Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!
Yamajiji; We'll see what happens with Kai now~ Yeah, it's gonna be rather exciting.
Clarent excalibur; Thanks! Yeah, it is something Mirio would do~
NinjaFang1331; Thanks! He is yeah~
ShadowUzumaki55; Yeah, it was quite the ride. Keita's showing the growth he's had from the beginning till now, how he's not going to take anymore of Kai's crap. They definitely have been growing and upping their games. He did yeah, he didn't want anyone else to suffer, so tried his best to protect All Might. Kirishima's quite like that~ They're definitely going to have a rematch one day.
CPU-BLANC-WHITE HEART; Yeah, quite cool~ Keita does know him quite well, and knows how to stop Kai in more ways than just physically doing so. It does seem that while Kai is mostly heartless, he still does have a softer side for Keita, and wishes to make sure that he's alright and taken care of.
Jose19; Keita and Kai will have clashes, and alright then~
lord web of life of destiny; Yeah, it's going to be pretty intense!
Perkysine; Thanks very much! I'm glad you're enjoying it, and I'll try my best!
Silver crow; Thanks! He pretty much did yeah. Keita knows his brother pretty well so he can see through his words and his actions to a good degree. He did yeah. He can't tell them everything, it's still an ongoing investigation, he can tell them some but not all. I'm sure he's going to see them eventually. Yup, Keita managed to take all three of them by surprise, shows how far he's come with it. They'll come eventually. Keita did yeah, he told Kai what he felt, and for a moment, it seems that he actually felt remorse about it. Rappa even hinted quite a bit he only did enough damage so Kirishima would be incapacitated, if he went serious he'd kill him in a single barrage of punches at this point in the story. It's cool when All Might gets to do his thing. We'll see if he does or doesn't. I'm sure he'll get praise for saving All Might. It's going to be an intense battle. Yeah, for Avatar, he'll have his own path he'll go down. For Akeno's brother, he could have hair like that. Yeah, for Naruto, Sakura will do some useful stuff during part 1 along with showing more of the potential I believe she had in the main series. You never know, they could do. He could be a Senju, or something else, who knows~ Depends on the heat of battle, he might not have time to fully change someone's thoughts when being attacked when he first begins to use it, and could only use it to force someone to shoot the attack somewhere else. As he grows, his usage of it will get better like Sasuke's did with his. Kaguya did have some cool powers. We'll see what his Susanoo has and can do~ Right now, either white, or silver for the colour.
Neonlight01; He did yeah, Keita knows his brother quite well. Keita has yeah, we'll see a bit more in this chapter. Kirishima tried his hardest yeah. It's going to be quite wild, and thanks for the suggestions.
Bigboybardo; Thanks very much!
Guest 1; Thanks for the votes! Most of them are, I don't know about the Avatar story yet.
Guest 2; They'd be able to relate to one another due to their pasts, they'd have a good time as friends, and could probably have fun together.
Guest 3; Yeah, maybe they could be. Thanks for the suggestion! He could bring up things like that. I like the idea of a gunblade, sounds cool to me~
Well, with the reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!
USJ part three
Standing face to face with his brother, Keita knew that he had to fight him now. Even if he didn't have a chance. He was aware that help would come eventually, until then he'd have to make sure that the others were safe from his elder brothers attack.
Katsuki stood next to him, as did Himiko and Shoto.
But Keita turned to them, and exhaled slowly.
"Thirteen-sensei is out there somewhere. I don't know what's happened...but, Thirteen-sensei might need our help, and the others that haven't arrived back at the entrance. There's still Villains that could be around."
"We can't just leave you to fight off your mental brother!"
Katsuki argued, Kai's eyebrow twitched as he conversed with his own men.
"Maybe not...but, we can't let our classmates and Sensei die either."
Himiko folded her arms, then slowly nods her head.
"He's right, we should help the others."
Shoto didn't like the idea of leaving Keita alone with his brother.
But seeing the fierce look in his eyes, it was very obvious that Keita wasn't going to back down from his elder brother.
"I'll go and search for the others."
"Yeah, me too Kei-chan."
Katsuki snarled, and simply gave an annoyed look.
"You better be fine Kei! Understood?!"
"Heh, don't worry about me Kacchan...I've dealt with my brother before, this time wont be any different...no, rather, it will be different. I wont allow him to hurt any of my friends...not anymore, okay?"
Katsuki didn't like it, but she agreed, and took off with the others.
Keita's eyes went towards Eri, seeing that she was being looked after by Tsuyu. He knew later on that he'd have to thank Tsuyu for helping him out by taking care of Eri.
Eri looked towards Keita with worry, so Keita relieved her worries.
"Don't worry Eri-chan! I'll be right there!"
He announced so loud that everyone in the area heard him.
That inspired Eri.
Eri began smiling, and yelled "KEI-CHAN! PLEASE WIN!" which Keita gave a bright smile towards her, assuring her that he'd do his best, no matter what would happen.
Kai himself remained calm and collected.
"Now that you're alone...come with me."
"No."
"Don't make me fight you Keita, you wont win."
"Winning doesn't mean surviving. I'll survive against you. I don't have to win. And you don't know, what I've learned while being away from you."
Kai gave an amused smile.
Tomura on the other hand didn't like the idea of Kai, seeing Kurogiri in between conscious and unconscious, seeing how his Nomu had been blown away, so he began moving forward with a grudge to grind.
"Hey you boy!"
Tomura gained Keita's attention.
"What?"
"That bastard brother of yours ruined my plans! I wont let him get away with it!"
"Eh...why are you telling me?"
Tomura showed a smirk.
"You'll know in a minute why." Tomura thrusted a finger towards Kai. "You really piss me off."
"I don't have time to deal with you. Leave, or die."
Kai threatened, but Tomura just scoffed.
"If that's how you feel, then I'll slay you right now!"
Tomura shot off towards Kai as fast as he could.
Kai rolled his eyes, and simply tapped the ground, causing an array of spikes to come out, but Tomura used surprising swiftness to dodge out of the way of most of the spikes.
Some almost penetrated his body, but Keita saw this as a chance for him to get some ground on Kai.
Maybe he couldn't beat him, but if he could use this opportunity of Tomura fighting Kai, then maybe there could be a chance, so he caused the spikes around Tomura to bend around and shoot back for Kai at high speeds.
"Keita!"
Kai berated, and created a thick wall of the earth before him. The spikes pierced the wall, and caused several large holes in said wall, while Tomura placed his hands on the wall, and it began to decay suddenly.
The process wasn't that fast, but it was deadly in its own way.
Seeing the decaying wall, Keita used that chance to erupt more spikes through the wall, while Kai grimaces.
"Shit..."
Using his speed, Kai tries to move around all of the spikes that came at him from all over the area, all coming for him, Kai counting eight of them.
They were all just far enough that Kai would have trouble destroying all in a single burst with spikes.
"Keita, you've learned well."
Kai murmured.
"Haha! Now die!"
Tomura got in close, and tried to grab Kai's hand to decay him, only for Kai to whip his leg out, slamming it into the face of Tomura, however Tomura's hand managed to grab a piece of Kai's shirt, and it began to decay.
