And I'm BACK! FINALLY!
Here's Chapter 29 of Death and Beyond!
Finally! I'm done with exams! (well I still have one exam left, and have to learn how to code...but done nonetheless) So I've managed to squeeze some of my time to make this.
I hope you guys like it and I'm sorry for the veeeeeryy long wait you guys experienced.
so I hope you guys enjoy!
Everything was dark, there was nothing but blackness all around. Silence accompanied the darkness making the surrounding have a vibe that some people may describe as…creepy.
Tomomi sat up unfazed by his surroundings. Looking around he slowly stood up.
'The Void.'
He walked forward each of his steps had no sound. Everything was silent. Just him. All alone.
'Why am I here?'
He walked and walked. His walk felt like hours, his surroundings didn't change it was still darkness.
'I've been sent in the Void countless of times…why am I here?'
Like a prayer has been answered he saw an object in the distance, walking faster towards it and finally seeing what it was.
A television.
'What is this doing here?'
Looking down he saw some tapes lying around, picking one up he read the title 'Death1'
'Death1?'
He looked at the television and at the tape. He inserted the tape and the television came to life.
"Come on Thomas! We're gonna be late!"
"Make sure to work hard all right."
"You know son. I never imagined that you will graduate."
"Hey let's have some fun."
"Bro!"
Tomomi's eyes widen at what he was seeing. This was the first world he was in. His very origin before all of this. This was Thomas.
'Why am I seein-'
*Crash*
Everything was slowed down. Next thing it showed he was staring at the sky. Memories of everything he experienced keeps replaying over and over again.
Deciding it was enough he ejected the tape. He looked down at the other tapes.
There were 3 left.
3 more worlds.
He put the other tape in and it began to play.
And again the same thing, his life the his death, replaying over and over again.
Putting another tape, the same result. The other, still the same.
*Crack*Break*
In a split second his surrounding began to crack then exploded to little pieces, shielding his eyes, he avoided the debris.
Opening his eyes he saw 4 TV's all playing his life over and over again.
He was staring at every single one of them. 'Am I going crazy?'
He was about to walk towards them when he suddenly felt something touch his shoulder. Jumping to his feet he turned around only to be shocked.
It was his mother. From the first world.
"M-o-Mom?"
Something then touched his hand. Looking at his hand, he was almost at tears when he saw a little girl holding his hand.
"Jaz?"
A tap on the back of his head.
"Kent, Cros!"
A hand on his shoulder, turning around he saw his 'wife' and 'daughter'
"Christine! Samantha!"
Each and every one of the people he cared for was hear, but something felt…off.
Their grips tightened and their lips began to move. But all I hear was garbled message.
"I-I can't und-understand…"
Their looks softened and Christine made me face her, with a tender smile. Her lips moved once more to give a message but nothing came.
Then everything went white.
"GAH!"
Tomomi sat up on his bed gasping, looking around he spotted everything was where they were and he was in his room. Calming himself he began to review his dream.
'Just another dream…what does it mean though?'
Thinking he won't get any answer from his bed he went out and prepared for the day.
Going down the elevator clad in his uniform, mind still in a daze because of his dream.
In all the lives he had he never had this dream and this intense, sure there were some dreams that include his past lives but never this intense. He couldn't think of anything that can answer his question. He could go to Ragdoll for help, her Quirk is suited for this kind of problem.
The elevator dinged signalling he reached his destination, stepping out of the elevator he was greeted by the sight of Izuku with a very determined look on his face.
'Oh yeah, 3 days have already passed and he can go back to school.'
It was a boring 3 days, nothing but a few lessons, sparring, hanging out and stuff nothing out of the ordinary. The only topic that keeps repeating is the Internship.
'The Internship huh?'
Later that day…
' I don't know if I can take this day as weird or crazy.'
The Big Three was introduced, starting with a guy that thinks us as potatoes, Nejire being…well Nejire. Tomomi putting Mineta down, and a blonde guy challenging all of us. Class 1-A versus him alone.
'Weird or crazy…or maybe both.'
Now Class 1-A was at the Gamma Gymnasium wearing their PE uniform.
"Just come at me whenever you're ready."
"We've battled pro's before."
"And have experience in fighting Villains."
Todoroki and Kirishima said preparing their Quirks.
"Are you worrying that we're just a bunch of small-fry's!"
"No not at all." The blonde guy said. "Just testing your experience with mine." He raised his hand and challenged them with his hand that clearly says 'Bring it on' "Come on who's first?"
"I wi-"
"I will!" Izuku said, surprising Kirishima.
"The problem child? Good then. And just like I expected you're full of energy."
