We made our way out to the bus, Inasa ran past us shouting something Todoroki about seeing him at the extra lessons. "And I still don't like you." He had this strange strained smile. I looked down at my card.
Real name: Fuma
Hero Name: Saiyan
Quirk: Ki Energy
I smiled as I took out my phone and sent a photo to Mirko. 'I passed.' I told her.
it took a few seconds for her to reply. 'That's great my girl. Can't wait to work along side you again. I'll get into contact with Nezu about work studies.'
I smiled. 'Sure.' I heard crying and looked over at Deku as he did the same with All Might. "Oh come on, stop crying." I punched him lightly in the shoulder. "One more step closer."
He wiped the tears from his eyes. "R-right."
Chapter 78: Bakugo's Breakdown
We arrived at the dorms and as the others celebrated Deku and I settled down on the couch as I settled down in his arms. "I kinda feel bad about eliminating that Seduction girl, she was able to match me in battle. I would have liked to fight her again." I said.
He laughed lightly, "Maybe you'll get the chance to do that again someday. But for now let's look forward." He ruffled my hair as someone came up from behind us.
"Deku, Fuma, we need to talk, meet me outside after everyone goes to bed." Deku nearly jumped off the couch, and like would have had I not been leaning on him.
He shakily said, "What is it Kachan?" He asked.
"I'll tell you that later." And he walked off, back to the counter.
"Hey Fuma, could you show us some Saiyan style cooking?!" Mina asked from the other couch. "I mean, you said you worked in a village inn."
Astero nearly choked on the food he was wolfing down over in the dining area. "Are you sure you want Saiyan cooking?" He asked as he beat his chest to clear his throat.
"I only served food... the one time I did cook was the last time I was trusted in the kitchen... we never could get the soot smell out of there." I said, actually embarrassed a bit.
"Didn't you live on your own for a while when you arrived here?" Iida asked.
"I never said I enjoyed my own cooking. At best I can make a sandwich with out something burning." Astero chuckled at this admission. "WELL I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU DO BETTER!" I yelled at him.
"Oh? Is that a challenge?" He stood up popping his fingers. "You full bloods have a lack of taste. Meat, meat, meat."
"Full bloods?" Sero asked.
"Oh, right... I only told Fuma, I am only half Saiyan." the small hybrid jumped of his chair. "Don't know what the other half is."
"Wait... Saiyans are able to have kids with other... species?" Uraraka asked while shooting a look at me and Deku.
"Well... you'd be surprised how many races look like humans, most of them only having a different color of skin. That and the octopi looking races are the most common." He explained. "Well... the base line human at least." Shoot a glance at Tokoyami for obvious reasons. "Not many feathered people from what I have seen, at least not in North Galaxy."
"Fuma used that as well? North Galaxy?" Iida asked.
"Well there are four main galaxies with life in them. North Galaxy, or the milky way, South, East and West. Beyond that life is scarce, let alone intelligent life." Astero explained. "There was rumors a year or so ago that a pair of Saiyans were in south Galaxy, but it didn't amount to anything." Astero got into the dorm kitchen and started cooking as he talked.
"How many of you are there left?" Kirishima asked.
"Well there is us, Celron, Romne, the Prince and his two body guards who are serving Frieza, two other Saiyans that were with them died about two years ago." Astero said. The smells from what ever he was cooking was making my stomach growl.
"My dad mentioned that he knew of another Saiyan child on another world. So that is eight of us. Damn bastard really did a number on us huh?" I asked no one in particular. "At least the others can't get here easily." I said.
"Not... quite..." Astero said. "The planet I arrived from... in the model of pod that you would have arrived it would have taken a year... the newer ones... it was just under a month."
And my sense of safety was broken... Shooting up to my feet. "No... no. That means..." This whole time...
"Frieza… or Boreal could just show up and we would be powerless to stop them." and the temperature dropped... "It's Baron Boreal we have to worry about right now. Last I heard about Frieza was that he was busy on the other side of his empire. And this planet is too small and unimportant to bother with. Directly."
I fell to the couch. "Of course... I should have known..." I felt defeated... I had been so sure that he was just too far away.