Kai's eyes widened, and using his Quirk Overhaul, he ripped apart the piece of shirt that was affected by Tomura's Quirk, only for Kai to see Keita's pillars incoming, three of them smashing into his upper body, and sent him flying backwards.
Kai spat out some blood but used his Quirk to Overhaul Keita's pillars, destroying a large section of them.
Flipping, Kai landed on the ground, and quickly Overhauled himself, fixing the injuries that Keita had just given him.
But saw that five more pillars were coming towards him.
"You have gotten better."
Kai flicked the ground and allowed his spikes to shoot for Keita, hoping to pin him down before his attack could reach him.
Keita knew he'd have to defend, so he was going to call off his attack on Kai…
When Tomura suddenly got before Keita, and grabbed some of the spikes, using his own Quirk of Decay to cause it to crumble, and the ones that went by him, Keita had managed to dodge around, and still continue his assault with the earth pillars.
Kai's eyes widened as did Keita's, seeing Tomura actually protecting Keita, neither understood.
"Don't get the wrong idea, I just don't like this bastard gang guy."
Tomura explained to Keita, while Kai rolled his eyes.
"Yakuza, All For One's puppet."
Kai corrected, Keita raised an eyebrow at what was going on.
Seeing Tomura still helping him was surprising. Even if he didn't like Kai. Did he expect him and Keita to team up together and take down Kai?
He didn't know how he felt about teaming up with them. He thought he'd be able to play them off and get an advantage somehow. But actually teaming up with a Villain didn't feel right to Keita.
"Yakuza is it? Then that makes sense. Master did tell me about you after all, the young Yakuza member with a good deal of power. But it wont be enough for the League, you wont be able to challenge me and win!"
Kai didn't respond, seeing the pillars of earth continuing for him.
Kai though formed another wall around himself, acting as a dome, as he fished into his pocket, and brought out a Quirk drug, something made from Keita, and revealed it to be a Quirk allowing him to see body heat, injecting himself with it, his eyes glowed and he looked towards the locations of Keita and Tomura.
"Time to end this...Tomura, Keita."
Kai didn't want to hurt his little brother.
But, he wasn't leaving without Keita, not this time.
Meanwhile, Himiko was able to find some people first, and she came across Aoyama who was on his own.
He was hiding behind a rock, and she only found him because she could hear some sounds coming out of him.
Bending down towards him, she pokes his forehead, but he cries out, and his laser shoots out, almost hitting her body.
"Geez! Don't do that!"
Himiko complained, Aoyama placed a hand on his chest, and breathed deeply.
"S-Sorry, but I was surrounded by Villains, and I ran away as fast as I could! I didn't mean to fire my laser! I got scared!"
Himiko gave him a curious stare, before shrugging.
"Either way, come on. We're going now."
"R-Right...a-are we safe?"
Himiko couldn't answer that.
"Lets just go."
Aoyama didn't like the fact that she skated around his question.
But he had to go now, since he knew the Villains could come back and cause mayhem.
Back with Keita and Tomura, the latter ran forward as quickly as he could.
Keita didn't know if he had a plan or not. Tomura was rather unpredictable, and he couldn't even read him. He seemed to be calm one second, then angry the next, then worried, then childlike.
He hadn't come across someone like Tomura before.
While Keita was thinking and also planning his own attack, Tomura began laughing loudly.
"Coward! Come out of your earth dome! And I'll show you how to cause true suffering! I'll end you! Hahahaha!"
Keita winced at the crazy sounds coming out of Tomura.
The moment that he was getting near, Keita saw the ground shifting and tried to call out...but Tomura yells "Bastard!" as the spikes came shooting out, forcing Tomura to move backwards while Keita jumped forward, and took control over the spikes, allowing them to bend right back towards Kai himself.
However, they suddenly shattered the moment he did, something that Keita was surprised about.
"Damn..."
He guessed that Kai used Overhaul to do that.
But he couldn't see them.
He was trapped within his own dome of the earth, so how he made new movements.
"He must have a Quirk that allows him to see us somehow, or feel us..."
Keita guessed that it had to be that, there would be no other way Kai would have known about him being like that, so he ran forward himself, trying to break down the dome so they'd be able to see Kai once more.
Kai from inside of the dome could see Keita coming, so he allowed multiple walls of the earth to appear.
Tomura, seeing what was going on, looked towards Keita.
"Hey, get me over there!"
"Eh..."
"We both hate your damn brother, lets kick his ass together!"
Keita didn't like the idea of it, but to stop his brother from progressing, he knew he'd have to at least cooperate with Tomura for the moment, and hopefully be able to arrest him after the fact, so he created a slide for Tomura.
"Okay...go for it."
"Good, seeing it my way!"
Tomura jumped onto the slide himself, and got towards the walls before Keita.
Using his Quirk, Tomura decayed the first wall, as Keita used the ground around him to propel himself forward with Tomura in front of him. Allowing Tomura to weaken the wall with decay, Keita could barge through it without wasting his energies.
He still had to make sure that All Might lived after the battle.
Regardless of what he was going to happen.
Tomura and Keita's tagteam allowed them to barge through the walls with apparent ease, something Tomura noticed also, and allowed a small smirk to appear on his face, and looked towards Keita.
"We make quite the team. Wanna join the League?"
"No thanks."
Tomura huffed.
"I could make you."
Keita shuddered as Tomura jumped down towards the dome Kai was hiding in. Using his Quirk, the earth dome began to crumble, but Tomura was in for a rude surprise, as a spike shot out, and pierced Tomura's right shoulder, causing him to scream out loud.
"You're going to make my little brother do something, are you? I don't think so."
Kai dislodged the spike from Tomura's shoulder, and reached out towards him.
"You stay away from me you bastard!"
Tomura tried to reach out despite the pain he felt, but Kai had already thought of that, and impaled his hand with a knife, pushing it away as Kai's fingers continued to go for Tomura's face...
...Only for Keita to sent pillars of the earth for Kai himself, Kai had to abandon his plans for Tomura, and turn back to Keita, using his Overhaul Quirk to create more spikes, and combated Keita's earth pillars.
"Come on little brother, show me your power."
"Fine, I will."
The attacks collided, and the earth spikes and pillars smashed together to create a giant shockwave between them.
The students felt it from all the way they were at a good distance, even Izuku who was hidden with All Might felt the shockwave, Tomura was flung away by it, and smashed into the ground near Kurogiri.
Keita struggled to stay on his feet as did Kai.
But they both stayed up, and continued sending off their earth attacks at one another, Kai was surprised Keita was able to combat him this well. Earth spike for earth pillar from Kai and Keita respectably.
Tomura watched on, seeing that Kai and Keita were busy, so he nudged Kurogiri.
"While they're distracted...go and snap All Might in half."
"Yes...but what about you Tomura Shigaraki?"
"I need to watch this...boy, he's strong. I want him to join the League...I want him to join beside me and we'll take down everyone...I can see why that Kai bastard said his brother and him could fight All For One...it seems that he might not be wrong...now go, and kill All Might."
Kurogiri did as asked, and used his Quirk to warp himself away.
Kai and Keita continued throwing earth strikes against one another, Kai could feel Keita's Quirk being able to empower his earth strikes and was slowly gaining ground on Kai, which was surprising in of itself.
