Hello everyone. Ready for the last part of the UJS.
Chapter 23
"Come on now, is that the best that you can do, little Andra? I thought that you were trained better." Zander commented as he ducked under a kick from the female Incursion before attacking himself.
Andra managed to block the punch with her cross arms.
"Where's the scar did Father inflicted on Zander. It may have healed over the years, but if I manage to hit it, then that will give me some chance of victory." Andra thought as she throw Zander's fist off her before throwing a barrage of punches at Zander.
"Hm? Trying to find the wound that your father inflicted on me?" Zander asked, noticing that the punches are widely spread out.
Zander started to smirk when a slight panic look appeared on Andra's face.
Zander block a punch before kicking Andra, sending her skidding backwards.
"Here, let me show you." Zander said as he lifted his shirt and Andra flinching slightly when she saw it.
"It just as bad as All Might's." Andra thought, thinking back to the time when Toshinori showed her his wound.
"It took five years for me to completely recover from the wound, but it did cause me to be unable to use the full extent of the remaining power within me." Zander explained as he lowered his shirt.
"I guess that what made Zander create Project Evol in the first place." Andra thought as Zander started to smirk.
"What are you smirking at?" Andra asked as she got into a battle stance.
"Heh. It looks like your class is not doing well against Izuku." Zander replied, gesturing with his head behind Andra.
This cause the female Incursion to become confuse before turning her head around, being careful so that Zander won't pull any tricks on her.
However, that thought disappeared when Andra's eyes widen in horror as she saw Izuku strangling Ochako.
"I must help her!" Andra thought before starting to head towards them.
However, Zander appeared in front of her.
"It would ruin the fun if you butt in." Zander explained, causing Andra to growl angrily.
"Heh. That's something I like to see. If you want to save your student, then you have to get pass me." Zander explained with a smirk, causing Andra lunged at Zander.
Back with the students, they couldn't move their bodies as they watch the (controlled) Izuku strangle Ochako.
"De...ku...pl...ease...stop..." Ochako said in a strained tone of voice as she struggled to praise Izuku's hand off her throat.
"Move you idiot! A fellow classmate is getting choked to death and your standing completely still. Some hero-in-training you are." Eijiro shouted in his head as he stared at the scene in front of him.
"G-guys. I-I'm s-scared." Toru said in a scared tone of voice.
"You're not the only one, my whole body is paralyzed with fear." Mashirao said, his body shaking slightly.
"Please, someone help, Ochako." Tsuyu thought, fearing the worst for her friend.
It was then that a laser hit Izuku straight in the head, knocking off his mask.
The dark green hair boy let go off Ochako and jumped back and glared in the direction of where the laser originated with his glowing, indigo coloured eyes.
"Well, this has become a troubled situation for you, my friend." Yuga said with a smirk on his face.
"Aoyama!" Everyone exclaimed, becoming relieved at the site of the laser Quirk user.
Regaining his senses, Shoto slammed his right hand onto the ground, sending a wave of ice-spikes straight towards Izuku.
Izuku managed to dodge the attack, but the wave of ice-spikes did create a barrier between the students and the dark green hair boy.
"Uraraka!" Everyone exclaimed as they all rush towards the gravity Quirk user.
"Girl! Don't you dare do that again! Did you know terrifying that was to watch?!" Mina exclaimed, causing everyone to nod their heads.
"So...rry...every...one. I thought that I just...tried a...different tactic." Ochako replied as she breath in lungfuls of air before turning her head towards Yuga.
"Thank you, Aoyama...For saving my life." Ochako said, causing Yuga to nod his head.
"Your welcome. I would shown myself earlier, but I was still recovering from the news." Yuga explained, causing the Minoru, Toru, Mashiroa, Koji and Fumikage, plus Dark Shadow, to become confuse.
"...What news?" Toru asked, causing the other students, who listened to Zander's story, to glance each other nervously.
"We tell you afterwards. We still have Deku to knock out." Katsuki replied, causing everyone to nod their heads.
However, something hit Mashiroa in the stomach, causing him to crumple onto the ground slightly.
"...Camouflaged Zwen!" Eijiro shouted, causing those who became confuse at what just happen to snap into action.
Everyone got out of the way as Mina and Katsuki used their Quirks in the general area where Izuku may be and they smiled slightly when they heard a hissing sound and Izuku became visible again.
