Hello everyone, we're back with the next chapter here.
A minor canon change I'm making for this fanfic. Sheele is 16 in this fic.
I do not own Akame ga Kill or My Hero Academia
Chapter 4, Kill The Newbies
OST Skyreach:
Izuku patiently, and unnervingly awaited Najenda's coming questions. He'd have to think up a new cover story fitting with the information he'd already given out. Though this time Najenda would be asking them about the "Teigu" she believed they wielded.
Katsuki Bakugou was visibly tense, and agitated.
'Don't fuck this up and make us look like a couple of idiots Deku' He thought. 'You already made me hate that pink fucker even more than you'
Najenda put down her cigar and lighter. "You're hiding something from us, aren't you?" Izuku felt his heart implode with dread. Yet he couldn't he surprised. He hadn't done the best job to keep up his lie, and Bakugou's outburst earlier didn't help either.
"What do you mean?" Izuku asked, trying to look and sound as sincere as possible.
"I didn't get to hear that whole other story you were going to tell before your friend interrupted you, and my subordinates stepped out of line."
"And? What about it, what could we possibly have to hide huh?" Bakugou asked, angrily.
"I can see it in Midoriya's eyes. I know how to spot a cover story when I see one. So I want you to tell me the truth, I assure you it will just be between the three of us for the time being." Najenda said. The woman wanted to establish some trust, and honesty between Night Raid, and these two powerfull young men.
"Uhhh well…. Umm" Izuku's brain started to meltdown in panic.
'Damn it! She was onto us the whole entire time! What do I do, do I tell her the truth? What if she thinks we're crazy and have us locked up or even killed or w-'
"Just spit it out Deku!" Katsuki had enough, there was no point in hiding it any longer. "No point in hiding it anymore"
"Uhhhmmm, alright." A couple of minutes passed as Izuku told Najenda the full story of how they ended up in this world, the nature of their powers, and some basic information about the world they came from. Najenda gave him her full attention as he explained.
"I see…. I believe you" Najenda said.
"Huh!?" Izuku and Katsuki exclaimed in surprise. From her perspective, his story must've been insane.
"It adds up. I suspected that your abilities were never Teigu to begin with. Both of you have seem to have a strong sense of justice, and refer to yourselves as heroes…..A term that I haven't heard in years. That, and your outfits are completely alien in comparison to what the people of this world wear." Izuku thought about it, such a conclusion wouldn't be that hard to come to. Najenda struct him as a very analytical and logical thinker.
"Uhmmm, okay but how did you know?" Izuku asked.
"I'll explain the ironclad rule about Teigu in a moment. But while treating your broken pinky finger, Akame found this on you." Najenda pulled out Izuku's cellphone. Shocked, he instantly patted himself down.
"It was gone the whole time?"
"I didn't want to incite confusion, and distrust of you in my subordinates by discussing your true origins minutes before. They can know when the time is right." Najenda gently tossed the phone to Izuku, who caught it, shoving it back into the pocket of his costume.
"I won't ask what that is, out of respect. But its odd appearance was telling enough" Najenda said.
"I...see" Izuku muttered.
"Now, in the meantime, we need to create a false background for you two to mask your true identities for the time being."
"Alright, what about us being heroes from a distant country like I said earlier?" Izuku regretted his outburst from earlier, this would complicate putting together a new false background.
"Yes, we can work with that." Najenda paused for several seconds, thinking of the best and most convincing background for the heroes in training. "Your names are Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugou. You were originally training to be part of an elite peacekeeper unit in your distant homeland called The Redac Kingdom. Your abilities are owed to drinking a specialized Elixir that has allowed your bodies to manifest powers independent of a Teigu. But you decided to leave for The Empire after being expelled for…. Fighting." Najenda said, glancing at Katsuki upon finishing her sentence. "How is this?"
"Pff, why are you looking at me?" Katsuki grumbled.
"I decided to use your temperament to further cement your reason for coming here." Izuku sighed a breath of relief.
"Okay, I think it works." Izuku approved. Najenda smiled slightly, nodding.