Kai had to take a chance so he moved forward, and touched an earth pillar near Keita's body while his right arm took a blow from Keita's earth attack, Overhauling it to become a prison of the earth to pin down Keita.
"Now you'll be stopped!"
Kai gave an assured look.
But when it got close, Keita used Rewrite to turn the cage outwards at a speed that Kai was surprised Keita could achieve, it was faster than a good number of Pro's he had fought before, protecting himself from being pinned down.
"No, I wont big brother."
Keita used his own Quirk to form what seemed to be giant hands of the earth. Keita used them to pick up broken pieces of rubble from the ground, and tossed them with such force, the students were left flabbergasted at how Keita was managing to actually do that.
Kai was forced to dodge out of the way, while Keita sent one of the fists towards him in a heavy duty punch.
Kai Overhauled the ground to allow him to slide out of the way, only to see that Keita had used the other giant hand to throw him towards Kai himself, and got in close, his foot extending out, and sent it towards Kai in a flash.
"Damn it!"
Kai blocks the kick, but he was surprised by the sudden impact, his arm felt like it was breaking slightly. It felt like that with the pain anyway. Though his arm didn't break, Keita still used that chance to force the giant hand towards Kai from up above by touching the ground, barely missing Keita while catching Kai up in it…
Or so was the plan.
Kai in the nick of time managed to use his Quirk to create an array of spikes to pierce through the giant earth hand, shattering the pairs attacks apart.
Keita panted while Kai had to admit he was beginning to feel the strain of using his Quirk and reacting to Keita's attacks.
Even the other students were amazed by Keita managing to fight Kai, and what kind of techniques he was pulling out.
"He didn't show them at the Battle Trial ribbit. Those techniques I mean."
Tsuyu observed, Eri looked worried for Keita, while Ochaco giggled nervously.
"Yeah...he's definitely a good deal strong."
"Probably one of the strongest in the class..."
Sero murmured, while Mineta paled.
Mina bent down towards Mineta and giggled.
"What's wrong Mineta-kun?"
"T-Those giant hands! He could crush people with them! Why didn't he whip these out before?!"
"Probably because it takes a lot of technique, skill, or what have you to be able to pull it off." Tsuyu explained. "It seems that Keita-chan is able to use them but it will become more difficult. It's like other Hero's, everyone has limits after all."
Tsuyu's explanation made sense as to why he hadn't done it before.
But still Mineta could feel fear creeping up on him.
Seeing Keita pulling off an attack like that, he didn't want to have to fight him.
Eri kept her eyes on Keita, and kept worrying for him. Seeing him fighting Kai, she didn't want anything bad to happen to him, and wanted to make sure that he remained safe and sound, whatever was going to happen.
Kai felt the urge to give applause to Keita, seeing the fact that Keita had improved so much. To react to him, to actually battle his earth to a stalemate was a feat in of itself, and seeing how he was able keep a sound mind while fighting, which brought it all to a good feeling to Kai.
"You and I are brothers Keita, you don't have to be my enemy. We've always had things in common. Like our Quirks. Yours can be so much more than you've shown it to be. Your Quirk can Rewrite anything Keita, you could even destroy things if you tried hard enough."
Keita largely ignored Kai trying to connect with him.
He just couldn't allow Kai to use that angle against him.
"Something you kept from me for years, now you're telling me, why?"
Kai shrugged.
"Maybe it's because it's been a while since I've spent time with you and wish to talk to you."
"You want to talk? Fine...tell me something."
Kai raised an eyebrow.
"What?"
"What I did before...how was I able to do that? That Quirk...was not my own. I know that you used my blood to create Quirks from others DNA...but, why do I have other Quirks?"
"How do you think I discovered it in the first place?"
Kai's words sent a shiver through Keita's body.
"...I know you experimented on me...but, you put others Quirks into me...didn't you? Tell me...did you…?"
"Years ago, I saw your potential, your power, and I knew your Quirk was more than it seemed."
"But you didn't have to do anything with that knowledge..."
As they talked, Mirio managed to slip into the building, and saw Kai near Keita.
He didn't want to give himself away immediately, so he quietly got in close, seeing that Kai was speaking to Keita.
Thankfully, it meant that Keita wasn't in immediate danger, so it allowed him to get in close.
"When I first realized what your power could do, I began to understand the true potential of you."
"...But these Quirks inside me now..."
Kai continued regardless of the worried look on Keita's face.
"Because, I saw your power, I realized that you couldn't just bend things, and put things back together, you changed things, introduce new things to a body and connect it together, like connecting a Quirk through someone's DNA into someone else's body. Your power has great potential. That's why together, All Might, All For One, nothing can stand in our way Keita."
"You haven't answered...that Quirk I used...where did it come from?"
"It doesn't matter-"
"It matters to me!" Keita snapped, beginning to feel sick as he realized a disgusting truth. "Tell me...tell me you didn't kill people...and put their Quirk Factor into me...so you could see if I'd be able to replicate Quirks...please tell me you didn't do that..."
Kai could see the almost fear in Keita's eyes.
The horror of what Kai could have done.
"That's exactly what I did." Keita, appalled, placed a hand over his mouth, looking down at himself and felt as if he was going to throw up. "I did it, for us. We were on the streets, then we were taken in, and people spat at the Yakuza. The Boss might have been alright with it...but I wasn't. I promised I'd become the strongest, and to make sure that we'd never have to suffer again..."
"So you killed people...and experimented on me...and put their Quirks into me...those poor people..."
"Since it was early into the development, some Quirks are harder to draw out than the perfected product that I have now. But unlike the ones I make...I was able to stabilize them inside of you, to give them permanently to your body. It's because of your body that it permanently bonded to your body and allows you to produce the Quirk as if it was natural. I've been searching of ways to continue to stay in the system of others, but have had limited success...but you, are perfect. The powers are deep inside of you, those sacrifices mean nothing if we can obtain power, and bring down the old light and darkness of this world...you Keita, can give power to others, to yourself...your potential is only limited by your imagination, take the scum of this world, and use their powers Keita, together with me we will finally stand on top..."
Kai paused when he saw something he hated to see.
Keita was quietly reflecting on what Kai had said, and his face told a thousand words on how Keita was feeling.
The pure disgust and sadness of the situation.
Because he knew people had died because of Kai.
He didn't know if they were good, or evil, or what.
It didn't matter.
The fact that Kai experimented on people, killing them, and forced their Quirks into Keita's body.
Kai suddenly felt a pang within his heart, seeing what pain he had caused his brother.
"Keita-"
"CHISAKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"
Before Kai could move in close, Mirio managed to slam his fist deep into Kai's face as he called out his name.
Kai was blind sided by the attack, and was flung away from Keita, smashing him deep into a rocky formation, and even broke his nose from the impact of Mirio's fist...
"That, was for Keita-kun!"
Kai's defiant eyes glared angrily at Mirio who stood there with the full intention to fight.
Watching from the distance, Izuku tried his best to keep All Might as stable as possible. Seeing Keita fight Kai, and although he couldn't hear what was going on, he could see that Keita was going through many emotions.
Unknown to Izuku though was a dark fog was forming behind him.
All Might by now was trying his best to keep awake, but found it difficult.
