[Remember if you like the story then follow and favorite it, now let's get into chapter 3, sorry for missing a post and I hope I got the American dollar to Japanese Yen right.]
August 22nd rolled around, 6:00AM.
Eric got up and went down stairs. "Hmmmm…. Now what is lida doing?" Eric asked himself in a whisper as he saw lida go outside the dorms. Eric ran out after lida. "Yo wait up man." Eric called out to lida. Lida stopped and turned around. "Eric what are you doing up?" lida asked. "I could say the same to you, oh and Happy Birthday." Eric said. "Thanks, and I was just going to my family's house to help set up for the party and go check on my brother who is in the hospital." lida said. Eric thought for a second. "Well if you would like I could go help set up while you go visit your brother." Eric volunteered. "Thank you, Eric here." lida tossed Eric a key and a map. "follow the map to my house and use the key to get in, I'll text my family saying my classmate is coming by to help." lida said. "Right, well I'm going to get going, oh and tell them I'm coming soon, I'm going to rush over." Eric said as he turned and ran off following the map. Lida texted his family and started going to the hospital.
After about 30 minutes Eric arrived at lida's family's house. Eric used the key to walk in. "Hello, I'm lida's classmate, here to help." Eric called out in the quiet house. "Oh you must be Eric, right?" A woman walked in from outside. "Yeah, you must be lida's mother, right?" Eric asked. "yup just call me Mrs. L." Mrs. L said. "Ok, how can I help?" Eric asked. "Well you c-" Mrs. L was cut off by the sound of shouting outside. Eric rushed out the door followed by Mrs. L. outside on the street there was a bunch of thugs beating up a kid on the ground. "Really?! 20 against 1 kid! That isn't fair to the kid." Eric hollered at the thugs. "Then how about we do 20 against you?" a thug asked. "Now that is unfair to you guys, you need about 50 to make it even a tiny bit fair." Eric said with a cocky grin. "Enough let's go beat that punk up!" a thug said. All 20 started running down the street towards Eric who just stepped in the middle of the road. "Eric I'm a pro hero, let me handle this." Mrs. L said. "Nah I got it, let me have my fun." Eric said refusing to give up the chance to use his power. "I got a quirk license." Eric said. Mrs. L just stood at the door and watched. Eric's whole body gain a weak orange aura. "I don't need to go all out." Eric said as his aura stayed weak and faint.
All the Thugs surrounded Eric and jumped at him, Eric dodged all the attacks and counter attacked a few of them with good speed and power. In total after that attack 5 of the thugs lay on the ground unconscious. All the thugs pulled out metal bats with spikes. "Really? Fine I won't go easy on you then." Eric said with a snarl. The aura around Eric turned to a brighter orange and started to rage and became a little bigger. One of the thugs jumped at Eric and swung the metal bat down at him. The aura around Eric's fist became bigger and fiercer. Eric punched the metal bat and the spikes bent and the metal dented, Eric then drew back his other fist and punched the thug in the chest. The thug let go of the bat and dropped to the ground out cold. Eric pulled the bat off his fist, there was no wound on his fist. Eric held on to the bat. "My turn to use this." Eric said with a wicked grin. "Oh no." A thug said as they started to run. "Where you cowards going?" Eric asked as he charged after one of them. Eric hit the thug he was chasing over the back of the head with the metal bat, the thug dropped knocked out cold, Eric then threw the bat and knocked out another thug. They all stopped running. "Why'd ya'll stop?" Eric questioned them as his aura started to become more intense. Eric then noticed it, a man had walked up. "Boss we are glad you're here we-" A thug was cut off as his hands shot to his throat as he started choking. "20 of my low-ranking thugs couldn't beat up one little boy, disgraceful." The man said. Suddenly the rest of the awake thugs started choking. They all died of suffocation. "What kind of boss kills his on men?!" Eric yelled. The man looked only to be in his early 20s, wearing a modern suit, a black tie with spots of red, red shoes, his skin was tanned, blue eyes, blonde hair, and was smiling a sly smile. "My name is Isebi Kunizo." Isebi introduced himself. "As in Isebi Kunizo the boss of the Skull killer Mafia?!" Mrs. L asked freaking out. "Why yes, yes I am." Isebi replied. Eric started running at Isebi. "No Eric! He's too strong!" Mrs. L hollered at Eric. "I don't care! Anyone who slaughters his own men should die!" Eric yelled his he got even faster, he was moving as fast as lida normally does. Eric punched Isebi and sent him flying back. Isebi quickly got up. "What's your name boy?" Isebi asked getting mad. "Eric." Eric replied. "It's well mannered to give your first and last name." Isebi instructed him. "Eric Emina." Eric answered. Isebi started laughing, he then stared at Eric. Suddenly Eric felt like someone was choking him, he put his hands to his throat and only felt his neck, no hands. "W-What is-s g-g-going o-on?" Eric asked trying to not choke and die. "I'm killing you with my quirk of course." Isebi responded. "Stop!" Mrs. L yelled. "Interfere much? What's your name?" Isebi asked looking annoyed. "It's-" Mrs. L was cut off by an orange energy ball flying towards the ground near Isebi and exploding sending him to the ground. Eric stood up. "I think I learned 3 things, 1: He needs your first and last name to use his quirk, 2: He has to concentrate on using his quirk, and 3: it's some kind of mental thing." Eric explained. Isebi clapped and did a slight bow. "Smart boy you are right, well the mental thing is a little off, I not only make you feel it I can make your body react to it and really do it." Isebi said while activating his quick. Eric felt like his lungs stopped working. Eric's lungs were really starting to become harder to use. "D-D-Dang it, my lungs are trying to copy what I feel." Eric said trying to force himself to breath. Eric blinked, and he was standing in a huge puddle of blood, the sky was black and Isebi was standing in front of him. "Why can't I m-move?" Eric asked trying to move but to no avail. "This is all in your mind, I'm just making you see this." Isebi explained.
