Chapter 21: Meeting the Freedom Fighters
Days has past since the USJ Incident at U.A. The incident became a major headline throughout the country. It became a topic for students that are becoming Heroes encounter real villains. It got many people including parents if it was safe. Princpal Nezu made it clear their students would be protected at all time. Heavy Security was now present at the campus after the incident. However, there was another problem and its not only the League of Villains, it was also Dr. Eggman and the Eggman Empire that was another threat. Though the news of Eggman wasn't mention during the incident, Police and U.A. agree to keep it a secret from the public until the time would come. Especially the Invasion of Earth in the distance future.
It was night time at the academy. Inside the conference room, Toshinori, Nezu, Snipe, and Midnight were among the only heroes as they were join by Detective Tsukauchi, who stand in front of them reviewing the investigation of the incident. The others Heroes were not in attendance due to recovery from the injuries from the fight with Infinite.
"There's two investigations right now involving this incident. I'll start with the first half of it." Tsukauch explained while looking at papers. "Our Investigators are trying to learn everything they can about the so called League of Villains. We made some progress. But we can't find anything on this Shigaraki guy so far. We searched our records for men in their 20s or 30s who are registered as having some sort of Disintegration Quirk. But so far, we came up empty. Same for the Warp Gate Villain Kurogiri. So they're not citizens or their using Aliases. Hard to find either way."
"So that means we don't know anything. To tell you the truth, I know that Eggman person threaten them to reveal a name of who sent them. That was probably a bad move to pull the trigger." Snipe said.
"He did seem like the type." Toshinori said.
"Something on your mind, All Might?" Nezu asked.
"The attack on the USJ was too bold. No sane adult would ever attempt it." He explained. "I talked with Vlad King, still recovery from his injuries about this Shigaraki guy. He said the ring leader kept monologue about reasons he was there. Then he bragged about the Nomu's Quirks. But he never said a word about his own powers. When things didn't go his ways, he was visible upset. For example of what Young Midoriya did when he took on the Nomu with the help of the Chaos Emerald.
"That might be true, yes. But strategically, it was foolish to reveal his Quirks instead of keeping them a secret." Nezu said.
"Shigaraki made wild immature claims. But did so with a completely straight face. And he talk about Nomu as it was some kind of a pet. But seems like he was never been told before like when things goes he way no matter what. It's a personalty of a spoiled little brat. A man child." Toshinori said.
"A child with incredible power though." Snipe said.
"It's possible he never gotten the Quirks Concuiling the students at elementary school did." Midnight said.
"Maybe so. But it doesn't really matter now." Snipe said.
"There were 72 Villains arrested in the aftermath of the USJ Attack. They were all small time thugs who usually alert around back alleys. What worries me that this man-child got them all to follow his orders of his crazy plan. They viewed him as a real leader. Criminals are starting to feel more pressure now that the world is brimming with Heroes. That could be why they were so quick to follow a simple minded villainy." Tsukauchi said.
"There are plenty of people out there looking for a cause to get behind." Snipe said.
"So what can we do to stop them?" Midnight asked.
"Well, it is thanks to you Heroes or we should thank this Eggman person which we're about get into in a little while, that we have to devote ourselves into this case. Will expand our investigation and continue searching the perpetrators who planned this attack." Tsukauchi said.
"A man-child, huh?" Nezu asked as Toshinori turn to him."In some ways, there's common ground with our students. They both have so much potential. And like our students, I suppose its possible that someone is guiding him by trying to nertural his malacing villainy."
"I don't think about of what that could mean." Toshinori said.
Suddenly, a knock on the door was heard. Once it was open, Recovery Girl entered. "Sorry, but their here." she said.
"Good. Bring them in." Nezu said.
Recovery Girl exit the room as the visitors enter the room. It was both Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles entering the room. Both Snipe and Midnight were surprise by their appearance.
"Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. Glad to see you again." Toshinori said.
"You too. Glad we came along." the hedgehog said, turning to the detective. "Good to see you too and the Principal as well."
"Sorry I didn't mention this. But we decided to bring them along for this meeting. Since they know more about the other villain that is Eggman, I thought they would be the best to find out more." Nezu said. "Sonic, this is the other Heroes working here in U.A. You never got a chance to meet them during the incident. This is Snipe and Midnight."
"Please to meet you, guys." Sonic said, shaking hands with the Heroes. "These are my friends here both Tails and Knuckles."
"Good to see you, two." the fox cub said.
Midnight got a glimpse of Tails, only to have a cute blush face appeared on her face. She jumped from the chair, only to pull him into her arms, hugging him like a teddy bear. "He's is so cute!" She said, rubbing her face next to his.
The others look on with Anime Sweat Drops. "Uh, he's turning blue!" Sonic yelled, seeing his friend's face turning blue.
Midnight quickly put the fox cub to the ground. "I'm so sorry if I hugged you. Just couldn't help it." she said.
"Just don't do it again." Tails said.
"Uh, yeah that was awkward. Anyway, let's continue this meeting. Detective, you said you want to talk about the second half on the investigation." Nezu said.
