then an object slowly begin to appear from her arm.
Izuku's eyes were completely wide, seeing her Creation Quirk. Once the object came out from her arm, she hold the obect in her left hand to show it to the boy. "Wow, that's a Hockey Puck. That's so incredible. You can use any object from your body." he said as she smile before walking back to the bench to sit next to him.
"It surly is. I wish I had a better Quirk than this to tell you the truth. But realized it, I had second thoughts and I started loving this Quirk." Momo said when she heard mumbling from Izuku, who pulled out his notebook, wiring information of her Quirk and abilities. "Um, Izuku? What are you writing? She had an Anime Sweatdrop appeared on her head.
"O-Oh. Just notes of your Quirk and information. That is it." he said, continuing to write and mumble at the same time.
Momo could only giggle at his reaction. She look at the title of the notebook he was writing on. "Hero Analysis for the Future? Is that like your notebooks of information of Heroes on it? Is that why you're writing information about me on it?" she asked.
"This is notes to see other heroes abilities and Quirks to learn from them in the future." he said, finishing writing and closing the book.
"Can I see?" she asked.
"Sure, go ahead." he said, giving her the notebook.
Momo open the notebook to examine it. She saw a doodle drawing of her and Quirk information on it. She giggle at the drawing of her. Izuku blushed a little by her reaction. She turn to the next page showing Kamui Woods then to the next page of Mount Lady. After that, she turn to the next page of All Might's Autograph on it. "Wow, you have All Might's Autograph on it. That's awesome." she said.
"W-Well he did save me from the Sludge Villain five months ago. So yeah, it was awkward moment for me." he said, embarrassed.
She turn to the next page showing Izuku's Hero Costume. "This is your costume? Kinda interesting. Are you planning to go to U.A. this year? You do know that they dropped the rule for people that are Quirkless to attend?" she asked.
"Y-Yeah I am. I'm planning on attending the Entrance Exam coming up in five months. You understand why I said earlier that this beach is like my training ground." Izuku said.
"Funny you mention about U.A., I am planning to attend the academy soon." Momo said, which brought up Izuku's face in a bright mood.
"Really? Do you have to go through the Entrance Exam?" he asked.
"Actually, I don't have to take the exam. I'm automatically in the academy by recommendation. I do attend a private school and my GPA is great than ever." she answered.
"That's awesome. You have to be that smart and intelligence to go into U.A." he said as Momo smiled at his reaction.
"There she is." the two heard a voice from the seawall. They turn behind them, seeing two girls running the steps towards them. One girl has large teal eyes and orange ponytail that hangs from the side of her head. She wore the same clothing like Momo but her color was blue. The second girl has straight, fawn-colored hair that reaches just below her shoulders and dark brown eyes. Has noticeably full and glossy lips with a curvaceous figure just like Momo's. She wore the same clothing too but her sports bra show some cleavage.
Momo got up from the bench to see the girls running towards them. "Guys, what you doing here? I thought you were meeting up at the park?" she asked.
"We were but you never showed up at the park. We waited 30 minutes so we decided to come look for you and here you are." the girl with the orange hair said. "What are you doing here at the beach?"
"Sorry, I was just talking with this boy. A seagull took something from him and I saw the whole thing. So I went to help him out and grabbed the object and gave it back to him." Momo said, referring to the Chaos Emerald but didn't mention about it. The girls turn to Izuku.
"U-Um, hi." he said, waving at them.
"Aww, you're so cute." the second girl walk up to him, hugging his head in her cleavage. "My, Momo. I never thought you were hiding your boyfriend from us."
"W-WHAT?! I'm not his boyfriend. We're just friends and can you please get his off of your breasts. You're making him uncomfortable!" she yelled as the first girl laughed.
The second girl let go of the boy, where he had swirls in his eyes and his face heavily red on it from all the hugging. Momo walk up to the boy, shaking him to get him under controlled. "Are you okay, Izuku? I'm sorry but my friend is bubbling and flirtatious with others." she said.
"I-I'm… fine..." he said, finally getting himself controlled.
"Anyway, this is my two friends. Itsuka Kendo and Camie Utsushimi. Girls, this is Izuku Midoriya." Momo said.
"Hello." Kendo said.
"Hello there, cutie." Camie said.
"H-Hi." the boy replied.
"Izuku here is using the beach as his training grounds by cleaning up the trash." Momo explained. "He's also planning on going to U.A. in the school year. But he has to go through the Entrance Exam first to get in to U.A. You can tell all the trash is almost halfway gone."
"You're kidding?" Itsuka asked with a shocked face.
"That's pretty awesome if you're doing all this. I can tell all that muscles your growing can make you a ladies man. I would love to date you someday." Camie said, giving him a wink.