"I made sure that my acid will sting a lot." Mina explained as Izuku moved backwards.
As Izuku took a step back, his eyes suddenly widened before gripping his head in pain.
"Did we hurt him too much?" Mina asked, starting to become worried.
"Nah. He'll be fine." Katsuki replied, but he started to become slightly worried himself.
"AAAAAAAAAA!" Izuku screamed in pain, causing everyone to jump and the fight between with the two heroes, two villains, Andra and Zander stop and they turned their heads to see the screaming Izuku.
"Zwen!" All Might, Midnight and Andra exclaimed in the heads whilst Tomura and Kurogiri glance towards Zander who was frowning slightly.
"Deku!" Ochako exclaimed as she attempted to approach Izuku, but was stopped by Tsuyu who grabbed her arm.
"Ochako. I know your worried about Izuku, but now isn't the time to get close to him." Tsuyu explained, causing Ochako to frown but knew that the frog Quirk user as a point.
Red lines started to appear around Izuku's body and pulsed.
"Is that Zwen's enhancement Quirk activating?" Toru asked and immediately everyone felt relieved that Izuku's enhancement Quirk wasn't activated when he was strangling Ochako.
Suddenly, dark green coloured energy burst out of Izuku with some of it surrounding him whilst the other spread out.
Everyone's eyes widen when they saw the green energy that spread out of Izuku starting to take the forms of eight people.
"Are those...the past wielders of One For All?" All Might thought as he recognize one of the silhouettes which took the form of a women wearing a cape.
"W-what's going on?!" Minoru asked, starting to become scared.
"No idea..." Mashirao replied, gulping slightly.
The eight silhouettes turned their attention towards Zander.
"Well, this is a certainly an interesting development..." Zander said, starting to feel that something isn't going to plan.
"Izuku Zwen isn't yours to control." Eight different voices said at the same time, causing everyone to become shock.
"D-did those g-ghosts just s-spoke!" Minoru exclaimed, becoming more scared.
"Uraraka...do you have any idea what's going on...?" Hnata asked, becoming creeped out.
"No idea, this is something completely new to me…" Ochako replied, staring at one of the "ghosts" that look awfully familiar to her.
"Witness Izuku's new path of evolution." The eight "ghosts" said before turning back into the dark green coloured energy and went back into Izuku which then started to encase him like a cocoon.
"Deku. I don't know what's happening, but please be safe..." Ochako thought, gulping slightly.
The dark green energy suddenly burst forth away from Izuku and everyone's eyes widen when they saw that Izuku's dragonish-form has gained a new appearance.
The scales have gained a sharper look to them and his horns have become longer and bigger. Dark green flares surround Izuku's eyes.
"...Phase two." The voices of the eight "ghosts"spoke, revealing the new form's name.
Silence descended around the gathered group of people for a few seconds before Zander started to laugh.
"Now I understand, your-!" Zander began to say but stop as Izuku suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Fast!" Everyone exclaimed at the same time as they looked back at the space that Izuku was originally was in.
"One For All...Critical Smash!" "Izuku" said before punching Zander right on his wound, causing blood to spill out of mouth as he was sent flying.
A dark portal opened up and Zander disappeared within it.
"Tomura. I think it's best if we leave." Kurogiri said, turning his head towards the masked person.
"...I guess your right." Tomura said, causing everyone to get into a battle stance.
"Can you really think you can escape?" Midnight asked just as a black portal appeared.
"Of course. We're at a huge advantage and that boy gained a new level." Tomura said before starting to walk into the portal.
However, Tomura stopped and looked at All Might.
"The next time that we meet, All Might...Your dead." Tomura said before walking into the portal which disappeared after a few seconds.
Silence surrounded the group as Izuku reverted back to his normal dragonish form.
"Deku...?" Ochako asked gingerly, taking a step closer to the dark green hair male.
Izuku blinked a few times before looking at everyone who are all staring at him.
After a few seconds, fear appeared within Izuku's eyes as he took a step backwards.
Ochako quickened her pace when she and everyone else saw Izuku disappearing, his camouflaging ability activating.
When Ochako reached the place that Izuku was in, she only felt empty air.
"...Deku." Ochako muttered, gritting her teeth and tried not to cry.
Somewhere far away in a bar, a dark portal opened up and Tomura walked out of it.
"...What the?" Tomura asked as he stared at the wreckage that has Zander right in the middle.