"Yes, I was about to get to that." Tsukauchi said, moving a couple of papers in his hands. "Just in case, you guys missed out on the information of the League of Villains with the names of both Shigaraki and Kurogiri. I'll tell you more about it later. Right now, the second half of the investigation leads us to the other villain. And I know three of you know who he is. The name's Dr. Ivo Robotnik aka Dr. Eggman of this so called Eggman Empire he's leading. He arrived during the incident with a ton of robots he brought in. I think you know what I'm talking about."
"There were multiple Egg Gunners, EggRobos, and Egg Pawns he brought with him during the mission. Trust me, I fought with him for many years back on our home planet of Mobius." Sonic said.
"You guys are from another planet?" Snipe asked.
"Well of course. How would we think we got here?" Sonic asked.
"I do have another question. How did you know you found our location of when we were in trouble?" Toshinori asked as Tails brought out his Miles Electric Device out.
"My device has a Chaos Emerald Tracker. When it was active, we knew where the location was and we followed that signal." He said.
"Lucky we made it time right before that big monster almost killed Izuku." Sonic said.
"Well, I did look up on all accounts on this Eggman guy. Just like with Shigaraki and Kurogiri, we found no information on this person. However, there is a lead that relates to him. Good thing I brought this." Tsukauchi pulled out a little evidence bag from his pocket, giving to Tails to examine it.
The fox cub saw a piece of something that was broken. He use his Miles Electric to examine more of it. The screen scans the evidence and it shows what fit the description. "Got it. It appears that this piece is from one of Eggman's Drones." Tails said.
"Drones?" Toshinori asked.
"Their called Egg Drones. These things are use for spying while using Cloaking Device so they won't been by anyone else. I figure he would use them for the past couple of months throughout this city." Knuckles said.
"Couple of months?" Tsukauchi asked.
"It's a long story which will get into that later. But I want to know if you found this piece, where was the Egg Drone located?" Tails asked.
"The one that was found was on a rooftop of a building in the city a couple weeks ago. A hero by the name of Kamui Woods, of course the one that was at USJ among the heroes injured by that masked man Infinite was his name I think. He was on patrol throughout the city for any Villain Activity. He came across three weird robots. Woods said one has a nose of a drill while the other has a head of a rooster and the third is little monkey robot type with a yellow light on top." Tsukauchi said.
"Oh I know who they are. One of Egghead's Stupid Incompetent Robots by the name of Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts. Let's just those three among the others that are both Decoe, Bocoe, Cubot, and Orbot and the minions that are too stupid to do a job." Sonic said.
"Stupid huh? I guess they were stupid when they encounter Kamui Woods.. He tried to answers questions until them until a phone rang. Turns out the one with driill nose had his phone and answered it. Turns out Eggman's Voice was heard. That Egg Drone that was found was destroyed. Don't know how that happened. That one still unknown to this day. Kamui Woods tried to talk until he sense something behind him. A dark figure with red eyes appeared out of nowhere, tries to kill Woods. The three robots tried to escape and the Hero use his Quirk to prevent their escape. But the figure use his sword to freeze Kamui Woods. Sadly, the three robots and the figure escaped and never was heard again. That's how our investigation went cold until now with Eggman appearing at USJ." Tsukauchi said.
"A figure with a sword that can freeze things?" Knuckles asked in thinking mode. "I think we know who that is. Remember the Hard Boiled Heavies we encounter a long time ago?"
"Guess Egghead rebuild them back for another chance. I was wondering did they came with him to USJ?" Sonic asked.
"I don't think not. They would've come along with Eggman during the battle." Tails said, turing back to the detective. "And to prove your answer to the Hero that fought with this Kamui Woods dude is the Heavy Shinobi. A ninja EggRobo that has a sword that can freeze its enemy to ice. Luckily, the hero survived it."
"Who are the Hard Boiled Heavies? Another of Eggman's new squad?" Toshinori asked.
"These guys are Elite Squad of Egg-Robos created by Eggman. Their very tough to handle and there's more of them later on. For now though, the reason that All Might and Nezu called us is about Eggman. Something that is gonna terrified everyone not only in this city, but also the entire planet. And I got the information of proof that Eggman will launch Operation Stardust. The Eggman Empire's Invasion of Earth and the create of a One World Government." Tails said.
"What? An Invasion of Earth?" Midnight asked.
"Let's him explain. All Might, Tsukauchi, and myself was heard about this. I believe you must hear it." Nezu said.
Tails use his Miles Electric Device as a hologram, giving the information of Operation Stardust. From the part of the Satellite Eggman launched to give data spying on Earth including Musutafu. Then shows the part of where the construction of the Death Egg Space Station created near the planet. More and more comes out and Snipe and Midnight was stunned by it. Another part shows the footage of the Giant Villains fighting with both Kamui Woods and Mt. Lady via the satellite. Plus the blueprint of the Great Eggman Robot was seen. Then the Map of the Earth shown where arrows of Eggman's Army begin surrounding the color red around the planet before the Eggman Empire's Logo appeared.
"And there you have it. Everything Eggman is planning to invade the Earth by creating a One World Government where he will rule the entire world." Tails said.
"What is a One World Government?" Snipe asked.
