Chapter Nine: Entrance Exam- Part Two
Onboard the Death Egg, Eggman, Snively, and their robot minions were observing every Battle Centers in the academy. Many screen from the Egg Drones' camera were showing the candidates going through the city, destroying or running away from the robots they were suppose to destroy. They were observing more of Bakugo destroying a couple of robots with his Quirk. No doubt, Eggman has been keeping his eye on him since the shopping district incident; thinking of recruiting him to his empire. But they were more focus on their second main target.
There's another thing that was making Eggman more infuriating. The fact that his eyes were focus on the robots U.A. created. All the robots were similar to Eggman's robots.
"Guess I'm gonna need a lawyer someday to sue this idiotic school for stealing my designs." the doctor said as Snively facepalmed and roll his eyes at the same time.
"Seriously, Doctor. How in the world can you sue these people when they don't know we exist?" Snively asked.
"Uh,..." Eggman place his finger on his chin, thinking. "I have no idea how to do it."
"Boss, that Bakugo guy is really doing some damage. His using his powers to destroy all these robots. He'll be a good fit for our forces down the road." Bocoe said, seeing the screen of Bakugo destroying robots with his Explosive Quirk.
"He'll be a perfect fit. A little upgrade for our forces, don't you agree?" Snively asked.
"Will still need to see how he does until the time comes. Either way, I like what I see from this person. We just need to persuade him to join us." Eggman said, turning his seat to where Scratch was looking at the Chaos Emerald Radar. "Scratch, any signs of the Chaos Emerald? I believe that Izuku kid has it with him."
The Chicken Badnik turn his chair to the Chaos Emerald Radar. And right on time, the radar was beeping rapidly, signaling the emerald's powers was activated. "Its activated, boss. We just need one of our drones to find him in this city." Scratch said.
Eggman use one of the arms of his chair, pushing buttons where the screen in front of him, switches camera cuts to each drone's point of view. Finally, the screen shows Izuku running in the battle center with the Chaos Emerald in his hand. They see the blue aura surrounding him. He was trying to catch up with the others, who ran in before he did.
"All right, boy. Let's see what you can do after all that 10 month training you accomplished." Eggman thought, putting his hand underneath his chin, watching the scene.
At the Battle Center, Izuku continues running with the Chaos Emerald in his hand. The emerald's powers transfers throughout his body, feeling the strength it was giving him. The green aura surrounds him. He look to see others up ahead as he tries to catch up with the. "Okay, Izuku. You went through 10 months of training and you made it this far. Its time to put this to the test. Hopefully All Might's Quirk can power up my body. But I do got the emerald with me. You can do this, Izuku. Believe in yourself." He thought.
Suddenly, an explosion occurred in front of him to the right. An object came out from the building to the right. Izuku froze his movement, freaking out as the object appears from the smoke. "A One-Pointer!" he said.
An Easy Villain robot, which is a one-pointer turned to see Izuku in front of him. "Target acquired. Moving in to attack." the robot's voice said as it use its wheel to charge forward towards the boy.
"Get ready, Izuku. This is your chance to shine." He thought, getting into his defensive stance with a determine face.
Flashback- Ten Months Later
Izuku was punching a teared up punching bag. He use the Chaos Emerald's powers as the bag was tearing up quickly due to his punches. His knuckles were wrap in tape to protect himself from blood coming out. Behind him, Toshinori in his skinny form, watched out with his arms crossed. He look at his stop watch, seeing 5 minutes has passed. He pushed the button to stop the time before looking at the boy.
"Time's up, Midoriya." he said, putting the stop watch in his pocket before walking to the boy.
Izuku put his hands on his knees with his head down. He was panting with sweat around his body. The emerald's energy dimmed. All Might put his hand on his back. "You okay? Seems your tired." he said.
"I..I'm… fine… just… out of breath." Izuku said, breathing hard.
Toshinori look at the punching bag that was now tore up from Izuku's knuckles. "You did good, kid. Like I said, this whole training thing will be tough. With the emerald you have, you tore up that punching bag real good. Even though it was here along with the trash. Anyway, let me see your hands." Izuku lift both hands, showing some blood on them. "Gotta hurt as hell doesn't it? Let me go get my First Aid kid from the trunk and I'll get th-"
Suddenly, the emerald light up again, causing All Might to stop talking. The green aura surrounds Izuku's Body again. The Symbol of Peace look at his knuckles, seeing the blood going back inside his hands and the cuts were closing by itself. After that, Izuku's hands were officially healed as the boy smiled. "Oh… forgot that the emerald heal wounds by itself. Should've thought about it after it healed my respiratory." he said, referring to his fight with the Sludge Villain a couple months ago.
"It even can heal the soreness around my body. That's why I'm not feeling any pain after it heals." Izuku said, seeing his knuckles healed.
"Well, seeing you handle a punching bag, let's see you can handle this." Toshinori pointed his finger at an old vehicle that was trashy and all.
"S-Seriously?" Izuku asked, nervously.
"I did said it was gonna be harder, right? You use the emerald to destroyed a punching bag. Let's see if you can use your fist along with the emerald's powers to take this vehicle down. You use one punch to beat the Sludge Villain and you'll using it again for the upcoming Entrance Exam. There will be robots as part of it. Be ready. Now, go ahead and try it." Toshinori explained.