When seeing the dark fog, he saw it travelling towards him, below him.
"Y...Young...Midoriya..."
All Might mustered all the voice he could do, and looked down
Izuku looked down, and saw Kurogiri's fog form coming down, so he began to panic…
No, he didn't have time to panic.
He had to do something to protect All Might, so he stood before him, also covering his frail form so Kurogiri couldn't see All Might like he was, and began punching through the fog before it could get close to All Might, but his fists went through the fog several times, and he couldn't reach anything that resembled a body.
"If you continue, I'll warp your body parts into different sections."
Kurogiri threatened, Izuku though didn't back down and kept his hands in a fist fighting position.
Izuku looked around for anything that could help him find a weak point…
Kurogiri used his portal to thrust his hand to the right of Izuku's head, punching him so hard that he fell down to the floor.
"Young Midoriya..."
All Might winced, but Izuku didn't give up, pulling himself to his feet, only to see that more portals opened around him, and a few fists managed to come through them, Izuku crossed his arms over his body, and received a number of punches.
"I wont move...I wont let you hurt All Might..."
But he found them to be comparably weaker than the ones he had received before.
Still, being bombarded by fists wasn't his favourite thing.
So he looked between the portals, and timed which one came out of which since it seemed to be switching constantly.
Predicting each movement, Izuku began seeing a pattern going down, and predicting which fist would come from where.
After half a minute, he believed he got it down, so he reached forward, and as the fist came out, Izuku grabbed the wrist, and yanked it forward, pulling Kurogiri hard enough that he lost balance momentarily.
"Have this!"
Izuku managed to tighten his hand, and summon his power, One For All's power.
But he remembered what Keita had said, about limiting the power.
He recalled what All Might had done many times.
He could do it also…
If he could just channel the power into his arm…
His fist…
"Have this!"
He thrusted his fist outwards, and created a strong pressure of wind that shot him flying through the air, dispelling the mist at the same time, All Might looked astonished, as Izuku managed to pull off an attack to blast Kurogiri away from them.
Izuku felt his arm breaking as a result of the fist attack, and he winced at the feeling.
"Young Midoriya...you are learning..."
All Might smiled at his apprentice, seeing that he was protecting him. And while his arm did break...he was proud to see that he wasn't about to give up, even when he didn't have the best control over his Quirk.
As that happened, Jiro, and Momo watched as Kaminari, in his dunce mode, was being held up by a hulking man. Momo, brushed a hand over her face, and began speaking.
"So, you've managed to capture Kaminari-san!" She yelled out, Jiro giving her a curious look. "This Villain, I don't know what I'm supposed to do...if I can distract him somehow, maybe I could make a lightning rod to take his electricity, then maybe I could take him down, or maybe Jiro-san could..."
Jiro continued to look at Momo who held her hands up, as she did as well.
But, then she turned back to the enemy.
"It seems that we were caught in a dangerous situation."
"I don't want to kill someone who's an electric type like me." He held out his hand, and it began sending electricity out of his hand, indicating his Quirk. "But, I guess I have no choice, huh."
The man began walking forward, while his hand was electrically charged.
Momo watched on, wishing that she could do something.
But, it was Jiro who had thought of something, and began conversing with the Villain.
"Electric types like you and Kaminari are born winners, aren't you?"
Momo's eyes went towards Jiro who kept on a normal face.
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
While continuing to speak, she sent her earlobe down her back, and towards her boot, Momo realizing what she was doing, didn't give it away and hoped that Jiro could do it, while from behind her right knee, she began making a lightning rod, so she'd be able to help out Jiro if she needed to do so.
"I mean, even if you don't want to become a Hero. There's plenty of jobs you can do. You're in great demand though. It is just a thought I had." Sliding closer and closer to her boot, she thought that she had this in the bag. "It's fine if you don't want to answer me though. I wont be offended or anything."
The Villain could see through Jiro's moves and words.
"Give it up." Momo and Jiro jerked. "Did you think I wouldn't notice your earlobes and that rod behind your knee?" Jiro didn't have a choice but to bring her earlobe back up as the man held his sparking hand towards Kaminari. "If you two don't put up a fight, I will let him go."
"Somehow, I don't really believe you."
Momo put her thoughts across, hoping that help would come soon.
"Is that so? Well, you don't have to believe me. But, if you want your little buddy here alive, then..."
Suddenly, as he spoke, Momo noticed on the ground...ice was growing across it.
"Freeze."
A voice said from a distance.
"W-What the hell?!"
Momo looked relieved, as ice wrapped around the man's body, shocking him, so Momo used this chance to spin her staff, and plunge it deep into the man's body, dropping Kaminari.
Jiro then plugged in her earlobes into her boot, and sent out her sound wave, knocking him away from her and the others.
"Todoroki-san!"
Shoto stepped out of the shadows, her hands in her pockets.
"Yes, that's right. Keita-kun sent me here to help you, since the current condition he and the others are in..."
"C-Condition? What do you mean?"
Momo questioned, wondering what had happened in their absence.
"The short version is All Might took down that creature with its brain exposed, but then that other Villain...the one that didn't have the creepy hands on him, managed to almost kill him. But, Keita-kun stopped him from killing All Might, but he's still in a critical condition, and now Keita-kun is fighting against him on his own. For Keita-kun's condition...I think it should be fairly obvious, we should make sure that everyone around here is pinned down before we leave them alone."
"R-Right, lets get to work."
With that, Shoto and the others made sure the Villains had been stopped before they went back to the others.
Back with Keita and the others, with Mirio having just arrived, he saw Keita seemingly dazed by something. He didn't know why, he hadn't heard what Kai had said, and could only go over and comfort Keita while Kai watched on as he fixed his body.
"Hey...it's alright, I wont let him hurt you anymore."
Keita thought it sounded rather brotherly from Mirio.
It reminded him of how Kai used to sound.
"I..."
He didn't know what to say, how to say it.
Learning what he did, he just couldn't think properly.
The thought of others dying...just so he could gain power, caused Keita to feel as if he was going to throw up.
When it was just him, it was sickening, but now knowing this truth...it was devastating.
Kai, upon seeing Keita being comforted by Mirio, began feeling anger.
"You're not his brother...get away from him, now."
Kai deeply growled out.
Mirio stood before Keita, and got into a protective stance.
"I refuse to move. I wont let you lay another finger on him."
Kai scoffed.
"Do you really think you have a choice?"
Kai angrily said, but Mirio still refused to move.
"I do, because I can't let you get near him again. I've also been training hard, and this time, you wont be able to escape from me."
Kai rolled his eyes.
"Go back to school kid, you can't fight me."
"Then try me!"
Mirio shot forward at high speeds. Kai thought that he wouldn't be a challenge, and managed to use his Quirk to surround Mirio in spikes. They shot out of the ground like bullets, almost as fast as bullets themselves.
Mirio though used his Quirk, and phased through them all. He didn't even miss a single pillar, something that impressed Kai and to a lesser degree, Tomura who was groaning at the pain he felt from the ribs Keita attacked, his arm, his hand, and other parts of his body that Kai and Keita had both managed to damage.
"You've gotten a bit better, it seems."
Kai said with an annoyed tone, and caused the spikes to reform once more, this time turning into several walls around Mirio, and caused the spikes to form from below, and all around apart from being above him.