"I like the energy Izuku." Tomomi said crouching down. Suddenly a burst of lightning covered his entire body. "But we should never underestimate an enemy."
Izuku followed suit, flowing One for All to his entire body.
"Let's GO!" Izuku, Tomomi and Shiro with Shiro providing support with his Shadow swords.
Then suddenly his top fell off. Wait no it slipped through him.
Tomomi looked at Izuku and he nodded Tomomi hung back and while Izuku took the first move.
Izuku shot up and aimed his foot on the blonde's face, but it slipped through him.
Izuku was sent a couple of inches away from him.
'Just like I thought his Quirk lets him slip through things.'
*Gloop*Thoom*Crash*
The others sent their attacks in a combined combo. When the debris cleared it was shown that he disappeared.
"He's Gone!"
"What! Teleportation too?!"
"I guess I need to clear the long-range ones" Said someone behind them, Jiro looked back only to see the blonde man behind her. Her eyes widen and braced herself.
"DUCK!" Hearing those words she did so and a gush of air went past her. Looking up she saw Shiro holding a huge hammer and striking the blonde man.
It would have succeed if only it didn't go through him.
"Feisty one aren't you."
Name: Mirio Togata
Hero Name: Lemillion
Quirk: Permeation
Info: Allows him to be intangible, letting him travel through walls and the ground.
"I'm not the only one."
Mirio's eyes widen and he sank to the ground.
Tomomi flew past the position Mirio was in, he missed but he doesn't seem to be affected by that much.
'Passing through walls and the ground. He can go to a location in fast pace…I wonder…'
"Take this!" Kirishima yelled behind Mirio who recently just popped out of the ground.
"Announcing your attack is not good!" Mirio said blocking the attack with his arm.
"Having yourself open isn't either!"
Mirio used his Quirk to make his head intangible avoiding Dark Shadow's claw.
"We just have to find the chance to counter him!" Izuku finishing his mumbling, announced to everybody.
Mirion smirked. "Well let's see if you can find it!" he said going back to the ground disappearing from their sight once more.
"He's gone again!"
Izuku turned around and delivered a sharp kick behind him. Surprising Mirio, unfortunately it phased through him once more.
'Good one, he managed to predict my movements!'
"But" sending two fingers to Izuku "Not good enough, Blinding touch: Eye Po-Gah!" He felt a sharp pain on his ribs stopping his attack. Looking down it was Tomomi elbow on his ribs with a cold gaze on him.
'Your experience is good I'll give you that. But-' In a second he grabbed Mirio's jeans and threw him a meter away. Mirio shaking the pain off used his Quirk to pass through the huge boulder Tomomi made.
'You're still slow for my taste.'
"Everybody on your toes! And cover each other!" Tomomi shouted fire and lightning danced around him.
3 minutes later…
The battle was over…sort of. Everybody was beat and that's only because of one man! Tomomi and Shiro managed to defend everyone while also on the offensive, long story short Aizawa called of the fight because too much time was being wasted.
Mirio explained everything regarding the internship, saying they were no longer 'Guest' but more like sidekicks for Pro's. That was why the fight was necessary to see where they were standing in the first place. This was the next stage they were taking, and it isn't an easy one.
End of Class
It was now the end of class and everybody was back in the dorms. The majority of them were gathered at the living room chatting and having resting their feet after one exhausting day.
"Man I'm beat!"
"Yeah tell me about it."
Right now everybody was just lying around resting with their uniform still on.
Bakugou was on the background collecting trash so he can put them away. Iida was in the kitchen preparing dinner, the girls were on the couches, Kaminari and Kirishima was on the ground. The others were in their respective rooms.
"So, who are you going to be interning with?" asked Momo.
"Well, Nejire-senpai took notice of me and Tsuyu and said that she would introduce us to Ryukyu-sama for our internship." Ochaco replied with Tsuyu nodding her head in agreement.
"Well isn't that Tomomi's mother? Can't he just give a good word for the both of you so you can get in?" Asked Mina lying lazily.
"We don't want to seem like we're abusing that relationship ribbit. And I don't want to have Tomomi go through the trouble of asking his mother ribbit."
"Oh that's so sweet!"
"Thank you ribbit"
*Ding*
Tooru's phone dinged, opening her phone she let out a small giggle while typing.
"What are you doing?"
"Oh just chatting with a guy I met online."
"What! Why!?"
"Well you guys are all lovey-dovey I got jealous!" She said swinging her phone.
"Still, you don't have to go to a dating site to get a guy. There are a lot of boys in school."
"Yeah I know. I just want to do this ok?"
"Fine. But if he breaks your heart. We'll break his face!"