"Never heard a thing about the New World Order?" Toshinori explains. "It a secretive power elite with a globalist agenda conspiring to eventually rule the world through an authoritarian world government. Which will replace sovereign nation states and an all-encompassing propaganda whose ideology hails the establishment of the New World Order as the culmination of history's progress. I've read books about it as a student here in U.A. I was interested in it. Of course you can call me a Conspiracy Theorist and all. But then when I became a Hero, I lost interest on it. Now with Eggman's Plan of a One World Government, looks like I'm back on it again."
"This whole thing of creating a One World Government is crazy by one person." Nezu said.
"What would happen to us if that was created?" Midnight asked.
"You don't want to know." Tails said, using the Miles Electric, showing another floating object. "This is one Eggman's Inventions called the Destroyer. It's a gigantic blimp-like craft made of gray metal. It can exert a field of influence that can break down and reform the environment into an industrial wasteland in a manner of moments. If you think we're joking, here's the proof. He did the same thing to our city Mobotropolis into Robotropolis."
The hologram from the Miles Electric shows the footage of the Destroyer flying in the sky, approaching towards Mobotropolis. On its way there, the grass, plants, and trees were once from peaceful green, to a wasteland of dead trees. It was flying above the city where once from a peaceful city, to an industral city where only broken down buildings and people turn to robots.
"Oh my god." Midnight said, with a shock look on her face.
"With just one machine, he can turn a city into a wasteland type. He even turn your kind into robots. Is that what will happen to us?" Snipe asked.
"He will. He'll turn everyone in this planet to his slave of robots." Knuckles said.
"This is insane." Midnight said.
"Just like he did when he turn the Nomu into a robot at USJ. An example of what it'll be like if he took if we were like that." Toshinori said.
"So now we have two threats to worry about. The Villains that attacked USJ and Eggman who will launch an Invasion of Earth. Never thought I see this day would come." Snipe said.
"I'm not sure on Eggman yet. As of now, I think Egghead will hold off his invasion plans for now. He's already trying to set his sights on All Might. Just like what those guys we're planning to kill him. But for Egghead, this is different. He's trying to capture him so he can join the Eggman Empire." Sonic said.
"So what are we gonna do now?" Midnight asked.
"For now, Nezu, All Might, and I agree we must keep this Eggman situation under wraps. Sure the students heard about it and the Principal will have a chat with them once they return to the academy. We can let this information leak out to the media. If this gets reported, not only this city but the entire world will go into chaos and panic. Everyone will think the world's coming to an end." Tsukauchi said. "Also, there's one thing we need to worry about. And its the masked figure All Might and Sonic fought. The person names Infinite."
That name send chills to both Snipe and Midnight's Spine. They know full well they took him on and it wasn't pretty.
"Never thought I say this. But I thought Infinite was one strong person than Shigaraki or Kurogiri. The way he fought was something I didn't think. Plus, that jewel on his chest. It has something to do by creating copies of people. Like me when created me." Toshinori said.
"Both Present Mic and Ectoplasm thought it was you. But it turn out it was the impostor the masked figure created." Snipe said. "I aimed my gun at the mercenary and he just snatched that bullet within a second. It didn't wound his hand or anything. He grabbed it and crushed it. I was shocked by it before he charge at me and knock me out cold."
"Cementos use his Quirk to trap the figure while Power Loader grabbed his legs from the ground so he wouldn't get away. I use my Aroma Quirk to put the mercenary to sleep. Turns out it was fake all along and the real one was right behind us before knocking us out." Midnight said.
"So we're dealing with an enemy that is one step ahead of us. He can trick us by creating copes of himself and luring us into thinking that's him before he can sneak onto us to attack. I bet it has to be that jewel on his chest." Toshinori said.
"It's called the Phantom Ruby." Tails said. "We found blueprints inside Eggman's Base back on our home planet before we left. Perhaps there be clues to what kind of powers does the ruby has."
"If you have a chance, perhaps bring the blueprint to us so we can learn more about this ruby." Tsukauchi said.
"I think this concludes our meeting for the night. As of right now, we've giving the students a couple of days off to regroup and get their minds away from what happen at USJ. Hopefully, once our teachers is healthy, we can get class going again." Nezu said.
"Very well, then. I'll keep you guys in touch to find out more on the investigation." Tsukauchi said before making he way out of the room.
Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles said their goodbyes as they were about to leave. But Principal Nezu stopped them. "Hang on, you three. Stay here for a while. All Might and I needs to talk with you. Especially you, Sonic." He said.
"Uh, sure." the hedgehog said as he looks back at Tails and Knuckles with curious looks.
"Snipe, Midnight, you guys can head home. Will see you in the morning." Nezu said.
Toshinori and Nezu exit with the three anthropomorphic out of the conference room. Snipe and Midnight look on with curious looks.
"Wonder why All Might and Nezu want to talk with them for?" Snipe asked.
"No idea." Midnight said.
At the apartment complex, Izuku was in his bedroom, watching the Rescue by All Might on the computer like he did during childhood. He was waiting on dinner with Inko cooking it. School was closed the day after the incident for him and the students so security would be tight again. Of course, it gave him enough time to rest and heal his injuries after the brutal beating at the hands of both Shigaraki and the Nomu. Those memories would still haunt him but he promise to his friends that he would get more stronger to make sure it won't happen again.