Izuku took a deep breath to relax and focus. His face turn to a determine one. The emerald lights up again, gaining power to his body. He form a defensive stance. Staring at the vehicle in front of him. His right fist light up with enough power from the emerald. He ran towards it, delivering a big punch on it, destroying the vehicle into pieces. All Might was amazed by the whole thing, similar to his Quirk though wasn't surprise by it.
"Good work, Midoriya." he said.
"OW! That hurts!" Izuku said, holding his fist, crying comically despite the pain was gone because of emerald's healing power.
"Suck it up, kid! We gotta lot of work to do." All Might said.
End Flashback
"Just like I did to the vehicle, I gotta do the same thing to this because this one does count." Izuku thought as the robot was coming closer. The one-pointer use its right arm to strike. But Izuku jumped up, dodges its attack. Then he responded by using his fist, destroying the robot into pieces. He landed on ground with a smile. "Yes! I got a point!" he said.
His celebration didn't last long when another One-Point Robot came out of nowhere, trying to attack Izuku from behind. The boy turn around, ready to use his fist to destroy the one from behind. When suddenly, a laser came out of nowhere, destroying the robot. "What the? Who did that?" he asked, looking around when he saw one of candidates standing across the street.
A man with a slim body, slightly long blonde hair, along with long eyelashes and bright indigo eyes, giving him the appearance of a young prince. His ring-shaped belt buckle lights up, signaling of where the laser was coming from. "Got him!" the boy said
"A laser? You did that?" Izuku asked, surprisingly.
"Merci Beaucoup. We make a great team with you as my decoy." Yuga Aoyama said. "Although, I won't be seeing you too much in the future. So, thank you."
He gave Izuku a wink before running off to another direction. Izuku just stood there with a confused look. "What does he mean by that?" he asked.
"Six minutes and two seconds left!"Present Mic's voice was heard throughout.
Izuku flinched nervously. "I have to hurry. Though I got a point, I need more points and fast!" He ran throughout the city, looking around for more robots. Turning right on the street, both a one-pointer and a three-pointer robots. He stood in front, raising his right arm, holding it with his left arm, placing his finger on his thumb. Red lines forms on his finger at the same time. "DELAWARE SMASH!" He yelled out by snapping his fingers, letting out a powerful shockwave. Sending both robot flying through a building in the air, destroying them.
"Yes! That's a total of 5 points I got! Still not enough though I gotta find more!" He continue running through the streets again. He turn to the left corner, encounter two Two-Pointer Robots. "Perhaps using a Flying Kick would work. I did that one time when I took on the Pro Hero Blood King."
Flashback
Five months ago at the Sports Festival Stadium, Izuku collided with Vlad King. The two had the same speed. Izuku tries to land a punch on the Blood King's Groin. But the Hero with its speed quickly dodges it. He appears behind the boy, laying a kick on his back, sending him to the ground of stadium. Vlad King tries to launch his attack with a leg kick. But Izuku quickly dodges it as the Blood King hit the ground. Izuku quickly appears to the right of him. That was a bad move for Izuku because Vlad King waited for that moment at the right time. The Hero use his Left Fist, hitting the boy in the groin.
With enough force, Izuku got pinned to a wall, creating cracks behind it. Vlad King quickly use Blood Control Quirk. His blood shoots out from his glove, connected to tubs attached to other parts of his body. The blood surrounds Izuku's body, making it harden for anyone to escape. "Sorry, kid. Nice try. But it wasn't good enough." He said.
Suddenly, the green aura around Izuku's Body from the Chaos Emerald grew brighter. Izuku popped out from the blood. "WHAT?! That's impossible! Nobody can't escape from my Quirk!" Vlad King said in shocked.
Izuku delivers a Speed Dash to the Hero's Groin, sending him flying backwards. The boy use his speed to charge towards the Blood King. He jumped using his left leg, deliver a Flying Kick to the chin of the Blood King, sending him flying to a nearby wall. Out cold and unconscious. It was another victory for Izuku.
"I take it the Blood King should've known by now that he can escape from any harden objects. Just ask the Sludge Villain." Toshinori said.
"Either way, Midoriya is improving in this training." Nezu said.
End Flashback
Izuku curl himself into a ball, spinning himself in a fast pace towards it target. He quickly exit from his Speed Dash by jumping in the air and using his right leg, deliver a Flying Kick at the head of the Two-Pointer Robot, sending it flying, colliding with the other Two-Pointer Robot, sending them both flying to a nearby building. "Awesome! I got 9 points now! Gotta keep up!" He yelled as he continues through the city.
Up ahead, he saw three Three-Pointer Robots, equipped with rocket launchers on their back. "Three Pointers. Perfect. Those are big points that I need. But I got to find a way on how to do it. Perhaps using Speed Dash again will do the trick. I remember doing that when I was jogging with All Might on the beach." He thought.
Flashback
Months ago at the beach, Izuku and All Might, who was back in his muscular form were jogging on the beach next the shore. Izuku kept pace with his idol next to him. He was sweating and panting heavily. Breathing sweaty palms because of the hot sun from above. This whole thing didn't bother All Might, he kept focus with his traditional smile. He could hear Izuku breathing hard, noticing he was getting tired.
