Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!
Clarent excalibur; Yeah, we'll have to see what happens with that huh~? Keita's gonna show more of his training off during these chapters, and how he's grown, if he can match Kai we'll see. Mirio might become involved~ Haha, Rappa's gonna be doing a few things during this part of the story, maybe he'll meet Kirishima. Maybe she could awaken that power now~
CPU-BLANC-WHITE HEART; Yeah, it's going to be quite emotionally packed~ We'll have some surprises in there.
NinjaFang1331; Thanks very much!
Rusetheimmortal; Very wild indeed~ And yeah, it will be something like that~
ShadowUzumaki55; I'm glad you liked that moment! Hehe, you never know, she might do~ They can yeah, they'll be able to have more honest conversations now. Keita's definitely going to be going through many emotions since it does concern Kai and what he's truly capable of doing.
Anime PJ; Kai is going to be quite prevalent, he's Keita's dark reflection, so while having some parallels, they also have things that separate them into who they are. Rappa's got big stuff for him in this story, he's one of the first people that helped Keita and was kind to him, something Keita's never forgotten. Indeed it will be fun~
LiquidAel; Yeah, it's gonna be a wild ride~ Yeah, Keita's going through quite the ride of emotions. He will stand against Kai, he's built a new life for himself, he isn't about to give it up now.
Guest X; They surely did~ Yeah, I guess it would do~
Silver crow; Thanks very much! It surely is~ Keita got to see Rappa again, something that's made him quite happy. We'll see what Keita's capable of doing in this, and future chapters. Yeah, quite the threeway battle it seems~ It was pretty great for Keita to see Mirko like that huh~? He's not doing that, he wants to be helpful, and he'd do that for anyone that would ask. That's Neito for you. Keita's honed his sensing skills. Yeah, I'm sure Eri would do~ Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I'm sure we'll see Keita and Katsuki teaming up. I'm sure that he would have figured it out there yeah. Keita's been around many Villains, he has a good idea who's the stronger ones. Kai and Tomura will have some fun interactions. Keita will show why he's not to be messed with. Yeah maybe we'll see that. Thanks for the votes! I don't know about him being with Akeno yet. He'll be the middle brother of Zuko and Azula. Azula's one of my favorites, he'll see her as his little sister and love her, while being the voice of reason. Yeah, he'll be involved at the beginning. Ty Lee definitely will be with him, if it's a harem I haven't decided yet. I've not read much of the comics. Tsunade wouldn't be in that case, but she'd be important in his life as her relative. Probably the Six Tails, and he wouldn't be weak. They'd be cool, don't know about Kushina yet.
Guest 1; Thanks! Here's the update!
Guest 2; I do like that name for Katsuki, I think it fits rather well. Yeah, he'll probably go with that.
Kaiserguardian; It definitely does. It'll show where Keita in the beginning felt scared of him, now showing him standing up to his brother, and not allowing Kai to get away with anything anymore. Yeah, Nomu's not done, and we might see some surprises with him, and Kai's group will be doing stuff during the fights. It's definitely a big challenge for them!
Guest 3; That would be pretty cool for him to do. That would be pretty cool if they did have that kind of relationship. Yeah, that would be a cool way to differ from Ise. Thanks for the suggestions!
Guest 4; That would be a cool idea, thanks for the suggestions!
Guest 5; Probably before the anime returns.
Well, with those reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!
USJ part one
With the threat of his friends being killed, Keita's mind shifted through several different scenarios. If he could manage to subdue Chronostasis before he could pull the trigger to shoot Aizawa in the head, if he could also somehow manage to stop his brother from touching the ground.
Keita kept thinking back onto the training that he had received from Sir Nighteye, and how he'd handle the situation.
Kai's patience was wearing thin.
He didn't like that Keita was taking this long to make a decision.
Thirteen began trying to activate Blackhole, but Kai noticed it out of the corner of his eye, and thrust his finger down, touching it so violently that Keita thought he was going to break his finger.
The ground overhauled around Thirteen and turned into many spikes.
"N-No!"
The Quirk Blackhole couldn't be activated in time, and Thirteen was going to be skewered.
Just as Kai was going to pierce Thirteen, Keita managed to turn the spikes towards Kai instead, and shot them at high speeds.
The students were impressed with how Keita managed to do that, to protect Thirteen from being killed by Kai.
Shoto herself was impressed to see Keita handling this situation despite Kai being a true fear for him.
"Now that's great to see, you've gotten stronger Keita."
Kai used his Quirk to dissemble the spikes coming for him before they could reach him, dropping to the ground in harmless stones.
Kai then faced Keita.
"Even now, still saving those people that stand in the way Keita."
"Of course I would, I don't want anyone to die...not because of you."
"You make me out to be some evil person. I wouldn't have to hurt people if you just did as I said." Kai saw Keita withdrawing from him, so he took a step forward. "Keita, don't make me wait much longer. Come over here, now."
The way he growled it out, some of the students began to shiver, and shake. They felt the intensity, and it wasn't directed at them. Compared to the current Tomura, the current Kai had a way to make people feel uncomfortable.
Mineta was shaking like a leaf, Izuku bit his lower lip, Tenya's eyes closed, believing that this wasn't real. Ochaco placed a hand over her mouth, looking ill. Momo breathed shallowly, while Mina ran a hand over her face, trying to make sense of what was going on, Shoto just stared at Keita, wondering what he was feeling.
Katsuki's eyes landed on Keita, seeing that he just stared at his brother.
He wasn't showing any emotion on his face.
Not even his signature smile.
Keita looked down at Eri in his arms, seeing that she was looking back up towards him.
He, for the first time since Kai had come, and besides seeing Rappa which was a smile that he couldn't control, this one he could, and he showed it to Eri, filling her with confidence that he wasn't going to back down.
"Kei-chan..."
"Don't worry Eri-chan, everything's fine." Keita turned towards Himiko who gave sorrowful eyes. "Take Eri-chan Himiko-chan."
Himiko didn't know what he was thinking.
"Kei-chan...what are you..."
"...Don't worry about me. I've known this would happen for the longest times...that he'd come back, that he'd try something drastic with me... so I'm not surprised that he's here now...so, please take care of Eri-chan...I'll be fine."
Himiko didn't know what he was going to do.
But his eyes…
Something about the way he looked at her, she believed that he was going to be alright.
She did as he requested, and took Eri from him.
Eri looked back to Keita, and tried to go back to him, but Himiko stopped her.
"Eri-chan...you have to stay with me now."
"N-No! Kei-chan! Please don't go!"
She pleaded, but Keita had to ignore her.
If he didn't, then he knew he couldn't go through with what he was going to do next.
He walked towards his elder brother, despite the protests of Eri.
Aizawa felt helpless.
If he couldn't even save a students life…
Keita got closer to Kai, who allowed a small smile to appear as he allowed his bird like plague mask to hang by his neck. It seemed like he was trying to be warm and inviting, but all it felt like was cold and distant.
Tomura was also becoming increasingly more impatient, he didn't like that Kai was stealing the spotlight from him in his eyes, and he violently turned to Kurogiri...but, even he was stunned by the look that Kai was giving.
"That's better Keita, no more struggling now."
Keita furrowed his brows.
Katsuki couldn't accept it.