"I wish I would never gotten myself in that situation." He thought as he pick up a dumbbell and begin using it as his exercise. "All I did, along with my classmates, we slowed both Mr. Aizawa, Vlad King, and Thirteen in trying to defeat the Villains. But they got injured. As for me, I almost faced death after rescuing Tsu. Momo was right. She had every right to slap me what I did. I never seen her so scarred in my life. Imaging if I would've die, my mom would be devastated if that happened. But thanks to Sonic, he saved my life and I escaped death."
He turn to his desk to see the Green Chaos Emerald, still in black after all its energy was drained during his fight with the Nomu.
"I'm surprised the emerald hasn't gotten its energy back. I really gonna need it again in case of things like this happens again. Including now that Eggman has arrived. Never got a chance to see him since I was unconscious. But what Sonic told me back in U.A., I believe the planet itself could be in grave danger."
Flashback
In the Nurse's Office at U.A., Izuku, Nezu, Toshinori, Tsukauchi, and Recovery Girl were hearing Sonic and Tails explanation on Eggman's Invasion of Earth after the USJ Incident. They were surprise by the information they were getting thanks to the Miles Electric
"There's reasons on why we came back to Earth. Not only to see Izuku as a Hero, but also to warn everyone that Eggman is preparing to launch an Invasion of this planet. Now we don't know when will it happen, but after today he made his appearance here at U.A. He pretty much gave us a sneak preview of what it would be like. And we have a ton of evidence to prove its gonna happen." the hedgehog said.
"An invasion? You're kidding?" Izuku asked.
"You missed out on Dr. Eggman when you were unconscious. He was looking for you and was gonna try to steal the Chaos Emerald from you." Tails said.
"Eggman was planning to come after me?" Izuku asked, shockingly.
"But lucky, he didn't manage to capture the Chaos Emerald as they withdrew from the scene. Plus, those two villains that were there made their escape." Knuckles said.
"I see. Where is the Chaos Emerald?" He asked as Recovery Girl gave him the jewel. "Thank you."
"Unfortunately, the jewel is still black. Therefore all that energy has been drained." Sonic said.
"So let me get this straight. You two know this child before?" Tsukauchi asked.
"Its been 10 years since they last met. Except for the red guy, I believe this is his first time." Nezu said.
"Anyway, you mention an Invasion of Earth by Dr. Eggman." Toshinori said.
"Exactly. There's reason why we came to this planet. Plus, with the Chaos Emerald losing power, there's a good chance we can regain it back. There's an island coming to Earth right now and there's a place where we can restore the emerald back to life." Tails said.
"Floating Island? Is this some kind of Science Fiction I'm hearing?" Tsukauchi asked.
"We're not lying. Because there's a temple that I keep guard of the other six emeralds including a big emerald." Knuckles said.
"Six emerald? Wait a second, are you saying that what Young Midoriya is holding there are six of them? Toshinori asked in a shocking tone.
"In terms, there seven total emerald." Sonic said.
"I see. And what about this giant emerald you're referring too?" Nezu asked.
"Its another emerald that hold strong power like the emeralds. Sadly, Dr. Eggman has that one for a weapon he's using as part of the invasion." Knuckles said.
"Here we thought the League of Villains were a threat, seems Dr. Eggman is more of a threat to the world." Nezu said.
"Never thought this day would go craizer by the day." Izuku said.
"Um,… hate to be left out but.. do you know more anything about these emeralds?" Tsukauchi said.
"Promise one thing if you don't tell anyone about the invasion. Including to the world. We can't let anyone go into panic." Sonic said.
"That we can agree on." Nezu said.
From then on, Tsukauchi agree to keep the Eggman Invasion out of the public including the Chaos Emeralds until the time was right. Only person that would know more was Nezu, Toshonori, Izuku and Recovery Girl. They all agree to keep it out of the public. Only the League of Villains would be mentioned for the time being.
End Flashback
"I just gotta keep what I'm doing. If this invasion that Eggman is planning, then I have to be prepare for what's coming up. Tails said he has the five Chaos Emeralds. Question is who the one with the sixth emerald? And I got the seventh and final emerald. No doubt he wants my emerald and he'll do what ever he can to take it from me. I'll make sure he's doesn't take it away from me. I'll make both Sonic and Tails proud. Including All Might. He gave his Quirk. I'll make him proud as well." He thought when he heard a knock on his door.
"Izuku?" Inko's voice was heard from the other side.
"Yeah?" Izuku responded as his mother opened the door.
"Dinner's ready. Your food's getting cold." she said.
"I'll be right there. Thanks, mom." he responded as she smiled at him before closing the door.
Suddenly, another knock was heard. This time coming from his window. Izuku turn around to see Sonic waving at him. It was just like old times all over again. He climb to the bed to open the window as the hedgehog jumps in to his room.
"Almost like the good old days when you snuck Tails and I to your room." Sonic said.
"Luckily my mom exit out of my room right before you knocked. Imaging if you did when she saw you, she would've freak out of seeing a talking animal." Izuku said.
"Maybe so. I can just meet her in person." Sonic said.
"I'm not sure if she's ready to meet you. Give it time until I decide. Anyway, what are you doing here?" Izuku asked.
"Oh yeah. I'm was planning on taking you with me back to the airfield. A chance to meet the other Freedom Fighters." Sonic said.
"Wait a second… are you saying that you, Tails, and Knuckles aren't the only ones? There's more of your kind?" Izuku asked.