"Keep up, Young Midoriya. You can't give up just yet. I know you're tired an all and I would love to help. But you gotta keep it up by yourself. So come on, keep running!" All Might yelled.
"I'm… trying… my… best!" Izuku said, noticing he was at his limit of getting tired.
All Might could tell Izuku was getting tired. Though he does want to help, he want his student to do it by himself. Using his speed, he jogged quickly, already losing the boy while he continue to jogged. Izuku look up to see his idol already speeding ahead. "I… can't… give up… I gotta… tried my best… If only I had a speed that is faster than ever before..." Izuku thought.
Suddenly, the emerald began to glow from his pocket. Energy from it sends through his body. He felt something like never before. His legs begin feeling a stronger power like never before. Then, he blasted off like a rocket. Legs moving fast like Sonic's. He was leaving behind a trail of sand from the beach behind. He was getting closer from All Might as the Symbol of Peace turn around and saw his student coming real fast.
"What the hell?!" All Might yelled as his student passed him, sending a big wind and sand covered his body.
"This is crazy!" Izuku yelled as he was all the way of his speed.
All Might's head popped out from the sand as she rubs it off with his head. He look to see where his student was heading. "He has more speed than mine before. Guess he knows how to run." he said.
End Flashback
The three robots saw Izuku coming towards them. They were prepare to launch missiles to attack on the boy. Izuku powers up his legs from the Chaos Emerald. He begins to go fast towards them, using his elbow left to right like a pinball machine, hitting all three. He escape from the attack, hearing explosions behind him. "Yes! I got 18 points now! But I'm still have to find more to continue! I'm a roll! Can't give up now!" He thought as he normally runs through the city.
He turns right to an alleyway, running in to it and coming out, re-entering on the streets. He stopped when he saw the other candidates destroying a couple of robots. Getting desperate, he was looking around for other robots that were destroyed including the three-point robots he was looking for to extend his points. "Where's a Three-Point Robot where you needed it!" He thought, looking around when he saw it in the street to his right. "There it is!" About to approach it, he saw Uraraka running in between the carriage. "Its that girl again?"
Uraraka touch two robots including the Three-Point Robot that Izuku would like to had. The robots float through the air thanks to her. She closed her fingers together before saying the world "Release!" she yelled as the robots came crashing down on the street behind her. She breathe a sigh of relief after that. "Okay, that should be at least 28 points!" she said, running to another location.
"28 Points?!" Izuku thought, shockingly. "She's 10 points ahead of me!"
"Izuku, watch out!" A voice cause him to turn around, seeing a Two-Point Robot coming towards him. Itsuka appeared out of nowhere, using her Big Fist Qurik, by crushing the robot with both her hands. After that, her hands grew back to normal, running to the boy. "Are you okay?" she asked.
"I-I'm fine! Thanks!" he said, still shaking.
"There's so many robots to destroyed. These candidates are going all in using their Quirk to get as much points as they can." Itsuka said, looking around the carnage.
"How many you got so far?" Izuku asked.
"So far I gotten like 25 points. Been too easy so far." she said with a smile. "What about you? How much points you gotten?"
"18 points. I've been doing good so far. Still need to find more robots especially three-point robots." Izuku said.
"That's awesome." Itsuka said when her eyes caught on the emerald in his hands and it was glowing. "That's the object he had in his backpack during the Orientation. Why does he have it with him during the exam?" She thought, seeing the aura surrounding him. "The object's glowing inside of it and he has a green aura surround him. Where did he get that emerald from?"
Her thoughts were interrupted when she and Izuku heard an explosion near them. They saw Iida, using his Engine Quirk on his calves, to destroy a Two-Point Robot with his feet. "That puts me into 45 points!" he said.
"He has so many points!" Izuku said, looking at the Engine Quirk on his calves. "That speed he has. I wonder what its like when he compete with Sonic for that type of speed?"
"Izuku!" He mind came back to reality, noticing Itsuka was shaking his shoulders. "Look, don't pay attention to any of these people! Just focus around looking for robots! You need these points big time to pass! I love to help you but you got to believe in yourself! You want to go to U.A., believe in yourself! I know you can do it!" She said, with a determine face.
"O-Okay." he said, taking deep breaths. "I'll do my best."
"Hurry up! You're wasting time!" she said, running off to another direction. "Hopefully at the end of this exam, I can ask him about that emerald."
Izuku stood there, looking around to find more robots as the pressure was mounting more on him and the time was running quickly. 18 points wasn't enough. He needed more before the exam is over or he won't be going to U.A. "I have to hurry and find more robots or I'm done." He thought as he ran again throughout the city.
Back at U.A., inside an observation room in the academy, teachers and staff were sitting down, looking at the candidates in every Battle Centers. Much like Eggman watching the whole thing, which non of them doesn't know with the Egg Drones being hidden in the centers thanks to their cloaking device.
"Clearly, the examines have no idea how many villains are present or their locations." Nezu explained. "They have limited time. Must covered a vast area. And hunt down every last target." He sees both Iida, Yugo, Itsuka, and Bakugo destroying robots on screen. "Some use information gathering abilities to plan out strategies. While others rely on speed to pull ahead of their piers. Of course, remaining calm under pressure can be a huge advantage. And as for pure and full combat ability. The most successful students use a combination of all these tactics. Their the ones who rack up the highest scores."
