(Freedom)
'Too many people,' Todd thought blankly as he waited patiently along with the other examinees who kept coming to the front of the gigantic section D metal doors.
There were many people around Todd wearing different types of colorful outfits that caught his attention.
There was a guy who seemed to have a pair of springs instead of feet.
There was also a peculiar very dwarf boy who seemed to have grapes for hair who kept seeing some examined in very inappropriate places.
"Todd!" Fujimori called proliferating after spotting his two-legged headache among the others examined.
"Yes, I'm Todd" said Todd, looking expressionless towards Fujimori.
"What ar-No, better question. How the hell is someone like you, got to UA !?" Fujimori asked, squinting annoyed, stinging Todd's chest with a finger.
"Hmm ..."todd, still expressionless, just tilted his head towards Fujimori holding a hand to his chin, then snapped two fingers, ready to answer, started numbering with the fingers of one hand, "..., Well, it's really simple, i just ate all my vegetables 7 days a week, I did a lot exercise, I slept 8 hours a day, and I did a lot of yoga every morning after lunch with Dee- "
"Close your damn muzzle Dalmatian!", Silence Fujimori with several veins about to explode in his head, "I didn't mean that kibbles for brain!"
"Oh, well- wait a minute ..." exclaimed Todd narrowing his eyes at Fujimori, "... what did you call me?"
"I called you, kibbles for brains, Dalmatian" Fujimori replied returning his gaze to Todd.
'Hmm, where did I hear that before?' Todd thought, narrowing his eyes even more.
Suddenly his eyes widened with realization.
(Flashback no jutsu!)
"¡sensei! The strange foreign boy is peeing like a dog in the middle of the room!"
"Grrr, woof woff, this whole place is my territory from now on!"
Dimitri 1:
"Yes, what the boss said!"
Dimitri 2:
"This whole place is ours now!"
Dimitri 3:
"Give us all your food!"
(End of Flashback No Jutsu!)
'Good old days with the Dimitris ... but no, that wasn't it'
(... Starting the initiative: Flashback)
"... Do you want half my ham cake, Todd?"
Little 11-year-old Todd looks up in surprise from his lunch box, which some very bad kids had refilled with dog biscuits, and slowly but carefully takes half of the cake out of the girl's hands.
Little Todd sniffs half the ham cake until the strange female voice in his head confirms that it is safe to eat.
'You can eat it honey, nothing bad there, it's just a normal cake'
The covenant was sealed.
Little Todd now looks with fervent almost religious admiration at the girl his own age who only gave him the largest half of her ham cake.
No one in the classroom had ever shared human food with little Todd.
'Remember Todd, what do we say when someone does something nice for us ...'
"...thank you, "little Todd whispers and nods in gratitude, he still remains expressionless, but he still vows with his life to follow this girl absolutely everywhere as a second shadow while removing the lettuce from his part of the ham cake .. ., and put a few doy biscuits inside.
They don't taste so bad.
"Look guys! Fujimori likes the dog boy!"
"What !? That's not true! Stop making fun of me. Todd kibble brain give me back my-!"
Little Todd turns his back on her and quickly shoves his entire half of the ham cake with both hands into his small mouth, and proceeds to swallow without chewing, then turns to see the girl straight in the eye with his always expressionless face, and asks, "... What cake?"
(..ending the initiative: Flashback)
"You are ...", Todd looks at Fujimori from head to toe, seeing an imaginary version of the same but smaller side, "..., Futanari?"
"IS, FU-"
'Quick Doug!'
* Magnetic pow *
"-JIMORI!" Fujimori yelled, sending Todd blown up with a punch to the metal door. "Stop calling me Futanari, Dalmatian! Do you even know what that means !?"
All the examinees present stopped doing what they were doing, and watched with growing fear as Todd's body seemed to sink into the metal.
'Tell him to do it again!''Wohoo! That was amazing! ''Other! other! other! other!'
Three hyperactive canine triplets in Todd's inner world were barking more than excited at the prospect that Todd had just been thrown like a rag doll onto a metal wall.
"Huh ...", even with that, Todd's expression did not seem to change at all from his expressionless being as he proceeded to unburden himself very easily from the metal, brushed off any dust that his shirt and pants might have caught and returned quietly next to Fujimori. "... Glad to see you again Fujimori"
"... I can't say that the feeling is mutual, Dalmatian," Fujimori resignedly sighed with a shrug, "... I really thought I dumped you in high school."
Todd just shrugged unaffected by Fujimori's words, "You thought badly then, the UA director was the one who recommended me to this place, I wanted to return to London"
"Eh?" Fujimori blinked, looking Todd up and down without believing what she had just heard, "Dalmatian, did you mention that, t-the director of the UA himself, the most prestigious school in Japan for future aspiring professional superheroes, recommended Someone like, well ... you !? "
Todd nodded in confirmation, but just as he was about to speak, Presenter Mic very excitedly made his announcement from the roof of one of the observation towers.
"Okay, get started!"
'¡Trigger Word!'
That was all that Todd Dalmatian needed and expected to hear, ever since he came to this section of the tests, and the words center and battle decided to have a baby and very lovingly call it battle center D.
¡Release!
A simple unspoken mental command was put into action within the inner world of the Boy known by the name of Todd Dalmatian.
A large red wooden door of an anomalous nature that was the only existing limit that separated two worlds was fully opened inside.
From this, various canine-looking creatures were released in a tidal wave of waging tails and childish laughter.
Leading the front of the 101 spotted dogs, previously contained in Todd's inner world, was Delgado Dalmatian, being the fastest of his relatives, he had white fur with black spots characteristic of his species. his right ear being pointed with a small cut, his left ear having a round tip and being black on the right side. It has two black marks on its front paws that resemble half.
once the majority of the dogs were free of all restrictions to use their Quirks, a second mental order, the most important, ran through the hive mind that they had transformed into when they left all of them.
