Chapter Seventeen: Battles in Earth and Space
[Music: World Map Theme from Sonic Colors]
In space, near the Moon, the Warp Field Driver appeared as the Blue Typhoon exit out of the ring as a slingshot. The ring disappeared, deactivating the field driver. The ship moves towards past the moon in a normal way, heading towards their destination… the Planet Earth. Inside the ship, the Freedom Fighters stood in the bridge where they can see the planet in front of them. After weeks of traveling through space, they were excited that the journey was over. Their destination was right in front of them. For Sonic and Tails, they couldn't wait to see their best friend they haven't seen in ten years. The wait was almost over.
"There it is. The Planet Earth." Tails said, controlling the ship.
"So that's the Earth? Almost looks like Mobius." Espio said.
"It's a nice planet. I wonder if anybody's friendly on the planet." Cream said
"Chao." Cheese said, siting on the rabbit's shoulder.
"I believe we could see friends. Won't be like on Mobius where anthropomorphic live. This planet is home to humans we've never seen before. But of course, Sonic and Tails met that human child they gave the Chaos Emerald to." Amy said.
"I'm looking forward to meeting that child. Wonder what he looks like now after ten years?" Charmy asked.
"Not sure. But since he's 14 years old, he's grown just like Sonic and I. Trust me, you guys will meet him soon. He's a nice kid." Tails said.
"If he that's nice, then we can't wait to see him." Vector said.
"Trust me, you're gonna like him when we let him meet you guys." Tails said, looking on the hologram map of Earth. A red dot blink on the location of where they will land in Japan. "I mark the location of where we're gonna land the ship at. An old airfield Sonic and I call it our home base. It's located outside the city with a runway stretching towards the sea. It's an awesome view that goes along with the sunset. You guys will love it. Of course, once we landed, will do some things around the airfield. Perhaps do some fixing since it will be on temporary home for the mission."
Sonic arrived at the bridge. He look to see the planet Earth from the window. With a smile on his face, he press his hand on the window. "We've finally made it. Can't wait see Izuku in such a long time. I kept my promise to see you again. It's almost that time for the reunion to come." He thought before looking back at the others. "Tails, you got the location for our landing point?"
"Already set. Once we enter the atmosphere, I'll activate the cloaking device around the ship. That way, people on Earth don't be scarred of seeing our ship floating in the sky." the fox cub said.
"All right, buddy. Everyone, it's time for Earth to roll out the red carpet for the Freedom Fighters. Let's do this!" Sonic said, raising his fist.
"Yeah!" Everyone except for Shadow and E-123 Omega threw their fist in their air, excited.
[Music Ends]
Suddenly, the alarms and red lights came on. Everyone look around with confused face. Tails turn to his radar and an object coming towards the right side of the ship real fast. "Everyone, hold on! A mission is coming! I'm activating the shields! Brace for impact!" He yelled when the missile hit the right side of the ship. There was no damage because of the shields that Tails activated it. The ship shook like an Earthquake. Everyone hold on to either a railing or a seat. Cream and Cheese were afraid as Amy hugged them to keep them calm. Only took a couple of seconds for the violent shake to end.
"Where did that came from?" Silver asked, looking through the window. Blaze and Espio followed suit.
"I don't see nothing. Just empty space." Blaze said.
"Tails, do you see anything from the radar?" Sonic asked as the fox cub looks on screen.
"Nothing. I don't see anything on it." He said.
"Then who the hell shot that missile at us?" Knuckles asked, looking at the window.
Suddenly, the radar started beeping. Tails look on screen to see one dot appeared. Then another. Follow by five dots, then a ton of dots appears around them. "Uh,… guys. We got trouble on our hands." He said.
The others look at the window where multiple ships appeared out of nowhere. Surrounding them from everywhere. The others grew nervous. Though they have overcome the odds in the past. This one could be difficult.
"Where all these ships come from?" Charmy asked, getting nervous.
"They were using cloaking device to hide before they launch a mission at us. After that, they uncloak themselves to us. This is not good." Shadow said, looking around.
Sonic looks around at the ships around them. He look to see a logo on one of ships next to them. To him, it wasn't a surprise. He clinch his fist when he saw the logo. "I think we now know who's ships are these." He said, looking back at the front of the ship, when he saw another larger ship appearing from deactivating its cloaking device.
The others saw the ship appearing. It's "face" look to see the Blue Typhoon. The Death Egg also join in on the phase.
"Of all people… it would be him leading the attack." Espio said.
"Amy, take Cream and Cheese to safety. It gonna get real hot." Sonic said.
"Right. I'll be back in a little while. I'll warn the Lightning Bolt Society as well." She said, taking both the rabbit and the Chao away from the bridge.
"Incoming Transmission." a robotic tone was heard as Tails accepted it.
The screen in front of them came on, revealing non other than Dr. Eggman himself. "Well, well, well. My good old nemesis make a long journey to get to the planet. Only for me and the empire to block you're way." He said on screen.
