A tall brunette dressed in a grey tank top, back non-sleeve unzipped hoodie, blue trousers and brown shoes. Black string necklace and black sweatbands on each wrist. The teen was running franticly away from a giant robot. He comically screamed for his life as he ran away from this death trap. The robots had multiple arms in which he slammed one down and the brunette jumped to avoid it. He did this a couple more times as he ran down the forest trail.

"Why do I get the heavy load!" he shouted to himself. He looked over his shoulder to see the robot. "Alright, now I'm gonna show you why they call me; Kiyoshi Teppei the Iron Heart." He smirked. He gained a little more speed and drew further away from the robot. They came to a cliff, Kiyoshi jumped off, turned round and watched the robot follow him. Holding his left bicep his left fist was reached out towards the robot.

"Vice Claw!" he shouted as he stretched his fingers wide. His arm turned to iron and enlarged his hand when it stretched hastily towards the robot, clamped it within his grasp. Turned back round he threw the robot over his entire being and into the sea below. The robot splashed and shook the earth. Before it could get back onto its feet Kiyoshi slammed his fist down on it smashing it to pieces. "Yes." He said to himself and his hand shrunk to normal. He then suddenly realised that he was falling down to the water below. "Oh no." he said, turning and trying to fly but his body was still falling. He enlarged his iron hand and clasped the side of the cliff, sliding to a halt. He puffed out a breath of relief but then the wall he had grasped began to crumble. His grip was just too strong for it. "Oh come on." He said before he fell down and into the water. He popped out and sucked in a large amount of air. "Next time Akashi can do these missions himself." He complained.

"Kiyoshi!"

Kiyoshi looked to the white sand beach far from him. He could see a male figure waving at him. A black hair boy with glasses, dressed in a green short sleeved jumped, black trousers and shoes. Kiyoshi laughed to himself before he swam over to the shore. When he could reach the seabed ne began to struggle getting out of the water. When he could find his balance he ran over to him and hugged the other male tight in his grip.

"Kiyoshi, you're all wet." The male said.

"Hyuuga.' He complained before releasing his friend. "How have you been? How's Riko?" he asked, he knew Hyuuga doesn't like t talk about his girlfriend much but she had been in a carriage collision recently, luckily she had only broken her leg and that she wasn't severely hurt.

"She's fine. Riko is at her mother's recovering." He said rubbing the back of his head. "So how about you? What were you doing over there?" Hyuuga asked him.

"Ah, I was doing someone else's mission because he threw his toys out of the pram." Kiyoshi said as he had mental images of smashing the red head. "I just had to stop the robot. The energy crystal inside of it went haywire so 'I' was sent to terminate it." Kiyoshi answered him.

"I see, I take it you have to go back to Teiko now." Hyuuga said.

"I'm afraid so. I've gotta report back but I'll stop by another time and the three of us can hang out again just like old times." Kiyoshi said with smile.

"Definitely, Riko misses you since you went Teiko. It's kinda been hard you know. We see your parents every day, they're fine but they miss their son."

"I know, if I get the time off I would but it's not fair to get a holiday while others have to work."

"I thought it was an open campus?"

"Well, yeah but I'm not allowed to leave town without permission. It's just in case that a mission crops up and if you're out of town when they need you it looks kinda bad. Every day you have to go and see if you're needed. I can ask but because of my rank I have to set an example." Kiyoshi explained.

"I understand." Hyuuga sighed. "Well you better get going them." Hyuuga smiled.

"Yeah, if you see my parents again; tell them I'm doing just fine and should come to visit soon." Kiyoshi waved before rushing off.

Midorima entered the small flat he shares with Takao above a flower shop. Closing the door behind him he only had one room. The sofa can convert into a bed for the two for them. The first thing he noticed was that the bed was out and in use. A young child was currently asleep peacefully. This was Takao, a five year old child with the ability to see a wider field in his vision. Midorima took the child in when he was lost from his family. His family was murdered when he three and Midorima was sent on a mission. He found and brought the child back for treatment before living with the earth bound boy. He had walked over to the sleeping child and gently stroked his soft black locks. Takao had been feeling ill from a tummy bug and had been instructed to stay in bed until Midorima had returned. Well now he was back. Takao still looked pale. He remembered he had been gone for a few days and left Takao on his own. He knew that the florist would have kept an eye on him and made sure he ate. He gently shook Takao awake. The boy blinked before he rubbed his eyes.

"Shin-chan." He said in his small voice.

