I'll admit the pacing was really off in the last chapter. And I know I didn't do the scene the justice it deserves. But I feel that the original cannon version is the absolute version of it. Trying to add or remove from it would lessen the effect of it. It is a golden example of good writing. A level I hope to reach myself one day with my own story and characters. It is a monument to the storyteller that is Kohei Horikoshi.
"AAAAHHHH!" he blasted me 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."
Chapter 79: House Arrest
We arrived back at the dorms to find Aizawa waiting for us. "Tell me why I shouldn't expel the three of you on the spot?" He had a look that would kill even the mightiest of Saiyans. One that I could or would not look into.
"Aizawa, it was due to my negligence that this happened. Bakugo needed my help and I didn't see it, leading him to release his feelings on these two." All Might said, the frail hero stood between us, Bakugo looked away. "Don't be too harsh on them. And we need to take Bakugo to Recovery girl."
"I'm sorry..." I said, "He said that he wanted to fight... and I just let my Saiyan nature take over. This falls on all of us. I let my own power take control..."
The black haired hero sighed. "I'll take Bakugo to the nurses office. Recovery Girl is closing up right now. You three will be put under house arrest. Midoriya and Fuma will have three days and Bakugo will have four, now get to bed you two. During these days you will be working together cleaning the Dorm, inside and out. No Training or asking the others for notes on the day's lessons. Now get to bed problem kids." With that he took Bakugo away.
When we stepped inside I went to my room and went into the room throwing off my clothes and tossing them into a small pile by my bed before falling into it.
My alarm went off, I had gotten very little sleep. I rolled over and slapped the reinforced clock across to room to shut it off. I stretched as I got up and picked up a over sized shirt threw it over my underwear. I stepped out of the room and as the other girls were waking up. "Mhhmmmm Morning." I stretched out my arms.
"Morning Fuma..." Uraraka said as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes.
We made our way downstairs at our own paces. I threw two full bags of breakfast sausages in the oven and grabbed a jug of milk and a box of cereal. I sat down at the table and quickly emptied both. "I'll never understand you can eat so much." Momo said.
"Yeah, she can eat enough for an army on her own." Kirishima said as Deku and Bakugo came down, at the same time Aizawa arrived from his room.
"All right, everyone, due to them fighting and damaging school property, Fuma, Midoriya and Bakugo are on house arrest." Aizawa explained what happened. Well, the basics at least. "You are not allowed to share your class notes with them."
After a while they all left for class and we started to clean up. I was busy with wiping down the counters and tables while they cleaned the floors. They talked to each other as I did my own thing. 'These days are gonna pass by slowly aren't they?' I asked myself.
Everyday for the next three days we would clean the dorm, taking out the trash, cleaning the floors, washing the windows and anything else that was needed. I couldn't sneak out to train at all out side of doing it my own room. On the third day when we finished I stretched out and sighed. "MMMHAah… I am going to take a bath." I said as I put away the last of the cleaning supplies.
I headed up to the bath room and turned on the water and settled down in the steaming water, sighing as I relaxed. I let my head fall back closed my eyes. "I wonder what could have been brother? If we could have remained family?"
Late that night in a old warehouse a masked man lead a beak masked man in a green jacket. "So this is where we meet your friends." Chisaki said.
"Why yes, you will love them. They are the scum of the earth." Twice said as the two entered the warehouse.
"I hope so." Chisaki said as he stepped into the dim light. "The league of Villains."
Celron snarled as they looked at that man. "Something is off about him." Romne said. "I like it."
"Who is it that you have brought?" Shigaraki asked.
Mr. Compress answered. "I can tell you that, that is the young boss of the Yakuza branch Shei Hassaikai. A dying breed of criminals, hiring out to the larger villains to keep their groups afloat once All Might came onto the scene."
"Then what is it worth having him here?" Shigaraki asked.
"Simple, I have a plan while you only have a goal." Chiasaki held one hand in the other as he talked, his voice distorted by the large mask.
"Tsk." Celron stood to his full height towering over the smaller man even from a distance. "Remove the mask, the sound of your voice behind it is ticking me off."
"Sorry, I have it to keep the filth out. I rather keep my self from becoming sick. Given where you two are from, I would suggest you do the same." This took the leage of villains by surprise. How could he know that? "The last boss told me about the Dark Lord that ruled from the shadows All for One, to be honest I believed him to be a urban legend. So you can imagine my surprise when he appeared in Kamino ward in the flesh. Much less the appearance of more Saiyans."
Gonna finish that next time. It's past midnight here and while I have the day off tomorrow. So I'll end it here. Again, I'm sorry I mucked up the pacing in the last chapter.