"It's been a long time, Dr. Egghead. You had to be so desperate to try to get rid of me by going to another planet and create you're so called One World Government? Well, that's about to change since myself and the Freedom Fighters are here." Sonic said.
"So I see you found my plans in my base back on Mobius. Well, to tell you the truth. I'm glad you're here. Because the Opening Act is about to start. Don't worry, it's not the invasion I'm planning. That won't be until the time comes. For now, I have other plans to attend on the planet. Something that is very important to me. Until then, I'll see you get dispose by mine entire forces before you don't set one foot on the planet. " Eggman said.
Sonic notice someone on screen, behind Eggman. It was the Hero Killer. "Hey, Egghead? Who's tha-" It was too late once Eggman cut off the screen.
"What happened?" Tails asked.
"Right before Egghead turn the screen off, I saw somebody behind him. He those red eyes glowing. He was a human, too." Sonic said, shocking the others.
"Seriously? A human with Eggman?" Knuckles asked.
"That's what I think. Anyway, now it's not the time worry. Looks like we got our hands foot. Baldy Nose Hair has his forces blocking the way to Earth. I'm not gonna stand here and let him block our way. Time to fight fire with fire." Sonic said.
"Agree. Silver, Shadow, head to the runway and prep for takeoff. You can use your Telekinesis powers to create an opening by moving all those ships. Sonic can give you cover by destroying a couple of ships that'll try to attack us. The crew here can use the laser cannons to shoot down any Eggman Fleet Fighters flying to attack us. Will give you any covering fire we can while I keep controlling the ship and move faster towards Earth. We're not gonna let Eggman get in our way of going to Earth. It he wants a fight, then let's give it to him." Tails said.
"All right. Get the Power Cannon ready to fire. We're gonna blast through the fleet with one shot." Sonic said as he, Shadow, and Silver exit from the bridge.
"Everyone, strap in. It's about to get bumpy." Tails said.
Back on the Death Egg, multiple Fleet Fighters were taking off from the runway. Other Fleet Fighters from other ship follow suit. Egg Robos, Egg Fighters, Egg Gunners, and Egg Pawns were running in to a couple of capsules. Once they were in, the capsules were moved to Eggman's Flagship. The same ship that Eggman and his minions arrived after they left Mobius. Other workers were moving the Death Egg Robot to the ship for the doctor as they prepping for their move towards U.A.
"Sir, all of the ships has been ordered get the Fleet Fighters in bound to attack the Freedom Fighters as we speak. Other ships will try to take it down when the attack begins." Snively said.
"Good. Make sure you give me covering fire once I exit from the hanger. Any updates from the USJ?" Eggman asked as Snively look up on screen on the wall, showing more villains exiting from the portal. He eyes caught the big humanoid creature, standing next to Shigaraki. "Oh, my word… Sir, look on screen."
Eggman look up to see the humanoid creature. He was surprise by it's appearance. "Is that their weapons? That monster has a brain on his head." He said as the minions saw it as well.
"No way! That's one scary creature." Coconuts said.
"Is that one of theirs?" Scratch asked.
"Wonder what it will do against the students?" Grounder asked.
"Boss, do you think you'll encounter that against your robots?" Orbot asked.
"So what if they have a creature like that? I'll make sure to take it down and robotized it myself after I take down those good for nothing that wants to get in my business. Make sure my robot is in my ship. We're wasting time here." Eggman said, clinching his fist with his eyes on Shigaraki. Still remembering the words that's making him angry. "Don't worry, you good for nothing. I'll make sure that I'll wipe that smile off your face once I arrive. Will see who'll be doing the talking once I win."
Meanwhile, the Hero Killer stood there with his arms cross. Not panicking and all. He's mind was focusing on Sonic on screen just now. "I wonder if Eggman knows about that hedgehog? Guess he'll be worthy opponent when we meet." He thought.
As the battle was about to begin in space, back at U.A., inside the USJ Building, another battle was about to begin. Students of Class 1-A and Class 1-B were preparing to take part in a joint Rescue Training. Only for that be derailed by Villains, who came through from Kurogirl's Portal, make their presence known. Shigaraki stood out from the portal along with a humanoid creature who is a stronger as anyone never seen before. Both Aizawa and Vlad King were ready to fight them while Thirteen was told to protect both classes. Izuku was eager to help but was told, along with the students not to interfere, especially when the rules applied to them to no student don't use their Quirks.
"The only Real Heroes I see are Thirteen, Eraserhead, and Vlad King; Perplexing. According to the schedule you retrieve from U.A., All Might should be here as well." Kurogirl said.
"So you're the scumbags that use the Press as cover to sneak in to the campus." Aizawa said.
"Figures. I suspect it was them since the media don't have Quirks to break through a barrier." the Blood Hero said.
Students from both classes were stunned by that statement. Including Itsuka, who gave a theory to both Izuku, Momo, Uraraka, Iida, Tetsutetsu, Mina, Hagakure, Setsuna, and Yui, that it wasn't the media's destroying the barrier. She was right all along.
"Kendo, you heard that? It was them all along that sneak in to the campus. You were right all along." Tetsutetsu said.