"Good, now about these… Quirks you've told me about. What are yours exactly?"
Katsuki was excited to explain his own power. " Heh, my Quirk is explosion." He said, excitedly generating microexplosions in his palm. "I secret Nitroglycerin-like sweat from my palms that I can ignite at will to create explosions. That's why I'm the real deal back home. That little Pinky scum with the stupid gun and pigtails will be eating her words when I'm the next Number One Hero!" Katsuki went off topic, his ego getting the better of him.
"Yes, I see" Najenda brushed off the Blonde's rude remarks. "Now about you Midoriya?" Katsuki looked directly at Izuku, always eager to learn more about his rival's miracle Quirk. In the UA records, Izuku's quirk is called "Super Power" to protect the secret of One For All.
"My quirk is just called Super Power. It allows me to enhance my strength and speed. But I can't use the full extend of its power just yet."
"A simple yet peerless power, that explains why your pinky was broken." Bakugou growled upon hearing Najenda call his rival's Quirk "peerless". Izuku hadn't paid attention to his pinky until now. He glanced at it, seeing that the appendage was wrapped in small bandages, but it didn't hurt, and moved just fine.
"How did you guys treat it so quickly?"
"As you know, we go on a variety of dangerous missions, and we often have multiple of such missions back to back. So the Revolutionary Army supplies us with drugs that massively hasten the body's natural healing processes. But unless the injuries are truly debilitating, or severe we let the body heal at it's natural pace. That medicine is expensive after all." Najenda explained. Izuku looked at his fist, clenching it.
'I can't be breaking myself anymore. Recovery Girl isn't here to help me, and these people can only help me out so much"
"Akame also told me that those scars on your arms are reminiscent of bone fragments piercing, and lacerating the skin. So I don't want you to be using any more power than you are able to handle, understand?" Najenda ordered. Izuku responded with a brisk nod.
"Now, I'm going to further elaborate on my offer to you two."
"We're listening."
"Hmph…."
"You both want to get home…There is a Teigu capable of creating portals, and breaches in time and space." Izuku's eyes widened. Something like that actually existed in this broken, and backwards world?
"But I'm guessing there's a catch?" Izuku asked. Najenda nodded.
"It is currently in The Minister's personal collection according to our most recent Intel. It would be Impossible for you two to get in there alone and get it. The Imperial Palace has some of the finest security in The Empire." Najenda took a breath. "So I'm not asking you to become a full member of Night Raid. But your abilities would be put to waste if you were to work in our workshop all the time."
"Wait, you still haven't really explained what is going on in this world, the Revolutionary Army, and this Minister. Who are they?"
"I don't care who lives in that shithole, I'll go in there and take it myself."
"I was going to get to that, please have patience, and Katsuki, this isn't something you should take so lightly." Najenda said, sounding irritated. "Now…"
"I would like for you two to become Auxiliaries."
"What does that mean?"
"You won't be official members of Night Raid, nor will you be referred to as such, nor will you be listed in the records as being a part of Night Raid. What you will do is occasionally assist on missions as escorts in case one of our official members get injured, or in a jam. Additionally, you will take on missions that wouldn't involve assassination. Such as reconnaissance, Teigu retrieval, and rescue. How you deal with hostiles on such missions is up to you."
"And in return?" Katsuki asked.
"In return, the Space warping Teigu I mentioned will be yours once the Empire has been brought down, and my subordinates will assist you in acquiring it. You will also have our hideout as a place to stay and rest in the meantime. I'm sure you wouldn't want to end up living out in the wilds or the streets, right?" Izuku found the offer more appealing than ever, yet still found himself conflicted.
"Your offer is really tempting Najenda. But I still don't see what Night Raid and this…. Revolution are trying to accomplish. For all I know, you could be running an elite criminal strike-team." Izuku countered, still having doubts.
"For the past decade, The Empire has fallen into corruption and cruelty. With those higher up in society treating the commoners as their playthings. Tatsumi told you about his village didn't he? They're starving as a result of heavy taxation." Najenda began.
