Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I am really happy and this inspired me to bring in the next chapter, and here the story picks up where the last chapter left, as Edward Elric and Katsuki Bakugo are going to duke it out where a brawl between two hotheads would determine who would come out on top as one of the hotheaded protagonists of their respective series…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 2: Hotto heddo no pea
As the robbers attempted to use their Quirks to get themselves out of their current predicament, the leader told them to do it discreetly so as not to alert anyone else, which his goons nodded in acknowledgement, knowing that they must escape the pro heroes no matter what as they are unwilling to go to jail.
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
By then, Bakugo arrived, but because he didn't see what happened just now, he assumed that Edward is a Quirk user and committed a crime, and there he uses his Quirk to knock Edward out, but the latter saw this and clapped his hands and activated his alchemy ability, conjuring a shield to deflect the explosive attack, surprising Bakugo.
But Bakugo smirked and said that what Edward did is quite impressive, but it won't do him good, saying that he is under arrest for ILLEGALLY using a Quirk, which Edward did not understand, due to the language barrier, and tells Bakugo to clarify it in English, and seeing that Edward is a foreigner, Bakugo responded in English, but unintentionally riled him when he called him a SHORTY.
"What did you say?!"
"You heard me!"
"…"
"Shorty! Short!"
"Who are you calling a SHORTY?!"
"You are, SHORTY!"
"That's It! I'm going to beat you up!"
"Bring it on, SHORTY!"
Veins popped on the side of his forehead when called a SHORTY, a pissed off Edward called Bakugo a BLONDIE ASSHOLE and punched him on the cheek, which triggered a chain reaction as Bakugo is now under the impression that Edward Elric is a villain, and thus he retaliated by using his Explosion Quirk, and Edward responded by clapping his hand and uses alchemy to produce a shield to deflect the blast.
Alphonse saw this and wondered if his elder brother is in danger, and bid his time to see if Edward needed help or not, and decided to observe first before jumping in, though Alphonse is beginning to worry after seeing Bakugo using his Quirk, which the Elric brothers are unaware of this fact and believe that Bakugo is an Alchemist using an explosion-type alchemy.
Moments later the battle moved to a different area, prompting Alphonse to follow them as Bakugo uses his Quirk to have Edward backing away, and the blond-haired teen alchemist finds himself in a bind as he began to recognize that Bakugo may be a stronger alchemist, unaware of the fact that in this world the power people use here are Quirks and not alchemy.
Bakugo then managed to find an opening while taunting Edward by calling him a shorty, but Edward managed to find a counter and uses his automail right hand to land a blow on Bakugo's nose, busting him open, and this pissed him off and said that Edward is going to pay big time, which the Fullmetal Alchemist said that he was only retaliating.
"You're going to pay for that, shorty!"
"You started this! I just paid you back!"
"Damn you!"
"Right back at you, SHAGGY!"
"Who are you calling SHAGGY?!"
"You are! Your hair is a mess, hence you're a SHAGGY-type…"
"You shorty-bastard! Die!"
"Uh-oh…"
By this time, Midoriya and Todoroki arrived, and are surprised to see Bakugo fighting a teenage foreigner, and there the two UA students asked what is going on, and after being told, Midoriya and Todoroki decided to assist him in restraining Edward after seeing him perform Alchemy by causing the ground to form a barrier, then conjure a shield out of nowhere, which Midoriya and Todoroki believe that Edward possesses multiple Quirks.
"Todoroki…did you see that…?"
"Yeah..."
"That guy may have multiple Quirks..."
"Can't be sure…"
"I'll try to find an opening…if we manage to find one, you…"
"I see…okay, I get the drift…"
"Good. I'm going ahead."
"Right."
Midoriya then rushes forward and uses Full Cowling, where green conduit-like energy envelope his right leg and did a spinning roundhouse kick, and shattered the shield that Edward conjure, prompting the Fullmetal Alchemist to use alchemy and conjure a thicker shield, and there Edward commented that Midoriya sure has a strong attack-type alchemy, which Midoriya blinked his eyes after hearing the comments in English.
As Todoroki is contemplating in assisting his classmates, he noticed Alphonse watching and noticed his armored appearance, and acting in a cautious way, he approached Alphonse and asked him if he is in league with Edward, and Alphonse stared at Todoroki as he couldn't understand him because of the language barrier, and told Todoroki in English that he doesn't understand what the latter is saying.
Todoroki then repeated his question in English, and this baffled Alphonse due to him and Edward not knowing about this world, and he honestly told Todoroki what really happened that led to Edward and Bakugo duking it out. Todoroki appeared to be doubtful on what Alphonse said, but seeing that Alphonse didn't do anything that causes a disturbance, he decided to give Alphonse a benefit of a doubt.
"Did you say…you're from a different world…?"
"Yes."
"Are you telling me the truth?"
"Yes."
"As in you're not from this country?"
"Yes. Honest. My brother and I are lost…then we got into an encounter with some robbery gang and that led to this."
"Really…?"
"Yes."
Suddenly the rival robbery gang broke free and now they are pissed, and there the leader told his men to grab Alphonse and use their Quirks to disable Todoroki before making their escape, which his goons nodded in acknowledgement, seemingly forgetting that Todoroki is the son of Endeavor.
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
The goons began using their Quirks, surprising Alphonse, and vocally wonder if everyone here are Alchemists, which Todoroki is baffled at hearing this, yet this made him believe that Alphonse is telling the truth about being foreigners here, but to his surprise, he saw Alphonse clapped his hands before touching the ground, causing a portion of the ground to move to conjure a barrier and deflect the attacks.
