Chapter 12: Something's entered the scene!
WHOOOO! This is coming to the fun part. Explosions happening! Familiar faces! A four-year revenge story coming from ice! So cool.
And just to remind you all that I do this for only fun. If i find it fun, then let me have it. Yes?
And and, expect a Star Wars fanfiction from me too, so if you've liked this, then follow me and wait for that fanfic to come out.
Oh, and there is a cameo from a sister manga, but only for a moment.
DISCLAIMER!
The characters from the anime and the manga are not from me, but are of Kohei Horikoshi. The only characters that I own are purely original, who are not shown in the manga or the anime.
The suburban night went on as the moon rises to its peak, as Akihiro and the rest of his family eat their chicken curry. "Ohh! You're cooking precedes me, Akane! This curry is amazing." Akihiro compliments his sister's cooking, after two years. How he missed it…
The food rushes down his mouth like a waterfall, its taste pouring his taste buds with the
"*giggle* You're welcome. So, any news on your inventing, Amano?" Akane giggles before asking the brunet-rooted middle child.
"Yeah. They say that… They'll call me if any new developments are …being made in the lab." Amano explains between slurps, eating his yakisoba. On the other end of the table, their mom and dad sit beside each other, listening intently for their stories.
"And what about you, Akane? Anything special happening right now?" Akita Tachibana, their mother, asks for his only daughter's plans.
Their father however, keeps his judging stare fixed on his three children for can't speak. His entire throat is strewn with scars. Because of a n incident that happened during work, he can't speak and will need the vibrator in his pocket to speak.
"Oh, I am running a law firm in the Naruhata District. We're almost pinning down a case about this one guy who's a villain, but the reason for that is because he was in a tight spot, so we're trying to defend him." Akane explains her side, making everyone but Akihiro glint at her.
"And what about you, Akki dear? What are your plans?" Their mother chirps at their youngest, and the entire table becomes silent, listening intently to Akihiro's new life.
Akihiro scratches the side of his face from their staring.
"… I specialize in transporting highly valued imported and/or local consignments or goods to its prescribed destination." Akihiro states elaborately, and the entire family oooohhh'd to that, understanding the statement. Except one.
Their father always was, as he describes himself, a whippersnapper. He never seemed to believe his youngest. Must be because of Akihiro's eyes. They never spoke the truth out for him. He always was a fan of truth.
Aikawa Tachibana, their father, takes out his vibrator and sticks it up his neck to speak. The entire family stares in anticipation.
"… So, you deliver boxes?" He barks at the youngest sitting opposite of him. Hearing that, the entire family bursts into laughter. Akihiro shrinks in his seating as the laughs pierce through his confidence, turning it into a lump of hopeless clay.
"I-It's okay, bro. It's not that big a deal." Amano counsels, wiping away the tears of amusement from his eye. The sympathy makes him sneer of the feeling of weakness.
He was always treated like the runt of the litter. Aikawa returns to eating his daughter's cooking in silence, keeping his furrowed brows at his family.
"Please don't belittle me. It is a legitimate business. I get paid regularly." Akihiro explains between hisses. Some coming from the pod of snakes inside him. His Quirk was feisty when she manifested.
Then, Akane feels a sharp change on her thighs, passing to her right. She smiles from the satisfying touch. Though, it felt scaly, and familiar.
A dark figure rises up beside her, and the entire family looks at it as it forms into someone very familiar. Akihiro sees her, and his face scowls from the surprise. Though, this was to be expected. His Quirk was always feisty with him.
A dark snake forms and its eyes shoot a friendly look at the family. "Hi." The slithering animal speaks out, for the first time in forever.
Akane lets out a small giggle as her hand reaches out to pet her head. "Long time no see, Stella." She greets as she pets her head, calling her by her old nickname. The name made her feel like a person. As if that ever works.
Stella, being the anti-socialist, jeers her head before her hand shifts her. "I just came out to get some food."
"Ohh, yeah. It's on the table. Here." She says as she grabs a bowl of pork cutlets to the edge facing Stella. She glances up at everyone at the table, with Akihiro glaring down upon her. She sweatdrops, staggering at him, with his arms crossed in disappointment.