"How are you feeling?" he asked the small child.

"My tummy still hurts." Takao quietly whined.

"Ok." Midorima placed his hand on Takao's belly, a small green light shone over the child tummy. Takao felt a bit refreshed when he felt warmth covered his stomach. "We'll give that a go. How have you been since I left?" he asked pulling his hand away.

"Lonely." Takao then cried as he wrapped his small arms around the earth user's neck and cried. Midorima placed a hand on the back of the boy's head and the other lightly rubbing his back.

"It's ok. I'm back now, everything is going to be alright." Midorima said as he shushed the child and held him tight. "When you feel better, we'll go for a walk." he said as he felt the boy nodded into the base of his neck.

"I'll kill that hot headed son of a Jekyll!"

Kiyoshi was stood before Shirogane shouted at the top of his lungs before he slammed his hands down on the desk. "How dare he just dump his mission on me?! Where is he?!" he shouted.

"He is currently on a mission with Nijimura. Now please calm yourself. The task was at Seirin so he must have thought that since you live there you could see family and friends. You didn't have to rush back to me and report that could have waited until later." Shirogane pointed out.

Kiyoshi's face turned blue with realization. "Oh."

"I believe that that was his intention. Shame really, you don't see that side." The master smirked.

"Anyway." Kiyoshi stood straight with a serious look. "That energy crystal couldn't have gotten out of control like that. It's a well tamed item nowadays."

"Are you so sure?" Shirogane questioned.

"Why is that?" Kiyoshi asked him.

"It depends on its age. The one you have described seemed to have been quite old. Older crystals are more prone to malfunction quicker."

"That's bad. But then, that means the robot must been of a certain age. I mean it must've been around a bit for that to happen." Kiyoshi theorized.

"Could be. That robot was only reported by the person how had created it, so it was a fairly new object. Something went wrong but I don't care now. It's over and done with." The master said. "However, I want you to do me a favour."

"Oh, what's that Master?"

"I want you to take Kuroko with you outside the town and observe his skills more. I want him to improve his skill. Now being a C he must know the boundaries and be more active in battle. You can advise him along the way but he must be stronger. If he keeps this up, he could possible the next Akashi. Stable and fun. After all he is the exact opposite." Shirogane offered.

"If that is what you want, but….why me?" Kiyoshi was a bit dumbfound by this sudden request. He didn't know Kuroko, so why is it that now that Shirogane wants him to improve?

"Nijimura is to stuck up for his own good and Akashi has already observed him. You are the only I can think of who would willing give up their time to help others."

'Willingly?' Kiyoshi thought. "As you wish." Kiyoshi shrugged.

"Good, get going my child." The master smiled.

Kiyoshi had led both him and the teal head deep into the woods nearby that had loads of clearings. He had to teach Kuroko facts and improvements. Kiyoshi wasn't sure why but it may have had something to do with Kuroko's Diamond Dust, sure it was a low power ability so far but he can also make it stronger. From what he had seen from his mission, he was impressed by the ways he can utilize it. He was quick to summon his magic when needed. Now that he had the time he could focus on Kuroko's mental status as well. He stopped in the middle of a large clearing before he turned to the smaller male and smiled.

"Ok show me your skill."

"What?" Kuroko was confused. He was brought to the middle of nowhere and now he was just told to show off his skill. "I'm sorry who are you?" Kuroko asked.

Kiyoshi felt disappointed. "Come now, it's just some harmless fun."

"I really don't think I should be showing a stranger my talent."

Kiyoshi then turned serious. "Stranger? Why did you follow me then? I've been instructed by the Master to improve your skills. I'm surprised that you speak to A's like this. The other two wouldn't let you get away with it." He watched as Kuroko's face turned to shock by what he had said. "I thought so. The names Kiyoshi Teppei. I'm the Iron Heart. You're Kuroko Testuya, a newbie with a talent for Ice. Not to worry we can fix that." He then smiled. "So show me what you can do." He said.

"To be honest, Diamond Dust is the only full skill know." Kuroko rubbed the back of his head.

"That's what I'm here for. I'm gonna teach you the boundaries and facts of you power so you can perform better each time." Kiyoshi smiled again. "Let's get going." He clapped.

Standing on the end of a cliff looking out. Touou, a rough town with the Inter High School based in the middle of it. From what was going on was a lot of fights within the town. It looked as though the students were fighting each other and causing havoc around. Thunder was raging in the skies. However, what caught their attention was that of a large body of a well crystal machined body began to lift up above the town. Something dangerous was going on. Both Akashi and Nijimura watched with tension for what they had planned with it. It wasn't long before the robot began to run away from the town.