She definitely could see that Kai was truly a horrible, evil person, and if Keita left with him…
"Kei no! Don't go with him!"
Keita's face turned towards her, and he simply smiled.
That smile caused conflicting feelings within Katsuki, she didn't know what she was supposed to do.
Keita then turned back to Kai, who offered his hand.
"I'm glad you're back Keita, I really missed you."
"I want to know what you did to the Boss."
Kai looked mildly surprised, before explaining.
"He's in a coma, and as I said, I'll bring him out of it once we're ready to do so."
"You mean, when you're sure I wont run off and he wont be in the way, right?"
Kai furrowed his brows.
"Your point being?"
Keita continued to push Kai.
"The time I've spent away from you...was the best time of my life. I got to experience the world, were you locked me away for so long...and you want me to go back to being your prisoner? So you can gain more power? We used to be close...I used to look up to you, you know? But as soon as you did that to me...the Kai I knew...wouldn't have killed me for power...the Kai I knew...risked his life...for mine...that's the brother I'll always remember."
The class couldn't hear what Keita was saying, due to him whispering it to Kai. Katsuki though could see the seriousness, the hurt and anguish on Keita's face, and kept wondering if Kai was the reason Keita had scars on his arms, what their real relationship was truly like.
Kai's eyes wavered.
Just for a second.
Keita saw that single moment of second guessing, now knew it was the time, so he shot off to the floor, and used his Quirk to cause the ground around Chronostasis to come up into a spike for the gun, which shattered upon being pierced.
"Shit, my gun!"
Before Chronostasis could do anything, another earth pillar shooting out of the spike, slamming deeply into Chronostasis' torso, blowing him away.
Kai, in the middle of Keita doing that, used his chance to touch the ground, but Keita yelled "Aizawa-sensei! Your Quirk!" and Aizawa did just that, using his Quirk to focus solely on Kai himself, his Quirk was deactivated.
Keita used this chance to get out of Aizawa's vision, and grab his weighted seals from his outfit, and used his Quirk to make them stronger, before launching them for Kai himself.
Kai got nailed in his right arm, and the elbow of that arm, Kai grimaced at the feeling, it almost felt like his arm had broken from the impact, but Keita wasn't done, and shot forward like an arrow, asking Aizawa "Turn off your Quirk Sensei!" so he did just that, and aimed for the impact that his weighted seals struck, his elbow.
With Kai momentarily distracted by the assault, by the time that Keita got there, Kai couldn't defend properly, Keita tightened his hand, smashing it deeply into Kai's elbow, activating his Quirk and caused Kai's arm weaken with Rewrite, as his punch landed, then repeated the process a few times, breaking Kai's arm in a series of blows, leaving him reeling.
"Aaah..."
Kai winced at the feeling, attempting to overhaul his arm to make it be put back into a perfect condition.
Keita though wouldn't allow him the chance to recover.
"Have this!"
Keita jumped, and spun around several times in the air in rapid succession, before delivering a harsh kick to the face, sending Kai right down into the ground with a noticeable thudding sound, Rappa looked immensely pleased with what was happening, seeing Keita's combat ability grow…
He definitely wanted to fight him now that he had grown to such a place.
"My...it seems that boys Quirk is interesting..."
Tomura looked on with intrigue.
Seeing how Keita was managing to fight, seeing him using his Quirk in unique ways, he definitely was rather interested to see what else Keita could do, and to also make Kai suffer for taking, what Tomura believed to be his rightful chance at causing chaos and mayhem.
Kai's eyes shot for Keita, and rather than just be angry, he seemed to be a mixture between anger and praise.
"So, you've improved that much. Your Quirk, you used it on my arm to weaken it. You've come far in the time that we've spent away from one another..."
"Yes, with training and advice from other people, I was able to hone more of my power. I wont be weak, not anymore. And I wont allow anyone to die because of you when I can help it, that's my promise big brother. I failed to save the Boss...I wont fail to save anyone else from you. And don't even think about targeting Eri-chan! I wont allow anyone to hurt her!"
Kai was surprised by the strength Keita had.
For all the time he had away, Keita still had the same sweet personality.
But he also had more inner strength, the desire to fight and win against Kai, which was immensely surprising.
Aizawa jumped closer to Keita as Kai groaned on the floor from his broken arm, and his face that had some injuries to it.
"Chisaki, are you okay? What you did then...I have to say, I'm very impressed. Knowing what I know about what he did to you...it must have taken a lot of courage to stand up to him, I'm proud."
Aizawa whispered it so the others didn't find out.
All they seemed to know was that Kai was Keita's brother, and that he had hurt him in some way.
Keita relieved Aizawa with a single nod of his head.
"I'm fine Sensei...but, we need to get everyone..."
As he was speaking, a portal opened up under Keita, and he dropped through it, surprising Aizawa, who tried to grab him...but he was too slow, and Keita got taken away.
Aizawa's eyes shot for the other Villains, allowing Kai the chance to use his Quirk on his own injuries, while looking towards Tomura, who Keita appeared beside.
Keita tried to move away from him, but Tomura stuck out his hand, and the Nomu creature moved closer.
"Nahaha, it seems that you're rather feisty. I've become interested in your power, maybe Sensei could want it, who knows~?"
Keita cringed.
"What are you talking about? Your Sensei..."
"Right, he's able to take Quirks, yours might be useful to him. The power to control the earth, but it also did some other stuff right?"
Keita furrowed his brows.
He couldn't work Tomura out.
He felt like Tomura had intelligence, but the way he acted, he looked like a child that wasn't getting his way.
Keita then saw Eri looking towards him, and she appeared afraid.
He...hated that.
Seeing her afraid of what was happening, he wanted to make her fear go away, so she didn't have to suffer anymore.
Himiko also wasn't sure what she was supposed to do.
Eri though used Himiko's indecisiveness and managed to wriggle out of her grasp, and ran towards Keita himself.
"Eri-chan no!"
Himiko cried, and chased after her.
Tomura raised a brow.
"Eh? Why is there a kid here anyway? She's starting training young. Well, whatever! Maybe All Might would be blamed for a child's death! Hahahaha, everyone! Go and get her!"
"No!"
Keita's eyes shot for Tomura, and upon him issuing that command, Keita slammed his fist deeply into the upper body of Tomura, so hard and by using his Rewrite Quirk on Tomura, Keita's fist managed to crack a rib of Tomura's, and send him flying down to the ground in a shock to Kurogiri.
"Gwaah…."
Tomura coughed on the ground, his pain being quite evident on his face.
Keita saw the Villain's trying to move towards her.
Something inside of him took over.
His instincts on protecting her.
"STAY AWAY FROM HER!"
Keita had to protect her, so he released his Quirk onto the ground, and something amazing for the Hero's, and scary for the Villains happened.
The ground erupted and twisted, turning and bending to Keita's desire, slamming into many different Villain's. They tried to fight back, but they didn't have the raw power on doing so, and sent them all flying around and away.
"S-Shit!"
"Get that crap away from me!"
"Stop it!"
"What is this power!?"
Trying to get away from it, they found it an impossible task to do. They were forced away from Eri. The Villains couldn't do anything against the might of the ground. Even Aizawa had to admit that he was surprised to see the fine control Keita had on his Quirk.