The order was;
"Have fun!" Todd exclaimed, losing his expressionlessness for a few moments, While under his clothes the tonality of his skin began to darken with patterns of dark spots that traveled with an Indomitable nature throughout his body, until two dogs decided to position themselves on each of his shoulders.
"Are you ready Dee dee !?"
"All systems ready Dizzy!"
Quickly the spots distributed all over Todd's very pale skin quickly positioned themselves on his face and fingers down to his knuckles, giving him the appearance that he had a raccoon mask and a pair of gloves.
This subsequently caused Todd to become stronger and luckier.
This proved to be true when Todd propelled himself through the robot of a '1 point', and started without any apparent effort the minigun that he had in one of his arms, to later use said minigun in a '2 points' .
the barrage of bullets continued rapidly, causing the '2 points' armor to open and end up exploding, when its delicate circuitry was exposed to the world.
"That's 3 points for us Dizzy!"
"Yes, we are super strong Dee dee!"
Todd ignored the festive celebration of both cubs as their eyes traveled rapidly from left to right in search of a second minigun for their left arm.
"8 points already here!" Quickly a blur of black and white passed by Todd and commented competitively towards Dizzy and Dee dee.
"That's not fair! Delgado is cheating!"
"You're right Dee dee, Delgado is too fast!", Dizzy commented a bit annoyed seeing how Delgado seemed to be running around a 3 points and disarming him alone, "Quick Todd, Dee dee, we have to hurry if not we are going to stay in the last place!"
Todd only nodded in confirmation of Dizzy's request, stopping to search for a second minigun and running towards a '2 point' to later destroy it.
This behavior of hitting something until it stops moving continued for a few more seconds.
The others examined could only observe very puzzled as the large number of non-combatant talking puppies quickly picked up the pieces left behind by the robots previously neutralized by Todd, and left them around two cubs, one larger than the other.
"Hurry up with whatever you want to do Dawkins, remember we only have 10 minutes!"
"You think I don't know Dylan! I just need another 3-point motherboard!"
"Is that all you need?"
the little puppy known as Dawkins nodded in affirmation to the question, "yes, but from what I can see they are extremely delicate and sit too close to my liking for the backup unit" with that said, he proceeded to dive into new to the stack of parts that followedarriving, "if you are looking for one for me, remember to be extremely delicate when transporting it, and do not hold it with your mouth, they are not approved of saliva"
"Okay Dawkin!" Dylan nodded, taking off down the street in search of a '3 Point', "ashh where they are, where they are, Aha!"
Dylan quickly ran in the direction of Where a '3 point' and two '2 point' were being swallowed up by the ground.
"And that's 100!" exclaimed very cheerfully a small and stained head that shot through the concrete without any difficulty, then proceeded to turn in the direction of his work and bowed his head in slight confusion, "Oh, it's 7? "
Dylan watched with blank eyes as how the little Disel returned to earth again.
"Never change Disel" Dylan sighed and denied, as he jumped on the disabled '3 points' and there would be a panel located nearby on the machine head.
"Aha!" And sure enough, his eyes quickly made out the motherboard, which was located where Dawkins had previously informed him.
Quickly, but carefully, he stretched his front paws inside the machine to proceed to disconnect and cut the cables attached to it, and with a slight growl he took it off without damaging it.
"Wow, that was more laborious than I thought it would be, I hope I haven't damaged it" Dylan exclaimed as he checked the card on his front legs for possible cracks.
his eyes widened in concern, "huh ...?", when the shadow of a '2 point' snapped behind him, "oh, kibbles," Dylan exclaimed, closing his eyes and his ears falling in preparation for the impact that surely would reach the '2 points'.
"Hmm?" It was when nothing happened, that he opened his eyes again, and turned, "... Dolly? What are you doing up there?"
"I have a better question for you bro, what are you doing down there?"
dylan shrugged, showing Dolly the '3 points' motherboard, "only retrieving pieces for Dawkins, and you?"
Dolly shrugged a few pats at '2 points', "Meh, I discovered in company with the Dimitris that these silly giant garbage cans have an off button," she reported, "by the way, how many points have you got so far on the Egghead team? "
"For the last time Dolly ...", Dylan rolled his eyes annoyed as he dropped the motherboard, but before it's hitting the ground he began to float beside her in a small bubble of pure condensed light.
"... We are the support team, and very soon we will have a lot of points"
Dolly huffed, rolling eyes and jumping down the '2 points', "Whatever you say brother, I'm coming back with the cool team. Don't expect me to save your tail again," with that said, both teenage Dalmatians took off heading towards their respective teams.
Dolly went in the direction where three heavily spotted canine triplets were excitedly eating like starving termites whole to a '1 point'.
"* BURRPP! *"
while Dylan hurriedly went back to where Dawkins, and a female Dalmatian with a pink scarf as a necklace, various stains painted in different colors around her fur, and seemed to be changing the typically green hue of the armored metal, to a white color. anywhere their paws make contact.
"Dawkins!" Dylan called, causing the head of said pup known as Dawkins to shoot out with both ears held high, "I have what you asked for!"
Dawkins watched with great satisfaction as a bubble of pure solid light approached in his direction, inside him; the motherboard of a '3 points' in good condition.
"You have my thanks Dylan" Dawkins agreed when the '3 points' motherboard was deposited in his very capable front legs, "... now just wait a few seconds while I take care of installing it, and very soon we will be more than ready to take the first place"
"5 minutes left!"
Meanwhile, with Fujimura.we could see Fujimori running, doing everything possible to achieve to gain some points by destroying various Robots with his Quirk of magnetism, she would simply raise a hand, and transform it into a fist, anything of metal that was close to her range it would begin to compress on itself until it was nothing more than an amorphous metal ball."... Damn it," Fujimori annoyed sighs, lowering his arms, observing how the streets around him were full of spotted dogs everywhere they rode, and on some occasions, they even dismantled multiple robots in some way.