"Of course. I told them about you and they'll be glad to see you. So you're coming or what?" Sonic asked.
"But my mom just made me dinner. I have to eat something since its getting cold." Izuku said.
"Just tell you're mom save the food. Besides, we're cooking food over there. I'll wait for you outside. You don't have to be school anyway for the couple of days after what happened." Sonic said as he exit from the window.
Izuku didn't want to say no. He was eager to meet the other Freedom Fighters, get to know them very well. He didn't even had a chance at eating the food Inko made for him. He quickly grabbed his phone and the Chaos Emerald, making his way out his bedroom. He saw his mom sitting at the table eating the food she made for themselves. Inko look up to see her son making her way to the doorway.
"Izuku, where you going?" She asked.
"I'm sorry. I'll promise to eat when I get back. I have to be somewhere. I'll see you later." Izuku said as he ran out before closing the door.
Inko tried to stop but was too late once he left. She look down in disappointment, wanting to spend time with her son during dinner. She was worried for him after the news of the USJ Incident was reported on television. Luckily, her son survived it but she didn't realize the beating he went through almost resulted in his death. She doesn't know how long her son would be around before becoming a Hero, but spending with him more would be nice despite doing other things in secret.
Across town, at the Yaoyorozou Mansion, Momo was in her bedroom sitting at her desk, reading a book. Her spiky ponytail was untied, revealing her long beautiful black hair. She wore pajamas and her glasses on for ready. Though she was trying her hardest to focus reading through of a page. The memories of the USJ Incident was flooding in her mind. Mostly, it was about the time she was holding Izuku's Body in her arms and the part of her slapping the boy's face for his insane part of fighting the Nomu.
She took her glasses off, flicking them on her book. She covered her face with her hands, dragging them down slowly. The whole thing became a distraction from her. Despite the days off from the academy, she was hoping reading a book would get her away from the incident.
"I can't focus. Ever since that incident, my mind is still on the time I fought with real villains. I'm glad the others are okay. Including the ones from Class 1-B." She thought. "Haven't spoke to Izuku in a while. I'm hope he's okay. I know he did apologize to us for his actions, but I bet he's angry that I slapped him for it. Maybe I was too hard on him. I'll talk with him when we get back to the academy."
Suddenly, her phone rang. She snapped from her thoughts as she grabbed her phone. Looking at the screen, she saw Camie's Name on it. She place her thumb on the Green Call logo, scrolling it to answer it. The screen changes to show Camie's smiling face. Momo's face was show on the top right of the screen.
"Yao-Momo, you're still awake?" the Mist Quirk user asked.
"Uh, you know I go to bed early every night. Why you called? It's 8:30 in the evening." She said, looking the clock near her bed.
"I'm just calling if you want to come over to Dagobah Beach. Don't worry, I'm not alone. Itsuka along with friends from Class 1-B and a girl with earphone jack from your class is here as well." Camie said.
"That late at night?" Momo asked.
"Well since you and Itsuka are off from U.A. since that incident, we thought it was a great idea to have some fun and get away from all of it as a distraction. Just like old days. Besides, I know you're still worried for Midoriya. Perhaps you can invite him over." Camie said.
"I doubt it. Haven't spoke to him since the incident. Probably is mad for slapping him in front of everyone." Momo said.
"Just don't worry about it. Just try to call him and see what he says. So are you coming or not?" Camie asked as Momo let out a sigh.
"Fine. I guess I'll come. I needed something to distract myself from what happened at the academy." She said.
"I'll let everyone know. See you here." Camie said as she hung up the phone.
"I don't feel like going anywhere. But if something can cheer me up, this would be the one. I'll try calling Izuku to see if he wants to come by while I'm on my way there." Momo thought before getting up and getting dressed in different clothes before leaving the mansion.
Sonic and Izuku were near the road side outside the city. The street lights were the only light source they can see. The boy pulled his phone out by turning on the flashlight on it. The two proceed towards the forest following the dirt road that led to the airfield. They saw the gates up ahead along with lights behind it. Izuku open it and walk pass it. He turn his flashlight off before looking up. His jaw dropped in a comical way when he saw the Blue Typhoon in front of him. Sonic saw that look, only to shake his head.
"Um, anytime you want to regain composer now is the time?" Sonic asked.
"T-T-T-This s-s-ship is large! Is this where to flew all the to Earth?" Izuku asked.
"Of course. Tails built this thing for far distance missions. Just ask him." Sonic said as he walk off to the hanger.
"T-Tails built this?" Izuku asked when he saw the hedgehog walking off. "Hey, wait up!"
The boy caught up with the hedgehog as they stood in front of the hanger doors. Sonic opens the doors by sliding it. Izuku got a glimpse of inside when he was shocked to see what it was. A large DJ Music Set created by Vector. A mini HQ set located in the middle for radar and other information computers set up by Tails. A mini kitchen set on the left side of the hanger for food created by both Amy and Cream. A training set to the right created by Knuckles for exercises. Izuku looks on, surprise by everything. Not like it was back 10 years ago when it was just an empty hanger use by him, Sonic, and Tails.
"Pretty cool, huh? We're still continue to build this place. This is our HQ for the time being so we can keep an eye on Dr. Eggman when the invasion begin." Sonic said.