"That's what I had that bad feeling early.." She said, looking at the other villains walking towards them.
"Where is he?" Shigaraki asked in his evil tone. "I went all that trouble of bringing so many friends who are here to meet him. They want All Might. The Great Symbol of Peace. I can't believe he's not here." In his head, he came up with an idea. A deadly one. "Maybe if I could kill a couple of kids, he might come out and play."
"We gotta do something about this. We have to warn the building for backup." Awase said.
"Wait a minute. If the villains are here, then should the alarms be ringing like earlier?" Itsuka asked, looking around the dome.
"That's right. They should've been ringing like before." Momo said, turning to Space Hero. "Thirteen, why are the alarms going off?"
Everyone including Thirteen look around at the dome. Not one sound of the alarms triggered. It was curious to them. "Good question. I'm not sure." the hero said.
"Is the entire campus under attack? Or is this their only target?" Todoroki asked. "Either way, if the alarms sensors aren't being triggered, then one of these villains must have a Quirk that's masking their presence here. They carefully chose this isolated facility as an entry point at the time where class has been taught. They're fools for trespassing here. But they thought this out. Whatever a plan they must have a concrete objective in mind. But what is it?"
Both classes flinched after that comment. They don't have a clue about it but the villains had one… to kill All Might.
"Izuku, can you hear me?" the boy heard a voice in his head.
"Pachacamac, is that you?" He asked.
"It is me. Listen, I heard the man with the multiple hands around his body talked with that purplish figure. Their here to kill All Might." He answered.
Izuku shook in fear of what the Mystic Chief just said. "Y-Y-You can't be serious?" He asked.
"I'm very serious. They other answer I want to know is why they want to kill All Might. Either way, he's not here at the moment. But you're not out of the woods yet. They are planning to kill you and the rest of the students. I don't know want to say at the moment but you're gonna have to listen to your teacher. You can't use the Chaos Emerald for the time being. Can't engage in the fight. Let your teachers deal with them. I don't want you to get involved with the enemy. Especially that monstrous beast they got. I sense his strength and it more stronger than ever." the Mystic Chief said.
"W-W-What I'm suppose to do? What happens if the teachers fails?" Izuku asked, getting nervous.
"Just trust them. But if things does get more worst, I'll power up the Chaos Emerald and give a ton of strength to save your friends. But remember, don't use all of the powers or the emerald will turn black. Understand?" the Mystic Chief asked.
"I… I understand." Izuku said.
"I'll continue to hear your thoughts. Just be careful." Pachacamac said as Izuku return to the present.
"Thirteen, get the students out of there and alert the campus. Vlad King and I will handle them." Aizawa said when he realize something. "Actually, if they got the ability to block our sensors, then they might be jamming our regular communications." He turn to one of his students. "Kaminari, try using your Quirk to contact the school."
"Yes, sir." He said, using his earphone on the right ear.
"What are you two gonna do?" Izuku asked to both Aizawa and Vlad King. "You both can't fight them on your own. There too many of them, and even if you can both fight, you guys might not have a chance."
"I agree with Izuku. Don't do this, Vlad King." Itsuka said to her teacher.
"You can't be a pro without one trick." Aizawa said.
"Don't worry, Kendo. Will be fine. You just need to worry about the rest of the class. You're the Class Rep. So start acting like one." the Blood Hero said.
"Thirteen, will leave the rest to you. Let's go, Vlad King." Aizawa said as he jumped forward to attack.
"Right behind you." the Blood Hero said, jumping in to the fight.
Aizawa charges toward three villains. One of them use his fingers as gun barrels to shoot. He was about to shoot him when Aizawa use Quirk by erasing him and along the other two's Quirks. They were now defenseless. The Eraser Hero use Capturing Weapon by wrapping three villains at once, then using the cloth to swing at them, colliding and knocking them out cold.
Another villain with four arms charge towards Aizawa. Only for Vlad King to jump in the action. Using his enchanted speed, the Blood Hero launch a punch to the villain's face, sending him flying towards the dome roof. The Blood Hero use his Blood Control Quirk by ejecting his blood from his gloves, pinning the villain on the dome roof, preventing the villain from escaping it thanks to the blood getting harded in seconds.
"Thanks. Keep them busy." the Eraser Hero said where another villain try to blind side him with a punch from behind. But Aizawa ducked below, avoiding the punch. He use his left foot, kicking the villain in the face.
Three more villains tries to attack the Hero from behind. But Vlad King return to the ground, slamming the three with his left fist. He using his Quirk again to let the blood harden on them, preventing them from getting off the ground. The Blood Hero stood near Aizawa where they look to see more villains surrounding them..
"Looks like the people that brought in nothing weak villains. We're got the easy part so far." Vlad King said.
"For now. Take a look up ahead." Aizawa said as he and the Blood Hero look to see both Shigaraki and the humanoid staring at them. "I'm surprise they're not getting in on the action. Unless their watching us to see our Quirks."
"Or they using these weaklings to tired us out when those two make their moves on us." Vlad King said.