She never expected that someone like the Dog Boy was hiding a quirk like this.
That being said, she knew to some extent that it was Todd's quirk, the same responsible for the fact that Todd will behave on various occasions like nothing more than an untrained dog.
sniffing his food many times before deciding whether or not to eat it was one of the first clues she managed to spot when she met him.
The second was the almost irrational fear of chocolate and glucose.
The third was the custom of marking territory.
..., Having a territory to mark could also be the fourth by itself.
And the fifth and last, unconsciously chasing after any stranger who had shown him a little kindness.
Of the latter it was that unfortunately she met Todd.
She still remembers it.
She had just been transferred to a new school, and she planned to befriend as quickly as possible with the cutest and smartest boy or girl in the entire school.
then, she saw him ..., alone, sitting in the last seat, away from all the other students, staring blankly at how his lunch box had been unfairly vandalized, straight white hair, a face that remained expressionless like that of a doll porcelain, sole heir to the Fortune of the very eccentric billionaire Dodie Smith, first place in all school settings.
Todd Dalmata Smith.
So, with that in mind, Fujimori made the very serious mistake at the time of rushing and letting herself be carried away by appearances, he approached the pretty boy that was Todd, and very kindly offered him part of his lunch.
then, as the only apparently logical result, she gained a pretty and loyal stalker who followed her everywhere.
That was the most embarrassing and annoying experience that she remembers.
She did her best to get rid of Todd from then on, reaching the point of joining even the specific group of students who were in charge of tormenting him.
throwing his things into the water, ruining his notes, even going so far as to guide him to dark alleys where his tormentors would take care of hitting him ..., she allowed herself to do so many despicable things only to separate herself as humanly as possible from the dog boy.
..But it was all fruitless, Todd would simply close his eyes and remain unreacted every time he realized he was led into a trap where he would be brutally beaten by multiple people.
They would hit and insult Todd in every way possible.
but Todd would not allow himself to react violently, since from that moment when someone decided that it would be a good idea to hit him, Fujimori realized, Todd himself would decide for himself that it was a good time to meditate.
And meditating was what he did.
Then they would keep hitting and insulting him !, looking to get some kind of reaction.
but Todd would not give them any kind of reaction, and he would continue meditating in complete and absolute peace with everything around him, oblivious to anything else that would try to disturb him or get him out of his meditative state.
then the point would come at which his torturers would naturally tire, or surrender and stop beating or insulting him, instead opting instead to retreat.
It was when his peace was not seeking to be disturbed any more, that Todd finally opened his eyes ..., and the frown with some tears in origin of Fujimori was all he could find in that now lonely and dark alley.
Todd replied with a frown with a small smile, and then silently accompanied Fujimori back home.
That same day, while she reflected on what had happened in that alley ..., she decided that she would be a heroin by profession.
she vowed never in her life to allow herself to drop so low again simply to get rid of the loser that was the dog boy.
¡A total and complete loser!
That was all that Todd Dalmata Smith was in the eyes of Fujimori Akido and many others.
and this only proved it even more.
Because only one of the biggest and most stupid losers on the planet would let them treat him that way in that alley, when apparently he always had the means at his entire disposal to present a more than convincing defense to stop all kinds of aggression in itsagainst.
Where were all these stupid dogs when all that was happening to Todd?
Why did Todd never mention to her that this was his Quirk?
From what, why, or even from whom would be he hiding them?
What changed from this moment now in the UA tests ?, to the previous one in the secondary where Todd tried and failed not to attract much attention?
and it was then, when the true and only question was born from the depth of the little understanding that Fujimori had in relation to the true passive nature of Todd.
"Who ...?" she asked no one specifically, her eyes capturing carefully as Todd accompanied by two small and very happy puppies joined on his shoulders he was launching himself without any apparent inivision in a wild way from one robot to another.
It was similar to what it would be like to observe one of the many forces of nature.
Absolutely everything went through him, metal and concrete did not matter in front of him.
Because there was no difference at all.
everything would fall before the passage of the absolute storm of stains that Todd had given the freedom to act.
It was like being located in the center of the eye of a hurricane from Fujimori's point of view, all the dogs seemed to have agreed to make a maximum effort to avoid her specifically, as if only she, among all the others examined, was plagued by fleas ..., or It was made of pure chocolate.
Fujimori snorted at that, if these dogs knew or had any idea how she used to treat Todd in high school ... then she didn't care or be surprised at all if all these stupid dogs wanted to avoid her.
but the most important question still prevails for Fujimori Akido.
"... Who was the idiot who unleashe Todd?", Ended up asking out loud, and proceeded to take off again looking for more points.
Meanwhile, with the teachers ...
"Principal, are you, uh, completely sure it was a good idea to free young Todd from all his restraints," Toshinori commented after swallowing a considerable amount of saliva, as he and the other teachers watched as Section D was quickly running out of robots.
It had only been 5 minutes since that part of testing started!
5 minutes and was all that the young man in the company of his 98 dogs needed to raze, bury, dismantle, deactivate, neutralize, and destroy an exaggerated number of robots in his path.
Hell, there was a specific dog that was as far away from his relatives as possible and did nothing but preach and babble to the skies about the end of the world and the apocalypse of machines ..., and that seemed to be more than enough so that everything around him will start to fail and explode.
It did not help at all to reassure some teachers that the dog seemed to be enjoying perhaps a little too much the whole scenario of the end of the world around him.
"Hmm ... why would you think something like that Toshinori?" Director Nezu exclaimed perplexed, looking away from the multiple screens for a few moments, "The entire purpose of this specific part of the tests is that we can measure the entire ingenuity and capacity of each examinee individually in a possible situation of chaos, asking one to hold back when using his Quirk would be really unfair and dangerous "
."I, ..." Toshinori held up a finger ready to protest a little more, but then reflected a little more on the situation of the young man examined Todd and his background.
the discovery of a cargo ship of the company De Vil Gen washed up in international waters, 5 years ago quickly came to his mind.