"Uh uh uh." Said someone from the stairs. Looking at the direction it was shown to be Tomomi "There will be no breaking faces here from any of you."
"What! But if he breaks her heart then-"
"If he breaks her heart. We will find him and have a decent, small and peaceful talk with him."
The girls nodded and so did the guys.
"I, advice to not get violent with these acts Tomomi!" Iida said with his hands swinging everywhere.
"Yeah, yeah. *sniff* hey is that burning I smell?"
"My pasta!"
"How the hell do you burn pasta!" Bakugou said smelling the slightly burnt food and thinking to blow something up because he has to clean that too now.
"Well like this I guess." Tomomi said going to the kitchen to assist Iida. Once there, there was a short pause "Ok, I can understand if you manage to burn pasta. But how did this happen?"
"I…miscalculated"
"Miscalculated my ass!" Bakugou yelled from the kitchen. "And what is that green stuff that's flowing out!"
"…"
"I think we should order Take out."
On that night it was decided to never let Iida cook pasta, or anything at all unsupervised.
Next Day-End of Classes
"HERE WE ARE!" Nejire shouted with glee as she took the three students to building, yes three. Ochaco, Tsuyu and Tomomi walked inside the building still in their school uniforms. Nejire walked ahead of them and talked to the woman on the desk.
"Hello Una-chan! Is Ryukyu-sama in her office? I have our new interns with me that I want to introduce.
"Ah yes of course. I'll notify her that you will be coming up."
5 minutes later and the three of them were outside of the door leading to Ryukyu's office. Nejire knocked and after hearing a 'come in' she stepped in along with the three students.
"Ah Nejire-chan, I see that you brought our interns that you told me about." Ryukyu's gaze went to Tomomi. "Ah, Tatsuma-san good to see you again."
"Good to see you as well Ryukyu-sama."
"Ok so assume that you are all here for the internship right?"
"Yes ma'am"
"Good, now the contract."
They all reached for their contract and set it on her table in front of her. She took her stamp and held it. "Now before I stamp this, you all have to remember something."
They tensed at this.
"Once I approve this and you will be interned here in my company, you will no longer be students but more likely to be Sidekicks, you will experience what it means to be a hero first hand. This is no longer the playground, this is real and dangerous."
She stood up and gave them a motherly smile. "I don't want any of you to get hurt, but if this is what you want then I will help you reach your goal."
"We understand that we will get hurt. But we will become heroes." Ochaco said letting out a determined aura.
"Yes ribbit. We know the consequences, but it's worth it in the end if we can save people by becoming proper heroes."
"Took the words right out of my mouth." Tomomi smirked. "I think we're way past the time that we're on the playground, we're going to be heroes."
There was a brief pause then Ryukyu smiled. "Well said."
And just like that they were interned in the company of Ryukyu.
"Now, there will patrols for each of you. Each and one of you will be patrolling a place for crimes and the likes. Nejire-chan here will give you a tour of the city tomorrow so you have a sense of direction."
"You can count on me!"
"Now that will be all and I hope to see you tomorrow."
Next day
"Let's start with the tour!" The students were clad in their hero costumes.
"Um, Nejire-chan?" Ochaco raised her hand.
"Yes?"
"Is patrolling all you do?"
"No, not really." She said twirling her hair "There are some moments where we are called to fight, to handle a situation and to contain a situation. Basically, patrolling is pretty much a peaceful time."
"Oh."
"Ok enough of that, on we go to the tour!"
They started to follow Nejire.
*Bump*
When suddenly Tomomi bumped into someone, he quickly apologized but he was silenced by the slight buzz he felt when their shoulders met.
He looked back at the person but couldn't see him because of the sea of people, he was about to activate his Earth Sonar but Nejire shout to him to hurry up. Looking back he couldn't see the person anymore.
'Long gone by now.'
He shook his head and followed Nejire once more. The feeling still lingers in his shoulder. 'Whatever that was, it was weird. I can't help but fell something off about the guy. And that buzz…'
He touched his shoulder. 'Why did it feel so…familiar?'
In an alley was a man in a jacket, his hair was black but there were some patches of grey here and there.
"Hmm, well Big brother. You sure have one heck of a son. Strong too."
He said this as his hands gave a soft vibrating sound with a hint of blue hue.
And that's a wrap!
I hope you guys enjoyed this and I hope you guys can still be patient with me. Well I want to focus on my studies but I also like doing this. Kinda like a stress reliever I guess.
Thank you guys for everything thank you for all the reviews. It's all appreciated.
And before I go! BIG ANNOUNCEMENT IN FUTURE CHAPTERS!
Not gonna tell what it is yet. Just want all of you guys to know that.
so with that I will take my leave.