"Hmm. I say that this year's group look's promising." a woman with a seductive tone said.
One of the teacher watching was Toshinori, who was in his skinny form. His eyes was more focus on Izuku, who was running throughout the city, panicking and all. His eyes that other teachers didn't see was the Chaos Emerald in his hand glowing. He look at the scoreboard on another screen, seeing his student at 18 points. It was a good start but needs more points and with time continuing to tick, the pressure was mounting.
"I see Midoriya is doing good so far. He only has 18 points and he's using the Chaos Emerald." Nezu said.
"That boy should be up by a ton of points. We gave him all that training for nothing." Vlad King said.
"Relax, there's still plenty of robots to be found. He's looking for more of the Three-Pointers which are the most important points he needs." Cementos said.
"He better hurry and find them. All the other candidates are all finding them and destroying them than he is." Ectoplasm said.
"Since we're talking about the boy, that gauntlet training you put him in. Why did you put me in that training?" the R-Rated Hero Midnight asked. Only for silence by all the other heroes including both Nezu and Toshinori. "Hey! I'm talking to everyone here!"
But there were reasons to it. Nezu didn't put her in because she'll quickly try to seduce Izuku since he personally was a nervous and timid boy. "Anyway, shall we make the exam a little harder?" the Principal asked, changing subjects quickly.
"Indeed. Since we have enough time. The real test is yet to come." Toshinori said, pushing a red button in front of him. "Let's see how they react."
Back in the Battle Center, candidates all stopped their attacks on the robots when they heard the ground shake, thinking its an Earthquake happening. Large smoke of debris appears in front of them. Izuku look around to see the place shaking. Then a large shadow appeared as the boy look up to see a large robot looking at them. It was the Zero-Point Robot, which is largest out of the three other robots. From Present Mic's voice earlier in the Orientation, this robot was just zero points so it didn't count to be destroyed as part of the exam.
"Isn't this horrible extreme?" Izuku thought, nervously with his entire body shaking.
Suddenly, the glowing in the Chaos Emerald disappeared and the blue aura around his body is gone at the same time. Izuku notice it. "W-What happened to the emerald? Its not glowing no more. All the energy inside me is gone." He thought when something came up to his head.
Flashback
The day Sonic and Tails were leaving for Earth, they gave the Chaos Emerald to Izuku while he gave them his All Might action figure. Tails told Izuku about how the gain control of the Emerald to use for his dream to become a hero. There was one thing that the fox cub brought up.
"If you use too much of the emerald throughout, it will be drained off its powers and likely have to wait a couple of days for it to regain its energy." Tails said.
"Seriously?" Izuku asked, looking at the emerald.
"That kind of energy will be hard for it to get back. So don't try to use to much of it." Tails said.
The Zero-Point Robot use its big fist to smash on the ground, creating a big impact wind of smoke. Windows on the buildings shattered throughout. Izuku covered his eyes with his arms to not get any dust in his eyes. The other candidates appeared from the fog, making a run for it. Iida caught a glimpse of Izuku, sitting on the ground, before running past him. The boy sat there, scarred as hell with tears in his eyes. The robot was getting closer to him. Instead of running, he dragged himself.
"Faster. I gotta run and find some small villain." he said, dragging himself. "Crap, crap, crap! I'm still at 7 points!"
"Let's than 2 minutes remaining!" Present's Mic voice was heard.
"What?! Two minutes?!" Izuku asked, hearing the time was about to run out for him. Pressure was mounting more for the boy. Not only he was stuck at 7 points and two minutes remaining on the exam, but the Chaos Emerald he had has been drained from its energy. It just made more difficult for Izuku. "The emerald ain't working all that power I use throughout the training with All Might. I'm in big trouble!"
In the observation room, All Might sees the candidates running from their lives away from the Zero-Point Robot. He saw Izuku dragging himself away from it. But his eyes caught on the Chaos Emerald not glowing anymore.
"What happened to the emerald? Its not glowing anymore. This is not good and with the Zero-Point Robot in the city, it just difficult for Midoriya." He thought, looking back at the clock again. "Damn it. The Quirk inside his body should be active by now. He has to hurry or its over."
Back on the Death Egg, Eggman and his minions except for Snively, laughed at the candidates running for their lives from the Zero-Point Robot. "Are you serious? They all want to be heroes, instead they want run for their lives not going against that? What a bunch of cowards. Hell, I would have my Great Eggman Robo destroyed that robot within seconds." he said.
"I guess they weren't cut of to be heroes all of a sudden. Cowards!" Scratch said, yelling at the screen before turning back to the Chaos Emerald Radar. "Uh,… boss."
"What is it?" Eggman asked, stopping his laughter.
"Energy from the Chaos Emerald is not picking up no more on radar." the Chicken Badnik said.
"Find that Izuku boy." Eggman ordered as Orbot type in a couple of buttons. The screen in front of them cuts to another camera angle from another drone showing Izuku dragging himself away from the giant robot. The drone zoom in to where the Chaos Emerald was black instead of blue color. "No wonder. The Chaos Emerald has lost all its energy."