What the press and civilians knew about that specific incident was that the cargo ship was absolutely abandoned when it was found.
However, what the public did know was that within the remains of that ship, the corresponding authorities found numerous evidence that within it human beings were being experimented and trafficked.
the core of all that research still manages to sneak into Toshinori's most recurring nightmares.
A video especially where he in the company of some investigators, observed in a state of absolute shock as they tortured a small child to open some type of door.
The door.
once the child had suffered enough torture and opened the door, some doctors would quickly proceed to insert with a pair of pliers what looked like human fetuses inside the door to study how they interacted inside the door.
But ...
... the things that would come out of the other side of the door to this day manage to bring a primordial sense of pure disgust to Toshinori.
They were creatures made from Cancer in its purest and maximum expression.
And, if the security camera recordings managed to reveal anything ... it was that only two specific people inside that cargo ship still had some humanity within them.
an adult woman and a chief of guards, both tasked with watching over Todd's well-being when he wasn't being tortured, seemed to be the only ones who cared or showed a little kindness for the poor boy.
They were also the only two that still appear to have survived when the creatures cast from Cancer that were being harvested in that cargo ship by forcing the opening of a wooden door ..., managed to escape with their respective cages with complete success and merged again with Todd.
the geneticist and the guard, still appear to some to be somehow now part of Young Todd's Quirk, when they both, in a final effort, sacrificed themselves by throwing themselves loaded with lots of samples of dog's DNA, and managed to purge successfully to the abomination of pure... meat ... that the boy had transformed.
So ..., the door and Todd began a slow process of healing and purging when they both checked in, and accepted the unforced DNA inside of them.
What All Migth, the number 1 hero of Japan, current symbol of peace, found in that cargo ship ... was just a little expressionless boy snuggled between two adult dogs that did everything to protect him from the cold.
Then Toshinori knew it.
He had been too late.
the villains had won that time, young Todd had become what De Vil Gen's company had sought so much to transform him.
Project Cerberus number 73 #: had been a complete success.
It was then that Toshinori understood why Director Nezu had released young Todd from all his restrictions for this specific part of the tests.
They needed to see how far the young man controlled his Quirk ..., and how much power the Quirk himself had over the young man.
only now did he notice how Aizawa, another one of the few to know everything about the projects cerberus, seemed to be watching very closely and carefully each of the dogs and their respective peculiarities.
"... have something else to say Toshinori "asked director Nezu without stopping to see the screens.
"... No, Director Nezu," Toshinori sighed, turning his attention back to the screens.
As much as he wanted to pay his full attention to young Midoriya, The Project Cerberus was a latent danger too big for not watch closely.
For now, all he had to do was trust.
(Change of point of view)
The feeling of being Free.
It was a feeling that didn't matter how intensely Todd would look for him ... it would always manage to get away.
so many restrictions, so many rules, so many negatives, and so many consequences ... all of that was just too annoying.
'But here!'
In his new favorite place, there was no restriction of any kind for him and his beloved puppies.
He could feel in his absolute totality, all 98 dogs, he could feel them enjoying themselves without any concern.
Disel: He was digging more than humans had ever allowed him.
Dawkins and Dylan: At last they had an optimal raw material to build all kinds of things that their incredible imagination gave them to invent.
DJ: You had finally met his favorite professional hero, Presenter Mic.
dimitri 1, 2, and 3: They were enjoying themselves in their purest and most innocent way of destroying robots, and meanwhile being as loud as they could be, with absolutely no one to complain about it.
Delgado: As fast and playful as only he can. He is so happy and excited to finally feel what it was like to break his current speed record.
Dante: Heh ... The apocalypse of the machines had finally arrived !, just as he predicted. He now had a front row seat to see it.
Dizzy and Dee dee: Both inseparable sisters were enjoying the little piggyback ride Todd was giving them on his shoulders.
This ...
"Why are you crying Todd?" Dizzy exclaimed confused from her right shoulder, "We can still win!"
He was ..., crying?
"Dizzy is right, Todd," added the ever-cheerful Dee dee, nodding from her left shoulder, "We just have to try twice as hard and we can beat Delgado!"
Todd quickly brushed away his tears, and nodded, determined to give them the victory, "you are right ... Dizzy, Dee dee," he stated, "... We can still win."
Dizzy's ears snapped up and he pointed with his paw at one of the streets to Todd's left, "Quick Todd! There are three points to our left."
Todd quickly turned to his left, where a '3 point' was searching for targets, and ran without any direct care to him.
Just as the shoulder-mounted cannons of the '3 points' were positioned in his direction, Todd jumped up and dropped onto it.
Before the '3 points' could do anything to shake off Todd, said Todd easily pierced the robot's head with his right fist.
Causing it to be disabled.
It was just luck that it didn't explode in their faces and snouts.
"How many points do we have with that now, Dee dee, Dizzy?" Asked Todd with a smile, as he unclasped his arm effortlessly from the robot.
"" We've have 35! "" Dee dee and Dizzy reported cheerfully.
Todd nodded very happily and stroked the ears behind them both, "Very well you two," he congratulated, bleeding with pride, "I see that you two still have better eyes than I do for the numbers."
Dizzy laughed a little, enjoying the caress, "It tickles."
Todd laughed a little, and stopped stroking the two puppies to put both hands in the pockets of his black raincoat, and remove something that quickly caused both puppies to start shaking their tails even more ...
"And just for being so good, I seriously think that you two deserve a nice, and delicious treat," said Todd, as he pulled out two brown bone-shaped cookies from both pockets, and held them up high enough for both puppies to take.
Curiously, both cookies had the names of both puppies printed on them.
Both puppies did not hesitate for an instant to reach their respective cookies with their snouts and eat them.
"" Yay! ""
Todd scoffed a little, shaking his head and proceeding to jump from the remains of the disabled '3-point'.