Midorima walked through the town holding small Takao's hand. The young boy was dressed in orange shorts, black jumper, white socks and black and white trainers. He was happy that he and Midorima were spending the day together. It was as if Midorima had not away for a while. Takao had wanted to get some fresh air to help feel better. He held the older boy's hand tightly as he walked. Midorima had stopped by a herbal market to pick up some more herbs for positons and for learning spells. He knew he was close to being a B but he couldn't go much further because he had to take care of Takao. He wouldn't say that Takao held him back or that he didn't like him. For a young child Takao needed the love and attention from an older person who can provide. With his pay from his recent mission with Kise he was able to take of the child. Midorima was only assigned to a 'one-day' mission so he could be with Takao and have good pay. Midorima mainly preferred the nightly assignments so he didn't have to worry because Takao was asleep. Anyway Takao had spotted a toy market nearby and wanted to go to have a look. Midorima was pulled roughly towards the market.

"Oi, slow down or I'll fall on you." He said as he tried to keep up with the small boy.

When they got there Midorima picked Takao up and held him close to his side so the child was sat on his arm so he could see the toys. Takao leaned away slightly to look back and forth at the many different types of toys.

"Hey, Midorimacchi!" a happy voice from afar caught the green heads attention. He looked over to see the blonde walking up to them. "Ah and little Takaocchi too." Kise said as he lightly ruffled the child's hair.

"Kise, what do you want?" Midorima asked him.

"I was on my way out for a solo mission but I was hoping to run into Aominecchi." Kise sighed as he stood on one leg and looked away from them.

"Isn't he lazing around the house?" Midorima raised a brow.

"Nah, he wasn't home. He might be out himself actually, come to think of I haven't Kurokocchi either." Kise tapped his chin.

"None of that is relevant to me." Midorima said looking back to the child. "Have you found anything?" he asked politely. Takao nodded and pointed to a stuffed hawk. "That one." He confirmed before taking the money out of his back pocket and handed it to the marketman. He picked up the stuffed toy and gave it to the small child. Takao smiled as he held it tightly in his arms.

"You certainly have a way with kids, Midorimacchi." Kise smiled as he watched the taller man walk away with a happy child. "You change when you're around him." He said. "Well, I better get going." Kise then made his way to find a carriage that took him to his destination.

"You suck."

That was all Kiyoshi had to say. Kuroko looked at him with disbelief. He had tried all his methods, making objects out of ice, attacking with shard of ice and blocking Kiyoshi with his ice. He had done everything that he could and he was now tired. His was sweating slightly and his body was aching after performing so many different techniques. Right now after hearing that he felt embarrass. The looked to the brunette who was sitting a rock not far from him. Kiyoshi was sat with his legs crossed and a hand supporting his head. He had the look of disapproval.

"I'm sorry but….how in the world did you defeat that monster?" he questioned.

"What do you mean? I did like I always do. I attacked." Kuroko responded.

"I don't think solo missions are for you. Alright, show your Diamond Dust. I wanna see how powerful it really is." Kiyoshi smiled.

"What?! I could kill you." Kuroko said in shock.

"No you won't. Aim for my hand." Kiyoshi said as he slid off the rock and walked passed Kuroko.

"Seriously." He watched Kiyoshi stand far from him and enlarged his hand now made iron. "That's awesome." Kuroko said to himself when he saw the massive iron hand. He then shrugged his shoulders. "If you insist." Kuroko moved back. Before he jumped into the air and performed the technique. However when the attack happen Kiyoshi only felt a freeze. When Kuroko came back down he huffed.

"What was that? How did you kill the beast with that?"

"What's the issue now?" Kuroko asked with a hint of anger.

"It's not powerful enough to do me any damage. Just because I'm made of iron doesn't mean that you can fully attack me with that. Look, you don't glow. If you don't glow then you're not powerful. I…" he then sighed. "Look, I think you can go the distance but I'm not cut out to teach you. I can't really teach you because I know nothing. You're a different situation. The person that can teach you isn't here but I know you'll do fine." Kiyoshi walked over to the now disappointed teen and place his hand on his shoulder. "I'm sure the person you're seeking will help you in tough situations." He said before walking back completely. Kuroko sighed, he felt disappointed in himself for failing one of the most powerful people before him. From what he could tell was that Kiyoshi was say 'it's no use' but then why did he become a C if his power's ere not up to standards? The main questions is when will he get stronger? As he let a small tear fall down his face.