"That's exactly what they're doing. Let's deal with these thugs first. You can use your Quirk to pinned them to the ground. We should be done within minutes. After that, will deal with those two. I'll deal with the one with the hands around his body. You can deal the muscular figure." Aizawa said.
"That's fine by me." the Blood Hero said when he notice something wasn't right. "Wait a minute. Was their suppose to be a third person with them?"
Aizawa notice he didn't see Kurogirl with both Shigaraki and the humanoid figure with them. "You're right. He not there… unless..." He realize it quickly when he turn back to the steps where both classes were at. "Oh no. He's heading for the students! We were so distracted with this, we didn't realize it until now!"
"THIRTEEN! THE THIRD VILLAIN IS HEADING FOR YOUR DIRECTION! GET THE STUDENTS TO THE EXIT NOW!" Vlad King yelled.
Back at the steps, Thirteen escorted both Class 1-A and Class 1-B to the exits. Izuku stayed to see the action between the Heroes and the Villains. He was so distracted, he didn't notice the class were running. Momo turn her head to see the boy standing there.
"Izuku! Hurry or you're gonna get left behind!" She yelled as Iida turn around.
"Don't worry about the teachers! They're been fine! Just hurry up and run!" He yelled.
The boy turn around, hearing both screams from his two friends. "Right! I'm coming!" He yelled, running to catch up with the classes.
Both classes were nearing the exit until Kurogirl appeared from bellow, exiting from his portal, blocking the students chance at escaping. "There is no escape from you." the Portal Quirk user said.
"Damn it." Aizawa thought, looking back at the steps.
"Let's hurry and help Thirteen rescue the students!" Vlad King said but other villains blocked their path to the steps.
Thirteen got in between both classes, trying to protect them from Kurogirl as they shook in terror at the villain in front of them. "It's a pleasure to meet you. We are the League of Villains. I know it's impolite, but we decided to invite ourselves to this haven of justice to say hello." He said with an evil tone that made both classes chills up their spines. "Besides, isn't this a fitting place for All Might, the Symbol of Peace to take his last breath?"
Izuku had that angry look on his face. He left hand was ready to pull the Chaos Emerald out to help this students. But the Mystic Chief inside forbid him to do anything unless it gotten serious. Both Bakugo, Kirishima, Tetsutetsu, and Awase had serious looks on their face, ready to engine with the villain.
"I believe he was suppose to be here today and yet I see no signs. But there seems to be some sort of change of plans we can't not foreseen. Well, in the end, I don't suppose it doesn't matter." Kurogirl said, opening his arms. He doesn't know that Thirteen was about to surprise him with the Black Hole Quirk. "I still have a roll to play."
Thirteen was about to use the Quirk until out of nowhere, surprise the hero and the classes. Both Bakugo, Kirishima, Tetsutetsu, and Awase, jumped in to attack the villain. Both boys use their Quirks on the villain, thinking they got him.
"Did you think we were going to stand around and let you tear this place into shreds?" the Harden Quirk user asked.
"He didn't see that coming. I think we got him." Tetsutetsu said, with iron around his body.
Both classes covered this faces from all the smoke, mostly from Bakugo's Quirk. They waited for the smoke to clear as it did. Shockingly, Kurogirl was still standing there. That shock four boys that attacked him, thinking they finish him off.
"You live up to your school's reputation. But you should be more careful, children. Otherwise, someone might get hurt." He said.
"You four, get out of the way! Right now!" Thirteen yelled, ready to use the Quirk.
"I'll scattered everyone across this facility. To meet my comrades. And you're death!" Kurogirl launch a large purplish fog around both classes, feeling a big force of wind on them.
"What the hell is this?" Awase asked, using his arm to cover his face while both Tetsutetsu, Bakugo, and Kirishima did the same
Iida jumped in to save both Uraraka and Rikado from the fog. Jurota did the save, saving both Pony Tsunotori and Reiko. Mezu to protect both Mina, Setsuna, Kinoko, and Hagakure. Kojiro saved both Yui, Reiko, and Kosei. The other students were still in the fog, about to be transported to somewhere. Other students that escaped, look on to their fellow classmates who was still inside as the fog turn into shape fog dome. Similar to the USJ domed roof.
"What's going on?" Iida asked.
"Our classmates are still in there! We gotta get them out!" Setsuna yelled.
"No! If we go in there, we could be teleporting with them as well." Jurota said.
"We're just gonna stand here and wait it out?" Mezo asked.
"We got no choice! Other wise, we don't know what to do." Jurota said as the students look down, not know what to do at this point as the students from inside were about to be teleported to different areas of the building.
Back in space, the battle begin where multiple Egg Fleet Fighters from either the Death Egg and the fleet of ships exit out of both of them for takeoff. Many of them making their way towards the Blue Typhoon. The ships aim their aim their cannons towards the ship, firing enough shells on it. But the shield was already activate thanks to Tails, preventing them from damaging the ship.