He kept running from one place to another, sporadically stopping his game of collecting points as soon as his many eyes managed to catch and warn him that somewhere else an examinee had some serious problem of some kind, or had been trapped under the debris that would usually begin to fall when a '3 point' triggered the shoulder-mounted missile launchers.
It was while helping an examinee out from under a few rocks that they had managed to trap that examinee in an unfavorable location that something very strange and peculiar managed to get their attention.
This strangeness had the same appearance as The Intelligent Machine: Blade Wolf, from Metal Gear Rising
And he was turning his chainsaw tail from side to side, while jumping from wall to wall and easily taking multiple '1-point' and '2-point' robots everywhere.
"" Whoa "" Dizzy and Dee dee were also quite surprised by the lupine-looking robot, which on all fours was heading all the way to where they were.
"..huh? ", Todd just tilted his head a little more than puzzled, when the strange white Blade Wolf copy turned his neck to look at him specifically.
It was only when Blade Wolf started to run even faster in his direction that Todd reacted accordingly, by proceeding to raise both arms, quickly taking a stance and preparing to battle this strange lupine-looking machine.
It was just as he was about to deliver the first blow, that Blade Wolf dodged him by rising with a twist on his head, and cutting in half to a '1 point' that was just pointing his gun in his direction, swinging his chainsaw tail.
"Eh ...," Todd blinked even more puzzled, not knowing exactly what had just happened.
When Blade Wolf turned in his direction again, it was that Todd didn't know exactly whether to take up a fighting stance ..., or give one of his many prizes to the robot dog.
Now Blade Wolf sat across from him, and Todd leaned in to take a closer look at the strange, deadpan wolf-shaped machine.
Wait ...
... Wolf?
It was then that Todd leaned a little closer to the machine, and proceeded to sniff her closer, Dizzy and Dee dee quickly followed suit, both puppies leaning a little from Todd's shoulders.
Dee dee:
"... Dylan?"
Dizzy:
"... Dawkins?"
It was just as both puppies mentioned the names of their siblings, that a few plates on Blade Wolf's chest were flipped open from left to right to reveal that two cubs were manning him.
dylan seemed to be connected to multiple devices that seemed to be continuously supplying Blade Wolf with power, while Dawkins on the other hand seemed to just be positioned a little lower than Dylan, having a holographic visor covering his eyes and a controller with many buttonsand levers on its legs."Hey Todd," Dylan quickly waved his tail, "look what Dawkins and I managed to do with the pieces you and the puppies left behind!"
"I ... I see," said Todd, quite surprised by the machine in front of him, "it's quite incredible," he exclaimed, as he ran a hand through the lupine-looking machinery, feeling it, "did you and Dawkins really do all this in so little time? "
Dawkins, very proud, quickly nodded from his place raising his holographic visor, "Precisely Todd, I already had the plans created and memorized before we even had the knowledge that we would fight against this specific type of enemies", He shrugged, "with all that, the only thing I really needed was to collect the indicated pieces and put them all together as only I know "
"It was to be expected," Todd proudly nodded, giving both puppies a smile, "Only someone as incredibly smart as you two, Dawkins, Dylan, could create something so great, and in such a short time too!" He applauded, proceeding to stretch both arms to show his affection to both puppies.
Both cubs closed their eyes and gladly accepted the show of affection.
"Yes! Dawkins and Dylan are very smart!" Dizzy and Dee dee cheered cheerfully.
"yes they are, Dizzy, Dee dee," Todd agreed, nodding, caressing both puppies to reach for two bone-shaped biscuits inside his raincoat, "and that kind of awesomeness deserves a prize accordingly "
Dawkins and Dylan's tails quickly perked up even more than they already were when both pups managed to identify the bone-shaped cookies presented in front of their snouts.
"Wait," Dylan stopped, and shot Todd a glance, "we just get one for doing all this?"
"Hmm." Todd put a hand to his chin, "well, if I give each of you two, it would mean that one of the other puppies would be left without a prize, don't you think that would be unfair to them, Dylan?"
"Oh, uh," Dylan lowered his head, "yeah, I guess you're right but, come on, Dawkins and I work really hard on this, couldn't you give us something else? "
Todd thought a little, glancing away and scratching the back of his neck, "How about, eh, uh, we discussed it after this is over. I promise to have something ready for both then, what do you think of that?" he asked hopefully.
"Do you promise?" Dylan asked narrowing his eyes at Todd.
Todd nodded, "promise."
"Okay," Dawkins exclaimed below Dylan, "Dylan and I will take our respective awards now, and another when this trial has already been completed."
todd denied and sighed as he gave his prizes back to both puppies, "yhea, take it, someday you two will end up leaving me with nothing, I just know"
Dee dee laughed:
"Todd is very weak, Dizzy!"
dizzy agreed with her sister playfully assisting: "We should ask him for more things for the next Dee dee"
Todd shot Dylan and Dawkins an ugly look, as if saying, "Look what the two of you just provoked."
Dylan and Dawkins broke out in a sweat, and Dylan was the first to speak, "eh, hehe, well we've got to get going, bye bye! Close the floodgates for yesterday Dawkins!"
Dawkins quickly nodded and with the press of a button, the plates located on Blade Wolf's chest snapped shut, then the robot wolf turned around and took off in a random direction down the street away from Todd.
Dizzy:
"Can we have another biscuit too, Todd?"
Dee dee:
"pretty please"
Puppy eyes, Todd's only known weakness.
Todd sighed, 'you were right, Dizzy, Dee dee ...,' and after thinking for a moment, he simply took another dog biscuit out of his raincoat.
he watch her for a few minutes.
Todd
It had his name.
this was just for him, he had sweet juicy bits of meat with some organic compounds that melt on the palate with a burst of flavor at the end, '... I'm still too weak'
And he broke it into two equal parts.