How he moved the ground just right so it wouldn't kill anyone, yet would disable, and even protect Eri if a Villain got to close. He could even see that he was trying to fight and win against the assault of Keita's power, turning it into an area that was controlled by Keita's power.
Even the Nomu was caught by surprise, and tried to fight back, managing to succeed in breaking through some of the earth attacks that Keita unleashed.
But Keita had Eri to protect.
"You'll be stopped..."
He pushed more and more effort into his attacks, and sent several pillars of the earth for Nomu, Nomu stood up to it, and like a machine gun, rapidly punched through numerous pierces of the earth, even ones Keita formed into thick spears.
But that was proven to be a trap, as Keita was working on the ground below Nomu, opening it up, and caused Nomu to fall into it, before Keita closed it half way up his body, leaving half of Nomu's body stuck in the ground.
"Damn..."
Tomura looked beyond surprised by Keita managing to subdue even someone like the Nomu.
But that opened up the area for Eri to run towards Keita, who did the same thing.
Getting towards her, his arms went around the young girl, and held her close.
"Eri-chan, that was very dangerous."
"I-I'm sorry...I was just worried about you, Kei-chan."
Keita understood that quite clearly.
He was also worried about her.
"It's okay, I'm okay. I know it's scary, but I'll always protect you. No matter what."
"Kei-chan..."
He placed a hand to the back of her head, and then began running back to the others.
Keita exhaled slowly, hearing the sound of cracking and ultimately breaking from behind him.
He knew it was the Nomu creature, he didn't even have to look back.
He kept running, hearing the heavy footsteps shooting from behind him, and then when getting in close, Keita turned, and caused the ground to erupt into a number of pillars, hoping to subdue Nomu.
The pillars each shot deeply into Nomu's body as Aizawa began running closer, yelling to Thirteen "Take the others out of here!" and then threw his cloth at Keita and Eri.
But the moment it got near, Kai's finger came shooting out, and touched the cloth, destroying it instantly, Aizawa's eyes shot for him, so Kai smirked.
"Your Quirk seems good, but it's not enough for me."
Aizawa narrowed his eyebrows, as Rappa shot off from behind him.
Kai gave a slight smirk, believing that Rappa was on his side, and grabbed Keita and Eri, running as fast as they could away from the Nomu, who was pinned down by Keita's pillars bending down towards the ground, like a hook, and forced Nomu's body to bend in complicated ways so it couldn't do anything other than watch.
Kai looked pleased, while Aizawa looked worried for Keita and Eri.
"Wait!"
"You're dealing with me now."
Kai said menacingly, Aizawa tightened his hand angrily.
However, Katsuki couldn't think of anything else other than Keita right now.
She didn't know that Rappa was Keita's friend, so what she saw was him being kidnapped with Eri, and her anger grew more and more.
So she disobeyed the others, and shot off towards the area Keita was in, despite protests from Thirteen and Izuku, saying it was too dangerous, she didn't care, she needed to go and get Keita at that moment.
Himiko also thought it would be best to go, so she also shot off towards Keita, following Katsuki.
Kai didn't look pleased, and turned to Chronostasis, who was recovering from what Keita did to him.
"Chrono, go and stop them. Kill them if you have to, and also get samples of their blood."
"No!"
Aizawa tried to fight, but he was stopped by Kai rushing closer, and trying to touch him before Aizawa looked back towards him, stopping Kai's Quirk from activating, but Kai seemed to anticipate this, and simply threw up his jacket in an effort to blind Aizawa long enough for his Quirk to activate.
Aizawa, realizing what he was doing, tried jumping away, only for Kai to use the chance he had gotten and created a world of spikes. Shooting out of the ground so fast that Aizawa couldn't dodge them all, and ended up getting an arm, and his right leg slashed deeply.
Tomura looked rather intrigued, before turning to Kurogiri.
"This one sounds like the one that Master spoke about. Maybe it would be good if we kill him too. But there's these brats hanging around, take them away from here, and let the others handle them in the different areas."
Kurogiri bows to Tomura, and does as he wishes.
Using his body, Kurogiri warps himself over to the other students, and begins surrounding most of them in his thick fog. Ochaco, Tenya, and a few others managed to jump out of it, but even Thirteen was caught in the fog.
"Sorry boys and girls, but I'll have you disappear from this place."
Kurogiri in a very gentlemanly way spoke, and then used his Quirk on each of them trapped within his fog, transported them to a good distance away from them all, leaving behind only a few stragglers.
Kurogiri was going to take care of them, but saw that Kai's eyes shot for Tomura who showed a wild smile, so he thought best to go and support Tomura in case he needed him.
As that was going on, Himiko and Katsuki together managed to get a good distance away from the others, hot on the trail of Keita, as Himiko herself took out some of Keita's blood, and drank it down in case she needed to be a decoy or to assist in some kind of plan so she could switch to him at a moments notice.
However, as they ran, Himiko saw Chronostasis behind them, giving chase, so she stopped, and took out her knife.
"Come on then!"
Himiko shot for him, as he stood his ground.
Simply the act of stopping allowed his clock hair to activate, and came shooting out at high speeds.
Himiko deflected it with her blade, and tossed one of her own blades towards him.
Chronostasis had no choice but to inject himself, his eyes suddenly shot open, and then shot off a bolt of electricity from said eyes, catching her up in it, and sent her flying backwards.
Katsuki heard the cry, paused and turned to see Himiko being struck down.
"Shit..."
She cursed, and turned back to help her, hoping that Keita would be okay.
Himiko, on the ground, winced at the sudden power, while Katsuki got in close, and tried to shoot a strong explosion his way...but the electricity from his eyes acted as a barricade, and stopped the explosive power from reaching him.
Then his hair came shooting out, and tried to cut Katsuki, but Himiko managed to recover enough to force Chronostasis to move out of the way with a barrage of knives.
Katsuki didn't understand what she had just seen as she got beside Himiko.
"Aaah...seems like we'll have to deal with this bastard together."
"But he had two Quirks, how's that possible? You know, don't you?"
"Yes, I know."
Himiko didn't even deny it.
Katsuki only had more questions than before.
"Then how many Quirks does he have?"
"I don't know, he injected one but could possibly inject more."
"Injected Quirks?"
"You'll have to ask Kei-chan about that."
That didn't help Katsuki at all who wanted to know more about what was going on.
"Speaking of, we need to get to him! Before that thug bastard takes him away!"
Himiko didn't want to reveal it in front of Chronostasis, but she knew about Rappa.
"...Don't worry, Kei-chan can handle himself, and he's got Eri-chan with him."
"Wouldn't that be hindering?"
That's what Katsuki thought.
But Himiko shook her head and explained the best that she could.
"If anything, it would be empowering. Kei-chan cares a lot for that little girl, anyone places her life in danger...they better start praying cause Kei-chan is gonna come after them." Her eyes shot for Chronostasis who smirked. "You too, you're going to have the crap kicked out of you...sorry, don't have to censor myself with Eri-chan not being around, so let me say it again…." Himiko inhaled, then showed a scary smile. "I'm going to ram my knife deep into your body and make you pay for what you and your beloved boss did to my Kei-chan! I'll slice you down and make you bleed until nothing is left!" Katsuki gave her a WTF face, so she giggled. "Too much?"
"Just a little bit. Damn, you're quite scary when you want to be Vampire."