Light vanquished the evil as he killed the beasts lurking around the village in the clearing of the woods. The shadows were vanquish and everything deadly was stopped in its paths. He took the time look back on his work before smiling that he was proud of it. As fast as light he killed off more that threatened him. As he carried on his attacks he never noticed the large robot behind him.

"Daiki!" she shouted at Aomine as he lounged about the sofa watching TV. She had entered the house to see him there. She was not pleased. "Have you been out at all?!" she shouted.

"Huh? Of course. I've been walking round the markets. There's no job for me." Aomine said lazily.

"Well then what happened to Testuya?" she asked.

"Kiyoshi took him out somewhere." He flicked through the TV.

"What about Kise? Where's he?"

"Possible out on a mission, I don't know. I haven't seen him all day." He said. Momoi sighed before she joined the tanned male on the sofa, her head was down.

"Seeing the master, it felt a little strange. He was on edge today. As if something was very wrong. I noticed that the other two A's weren't in the town." She said.

"A missions are extremely hard, it's like signing a death wish." Aomine replied.

"No!" she looked to him. "I looked up his data and status, something very bad is going to happen." She said.

Momoi can see people's status and data on their physical and mental health and power. But using that data she can then for a plan of attack around that. So by seeing the master's status she just knew something was wrong. She couldn't shake of this uneasy feeling. She looked away from Aomine and clutched her chest. "I can't help but feel it." She said.

"Don't think about. It'll happen when it happens. He's got Nijimura and Akashi on it, what more does he need?" he questioned here.

Momoi looked to him before she smiled and dropped her hand. "You're right, with those two nothing can happen." She said looking towards the TV. "I wonder where Kise is?" she asked.

Eiji Shirogane sat in his office leaning back in his chair. He was on edge and he knew that Momoi knew it. This request was a bizarre and unexpected. Never did he think that war was on his hands. When he receive the request, shock and fear where the main emotions that filled his heart and soul. When he heard it he sent out Akashi and Nijimura instantly to check out the situation. Never would he thought that Inter High would pick a fight with Winter High. The only thing they see it as is that their members are better and power fuller than them. True he had never gotten on with their master but even still, there was no real reason for a fight. Well it was their master; Katsunori Harasawa, that had informed him of his students plan. Though he didn't know who the ring leader was. He had not long after received word from Kiyoshi about Kuroko. He was disappointed that the brunette couldn't teach the teal head anything. But he still took into account that he needed someone else from train him and he could see where he was coming from. Unfortunately, now was not the time. Kuroko would just have to learn in time. That didn't stop his anxiety though. His heart was increasing with every worry. Something was going to go wrong and he knew his children would pay for it. He just couldn't put then through that.

Never did he think that Touou would build a large robot and attack everything and taking down Winter High with it.

The earth shook and the thuds were loud. The people of Teiko stopped and wondered what was happening. Midorima had just tucked Takao in from after taking his medicine when he heard it. He stood up from the child and walked over to the window, his eyes widened in shock. Aomine and Momoi had rushed out of the house to looking up at what had now cast a shadow over the town. Fear took them. Kuroko looked out of his balcony from the school. He gasped in shock. Murasakibara had just brought some sweets when he looked up. What had stood above them was a large robot. A big circular sphere for a torso, two arms on each side and pair of legs. It had a small rectangular head with a bug red circle in it. Midorima knew that Takao couldn't stay here. He walked back over to the dosed child. The medicine always made Takao sleepy and drowsy. He picked put the small child in his arms and looked out of the window again.

"What is that?" Aomine asked as he looked up.

The robot then began to advance forwards, taking out the gate with a step. The townspeople sure panicked quickly, they all rushed round as the robot moved closer and closer towards the school.

"It's headed for the school!" Aomine rushed over the minute he knew with Momoi behind him trying to keep up. They just had to evacuate the others from there. They just had to get the master out.

Shirogane too looked out of his office window only to understand what was going on. He then bolted out of his office and to the banisters, below where the members laughing and drink.

"Everybody out!" he caught their attention. "We're under attack! Evacuate!" he shouted as he rushed down. His children soon fled when he came rushing. Outside the robot was now in front of the school. It them swung its arms around hitting and decapitating the buildings around. Midorima had jumped from the attack with Takao in his arms. He turned in mid-air and threw his hand out. The falling debris had stopped from their fall as the people below rushed out of way. Midorima hastily threw his hand to the side, as he held the small boy tighter, and the debris flew into a nearby building. He then landed beside the master.