The look on her master's face spoke to her, 'You are dead!'. She looks back at the food and decides to chomp on the cutlets. Bite by bite, her mouth reaches the bowl's bottom. Stella finishes the last cutlet and gulps it down.
As it did to the entire family, her forked tongue explode in the pork's sharp flavor. She shudders from the taste and shrinks to the floor. The sight makes Akane giggle in her seat, seeing how Stella is still shy around the family.
The snake reverses back and into Akihiro. Stella seeps back into Akihiro, keeping quiet for the rest of his family time. Akihiro huffs in annoyance and finishes his plate. His eyes glance up to his father's eyes, and he notices his brows to be displeased.
Akihiro shoots a clueless look at him, and the rest of the family look down meekly. All of them, except for Akihiro, know that his father would like for an explanation of the use of his Quirk. Even if they are just a Quirk.
The light of the house breaks the awkward silence, "Well, Akane dear, time to wash these plates." She calls for the sink, making Akane groan.
"Ugh, fine, fine." Akane says as she uses her knee to hoist herself up.
"And I'll get the futons out." Amano backs away from the table and marches to the back room, away from the awkward situation that he left.
The sink drops water and sounds like a waterfall in the silence, and the father and son declare a war with their pupils, neither unfazed. My oh my, how their relationship turned into an alliance. With how he was treated differently, since he's the only one with the Quirk here.
Though Aikawa has a Quirk, it wasn't anything flashy as his son's, Shady Snake. Though his was broader, his son's is more versatile, and he seemed to neglect his first friend. His face rises in disapproval as he thinks of their relationship with each other.
Not even mentioning the fact that he disobeyed him, and never continued his studies.
"I don't want to learn at Yueii! I want to work hard to serve! Not to be part of a useless system!"
The echoing words of his son trigger him from time to time, deciding to not apply for their college for an actual job. That's why they raised him to be. A tall example for the world. Not to be a delivery man, getting small pay. They raised him to be better.
The sound of plates tinking into each other fill their ears as the pleasant night went on.
The city lights of Musutafu at night seem to be speeding by. For a speeding thief in the suburbs.
He pants as he drags himself on, pushing people as he runs by.
"Whoa~! Hey!" A bystander shouts at the thief, for his phone fell to the ground. And then, a crawling figure glides by beneath him on all fours. He was wearing a Golden-Age All Might hoodie. Its ears thrown forward as he stops to pick up the bystander's phone.
"Here you go, sir~!" The gentleman chirps up at him and he continues to slide towards the thief, going faster.
/You're taking too long! I still have another tour tomorrow. You're still on patrol?/
"Can't talk. Chasing someone down. Later." He pans on the microphone, lowering himself to slide on his hands faster. That pink-haired girl always had tours now and then. Because of that gig that she did in someplace, he can't actually remember where.
The thief looks back and sees the pursuer sliding towards him, and his pace almost surpasses him. He grunts, turning to the left. He looks forward to see a dead end, with a tall fence blocking the way. He sprints toward it, and jumps on it.
He sneers to get over it, and falls down to the ground. He lands his back to rest through pants, slowing down.
The pursuer skids toward the fence and runs at it. He was waiting for an opportunity like this. To use his Quirk over an obstacle.
His heels hoist him up to the air and he steps on it. On the second step, he starts to stumble and tumble. He uses his hands to climb up, giving him a boost.
The thief hears slipping over him and sees the underside of an Adidas shoe. He tumbles down in the air and jumps forward, heeling in front of the thief.
The thief looks up to where he was, then back to him. "Who-… Who are you?"
The one in a ruffled All Might hoodie grins as he faces him. "Funny you should ask," He says before he swipes his foot at him and stances with his hands. ", I am the man who's come for those convenience store goods that you stole," then his hands turn into a clench and his eyes turn to a brave look to say his name, "The Crawler~!"
The thief sneers at him and cries out with a fist and the goods behind him. His face turns serious as he moonshifts to the side, dodging the punch. Instantaneously, he grabs the thief's neck and stretching arm and pushes his face down to the cement.
"Gah! *pant* C'mon, man! I'm just trying to make a living, man." The thief whines before his arm is raised higher and his face is smooshed to the concrete with a heel.
"Stealing isn't a living! It's a crime!" He spouts down at him, swiping away the convenient store's goods from his resting arm. He jumps off and back away from the thief. "Go get yourself a new life! Or else, you'll be sorry!" He spats at the hissing thief, leaving him alone to writhe.