Mirio used his quick movements and what he had learned from Sir Nighteye to dodge all of them, allowing his Permeation Quirk to phase him through the stone spikes and spikes from down below as well.
Keita watched as Mirio used an aspect of his Quirk to propel him out of the wall, after phasing through into it, and shot off for Kai at speeds that even Kai didn't register, and sent a fist right for Kai's upper body.
"Don't trifle with me!"
Kai thrust his hand forward to try and grab Mirio…
But Mirio phases his body through the hand, and thrusts his own hand towards Kai's eyes.
"Blinder Touch Eyeball Crush!"
Mirio's fist went right through Kai's head, Kai closed his eyes to protect them, but by doing that, Kai didn't see what Mirio's other attack was going to be, Mirio tightened his other hand, and delivered as hard of a punch as possible to Kai's stomach, Kai's eyes shot open, and he coughed up bile from the large hit.
"Gwaaah!"
"I'm not finished yet! Keita-kun! Do it!"
Keita looked towards Mirio, then nodded, and formed a dome around Kai as he was recovering from the attacks.
Thick walls that were large enough for Mirio to phase through and propel out of at the same time.
"It's time for the Phantom Menace!"
Mirio used the ejection part of his Quirk to quickly shoot around the confined area that Keita had made, and delivered blow after blow to Kai's body, hitting his arms, his legs, his face, each with as much strength as Mirio could muster, causing Kai to be punched around as if he was nothing at all.
Then Mirio delivered a final punch to Kai's face, his already broken nose felt even more painful now as he was shot out of the dome, and skidded across the floor.
The students watched on, with Himiko arriving back with Aoyama to see what was going on. Even Shoto and the others had managed to get back by now, and watched Mirio kicking the crap out of Kai.
"Damn, Senpai's cool..."
Himiko murmured, Ochaco agreeing with a bobbing head.
"Yeah, he's beating someone even Sensei couldn't!"
"Ribbit...it seems that Senpai isn't messing around."
Kai laid on the floor, coughing up blood from the intense impacts that Mirio had given him.
Mirio stood there, and moved closer to Kai with high speeds.
He wouldn't give Kai the chance to recover.
"This...is nothing boy!"
Kai however shot a scathing look for Mirio, and placed his hand on the ground, causing the world around him to erupt in spikes.
Even Tomura was surprised that the amount of spikes coming up were more than before.
Mirio though didn't even stop moving, and used his Quirk and dodged when it was appropriate.
"No matter the roadblock, I wont falter!"
Kai scoffed, as he used his Quirk to fix his injuries.
He then took a syringe with some liquid inside of it and injected it into his body.
As soon as he did, it was like electricity passed through his body and he acquired a new Quirk.
"This is your end, schoolboy."
Mirio furrowed his brows, and watched on as Kai stepped up with a dark glare.
As they fought, Keita saw Katsuki bringing back Thirteen.
She moved Thirteen to the side of him, and began saying "Thirteen's not in good condition..." but stopped when seeing that Keita didn't even register what she had said, many thoughts running his mind, and he was having trouble concentrating.
"Kei!"
Keita turned at the voice.
"...Yeah, Kacchan?"
Katsuki could see something had changed about Keita.
It was as if something had happened to him, but he looked perfectly fine.
"What's wrong?"
"N...Nothing." Keita looked towards Thirteen, seeing the condition the Hero was in, and bent down towards Thirteen. "...I'm sorry Thirteen-sensei. Please forgive me..."
"This isn't your fault Kei, it's theirs."
Katsuki comforted, but Keita simply placed his hand on Thirteen's body, and began using his Quirk to make sure that Thirteen was alright, though he could see the extent of injuries on Thirteen, he would have to use a good deal of his power in order to stabilize Thirteen.
Keita continued healing Thirteen as Kai and Mirio continued their fight.
"Now schoolboy, I'll show you why Keita's power will help me gain control."
Kai unveiled the Quirk he injected himself with, his legs gained muscle mass, increasing his leg strength, which shot him forward at speeds even Mirio was surprised at.
He got in close in moments, and his hand went towards Mirio's body to Overhaul him.
Mirio thankfully managed to phase through him, but Kai's hand went down, and at point blank range, Kai unleashed a wave of stony spikes, Mirio grimaced, and used his Permeation Quirk to phase through a number of them, but when his feet were going to be pierced, he had no choice but to sink through the ground.
Kai then opened his eyes wider, and used the other Quirk he had used before to see the body of Mirio phasing down through the ground.
"I see you."
Keita looked on with worry.
If he could see Mirio, and when he came out, he could aim a spike and kill Mirio.
"Die!"
So Keita went to move forward, but Katsuki beat him to it, and grabbed a stone, using an explosion to throw it so hard that it hit Kai's right hand side of his head, distracting him long enough for Mirio to pop out of the ground, and see that Kai was sending a spear of earth right for him, so he continued phasing, and managed to get out of the ground attack, landing on top of it.
He then used his incredible movements to shoot for Kai, but he used his new found leg mass to swing forward so fast that the air began cutting with how fast his leg was, Mirio barely managed to phase through it, a second or two later and Mirio felt as if his head would have been cut off cleanly.
The kick from Kai managed to pulverize the ground around then with the momentum carrying on after the attack, Mirio wincing at the sight.
"There's no telling what other kind of Quirks he could inject. That leg Quirk...the way he found me underground..."
Mirio knew it was a dire situation, and thought of how best to accomplish beating Kai, all the while moving closer.
"There!"
Mirio managed to slide in close, his fist slamming deeply into Kai's face, but Kai used this chance to manage to kick Mirio's leg.
It was too fast for Mirio to phase completely through and ended up damaging his leg to the point that it broke, but he still managed to damage Kai and that was the important thing.
Keita's eyes lowered as the battle continued, and looked down towards Thirteen's body, making sure that she stayed alive, then back to Mirio.
"Mirio-senpai..."
Keita whispered, seeing the damage on Mirio's leg, seeing it broken.
Yet he still kept powering through, and did very well, fighting off Kai, and many times, seemed to get the edge over Kai, even with his new found powers. Mirio's speed, strength and ability to adapt was something that Kai hadn't predicted.
Keita, seeing the determination on Mirio's face, wanted to support him, so he called "POWER!" as loudly as he could, distracting Kai for a few moments, but brought a smile to Mirio's face.
"POWER KEITA-KUN!"
Mirio announced, and shot for Kai as fast as he could.
Kai responded by creating numerous obstacles all sharp and ready to kill at a moments notice.
"These wont stop me Kai Chisaki! Even if you have a hundred Quirks, I wont let you have that boy again!"
Even as Mirio rushed into them, he managed to dodge and phase through the forming attacks. Even when they were so fast no one else could see them. Even Tomura couldn't see them, Mirio still managed to go through them, and get in close towards Kai.
But Kai had anticipated it, and brought up his leg, also leaving no place for Mirio to dodge either by creating the appropriately dangerous environment around him filled with spikes.
But Mirio simply continued phasing his way through, knowing that he'd have to take some damage somewhere, and ended up receiving a gash on his arm but it was worth it for Mirio to deliver a punch so hard that it broke a few of Kai's ribs, Kai's eyes shooting open and he was sent a good distance away as Keita managed to turn the area around Mirio into a safer place for him to stand.