"Seems that after using all that energy from the training through 10 months has gone away. Now in this exam with a giant robot behind him, it spells trouble for the boy." Snively said.
"What now, boss since the emerald is out of energy?" Cubot asked.
"Let's see what it play outs. If I remember earlier at the beach, we saw All Might gave that boy a piece of his hair and told him to put it in his mouth. That made me puke by the way. That big ape said that giving him his powers to him. I haven't seen any actvity from it since then. But the way its going on this, this boy is in trouble." Eggman explained.
"So we're just gonna watch?" Snively asked.
"Indeed. Until then, enjoy the show. Anything can happen." Eggman said, grabbing a bucket of popcorn, watching the action on screen.
Back at the Battle Center, everyone ran away from the Zero-Point Robot. Izuku dragged himself in panic mode. Pressure mounted big time because he already has 7 points and time was running on him. Even worst, the Chaos Emerald in his hand turn black, signaling the energy was all use up. It was now putting Izuku in a difficult spot and the way its going, he was on the verge of failing this test.
"Ow!" Izuku stopped dragging himself when he heard another voice. Turning around, he saw Uraraka on the ground with her right leg pinned by the debris as she desperately tried to pull herself out with the robot coming towards him.
Izuku face froze in terror seeing the girl he met earlier in grave danger. He didn't know what to do. If the Chaos Emerald was working right now, he probably would've jumped in and save her. And make matters worst, the other candidates ran off in panic, didn't pay attention to the girl that they didn't see on the ground. The boy could only stand there seeing the robot getting closer, doesn't know what to do or how to help.
"Are you okay?" Izuku's mind snapped when he saw Itsuka running towards Uraraka.
"Itsuka? Is she gonna save her?" He thought in a panic tone. "She has to hurry! The robot's getting closer!"
Itsuka stopped next to Uraraka as the girl look up at the Big Fist Quirk user. "You're that girl from earlier! Please, my leg is pinned by the debris! I can't get out!" Ochako yelled, still trying to pull her right leg out but no prevail.
"Hang on! I'll get you out!" Itsuka raise her right fist where it grew bigger. Pretending like its a shovel, she use her big hand, scooping the debris off of Uraraka's Right Leg. She threw the debris to the right, hitting a window to a building. Uraraka got up but her right leg was limping. Itsuka's fist grew back to its normal size, putting the girl's arm around her, helping her stand. "Are you okay? Can you walk?"
"I-I'm fine but my leg is limping." Ochako replied as Itsuka turn around to see the robot coming close to them.
"Let's get out of here!" Itsuka carries Uraraka to the others.
"She did it! She got her out of there! Thank God!" Izuku thought, breathing a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, the Zero-Point Robot use is big arm, swinging to a big high rise building, cutting in half. The top building was coming down and it about to go down on both Itsuka and Uraraka. Both girls heard something, looking up to see a building coming down on them. They were panic and scare of their fate that was about to come.
The world turn slow for Izuku. His eyes grew wide in horror, seeing the building coming down towards both girls in front. Nobody was coming to save them. He was the only one looking on. But suddenly, a flash of light appeared of nowhere, causing his closed to closed and using his arms to shield the light from it. Took a couple of seconds for the light to die down. He move his arm and open his eyes, noticing the entire world froze. The piece of building that was about to crush both girls but froze including the robot that was moving as well.
"E-Everything f-froze? W-What just h-happened?" He asked when he felt something hit his left hand. He saw the Chaos Emerald empty from his hand. "The Chaos Emerald is gone!"
"Relax. I have it with me." Izuku turn to see non other than Pachacamac with the Chaos Emerald in his hand.
"Its you again. U-Uh, what's happening? Everything froze except us." He said.
"I use Chaos Control to freeze time. Should've thought of that in the first place. But of course you didn't had a chance to use it because of the emerald turning to black." the Mystic Chief answered, examining the emerald. "You used the emerald too much. All that training for the past 10 months you use the emerald too much and now all the power's drain thanks to you."
"That's not good. I know Tails warn me about it but can you do something? Can you gain power to it?" Izuku asked.
"I can gain the power of the emerald back in it. However, this will be the last time that it will happen." Pachacamac said, using the tip of the spear to touch the emerald.
Once that happen, the emerald turn from black to its original green color, gaining the power back to life. He gave the emerald back to Izuku where the boy could feel this strong power gaining from it and spreading around his body. "N-No way. I-I could feel it stronger than ever." He said.
"As I mention again, this is the last time I'll help you out gaining the emerald powers back. But there is a way you can gain it back without my help." Pachacamac said.
"R-Really?" Izuku asked.
"I'll give you a hint… there's a Floating Island that holds the an old ruins. Its coming to Earth. I could feel its presence from a long way." the Mystic Chief said.
"F-Floating I-Island? C-Coming to E-Earth? Izuku asked, stuttering.
"You'll found out soon once it gets here. In the meantime, you got an exam to finish. Now hurry before those humans are dead." Pachacamac said, referring to Uraraka and Itsuka before walking off into the green portal.
"H-Hey, wait..." Izuku said but it was too late. The portal was long gone and time begin to unfreeze to where it left off. The boy heard screams as he turn to see both girls look up in terror. The big piece of building was coming down on them. His right hand grew a fist where the emerald light up a ton of powers inside his body. He quickly ran towards them. Filed with adrenaline, he felt something powering up inside his body. His legs grew with red lines on him. Then, he jumped in the air, clearing the smoke and cutting threw the building was coming towards the ground. The building itself was destroyed into tiny pieces.
