HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM NEW YORK, EVERYBODY!
Ready for the reunion between Zander and Izuku.
Chapter 22
Zander's smile widen when his eyes fell on Izuku.
"How are doing Izuku? It's been a while, hasn't it?" Zander asked, causing Izuku to take a slight breath.
"I...been okay." Izuku replied in a unsure tone of voice.
The exchange cause the group of students and teachers, except Andra, to become confuse.
"Zwen, do you know this person?" Midnight asked, glancing at the dark green hair boy who nodded her head.
"That's Zander Crom." Izuku replied, causing Midnight, All Might and Katsuki to become wide eyes.
"So, this is the person who kidnapped Deku." Katsuki thought as he started to glare at Zander.
It was then that Zander turn his attention towards Andra.
"Well, well. it's little Andra. You certainly grown. You were like...five when I last saw you. " Zander said and it was at this point that Andra is starting to shake.
"ZANDER!" Andra shouted with rage before charging at the indigo eye male.
However, Zander managed to duck under the attack and jump backwards.
"Heh. You have became fast, little Andra." Zander noted as he landed and clutch the side of his stomach slightly.
"Andra, Calm down! Getting your emotions get the better of you won't get you anywhere." All Might explained to the still glaring Andra.
"Do you guys know what's going on?" Neito asked the 1-A class students, except Izuku and Katsuki, who shook their heads.
"No idea. We're in the dark as much as you are." Eijiro replied, causing Neito to sigh in disappointment.
"But Zwen seems to know this man." Pony pointed out, causing the rest of the students to glance Izuku who is frowning under his mask.
Zander then turn his head towards Kurogiri.
"Have you giving the students the sleeping drug?" Zander asked, causing the black flog villain to nod his head.
"I have. It was when I separated the students at the entrance." Kurogiri replied,
"drug!?" Kosei exclaimed as the students and teachers to become wide eyes.
"That's right. I want this next part to be...private." Zander replied and it was then that Ibara started to wobble.
"I...feel...faint." The vine haired student said weakly before starting to fall onto ground.
"I got you!" Eijiro exclaimed as he quickly caught the vine hair girl in his arms.
Pony, Kosei, Neito and Kojiro started to feel faint and started to fall onto the ground.
"What have you done to them?" Shoto asked, glaring at Zander whilst struggling to hold Kojiro, who has a muscular form.
"Don't worry. It's only a sleeping drug which has a delayed effect." Zander said in a reassuring tone of voice.
"Why?" Katsuki asked, his hands smoking slightly.
"Like I said, I want this next part to be private." Zander repeated, causing Katsuki to scowl.
"So why are Zwen, Bakugo, Kirishima and Todoroki aren't sleeping?" All Might asked, causing the class 1-A students to become surprise.
"I asked Kurogiri to place the sleeping drug on the students of class 1-B. Izuku here will have loads of answers to ask and I thought it's best if his fellow classmates get to know him in a new light." Zander replied and Izuku's eyes started to widen.
"NoNoNoNoNoNoNo." Izuku repeated in his head, his blood starting to freeze.
"What do you mean by that?" Shoto, who managed to place Kojiro safely on the ground, asked, glancing towards Izuku and notice how shaky he became.
"Well, it's bad to keep secrets from friends, such as you, Izuku, keeping the secret that you're not human." Zander said, causing Shoto, Eijiro and Katsuki to turn their attention towards the dark green hair boy.
"...Zwen...Is that true...?" Eijiro asked, causing Izuku to become silent.
"...Yes." Izuku replied, not making eye-contact with anyone.
This cause Eijiro, Katsuki and Shoto to become shock.
"I wonder if Zander told the villains, they look calm about this." Midnight thought, seeing how Tomura and Kurogiri look relax.
"What are blabbering about!? Deku's parents are human!" Katsuki shouted, going back to glaring at Zander.
"Yes. That's something that have been eating you since finding about your extraterrestrial side, right Izuku?" Zander asked, causing the dark green hair boy to nod his head.
"Well, you better sit down everyone. It's quite a story." Zander explained and Izuku skin started to become white.
"...What do you mean by...everyone?" Izuku asked, hoping that what Zander is implying isn't right.