"That's right… when me and Kacchan were wandering the streets for some time, I didn't see a single person with a smile on their face….They seemed…afraid?"
"Yeah, it's like everyone in The Capital had a stick up their asses or something."
"Indeed, the deeply rooted corruption can be traced back to The Minister. He's been manipulating the Emperor, who is a child, into implementing the various cruel policies that are plaguing the nation."
"The Emperor is a child… and is being manipulated!?"
"Mmmhmm" Najenda nodded. " But there is more, anyone who dares to question the actions of the manipulated Emperor, or discovers that the Minister is the puppet master ends up going missing shortly after. As for how this tyranny is enforced…. Well the Empire has a multitude of powerful Teigu wielders at their disposal."
"Hold on there robo lady, you still haven't told us what Teigu even are" Katsuki said. Najenda nodded, sighing. She'd expected to need to explain it.
"They are objects of extremely high power created a thousand years ago by the first Emperor to protect the Empire from falling. 48 in total were created, with over half being lost in a civil war half a millennium ago. Each Teigu user is said to have the strength of a thousand men." Najenda took in a breath, she's been doing much explaining.
"As for how I knew what you had weren't Teigu, there's been an ironclad rule that has stuck ever since the Teigu were created. Because these relics are so powerfull, when two Teigu users clash, one is almost always guaranteed to die. However, mutual death is also a possibility. The fact that you both fought my subordinates, and both parties lived was more than enough proof.
"Woah…." Izuku muttered. Teigu were indeed a force to be reckoned with. He found his mind flooded with tons more questions that needed answers.
"Seriously? This place has been crappy for a thousand years?" Bakugou inquired. Najenda shook her head.
"Not always, but as I said, it has been getting progressively worse over the past decade." Izuku put the pieces together in his head. The world he and Kacchan were now in reminded him of the story All Might told him, about All For One's time as a criminal overlord in the distant past. Until the hero society was established, people always lived in fear, unable to smile, or escape from the tyranny they found themselves in. This world was in a similar, yet far worse predicament.
As All Might's successor, it was his responsibility to give the world hope, and make everyone smile. Night Raid's methods were far from just. But would it really be just to turn his back on the problems of this world?
"I know you both would want to make change in this world, as you've told me you strive to make change in your own." Najenda extended her prosthetic hand. "Will you join this Revolution and help bring down this cruel Empire? Izuku and Katsuki?"
Izuku and Katsuki stood there, deep in thought. At this point, they had three options. First, they could attempt to escape from Night Raid, and end up being alone, and without any help or shelter in the wild. While being hunted by Night Raid as well. Second, they can refuse Najenda's offer, and be reduced to laborers in their workshop, and eventually be forced to resort to option one. Or third, they can accept Najenda's offer to become Auxiliaries of Night Raid, help bring peace to the world they now resided in, and eventually get back home.
There was no doubt in their minds anymore.
'There's no other option, if I ever want to see mom, my friends, All Might, or even become the next Symbol of Peace…. I need this'
'I don't have a damn choice. I gotta join up with these losers if I'm ever gonna be Number One' Katsuki thought.
"Yes! I accept your offer Najenda!" Izuku declared.
"I guess I'll help you nerds…" Katsuki groaned. Najenda let out a satisfied chuckle.
"I'm glad we could come to an understanding. Welcome to the Revolution!" Najenda declared. As they finished their conversation, they could hear footsteps echoing through the halls of the hideout. Night Raid had returned. Tatsumi was panting heavily, worn out. It had only been 10 minutes since he'd left to help deal with the intruders.
Akame then gave Najenda a quick rundown of his performance.
"Nice work on your first battle Tatsumi." Najenda complemented.
"Yeah…" Tatsumi answered nervously. He knew that he nearly got himself killed out there.
"But after hearing Akame's report, you've clearly got much to learn." Najenda turned her attention to Izuku and Katsuki, who patiently awaited what would happen next. "Also based on what Lubbock told me about you two, you also have much to learn."
"Hold up boss, what you we decide to do with them?" Mine asked.