Inside the ship, it was shaking violently despite the shields activate. The Freedom Fighters were holding on to other things, preventing them to fall or had their heads hit to something or to each other. The radar beeped rapidly as Tails saw multiple Egg Fleet Fighters moving fast to their position. The fox cub ordered both Vector, Espio, Charmy, Rouge, Blaze, and Amy to use the laser cannons around the ship to shoot down the Fleet Fighters. They agree as they exit from the bridge.
In the hanger, both Shadow and Silver were ready for take off. They were waiting for the doors to open. Shadow has his air shoes to use for flying while Silver can use his Telekinesis for flying, plus a use them to control by moving objects.
"You ready for this?" Silver asked, activating his powers with a light blue aura surrounding his body.
"Where's Sonic?" Shadow asked, looking around for the blue hedgehog.
"He'll be joining us in a little while. Tails said he's gonna activate the Power for him to shoot through a ton of ships. That way he can create an opening for the Blue Typhoon get through towards Earth." Silver said when Tails' voice was heard on the speaker.
"Shadow, Silver, are you guys in the hanger?" He asked.
"We're ready to go. Just wasting for the doors to open." Silver said.
"The doors are opening. Once the fully open, you have permission to take off." Tails said as the doors were opening. Both hedgehog were ready to taste action.
Around the ship, Vector, Espio, Charmy, Blaze, Rouge, and Amy were entering one of the six doors that leads to the laser cannons. Once they enter their own doors, they sat in the seats where the chair slides by itself in the cockpit. The stick lift in front of them where the red trigger is on, giving control of the laser cannon. In front, a Head Up Display (HUD) appeared, giving the person a chance to lock on it's target nearby.
"Is everyone on their own laser cannon?" Tails asked from the radio.
"Everyone is on their own cannon." Amy said. "Rogue and Blaze are taking control of the cannons from the right. I'm taking control of them from the top."
"Espio and Charmy are controlling the cannons from the left and myself from the top." Vector said.
"I open the hanger doors for both Shadow and Silver so they can move in to the action. Give them covering fire while they take off." Tails said when a beeping sound on the radar was heard. He look to see two Fleet Fighters moving towards the runway. "We got two fighters moving in on the runway!" They're gonna try to shoot the hanger while the doors open! Shoot them down!"
"We're on it!" both Amy and Vector said as their aim their cannons towards the fighters with a rapid fire type. Didn't take but five seconds to destroy both fighters.
"Great job, guys! Silver, Shadow! Hurry and take off before they come back! Will cover you!" Tails yelled.
"Let's go, Shadow!" the Silver Hedgehog flew out from the hanger while Shadow using his shoes to skate straight towards the end of the runway, lifting off as the hedgehog are in combat.
"Everyone shoot down much of the Fleet Fighters as possible. I'm about to activate the Blast Cannon!" Tails said, changing to another radio. "Sonic, can you hear me?"
"Hear you loud and clear." the blue hedgehog said on radio.
"Stand by for the Blast Cannon to be activate. Hope you're ready?" Tails asked, pressing a couple of buttons.
"Buddy, I've been ready for some egg cracking." Sonic said as the fox cub laugh.
"I think we've been ready for this in a long time. Get inside the cannon once it's ready." He said.
"Right on." Sonic said.
Back on board the Death Egg, Eggman and his minions were back on the bridge waiting for the flagship to be re-fueled and get the Death Egg Robot ready to fit in. They were watching both events unfolding at the same time. On the first screen, it shows the fleet attacking the Blue Typhoon with everything they got. The second screen shows the battle inside USJ. Both Aizawa and Vlad King continue to engage the with the thugs while both Shigaraki and the humanoid figure looks on. They notice the fog shaped dome made by Kurogirl surrounding some of the students from both classes.
"What is that?" Cubot asked, pointing at the second screen.
"I'm not sure. Has to be that purple mist figure Quirk. But why is it shape as a dome?" Orbot asked.
"I notice there's students outside the dome." Scratch said, looking to see where Izuku's at "Hey, I don't see that Midoriya kid anywhere?"
"What?" Eggman asked, looking at the screen. "He's with the group outside. My guess he's inside the dome. What's going on in there?"
"Not sure. I did hear that Kurogirl person mention he's transporting them other places around the facility." Snively said.
"That's right. He has a Quirk to use for portals. That means he's gonna transport the students around the building. So that means Midoriya could be going elsewhere. But where?"
"Boss, those Freedom Fighters just launch both Silver and Shadow into space. They're coming for our position." Grounder said, showing another screen of the two hedgehogs flying.
"This is not good. Especially when you have with those two hedgehog. Including, Shadow." Snively said.
"How much I hate that hedgehog when he turn his back on me. He'll get what's coming." Eggman said, noticing Sonic wasn't with them. "Sonic is not with those two? Where is he?"
"Boss, the Blue Typhoon is bringing out that cannon from it's ship!" Decoe yelled as they see the Blast Cannon lifting out from the runway of the ship. "I think they're planning to aim directly at us!"
"Get the shield activated! Tell all ship to activate their shields! Hurry! And brace for impact!" Eggman yelled.