"W-Wow, this is amazing. With all the hard work you've guys have done everything." Izuku said, looking around the hanger. Suddenly, he sense something. He turn around only for nobody to be outside. Once he turn back around, he encounter a small blue figure floating in front of him.
"Chao." Cheese said.
"What the?!" Izuku flinched by falling to the ground. He rubbed his head from the pain. He look to see Cheese floating in front of him with a smile. "You're a little guy aren't you? Who are you?"
"Sorry about that." the boy turn to see Cream running towards them. "Cheese didn't mean to scare you."
"I-It's okay. I just didn't see him." Izuku said, getting back up on his feet. He turn to the rabbit. "Y-You're a rabbit aren't you?"
"Yes I am. My name is Cream. You must be the human boy that Mr. Sonic's been talking about." she said.
"My name's Izuku Midoriya. It's nice to meet you, too." He said, smiling at her. Cheese nudged his left cheek. "You really are a nice fella aren't you?"
"Everyone, come and meet Izuku. I brought him here." Sonic said as everyone walked to the boy.
"No way! This is him!" Charmy Bee said, flying around him. Izuku saw him for the first time.
"A-A B-Bee? That large?" Izuku asked, shaking, don't want be stunned by his stinger.
"Relax. I'm a friendly Bee. Charmy Bee's the name." He said, shaking his hand excitedly.
"I-It's nice to meet you." Izuku said, still nervous.
"I'm Amy Rose. It's an honor to meet you." She said, smiling.
"You're a hedgehog, too? You must be Sonic's Sister then?" Izuku asked.
"Sister? No I'm his girlfri-" She couldn't finished that sentence because Sonic jumped in, placing his hand on her mouth.
"Let's don't go there." He said.
"I'm Vector the Crocodile." He said.
"Espio the Chameleon." He said by bowing.
"Blaze the Cat." She said.
"Rouge the Bat." the other said.
"E-123 Omega." the robot said.
"I'm Silver the Hedgehog." He said, floating above him.
"I'm Shadow the Hedgehog." the other said, walking towards him with his arms crossed.
Izuku looks around, amazed by the other anthropomorphic people in front of him. Never thought he would meet Sonic's Friends. Including two hedgehog, that were similar to Sonic. He want to write down all their Quirks but forgot his notebook at home.
"Pretty cool, isn't it? These guys are the Freedom Fighters." Sonic said.
"Freedom Fighters?" Izuku asked.
Sonic explained on how the Freedom Fighters was formed after Eggman took over Mobotropolis and Sonic's first victory against the doctor. He told him that a person named Sally Acorn was the first to form the group, made Sonic the leader. The hedgehog told him of the past members of Bunnie, Antonie, and Rotor that were part of the group until they retired. Since then, the group is still fighting hard with Eggman and now the fight was taken to a new level to Earth.
"Wow. Didn't think you guys had the courage to take on Eggman like that." Izuku said.
"Sadly, we wish we just have peace throughout. But Eggman is not going down without a fight. And now he's preparing for the Invasion of Earth. You already known by now." Tails said.
"You guys told me he made an appearance at USJ. He was trying to capture the Chaos Emerald. I know he as five of the Seven Chaos Emeralds. I was wondering, do you know who has the sixth?" Izuku asked.
"Still don't know. We tried finding out who's the unknown person holding the Red Chaos Emerald. Nothing so far." Knuckles said.
"Sonic told us about what happened at this USJ place you were in? You got injured by these guys including a big humanoid monster that Eggman robotized." Vector said.
Izuku told them about the USJ Incident. The others except Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles were surprise by the boy talking about his teachers being injured by Villains. He told them that him along with classmates were teleported through other zones by Kurogiri. He fought with thugs with the help of other classmates. He told them about his teacher, Aizawa along with Vlad King being injuried by the Nomu. He told them that he save Tsuyu from death by Shigaraki before saving her in time. Then told them about the beatings and near death he went through before Sonic showed up and saved him. The others were horrified by it.
"You had to be that crazy to save somebody. You almost got yourself kill." Rogue said.
"I know. I just lost control of my anger that's all. Couldn't see someone die. At the same time, the emerald lost all its power when I almost beat the Nomu." Izuku said, pulling the emerald to show everyone.
"It's black. It lost all its power." Espio said.
"I heard that this island was on its way to Earth. Knuckles told me that there's a place that can charge the emerald back to life." Izuku said.
"Better hope it get here soon. No telling when Eggman would strike again. Plus, now we're dealing with those two guys that you face against. Their called the League of Villains." Tails said.
"So now we got Eggman and the League of Villains we're dealing with at the same time. They both going after the same thing." Knuckles said.
"Another question. You know this All Might person? How did you know him?" Silver asked.
Izuku told them about meeting the Symbol of Peace when he was captured by the Sludge Villain. But he fought the Villain with the help of the Chaos Emerald until his idol jumped in and finished him off. However, there was a mistake. The bottle that All Might caught the villain dropped into the city, causing the Villain to escape and wreck havoc again. Only for the hero to beat the villain again. He didn't mention about being rescued again nor talking about One For All. He did mention of All Might, training him to be the Hero he want. He told them he knew the Chaos Emerald.