"Ah yes. They're going to be our new Auxiliaries."
"Auxiliaries you say? We haven't had any in ages" Lubbock said.
"I still can't push what happened to the last ones we had out of my mind." Sheele added.
"Really Sheele? I thought you would have forgotten about them instantly" Leone teased, earning an embarrassed flush from Sheele's face.
"Wait wait, what did happen to them!?" Izuku cried out, worried whatever happened to those before him could happen to him as well.
"Oh…." Sheele placed a finger on her chin, trying to recall. " I forgot…" She replied, slightly ashamed.
"What does an Auxiliary even do?" Tatsumi asked.
"They do some of the more obscure missions we're not known for. In the past, the position was given to members like these two who didn't want to kill. But were too valuable to let rot in our factory."
"Ah I get it, fitting for the annoying blonde over there." Mine huffed.
"Shut your stupid mug Pinky!"
"Stop!" Najenda spoke with authority. The room suddenly got quiet.
"Now, back to business. Tatsumi, you'll be learning from Akame"
"W-what!?" Tatsumi cried out in surprise. He stuck a finger in her direction. "Her?" Najenda nodded.
"Akame, you can cut all three of them down if they cause any problems." Akame shot Bakugou a quick glare before returning her gaze to Najenda.
"Got it"
"What!? What're you looking at me for!?" Katsuki shouted.
"J-just like that?" Izuku and Tatsumi cowered a little. Najenda chuckled.
"Don't worry, be on your best behavior, and give it your all during training and there won't be a problem. Isn't that right Katsuki?"
"Grrrrrhhgghhh" He growled in acknowledgement.
"Yeah, I'll do my best!" Tatsumi exclaimed, clenching his fist in an uppercut position.
"Me too…" Izuku added.
"Good, now Midoriya. You will be training with Sheele." Izuku glanced over at the Purple haired girl. She gave him a coy look.
"O-ohh uhhh hi" Izuku stammered out a greeting, a blush forming on his face.
"As for Bakugou…." Najenda sighed. " You will be with Mine."
"Gasp" The entire room gasped. Izuku could feel the air around his friend intensify. Both Mine and Katsuki emitting a silent, cold rage. Najenda broke the uncomfortable silence.
"I get you two don't exactly get along. But you will need to work out your differences if you are to assist us an an Auxiliary."
Mine and Katsuki both gritted their teeth for a few seconds. In an instant, the room was filled with the two screaming insults at each other, butting heads, and tossing around threats like candy. Najenda facepalmed with her metal hand, sighing. Mine really had her work cut out for her.
'This will be hard for us all' Izuku thought.
"Boss! Why was this loser ever brought to the hideout?!" Mine shouted. Najenda could only shrug. She wasn't the one who brought the boy in, it was Leone's judgment that was a fault.
"Yeah… it's not like we needed another Mine in the hideout."
"What did you say!" Both Mine and Katsuki shouted at Lubbock, who raised his hands in defense.
"Woah woah, I'm kidding." He chuckled nervously.
"Leone" Najenda gave her a stern look.
"Uhhh heh heh yes Boss?" Leone replied, sweating bullets.
"In my office, now"
Later
Izuku walked to the room he'd been assigned.. It had been about 20 minutes since he'd become an Auxiliary of Night Raid alongside Bakugou. Now, he just wanted to have some time to think. He was about to insert the key to his room when he heard an all to familiar yell.
"Deku!" Izuku, startled turned to see Bakugou charging down the hall, ready to pounce.
"K-Kacchan!?"
"Deku you better tell me how the hell we're gonna get that space warping thing or you're dead!"
"Kacchan! Be quiet, please" Izuku pleaded. Katsuki, much to Izuku's surprise slowed down, panting.
"How…. the hell are we gonna get it? If the guys back home find out we had to associate with these guys…."
"I-I'm sure it will be fine. Najenda gave us a position where we don't have to do things their way. W-weren't you listening?"
"But still… these guys… they're a problem. I don't like that pink bitch. But that chick with the red eyes gives me the creeps." Katsuki said in an unusually calm tone.