Back on the Blue Typhoon, the runway opens up in two. The Blast Cannon comes out from below, aiming towards the Death Egg. Sonic was inside the cannon, standing on a platform for the cannon to be launch. "Sonic, the cannon is ready. It's aiming towards the Death Egg. Ships are trying to block it so it hit the ship." Tails said on the speaker.
"Doesn't matter, buddy! Get ready to fire! I'll be fine!" Sonic said, beginning to doing his Spin Dash move.
In the bridge, Tails got his fingers on the trigger. The target was locked on the Death Egg as more ships tries to block the attack. He look to see the Blast Cannon is at 100%. It was ready to fire.
"Shadow, Silver! Get out of the way! I'm about to fire the cannon! Sonic, you're ready?" He asked.
"I'm ready!" He yelled.
"Here goes nothing!…. FIRE!" Tails pushed the trigger, firing the cannon, sending Sonic flying towards the Death Egg and the ships. As the hedgehog got closer to the fleet, a bright light was creating in between everything.
Police Force Headquarters
Back in Musutafu, the Police Force HQ was located in downtown. Many officers were going about their day in case of any villain activity throughout the city. In the building, Kamui Woods had a phone call from Detective Tsukauchi earlier today after his heroic effects against a villian, who kidnapped a family and taken them hostage. But All Might took care of both he and Mount Lady's mission. The Amber Hero sat in a chair, in front of the detective's desk. He waited for his update on the investigation of the piece of the Egg Drone located on the rooftop the previous night.
"I believe you call me on the update of the investigation?" Kamui Woods asked.
"Yes I did." the detective answer, placing his hands together before letting out a sigh. "I'm sorry but… we're gonna have to closed this case as of now."
"What? Why?" Kamui Woods asked, surprisingly.
"I went through every database on the logo and the evidence you brought me, it's all a dud. It's leaning me towards a dead end. Also, the camera that was at the rooftop of the building is heavily damage. Therefore, we can't find any more evidence on the incident as well. Plus, the name "Eggman" you mention to me, not one name match on my computer." Tsukauchi explained.
"Seriously?" the Amber Hero asked.
"That's all I can say. Sorry. We're at a dead end in this investigation." Tsukauchi said.
"It's kinda weird. That a name like "Eggman" would never exist on this planet. Even after hearing from three taking robots." Kamui Woods said.
"Who would have a name like that is beyond me?" Tsukauchi asked.
Suddenly, the building begin shaking. Every officer feel the violent shake of what an Earthquake could do. Many of them think it is an Earthquake since Japan has been known for these thing in their history. Objects on their desk drop to the floor. Lights, computers, television screens, and other electronic things were going on and off multiple time. The hero and the detective got up from their seats took look out. Then, the quake ended it. Only lasted for about two minutes. Other officers look around, grabbing their things from the ground.
"Well, that was a quick one." Kamui Woods said.
"We always have those types of Earthquakes here in Japan. We're use to it." Tsukauchi said.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared from outside. The hero, detective, and other officers were curious what was happening. One of the officers with his head shape of an orange cat, ran in to the building. "Guys, you should come see this! This mysterious light appeared from the sky right after the quake!" Officer Sansa Tamakawa said.
The others followed suit, exiting from the building. They see other officer who were returning from duty along with civilians looking at the sky with wide eyes. They look up to see a bright light all the way in the sky.
"My word. What is that?" Kamui Woods asked.
"I have no idea. But it ain't the sun." Tsukauchi said.
Shiketsu High School
At Shiketsu, it was another day of Training for the school in the East. Inasa and Camie were taking part of their usually training. Not the kind of training that U.A. has. They were join by both Seiji Shishikura, Nagamasa Mora, and their teacher, who was observing his class. Both students were in their Hero Costume.
Inasa's Costume is a thick brown suit pinned together with yellow buttons. A cape is draped over his shoulders, the collar lined with thick fur, and it almost conceals the jetpack-like propulsion system attached to his back. His left arm is completely concealed by the thick, brown material and his hand sports a large tan glove with air pipes on it, whereas his right arm is completely exposed other than the skin tight blue sleeve that appears to be apart of his under suit. Similarly to his left hand, are several tubes around his torso and ankles, which are used to expel wind power to aid with his Quirk. Plates resembling gas masks pad his knees and left shoulder, and he completes his costume with large brown shoes and a pair of goggles around his head.
Camie's Costume is a simple black catsuit with a zipper running down the middle, left slightly down to reveal her cleavage. She wears white cuffs around her wrists and heeled knee-high boots, patterned with gray lines, as well as a loose black collar lined with metallic plates.
Seiji's Costume is a black overcoat with red trimmings. Its collar covers his entire neck, only stopping just below his mouth, and two red-rimmed flaps are folded over the top. The sleeves of his coat reach down to his elbows, cut off by two large red cuffs which are strapped onto the upper part of the sleeves, and on his right, he wears a smaller white armband with a black stripe through the middle. On top of his coat, he wears a black apron that reaches down past his knees, plain apart from the red strings threaded twice through that go around his neck. He also wears a peculiar set of gloves that only cover his thumb, index and middle fingers, and black boots.