Isebi took a sword out of no where and stabbed Eric in the chest. "And feel this." Isebi continued with a smile. Eric just smiled back. Isebi kept stabbing Eric for what felt like days. "Why won't you give into death?" Isebi asked as he stabbed Eric again. "I have several reasons to live." Eric answered. "I don't know how your body could take all this and still work." Isebi said in amazement. "I put my body through much more bad stuff then this." Eric said with a smile. Eric started yelling. "Why continue trying to fight?" Isebi asked. Eric yelled until his aura was raging and bright Orange. "I HAVE TO LIVE!" Eric yelled as for a split second a Shadow of some kind of beast appeared behind Eric, it slashed the air and disappeared. Eric started walking towards Isebi. "Wait your eyes, they changed." Isebi said backing up as he noticed that Eric's eyes were smaller and darker. It was like a trillion Centuries of torture and death and killing behind those eyes. Eric moved fast and started pounding on Isebi. "Good thing I took fighting classes." Isebi said as he tried fighting back. However Eric was to fast and strong, Isebi could barely block 1 out of 4 of Eric's attacks. Eric punched Isebi so hard it broke his thought and Eric and Isebi was snapped back to the real word. Eric stood up, his aura raging. "Hey Eric, how are you up so fast?" Mrs. L asked. "He was in my mind for days." Eric answered in a demonic tone. Mrs. L looked terrified. Isebi hopped up. "You got a real inter demon boy! take care now." Isebi said as he turned around and walked off. Eric closed his eyes, his aura disappeared. When Eric opened his eyes they were normal. "Call the cops to take care of these guys." Eric said gesturing to the thugs. "Right, hurry in!" Mrs. L said. Eric went inside. The cops came and took the alive thugs to jail and the dead thugs to the graveyard. lida soon arrived and Eric told him everything, they then decorated and after an hour of setting up they waited for guests to arrive.
After everyone was there the party got started. "Happy Birthday lida!" Everyone sung. Some kids stayed by a grill, some stood in the middle of the yard, others were in a huge pool, while Eric leaned against a tree away from everyone. 'Inner demon?' Eric thought with a frown. 'No! but…. My power sometimes feels stronger and darker though.' Eric tossed the idea around his head. Midoriya came up to him and tapped his shoulder. Eric opened one eye. "Yeah Midoriya?" Eric asked. "Can you help me with a girl problem?" Midoriya asked with his face going red. "Oh you mean you and Uraraka?" Eric asked now fully focused on Midoriya. "Wait! How'd you know?" Midoriya asked as red as a tomato. "Well it's kinda obvious." Eric replied honestly. "Anyway can you help?" Midoriya asked. "Well I can try." Eric answered. "Bakugo keeps talking to her, can you distract him?" Midoriya asked. "Sure." Eric responded. Eric walked up to Bakugo. "Yo I bet you can't beat me in a pool noodle fight." Eric said cockily. "Bring it on Carrot top!" Bakugo yelled. "C-Carrot top?! It is on boom boy!" Eric yelled as him and Bakugo ran and jumped in the pool as Midoriya walked up to Uraraka. Bakugo and Eric grabbed a pool noodle and started trying to fight with them like swords. Iida walked up to Eric. "Eric?" Iida asked. Eric stopped fighting and looked at him. "Yes Iida?" Eric asked. "There is a letter here for you." Iida said handing Eric a letter. "Why is it here at your house?" Eric asked as he took the letter. "I don't know." Iida replied before walking off. Eric opened it. "What's it say carrot top?" Bakugo asked. "It's from Isebi!" Eric shouted. Mrs. L ran out of the house to Eric. "What's it say?" Mrs. L asked. "Wait who is Isebi?" Bakugo asked. "He's a famous mob boss." Iida answered. "It says he enjoyed meeting me and hopes I wouldn't mind coming to battle him once in a while and enclosed in the envelop is 111660.55 Japanese Yen." Eric said. "He enjoyed you hitting him and surviving his quirk?" Mrs. L asked while everyone else was still shocked. "Well the only way I survived is because me and my body has been to Hell and back, and cause my mind is strong and my will to live over powers death itself." Eric said with a grin. "He must like a challenge!" Bakugo figured. "When we met he also said I have an inner demon…." Eric told them. "Well Carrot top, sounds like you belong in an anime. Power, a mob boss wants to fight you, an inner demon, and a bunch of epic friends!" Bakugo shouted. "Well thank you Boom boy." Eric thanked him while grinning.