The dark green hair boy turned his head to see all the 1-A students, that remained at the entrance, behind him, all with shock expressions on their faces.
"What you all doing here!?" Midnight asked, shock at their appearance.
"One of those black portals appeared and sent us over here. Vlad King is still up at the entrance with Thirteen." Mezo explained just as the others notice the still unconscious Tenya.
"I asked earlier Kurogiri if he can bring you all here." Zander explained as Midnight glance at the black fog villain.
"What about the others? Not all of class 1-A students are here?" All Might asked, realizing that not of class 1-A is present.
"I can only open warp gates to places, I can't open gates at specific people." Kurogiri explained, causing Tomura to glance over at the black fog villain.
"Did you really have to say that?" Tomura asked, causing Kurogiri to shrug his shoulders, even though nobody can see them.
"It doesn't matter, it not like they can do anything with the information." Kurogiri explained, causing Tomura to become silent.
"So, care to explain, Zander?" Andra asked, the only thing that is stopping her from attacking Zander is her curiosity.
"Of course. It all starts off with your father almost killing me." Zander began to explain, causing all the current students to surprise.
"When your father gave me that near fatal blow, part of my soul and DNA separated from my body which got attached to a piece of rock which ended up as meteor in space." Zander continue to explain, causing everyone, except Izuku, Andra, Midnight and All Might to become confuse.
"...A piece of a person's soul and DNA...separating from ones body...Is that even possible...?" Hanta asked in a stunned tone of voice.
"It is now." Tsuyu replied, sensing that Zander is not telling a lie.
"After I healed from my wound that your father, Andra, gave me, I started to track down the meteor. After a while of searching I found that the meteor crash landed in this country. You folk started to call it the Ruhr meteor." Zander said, causing everyone to become surprise.
It was then that Ochako realize something.
"The scientists did say that the crystals/metal-mineral they studied are made up of an un-known compound." Ochako said, causing Zander to start clapping.
"That's correct, little girl. Your referring to the Nixtus." Zander said, making Ochako pout at being called "little girl".
"Anyway, when I managed to find the meteor that contained my essence, something unexpected happened. Before I continue, I want to point out that this was set sometime after the scientists decided to give half of the meteor to the museum." Zander pointed out, causing a scowl to appear on Katsuki's face.
"Just get on with story." Katsuki said harshly, causing Zander to look at him.
"Cool your jets, young man." Zander said, causing Katsuki's scowl to deepen.
"Carrying on with the story, when I arrived at the museum, where half of the meteor has been newly placed, my essence within the meteor reacted with my presence and started to move, like a bee heading back to the nest. At the time, a heroine, who was on guard duty at the time, was meeting up with some of her friends, a married couple where the wife is carrying a newly developing baby. My essence somehow made the wife it's host, maybe it's got confuse or just decided to attach itself to the first living being that it can find." Zander explained, causing everyone to sweat-drop.
"Anyway, instead of making the wife it's host, my essence started to fuse with baby, changing it's DNA." Zander said, causing the students and teachers to become shock.
"Does that...make the child...related to you, then?" Hanta asked, causing Zander to gain a thoughtful look on his face.
"I guess that you can put it that way." The indigo eyes male replied, causing Andra to frown slightly.
"Anyway, when I discovered about this, I became angry that I couldn't reclaim my missing essence...But then an idea appeared in my head." Zander said, causing the students and teachers to glance at each other.
"And what Idea was this?" Andra asked, trying not to fear the worst.
"Is it possible for me to replicate my power within the child? That's idea that appeared in my head, making the child my successor." Zander explained, causing the students to become curious.
"What is your Quirk?" Mezo asked whilst becoming tense.
"The power that I wield is being able to create an energy that is similar to a black hole." Zander replied before raising his hand and letting it get covered in an indigo colour aura.
This cause everyone, except Izuku, the teachers and the villains to become wide eyes.
"That's...the same as Thirteen's Quirk..." Ochako sais, causing Zander to nod his head.
"Yes, you can say that." Zander said as he immediately shut off the indigo aura.
"Back to the story, I had to be patient for the child to be born and grow up to a suitable age so that I can start grooming them. I became surprise that the child was born six months early than it should be...in perfect health I might add. I guessed at the time that my essence within the child sped up the process." Zander explained, causing the students and teachers to become surprise.