But Keita could see his leg, he was struggling to stand on it, no matter how tough Mirio was.
"That...was for what you did to Keita-kun. Though...that pain pales compared...to what you did to him, you monster."
Mirio spat out, Kai's eyes went angrily towards him, and looked intent on murdering him.
Trying to recover from the attack, Mimic came to Kai's side.
"What now? I'm busy."
"The Hero's are coming! We need to be going!"
Tomura scowled upon hearing that, and turned towards Kurogiri, gesturing to Keita himself.
"I'm not leaving without Keita!"
Kai practically yelled loudly.
"But Overhaul-"
"I came all this way! I refuse to leave until I've got him! And I'll kill anyone that gets in my way!"
Kai's wild eyes went towards Keita.
Rappa, who had been watching this entire time, knew that if Kai did try it now, then Keita could become hurt, so he appeared from his hiding space, getting between Keita and Kai.
"You're coming with me kid!"
Despite Rappa's aggressive words, Keita looked on as Rappa, upon moving his mask down, mouthed "Throw me back." something Keita understood what Rappa was trying to do, so he did just that and played along with Rappa.
"I wont go with you or anyone!"
Using a piece of the earth to fling Rappa backwards, and hit Kai's upper body, flinging them both backwards.
Mimic then used his Quirk to grab both of them with the ground and then dragged them away.
Mirio growled, and began chasing after Kai.
Kai's eyes met with Keita's, and he kept calling "Keita! I'll come back for you! I promise!" out to him over and over again.
But Keita couldn't look at him anymore, and turned his head away.
Keita was sad that he didn't get to spend more time with Rappa, but he was grateful that Rappa had managed survive this long and that he was still thinking about him, and protecting him.
"Heh, it's about time the trash leaves." Tomura's hand extended out to Keita. "Now, come with me boy."
"No..."
"Seriously...come on! Your power can heal, and control the ground! You're a healer and an elemental user wrapped up into one! I'd like you to join my party!"
"I said no."
Keita growled out, so Tomura sighed, and rushed forward.
"Fine, I'll take you by force!"
Mirio got close to Tomura and thrusted a fist towards his face, sending him back with enough force that he was skidding backwards. Kurogiri thought that this looked bad, and he wasn't sure what to do…
But then he heard a voice within his ear that said [Send in the weaker Nomu's to protect Tomura.] something he recognized as his Master, so he did just that, opening up a portal that allowed creatures to come shooting through.
Keita watched a winged creature, a creature with large teeth that looked like saws, and another one that had flaming hair, and each of them charged forward towards Keita, something that Mirio had noticed.
Mirio looked towards Kai, seeing that he was nearing his escape.
Then he looked towards Keita, seeing that he looked nearly exhausted.
Though he hated it, Mirio chose to protect Keita this time, even if it meant Kai had to go, something Mirio deeply regretted, and rushed back towards the young boy.
Just as one of the Nomu's got in close, Keita went to defend as did Katsuki when Mirio shot out of the ground, having used his Quirk to phase in and then be ejected out, delivering a hard punch right into the Nomu's face with the saw like teeth, breaking the teeth before they could get in close to Keita.
"Mirio-senpai..."
"I'm sorry...I couldn't bring down your brother this time..."
"Don't blame yourself Senpai...It's my job to stop my brother after all. He's my responsibility."
Mirio understood, and stayed between the Nomu's, and Keita, ready to defend him from each of the creatures…
Just then, the doors burst open, and coming through them was the Hero's from U.A, along with Sir Nighteye and Nejire. Relief came over the students, as the Hero's charged forward.
There were some straggler Villains left, so they went to go and deal with them, as Sir Nighteye and Nejire went towards the area the Villains were.
"I don't know what these creatures actually are, but we'll have to deal with you sweetie~"
Nejire used her Quirk to fly towards one of the Nomu's, and placed her hands out.
The one that tried to attack her was one with flaming hair, which whipped out towards her, but she simply smiled, and charged her energy.
"Outputs at maximum! Now, it's time to have my energy!"
Nejire winked as she sent out a wave of her vitality in energy form, blasting the Nomu so hard that it smashed right into the ground, and Nejire continued to unleash her energy deep into the Nomu's body, blasting it deeper and deeper into the ground.
Mirio lightly smiled at the sight, then turned towards Tomura.
Tomura looked worried as Mirio's eyes met with his own.
"You wont lay a finger on this boy!"
Mirio shot off at him, so the Nomu with the saw like teeth got in the way, and tried to chomp down on Mirio.
But using his Quirk, Mirio phased through it, and thrusted his hand deep into the mouth of said Nomu, smashing it from the inside, sending it up into the air, where Mirio jumped up, and delivered a number of strong punches towards the Nomu, that it began breaking apart, and eventually, Mirio slammed it down, causing it to pass out from the attacks.
Sir Nighteye rushed forward towards Tomura, so Kurogiri covered him in his fog, but before he fully could, Sir Nighteye managed to get a weighted seal to slam into the wound Kai gave him beforehand, and made him cry out as Kurogiri warped them away.
Sir Nighteye ignored that though and went towards Keita, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Keita...are you alright?"
Keita didn't know how to answer.
So many emotions were running through his mind.
But he didn't want to worry anyone and simply nodded slowly.
"Yes...I'm fine. But, All Might..." Keita went to stand, but he felt dizzy and almost fell over, if it wasn't for Sir Nighteye and Katsuki catching him. "...I need to heal All Might..."
"Let Recovery Girl take a look at All Might, you should rest. You've been through enough today."
"I will...after I've made sure that All Might is able to make it to Recovery Girl." Keita walked over to All Might's hiding place with Sir Nighteye leaving Katsuki with the others for the moment, and placed a hand on his smaller form, beginning to use his Quirk. "All Might...I'm sorry my brother did this to you...I'm so sorry..."
All Might's eyes opened ever so slightly, and looked towards Keita with a light smile.
"Young Keita...you have nothing to apologize for..."
Keita exhaled slowly.
"Still...thank you, All Might."
"No...thank you Young Keita, for saving my life."
Keita smiled gently, and watched as the Hero's began taking down the few remaining Villains and getting the students to safety.
Eri rushed to his side, and hugged him around his neck, as she cried.
"Kei-chan...a-are you okay?"
Attempting to comfort her, he whispered to her kindly "Yes I'm okay, don't worry." which allowed her to feel relieved for the moment.
Sir Nighteye also took All Might away secretly so the other students didn't see All Might in his frail form.
Sometime later, within the recovery room at the school, Keita took his hand off of Mirio's leg after he had finished healing it with Eri sat down on his lap.
"There...it should be fixed Senpai."
Mirio moved his leg around, seeing how well it had been fixed.
"Amazing, it's completely healed. Your Quirk is pretty good Keita-kun!"
"Thanks..." Keita yawns, something Mirio notices. "I need to treat All Might a bit more before he's fully healed...Recovery Girls Quirk has been working and he's going to be okay...the same with Aizawa-sensei also...and Thirteen-sensei..."
"You saved their lives, Keita-kun."