"Take ...", He gave each half of his cookie to the puppies on his shoulders, "... I can always do more when we get home anyway" he sighed sadly.
"¡Less than 2 minutes left!"
Todd looked bored up at the tower where presenter Mic had just made his announcement.
He sighed noticing the lack of robots around him, "I guess we lost against Delgado, Dizzy, Dee dee", he no longer really wanted to continue collecting points after losing his prize delight.
Dizzy:
"Don't worry Todd, we'll win next time, isn't it, Dee dee?"
dee dee:
"yes Dizzy, next time nobody will have a chance against us"
Todd smiled and quickly shook the heads of both puppies, "Rest assured, Dizzy, Dee dee, next time we will be much stronger and we will beat him," he said, as he lowered both puppies to the ground.
"You can join your brothers now if you want, I will only stay here for the rest of the test and wait for it to end"
"Are you sure Todd," asked Dizzy, sitting on the street in front of Todd.
everyone leaned in and nodded with a confident smile on his face, "Yes, I just want to be notified if they find a zero point, it's a shame i-"
"¡EVERYONE RUN FOR THEIR LIVES!" Dante quickly emerged from an alley in a swift escape past Todd, Dizzy and Dee dee.
followed by that, the ground in the whole area where Todd, Dizzy and Dee dee were start shaking.
"Huh, how curious ...," exclaimed Todd suddenly as he and the puppies looked around and returned to where Dante had left in total debauchery, "...this is the first time that we actually have a record of Dante causing something on the level of an earthquake "
Suddenly Dizzy and Dee dee's ears shot up, and they turned to see that he had caught their attention behind Todd's back.
what they saw ... left both puppies speechless.
A colossal '0 point' robot was making its way through the buildings.
Todd kept looking in the direction where Dante left, quite ignorant of the machine of titanic proportions behind him.
"" Todd, turn around, "" Dee dee and Dizzy exclaimed in perfect synchronicity, both ears drooping, feeling logical fear at the machine that would maliciously mount on them.
"Hmm, what is the- ... Oooh ~", Todd turned, and what he saw left him ... extremely pleased.
he was like an ant to this mighty titan of metal and destruction, faced with a challenge like that, Todd could only afford to respond accordingly.
"Mommy robot finally decides to make her epic entrance," Todd scoffed, raising both arms and starting to jump on the ground with the emotion of facing such a titanic enemy.
With this enemy, he really feels like he can finally free in his 101%.
'remember Todd, the puppies come first'
But first, he had to think about the cubs, so that his very latent emotion calmed for a few moments, in order to transmit a message to Dizzy and Dee dee, who were more than afraid of the enemy of titanic proportions in front of them.
"Dizzy, Dee dee" Todd calmly called both puppies, also proceeding to take off his raincoat, and while he was folding it, it was that he continued; "I need you both to retire, now, and let your brothers and sisters know to stay as far away from this robot as possible."
Dizzy and Dee dee shared an unsure look, "but, Todd ... mom and dad told us not to let you fight alone," Dee dee exclaimed in concern.
Todd scoffed a little, "don't worry ..."
Quickly with a wave of his hand he removed his buttoned shirt, showing both puppies that the pale spots on their skin were beginning to travel and distort to cover various parts of their body.
three moles on each cheek, positioned just below the large raccoon mask-shaped spot that covered a pair of eyes that strangely carried purple circles, even though they did not denote any fatigue.
His left arm now seemed to be completely black up to his elbow.
On his right shoulder, the constellation Major Hound quickly formed.In the center of his chest, he quickly found himself totally blackened by a symbol that resembled ying and yang, a symbol that typically describes the two opposite and complementary fundamental forces found in all things.
his typically white hair also quickly began to generate small spots that spread wildly throughout it.
It was then that his right arm rose at sonic speed, and the constellation Canis Major soon began to glow.
*!¡PooM!¡ *
An entirely dome casts solid light, it quickly appeared around Todd and the two cubs, fully ready to catch the blow that the '0 point' had thrown at them.
the concrete underneath them quickly cracked everywhere, multiple buildings began to fall one after another the moment the '0 point' decided to break through them for the purpose of delivering a finishing blow to both Todd and the two little puppies that followed himlooking completely impressed.
"... Always remember very well, Dizzy, Dee dee" called a smiling Todd, his fatherly voice, totally and completely calm and devoid of any sign of stress, even with his right arm over his head, he continued with more emotion, " ... Todd Dalmata Smith will never fight alone "
Dizzy and Dee dee quickly felt it, their connection to Todd.
Stronger than ever before.
The feeling Todd always liked to mention to them he was looking for, Freedom.
They felt it, Todd, in these precise moments, felt completely free.
no restriction, no consequence ... only the freedom he had so long sought to act in its entirety.
The words were no longer necessary, Dizzy and Dee dee began to withdraw with their other brothers.
Todd wasn't fighting alone, he brought all of them with him this time.
This was Todd showing him his 101% for the first time.
Todd watched as both puppies set off through the extremely cracked streets of Battle Center D.
Only just as he lost sight of them ... did a tiny drop of blood escape from the inside of his left ear and nose.
'..It hurts,' he thought to himself, as he brushed off the blood with his left arm and watched her.
Pain
This was what would usually be the main problem Todd would encounter when he tried to combine his puppies' Quirks, and incompatibilities arose.
the most obvious example would be Deepack's Quirk and Dawkins's.
While Deepack's Quirk relied primarily on maintaining a calm mind.
Dawkins' would usually require just the opposite, requiring at all times that said bearer of the quirk was trying to connect everything around him, whether or not it was possible.
Now that Todd was using them at 101 at the same time, his brain and body were overloading at an alarming rate, trying to give meaning and purpose to so many Quirks together.
but ...
Something felt strange.
'Wait ... hundred ... one?' Todd wondered, mentally surprised. he only had a hundred cubs.
¡Dorothy!