"Y-yeah… I know. She was glaring at you like she wanted to kill you."
"Well no shit Deku." Katsuki raised his voice. "At least she's that farmer boy's problem now."
"Alright… well she didn't tell us anything other than it's in that Minister guy's personal collection."
"Pfft, the fact that she didn't give us any more than that it exists and is somewhere sounds really fishy to me"
"But Kacchan, what're we supposed to do? We can't leave, no we shouldn't leave. Because these-"
"I know that damn you!" Before they could continue their conversation, Mine and Sheele came into view.
"Hey! Blonde, come we've gotta get started on your training." Katsuki didn't respond, only releasing a low defiant growl.
'Stupid bitch, I gotta do this if we're ever gonna see if that space warping thing even exists' Katsuki thought. He turned away from Izuku, walking towards Mine in an aggressive manner.
"What are we doing huh?"
"Oh, we will be going into the Capital for a bit."
"What!? For what? How is that going to make me any stronger than I am now?"
"Hmph, don't question me rookie, as your superior I-"
Izuku sweatdropped seeing Bakugou and Mine erupt into yet another shouting match. Sheele walked towards Izuku, tuning out the shouting match.
"Ohh uhmm hi" Izuku stuttered, his cheeks reddening slightly.
"Hello Midoriya, are you ready to train with me?" Sheele asked, in a friendly manner.
'An Airhead is going to train me?' Izuku thought, resisting the urge to laugh. ' But I guess I should see if she knows what she's doing'
"Sure" He replied. Sheele smiled.
"Alright then, follow me. I put together a curriculum to train you as an Auxiliary, and uhh… oh I forgot that last part"
'This will be hard for us both' Izuku thought.
"Oh, while also taking your morals into consideration" Sheele managed to remember her sentence.
"Oh… so what will we be doing?" Izuku asked.
"The Boss told me about your ability, you come from a place where you get powers from drinking a magical elixir right?" Izuku nodded, remembering the temporary cover-story for their background.
"Yeah…" Izuku looked at his bandaged pinky. " The thing is I can't use above… 5% of my power without hurting myself." Sheele slowed down a little, turning her head a little in surprise.
"Really? Hmm" She put a finger on her chin.
'Seems this guy will need a bit more work than we thought' Sheele thought.
"No worries, we will be starting with some physical ability tests for today."
"Okay… hey Sheele, what happened to the last Auxiliaries?" Izuku asked, wondering about what the purple haired girl said earlier.
"...they died on a mission to retrieve a Teigu." Sheele responded, unsure if she should tell the whole story to Izuku just yet. Sheele felt ashamed, she'd forgotten much of it anyways.
"And what else?"
"Lets just say they had a similar morality as you." Sheele rubbed the side of hear head, struggling to remember.
"Okay… but that doesn't really answer my question." Izuku wanted to know how, and why they died. Mainly to prevent him and Katsuki from suffering whatever fate they did.
"I forgot...I'm sorry."
"Oh… well tell me when you remember then." Izuku said. Sheele nodded.
Izuku followed Sheele out to the training yard, where there were already targets, dummies, and large boulders strewn around the area. Sheele stretched, yawning.
"Is this it?"
"Yes, the Boss didn't give me a whole lot to start out with."
"Why?"
Sheele paused for a couple seconds. " Nevermind that, first attack that dummy how you normally would attack an enemy. Your fighting style can determine everything about a battle."
"Alright." Izuku replied. He turned his attention to the nearest dummy. A straw figure with a wooden sword and shield.
'Attack how I normally would…' He remembered his past experiences fighting.
'One For All, Full Cowl 5%!' He shouted out in his head. He launched himself forward, aiming for the dummy's head.
"Smaaashhh!" He shouted out, his fist making contact with the dummy's head, Izuku then delivered another punch to it's center. The force of the impact sent strands of straw into the air, causing the dummy to rock back and forth. Sheele carefully examined Izuku, writing down her thoughts.