"However, I guess that it cost the child to be born with two joints in their toe, the usual sign that a person is incapable of manifesting a Quirk. It was slightly upsetting for me, I hoped that the child would have manifested a Quirk, making them more powerful with my replicated power." Zander explained, some students to feel pity for the child, knowing that will be a high chance for them to subjugated to bullying.
"I was hoping to start grooming the child when they were five years old, but a...certain event cause my plans to be altered, but nothing too major." Zander explained and it was then that Mina became confuse.
"You said that this child had two joints in their toe, so how were you going to groom the child to be your successor if they aren't able to manifest a Quirk at all?" Mina asked, starting to become curious.
This cause Zander to smirk slightly.
"I was referring to the child manifesting their own Quirk. I knew that my power would manifest because it is coming from my DNA." Zander replied, causing Mina to become confuse.
"Anyway, the first part of grooming the child into my successor, is to awaken my power. Even though the child has my power, it was laying dormant, so I asked someone to help with my task. The process took part in two phases, the first phase already completed." Zander explained and it was then that Shoto gained a question in his head.
"Do the child's parents know about this." The white and red hair student asked, causing Zander to shake his head.
"No, the mother decided to place the child within an orphanage when she couldn't handle the pressure of having a child that is Quirkless. That gave me the opportunity to take the child and start my plan." Zander replied, causing the students present to become angry whilst the gears in Izuku's, Katsuki's. Ochako's, All Might's, and Midnight's head started to turn.
"What's the child's name?" Shoto asked again, causing Zander to grin.
"The child's birth name is Midoriya, but they go by another name..." Zander began to say, causing Izuku's eyes to widen behind his mask.
"NoNoNoNoNoNo! Please don't say it!" Izuku exclaimed in his head, starting to shake.
"...They go by the name of Zwen." Zander finished, causing all the students present, not including Katsuki and Ochako, and Andra to turn their heads towards Izuku with stunned expressions on their faces.
"Izuku...you were abandoned by your own mum?" Tsuyu asked, a part of her hoping that this isn't true.
"...Yes." Izuku whispered, but everyone managed to hear him.
"Oh...god..." Mina said as she place a hand over her mouth.
"And here I thought that my past was the worst." Shoto thought, thinking about the brutal past he had to endure because of his father.
Ochako looked at Izuku with a worried expression on her face.
"Wait a minute, Zwen has two Quirks, Darwin theorye and the strength enhancer." Hanta said, but immediately regretted it when he realized that Tomura and Kurogiri are still present.
However, the two villains didn't look surprise at all, even though nobody can see Tomura's face and Kurogiri's can't show any emotions due to head being black fog.
"I knew that Izuku's evolution abilities will awaken as it's powers is tied with my DNA, but the strength enhancer is a complete mystery to me." Zander explained replied with whilst scratching the back of his head.
"Let hope that he doesn't learn about One For All. Zander does look like the type who can get up to mischief." All Might thought, wincing slightly.
"What do you mean by successor, Zander? What are you planning with Zwen?" Andra asked, starting to gain a nasty feeling in her stomach.
Zander started to chuckle.
"Isn't that kind of obvious, little Andra..." Zander said before transforming into his own Incursion form, causing all the current students to become shock.
"This guy also wield Darwin's Theory!?" Everybody exclaimed in their heads.
"...To carry on the lore of the Shattered sword tribe, destroy and spread fear!" Zander exclaimed and all the students and the teachers, except Andra became shock.
"Like hell, Deku will became some villain!" Katsuki shouted before charging straight towards Zander with the aid of his Quirk.
"Bakugo! Don't!" Andra shouted just as Zander started to smirk as his eyes glowed slightly.
Someone suddenly appeared in front of the charging Katsuki and kicked him in the stomach, causing the explosive Quirk user to be sent crashing onto the ground.
Everyone became shock when they saw who kicked Katsuki.
"Z-Zwen? What are you doing?" Eijiro asked, surprised at seeing the dark green hair teen standing in front of Zander.
However, Izuku didn't respond.
"Zander, what did you do to Zwen?" Midnight asked, glaring at the indigo scale coloured Incursion.