Both Itsuka and Uraraka look up in shocked to see Izuku floating in the air. He was going for the big blow with his right fist. His arm light up with red lines mix with the emerald powers around it. The power of One For All finally activates. Delivering a big punch at the face of the Giant Robot. The punch made a big dent at the robot's face, sending it backwards while exploding and crashing to the ground at the same time.
The girls along with Iida and the candidates were shocked to see what Izuku just did.
In the Observation Room, the teachers had the same expressions as the candidates were. Principal Nezu jumped in joy after seeing the attack. All Might sat there with a smile on his face. "That's right. Show them who you are. Embodied of what it means to be a hero." He thought. "Nothing is noble… than self sacrifice!"
In the Death Egg, Eggman, Snively, and the minions all stood with a shock face. Witnessing Izuku use All Might's Quirk to destroy the robot. "Impossible." Eggman said. "H-How did that kid destroy it with just one punch?"
"He had to use All Might's Powers. Because it was same kind of punch he use when destroyed that villain at the Shopping District ten months ago." Snively said.
"Nobody should have that kind of power. That's just impossible." Orbot said.
"That was awesome. That kid can hit with on-" Bocoe was interrupted when Eggman swung a wretch at his head, hitting him.
"What did All Might gave that boy? Is that his power?" Eggman thought.
"Just one minute left!" Present Mic's voice was heard again.
Izuku was in deep thought, seeing the robot down in the street. But the hero's voice was heard, causing him to get back in reality. He notice that he was in the sky and was about to fall down to the street. His face went from anger, back to panic mode. "O-Okay. I jumped using One For All. So, maybe I can use it to get down too." He thought until he thought of something. "I totally forgot. Chaos Control. Why I'm panicking for? Stupid Izuku."
The emerald read his thoughts, creating a bright light around him. One second he was gone from the air. The next the light appeared on the street near both girls. Uraraka and Itsuka saw Izuku appeared on the street. The boy look to see the girls looking at him. "At least their safe… I… need… a nap..." Izuku faints to the ground. The green aura disappears around his body and the light inside the emerald dimmed.
"Izuku!" Itsuka yelled as she and Uraraka ran up to the boy.
"We need medical attention for him!" Ochako yelled.
"Time's up!" Present Mic's voice was heard as the siren echo through the Battle Center.
The Exam has come to an end. Bad thing is that Izuku had tears come from his eyes. He finished with 18 points. Failing to get other points he needed. He lays there unconscious with both girls at his side, trying to wake him up. Other candidates look at the boy, talking about the attack on the giant robot. But they think he still did it with luck. But for Iida, he knows something about Izuku and what he did throughout.
"There all missing the point. Don't they see what he did." Iida thought, looking at both girls in between Izuku's body. "He sacrifice everything. Just to save both girls' lives. He must've known that little time was left and how many points he needed to pass. He was putting his life on the line. But despite those concerns, he didn't hesitate to jump." He clinch both fist where his body was shaking. "If this wasn't an exam, I would've done the same thing." But his mind caught up when his eyes saw the emerald on the ground next to Izuku's body. "What's that? Did he had that thing the whole time?"
Meanwhile, Itsuka grabbed the emerald from the ground, seeing it all green and colored. The light inside was gone as she examines it. Ochako saw it as she look at it. "Is that an emerald? Did he had it throughout this exam?" she asked.
"He did. It was so weird. Throughout the exam, I had a chance to see how he was doing. He held that emerald in his hand." Itsuka explained, looking at the emerald. "It had a bright light inside and a green aura surrounding him. I wonder why he brought this with him? I saw this in his backpack once the orientation ended. Its amazing."
"Do you know where he got it?" Ochako asked.
"I'm not sure. Maybe when he wakes up, I'll ask him about it." Itsuka said.
Suddenly, a hand out of nowhere snatched the emerald away from her hand. Both girls flinched when they turn around see Recovery Girl appeared next to them with the emerald. "Sorry I didn't mean to scare you. But the object belongs to this boy. I'll hang on to it for safekeeping." She said as paramedic bots arrived with a stretcher, placing Izuku on it and leaving the Battle Center.
"Excuse me. Do you know anything about the emerald?" Itsuka asked Recovery Girl.
"I agree. We never seen a power like that in a while." Ochako said.
"Sorry but… that's classified information and that's all you will know. In the meantime, you'll get the results of your exam in the mail the next week. Be on the look out for that." Recovery Girl said before walking off.
"What did she mean Classfied Information?" Ochako asked.
"I'm not sure. I wonder if this academy knows something that we don't know." Itsuka said.
While Recovery Girl walked off, Iida heard the conversation and he was very interested about the emerald as well."Classifed Information? I wonder why she would say that about the emerald the guy had? Maybe I need to ask him about it." He thought.
In the observation room, both Toshinori and Nezu breath a sigh of relief. The Principal quickly ordered Recovery Girl to get both Izuku and the emerald away from the Battle Center. They knew they heard both girls were talking about the emerald. Many of the candidates saw what it could do but they determined to keep this Top Secret for the time being until the start of the U.A. School Year begins.