Nagamasa's Costume features only a pair of dark pants, a belt, plus the peaked cap that is part of Shiketsu High's uniform.
While the training continues, the training grounds were shaking. Both students stopped their training to look around. Luckily they were in the clearing. The teacher felt it as he looks around. The quake last about 2 minutes. They were all confused by what just happened.
"Wow, that was kinda scary." Camie said.
"Get a grip. We always have these things all the time. It was just a distraction." Seiji said.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared from the sky. The students and teacher covered their eyes and arms at the same time. They would re-open them to see that light shining in the sky. They never seen it before.
"What is the world?" Nagamasa asked.
"Where did that light came from? It just appeared all of a sudden." Inasa said.
"It's so beautiful." Camie said, with her carefree tone.
"Oh, brother." Seiji said as they continue to observe the light.
Back at U.A., inside the USJ building, Izuku was unconscious with his body underwater. He eyes slowly open. Once he open his mouth, bubbles were going upward. It was just earlier that he was near the exits only for Kurogirl to use his Quirk to transport students including him to other places. He look around started to realize he was underwater. He notice the likely hood he's at the Flood Zone. With a serious look, he begin swimming upward to surface. But beginning to have thoughts about hearing Shigaraki and the League of Villains on their mission to kill All Might.
"That guy must have a Quirk to transport other people." He thought, continuing to swim to the surface. "They came here to kill All Might. Guess its a good thing he ain't here. But why would them come to kill him? Must've been revenge for something. Either way, Itsuka was right. She had that theory earlier when we saw the barrier turn to rubble. They use the media as a decoy to sneak in to the campus. I have to do something or else… something bad with happen… including my friends."
Suddenly, he felt a hand touched his feet. Felt like someone was preventing him from swimming to the surface. Looking down, he saw Shoda from Class 1-B, holding on to his leg while holding his breath. Izuku use his right hand to offer help to the surface. Shoda grabbed his hand as the two swam to surface. But then, the two saw a shark villain swimming towards them. They couldn't activate their Quirks, especialy for Izuku where the risk of his arms breaking. If he had the Chaos Emerald active by now, he maybe would've fight back. The villain open his shark jaws, ready to take his first meal.
Out of nowhere, Tsuyu jumped in by hitting the villian on his right cheek. "Hey, Midoriya." the frog girl use her tongue to wrap it around Izuku. "Hold Midoriya's Hand tight, we're going above!" She said to Shoda as the boy hold both hands on his arm, swimming to surface.
They finally arrive at the surface of the Flood Zone. The zone contains a waterside and a ship, where their swimming next to. Tsuyu was also holding Mineta in her right arm.
"Are you guys, okay?" She look to see Hiryu and Ibara on the ship. "Hang on, Shiozaki will use her vines to get you on the ship!"
"Here. I got two people I rescue in the water!" Tsuyu use her tongue to put Izuku gently on the boat.
Shoda couldn't swim as Ibara use her vines, grabbing his hand and pulling him to the ship.
"Get on the ship before those guys show up!" Hiryu yelled at the frog girl.
"Hold up! I got one more coming on board!" Tsuyu said as she was about to wrap Mineta with her tongue.
"For a frog, you got some pretty big boobs. Perfect floaters." the prevented boy said, all tired by leaning his head on her bosoms. It made her blushed and embarrassed by his action.
The frog girl use her tongue, wrapping around Mineta's body and instead of placing him on the boat, she slammed him on there as retaliation to the pervert's actions. Tsuyu climbed on the boat with both her feet and hands. Both Izuku and Hiryu helped her on the boat.
"You save mine and Shoda's life, Asui." Izuku said.
"I told you to call me, Tsu." She said.
"O-O-Oh, s-sorry I didn't mean it." He said, waving his hands around, nervously.
"Are you okay, Shoda?" Hiryu asked as the boy was breathing.
"I-I fine." He answered, turning to Izuku. "I'm sorry, Midoriya. I didn't mean to grab your hand while underwater. I couldn't swim so I needed help to get to the surface."
"I-It's okay. It's not your fault. You don't have to apologize." Izuku said as Ibara walked towards him.
"Hey, I know you've friends with Kendo. I heard Tetsutetsu mentioned that she had a theory it was someone else that broke through the barrier. Do you know anything about it?" She asked.
"I was with her along her friends from your class. I was with her along with my friends from my class. After the whole thing in the cafeteria, we stood in the hallway near the window. We saw a couple of teachers including the principal standing at the barrier that was destroyed. Itsuka said she had a theory that it wasn't the media. It was something else. We didn't believe her at first so we took her word for it. Now, her theory is all true. These guys use the media as a decoy to sneak in to the school." Izuku explained as the others were surprised by it.
"They had to be that smart to sneak it. Those barriers are the toughest ones to break through." Hiryu said.