"That's really awesome. I like to meet him someday." Charmy Bee said.
"Mr. Sonic told him about the hero. He always has that smile on his face with the toy you gave him a while back." Cream said.
"Chao." Cheese responded.
"Don't worry. Maybe I'll convice him to come meet you guys. He's a nice guy. I always idolized him as an influence for me to become a Hero." Izuku said.
"By the way, you also go to this school called U.A. What's it like?" Amy asked.
Izuku told them about the school where students can learn and train to become heroes. He told them about the teachers that are pro-heroes, helping them in the process.
"So there's students like you that are training to be heroes too?" Silver asked.
"I always want to go to U.A. It was the place where I can become a Hero. It's takes hard work though." Izuku said.
"Speaking of teachers, how are those three heroes doing?" Sonic asked, referring to Thirteen, Aizawa, and Vlad King.
"I did hear that they'll doing well. Their healing pretty good and hoping will see them when I go back to school. Haven't been back there since the incident after the principal gave everyone the day off." Izuku said.
"Well that's good." Tails said.
"Do you guys know more about this Infinite person? The one that Eggman has as his weapon?" Izuku asked.
"Not really. But he is really strong. We still trying to find out more about this Phantom Ruby he got. Gonna be a ton of work to try to see what it does. But we know, we're gonna have to keep an eye on this person. He'll strike again soon. We saw what he did against the Heroes." Tails said as Sonic grabbed a plate with a Chili Dog and handed to Izuku.
"What is this?" He asked, looking at the food.
"It's a Chili Dog. My favorite." the hedgehog said.
"I've never tried this type of food nor I've never seen it." Izuku said.
"Give it try. See if you like it." Sonic said.
The boy grabbed on the Chili Dog. Some of the chili drip on the ground. Taking one last look at the food before opening his mouth, he takes a bite out of the food and chewing at it. Took a couple of seconds before swallowing it. "Wow, this is good. I've didn't think it wouldn't be that good. But it is good." He said, taking another bite out of it, finishing the entire thing.
"Just don't grab the entire thing." Sonic said as everyone except Shadow laughed.
On board the Death Egg, it was already quiet. Many of the crew were asleep. Some robots were on night watch, even though it was impossible for any intruders to infiltrate the ship. Unless it was the Freedom Fighters.
In the bridge, Scratch and Grounder were on night watch, looking for anyone or anything that coming towards the space station. A view of the Earth was shown on screen. They were keeping eye on the drones being sent for a night time recon mission in the city. However, the badniks were sleeping on the job… again. Eggman and other minions were asleep. Suddenly, the alarms rang, causing the two to wake up. Both bump heads at one another, falling on the floor.
"Ow!" they both said, rubbing their heads.
The doors behind them open, revealing Eggman in his pajamas with Snively, Orbot, Cubot, Coconuts, Decoe, and Bocoe trailing from behind, entering the bridge.
"What's going on?" the doctor asked.
"Boss, uh..." Scratch quickly jumped to his to check the radar on the screen. "It appears that one of the motion sensors we set back on the direction of where the Freedom Fighters came through, was triggered. Looks like something large is heading towards our direction."
"Large? Impossible? The only one that was large was the Freedom Fighters' Ship that came through during our fight." Eggman said as the alarms turn off.
"So what is it then?" Orbot asked.
Then it finally hit Eggman. He didn't realize it until now. "Grounder, are the cameras activated on the motion sensors?" he asked.
"They should be, boss." the Drilling Badnik said as he change the screen to the view of the camera from the motion sensors.
The others look on screen of the object that was heading their way. Their eyes grew wide of what they saw.
"No way. It's… it's..." Snively said but couldn't finish speaking.
"So it finally arrived." Eggman said as they see the floating object making it way towards Earth.
Back in Musutafu, at Dagobah Beach Park, Camie and Itsuka invited Tetsutetsu, Setsuna, Yui, and Pony Tsunotori as one of the members of Class 1-B. Jirou was also invited by Itsuka. She became friends with Momo during their time in Class 1-A. They created a bonfire in the middle so they can get some light. Throughout the night, they chatted with one another even talking about the events of the USJ Incident from their point of view.
While the others continue chatting, Momo sat there with her knees bend up, with her arms around them. She looks up at the stars above her. Her mind still on Izuku. Before she was coming, she tried giving a phone call to Izuku so she can invite him to the beach. There was no answer from him throughout.
"You okay?" A voice was heard as she turn to Jirou, who was looking at her.
"I'm fine. Really trying to get myself in a fun mood tonight." she said.
"Is this about Deku?" Jirou asked as Momo looked at her with a surprised look. "You don't have to hide it. You were worried about him that day when you were holding his body while crying at the same time."
"How did you know that name?" She asked.
"I heard it a lot from Uraraka and Bakugo. I thought it was nice to call him by that name… unless it was a bad idea." Jirou said.
"No it's okay. I mean Izuku doesn't have a problem hearing that name from Uraraka. But maybe from Bakugo, let's just say that's a different story." Momo said, referring to Bakugo's Bullying to Izuku.
"I see. Anyway, Kendo told me what happened. I heard you slapped him for fighting against that monster almost risking his life. At the same time, he did save Asui from that Shigaraki guy. Hiryu from Class 1-B told me about it when were heading back to the campus after the incident. He said that he saw Deku use his emerald to take on the beast. After that, the emerald lost all it's power and we knew how it ended up for him." Jirou explained.