"Well, threaten my Kei-chan, and you're gonna get cut up~"
"Heh, so it's a team up with you and me."
"Ooh, lets cut and explode this bastard~"
"For once Vampire, I agree with you completely."
Katsuki and Himiko stood side by side, as they readied themselves to face down Chronostasis.
Meanwhile, Keita and Eri were running away with Rappa until they stopped at a good enough distance so they couldn't be seen. Keita was put onto the ground, and then his eyes met with Rappa's own.
Upon seeing the giant again, Keita couldn't help but smile happily.
"Rappa-san...I'm so happy that you're okay..."
"Heh, did you ever think I wouldn't be kid?" Keita chortled as Rappa overlooked Keita's form. "Haha, you have grown. You look stronger, ready to be a challenge to me yet-"
As he was confidently speaking, Keita ended up hugging Rappa.
Rappa looked on with complex emotions.
He wasn't the one for this usually, but he also didn't want to deny Keita anything either.
He was also happy to see that Keita was alive, and well.
"Geez, seriously kid...doing these things, you haven't changed."
"Hey, I've changed a bit."
Rappa smirked down at him, pinching his fingers together.
"Maybe a little bit."
Keita and Rappa shared a small laugh.
Keita then pulled back, taking in several breaths.
"So, you're still trying to beat my brother then?"
"You know it. That, and to make sure I'm here if he ever tried this. It's hard trying to get messages away, ever since you left, he's become more paranoid, and keeps tight lock on any and all communications. So, failing on trying to stop him, I had to be there to make sure that you survived."
"Rappa-san...I'm glad to see you again. I really did miss you...we never really got to say goodbye. But...you're safe, I was worried about you."
Rappa waved his hand.
"Aah, don't worry about me. But I'm glad you're still kind, boy."
Keita was also glad Rappa was as he remembered him.
"I know we don't have much time...I have to go and help stop big brother."
Rappa rejected it immediately, and while not admitting it, he did have protective feelings over Keita, and couldn't allow him to risk his life.
"No, it's too dangerous. You're staying here. It might have been a while, but I'm still going to be your bodyguard, and make sure you aren't put into danger. No matter how many levels of badass you've taken lately. Which, I must say, how you broke Overjerk's arm, that was cool. Those punches though, couldn't help but be reminded of myself a little."
"Maybe I took some inspiration from you~"
He sang out, Rappa actually felt honoured that Keita had based some of his techniques on Rappa's fighting style.
"Hahahaha! It seems that I did teach you a few good things!"
Rappa, to Keita, sounded like a proud brother, or uncle that had just seen someone they care for achieve good things in his life.
"Yes...you taught me more than you know, Rappa-san."
Seeing the look in his eyes, Rappa understood the deeper meaning in Keita's words.
How he was someone that was trapped for a long time, Rappa had taught him it was okay for him to have things for himself.
"Kid..."
Keita bowed his head.
"Thanks to you...I have a good life now. I have friends, my school is fun to go to, and I do ordinary teenage things."
"I'm glad kid, you deserve it, after everything. That's why, I can't let you go back. If Overjerk does something to you..."
Keita could hear the concern in his voice.
Even now, Rappa seemed to truly care about Keita, and wanted to make sure that he was safe and sound.
"I know, but my Sensei and friends might need help. I know my brother more than anything. Even if he's grown in power, I've seen his fighting style for years. He doesn't know the extent of what I've learned from Sir Nighteye-san, Mirko-san, and everyone who's been guiding me this far. Rappa-san..."
Rappa sighed.
"Always stubborn, it's what you and Overjerk share, you know?"
Keita chortled lightly.
"I guess, though I'm not overly keen being compared to him..."
Rappa shook his head at Keita's words.
Keita could see that he was quite clearly worried about him.
Rappa didn't want anything to happen to Keita.
Over the time they had spent together, and to now, even seeing him maturing as he had been, it was something that Rappa found to be rather interesting to see.
"...Kid, you're as weird as always. But, that's fine with me. I always liked that side of you, your drive to not quit, and to try your hardest. Well, it seems that I've lost you now, huh? You got away from me. But I'll have to make it look believable, so leave me here to go and cause some damage to myself."
"...I understand Rappa-san, I'll leave it to you then, thank you for everything."
Keita took off running with Eri in his arms.
Rappa gave a slight smile on his face, seeing how Keita had grown. He truly was proud to see how far Keita had come. From the days of being in isolation, until now, where he was actively trying to save his friends, his new family that he had made all on his own.
Meanwhile, Izuku was first transported to a place above the water in the shipwreck zone, and ended up being dunked into the water from a good distance.
He saw Mineta within the water, Mineta trying to stay afloat, but he was having a difficult time.
Izuku wasn't having any better times either, for as soon as he arrived, he was ambushed by a Villain that almost looked like a shark or some other kind of underwater creature, and came at him.
He didn't have time to react, but thankfully, Tsuyu shot through the water, since it was natural for her to be able to move, and delivered a double kick to the man's face, and shot him through the water.
Tsuyu wordlessly grabbed Izuku with her tongue and launched him onto the ship up top.
Looking towards Mineta, she stretched out her tongue, and swam to the top as well, allowing him to breathe.
"Hey, where did you come from anyway?!" Mineta cried out, as his eyes went towards her chest. "My, for a frog girl, you've got large..."
His small hand went to touch her chest, but Tsuyu merely said "Ribbit." while slapping him upside the head with her tongue, and then threw him onto the ship.
She followed closely by, and got onto the ship as well.
Looking towards Izuku and Mineta, Mineta was freaking out, while Izuku looked questioningly towards Tsuyu, and also noticed that the enemies weren't fighting back, just sitting in the water as if they were waiting for them to move.
Izuku knew that this might be a chance for them, trying to fight down his inner worries.
"They aren't doing anything, we should be able to come up with something, and maybe combine our abilities somehow. Maybe we should go over everyone's Quirks, and see how we'd be able to use them together..."
Since Izuku wasn't privy to what happened during the Battle Trial, he didn't witness Tsuyu's capabilities, nor Mineta's.
Tsuyu inclined her head.
"Yes. I'll explain my Quirk. It's Frog. I can do what a frog can do. Stick to walls, jump far, stretch my tongue out about 20 metres, and a secrete a toxic sticky liquid. But, it only stings a bit, so you can disregard that, and my stomach washing as well."
Mineta looked on awkwardly at the capabilities of Tsuyu, then he pulled off a ball from his head, and stuck to the side of the ship.
"M-My Quirk is to pop off these sticky balls from my head. They stick to anything, depending on how I feel, they stick longer or shorter. Oh, they don't stick to me either, and I bounce right off."
Tsuyu and Izuku just stared at him, as Mineta looked back at them.
Izuku then spoke up.
"My Quirk, I can use it to unleash devastating strength feats. But, my body breaks if I do..."
As Izuku pondered what they should do, the Villain's down below were becoming impatient, and one of them used their water Quirk to made a claw of water. Sending it forward, he sliced through the boat they were on, cleaving it in two, and it began to sink into the water.
"Oh, guess they were tired of waiting."
Tsuyu murmured, while Mineta, crying his eyes out, began throwing his balls towards the people in the water.
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaah! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"
"D-Don't give up!"
Izuku yelled, seeing him turn back towards him, tears shooting out of his eyes.