This was weird for Todd, the puppies' quirks used to show up at the same time as their spots, and the last time he checked it out, Dorothy still didn't have any around her pure white fur.
'..but, she's still too young, how can she be- '
* Ba-Dum * * Ba-Dum *
It was then that Todd ... really felt what having Power really meant.
Power, energy, Chi, Ki, life force, cosmos, etc., everything was running wild and free through his blood and veins.
connecting, modifying, uniting, understanding, destroying ... everything was becoming one.
The door inside Todd had never been so open to the world.
The number 73 #, quickly formed from dark, throbbing veins in his back.
In another place within the UA facilities, two people felt an almost familiar resonance with what is happening now.
somewhere in Japan, as hidden as humanly possible from hero society, a faceless man gave one of his most sinister laughter, and continued it more than he had ever done before.
It was then that Todd raised his left hand in front of his face, watching her closely.
Then he turned to see everything around him.
Everything moved extremely slow, the gigantic robot in front of him, now looked so insignificant.
EVERYTHING around him now looked so insignificant.
his headache was completely gone. The incompatible Quirks within him were in total and complete harmony.
"... Huh?" Todd exclaimed scratching from behind his neck, not knowing exactly how to react to what had just happened, "This ... this is certainly something, er ... new?"
Seeing nothing better to do, Todd decided to bend over just to pick up a small piece of stone from the ground, and drop it, only to observe with slight curiosity how the piece of stone was still suspended in midair when he released it.
"... Hehe," Todd laughed, as he stood still, still looking slightly amused as the rock, from his point of view seemed to completely break the laws of gravity.
after a few more moments of continuing to stare at the falling rock, an idea entered his head, after evaluating how fast it should be moving in these moments.
He quickly rifled something in his back pockets with his right hand.
And took out a black down.
then he uncovered the black down.
A wicked smile quickly began to emerge on his face. There was something he always wanted to do.
But before he had to check that he would not get in trouble. Towards that he closed his eyes and concentrated on the inner world that resided within him.
'..doug? ..., Delilah ?, hey, is there someone in there? ', Todd called mentally, expecting to hear the characteristic loving voice of his first invocations in response.
'Ba Ba! Trrupp! ''... Dorothy !? Daughter of my heart, what do you keep doing inside me so lonely !? ''Ba va, trrupp, bu biu''Ooh ... well, you should start to be much more careful with that, I know that you are very excited to try your milk teeth, but you must understand that it is very rude and in bad taste to chew your brothers' things without their expressed permission ''Ba ba!''Don't lie to me, little lady, I know from personal experience that Dawkins would never let anyone chew on his clever gadgets ... believe me, I really know, they are just too volatile''... Baa ba trrup''Ooh Dorothy, please don't say that ... you hurt me so much, you should already know that I love all of you equally''... Ba ba?''Yes Dorothy !, I don't care at all if you were the last or the first, you will always have a special place in my heart!''Baa baaaa!'
'Dorothyyyy!' Todd's prey for eyes quickly broke into a sea of tears, as he nodded, 'Get out with your ba ba so we can do mischief together!'
Then, Todd excitedly stretched out his arms, and quickly a very tender and small spotless dalmatian puppy began to form from the residual ether between both worlds.
Said cub quickly shot literally at the speed of light towards the face of him weeping slime.
Todd received a literal blank bullet at the speed of light directly into his weeping face.
He instinctively quickly made a protective ball around the cub as they both rolled at impossible speed through the already cracked streets.
When they both stopped rolling on the ground and hit a wall, Todd noted something very important about Dorothy's fur.
"Whoa !, Dorothy!" Todd exclaimed extremely excited, as you saw him get up from the crater that he and Dorothy had formed when they both hit a wall, "You got your first spot!"
"Ba ba?" Dorothy exclaimed confused, tilting her head to the side.
Indeed, La Mancha was a very small one, but without a doubt, Todd was able to quickly spot it on the little puppy's forehead when she pulled it away from her face to see it better from the front.
"Ooh, look at your little spot Dorothy," Todd lulled softly, as I took a closer look at her.
"Ba ba!" Dorothy, sensing the closeness of Todd's face, quickly stretched out her front paws to playfully touch him everywhere.
Todd just smiled and giggled a little as she felt Dorothy's curious front legs explore her face everywhere. She seemed to be really curious about the spots that were currently running over almost her entire face and body.
Then she remembered. This was in fact the first time Dorothy saw her use her Quirk in this way.
"Pretty impressive, isn't it Dorothy?" Todd exclaimed, Dorothy still exploring her face, "all these spots that are now on my body are from all your brothers and sisters who are lending me all their power, look ...", then he turned a little to point at the bright constellation of the major dog still present on his right shoulder, "do you know who this one belongs to?"
Dorothy bowed her head for a few moments, observing with childish amazement the specific spot with the pattern similar to that of the constellation canyon major.
The image of one of her older brothers lighting up a terrifying night in which the light was quickly gone appeared in her mind.
"Wy-ban!"
"You're right Dorothy!" Todd agreed as he stroked Dorothy, "this is from Dylan, now a more difficult one ..."
(30 minutes later = 0.0030 seconds)
"Alright Dorothy I think that's enough," Todd exclaimed as he rose from the ground, with Dorothy now resting on her head.
Todd nodded to himself, and simply watched as everything around him kept moving extremely slow.
Then he remembered what he was supposed to do before Dorothy kept him company.
"Hey Dorothy," Todd called out to the little cub on his head, while still looking around, "Do you want to help your Baba paint funny things on the faces of some humans?"
Dorothy thought a bit before answering.
"... Ba ba bro brrup brrupp?" Dorothy's answer to Todd's question came.
"Oh, come on!", Sighed Todd, "I will only make a couple of mustaches and monocles, that will not disfigure them for life, you know what I would give to have a mustache, or that one of your brothers had a Quirk to make them grow "
"... Ba bba?"