"Are you okay, Zander?" Kurogiri asked as he made the portal disappeared.
"...in pain." Zander replied as he stood up.
"That punch was something." Zander muttered as he wipe the blood that is coming out of his mouth.
"Never mind that. All Might is in perfect health, he managed to take out Nomu. And those kids are strong. You were wrong, Master." Tomura said as he sat down on a chair that wasn't destroyed.
"No, I wasn't." A voice suddenly spoke from a computer with a static screen.
"How on earth did I not managed to destroy that?" Zander thought, scratching the back of his head.
"We merely got ahead of ourselves. Yes, we underestimated them, something that we shouldn't do against the enemy." The voice spoke, causing Tomura to grunt slightly.
"Anyway, what happened to Nomu? Did you retrieve him?" The voice asked, hoping that it will be good news.
"Unfortunately no, he was sent flying by All Might. If I know his location, then I could have opened a portal." Kurogiri replied and Zander snickered slightly.
"Yes, I saw Nomu flying out of the UJS. I found it hilarious." Zander said, causing Tomura to glare at him.
"Shut up or I turn you to dust." Tomura said, causing Zander to shrug his shoulders.
"And what about you, Zander. Did you managed to retrieved your fragment?" The voice asked, causing Zander to sigh slightly.
"Can you stop referring to Izuku as my fragment, and no, I didn't manage to retrieve him. My control over him was broken." Zander explained, causing the person on the other end of the screen to smirk slightly.
"That's interesting, I guessed your injuries weakened your control over the boy?" The voice asked, causing Zander to gain a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Possible. However, I found out something about Izuku that may interest you." Zander said, causing the owner of the voice to become curious.
"Oh? And what's that?" The voice asked, causing Zander to smile slightly.
"I found out that his All Might's disciple." Zander replied, causing Tomura and Kurogiri to become confuse.
"Of course that brat is All Might's disciple. All Might is a teacher at U.A whilst the brat is a student." Tomura thought, glancing at Zander.
"...That's interesting to know." The voice said, knowing what Zander is referring to.
"Tomura Shigarak, there's no need to cry over spilt milk. Gather stronger troops, take your time. The villains need a symbol of evil. Become that symbol and the world will soon see the terror that you represent." The voice explained, leaving an air of eeriness in the room.
"Izuku Zwen, I can't wait to see what path of evolution you will take with the influence of One For All." Zander thought, starting to smirk.
Classes for both 1-A and 1-B were cancelled the following day so that the students can recover.
The students of class 1-B were slightly miffed that only them were knocked out and are prepared to question class 1-A about what happened the day they came back to school, they knew that a villain appeared but the rest they didn't.
However, class 1-A have more important matters to address.
"Where's Zwen? It's not like him to be late." Tenya asked, looking at the empty seat behind Katsuki.
The engine Quirk user called himself a failure after he woken up, apologizing to the class that he couldn't get any help.
However the class forgive Tenya, saying that it wasn't his fault that he was knocked out by Zander.
The rest of the class, apart from Denki, Momo and Kyoka, became tense.
"Zwen...is taking some time off from school." Miss Kayama replied, causing Tenya to become confuse.
"Why? He didn't received any serious injuries?" Tenya asked again, causing the R-rated heroine to bit her lips as she tried to think of an answer.
"Zwen...didn't received any injuries...Well, it more like he received a lot of emotional scars." Miss Kayama replied nervously, remembering the look in Izuku's eyes before disappearing.
"Er...can you please tell us what happened? I don't feel comfortable with being in the dark whilst everyone else looks out of character." Denki asked, causing Momo, Kyoka and the others who didn't hear Zander's story to nod their heads.
The rest of the class glance each other with nervous looks.
"I...guess that telling the rest of you will be...beneficial, as it will help Izuku feel...better when he comes back to class...probably." Miss Kayama said, causing everyone to sweat-drop.
Miss Kayama started to tell the other half of the class what Zander said before taking control over Izuku.
The reaction from the other half of the class was similar to the ones who first heard the story.
"Zwen...was abandoned by...his own parents..." Momo said in a quite tone of voice, a hand over her mouth.
"Did you know about this, Bakugo?" Tenya asked, causing the explosive Quirk user to shrug his shoulders.
"I knew that he was placed in an orphanage when he was thought to be "Quirkless", the rest he told me after battle training on the second day here." Katsuki replied, causing Tenya to nod his head.