He pushes down to the floor to rise, and he looks up to the Crawler's back, in shock and awe as the hero leaves. His forehead shrouds up a bump from the forcible smoosh from him.
"…"
Koichi Haimawari, a hard-working adult, manager by day, vigilante by night. His righteousness resonates with the people well. A small-time unofficial hero in the Naruhata district. He wants to protect people from the down-low, not from a tall tower. He likes to keeps his pocket filled though.
He is an inspiration to the more-on smaller Quirk-users. Once there's a commotion, he can't say no.
The ringing of a phone vibrates in his pocket, booming "You've got mail!" repeatedly. He answers it on his Bluetooth headset on his ear. "Hello?"
/Where are you? Are you done with that slacker yet?/ Hearing her worried voice makes his heart go ba-dump. Even more when it takes on a slender one. He chuckles at his girlfriend's voice.
"Yeah, just returning it to the right owner."
Under the moon of night, the entire facility of Tartarus booms in alarm of the intruders that have made it inside. Sentinel guards have been notified as their heads jerk up in alarm and march to the scene.
"We need all available officers in full combat gear to dissuade the intruders! And shoot to disarm!" The speakers advise the officers, running and stomping over to the main entrance.
"Move move move!" The guards bellow as their boots clamped on the ground, and armed with rifles between their shoulders. The entire facility is blaring at this point, with the prisoners inside waking up abruptly.
Chisaki Kai looks up to the ceiling to hear outside his cell, Stain's eyes roll up with his head unmoving, his entire body calm in a sitting position.
Peter grins as he holds onto the grip of his trusty Sword strapped on his waist. He never gets tired of using it. Piko Takeo grins as she forms into a bolt. She bolts over to the cameras, short-circuiting them as she goes by.
"Kazuma, make sure she opens up the cells. We'd want to make a big scene." Peter instructs with a tune in his voice. Kazuma nods before he turns into a body of black gas. Kazuma's gas form flows its way to the wall, and begins the climb.
Kazuma's breath starts to slip as his gaseous body reaches the vent on the top. He seeps in between the flaps and into the vents system. He reforms inside the tube and gasps for air. He sighs, motivating himself to move on, accompanying an underling.
Takumi Oshido readies his Shotgun Bracers. The devices extend over to his knuckles and elbows, along with the wide barrels like cannons. Kabe's Dragon Armor plating clinks and chinks as he saunters to the front.
"That's about there, Suit," He blocks Kabe with his hand. ", I can sweep them away with this." He brags, unsheathing his Trusty Sword. Different Quirks imbued to the sword, giving its weak glow. "I've always wanted to try it like this."
Boots of police and Sentinels rush at the black knights, with their war cries. Some aiming with their guns while others with their batons, ready to swipe.
Peter's grin reaches to his ears as he swings his sword across, pushing the police back with Force. The police fall on their backs and rears, swiftly getting back up. But Peter slits their necks with the swordtip. Peter grins at the gunmen behind the front line and raises his sword high.
Before the gunmen could shoot, Peter smashes his sword down through the ground, Forcing the police to the wall. They crash to the wall and fall to the ground, knocking them off the fight. Their groans ignored by Peter as he passes them to the entrance.
Kabe, agape in his densest armor, remains still from how powerful he his.
"C'mon, then. You haven't seen nothing yet." Takumi motions him to keep moving on, to conquer the most protected place on Musutafu. Peter's grin never falters in any mission that he has profited from. He, too, likes money and possessions. He likes to conquer any dungeon that he sees as his own. His pride knows no bounds to the world. His sanity disappeared with his youth.
He conquers every spit of land with a smile on his face. Every scream he's heard, in the battles he's fought. They're just noise. To him, there is no greater feeling than the feeling of being first.
Ooooohhhh~! This is turning out to be exciting! And a new cameo done! Yayy! And also, I'll be making these chapters short from now on. Maybe ranging from 2,000 – 2,500 words each. So, the rest of you can catch up. And maybe I can upload faster from now on. Leave a review for your thoughts or if you liked this piece.
Also, cliffhanger. Hehehe. What about Sokudo and Ryusake? Keep reading to find out.
Like you all, and peace.
