Notes:
1. I'm just a mere fan of Boku No Hero Academia
2. Some spills from BNHA Season 1-4 ahead.
3. English is not my first language.
I was inspired on how heart melting Kacchan's sudden burst of emotions after Allmight's fight with All for One.
I thought, 'why not see more of his vulnerable soft side?' ️
Anyway, I hope you like it! ️
Chapter 6: As it was Planned
Shiguraki Tomura, who was suspended at that time Kairi disappeared started to move.
Deku who noticed a slight movement of the new All for One, tried landing an attack but was countered by a Nomu; it grabbed Deku's hand and swayed it away from his master.
"Deku-kun!" Uravity rushed to Deku's side.
"This is interesting," Shiguraki scratched his neck, "how am I gonna get my hands on her now?!?" he continued scratching his neck violently.
"Ne~ Shiguraki~kun."
It was Himeko Toga who came skipping on the battlefield.
"I got it, I got it." She said grinning from ear to ear, "we can use this..." raising a small bottle.
"It must be blood!" Uravity alarmed Deku, "Kairi's!"
Before she could go after her, a Nomu quickly came in front of Uravity and swept her away; making Deku go and catch her.
"Aww, I'm still not giving up on you, De-ku-kun~," Toga smiled as she went into the portal Kurogiri set for her.
"I'll catch you later, number one hero..." Shiguraki slowly vanished in the battle ground.
Shigaraki and his league has returned to their lair.
Toga handed him the bottle, "I wished I could have used it too, you know?" she said.
Shiguraki, still dissatisfied for not having the actual quirk holder, took the bottle and handed it to Kurogiri.
"An order... of one Nomu," he said.
Shigaraki knew how DNAs without the actual person with the quirk won't last long in a Nomu's body. He has seen how it crumbles without actually having the holder's body as base.
He needed the holder, he needed to have that quirk again.
"Master, I'll get you back."
As soon as the Nomu was ready, he prepared himself for the time jump.
"Let's go back in 5 years time..." he smirked.
While Class 1-A were in the planning area, Hatsume Mei, the pink haired inventor came towards them.
"Honey, you called 15 minutes ago, where are the kids?" Mei asked Ingenium.
"Eh," Tenya, who saw and heard how Mei approached his older self, froze as his eyes wide opened as well as his jaw.
"EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH??!!" the class also reacted.
"My sweet Tenya, look how cute you were when we're in high school," Mei approached the younger Tenya, "I still have a lot of things to ask you to try..." her eyes sparkling.
"Honey, we're here to copy some quirks... please don't let them wear anything else more," Ingenium swayed his arms like a robot.
"Some things never change, ribbit," Froppy and Tsuyu commented.
"Oy, Bakugo... where – " before Kirishima finished asking, he saw Bakugo holding the hand of a shy grown up Kairi.
"Where's that DAMN NERD?!" Katsuki asked embarassed; he's know not to hold hands to anyone before.
"Ka...cchan?" were the only word the two Dekus could utter seeing how red Katsuki was holding Kairi's hand.
The older Deku coughed a bit, "Y-you're back, Kairi..." he smiled.
"Kairi!" Uravity came rushing towards her and welcomed her with a hug; a perfect moment to have Katsuki release himself from holding the girl's hand.
"How did you come back?" Shoto asked.
"Suki brought me back," she signed smiling, "he helped me out," she added.
Katsuki could only scratch his head, trying not to let the others see the blush on his face, "what's the plan?" he spoke averting his eyes from the crowd, who are, he instantly knew, making a puppy eyes on him.
"It's to get you back to your timeline," Deku said.
"But, I thought we could help?" Izuku countered, "we can help you fight!"
"Izuku... it is my duty in this timeline to fight All for One, your duty is... to make the borrowed quirk your own." Deku whisphered on his younger self.
"I... I understand," Izuku looked at the ground, a bit disappointed.
"Thank you for the help, guys. We know how much you want to assist us in this fight, but we need to get you all back. You have to prepare for your own fight in your own timeline..." Deku said.
Kirishima gritted, he understood; it is not their time to fight.
Along with Class 1-A, everyone respected the heroes' decision to get them back home.
"Tch, damn Deku..." Katsuki just stood there quietly; he have never felt too tired to argue with the freckled boy.
After having Class 1-A's quirks were "copied" on Hatsume Mei's machines, they all went back to the place where they first arrived.
"We'll find you, okay?" Ochaco held Kairi's hands, "so... " she started crying.
"I'll see you," she signed as she hugged her.
"Yaoyorozu, I can't wait til you're older," Mineta pointed at Creati. Shoto sent cold winds towards the pervert hero.
"Come find me, okay?" she signed smiling at Katsuki.
Katsuki shyly looked away.
Kairi closed her eyes, positioned her hand on a praying manner, as if wishing, to jump once again in time... to get her friends go back to their own timeline.
As a bluish and white light starts to envelop them, Shigaraki Tomura and his league suddenly started to attack.
Nomus came rushing towards the group.
As prepared as they were, the new pro heroes released Hatsume Mei's invention; androids that have copied the same quirks of Class 1-A; they defended them from the Nomus' attack along with Deku, Ingenium, Froppy, Creati and Shoto.
Kairi tried to stay focused on transporting the class back; Uravity defending the site.
"You're bleeding...!" Ochaco gasped, "Kairi-chan!"
It was the stab wound on her lower torso, since she got back to her timeline, all that has happened to her has also returned.
As she felt that the jump was almost complete, she opened her eyes as she signed, "I'm okay..."
In a blink of an eye, Class 1-A has jumped back to their timeline.
It was all the rush, breaking her limits, she tried suspending the time of movement of the Nomus heading her and Uravity's way; Uravity used her Comet Homerun to at least immobilize the Nomus once the suspension was released.
"You're bleeding... terribly!" Uravity worriedly told Kairi.
Kairi gave her an "I'm okay" sign, she smiled.
"I found you!" Shiguraki Tomura suddenly appeared in front of them; as quick as she can, she pushed Uravity away from the villain.
"Saving your friend, huh?" Shiguraki grinned as he held Kairi's arm, activating his decaying quirk, "nope, no disintegrating this time..."
With the remaining strength that she had, she suspended Shigaraki's time.
She went in a trance as all went blank.
Come back to me...
Kairi heard it once more, Bakugo Katsuki, calling her to come back.
Where?
She saw her Katsuki's back, wearing his hero uniform.
He turned around and looked at her, she saw him holding a little baby in his arms.
Come back to me...
When she came into, Uravity was trying to call out to her... her calls were inaudible.
Everything was in mute.
She saw Deku pushing through his own limits, releasing quirks he acquired from the different successors of One for All and ended Shiguraki Tomura's rampage.
Once again, she closed her eyes... it never opened again.