"Didn't I explain that Izuku has my essence in him, meaning that I can take control over him. If you want to release him from my control, then you have to fight me." Zander explain, a smirk appearing on his face.
"...ZANDER!" Andra yelled, making everyone jump, in rage before charging straight towards Zander.
"Oh little Andra, do you really think that I will let you near me?" Zandra asked, causing Andra's eyes to widen when Izuku suddenly appeared in Andra's line of view.
"Shoot! I can't stop!" Andra exclaimed in her head as her clench fist, that was aimed at Zander, went straight towards Izuku's head.
However, Izuku fist started to be covered in an indigo aura before the dark green hair boy duck under Andra's attack and punch the female Incursion in the stomach.
"W-what?!" Andra exclaimed, clutching her stomach and backing away slightly whilst everyone else became shock at the new power that Izuku has just shown.
"Heh. I just unlock my power that was sleeping within Izuku." Zander explained, causing Andra's eyes to widen.
"Of course! Since Izuku has Zander's essence within him, he is capable of using the same Soul Force as him." Andra thought, the realization causing her to become shock.
"This, everyone, is the fruit of Project Evol!" Zander exclaimed with wide arms.
"So, this is Project Evol, making Zwen, Zander's successor." Andra thought as she became tense.
It was then that Izuku dash towards the female Incursion, the indigo aura surrounding his fist becoming brighter as his other clench fist started to get covered in an indigo aura as well.
Everyone watch as Izuku attacked Andra.
"Did Zander made Zwen faster?" Andra thought as she backed away and dodging the punches that Izuku throw at her.
Just as one of Izuku's attacks was about to hit Andra, someone tackled Izuku, everyone turn their heads to see Rikido holding Izuku by the waist.
"Thanks, Sato!" Andra called feeling relieved that she didn't have to hit Izuku.
"Your welco-Ohf!" Rikido began to say but got interrupted as Izuku managed to elbow him in the chin, causing Rikido to loosen his grip on the dark green hair boy who jumped away to create some space.
"What situation did we ended up in..." All Might muttered, causing Midnight to nod her head in agreement as Andra started to fight Zander.
"What should we do? There's still Tomura and Kurogiri to take care of. Andra will certainly go after Zander, that will leave me and All Might to fight the two villains." Midnight thought, knowing that she couldn't fight both villains at the same time.
"That just leaves Zwen. Should I let the students deal with him?" Midnight thought, becoming worried about the safety of the students.
After a few seconds of debating, Midnight let out a small sigh.
"Class. I'm letting you deal with Zwen until Kindle manages to release Zander's control over him. Me and All Might will deal with the two villains." Midnight explained, causing the students to become surprise whilst All Might grimace slightly.
"A-are your sure about this, Midnight?" Ochako asked, glancing towards Izuku, who is standing still, worriedly and notice that the eye pieces of his mask are glowing indigo.
"It's the only thing I can think of. I try to be fast enough so that I can put Zwen to sleep with my Quirk. Ready, All Might?" Midnight explained before glancing at All Might who nodded his head.
"So, has anyone got any good ideas?" Hanata asked as he and everyone else focus their attention onto Izuku as Midnight and All Might started to fight Tomura and Kurogiri.
"Beat him senseless." Katsuki replied, a wide grin appearing on his face and sparks started to fly from his hands.
Everyone gave him a look that say's "Seriously?", causing the explosive Quirk user to glare at them slightly.
"It was an idea..." Katsuki grumbled before crossing his arms.
"If I was Deku, what would he think of?" Ochako thought as her eyes landed on Shoto.
"...What?" The white and red hair student asked, realizing that the Ochako is staring at him.
"Todoroki...could you freeze Deku until Zander's control over him disappears?" Ochako asked, causing Shoto to nod his head.
"I can, but I need him to be standing still, Zwen is good a dodging..." Shoto explained, causing everyone else to glance at each other.
"We'll distract Zwen. It can't be a too difficult task with this many of us." Eijiro said, causing everybody to nod their heads.
"I guard Mr Aizawa, Tenya and the four students from class 1-B." Tsuyu said, raising an arm.
"I'll help. I got the feeling that guarding six people will be difficult with that guy's Quirk that Zwen is using." Mezo said, causing Tsuyu to nod her heads.