Mirio spoke kindly, Keita lowered his eyebrows.
"My brother is the reason they got hurt..."
"Perhaps, but you stopped him from killing them. So, why the long face? Was it...because you saw him again?"
"I was prepared for him." Keita admitted to Mirio's surprise. "I was waiting for him to come back...I knew he would one day. So, when he showed up...I was expecting it...I guess I was always on edge...but, more than that...Senpai..."
Before he could continue, Sir Nighteye came into the room, overlooking Mirio's now restored leg, along with Keita who kept looking down.
"Keita, how are you feeling?"
Keita nodded slowly.
"I'm...as fine as I can be I guess...seeing my brother again...wasn't great...but, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I thought I'd...crumble upon seeing him...but, I remembered that..." His eyes cast down to Eri, who looked back up at him cutely. "...I have someone that needs my protection. I managed to injure him...I managed to blow him away...and eventually, I'll be strong enough to defeat him...but, now that he's back..."
"Yes, it's going to be difficult...but, you'll still have protection Keita, and you handled yourself very well. I just finished speaking to Aizawa and All Might, and they told me what happened from what they saw, how you fought, how you protected others, they were really proud of what you did today. Also don't worry about Himiko-san, I've arranged for her to have protection right now, and she'll meet us outside when we're ready to go."
Keita gave a small smile.
He didn't do anything for praise, he just did what he had to do.
"Yes...but, Sir Nighteye-san. Is it okay if we go home after I heal All Might a little bit? I'm...drained from today...plus, I don't even know what I'm going to say to the others...they saw it...they must have heard he was my elder brother...they'll have questions, I'm no sure on how to answer right now...I don't know what I can say about it..."
"It's okay, you can have a few days off school, I've already spoken to Principal Nezu about it. We'll discuss later about what to say to the others in your class. For now, just concentrate on yourself."
Keita gave a thankful nod.
"Thanks..." Keita looked down at Eri, petting her head. "Wanna go home Eri-chan?"
"Yes...but, Kei-chan...you look sad. Why are you sad?"
"It's just this day...but don't worry~" Keita tried to give as big of a cheery smile as he could. "We should get you home, and make some dinner for you Eri-chan~ You must be hungry, I know that I am~"
"Yes, Kei-chan!"
"Then, off home we go~ Maybe I'll make some chocolate ice cream~"
"Chocolate ice cream...Kei-chan's always tastes good~"
Sir Nighteye smiled at the sight.
Whatever was happening within Keita, he still tried his best to make sure Eri was happy and protected.
He would protect her for as long as he could, no matter what stood in his way.
Not even if it was Kai.
That night, Keita sat on his bed, looking down at his hands. What Kai had said...the people that had died, and now he had possession of their Quirks...he didn't know what to feel.
Anger, sadness, regret.
Though he didn't know before today, it still was something that he felt guilt over.
The fact that they died so Kai could use them and Keita himself as an experiment.
As he sat in his room, there was a knock at the door.
Raising a brow, he murmured "Come in." and to his surprise, when the door opened, it was Katsuki that appeared.
"Kacchan...what are you doing here…?"
"I wanted to come, see how you're doing."
"I'm...I don't know. I'm working through a few things."
Katsuki walked over to the bed, shutting the door behind her. Then getting onto the bed, she pulled closer, and allowed her hand to slide into his own.
"Your brother...I had no idea he was...I didn't even know about him really."
Katsuki began, not really sure how to start, hoping that Keita would carry on.
"Yes...he's a cruel person..."
"You aren't kidding, he's hardcore nuts." Keita almost laughed. "What happened today...when you saw him...you looked as if you had just come up against your worst nightmare..."
"Because...he is my worst nightmare...what he did to me...I can't forget it."
"What he did...you can't tell me, right?"
"I shouldn't tell you...you wouldn't want to know. It's...disturbing."
"Disturbing?"
"Yes..."
"Kei...I heard from that guy with the crazy hair that your brother...he experimented on you…? Is that right?"
Keita looked mildly surprised.
"You...heard that...?"
"Yeah...your own brother...did that to you?"
"Yes...what he did to me...think of what he threatened to do to others today, kill them one by one...he did that to me. He killed me."
Keita didn't feel like lying anymore.
Katsuki had seen his brother, what he was capable of. She had questions, it was only natural. Now that she was aware of Kai...it didn't seem like there should be a reason why he should lie to her.
Katsuki's face turned downwards.
"But you're still..."
"His Quirk...can disassemble, and reassemble matter. He can take it apart...and put it back together again..."
Katsuki felt sickened with the truth, Kai had actually done that to Keita.
"And he did that to you...why?"
Keita nodded, and continued explaining.
"I didn't know at the time...but I found out the day I was rescued from him...that he had been using my power...to create new Quirks from others DNA...it's a bit long of an explanation...but the short version is my Quirk can rewrite anything it comes into contact with...my DNA holds my Quirk...and the DNA of others holds their Quirk...so, my Quirk can bring out Quirk Factors of others and replicate them into other beings...at least, that's what I believe to be true."
"Damn...I didn't know you could do that. It's amazing...but what he did to you...i-it was only like...once or twice, right?"
Katsuki wanted to believe that was the case.
If Keita had died at all...she only wanted it to have been a single time.
Keita shook his head.
"It started when I was young...not much older than Eri-chan. I...died when I was young, and then brought back...he killed me, over and over again...so many times, I lost count around the two thousand mark...and that was years before I was rescued..."
Katsuki's anger grew more and more for Kai.
What he had done to Keita was unforgivable in her eyes.
"What about...your parents? Why didn't they stop him? They aren't..."
"I don't have any parents, they both died when I was very young, I hardly remember them. One day, the Yakuza leader found us, and took us in. But the man who ran it...we called him the Boss...he was kind, and he took care of us. At first, when he Overhauled me...my brother told me it was to heal him...I was young, and I saw the Boss deteriorating...I didn't want to lose a Father figure...so I just did it...and he got better. Now thinking about it...big brother probably was causing the Bosses failing health, or at least did nothing to prevent it if it occurred naturally so I'd believe his lie. During that time...I was young, I didn't really understand fully what was happening..."
Katsuki's hand tightened.
The thought that Kai would do that to a young child angered him.
"Little bastard..."
Keita's knees placed against his chest, his head resting on said knees, and his eyes went towards her own.
"When he first did it...I was scared. Of course I was...I just died...and I was in so much pain...I begged my brother to stop the pain. I asked him why...why he would do this to me. But, all I got was a mixture of his remorse and coldness...as time went on however, he just became colder and colder and the remorse faded...until he didn't resemble the brother that I once had."
Katsuki tried to wrap her head around how someone could be so cruel to someone they're supposed to love.
Keita continued while feeling Katsuki's thumb stroking his hand.
"When I tried to first run away...he threatened to kill anyone that would help me...I knew he'd do it, I had seen him kill people for just getting in his way, so killing someone to make me stay...he'd definitely do it."
Katsuki inhaled and exhaled slowly through her nose.
Though Keita tried to keep it together, Katsuki could see that it was difficult for him to talk about.