"Midorima." The master said as the male stood.

Midorima sighed as he stood before he checked Takao over. The boy was now sleeping soundly by the medicine.

"Is he alright?" Shirogane edged closer and placed his hand on Takao's small shoulder.

"He was supposed to be sleeping." Midorima had replied.

"As long as he's ok." the master then looked to the now still robot. "Right now we have bigger issues to deal with." He said.

"What is going on?" Midorima asked the master.

"We're being attacked by Touou." Was his only reply.

"It was expected." Midorima said.

"Hello, Winter High. You seem to be well. From what you can see I take it that you have gathered the result. You may be in the second biggest town but that does not mean you're the best."

Aomine, Momoi and Murasakibara had finally reached the others and the master. They were just glad that he was safe.

"Master!" Aomine shouted.

"Aomine." He said back.

"Oh thank god you're safe." Momoi said as she caught up.

"I propose a match to see which one of us is the best school. Winter High vs. Inter High. I doubt you'll last. Our members are clearly the best by far. We will obliterate you."

"What makes you think we have built these schools to see which one of us is the best?! We all do the same thing!" Shirogane shouted to them. "Why take us out?! What have we done to deserve this?!"

"We by far have the best, without you we can have the better jobs, better pay and high respects to our names."

"So what they want is; attention." Midorima said. "Attention to be noticed and have respect."

"How? When they live in a rough town? No one here will come to them." Aomine said.

"No, they want to be number one. True they were here before us." The master answered.

"So we took their spot?" Momoi said.

"Of course, they've never liked us since the day that we had more missions." Shirogane then looked to Kuroko who was walking up to them. "And new members." He looked back to the robot. "We have no quarrel with you! Please return to your town before we personally escort you!" he warned. The voice laughed.

"Tell me, I understand that you consider your students as family – 'Children' – but what would you do if one of them was harmed or killed?"

"Don't be ridiculous, you know the answer! I will obliterate you to avenge my children!"

"You've failed."

"I don't understand?!"

A sudden scream came through as if in pain. Aomine's heart almost stop and Shirogane was just still with shock. That voice was very clear to them.

"KISE!" Aomine roared.

To hear the blonde's sicken scream was just heart breaking. He was in pain and in danger. Shirogane couldn't think, his mind was blank. One of his child was harmed and is currently in harm's way. He couldn't let this happen. He will fight for his child. Aomine however was ready to battle. He couldn't contain his anger anymore. He jumped up into the air, ignoring Momoi shouted for him, high above before spinning down with two water trails from his outstretched foot and hastily coming down. He landed with a heavy thud and enough shockwave to knock the robot down. Amine landed beside the master.

"Oi, Master we've gotta fight back. It's the only way to save Kise." He could see the anger now building up in in his eyes. "I know, I'm pissed too but I can't leave Kise there. I'm gonna bring him back safely." Aomine said.

"Do what you must." Shirogane gritted his teethed.

Aomine shot water through the robots body that lifted it into the air as Murasakibara threw a load of wind at it. Momoi quickly looked at its data for a weakness. All of them attacked as best they could. Kuroko spun making a bow and arrow out of ice and shot it. Both Aomine and Murasakibara attacked from the air. Midorima used his free hand to command the earth to hold the feet of the robot down while they attacked. The robot got its own back. It used its arms to knock Aomine and Murasakibara out of the skies and into the buildings. Slamming them down into the floor and knock all of them down. Midorima tried his best to shield Takao from harm.

Aomine grunted as the robot then proceeded to bend over the whole school. Feet and all hands on the floor as if it was shielding the school from attacks from above. He tried to move from the buildings structure but his body was telling him to stop for a moment. All he could think about was Kise. He won't let him down. He promised he would protect the teen, well now he was going to rescue him. If he could just get inside.

Where did Kiyoshi go?

He must be helping the citizens or something.

Where the hell were the A's?

Where they on a mission at a time like this?

Nijimura

Akashi

Kiyoshi

The time is now!

"Kise, Hold on. I'm coming."

Aomine's eyes glowed with anger.

Phew, that took a long time...

Anyway please review! Thanx to those that had reviewed. one of the reviews that mentioned about Kuroko being used, that was a great idea. I have an idea planned for that but different from what was suggested...besides Kuroko's power is at the 'showing off' stage yet.

I'm currently updating my other stories to stay tuned for more...