"Right! time for operation knock out Izuku Zwen, begin." Ochako said, causing everyone to smile slightly despite the dangerous situation they are in.
The first person who made their move is Izuku who lunge towards the current group of students.
The current students of class 1-A scattered, with Tsuyu and Mezo moving the knocked out people as far away as possible.
Hanta shot out some tape which wrapped around one of Izuku's arms.
"Gotcha!" Hanata said, smirking slightly as he held the tape tight.
However, the smirk died when he saw the tape getting destroyed by the indigo aura.
Izuku turned his attention towards Hanta and began to approach him.
Izuku sense something and turned his head to the side just in time to get an explosion right in the face.
"Hah! That would teach you to be aware of your surrounds, Deku!" Katsuki exclaimed with a wide smile on his face.
From within the smoke, that's been caused by the explosion, a fist came flying towards Katsuki's face.
"I got it!" Eijiro said as he got in front of Katsuki and block the punch with his cross arms, hardened with his Quirk.
The spiky red teen started to grit his teeth as pain started to run through his arms.
However, the pain disappeared when Izuku had to jump back to avoid getting hit by ice.
"Hey! I didn't need your help. I could have block that punch easily." Katsuki said before noticing the pained look on Eijiro's face.
"What's wrong?" Katsuki asked, becoming concerned slightly.
"Touching that indigo aura is something you shouldn't do. It hurts like hell." Eijiro replied, causing Katsuki to frown slightly.
"Guess that makes sense. That Zander guy did say that he can produce a power similar to a black hole." Katsuki said, causing Eijiro to nod his head.
"I would have probably started to disintegrate if I touched it any longer..." Eijiro said before shivering slightly at the thought.
Back with Izuku and the others, Mina is attacking the dark green hair boy with her acid.
"Come on, keep still so that I can hit you..." Mina muttered as she throw acid at Izuku who managed to dodge the acid thrown at him.
Izuku jumped backwards and when he landed on the ground, he was immediately punch on the sides.
"Nice one, Sado!" Mina exclaimed with a smile on her face whilst giving Rikido a thumbs up.
"It's thanks to you for distracting him." Rikido said before focusing his attention back to Izuku.
Even though Rikido couldn't see Izuku's face behind his mask, he got the feeling that the dark green hair boy is glaring at him.
"What on earth did that guy do to him?" Rikido thought before Izuku charged at him.
Just before Rikido could do anything, a circle of ice appeared around Izuku and trapping him the middle.
"You okay, Sato?" Shoto asked as he stared at Izuku who attempting to break free of the ice.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for asking." Rikido said as he and everyone one else saw Izuku's scales turning into fur.
"...I wonder how warm that fur is?" Mina asked, causing everyone to stare at her.
"...You seriously asking that question?" Eijiro asked and Mina was about reply but stop as the breaking of ice is heard.
"How strong is that Indigo aura?" Ochako thought as she stared at the now freed Izuku who focus his attention on Shoto before charging towards him.
"Todoroki!" Everyone exclaimed as the white and red hair student wasn't fast enough and Izuku managed to knock him onto the ground.
"Deciding to go after the one is the biggest problem in a group, good move." Shoto commented as he tried to get Izuku off him.
"Hang on, I'm coming!" Ochako called as she rush towards the two and prepared to use her Quirk on Izuku.
However, before the gravity Quirk user can get close to the pair, fire roared from Shoto's left arm.
Izuku hissed in pain as he was forced to let go of the white and red hair student and backed off, his fur singed slightly.
"Wow. That's the first time that you produce fire, Todoroki." Ochako said in amazed tone of voice as she helped Shoto up.
However, the white and red haired student was more focused on his left arm.
"Why did I used my left side? I told myself that I will never to use that power I got from him. So why now...?" Shoto thought in confusion.
The white and red hair teen was brought out of his thoughts when he saw Izuku getting hit by something.
"Zwen! Why are you fighting your own teammates!?" The voice of Toru Hagakure can be heard and Izuku snapped his heard in the direction of her voice.
"Hagakure! Get away from him!" Mezo shouted, causing the invisible Quirk user to become confuse before getting kicked in the stomach, sending her flying before crashing onto the ground.
