Chapter 2

I'm back! Welcome everybody to chapter 2 of 'Rising'. Here, I am going to introduce the pairing, which you probably know it is Mei. How will they meet? You will have to read to find out. And now that I said this, we can start the story!

"Talking."

'Thinking...'

"Computer Speaking."

Chapter 2: Technical Failures

"Ehm, Excuse me, Izuku..." Izuku stopped his conversation with Katsuki and looked at the girl that is in his class. He had been here for three months now, and let me resume briefly:

At the start, the class still had the same vision of him as the weak, useless Deku. And they didn't doubt of reminding him. It changed once Daisuke, still sore from last time, confronted Izuku in the recess, and trying to intimidate him, just got laid on the floor.

Izuku answer, 'I hate bullies.'

Since then, Izuku became some sort of 'Ice King'. He only speaks with Katsuki, ignores everyone, and his platinum-blonde hair, bored green eyes make him look in the eyes of the girls in the school as a 'Lost Soul Looking to be Saved.'

And that was the intention of this one girl.

She closed her eyes and handed Izuku a letter that he grabbed it, opened it and started to read it. Katsuki looked what it was about and he smirked.

It was a love letter.

Katsuki shook his head knowing what was about to come. Izuku looked at the girl with his bored look "Is this for me?" The girl nodded "So, let me quote, you love me?" The girl blushed and nodded. A small crowd formed around, to see if she could break the Ice King.

Izuku put the letter in front of her face. And ripped it in two. Then ripped it again. And again. Until it was only small pieces and threw it to her face as she started to tear up.

"I don't recall you and I ever talking. So, let me give you an advice for the future; before you declare your love, take time to know that person." Izuku said as he continued to talk with Katsuki as the girl left crying and many others started to plan on how to conquer him.

"That was overkill." Katsuki said once the crowd left and Izuku shrugged.

"It was her fault of putting herself in this situation. She used the word 'love' in that letter maybe way too much when she thinks that she knows me."

"You are like this with pretty much everyone. The only way you talk with someone beside me, it is if the teach forces you." Katsuki said as they walked back home.

"They wouldn't even want to be close to me if they know what I am." Izuku said, referring to his body modifications and Katsuki rolled his eyes.

"And again, with the same bullshit. You can just say it is a quirk and done. Not a big deal."

"Easier said than done. What kind of quirk would this be? Robot? As far as they know I am still human and quirkless. I am not going to go tomorrow and show them what I had become."

Katsuki growled "Fine. Do whatever the fuck you want."

Izuku smiled at him "I will."

*Next Day, Bakugou Residence*

"Katsuki, wake up." Katsuki opened his eyes slowly as he was shook by a hand. He looked to see it was Izuku who woke him up.

"Deku? What hour is it?"

"Early. But I have a problem." Izuku raised his right arm with his left one to show Katsuki it was limp.

"What the fuck?" Katsuki asked as he grabbed his arm and started to shake it with no response. "What the fuck happened?"

"I don't know. When I went to sleep, it was fine. Now, it seems it disconnected from the rest of my body." Izuku explained and Katsuki moved his fingers.

"Any idea on how to repair it?" Izuku shook his head.

"No. There were personnel in charge of repairing my body if something happened and they made checkups to see if something was wrong."

"There is clearly something wrong with you now. How the fuck did your arm turn off?" Katsuki passed a hand across his face as he took a deep breath. "Now what? Do we look for a mechanic?"

Izuku blinked thinking about the idea "It might work. Can we skip school today?"

"Mom isn't home neither is dad... so yeah." Katsuki said and then they both went to the computer.

"Let's look for a shady place that doesn't call to much attention." Izuku said and Katsuki nodded. They were looking for ten minutes when a pop-add came into the screen saying:

'Got something needing repair?

Then come here for Mei Hatsume to solve it!

Address: XXXXXXXXX'

Katsuki and Izuku shared a look before Izuku nodded. He wrote down the address and they went to see if they can get his arm repaired.

