"I want to save people with a smile on my face, so that they know that everything will be alright." Deku Lunged and attacked him with what I could guess was a ten percent attack, my father blocked it with ease and pushed his arm out of the way before countering. Deku barely blocked it, landing feet first on the wall and pushed himself back into the fight sending fractures through out the cement.
My father nodded and then slammed him into the ground. "But what motivates you, who inspired you?"
"I want to be just like All Might, to be the next Symbol of Peace." Deku pushed his power higher to stand to his feet under my fathers force.
My father sighed, "And that is where you fail, you can't be the next All Might." Deku was stunned by this and even the teachers were taken aback by the seemingly harshness of his words. "Because you aren't the same person. All Might became the man he is due to his own path. I instilled or at least tried to teach my children what mattered in life, trust, pride in not just ones people, but their friends and teammates, love and compassion. But I gave them the tools, not the path, it was their choice to use them. You try to walk in the foot steps of a titan of your world. But then you aren't your own hero, your own person." He blasted him with a Ki attack.
"I need to find my... own path." Deku said and my father stopped, a pleased smile on his bearded face. He calmly walks up to Deku and placed his hand on his shoulder.
"That's right, you can be inspired by your idol, but don't strive to copy him." He looked at All Might, "After all, the next generation should be a evolution of the last, not a repeat."
Chapter 64: The next step.
The sun set over UA, and I looked up at my father, tears in my eyes as he kneeled down. "It's time." He said, sorrow in his voice. "I'm so proud of you Fuma, I know that you won't just survive, but thrive." He turned his gaze to Deku. "And you are a fine young man, I trust that you will do your best, boy." He pulled us in for a hug. "I'll see you in the next life." We nodded tears starting to fall as he faded away. "Good bye.
I held onto him as long as I could. Once he was gone I fell to my knees, "No, don't go, please." then Deku gently pulled me up into a hug.
"It's alright," He sat down on a bench with me as I silently cried into his shoulder, "It's alright."
"W-what now?" I asked.
"Now... we do our best, and become the top heroes to ever live on this or any world, together." He held me close as the sky darkened.
It had been about two days since the Battle of Kamino ward and the news was still reporting on my father. I sat in the Midoriya house hold as I read a article about the rumors about him, and the statements made.
'He is a busy man that has chosen to remain silent on the matter. He acted due to his guilt on his son, Celron, turn to Villainy and the resulting attack on UA students including his daughter Fuma who the Villain Celron was specifcaly targeting. It is a shame how this family has fallen apart due to villain attacks.' All Might said on the matter having talked to this misterious man. While he may have been acting as a vigilantie one could argue this was a family matter. We can only hope that Celron was truely beaten in that battle and won't resurface to harm our people.
The article continued on about how I had refused to speak on the matter as it was too personal and close to heart having been reunited even for a day with my father. I just rolled my eyes in annoyance, and I recalled how yesterday All Might had come too speak with Inko about dorm life. If my father hadn't made those promises to her about watching over us, and the display of power had given to the world, man handling Villains that All Might struggled with. "You know now that the world knows your fathers power, they will only be looking at you with even higher expectations." Inko said as she sat next to me.
"I know, it's just he's always been so strong... Celron too and I was always so weak compared to them. Now... I have to surpass them..." The thought of that scared me, the thought of becoming a Super Saiyan scared me. Celron becoming a Super Saiyan terrified me. "It's so much pressure... and I can't fail now."
Inko hugged me. "I understand, just don't get your self hurt." She kissed the top of my head despite the usual mess that was my hair.
I packed up the few belongings I had in my apartment and loaded it up into the moving car driven by one of Ectoplasm's clones, I handed the keys back to the Land lord, and man spiny gills, scaly skin and fins on his fore arms. "Well good luck at UA." Triton said, his fish like eyes disappointed I wasn't going to be giving him more money.
"See you around." I shrugged as I got into the car with the phantom like hero. We didn't say much as he drove me to the new dorms behind UA. 'Living at school...' I groaned at the thought. I sat in silence, this... this was going to be my next step. I would be training harder then ever, pushing my self to the legendary form would tear apart my body day after day after day.
"You'll need to pace your self Fuma." Ectoplasm said. "You may be able to recover from injuries better then any normal human, but you can't just rip your self apart to attain that power." His mouth never moved.
"I know... but what choice do I have? I need to become a Super Saiyan before Celron. And after the battle at Kamino ward, he'll have a second large Zenkai." I furrowed my brow. "The world is in danger so long as those two are on this planet. And that they are working for someone else, an employer."
"Yes, that Baron that Astero mentioned, and too think we used to belive alien life was so far away. Then you landed on our planet." We sat in silence.
We arrived at the school and we started to unload my gear before I was called over by Aizawa with the rest of my class. "Now, Fuma, Iida, Yaoyoraozu, Todoroki and Kirishima, you four went out of your ways to get involved. Breaking laws and school policy." He said, "And aside from Jiro, Hagakure and Bakugo the rest of you knew about their plan and yet you did nothing to stop them. All of you should be expelled." We all looked down at the ground all aside from a new voice.
"If you were going to expel them, they wouldn't even be here." We turned around to look at a small spikey black haired, tailed boy in a UA school uniform. Astero had a shoulder satchel and a few bags with him.
"Your right." Aizawa said. "Class 1-A, say hello to your new class mate."
"Name's Astero, formerly the Machine Moon of the Lunar Hunters and the League of Villains most wanted deserter."
Hey there. Moving into the dorm is next chapter.