"Owe..." Toru mound as she struggled to get up.
"Hagakure, are you okay?" Hanta asked, finding the invisible Quirk user by the raising dust.
"Yeah, but what on earth is going on?" Toru asked as she slow got up.
"Well, that villain Andra is fighting against is controlling Zwen and me and the others are trying to knock him out." Hanta asked, causing Toru to gasp slightly as she glance towards the battle between Andra and Zander.
"There's another person with Darwin's theory!" Toru thought before focusing her attention back onto Hanta.
"Why though?" Toru asked, causing Hanta to gain a nervous expression on his face.
"Its...complicated." Hanta replied, causing Toru to gain a confuse look to appear on her face becoming wide eyes.
"Zwen is coming." Toru said, causing Hanta to turn his head to see the dark green hair boy approaching them.
As Hanta and Toru got into a battle stance, Izuku step on something, causing him to become stuck.
"Huh?" Hanta and Toru said at the same time notice that Izuku is standing on a couple of purple balls.
"Mineta!?" All the students exclaimed at the same time before looking in a direction to see the purple "hair" teen with Mashirao standing next to him.
"Now, Ojiro!" Minoru exclaimed and Mashirao suddenly charge towards Izuku.
The indigo aura surrounding Izuku flared, causing the purple balls to disappear.
However, Mashirao's tail still managed to hit the dark green hair boy in the face, sending him flying before crashing onto the ground.
The tail Quirk user wince in pain slightly, causing him to become confuse.
"Okay, can someone please explain to us why Zwen is attacking you guys?" Mashirao asked, glancing at the others just as Minoru joined them.
"Deku is being controlled by that indigo scaled person over there." Ochako replied, causing the two newly joined students to turn their heads and became surprise at seeing Zander.
"So, you guys are trying to hold Zwen down until Midnight can user her Quirk on him?" Minoru asked, seeing that the R-rated heroine is busy.
"That's main idea, yes." Ochako replied just as Izuku slowly got up from the ground and started to eye the people around him.
"Who is he going to attack next?" Everyone thought at the same time.
Izuku found his next target and dash straight towards Tsuyu and Mezo.
"Here he comes." Mezo said as he got into a battle stance and prepared to defend the unconscious people.
Tsuyu nodded her head as she prepared herself.
However, before Izuku can get close to them, a dark shadowy creature intercepted Izuku.
"Tokiyomi! Koda" Both Mezo and Tsuyu said at the same time as the saw the bird headed student and the rock-shape head student approaching them.
"Are you two okay?" Fumikage asked as he kept an eye on Izuku.
"We're okay, thanks, for the help." Mezo said, causing Fumikage to nod his head.
"...What's going on?" Koji asked, causing Mezo and Tsuyu to become surprise because they never heard Koji speak often.
"Some villain is controlling Izuku." Tsuyu replied, causing Koji to become scared slightly.
"You're not getting past me!" Dark Shadow exclaimed as he continued his assault on Izuku.
"Now!" Eijiro exclaimed and most of the students present jumped on Izuku.
However, the dark green hair boy released a pulse of the indigo aura, causing everyone, including Dark Shadow, to be sent flying backwards.
"Seriously? How did Zwen managed to wield a new gained power so easily?" Mina asked as she slowly got up from the ground.
"Your guess is as good as mine." Shoto asked, frowning towards Izuku. With the dark green hair boy, he started to eye around him, choosing his next target. However, before he could make a dision, footsteps can be heard heading towards him.
"Uraraka!" Everyone exclaimed, starting to become worried for the gravity Quirk user. Izuku tilted his head to the side as he watch Ochako getting close to him.
"Izuku. Stop this. This isn't like you, hurting your friends." Ochako said as she got closer to Izuku, trying to hide fears.
"Your better than this. You're not going to let some villain take control over you right, you can fight this, right?" Ochako asked with a smile on her face.
Total silence filled the air around the students, the battle between the heroes, villains, Andra and Zander seemed miles away.
"What on earth is she doing?" Mina asked, starting to become very worried.
"I guess trying a new method." Shoto replied, hoping that whatever plan Ochako has in mind is a good one.
Izuku stared at Ochako for a few seconds suddenly moving an arm.