*Hatsume Motors*

"This is a bad idea." Katsuki muttered as they were walking into the mechanic shop.

"It is the best option right now. Besides, if it doesn't work out, we don't need to come again." Izuku said as he went to the reception where a man with dark purple hair was.

"Excuse me, we are looking for... Mei." Izuku said and the man nodded.

"Friends for school or customers?" The man asked.

"I guess that customers."

The man nodded "Mei! You have job!"

"I'm going!" a girl's voice was heard followed by quick steps down the stairs. A pink-haired girl was in front of them with her yellow-cross shaped eyes looking at them. "So, who is the customer?" She asked and Izuku raised his arm. "Great! Follow me! Dad don't bother me!" She screamed as she grabbed his limp arm and drag him upstairs as Katsuki followed.

Once in her room, that was somewhat dirtier than Katsuki's, she closed the door and sat in front of a table. "Okay, so what's the problem you have?" She asked and Izuku left his limp arm on the table, rolled up the sleeve of his trench coat and took of his arm.

"Do you think you can repair it?"

Mei looked at the metal arm in front of her. She rubbed her eyes and blinked once, twice before grinning like a mad woman.

"YOU ARE A ROBOT!?" She asked excited and Izuku sighed.

"Cyborg. Now answer."

Mei nodded frenetically "YES! I would love to see how you work!"

Katsuki gave her a glare "He isn't here to be dissected, cross-eyes."

Mei puffed her chest out "No need for prehistoric ways like that!" She then stared straight at Izuku's body making him uncomfortable.

"What are you doing?"

"Checking to see what the problem is. I am using my quirk for it. Aha!" She exclaimed as she started to take Izuku's coat off but he resisted. "There is a problem with the connection between your shoulder and the rest of your body. I need you shirtless."

Izuku closed his eyes and took off his trench coat. He then took out his black shirt and Katsuki saw how the body of his friend looked. (A/N: Look for Raiden 2018 standard cyborg body).

Izuku sat on the chair as Mei opened his right bicep with some inventions she had, and started to work on it. Katsuki watched to make sure she didn't do anything weird and after an hour or so, Izuku could move his arm again.

Izuku made a fist to see how it reacted and smiled softly "Thanks Mei." Mei nodded as Izuku put on his shirt and coat quickly. "How much is it?"

Mei grinned "You to make daily checkups."

Izuku stared at her blankly "He is talking about money, cross-eyes." Katsuki said and Mei nodded.

"I know! But I really, really, REALLY, like the technology that you have! I csn already imagine the babies we can make together!"

"What? Babies?" Izuku asked and Mei nodded.

"Hm! The inventor creations are their babies. And you and I are going to make lots of them!" Mei exclaimed and Izuku narrowed his eyes.

"And if I refuse?"

"Weeeeeeeell, you will lose the only person that is willing to make sure that you won't fall apart. I mean, your body is the highest tech I ever saw in my life! But it is also really unstable. Without maintenance, what happened to your arm, will be the best-case scenario." Mei explained and Izuku nodded.

"Guess that it makes sense."

"You can't consider what this bitch said! She is crazy!" Katsuki exclaimed and Izuku rolled his eyes.

"I'll come back tomorrow after school. Take care."

Mei waved at him "You too, Robot-man, Grumpy!"

"OI!"

*?*

"Any clue where the Reaper is?"

The soldier nodded "He is in Musutafu sir. Should I send a group to get him back?"

The man shook his head "It would be a waste. Jacky-Boy would cut them before they notice. Send the IF Prototype. With that we can see if it works and capture back our missing ninja."

"Sir!" The soldier saluted and went to send the orders.

"About to deploy, Interface Prototype LQ-84i, in Musutafu, Japan, at 23:43 hours. Confirm orders?"

And done! That was chapter 2 of 'Rising. Hope you enjoyed. Now for the ones that played MGRR, you might remember who the prototype is. If you don't wait for next chapter, where the first fight will come. And that's all!