Izuku blushed by her reaction and Momo just stood there with a tick on her forehead. But she realized something. "Wait a minute. Am I growing jealous in me? Why would I feel that way?" she thought, shaking her head off the subject. "But, anyway. Itsuka is going to U.A. as well but she has to take the Entrance Exam first. So you're get a chance to see here there with you.." she said.
"No way. That's pretty cool." Izuku said. "By the way, what's your Quirk, Itsuka?"
"My Qurik is Big Fist." she said, using her right hand where it grew big.
"That's too big." he said, grabbing his notebook and wrote down the girl's information and Quirk. He look to Camie, trying to pay more attention to her face than her bosoms. "U-Uh, what is your Quirk, Camie?"
"My Quirk is Glamour." Camie blew a mist-like substance from her mouth. "It can form an illusion that can reach impressive scale."
From there, Izuku got her information in his notebook before placing it back in his backpack. "By the way, Camie? Are you planning to go to U.A. this year?"
"Sadly I won't. I'll be heading to Shiketsu High coming up." she answered.
"Shiketsu High? That the school that can match up to U.A. in the west. That's another great school you'll be going." Izuku said.
"I know. I rather go to U.A. to be with you. You're really are a cute kid." she said, giving another wink to him.
"U-Uh, w-well..." Izuku look around, blushing to hide his face.
Momo rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Anyway, we better get going. Its been nice meeting you, Izuku. I hope you pass the Entrance Exam. On top of that, can I get your phone number and you can put mine in your phone?" she asked, pulling out her phone.
"Really? I-I would like to." Izuku said, pulling out his phone.
"Don't forget mine, cutie." Camie said, pulling out her phone as well.
"Since we're going to U.A., which will be at the exam together, I guess I can give my phone number too." Itsuka said, pulling her phone out.
Izuku was surprise by the whole thing. But he wouldn't say no for and answer. He grabbed their phones, typing in his phone number and name in all three phones. She gave the phones back to them where the three text their numbers and names to his phone. "T-Thanks." he said.
"No problem, Izuku. Will see you again soon. Good luck in the Entrance Exam." Momo said, grabbing the grocery bags from the ground.
"T-Thanks, Momo." he said.
"Hopefully you're pass. See you in U.A." Itsuka said.
"Bye, cutie." Camie said, blowing a kiss towards him, making him more blushed.
Momo grew more jealous on it as they walk on the steps of the seawall. The girls waved goodbye to Izuku before walking off. The boy waved back at them. He look through his contacts sections showing both the girls names on there. "T-This is the first time I have not only one but three girls' names on my phone… this is s-so a-awesome." He grew nervous at his phone, shaking the entire time before grabbing his things and head home for the day.
Onboard the Death Egg, Eggman and Snively watched and recorded the conversation between Izuku and Momo thanks to their drones hiding in cloaking device. They got information, data, and powers from both Momo, Itsuka, and Camie through their computers to save. For Eggman, he mocked the conversation, pretending like he was barfing at it. Snively only shook his head but it was worth the information they needed.
"Thank god that conversation is over. Almost like I was watching a love movie which I despised." Eggman said.
"At least we have the information we need on the girl including the other two entering the beach on their powers. So that's something." Snively said.
"Either way, at least we see our targets resuming their training." Eggman said, seeing both All Might and Izuku resuming the training on screen. Suddenly, the alarms ring where the screen changes to red saying "Alert!" on it. "What the? What the hell's going on here?"
The doors behind them opened. Both men turn to see both Scratch and Grounder entering and stood in attention in front of them. "Boss, one of our invitation to those villains in the city has been a success. We have a recruiter arriving in the hanger through our mini-shuttle right now." Scratch said.
"No wonder the alarms rang. I'll be there. Order all robots to prepare for anything and roll out the red carpet for our arrival." Eggman ordered.
"Yes, boss." they both said as they left the bridge.
"Wonder who this person that wants to join us?" Snively asked.
"Guess we're about to find out right now. Let's go." Eggman said as both men left the bridge to the hanger.
In the hangers, multiple Egg Gunners and many EggRobos were standing in front of the mini-shuttle as it lands fives inches away from him. The red carpet were set quickly by the anthropomorphic prisoners, who were captured on Mobius right before Eggman left the planet for Earth. They were use to clean and mop around the Death Egg including picking up trash and all. Plus cleaning Eggman's clothes to make sure it was spotless. Other prisoners were cleaning the ships in the hangers where they saw the ship landing.