"That was close. Good thing I ordered her to get it away before those girls ask anymore questions." Nezu said.
"Exactly. I order the other staff to escort the candidates out as well." Toshinori said. "By the way, he finally use the big One for All Punch as we expected. And his right arm didn't break thanks to the protection of the Chaos Emerald. However, he finished the exam with only 18 points. That's not good."
"There is another way he can pass the exam." Nezu said.
"What you mean?" Toshinori asked.
"Trust me. I know a way." Nezu said.
Back aboard the Death Egg, Eggman has ordered all Egg Drones to return the base for the day. They recorded all the information of the exams throughout. Plus got a map of the entire U.A. High School Perimeter they had. But they big one they got was the scene of Izuku using One For All to punch the robot and Recovery Girl talking with the students about the Chaos Emerald, thought the real information she didn't bring out
"Have all the Egg Drones return to base. Our job is done for now. We pretty much have every information we needed." Eggman said, leaning back on his chair.
"Yes, boss." Orbot said, typing in a couple buttons.
"We did heard from the elder woman that the emerald was classified information. Trying to get it away from the public to not noticing anything about." Snively said.
"Indeed, Perhaps she saw one of the candidates holding on to the Chaos Emerald. If I notice, it the same girl that Izuku met 5 months ago. Recovery Girl want it the emerald. Didn't want to bring out any information on it until the time would come." Eggman explained. "As long as she didn't bring it out, I'm fine with it until we make our move."
"So what now?" Snively asked.
"For now, will continue our regular mission of surveying the city with the drones. Depends on Izuku made it the academy, will be continuing to keep a close eye on him when he got a letter that he was accepted." Eggman said.
"Very well." Snively said.
Back on Mobius, Sonic told them the entire story of him giving the Chaos Emerald to Izuku when they were on Earth 10 years ago. The girls mostly cried about the story. Knuckles took a deep breath but was a little angry of what Sonic did and mostly lied about the Chaos Emerald. The other members look at one another confused and all.
The others were shocked. "So after 10 years, you gave the Chaos Emerald to a human?" Cream asked.
"Chao." Cheese said.
"To let him become a hero." Sonic said, looking at the window. "I made a promise to Izuku I would come back and see him again. Now, with Dr. Eggman launching his plans moving forward, Izuku could be a grave danger and with having the emerald. Its just gotten worst."
"I knew this was a dangerous thing. We expect it was coming." Tails said.
"But why hold this for 10 years? You should've told us all this at the time. But you had to tell us at the time Eggman is at Earth." Knuckles said.
"We didn't think Eggman would leave this planet, quietly, thinking he would sneak out from us in the night. But he was so careless, he didn't delete the data of his plans." Tails said.
"Data and information?" Sonic asked.
"Remember when we were at his base, I manage to transfer all the data and information of Operation Starseed to my Miles Electric." Tails said, pulling out his device. "I can transfer to the Blue Typhoon once we lift off."
"What a second. What do you mean lift off?" Sliver asked.
"What I'm saying is…" the hedgehog turn to his friends with a determine face. "We're leaving for Earth today to stop Eggman and his attack. And rescuing Izuku at all cost!"
"WHAT?!" the other except for Shadow, shockingly.
"You have to be kidding me, Sonic. You know how many miles its gonna take to get to the planet?" Espio asked.
"I know that. But I'm not gonna seat here and let Egghead go after a planet that could have many humans in grave danger from him." the hedgehog said. "Especially, Izuku. Like I said, I made a promise to see him again and rescue him from Egghead. I'm not gonna break that promise one way or another. And I won't let Eggman get near him when I'm there."
Everyone stood silence, looking at one another thinking how risky it would be going all the way to Earth. "But, Mr. Sonic." the others turn to Cream and Cheese, approaching towards the Blue Hedgehog with a sad face. "I know this is a serious mission and what Eggman is gonna do with those poor humans is sad. But if we head for Earth, it means that we're gonna be leaving our home planet for good and I'm not see my mother again anytime soon until its over. We're gonna to miss all of our friends here." The rabbit begins having tears coming out from her eyes as Cheese did the same thing.
Sonic could only look at his friend with a sad face. While she cried quietly, he look up at the others and they were feeling the same way Cream was. The hedgehog understand the whole situation. It means leaving this planet, saying goodbye to everyone. Sonic look down towards cream, patting her softly on her head. "You're right, Cream. Its a tough thing to do and leave our planet for another. I don't want to go either… but I can't let Eggman go after another planet." the hedgehog look back at the others with determination. "Look, we've been through hell and back with Eggman in the past. We manage to beat him all the time. All the adventures we've been through were tough. But this one is perhaps the toughest one we've ever faced. Besides, I always want to get a chance to go to another where humans with unknown powers that we can experience. I'm not sure what to expect there, but this could be the adventure of a lifetime. And we're not gonna let Eggman win this battle. We will win at the end. Its gonna be tough, but we can do it. So who's with me?"
"I've been with you for many years, Sonic. No way I won't let you go alone." Tails said, signaling his approval.
"Count me in. Can't afford to leave my Sonic out of this." Amy said.
"You're gonna need all the help you can get." Espio said.
