Justice Across Space and Time
Chapter 68
Yes I'll be addressing the bombs and a few other things my OCs left for their friends. As well as some of the other things they'll be dealing with in regards to the situation facing the school. And what they'll need to do in hopes of rectifying the situation. So on with the show.
(No POV)
As Itsuka was running off and crying, Jotaro and Saphentite were ready to go after her. Only to be stopped by something they didn't expect. A number of Blackwhips and kinetic tendrils wrapping them up.
"You won't be going after her. I will." Izuku said with a firm look to both of them. He sighs before noting that they wouldn't help if they went after her right now. "I'm just going to talk or rather listen to her. She needs to talk with someone who isn't in the middle of your drama."
The duo share a look before agreeing and thanking Izuku. He wasn't alone though, as Ochaco and Melissa followed quietly to hear more of what was going on. Izuku found Itsuka in one of the workout areas of the space. Crying after tripping on some of the gear.
Izuku takes a deep breath before stepping over to check on her. "How do you think I'm doing?!" Itsuka shouts with tears and snot running down her face. She curls up into herself a bit before crying more. And her green haired friend just sat next to her and let her cry.
Once she had let it out a bit, Izuku extended a hand and said, "I knew you were upset. But if you need to let it out and talk, I am here." Itsuka looks up at the gentle smile Izuku was giving before wiping her face.
She takes his hand, and they take a seat on some of the benches in the space. "This place is crazy. I only got a glimpse as I was running, but it seems like a perfect hideaway." Izuku chuckles before saying, "apparently back in their old world, they each had other spaces they made to get away from heroics. This place was made later."
"After they got married?" Itsuka asks with some slight anger in her voice. Izuku nodded and gestured for her to keep going if she wanted to let out more. "It's just….. was it really real? Was there more there, or were they just stringing me along?"
The red head sighs before venting about she wondered if Jotaro could ever feel anything or if it was just a fling to get as his wife or something. "Or did he…. I don't even know where to begin really. It's just….. so confusing!"
Izuku nodded before sighing and asking if there was anything else. "Well…. How long were they planning on waiting to tell us?" she asked with a look to Izuku. "In that case, I think they were waiting till John was recharged. But you put things together so they had to jump in early."
He chuckled a bit before putting in his own thoughts. First about how it wasn't exactly what she expected. "For one thing….. it's true that they are a lot older than us. But at this point I'd say that's somewhat relative. Especially given they are stuck in teen forms. With all the other side effects that come with it."
Izuku then reminded her that Jotaro had shown he cared more than once. "He's just kind of awkward with things because….. Okay actually there are a lot of reasons. But in this case, I think it's because of how long it's been since he was in school." The look on Itsuka's face illustrates that she doesn't agree with that excuse.
"Why would he start a new relationship when…. He's already met his permanent partner?" she asked while pulling her legs up and curling into a ball. Izuku smiled before reminding her that some people meet new loves after one is gone.
"There are those who get divorced and meet someone new who can give them new hope and love. Other times, they lose their loves due to any number of reasons. And they meet someone who reignites the old spark. Even if you meet that special one, or two in my case, there are plenty of chances to find more love around you."
Itsuka had just been listening to his little pep talk, but she found herself blushing a bit more as it went on. She wasn't alone as Ochaco and Melissa were blushing a bit as well and sharing a similar look to Itsuka. 'That was kind of sappy,' they all thought as Izuku stood.
"You have every right to be mad, but don't you think you should talk to them about this. Not yell, talk. Besides, do you really believe either of them is that shallow or cruel?" Izuku says with his same smile. Itsuka sniffles a bit before wiping her face again.
She stands and thanks Izuku. Giving him a hug, before noticing some others had followed them. "I'm not gonna try and steal him." Itsuka said with a raised eyebrow towards the girls. Who face fault and let out strained chuckles.
He then suggests they go see the two other worlders so they could talk a few things out. And both of them were currently in the kitchen area looking very nervous. With Saphentite pacing and Jotaro tapping his foot in worry.
When Itsuka arrived, both moved to try and apologize. Only for Jotaro to get hit with a slap from the martial artist. And just when Saphentite was about confront Itsuka about it, she got slapped as well.
"I'm sorry. I'm mad, no furious, and not really ready for a lot of apologies from you two yet. But. I might be in time. Because…. I do still like you Jota- no John. And Saphee or Sahiraah, you've been a good friend. But…. after all of this. Keeping secrets like this and everything else. I need time to process it all."
Itsuka still looked like she wanted to cry but was keeping it together. The two heroes looked down in shame before nodding and understanding what she meant. "So…. Any uh. Any other questions you have about us?" Jotaro said with an uneasy look.
The other teens smiled before Melissa asked how they got together. The older heroes blushed a bit before admitting it was a bit different from what they might be thinking. "It's true I was grateful to him for saving me so often. But I was also frustrated at it and got sick of being a damsel."
Saphentite smiled before admitting she had to experiment with her genie powers to really get a feel for when and how she could help. "Both in combat and just in general. Genie powers are not as intuitive as you'd think," she said with a sheepish shrug.
Jotaro stretched out a bit before noting that they'd been traveling about a year and a half or so before anything really happened. "And it was mostly because of who we bumped into. A few members of the Overseers and other mages. They helped us both out."
They go into a story of how they had trained and studied there for a time. "Me to get a feel for the energy I absorbed and Sahiraah so she could try to find a way to break her curse." Jotaro explained before getting a few drinks.