"I'm wondering. How did he knew both those talking animals? The one with two tails that resemble of a fox. And the hedgehog that is fast. Are those the friends Izuku met a while back who gave him that emerald?" Momo asked.
"Let's not forget about that man with the mustache. His name was Dr. Eggman from what I heard. He was planning to steal that emerald from Deku. Plus I did heard him say he was planning an Invasion of Earth. Does he know something that we don't know?" Jirou asked.
"I need to talk to Izuku about this. He knows something we don't know." Momo said.
"Perhaps give him a call. You could invite him to the beach." Jirou said.
"I tried. He won't answer." Momo said, looking at her phone to see he hasn't called back.
"Yao-Momo." the girls look up to see Kendo and Camie walking towards them.
"Hey, guys. Sorry but if you were asking about Izuku, I couldn't get him to answer his phone." Momo said.
"Probably still recovering from those injuries by the villains." Kendo said.
"Maybe. I just hope he ain't mad at me for slapping him." Momo said as Camie place a hand on her shoulder.
"It's okay. You'll probably see him once you go back to U.A. Give it time." She said.
"Maybe your right." Momo said.
"Hey, guys." the girls turn to Setsuna, who was running towards them. "You need to come see this. There's something coming from the sky."
The girls had curious looks on their faces. Momo and Jirou got up from the sand, following Kendo and Camie to the others. They were looking at the sky where they saw something bright in the distance.
"Is that a shooting star?" Camie asked.
"Not sure. We were all chatting until Setsuna saw it. Almost look like a fireball." Tetsutetsu said.
"Or you can call it an asteroid or a meteorite." Yui said.
"If it is, then those should be turn to small rocks once it enters the atmosphere." Pony Tsunotori said.
"Looks like it heading for the ocean." Jirou said.
The others look to see the fireball making its way towards the ocean. They hurry towards the small hut to get another view. Then came the weirder part. The object begin to slow itself down. The fire below it died out as it float above the ocean. They were all surprise of what their seeing.
"Did you guys see that? It just stopped." Tetsutetsu said.
"There's no way fireballs would stop by itself." Jirou said.
Momo use her Quirk to create binoculars from her arm. She uses them to get a good look of the object. She gasped of what she was seeing. That got the others' attention.
"What is it?" Kendo asked.
"Call me crazy… but that's not a rock… it looks like… an island." She said.
The others were shocked they took turns to see it for themselves. Camie and Setsuna pulled out their phones to take videos of the floating island in the distance.
Back at the airfield, Izuku and the Freedom Fighters continue to chat. He didn't know that his phone had missed calls from Momo because he put his phone on silent mode. While chatting, the alarm from the radar Tails built came on. Everyone turn around at the radar as Tails flew towards it.
"What's going on?" Knuckles asked.
"I'm not sure. Seems the sonar that I built on the tower pick up something." Tails said, pushing a couple of buttons.
"Is it Eggman? It has to be." Sonic said.
Tails turn the alarm off. He look at the radar on screen to see an object blinking to the right of them. He quickly realize it. "Oh, no." He said.
"What's wrong? Amy asked.
"It's here." Tails said.
"What's here?" Charmy Bee asked as Tails flew out the hanger.
Izuku and the others exit from the hanger where they saw the fox cub standing near the ocean. They rush to join him as he was looking at the distance. The others look on and they had shocked faces. Izuku saw the floating island in the distance with a shocked face.
"I-Is that a-a floating island?" He asked.
"It's not just any floating island…" Knuckles said.
"It's Angel Island." Sonic said.
The island landed on the waters, connecting it inside the Earth's Crust. Once it landed, a crashing sound was heard. The landed created a mini tsunami with small waves coming towards the country like a tsunami would do. Angel Island was finally at its new home planet where it landed distance near the Coast of Japan.
With the island's arrival, it means more danger was yet to come.
End of Chapter 21
Author's Note: Before I mention anything, just want to say a Happy Father's Day to every Father out there celebrating their day. Enjoy spending time with your Fathers and Granddads throughout this weekend
Another chapter is done. My first filter chapter of this story. Took a little while I want to post this chapter on Friday but couldn't do it. You always needed a good brain to add information that can match on with the story and past chapters. Sometimes you gotta go back and look what it could match. Trust me, it takes time but once you find it, you got the best idea to fill it in. Also, their will be a Flashback scene of Toshinori and Nezu talking with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles on the rooftop that was mention on this chapter. Stay tuned for that one.
Added the beginning of Episode 1 of Season 2 with the story. Pretty much some of the chapter will have some of the same episode until we get to the Sports Festival Arc. Which led me to this point. If you guys have been reading another Sonic/MHA Crossover story called Footwork. The story starts off during the Sports Festival Arc. Reading it, it was pretty good. I don't want to copy off the stuff I want to make it my own. Trust me, it will be tough once we get to the point. Gonna have to re-read the stuff from that story again when we get there.
Well, hope everyone have a great Father's Day Weekend. Gonna be working hard on the next filter chapter. Hopefully I can get that done during the week.
Review and DM me for questions on this chapter.