Tsuyu watched as he cried as well, tilting her head.
"Mineta-chan, have you considered the Hero business might not be for you?"
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaah! Shut up! I was a junior high student not long ago! We should wait for the professionals! I am terrified! I'm scared! We're going to die! These people came to kill All Might, what chance do we have against them?! We don't have any chances at all! I'm scared!"
Izuku watched his two classmates being in peril, and then towards the Villain's, and thought what his friends would do...what he would do, and then thought of something.
"I've got an idea. Tsu-chan, when I use my power on the water, could you grab me, and Mineta-kun and get us out of here. While that happens, Mineta-kun, throw your balls into the water. Since they'll stick them together, and go towards the middle, of my hopeful attack, they wont be able to escape, and we'll be able to get free."
Tsuyu simply nodded, and so did Mineta, even if he was shedding a large amount of tears.
Izuku looked down at the incoming water, and knew what he would have to do.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Letting out a battle cry, he jumped high into the sky.
Looking down at the water, he knew he wouldn't be able to get them all. However, he did know of something that he would be able to do.
Putting his fingers into a flicking position, he concentrated hard, again and again, pooling his new power into the finger. It glowed with the One For All power, and Izuku yelled "Delaware Smaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaash!" and unleashed his flick.
Because of the power behind his flick, the air became a concentrated blast, and went right for the water.
[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!]
The condensed air pressure slammed against the water, and created a vortex of rushing water, dragging the Villains into it.
Izuku looked at his broken fingers, and then felt a tongue wrapping around him.
Looking, he saw that Tsuyu had done as he asked, leaping forward with Mineta, the boy crying as he threw his sticky balls into the water as much as he could. Tsuyu was impressed and so was Mineta with Izuku's quick thinking.
Because of that maneuver though, Izuku, and the others managed to get out of their situation pretty fast.
As that happened, Thirteen was transported to an isolated area.
Surprise came over the space Hero when seeing the Villains around had already been defeated.
More than the ones in the immediate area, it seemed that a good number of Villains had been defeated from as far as Thirteen could see.
"Those two groups aren't working together...but, where is the person who defeated these people now...?"
Thirteen had many questions...
But a noise behind stopped Thirteen from thinking for too long, shooting around to see the disturbance...
But saw nothing at all.
Thirteen remained cautious.
Continuing to look around, Thirteen felt as if someone was watching.
But Thirteen couldn't tell where from...
Until Thirteen suddenly felt something sharp piercing from behind.
Thirteen's breath hitched, worried eyes going back to see a man who was half merged with the ground had a sharp knife which even pierced through the space suit.
"Hey Thirteen, my Boss wants something from you...now, be a good Hero and stay quiet..."
Thirteen's eyes widened.
Trying to move, Thirteen had little success as the ground bound Thirteen's body, and could only watch as the man made his true intentions known...
Back at the entrance of the USJ, Tenya was looking on towards Aizawa fighting against Kai Chisaki. Kai seemed to have hand to hand combat skills weren't anything to laugh at.
Tenya clutched his hand, looking at Shoji, Mina, Ochaco, and Sero who had been left behind. He pondered if he should go and see if they could go and help their Sensei. But, he was sure that Aizawa would be against it.
Ochaco though turned to Tenya with a desperate look on her face.
"I think you should go, Iida-kun. You're the fastest between us all."
"W-What? I couldn't possibly..."
"She's right." Shoji added. "That guys Quirk seemed like Chisaki-sans, being able to reshape the ground, and he's pretty skilled with it. And he's not afraid to kill people."
"He's terrifying."
Mina shuddered as she said it.
Sero nodded.
"Definitely. You have to go Iida-kun!"
Tenya wasn't thrilled about it.
Looking towards all of the others, he could see the seriousness on their faces.
He didn't want to leave, but he knew that they'd need help against these opponents.
With the situation the way it was, Tenya knew that he would have to do it, so he decided that he'd go and leave it to the others. He turned heels, and shot for the door, running as fast as he could to make his escape.
Kurogiri watched as the boy took off running as fast as he could.
"Good try, but you talk in front of the Villain's of your plans! I saw through this! I wont let you contact the other Sensei's!"
Kurogiri extended his fog before him, and made a warp towards the front of the running Tenya in the form of a circle, a bending circle at that.
"Damn it!"
Tenya grimaced, and paused his body, skidding on the ground, and expected Kurogiri to try and do something…
But, unexpectedly, it seemed that Shoji jumped from the side, tackling the fog with his arms and hands wrapped around it tightly, pinning Kurogiri down to the ground.
"Go! We need the Sensei's!"
Tenya didn't pause now, and rushed back the black fog as fast as he could move his entire body.
"Everyone, wait for me! I'll definitely get us help!"
Tenya seeing the doors in sight, charged for it. He didn't think that he had moved this fast in his life. But, he wasn't going to stop now.
"I will not let you go outside!"
Kurogiri yelled out, his fog attempting to extend even more.
"I don't think so!"
Sero, the tape elbows boy, saw the piece of metal as well, shooting out tape from his elbow, and stuck it onto the part, and pulled it backwards, causing Kurogiri to be pulled backwards as well.
Ochaco, Mina and Shoji, rushed towards the tape, and pulled on it, and swung it around together with Sero. All of them tried very hard, and managed to swing him around, launching him towards another part of the area, as Tenya pushed the door open, and left without looking back.
Kai who had been looking on, scoffed, though took special interest in seeing Kurogiri's ability.
"Doesn't matter to me, this wont take long. Even if All Might himself shows up, he wont be able to win."
Aizawa raised a brow.
"You have a lot of confidence in yourself, don't you? Even if you don't like All Might, his ability cannot be denied."
Kai shrugged.
"I'm going to be winning this fight. Then I'm going to be taking back my little brother."
"He's not going with you. As his Sensei, I wont allow you to try anything with that boy. I heard what you've done."
"You have no idea what I've done, and what I've had to do to make sure that boy is safe and sound."
"Safe? He's hardly safe in your care. What you did is vile."
Kai shook his head.
"If that's what you believe." His eyes shifted to Tomura who was scowling at him. "Why are you even here? What are your goals? Is this your tantrum? I can't see any plans that you have, besides setting some monster onto All Might, and threatening a bunch of teenagers."
"Y-You shut your face! I am here for my own reasons! It has nothing to do with you! If you're so high and mighty, why are you here huh?!"
Kai gave a slight condescending look to Tomura who increased his anger.
"That's for me to know. You shouldn't give your plans away. Like for instance..."
Kai, knowing of Aizawa's Quirk, simply pulled out a gun.
Aizawa saw his movements, and tried to extend his cloth, but Kai dodged out of the way, and took aim, shooting a single bullet that grazed Aizawa's leg.
Aizawa winced, and his eyes nearly closed.
For a brief moment, Kai thought he had the opportunity to Overhaul the ground.
But Aizawa didn't allow his eyes to close, and kept his eyes on Kai, and then rushed forward.
Jumping, Aizawa attempted to flank Kai, trying to capture him at a moments notice, but Kai was swift, and tried to get out of the eyesight of Aizawa.
Aizawa though bent his body as he sailed through the air, his eyes shifting to always stay on Kai.
Kai saw Aizawa on the ground, so he took his gun to fire it, only for Aizawa to toss his cloth at Kai's foot, succeeding in grabbing it, and yanked it forward.