Eggman and Snively, along with both Scratch and Grounder arrived in the hanger. The doctor stood at the end of carpet, facing at the ship in front of them. The door opens from the back of the ship, lowing the door down on the ground. A figure walks out the ship with a distinct hunch. The prisoners got a glimpse of him and they were shivering in fear of his appearance. Scratch and Grounder eyes went wide at who they see. Snively stood calm while Eggman just remain focus.
A muscular man with black hair, in a messy fashion that would drape over his face with his headband and mask. His eyes are blood red. He wore a dark combat suit, plated with metal armor across his body to holster his weapons. The torso is sleeveless, his arms wrap in bandages. Wears long black wristbands and a watch on his left arm. Knees protected with metal pads and the costume is completed with black, steel boots. A blood-red scarf and matching headband, as well as the tattered cloth he wears around his face as a mask.
The man approach Eggman with a glare at him. Snively had a gut feeling he was planning on striking the doctor. He hid his right hand in the back, doing sigh language as a signal to both Egg Gunners and EggRobos prepare to attack in case the recruiter does anything crazy.
Eggman and the man stare at one another. Both were eager to see who would strike first or speak first. The tension in the room was intense more than ever. Snively pulled out his electronic tablet, seeing in on screen the man that fits the same. He gave the tablet to Eggman to let him. "This is him. The recruiter that accepted our invitation." he said in a whisper tone.
Eggman look at the screen then look back at the man in front of him. "Chizome Akaguro aka Stain. Seems like the way your dressed, it feels like your ready for a fight." he said.
"I am." he said in a cold tone.
"Hmm. And the weapons you have? All sword and other objects? Looks like you're a melee type of fighter." Eggman said, seeing the different type of blades around him.
Stain pulled out his katana, worn and partially damaged. Both Egg Gunners and EggRobos aimed their guns towards him, thinking he was ready to strike Eggman and the others. "Relax. I'm not gonna kill your boss." he said.
"You sure about that? If you do, you will regret it." Snively said in a threatening tone.
Stain swung his sword, holding the blade but pointed the end of it towards Eggman. The doctor grabbed the blade to examine it. "How long did you use this weapon?" he asked, still looking at the sword.
"For a while. Its a good cause to kill." he said.
"I see. Perhaps we can upgrade your weapons if that's all right with you." Eggman said.
"There's reasons why I came. Since your the doctor in charge of all these robots, I guess your the right man who can fix things." Stain said.
"Then you came to the right place. Welcome to the Eggman Empire." Eggman said, giving the sword back to him before the two shook hands.
After that, Eggman took Stain with him to give a tour around the Death Egg. Other robots followed suit in case of anything can happen. Scratch and Grounder talked with Snively about Stain. "You saw that? That guy freaks us out! Are you sure we can trust him?" Grounder asked.
"Don't worry, I'll be keeping an eye on him. Because if he does anything to harm the doctor, he'll be met with serious consequences." Snively said as he walk off, catching up with Eggman and Stain.
Meanwhile, the masked figure look down from the ceiling to see Stain walking with the others. He eyes were closely kept eye on the Hero Killer with an intent to take him on in combat.
"Looks like a worthy opponent I'll be looking forward to seeing soon." He thought, disappearing in the darkness.
End of Chapter Seven
Author's Note: Another chapter is done. A long chapter that was. Took a ton of work on it over the week but finally done. I know the training part was a little short but you'll see more of it and the Heroes in Flashback Scenes during the Entrance Exam, which by the way will be coming up in the next chapter.
Also, as mention I make sure Izuku didn't get his arms or finger broken by One for All as the Powers of the Chaos Emerald protect him. Sure, he got the muscles he needed during the previous workout before he met All Might. Plus, how about the surprise of Stain making his presence known early in the story. He'll be a good fit for the Eggman Empire in the future. Expect to see him throughout the story despite he makes an appearance during Season Two. Maybe some Filter Chapters involving him down the road.
Plus, I decided to cut Izuku's 10 month training to five to fill in the other parts of the chapter. A little bit of the other stories that many people done so I decided to do it.
Finally, you saw the first wave of the MHA girls. Don't worry, that the real Camie with her bubbly and flirtatious personality. Not the impostor which is Toga Himiko so don't panic. I decided to make her friends with both Momo and Itsuka but she'll still be going to Shiketsu as like in the Manga/Anime. The next one is coming with Ochako making her appearance.
That will do it for now. The next chapter is coming soon. Have a great weekend. Big night of Toonami with Sword Art Online Season Three Premiering tonight. DM me for questions and review.
One more thing, the title of chapter couldn't fit in the word box for the Chapter Name because of the word limit. Oh well, it is what it is. Finally, just found out that two milestones have just be made. 100 Favorites and 100 Followers for this story. Thank you so much for the support of my story.