'He's a bit behind Akame and Leone in power…' Sheele took more time to examine his fighting style, as Izuku punched the dummy repeatedly.'His movements have way too much wind up, any experienced fighter could see them from a mile away'
After several more seconds of attacking, Izuku took a break, catching his breath.
"How was that?" Sheele straightened her glasses as she prepared to answer.
"Terrible" She deadpanned. Izuku's expression twisted into confusion and frustration.
"H-huh? How?"
"The windup for your punches are too long, any experienced fighter could see it coming."
"Well…" Izuku began. Was his fighting style really that flawed?
"Basically, you need to make your movements less obvious. That can be resolved pretty easily. But…" Sheele tried to remember the rest of her sentence.
"But what?" Izuku thought about what she said. His punches always did have a really long windup. Much like All Might's. Rearing his arm back as far as he could was a habit ingrained into him.
"You fight with just your fists, and never your feet." Izuku once again thought back to All Might. He'd copied much of his fighting style from the number one hero after all. All Might fought mostly with his fists, and rarely with his feet. Nor was he specially trained in any martial art, both he and All Might were brawlers.
"Yeah, you're right. I guess it's just a habit." Sheele let out a friendly chuckle.
"That's fine. My job is to help you fight better after all." Sheele frowned a little remembering all the other jobs she'd failed prior.
'I'm just glad I can be useful to someone.' She thought. Sheele banished those thoughts, she had a job she could do, she had to focus on doing it as correctly as she could.
"Well, try attacking the dummy again with what I just told you." Sheele suggested. Izuku nodded, and returned to attacking the dummy.
'He's got a ways to go. But he could easily be one of our strongest members with some help'
13 minutes later
Izuku was on his knees, panting heavily, and sweating like a pig.
'I haven't trained this hard since that time with All Might.' Izuku thought.
Sheele clapped a little. "Good, you're already improving." She complimented. Izuku stood up, wiping the sweat off his face.
"Thanks. I haven't trained this hard in ages."
"I'm glad to be of some help"
After catching his breath, Izuku examined his arms. He smiled in satisfaction, nothing was broken. But his legs ached, he must've used more than 5% by mistake.
"What's next?" Izuku asked.
"Well…" Sheele glanced back at her notebook. "Next I wanted to see how much of your power you can use."
"Oh, what you were seeing was it. About 5% of my power." Since he was in a new world, Izuku felt comfortable talking about some aspects of his One For All, without revealing what the power really was.
"What about the other day when you used your pinky to blow Akame away?"
"That was 100%, but as you know it breaks my bones if I use that much." Izuku looked down as he talked, seeing Sheele write away on a page. "Yes, so it seems to me that it's either 5 or 100% am I right?" Izuku nodded.
'For an airhead, she sure knows a lot about fighting.' Izuku thought, his expectations of Sheele had been twisted by his first encounter with her. He knew next to nothing about the girl, aside from her being a member of Night Raid, and an Airhead.
"There will be a time when you're going to need a temporary power up, a trump card, even if it hurts, but not enough to ruin your body. How much of your power can you bring out to use without damaging yourself too badly?" Sheele questioned. Izuku's eyes widened a little. He'd never thought about that before. If he could briefly use more than 5%, but much less than 100%, it would've helped against Stain and All Might a great deal to have the extra speed and power.
"I-I don't know…" Izuku thought.
"Try to bring out enough power to pulverize that boulder over there." Sheele said, pointing to the boulders adjacent to the dummies Izuku was attacking earlier.
"Wait did you bring those things here?" Izuku asked.
"I forgot who did." She shook her head.
"Oh, that's alright." Izuku sweatdropped. How could she have forgotten something so simple? He banished that thought, and turned his attention to the boulder. Sheele watched him carefully.
'Power I can use without hurting myself too badly…' Izuku thought, looking at his clenched fists. He remembered how back during the USJ incident and the Sports Festival, before he'd even used Full Cowl he managed to throw a punch strong enough to create a powerfull windstorm without damaging his arm. Though afterwards the arm was in pain, and shaking, but still very much so intact.