"Don't forget about this bumble bee." Charmy Bee said.
"Its gonna be tough. But I can't say no for an answer." Blaze said.
"Omega E-123 ready to action." the robot said, raising his fist in the air.
"Can't let Eggman rule the world. Let's do it." Silver said.
"Ready to get some action in me." Vector said.
Knuckles glared at Sonic. But Rouge kick his head with her leg. He rubbed his head, looking at the bat before going back at Sonic. "Look, I don't agree to give the Chaos Emerald to that boy you mentioned. Should've told us a long time ago. But I understand why you gave it to him. Either way, I'm not gonna stand by seeing Eggman go after a boy with the emerald." The echidna gave him a smile.
"Thanks, Knux." Sonic said.
"Can't stand around either. Looking forward to this adventure." Rogue said.
The hedgehog could only grin, seeing his friends changing their minds to be part of this mission. He look down to both Cream and Cheese, wiping their tears away. "You guys don't have to be part of this if you want. You can stay here on this planet and be wishing us the best of luck with our mission." he said.
"Mr. Sonic, like I said earlier. I don't want to leave this planet and my mother behind..." the rabbit said when her sad face form to a determine one. "But I won't let Eggman take over another planet or trying to capture your human friend. I'm coming with you."
"Chao." Cheese said.
"Thank you, guys. I knew I can count on everyone. We got a long trip ahead of us. We must prep everything we can for this big mission. The moment we beat Eggman and rescue Izuku, the moment we come home as heroes. Let's do this!" Sonic yelled, raising his fist in the air.
"YEAH!" the others except for Shadow, who only smile, did the same.
Sonic look to see Shadow gave him a smile. Both nod their heads together. "All right then, gather everyone on the island to see us give a send off. Gonna be a long trip for sure. Make sure you have some of the stuff you guys need." Sonic said.
With that, the meeting was over and everyone left the Sonic's Home to return to their place to pack for the adventure they were about to embark.
"You did the right thing, Sonic. Even though it was a little years late behind." Tails said.
"Yeah I guess you're right. Anyway, we need to start prepping, Gonna be a long journey for sure." Sonic said.
Suddenly, the front door open as faster than a speeding missile. Sonic and Tails turn to see Sir Charles at the doorway. But he wasn't alone. Three people were behind him and that gotten attention of both the hedgehog and the fox cub. Their face turn to shock.
The first person is an anthropomorphic coyote with brown fur with pale yellow fur on his front torso, muzzle and cheek turfs, blue, eyes and short, neatly combed blonde hair on his head. His was dressed with red boots, arm cuffs, and two sword straps that connect on his chest, forming a "X"- shape. Belt colored red and white, with a gray buckle connecting the strap, and white-colored gloves and leg cuffs.
The second person is an anthropomorphic golden rabbit with pale yellow fur, white muzzle, and vibrant emerald-green eyes. Her eyelids are violet or pink, her right ear is flopped. Her hair, starting off as a tuft of bangs on the back of her neck and forehead. Her appearance shows cyborg limbs thanks to her roboticization, with her left arm and lower torso from the waste being cybernetic,
The third person is an anthropomorphic walrus. He has violet fur with darker toes and fingers, peach skin on his torso and muzzle, large tusks, and green eyes. His wore black and white shoes with yellow socks, yellow gloves, and yellow goggles. He also wore his signature green tool-belt across his shoulders.
"No way! Antoine, Bunnie, and Rotor? I can't believe its you guys! Its been a while! What are y'all doing here?" Sonic asked in a shocking tone.
"Sorry for the reunion, but we have other problems at hand. I'm just gonna say it now… its gone." Charles said.
Both Sonic and Tails look at one another before turning back to Uncle Chuck with confused faces. "What's gone?" Tails asked.
"Angel Island… is no longer on this planet." Uncle Chuck answered.
Somewhere in space, a big piece of a floating island was moving slowly to its new destination… that destination… is Earth.
End of Chapter Nine- Part Two
Author's Note: Well that's it. Another chapter is done and the two part of the same chapter is done. We finally exit from the exam and now the results coming up in the next chapter. Like I said, I did promise I was gonna post a new chapter today and I did.
So you guys saw the twist. That's right. Angel Island is coming to Earth and we're gonna relieve everything in the future with Sonic & Knuckles all over again. From Mushroom Hill Zone, Carnival Night, Marble Zone, and perhaps my favorite Sky Sanctuary. Eggman does have a base there on the island so when maybe when Eggman reveals himself after the USJ Incident, perhaps I'll move the Death Egg from space to the Island. Stay tuned for that and it'll likely be the site of more training for Izuku as well.
Also the three characters from Sonic the Hedgehog 1993 series made their apperance. It was a little cameo part but they'll be appearing more in the next chapter soon. Will they be part of the action? Don't know but it would be nice to have the past Freedom Fighters teaming with the current ones for this battle up ahead. I'll think about it
Finally, if you guys don't know it was a big night for My Hero Academia and its fan base. Last night at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards. It swept through everything. Winning Best Boy (Izuku Midoriya) Winning Best Voice Actor (Christopher Sabat as All Might), Winning Best Fight Scene (All Might vs All for One), Winning Best Antagonist (All for One), and Winning Best Film (MHA: Two Heroes).