Kai nearly lost balance and fell over.
But he managed to stay on his feet.
Still, Aizawa used this chance to rush forward. Taking out more of his cloth, he tried to wrap Kai up in said cloth, while Kai observed Aizawa's eyes. Though they were difficult to see, Kai was sure that he was beginning to understand more and more about his Quirk.
"You can't keep your eyes open indefinitely. And when they close...I'm going to end you."
Aizawa hated to admit that Kai was right.
Even if he willed them to stay open, Kai was going to have the advantage now, and was going to win said fight.
Aizawa tried to finish it quickly, shooting for him as fast as he could.
Upon making it to Kai, he did several complicated hand movements, trying to land a blow on Kai. Kai himself had been increasing his combat skills to make sure he could take down people if this situation happened, so he matched Aizawa blow for blow.
Each strike he tried to give, was returned right back onto him.
The students, and even Tomura, looked impressed.
Kai wasn't using a Quirk, yet he was still able to fight him like that with seemingly ease.
When Aizawa went to punch Kai in the right side of his face, Kai blocked with his arm, and then brought up his leg so fast that Aizawa was nearly blind sided, but he managed to move his head to avoid being hit.
Aizawa pulled back, and pulled out a knife that he usually kept, jumping Kai with high speed.
Tomura looked more annoyed.
He felt like the spot light was being taken off of him, and he didn't like it at all.
"Come on! Hurry and finish or you can both die!"
They both ignored Tomura, and Kai grabbed Aizawa's wrist with lightning speed, twisting it so hard that he was forced to drop the knife. Kai then reeled back his fist, embedding it into Aizawa's face, but Aizawa had done the same thing, hitting each other so hard that they were forced down onto the ground.
Kai sighed, and stood back up quickly.
"This is getting annoying."
Aizawa scowled at the young man.
"Sorry, but I'll always get in your way. He is my student, he's under my protection."
"Even so, blood is thicker than water. He belongs with me. You people have no idea what Keita means to me."
"So much so that you're willing to kill him to gain power, right?"
Kai's eyes raged at what Aizawa had said.
Even Aizawa was informed what had happened to Keita before, since he was going to be Keita's Sensei.
"Tch, shut your mouth."
"Hate the truth? Is that it Kai Chisaki?"
"You know nothing. But I will admit that your hand to hand capabilities are quite good, it would be difficult to beat you like this..." Kai's eyes drifted upwards briefly, before looking back coldly at Aizawa. "But I don't have to." Aizawa's brows narrowed as Kai exhaled. "Drop it now."
Aizawa became confused, only to see Kai closing his eyes, and saw what seemed to be a flash bang coming down, creating a bright light, his eyes burned from the intense light.
"Aaaah..."
"I studied you and make plans to combat you."
Kai reached down as swiftly as possible, as Aizawa tried to respond by moving his head, rubbing his eyes.
Kai knew he'd not be able to Overhaul enough to kill Aizawa within the time he had seeing Aizawa's eyes trying to force to stay open, so he caused the ground to shift around Aizawa, trapping his legs, and moving the spikes so his arms couldn't move or they'd be cut apart. Some of the spikes pierced Aizawa's body, and drew a good deal of blood out of him, shocking the students who were regaining their vision from the flash bang.
Aizawa's eyes met with Kai's body, and though it was painful to keep his eyes open from the flash bang, but it was enough to stop the process of his Quirk, before he could be impaled fully. He did notice that his legs were being crushed, and his arms and upper body had numerous cuts on him
"Your eyes...it seems that you see a lot with them…we'll have to do something about that."
Kai brought out a knife, and began moving towards his eyes.
"No stop!"
"Sensei! Please don't hurt him!"
"What should we do?!"
"We have to do something!"
The teenagers from a distance began screaming for Kai to stop, but he didn't.
Kai looked deeply into Aizawa's eyes who remained pinned.
Moving his head rapidly, Aizawa tried to escape what Kai was going to do…but he couldn't.
He wasn't able to do anything other than watch on with horror as the knife came closer and closer to his eyes…
"Big brother no!"
Kai paused, Tomura who was looking amused, both turned to see Keita stood there, his eyes solely on Kai himself. Kai's hand retracted from Aizawa's face, and then turned towards his little brother with a slight smile.
"There you are little brother. Come, it's time to head on home now. Before the Hero's arrive. Still, I'm surprised. How did you get away from Rappa?"
"I've been training hard with my Quirk."
"I'm happy that you can stand up to him and manage to get away. Now come with me Keita. If you come of your own accord, I'll allow your Sensei to live."
Keita didn't like the sound of that at all.
He didn't want Aizawa to get killed.
Keita wasn't going to give into the commands of Kai, and knew that he'd have to launch some kind of attack to save everyone that was around.
Back with Himiko, she and Katsuki faced down Chronostasis.
"So, in the end, you stayed with him, did you?"
"Yup, Kei-chan's someone I deeply care for~"
"Care for him...why would anyone?"
Himiko recalled a bit about Chronostasis, sharing her thoughts with him.
"Ooh that's right, you were jealous of the attention Overhaul gave Kei-chan, right? Because you wanted to be the right hand, when Overhaul considers Kei-chan as his right hand."
Chronostasis' face contorted, his anger getting the better of him.
"Shut up! Overhaul-sama sees me as his right hand! All Overhaul-sama sees of his brother was an experiment to gain power from!"
He spat out, Katsuki furrowed her brows.
Keita...was some kind of experiment?
"Experiment...what the hell do you mean experiment?!"
Katsuki snapped, Chronostasis smirked.
"Hmph, that doesn't matter. You wont be alive long enough to question it."
Chronostasis opened up with his eyes forming electricity before him, shooting it out into several waves.
"Tch, these things wont be able to get by my explosions!"
Katsuki placed her hands out, creating a mass explosion that forced the electricity away from them.
But that seemed to be a distraction as Chronostasis leapt forward, and allowed his hair to shoot out in a quick movement.
"Is that what you think girl?! Tell me, do you care about that Keita boy?!"
Katsuki went to dodge it, when Himiko jumped in the way, clashing with it using her knife, slashing some of the arrow which cut a number of strands of hair off Chronostasis' head.
"Sorry Chrono bastard, you're not getting far with me around."
"He's quick."
Katsuki noted, Himiko nodded in agreement.
"Be careful of his hair, if you're cut by it, it can slow down your movements for a minute, or an hour depending on which clock hair hand you're cut with."
Himiko explained.
Katsuki then allowed her hands to go backwards, using said hands to propel her forwards at high speeds.
"Some first year students trying to fight me. As if."
Chronostasis chortled, and simply allowed pulses of electricity to come out of his eyes, more and more stronger.
The stronger ones ripped through the ground, and caused it to become uprooted.
It seemed to be a strong Quirk.
Katsuki dodged out of the way, using her explosions to propel her through the air, getting up above with the loud explosions ringing in Keita's ear.
But Himiko noticed something about it as he fired another one after pausing.
"So, he has to use it infrequently...or rather, he's unable to see while using the Quirk...that's going to be a deciding factor for us. But he also has another Quirk...his damn clock hair that could cause us to be slowed down...if we're hit, then we could be finished off..."