"Also, that mist figure. I heard him say there were here to kill All Might." Izuku said, making more students surprise and scarred.
"No way! What do want with All Might?" Shoda asked.
"I'm not sure. But he was suppose to be here with our teachers including Thirteen for this period." Izuku said.
"I did hear Thirteen said that he's doing some Hero stuff in the city. But you're right, he should've show up. Probably would've taken down these guys and we would be safe." Hiryu said.
"I'm still curious on why they want to kill All Might. Ribbit." Tsuyu said.
"Hey, hold on a second! It's not like these guys can really kill All Might. Once he shows up, he'll pound those villains when there's nothing left." Mineta said, with a serious look throwing fists in the air like his punching.
"Just a ton of questions that need to be ask about them showing up." Hiryu said. "Also, we better keep a close eye on ourselves. Remember what that mist figure just said. We have to be careful on our surroundings. He has friends all around ready to attack. Plus, he also teleported our classmates all around this building. My guess they have them in the zones that Thirteen mentioned earlier."
"You're right. I hope they're doing okay." Izuku said, looking around at the other zones in the building.
"We can't stay here longer. We gotta do something to rescue them. Ribbit." Tsuyu said.
"I agree with her. We have to rescue our friends from the zones and get out of here as quickly as possible." Ibara said.
"Guys, don't forget about that monstrous beast when we saw them exiting from the portal." Shoda said, mentioning on the humanoid figure.
"Yeah. I remember that thing had a brain above it's head. That's some freaky stuff. I definitely don't want to fight that. Hopefully both our teachers are okay. Looks like they may have the advantage in beating them. Including that thing." Hiryu said.
"Oh, crap! We got company!" Mineta yelled, getting scared while pointing his fingers at the water.
"You bastards!" the Shark Villain yelled, with a couple more, surrounding the boat to attack. "I'll enjoy eating you!"
Mineta was screaming in terror like a child instead of a hero. "Bad guys!" He yelled.
Izuku looks on seeing the villains swimming towards the boat. The others were getting nervous. They don't know what to do. They're on a boat in open water with no hope of getting to land.
"If their here for All Might, they may have a way to defeat him. They would've plan this attack if they didn't." He thought. "But why him of all the heroes? Because of his existence discourage villains and evil? Because he's the one and only Symbol of Peace and Justice?" He demeanor change from nervous to determination by clinching both his fist and teethes. His eyes were covered by the shadows of his hair. "I don't care what their intentions are. I have to focus. I have to face this evil! Head on!"
"So what are we going to do? We're outnumbered here!" Mineta said.
"There's gonna be a plan we can beat these guys." Hiryu said.
"If they can beat him, then we have to stop whatever these bad guys are planning." the others turn to Izuku. "We have to work together and keep All Might safe. Nobody at U.A. doesn't know what's going on. We're the only have to do the jobs. We have to beat these villians and rescue other people. We're heroes so let's act like one."
"I agree. Let's do it." Ibara said.
"I hope you know what you're doing." Shoda said.
"Let's give it all we can." Hiryu said.
"Let's believe one another. Ribbit." Tsuyu said.
Izuku closed his eyes. Entering back in his mindscape to try to talk with the Mystic Chief on activating the Chaos Emerald.
"Pachacamac, it's me. Can you hear me?" He asked.
"Yes I do and I know what you're gonna say. The answer is no." the Mystic Chief said.
"You heard what they said?. They're planning to kill All Might. I'm not gonna let that happen. Plus, we got villians surrounding the boat. I'm sorry, but I have to use the emerald. Sonic gave it to me years ago to be a Hero. That's where I'm at now by entering U.A. This is my first test against real villains. Please, you gotta let me do it. I don't want friends getting hurt." Izuku said.
"And again the answer is-" the Mystic Chief was interrupted by another voice.
"Father, let him use it." Tikal's voice was heard.
"Daughter, you don't have no say in this." the Mystic Chief said.
"I do have a say. Izuku knows what's happening. The villains have invaded the building. They're gonna hurt his friends and All Might. This is the child that you said can protect his planet. He was born to become a Hero. You even believe in him when you saw how he beated the bully. It's time, father. You gotta believe him. If anyone dies, their death will be in your hands." She said.
The Mystic Chief's daughter was correct. If anything happens to anyone, it would be his fault. Their deaths would be on him. He felt it before when he lost his fellow echidnas many years ago. He doesn't want that in hands again. Especially to a boy who is training hard to become a hero. He let out a sigh.
"Very well then. You have permission to use the emerald. But remember, if you use too much of it's powers, the emerald will turn black. You will no use of it anytime soon. We're counting on you. Get it done." Pachacamac said.
"Thank you. And thank you, Tikal. I'm not gonna let you down." Izuku said.
"Hurry. Save your friends." the Mystic Chief's Daughter said.
Izuku returned back to his world. With a serious look, he pulled out the Chaos Emerald from his patch, glowing a bright light from it. The green aura appears, surrounding his body. Giving enough strength to prep for action.
"Okay… let's do it." Izuku said with determination in him.
To Be Continued...