"But how did this Zander person groomed Izuku? Zander didn't mentioned that part, Miss Kayama." Tsuyu pointed out, causing the rest of the class, except Katsuki and Ochako, to nod their heads.
The R-rated Heroine froze slightly before taking a deep breath.
"Even though Zander didn't say how he groomed Zwen. But...I know, as well as Principal Nezu, All Might, Erasure Head, Andra, and the pro-heroes Captain Smoke, Eclipso and Endeavor." Miss Kayama replied, causing the rest of the class to become curious whilst Shoto froze slightly at the name Endeavor.
"Does he knows that Zwen isn't human...?" Shoto thought, frowning slightly.
"Before I say this...I want all of you to prepare yourselves. This will disturb you." Miss Kayama said, causing the class, expect Katsuki and Ochako, to glance at each other nervously.
Miss Kayama told the class that Izuku was experimented on to forcefully awaken the dormant power of Izuku's Incursion side.
Like what Miss Kayama was expecting, everyone gained horrified expressions on their faces.
Even though Ochako heard this news before from Izuku, even though she was ears-dropping on the conversation between the dark green hair boy and Katsuki, she still feels sick at the thought of her friend getting experimented on in the past.
"I feel that...I'm going to...faint. This...is too much for me." Toru said as she place a hand on her forehead.
"Yeah...I know what you mean." Mina said, her usual pink skin has become slightly whiter.
"Zwen looked completely fine though. I never would thought he would have gone through an experience like that." Hanta said, causing everyone to nod their heads in agreement.
"So, how did Zwen manage to escape the place he was being experimented on?" Fumikage asked, causing everyone to look at Miss Kayama.
"Do you remember reading about a laboratory being stormed by the police and a group of heroes six years ago?" Miss Kayama asked, causing everyone to nod their heads.
"It was the first sighting of All Might after his mysterious three mouths disappearance." Rikido said, causing Miss Kayama to nod her head.
"That's correct, Sado. Anyway, the laboratory that Zwen was being kept in was owned by a person called Professor Jenze, someone who Zander managed to rope into his plan. The group of heroes which were selected for the mission were me and the heroes that I mentioned before." Miss Kayama explained before Ochako raised her hand.
"How did you found out that Deku was in the laboratory?" Ochako asked, causing Miss Kayama to freeze.
Everyone started to become confuse when their homeroom teacher started to become nervous.
"Well...We didn't know that Zwen was there in the first place." Miss Kayama replied, causing everyone to stare at the R-rated heroine with a blank expressions on their faces.
"...Huh?!" Everyone said at the same time, causing Miss Kayama to smile sheepishly.
"We stormed the laboratory because Professor Jenze was practicing illegal experiments. So, when we stormed the laboratory, Zwen took the opportunity to escape as the laboratory was thrown into confusion." Miss Kayama explained, starting to become more nervous under the stare of her students and Andra.
"...That must have been one mixed up mission." Andra said, causing Miss Kayama to snap her head around to face her.
"Give us a break! Like I said, we didn't know that Zwen was there in the first place!" Miss Kayama exclaimed, causing the class to laugh slightly.
"So...what happened to Zwen after you..."rescued" him?" Kirishima asked, quoting the word.
"It was decided that Eclipso would look after Zwen, since she was friends with his parents. That how he gained the name, Zwen." Miss Kayama replied, causing the most of the class to become.
"What was Zwen's original name?" Momo asked, becoming curious.
"His original surname was Midoria." Miss Kayama replied, causing the class to glance at each other.
"So, how did that Zander creep took control over Zwen?" Denki asked, causing Andra to smirk slightly.
Miss Kayama became silent.
The R-rated heroine didn't mentioned that Izuku is non-human as she know that it will be too much for those who didn't heard Zander's story the first time to take in at once. "Well...Zwen...isn't...human..." Miss Kayama replied and silence descended around the classroom.
"...WHAT!?" Half of the class exclaimed at the same time.
"Thank goodness that these walls are sound proof." Andra thought, remember being told Power Loader that the walls in each room are sound proof.
"What do you mean Zwen isn't human?!" Minoru asked in a shock tone of voice.
"Zwen contains DNA that isn't human. Zander used that DNA to take control over him." Andra explained before Miss Kayama could say anything.