Himiko thought as Katsuki went to shoot an explosion down at him, only for Chronostasis' hair to come shooting out at close range. Thanks to her ability to change positions in the air, she shot back away from the extending hair, only to see that a large wave of electricity was coming for her body.
"Shit…."
Grimacing at the sight, Katsuki used an explosion to combat the wave of electricity, but it came too fast, and hit her hands before she could dispel it with an explosion, shocking her hands just enough that they felt almost nearly numb.
Panting from that, Katsuki went to move when she found that her hands reacted a bit slower now thanks to the lightning, which meant she wouldn't be able to move as fast. Himiko herself also saw it, and took one of her knives, tossing it for Chronostasis' leg to disable him.
"Yeah right, little girl."
His hair shot down to the ground, becoming like a barrier for him, stopping the knife from stabbing him.
But then he saw Himiko jumping at high speeds, getting in close, and slashed towards the right hand side of his face.
His eyes opened in her location, and shot off a good dose of electricity for her.
She grimaced, but Katsuki managed to get in close by running fast, and aim a point blank explosion right for Chronostasis.
"Why don't you disappear asshole?!"
Katsuki unleashed the powerful explosion.
It was so strong that the ground below had large cracks in it.
Chronostasis himself gasped as the explosion shot him away from Himiko.
But she still received some of the electricity, and ran through her system.
It dropped her down to the ground, Katsuki showed a surprising concerned look.
But she didn't get a chance to ask her, as another bolt of electricity came shooting out.
"Nowhere to run now. If you move, the lightning will hit her, and this will be lethal."
Katsuki growled.
She hated that Chronostasis was so cold and put her in this kind of situation.
Being forced to defend against it, Katsuki's explosions smoke grew higher and higher like a campfire signal as she detonated again and again, blowing away the waves of electricity. Katsuki had to stay and make sure that Himiko wasn't struck again.
"Hey Vampire! Get up already!"
Katsuki said between explosions.
Himiko groaned.
Feeling her muscles tingling from the lightning, she felt numb.
As if she wouldn't be able to move at all.
But seeing Katsuki try hard, she also had to try hard...
But then she saw two clock hands shooting through the smoke. Katsuki blasted one of them away, but had to also blast away the electricity, so one of the clock hands managed to cut her, slowing down her movements.
Himiko began to panic as Chronostasis pulled a gun out, aiming it for Katsuki.
"This method is much easier, the electricity really is killer on the eyes."
Katsuki's body was moving in slow motion.
There was no way she'd be able to deflect a gunshot.
She was going to die...and Himiko couldn't do anything at all...
She kept thinking what Keita would do in this situation.
How he'd handle it...
Because she couldn't move, Katsuki had stayed to protect her.
She could have blasted both clock hair hands away if she wasn't concerned about protecting her from the electricity.
Himiko's face turned sadder and sadder as Chronostasis mocked Katsuki's attempts at moving.
Himiko's fingers tried to claw her way to her feet.
But it was useless...
All she could do was watch on as Katsuki was going to be shot...
She wished Keita would come and help...
She wished that she was Keita, as his Quirk would be able to save Katsuki...
If she could just do something...
Anything to save Katsuki from being killed...
"NO!"
Himiko yelled, as something extraordinary happened.
In her moment of panic, Himiko donned Keita's form since she drunk his blood just before the battle started, and her fingertips touched the ground.
Himiko watched as the ground began to twist, and bend...because of her...
No, that wasn't her...rather, it was Keita's Quirk.
It activated...in the panic of Katsuki dying, and her own fears of watching someone she liked die...
She knew how Keita's Quirk worked, so she flicked her hand forward, causing the earth to shoot out in a large pillar, something she had seen Keita do before.
"W-What the hell is that?!"
Chronostasis became worried, and shot off some electricity for it, but it only broke through some of it.
The rest of the earth slammed deep into his body, blasting Chronostasis half way across the USJ, surprising even Himiko herself.
"What the hell...? How did I...I used...Kei-chan's Quirk..."
Himiko panted, watching as the transformation slipped away.
Katsuki recovered after a minute, and could move normally again.
So she went to Himiko's side, and helped her up.
"You alright?"
"C-Concerned about me?"
Katsuki huffed.
"You protected me...somehow."
"I don't know...I've never done that before..."
"I see. By the way, what did he mean when he said experiment on Kei?"
Himiko stiffened.
Katsuki looked on curiously.
"Oi! Tell me what's going on!"
"Kacchan...don't ask me. I can't tell you anything about that."
Hearing her suddenly talking in a softer, almost sadder tone, Katsuki was surprised.
"...What he said...was it true?"
"...I can't say anything. Just...trust me, Kei-chan right now is facing down a nightmare that many wouldn't be able to understand...not even the most seasoned Hero's could..."
She couldn't say it, but she knew that Keita had known the sting of death so many times, no one could really understand it well.
Katsuki was now even more intrigued.
And also more worried as well.
What Keita must be going through…
What Himiko said…
That was no easy thing to say, so now it made her all the more curious as to what was truly going on.
Back with Keita and the others. As they were having a stand off, Keita noticed that Izuku, Tsuyu and Mineta were coming closer in the water. When seeing the situation, they paused, and didn't make a sound, so Keita diverted his eyes from them to not give their location away.
Keita looked down towards Eri, then towards the others.
If they could get Eri away…
Keita locked eyes with Izuku.
Izuku raised an eyebrow, wondering what he was looking straight at him for...rather, seeing the expression Keita had, it seemed that he had a serious look on his face.
Izuku watched as he moved Eri ever so slightly, then looked towards Izuku and Eri very discreetly, the best way that he could do.
Izuku seemed to understand and gave a very slight nod.
Keita turned back to Kai.
"Brother...don't kill him."
"You're leaving me with little choice Keita."
"He isn't involved with this..."
"He is involved Keita as soon as he stepped between me and you."
Anything could get in his way, and it would be slaughtered by Kai if he deemed it fit to do so.
Keita pulled forward as Kai smirked.
"Have you decided to stop with the fighting back? Because you can save a lot of people if you simply do as I say."
"I can't...go back to that big brother, so I have to stop you."
"And how are you going to do that?"
Kai was genuinely intrigued.
Keita knew he had little options…
But he still had some chances.
"I'll do what it takes...these people, haven't done anything to you. Let them go, please."
"You know that I can't."
Tomura became increasingly impatient, tapping his foot onto the ground.
"Excuse me! But I came here to kill All Might! Can you leave here? Whatever you're doing, get lost, now!"
Kai gave him a smirk.
"You are a child, aren't you?"
Tomura's forehead gained a vein, showing his anger growing.
"You what?"
"I said, you're a child. You know nothing of the world of Villain's. Does All For One baby you that much?"
Tomura, feeling insulted, began showing his enraged side.
"Tch, you piss me off! Say one more word, and I'll have Nomu exterminate you!"
"Relying on brainless creatures. Then again, for the brainless Master like you, these creatures do suit you rather well."
"That's it!" Tomura shot his eyes to Nomu. "Nomu! Kill that one! There with the child!" Tomura gave Kai a condescending look as Nomu turned its eyes to Keita who held Eri close. "How do you like that? Your precious baby brother is about to die! Haha! Now who's the better Villain huh!?"
"Big mistake you little bastard, no one targets my brother and gets away with it."