"That's it…" Izuku put the pieces together.
"Hmm?" Sheele mumbled, looking up from her notebook. Izuku channeled One For All into his right arm, a power greater than 5%, but much less than 100%.
'One For All, 20% Detroit Smaaasshhh!' The punch landed on the boulder, a mass of rock larger than Izuku was reduced into fine particles by the force of the impact. A windstorm erupted, blowing the remains of the boulder along with other pieces of training equipment across the training yard as a side effect from the punch, windows that peered out to the yard were shattered by the resulting storm.
Sheele gasped. 'I didn't even see his arm move' Her mouth was agape. 'Not even Bulat in Incursio could generate this much energy.' Izuku stood still with his arm outstretched. He clenched his teeth, his arm ached, and was stiff. But it was intact, not even a sprain.
Izuku took a moment to realize the result, smiling as he examined the aftermath of the power he unleashed.
"That was amazing!" Sheele couldn't hold her excitement in. Izuku blushed.
"Ohh yeah…. Heh" He sheepishly rubbed the back of his head. "It was… yeah." An awkward silence set in for the next five seconds, with Sheele frowning upon seeing the aftermath of the punch. Bulat was not going to be happy about this.
"Oh no, I'm sorry I shouldn't have made you use that much power here" She said shamefully. Once again, she'd caused more trouble for others to clear.
"Huh? No no it's not your fault I-I didn't know" Before either of them could say another word, Akame entered the training yard. Izuku froze under her icy glare.
'Oh no, what does she want?' Izuku thought. ' This chick creeps me out too, Kacchan was right'
Akame walked up to Izuku, looking at the destruction behind him, and at his right arm wich still trembled. She shook her head in disapproval.
"Not bad, but you've still got much to learn" Akame said before coldly walking past Izuku.
"I'll be training him next Sheele" Akame said, glancing back at her. Sheele's head drooped.
"I'm sorry." Was all Sheele was able to say. Once Akame was out of earshot, Izuku approached Sheele.
"She creeps me out, what does she mean by that?"
"Oh, don't mind Akame. She just needs some time to warm up to you is all." Izuku shook his head in disagreement. That girl had tried to murder himself, Tatsumi, and Katsuki. He couldn't see himself ever looking at Akame as something more than another villain. Compared to the other members of Night Raid, Akame seemed to be the most unlikable to him.
"I don't like her." Izuku frowned.
"Don't be like that Midoriya, she's not an evil person at heart." Sheele reasoned. "Go and train with her next time, I'm sure it would be good for you."
Izuku stood still, thinking about it. "Fine" He reluctantly agreed. Sheele smiled at him.
"I'm glad you're willing to give her a chance. Now…" Sheele looked back at her notebook. "Oh… I forgot about what else we're going to do today" Sheele let out a heavy sigh.
"Wha-"
Meanwhile…
"Hurry up!" Mine shouted from outside the clothing store. She had taken Katsuki Bakugou into the Capital to do some "Training". Much to the young hero's dismay, he was just being used for a glorified shopping trip. Now he was being forced to help Mine pick out dresses. Katsuki bit his lip, his face twisted into that of extreme rage.
"P-pi-pinky….." He stuttered in a low angry growl, desperately resisting the urge to explode, literally and figuratively.
"Hey!" She shouted again.
'That silver haired bitch! This is like Best Jeanst all over again' He thought. Images of Izuku's mysterious miracle quirk improving seemingly overnight flooded his head. Was Deku getting the same treatment? Or actually improving? He secretly hoped it was the former. Curse Najenda for setting him up with Mine of all people. He'd even take that creepy red eyed girl over Mine at this point.
"Deku..." He growled.
"Next we need to get some pastries, get my hair trimmed a-"
"Shut up!" Katsuki finally screamed. Earning the attention of everyone on the street, and within the clothing store.
"Ah, a couple hotheads in love eh?" A bystander joked.
"What did you say old man? I'll kick your ass!" Bakugou screeched. The store owner let his head fall onto the counter, this was going to be the third violent incident this wekk.