"I didn't know much about the world...I was locked away for so long and only knew bits and pieces of how society was. I wanted to know more...explore more, so I got his schedule down, what he'd do and where he'd go, so I could get a bit of freedom, explore more outside, but I knew if I had accepted help...they probably would've been killed. I didn't know about the power some Hero's had, like All Might back then, all I knew was my brother could kill someone with a single touch, and how could anyone fight that?"
"So...that explains it, it makes sense now..."
Keita breathed through his nose, trying to quell the emotions inside of him.
"When I met Eri-chan. I...I couldn't let what happened to me, happen to her...that little girl...she was defenceless...she was like me...she didn't have anyone looking out for her...so I looked out for her...and I knew I'd have to get her to safety. I met Sir Nighteye-san before I met Eri-chan and at that time...I didn't want my brother to kill him...but, now I had someone I needed to protect...so I called him...and he came with All Might, and other Hero's to save us...and they did."
"So that's when you came back..."
"Yes...but I knew big brother would show up one day, he wouldn't give up...I prepared myself, trained and made sure when he did, he'd not hurt anyone I had grown to care for, to love...but today I found out...he had been doing more than I had known, what he had done to me."
Katsuki hugged Keita tight, pushing his face into her chest as she stroked the back of his head.
"I'm so sorry...that happened to you."
Katsuki pulled Keita's head up from her chest, placing her gentle fingers on his cheek.
She then stroked his face as gently as she could, and peered into his eyes.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Yes?"
He wondered, seeing Katsuki's curious eyes.
"You're always looking out for others, making them happy, yet you've been through all of this..."
"I want...to make people happy, like Eri-chan. Give her the childhood, I didn't have. To make my friends happy...I don't know how I'm going to explain all of this stuff with my brother to them...Sir Nighteye-san and I will talk about what I can and can't say."
Katsuki's lips rose, and she pulled closer towards him.
Her mouth parted, going towards his lips.
He didn't stop her, and moved his head closer even more.
However, she paused at his lips.
"I want you." Keita blushed at her honest words. "I want you to stay with me...even before this, I already began growing feelings for you...I...ugh...honestly, making me say these things….you know...I...I really...damn it all! You know how hard it is for me-"
"Would you become my girlfriend, Kacchan?"
Katsuki's own face turned red, matching the redness on Keita's own cheeks.
"Seriously...saying something like that...well, fine! I'll become your girlfriend!"
Keita liked how naturally Katsuki she was about her answer, it was what drew him to her.
But then, Keita and Katsuki smiled genuinely and lovingly at one another, before their lips came together naturally.
Electricity passed between them as soon as their lips came together. Keita allowed his arms to embrace the young woman as she clung to his upper body. Her fingers dug into his shirt, pulling her closer and closer by the second.
Their kiss deepened as Keita fell back onto the bed, with Katsuki practically straddling his hips as they continued to kiss one another. Keita could feel Katsuki's hands lovingly dragging up his body, until they eventually ran through his hair, taking in every strand of it for herself.
When their kiss ended, the pair had healthy flushes, Keita smiled up at Katsuki who smiled right back down at her.
"That was my first kiss Kacchan."
"Yeah...it was mine too."
They both admitted to one another.
Keita then brought Katsuki to the right hand side of him.
"That was one of my goals...you know..."
"Goals?"
"Yeah...I promised myself I'd achieve certain goals, if I made it out of my brothers clutches. One was to get a girlfriend...I saw on TV, different couples, and how good it would look. I wanted a girlfriend, and many other things..."
"Well, I'm your girlfriend now Kei, one goal checked off." Keita chortled as Katsuki laughed also. "So, what's your other goals huh?"
"Well, I have many. I've always wanted to see the world, travel to different countries. I'd like kids one day...I guess with Eri-chan, that's already been kinda fulfilled huh~?" Katsuki quietly nods as he continued. "I've got so many things I want to do..."
"Haha...then we'll check off more and more, Kei. And whatever happens next...you're not alone...even with your brother, I'll stay with you."
"Thank you...angry kitten."
Katsuki smirked at what he called her, finding it rather endearing now.
She then lightly brushes his lips with her own, before snuggling against him.
"Now rest. It's been a tiring day... emotionally, mentally and physically."
"Yes...lets go to sleep."
Keita wraps his arms fully around his new girlfriend, and though thoughts of what Kai had done to him, and to others kept plaguing his mind, he couldn't stay awake anymore, using his Quirk so much on top of learning all of that nearly overloaded Keita.
But he was thankful if anything came of it...he finally got to speak his true feelings to Katsuki.
Kai, having suffered another loss of not being able to properly reunite with Keita, managed to fix his injuries at the cost of losing more than what he had bargained for.
The fact that Keita stood against him...seeing the horrified look in his eyes when realizing what Kai had done to him…
Chronostasis came into the room, and overlooked the downtrodden Kai.
"Overhaul-sama, I'd like to give you a report."
Kai didn't respond right away.
He was busy with his thoughts.
"Overhaul-sama, I know that we didn't get the desired results and didn't get everything we had wanted, but we managed to even nearly kill All Might, and show everyone the might of the Shie Hassaikai. I thought you'd be pleased."
Kai was pleased, and wasn't happy at the same time.
"I'm still missing my brother, the reason we went to that damn USJ. Maybe using what we achieved at the USJ, that could help us gain Keita back..."
"Sir, do we need him back? We can work well without him, we have his blood. What more do we need-"
Chronostasis regretted those words instantly as Kai's hand shot for Chronostasis' face, and Overhauled him.
Killing him, and then brought him back to life within moments.
"Gwaaah!"
Immediately Chronostasis fell down to the floor, and began coughing violently, trying to catch his breath and tears began to form in his eyes.
Kai though held a disgusted look for him and showed no emotion in his eyes, nor his voice.
"My brother took it much better than you when he was Overhauled. And if you ever say anything about him not being needed back here, I'll make sure you aren't needed here anymore. Is that understood?"
Chronostasis nodded as fast as he could, bowing and left Kai alone.
Kai exhaled slowly, and thought about what happened that day.
He wished he had gotten Keita back…
But seeing his little brother improve so much, he was pleased to see.
It almost was like an elder brother being happy about their little brothers achievements.
But now Kai had a new thing to experiment on, and new test subjects to do it with also….
End chapter!
So the end of the USJ arc had Keita confronting the guy that caused him a lot pain in his life. Fighting and displaying some new techniques, while also learning more of what Kai had done to him, and how he manifested another Quirk within him. Even Tomura decided to work with Keita, seeing that Keita didn't want Kai to win, and while not happy about it, Keita knew at least it would give him a chance until the Hero's showed up.
Mirio managed to show up after Keita learned of the truth about why he has more Quirks, and displayed to Kai that he can't get to Keita so easily, and while he got away, he's been damaged quite a bit, both physically, and emotionally, Mirio proving to Kai that he isn't weak and will stand in his way for Keita.
Nejire, and the others showed up to save everyone else, while Izuku managed to protect All Might from Kurogiri.
Then towards the end, Keita revealed the truth to Katsuki after she had learned from Chronostasis about the experiments Keita had performed on him at the beginning of the USJ arc, and they confessed their feelings for one another, and now can be considered an official couple!
Kai also seems to be reflecting on what's going on, even killing Chronostasis for suggesting what he did.
Well, until next time, thanks for reading!