Kai tapped the ground, but as he did, the Nomu had already shot off for Keita.
Keita watched how fast it was.
The speed was incredible.
But for Keita, he could clearly see it moving, even if it was only a little.
He managed to use the ground to propel him away from Nomu's giant fists. But he also saw Eri was going to be in danger, and he now was the target of Nomu, so he had to get her away.
"Eri-chan, don't worry, you'll be safe."
He placed Eri on the ground, and forced it to become like a wave, shooting it for Izuku and the others to get her away, Keita also used his Quirk to create a giant wall before him to stop Nomu's advances.
Nomu's fists punched the wall, and Tomura was in surprise when seeing that it didn't go down in the first blow, so he punched more and more, Keita seeing the cracks being formed thanks to the strength that Nomu had.
Kai watched on with intrigue, seeing Eri's body moving quickly, while Keita held off Nomu.
To Kai...it was rather incredible that he was able to do something like that.
Tomura though looked more pissed that Keita had managed to move Eri while blocking off Nomu, so his body rushed Eri.
"You little brat! I'll make sure that you are killed!"
Izuku, seeing this, gasped and jumped toward Tomura.
His fist lit up with his Quirk, and tried to punch Tomura in the face before he could even reach Eri.
But Kurogiri used his Quirk to warp Izuku back into the water, his fist creating a massive explosion of water, flinging Izuku, and Mineta backwards. But Tsuyu had already jumped forward, and got before Eri in a protective stance.
"Little frog, you're going to be turned to dust!"
Aizawa tried to move his head to look.
To stop his Quirk from touching Tsuyu, but Kai's binds weren't allowing him to do so.
Keita tried to stop it, but Nomu hit Keita's upper body, flinging him backwards.
But he wouldn't allow himself to be stopped, so flipped in the air, despite the pain he took from Nomu, and placed his hand on the ground, hoping he'd be able to Rewrite from the distance he was at.
Kai himself just watched, not really caring about what happened to Tsuyu, and instead used his Quirk to erupt spikes around Nomu, penetrating several of his limbs, and then caused them to shatter, so Nomu would fall down to the floor, while Eri began shaking from seeing Tomura coming so close.
"Kei-chan..."
"It's alright Eri-chan! I'm coming!"
Keita tried harder, pushing his Quirk further and further, but he could see that his Quirk wasn't going to make it in time.
"Asui-san! Eri-chan!"
Izuku, who was in the water, did the same thing, and tried to help the best that he could.
To save Tsuyu, to save Eri…
Keita took out one of the weighted seals, and thought that maybe…
Just maybe he'd be able to get it to hit Tomura faster than Keita Rewriting the ground from the distance he was at.
Tomura's hand's shadow encompassed Tsuyu's and Eri's faces, inch by inch, Tsuyu could see her life passing before her eyes.
She was close to being killed.
She just knew it.
Keita could see the fear on Eri's face, seeing her repeating "No...please..." again and again.
That, broke his heart.
He couldn't protect the Boss…
He was watching one of his new friends, and the girl he took care of, be in danger of dying…
"TSU-CHAN! ERI-CHAN!"
As his hand threw the weighted seal, Keita saw for the first time that sparks of electricity came to his hands, and then, as it surrounded his weighted seal, Keita felt a pulse come from his hand, and shoot off the weighted seal faster than Keita could ever throw it.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Keita looked stunned as the seal hit Tomura's arm so hard that he felt something cracking, and he unleashed an unholy cry. His arm felt pained, and his hand dropped away from Tsuyu, as Izuku made it, grabbing the pair of them, and ran away from Tomura, who shot eyes for Keita, only to see an angry look back.
"Don't ever try anything with Eri-chan, because I'll protect her with my life."
Tomura blinked in bewilderment, seeing the seriousness on Keita's face, the tone he used and what he'd do if Tomura did target Eri again...Tomura had to admit that he was in between bemused, worried and curious.
"Kei-chan!"
Keita dismissed his own thoughts for a few moments and offered a reassuring smile for Eri who was in Izuku's arms.
"It's okay, you'll be safe."
"Kei-chan..."
Eri looked to him with appreciation, Keita continued smiling at her as she was taken to safety by Izuku, which he was thankful for.
But then Keita couldn't ignore what had just happened, and ended up looking at his hands, bewildered.
"What the hell...what just happened...that feeling I've been having...that weird electrical field..."
Remembering back to the weird feelings he's been having lately, as if something was trying to escape from him...
Kai gave an intrigued look.
"So, Electromagnetic Bullet is the first one you awakened..."
Kai murmured, but Keita caught it.
Keita's face turned pale.
He turned to Kai who was continuing to look at him.
"W-What did you say? Electromagnetic...Bullet...?"
Kai just stared at him.
Keita didn't accept it, and said once more.
"What just happened to me!? You knew right away...you did this to me...what did you do to me?"
Keita questioned, wondering what had just happened...and more importantly, why it had happened in the first place.
That...wasn't Keita's Quirk, yet he used it...Keita didn't understand how he could use it...and Kai seemed to know instantly what had happened, what it was called, which was all the more worrying for him.
Kai gave a reassuring look.
"Little brother, don't be so concerned. It's something that had to be done for us-"
Before Kai could finish, the doors to the USJ violently opened.
Keita and the others turned to see All Might stood there.
Upon seeing Kai, All Might's eyes turned angry, and upon seeing Keita face to face with him, he also displayed his worry for the boy increase as Kai could try and grab him, and take him away…
No, he wouldn't allow it.
"KAI CHISAKI! LEAGUE OF VILLAINS! YOUR VILLAINY SHALL BE STOPPED BY ME!"
Kai sighed at the sight before him.
He didn't want to have to deal with All Might.
But then looked to the Nomu of Tomura's, and raised an eyebrow, wondering if that could help him out.
Keita himself kept looking at his hands, not sure what he had actually done.
What Kai said…
Electromagnetic Bullets…?
What was that?
A Quirk?
But, why would Keita have that?
That thought, and others ran through his mind.
It seemed things had only become more complicated…
End chapter!
So, we got the somewhat Kai vs Keita fight this chapter, how Keita was able to react to Kai, and how he also managed to beat back some Villains to protect Eri, and even stop Nomu for a little while. Tomura seemed to become somewhat interested in Keita, but as Tomura is, seemed to flip flop between being interested, and also wanting to kill him to spite Kai who'd been angering him.
Meanwhile, the others around the USJ were handling their situations, with Izuku and the others teaming up, Katsuki and Himiko also did a team up and fought against Chronostasis. Katsuki protected Himiko, and she did the same, surprising even herself by using Keita's Quirk, someone she's close to and has good knowledge of his Quirk, managing to blast Chronostasis away.
Keita and Rappa had a proper reunion, and spoke briefly, Rappa trying his best, and somewhat failing, to hide his pride for Keita, and relief that he's having a better life now.
Kai also fought Aizawa briefly, but managed to get the upper hand and nearly gouged his eyes out when Keita showed up, and at the end, to save Tsuyu and Eri from Tomura, Keita unknowingly at that moment activated a new Quirk! Or rather, for the first time seemed to be aware that something was happening, with small allusions to it being in previous chapters. And Kai seemed fully aware of it as well! What's actually going on with that shall be revealed soon.
Well, until next time, thanks for reading!