"Ugh..." He moaned, seeing the Blonde boy and Pink haired girl screaming at eachother.
A couple days later
All For One smiled underneath his mask, within the displaced hideout, and Nomu factory. He looked up at the brand-new Nomu created from the occupants of the carriage he'd encountered days before.
Using an extremely rare quirk he stole a century ago, he was able to duplicate a quirk a single time, that would be able to stick around in his body for 10 minutes. However, using his original power, All For One, he had the ability to transfer that power onto a living host before it expired. Without such a power, creating the Nomus would've been impossible. Normally a Nomu created from a single person could only support two quirks without decaying within seconds, but if multiple people are used to create a Nomu, up to five can be fused into it.
"Is the Nomu ready Hamasaki?" All For One questioned. Aside from himself, his doctor, and a couple of low-quality Nomu. They were the only souls in the displaced hideout. The boy that was responsible for displacing them was gone, much to All For One's disappointment.
All For One counted off the Quirks he'd given the Nomu in his head.,'Optical Relay. Quirk Radar, Endothermic Touch, Spearlike Bones, and Pterodactyl Wings'
"Yes it is. What do you plan to do with it sir?" The Doctor asked, typing away at a monitor. Using some quirks he hadn't used for decades, All For One was able to restore power to the hideout, by using a Nomu with an electric-type Quirk as a battery/generator.
"Ah, we need to know where and when we are. Judging by the appearances of the men I….borrowed for this Nomu. We are obviously on the past, but still on Earth."
"Yet something doesn't add up does it?"
"Indeed. These savages shouldn't have automatic firearms for centuries at the least." All For One approached the Nomu. It's skin was a sickly green, and had a single head with several misshapen faces placed on an exposed brain. It's body was misshapen and muscular.
"And that is what you are for. Go, find me all the relevant information about this land." All For One smirked beneath his mask. " And perhaps bring me some useful Quirks if such a thing happens to exist" As All For One finished the order, the Nomu sprouted Pterodactyl-esque wings from it's back, flying out a hole in the side of the hideout.
And that is done. And a bit longer than I anticipated. Anyways, the training scenes won't occupy too much time. And the story will be heading for the main plot soonly enough.
Though like how Tatsumi got his own first mission, Izuku and Katsuki will as well. As I will mention down below, crossovers need to have a solid amount of original content.
Some notes I want to talk about now.
Yes, as you can see here I am changing some major bits of the canon, and adding in more content to supplement what is already known about the Akame ga Kill universe. I see way too many crossover stories that just insert a character from another series, and have them pretty much be a spectator that doesn't or barely changes the plot of the story in any significant way. Nor do they add much of any original content to the series.
This won't be one of those stories. I want this story to be what a crossover should be. And not fall into the common pitfalls I just mentioned. Basically, the MHA characters can, and will make major alterations to how the story progresses. And there will be original content added in as well. So for those worried about some scenes playing out exactly like the anime and manga. Don't worry, that won't happen much.
Now for the poll.
Akame:7
Sheele:7
I appreciate all of you voting, however as the Author, I have read many reviews arguing for both pairings. And I myself will have to choose Sheele.
Hold up, before you get upset with my decision, hear me out.
I am not denying that AkameXIzuku could be done. I believe it can be, but I personally do not know how to execute it in the best possible way. As a matter of fact, thinking about how I could do it without tarnishing the story's quality partly contributed to the months long Hiatus it went on.
It would certainly be interesting to try, but they barely have anything in common. And it would take some serious work to make Izuku even look at Akame as not some villain. Essentially, her cold nature would be very off putting to Izuku.
Sheele on the other hand has much more in common, but still has some major ideological differences. Both are kind individuals seen as useless who want to make themselves useful, save the people of their respective words (Both in their own ways) and protect those they love. That, and sheele is rarely used as a pairing choice, and I think she deserved to stick around in the series for longer.
So I hope you can all understand my decision.
Next up, Izuku and Katsuki get their first mission. And begin to suspect they aren't as alone as they thought they were.