"Everything, Dorothy, I would give EVERYTHING for having a mustache," replied Todd, narrowing his eyes, "the Dimitris and I have tried to do everything possible to grow a mustache on this hairless face ... but nothing seems to work" , I lower my head with an expression of absolute sadness, "eucalyptus oils, tomato masks, exfoliate my face with lemon, I even started eating a lot of cinnamon ..., but, simply nothing seems to work Dorothy ..., it seems that I am destined to live a life without a magnificent mustache "
Then he took out a Card that he always carried with him in one of his back pockets, and on it, Todd could only observe with total idolatry and envy the anti-hero number 1 in London.
1#: JACK THE RIPPER
Todd sighed, running his thumb over Jack's face, "I can never have an appearance similar to that of my favorite hero", he sighed and shook some tears, "I will have to settle for just imitating his outfit", I end up in a pout, kicking a little dirt.
"... Baba bbrru bba bbab?"
"You think I don't try that too!" Exclaimed Todd, extending his arms, then crossed his arms and pouted, "... but Delilah and Doug did not approve at all that they will put me a beard implant, according to it ; I already look handsome enough as I am, and I don't need a beautiful facial, "then I snort," hmmp !, what would those two know, they have hair everywhere, they don't know how hard it is for me to know that i will never have a magnificent mustache similar of my favorite hero "
Dorothy rolled her eyes, "Ba ba, brru bi bba ba", and comforted Todd's poor hairless man, hugging his head.
Todd sighed, dropping his shoulders, "I know, I know Dorothy, believe me, I know that Delilah and Doug only seek the best for me and the puppies ..., but, it's just that ..." the correct words before continuing, ", it is, too much to ask just wanting to be more like my favorite hero, that is, Jack, he is a pretty cool guy. If it wasn't for his obscure research methods, me, Doug and Delilah still We would be washed up in international waters and All Might would never have found us ", he smiled gratefully with Jack," he saved my life and yours, Dorothy ... I just, want to be able to honor him in the best way I can "
"Ba ba, brrup dru dru!"
"Thanks Dorothy," Todd brightened up a little, standing upright, "It really means a lot to me that you think I'm cool enough, whether or not I have a gorgeous mustache like my favorite hero's," then he proceeded to watch. his surroundings, "well, if shenanigans are not something you want to do, or allow me to do," he shrugged, "I really don't see any reason to keep up this form."
Then Todd closed his eyes and calmed his mind and body, in an attempt to turn off his Quirk and stop seeing the world in slow motion.
Then Todd opened his eyes.
And the world around him was still looking at him in slow motion, which was so strange to Todd.
To liven up the connection he had with his puppies, which was what provided him with his spotted skin and Quirks, it was usually only necessary for the puppy or Todd to want to terminate that connection with a simple mental command.
'Maybe… i don't I try hard enough?' Todd wondered mentally, holding his chin as he pondered what might be happening.
This was one of the first occasions in which he had memory, he was unable to turn off his Quirk with a simple mental command.
"Ba ba?" Dorothy exclaimed curiously.
"... Eh?", Todd jumped a little, leaving his reflections and focusing on Dorothy, "oh, hey, nothing's wrong Dorothy, just, I have a few technical problems, nothing serious, i assured you"
Todd then closed his eyes again, and did a rhythmic breathing exercise, hoping to further calm his body and come out of his stained state.
He breathed slowly and in a controlled way, trying to focus as much as he could only on the constant rhythmic noise chasing by the beating of his own heart.
At some point, much to Dorothy's amusement still in his head, he even did some yoga moves that he would usually only do in the company of Deepack.
"Miaoaoaoo ~"
It was then that Todd felt completely relaxed and at peace.
And with a sure smile on his face, it was that he then decided to open his eyes again.
And the world was now in black and white.
It didn't take long for Todd to know what this meant.
Now he and Dorothy were moving faster than the light spectrum radiated by the sun.
In other words, they were now moving faster than light.
Given what was happening in front of him, Todd had only one thing to say, "... Kibbles," he cursed, dropping his shoulders in defeat.
Now there was only one alternative left, seeing that the first to turn off his Quirk had failed, and that was ...
"Okay Dorothy," I get Dorothy Todd's attention, both hands mollified on her hips, "... We are stuck indefinitely in, uh, whatever this place is or whatever is happening to me." , then sighed annoyed, "and seeing that we literally have all the time in the world at our beck and call ... do you want to play Poddlewoff?"
"Baba brru trru trru" Dorothy exclaimed, uncertainly.
"... Yeah," Todd nodded understandably, sighing again before speaking, "... I don't have the slightest idea how to play either ... but dawkins and Dylan like to mention that it's the best way to pass the time when you have nothing better to do "
Dorothy after thinking it over, ended up nodding to herself, and confirmed at Todd's request with a simple: "ba ba"
"Okay, now I just need you to go back inside me and look for the Puddlewolff case, it should be close to where Dylan and Dawkin usually work," Todd instructed.
Dorothy simply nodded and in less than a second she was out of Todd's sight, successfully transporting herself back into Todd.
A few moments later, Dorothy re-formed in front of Todd, Poddlewoff's case in her mouth.
It was in the very brief moments when Dorothy was not present that Todd had successfully found an intact wooden chair and table, inside one of the many destroyed and empty buildings around him.
He wouldn't tell Dorothy, but as he set out on his quest to find a chair and table where they could play, he came across some examinees from the UA room, he may or may not have been the one to draw a few funny things on their faces.
Todd took the puppy and Poddlewoff's case and placed them on the table, Dorothy standing in front of him, and the case in the middle of both.
"Well, to a bad start, give it a good ending," with that said, Todd proceeded to open the Poddlewoff case.
What he received inside the case was a large and varied number of very colorful canine figurines, from under them, an entire book detailing the many rules that had to be followed.
Todd let out a very, very long sigh.
Yup, this would be more than tedious to learn without the assistance of Dawkins or Dylan.