Todoroki was surprised to see this, but he nevertheless took advantage and uses his ice Quirk to restrain the goons before going after the leader, and once the robbers are fully restrained, he shifts to Alphonse, who came across a newspaper stand, and grabbed an English-edition of the newspaper, and there Alphonse appeared to be shocked as he glanced at the front page of the newspaper, as he read it, then glanced at Todoroki and asked him what is going on here, saying that almost everyone appear to possess alchemy.
Todoroki appeared to be baffled upon hearing Alphonse saying and repeating the term ALCHEMY, but he nevertheless corrected him by explaining that here almost 80% of the population possess powers called Quirk, and there Alphonse seemingly got the gist and glanced at the scene where Bakugo and Midoriya are fighting Edward, and there Alphonse tells Todoroki that everything appeared to be a misunderstanding and asked for his help in diffusing the situation before things might worsen.
"Can I ask for your help?"
"What is it?"
"We need to pacify them. Everything that happened is a misunderstanding."
"I see."
"Please help me."
"Alright. I'll help you. I too need to calm my classmates down."
"Thanks."
"Okay."
Nodding in agreement, both Todoroki and Alphonse went to the scene of the brawl where Midoriya and Bakugo are having a bit of difficulty in getting past Edward's defenses due to the latter's use of alchemy, and as Bakugo is getting more heated and is trying to push his way through, Midoriya slowly sensed that something is amiss as Edward wasn't doing anything villain-like, such as causing property damage or taking a hostage, and as he is pondering his next move, Todoroki came and told Midoriya and Bakugo to stop.
As the two boys asked what is the matter, Todoroki explained everything, and the three classmates saw Alphonse telling Edward, in English language, about what he discovered, and even showed him the English-edition of the newspaper, and Edward is in a state of disbelief at what he just found out coming from his younger brother.
"Huh? The year 2XXX?"
"Yes, brother. We've been thrust into the future!"
"No…no way…this can't be…"
"And from what that young man told me…the ones who display those powers…they're not alchemy!"
"What? Are you sure, Alphonse?"
"Yes. The people here are not alchemist! Almost everyone here possess a different power not based on alchemy."
"You can't be serious…!"
"I am, brother!"
Midoriya and Bakugo blinked their eyes as they were baffled at hearing the Elric brothers' constant mentioning of the word ALCHEMY, and Todoroki said that if Alphonse is telling the truth, then the Elric brothers are from a parallel world, something that Midoriya and Bakugo find it hard to believe, yet Todoroki said that the Elric brothers' unfamiliarity of this world and about Quirks attest to this.
"The one with the armor is not lying. He and the other boy appeared to be from another world. They have no idea about our world. That's why they are confused."
"Seriously?"
"Hold on! How can you be sure? Don't you think that they are…"
"You saw the shorter boy's reaction upon seeing the newspaper…getting bewildered about almost everyone having Quirks…he wasn't lying. His shocked reaction is genuine."
"I see…"
"Why do those two keep blabbering about alchemy and stuff…?"
"Perhaps in their world…assuming that they are telling the truth…the people there may have powers similar to Quirks…"
"Really?"
"For real…?"
Moments later Burnin' and the Endeavor sidekicks arrived, and after handing the robbers to the police, Todoroki told Burnin' about the situation, and she blinked her eyes in disbelief at hearing this, as she seemingly couldn't believe that two foreign visitors are from a parallel world, and asked Todoroki if he is serious about what he said, as she is still doubtful about what she is told.
"Are you serious, Shoto?"
"Yes."
"I find it hard to believe."
"I too doubted them…but based on what I saw a while ago…that might make sense."
"Really?"
"Yes. Really."
"How can you be sure?"
"…"
Todoroki then pointed his thumb towards Edward, and Burnin' noticed the Fullmetal Alchemist's attire, and then at Alphonse's armored appearance, which she then asked Alphonse to remove his helmet so she could see his actual face, and there Alphonse honestly told her his backstory, and when Burnin' insisted on seeing Alphonse's actual appearance, he reluctantly removed the helmet and knelt down.
Burnin' and the three UA students stared wide-eyed seeing that the armor is empty yet Alphonse's voice boomed and said that he lost his physical body and that his soul is inhabiting this suit of armor, which Burnin' was in a state of disbelief at what she just witnessed, with Bakugo couldn't believe it either, which Midoriya and Todoroki expressing the same reaction.
"Whoa! No way!"
"This is…"
"I can't believe what I'm seeing…"
"No freaking way am I going to…"
"Shoto…what the heck is going on…?"
"I too am at loss here…"
"Unless this is Quirk-related…"
"Could be…"
Todoroki then whispered to Burnin', saying that it would be better to have them in Endeavor's custody as he is worried that someone within the Hero Public Safety Commission might take advantage, with Midoriya agreeing, as someone is needed to calm the Elric brothers down and explain to them about this world.
"…and that I believe is our best course of action…"
"Todoroki is right, Burnin'. We should be the ones in charge in taking care of those two…"
"Oh…fine."
"We should inform Endeavor about this situation."
"He's right."
"Okay, okay…but Shoto…how can we convince them…?"
"I'll talk to them."
"Okay."
"Fine."
Burnin' reluctantly obliges as she lets Todoroki do the talking as he explain to the Elric brothers about their situation and seeing that they have nowhere else to go given that they are in a foreign world, Edward and Alphonse reluctantly accepted and went with the Endeavor sidekicks and head towards the Endeavor Hero Agency office.