"Fuma, we can't worry about what might happen." Deku pulled me into a hug. But it didn't do anything to alleviate how I felt.
After everyone else was in bed me and Deku met Bakugo outside, "What is this about?" I asked.
And he just gestured with his head for us to follow him. No matter what we asked he stayed quiet. We followed him to battle center B. "Why did you bring us here?" Deku asked.
"Your quirk Izuku, you never had one when we were growing up, then all of a sudden you have one. And you become All Might's golden boy. I was always at the top, and you were always weak." He growled. "You inherited your quirk from All Might, didn't you? What made you so special?"
Deku took in a breath, "I am not special... yes the quirk is All Might's."
"You have saved me, twice now. And... now... you have surpassed me..." He was tearing up. "Had I not been kidnapped All Might wouldn't have retired. Why... why are you so lucky? To gain the praise and power of All Might? To have her?"
"Her? Wait... you mean... me?" I was taken aback by this.
"And you... you lied... to all of us. You lied to me. Said that I was stronger then you, then what is all of these new forms. You just keep on getting stronger. I have failed, and now you are ahead of me!" Tears flowed from his eyes, his pride ripping himself apart. "I was meant to be the number one! Then you beat me, and when I saw Todoroki, I realized that I couldn't beat him! And you fought All Might as a equal! How is anyone meant to compare to that!?"
"Katsuki, please... listen." Deku took a step towards him but a explosion went off in his hand.
"You were a worthless Deku. Now... I'm the weak one... I challenge you too a fight! AND DON"T HOLD BACK!" He charged us, Deku leaped back as I brought my knee up into his gut. Only for him to blast me in the face throwing back through a building.
'The hell... how strong is he?' I shook the dust and cement from my hair. 'He... got this strong without Ki?' "Bakugo... you want a fight? Fine."
"Fuma, Bakugo, calm down, we can talk this through." Deku said only for Bakugo to blast over to him, slamming his knee into Izuku's chin.
"DON'T HOLD BACK!" He yelled as he grabbed Deku and swung him around and with the force of a explosion slammed him into the ground.
I powered up, not using my Ikari form for now, not wanting a repeat of what had happened earlier, and punched him in the face. "Get your self together!" I shouted as he wiped the blood from his mouth.
"I said... use your full power don't hold back!" His arms bulged as he forced out a massive explosion which I countered with one of ki. To my surprise it out matched me in base. I was blasted back again bringing down a building on me, burying me in the rubble.
"Fuma!" Deku yelled as he shifted the rubble above me, my vision nothing but darkness.
"FIGHT DEKU!" I heard Bakugo yell as I powered up. The rubble around me started to float up off of me.
"REBELION SPEAR!" I thrust my hand forward blasting him in the chest, I was tapping into Ikari… but the power kept rising, and my mind became more and more clouded. 'No! Stay... in... CONTROL!' I managed to limit the power, but it was hard, bubbling, boiling under the surface. Burning me from the inside out. I rushed Bakugo slamming him into the ground getting him off of Deku.
"AAAAHHHH!" he blasted he over and over, each attack making it harder to keep in control. I grabbed the top of his head and slammed my knee into his chest over and over and over. He coughed up blood staining my shirt.
"FUMA! THAT'S ENOUGH!" I stopped at the sound of All Might's voice. I took a few breaths, calming down, my power falling. I fell to my hands and knees. Looking down at the busted frame of Bakugo.
"What... did... I..." I was fearing the worst until he sat up coughing up blood. "Oh thank god..."
Deku pulled me up to my feet, and hugged me close. "It's okay, it's okay."
"I'm so sorry Bakugo. As your teacher, I should have seen you suffering. I... I was too focused on Midoriya and Fuma's future... it isn't your fault that I lost my power. I have been getting weaker for years now. When I gave my Quirk to Midoriya it only accelerated it. This would have happened no matter what. As a hero... I should have done more. This is my fault... now you are hurt because of my inaction..." He pulled the blonde in for a hug.
"All Might..."
"I'm sorry Bakugo... that I couldn't save you."
Hey There. That got emotional. Time for sleep. And we are at... seven attempts at Buddha's life?