"...How did Zander found out that Zwen isn't human?" Fumikage asked, causing Andra to take a deep breath.
"Because the DNA in Izuku was original Zander's before it was separated and attached itself to Zwen whilst he was still a baby." Andra replied, causing the class to become silent.
"So...does that make Zander non-human as well?" Mashirao asked, causing Andra to nod her head.
"That's correct, Ojiro. Zander belongs to a race called the Incursions. A race that has the genetic ability of evolution." Andra explained, causing the class to realize something.
"So, Zwen's "Darwin Theory" Quirk isn't a Quirk at all?" Toru asked, causing Andra to nod her head.
"That's correct, Hagakure. And the indigo aura that Izuku was using when was fighting all of you isn't a Quirk that most of you were probably thinking." Andra said, causing the class to become confuse.
"It's ability called "Soul Force", something that similar to Quirks." Andra explained, causing the class to glance at each other.
It was then that something clicked in Momo's mind.
"Miss Kindle, are you...an Incursion as well?" The creative Quirk user asked, causing Andra to smirk.
"I was hoping that someone would guessed that before I could reveal that." Andra replied, causing the other students of class 1-A to widen their eyes at the revelation.
"So why do you seem hellbent on killing Zander? You seemed to have some sort vendetta with him." Denki explained, causing Andra to nod her head.
"That's correct, Kamainari. Back on the planet Viria, the home of the Incursion race, where the environment there is extremely harsh, Zander is part of a tribe called the Shattered Swords, which cause destruction and fear to spread wherever they go. The tribe decided to attack my home and the aftermath was that my home was completely destroyed, but also the Shattered Sword tribe also suffered great losses. The one who caused the greatest destruction was Zander and when we found that he was still alive, despite the near-fatal wound that my father gave him, the survivors started to search for Zander." Andra explained, causing the class to become sad at the sorry.
"So, why did you decided to attack Deku when we first saw you?" Ochako asked, causing Andra to freeze slightly before starting to become nervous.
"Well, my Soul Force allows my to sense people's aura and since, now that I think about it, Zwen has Zander's DNA and apart of his soul within him, I mistook him for Zander." Andra explained, causing the class to become confuse.
"But Zander has indigo coloured scales whilst Zwen has dark green coloured scales." Mina pointed out, causing Andra to start smile sheepishly.
"Well...It has been about twenty-one years since I last saw Zander, so I thought he somehow change the colour of his scales." Andra replied sheepishly, causing the class to sweat-drop.
"So, what happened to Zwen back at the UJS? With those eight "ghosts" and him changing forms?" Mashiroa asked, causing Tenya, Denki, Momo and Kyoka to become confuse and bit creeped out.
"I mentioned that the Incursion race has the genetic ability of evolving their bodies. Well, I suspected that Zwen's enhancer Quirk would cause him to undergo unique evolution..." Andra began to explain, causing the class to become interested.
"As for those "ghosts"...No idea." Andra replied and Denki raised his hands.
"Care to explain to those who wasn't present to witness these...ghosts." Denki asked, causing Tenya, Momo and Kyoka to nod their heads.
"What broke Zander's control over Zwen was the appearance of eight "ghosts" which seemed to emerge from Zwen's body." Andra replied, causing Denki, Tenya, Momo and Kyoka to shudder.
"That's creepy." Kyoka said, causing the whole class to nod their heads in agreement.
"But who are they?" Tsuyu asked, causing everyone to glance at each other.
"Are they people that Zander killed in the past and decided to help Zwen." Toru suggested, causing everyone to look at her.
"But that doesn't explain why they came out of Zwen in the first place." Eijiro pointed out, causing the invisible Quirk user to hum slightly.
As everyone in the class comes up with different theories, one person has a good idea of who to ask.
And there we have it, the conclusion of the UJS arc. I hope that everyone enjoyed seeing Izuku's new upgrade and seeing the past wielder's of One For All helping Izuku to break free from Zander's control.
MidnightRainCloud: I'm glad to see that your are.
Izuku1215: I don't understand the "Sephiroth" part but I'm glad that your enjoyed it.
sparkboygaming: Well, your are mostly right except for the first part.
fencer29: 1) The bit about "Please don't kill me" was me joking because it looked like I was about to kill one of the main characters.
2) Thank you for for pointing this out to me and I try not to include the long pauses.
Lightingblade49: Yep, poor Izuku.