He then told of how they got closer over time until he had to leave. "I stayed there for the training and to make sure she'd be safe. But my home needed help. America needed more heroes. Even if I only helped from behind the scenes."
"But that didn't make sense for him. So I suggested/made his original costume. Right down to the scales. It is convenient that you're a Libra," the genie girl said with a chuckle. Saphee then talked about how she helped clean up his hair and beard. And the two felt some minor spark at that.
"But I pushed it out. Even when she kissed me as I left the monastery. I… I didn't feel like I deserved to be loved. Not after what I did," he said with a downtrodden look. Faces dropped at this with Itsuka and Saphee taking one of Jotaro's hands.
The genie girl took over and mentioned how Justice's acts and work eventually led to more stability in America. And they were able to help other nations recover "Not only that, but he trained a handful of metas to use their powers. Mostly control, but still. His work and practice inspired dozens of heroes."
"It's not that noble. I just. They needed help with their power. And I knew how that felt better than anyone." Jotaro said with a slight blush. Ochaco chuckled with the others but she reiterated Melissa's question.
Saphee continued by noting that they eventually joined a hero group started by the Original Four. "We were the Watchers and did all we could to protect Earth. From threats on and away from it. And we grew closer during that time. Though not without a few arguments."
The strongest hero of another world sighed before admitting that he pushed her away more than once because of his guilt. "But that didn't deter her. Even amidst her work as a hero, doctor, and magic guardian, she still kept wanting to make it work."
"Right down to me being the one who proposed. After a lot of….. well sex was one part obviously. But also just fighting alongside one another and the trust we'd built up." Saphentite said with a slightly smug look. Jotaro rolled his eyes but didn't disagree.
The four teens listening blushed a bit but Itsuka seemed a bit entertained at listening to the whole story. "Guess you aren't that good with girls~. Despite the smooth lines you drop from time to time," she said between sips of a soda.
Jotaro was about to retort when a scream was heard in a different section of the space. The group hurried toward it and found….. a rather enticing yet unsettling sight. Mina was currently on top of Jiro in the music room. Nibbling on the girl's, apparently very sensitive, earlobes and jacks.
As well as feeling up her crotch while Jiro was facedown. "No! Bad Mina!" Saphee said before extending her arms out. She pulled the pink girl away and tried to get her to focus on her. "Saphee? What's going… oh no."
"It's okay. We jumped in before it got too serious. I think?" Saphentite says before noticing Jiro was twitching a bit on the floor. Her face bright red from all of the feelings she'd been subjected to during Mina's assault.
Jotaro let out a breath as Melissa helped Jiro up. "This is gonna be a problem. And the worst part is we don't have a good way to counter it," he says as a few others arrive. Saphentite agrees and notes, "we'll just have to keep her under watch for the time being."
The students adjourn back to standard space, but not before a few ask if they could use it from time to time. Though the creators deny it on the principle, "we built it to be a retreat. A place where we could get away. Having you guys coming and going would defeat the purpose."
Some pout or grumble, but more see the point. "They built or however they did it as a way to relax. That's something we all need as heroes as is. Even my father and brother had them." Ida said with a nod.
Momo and a few others agree and reason with those who wanted to go back sometime. Though there was a problem with Mina currently. And it wasn't because of her increased assets making it to where she had less to wear.
She was still being influenced by the demon a bit and would at times start groping her classmates. Though some (Mineta, Kosei, and Kaminari) enjoyed it more than others. And a few found themselves liking it as well (Jiro, Pony, and Yui).
About two days after the reveal, Saphentite finally analyzed the make up of the toxin used to afflict the students. "So a lot of good news and bad news everyone," she said while adjusting her glasses. A few snorted at that, were aroused, or deathly serious. The teachers being in the last group.
Her first point was that they could get some things themselves. "I have a few of the counter herbs to make the potion. There are….. two other problems though. The obvious one being Aglaophotis. I can't grow that."
Recovery Girl nodded and asked if there were other plants she needed. "Yes. I have list of things that we should be able to get in the world," she said before handing the list to the nurse. She nodded and said she'd get them as fast as possible.
Aizawa asked what the other problem was. "It's…. a little awkward. But we need samples from demons themselves to finish it. And… Hey! Mina knock it off!" Saphentite says before feeling her breasts being groped.
Mina had turned herself transparent and slipped up right behind the genie while she was talking. Even making her moan out as she did it. A few of their classmates grabbed the girl and pulled her back. While others were collapsed to the side with blood pouring from their noses.
"You aren't suggesting what I think you're suggesting are you Sahiraah?" Jotaro said with a complicated look on his face. Though that could also be due to Mina slipping her hand down to his crotch while he was pulling her away. "Unfortunately, yeah. We don't really have a choice. The worst part will be getting around Luxuria City."
Jotaro groaned while facepalming. After rubbing his face he said, "of all places. There?! And please don't tell me we'll have to deal with them!" Saphentite shrugged before admitting he was correct in his suspicion.
"If you're worried about what you'll have to face, we can go with you man. I've got your back and- OH GOD!" Izuku started before Mina slid out of her classmate's grip and right into Izuku. "Ooooohhh~! Quite the nice piece you're packing here Midori~."
Mina purrs this while using her demon pheromones and a touch of her quirk to increase Izuku's sensitivity and arousal. Izuku blubbers a bit and it increases as Mina starts licking his neck. "Oh no you don't!" Ochaco and Melissa shout.
Ochaco reduces Mina's gravity and tosses her up into the air. Where Melissa uses one of her condensium straight jackets to hold the possessed girl in place. Her celebration though is short lived. "Oh yeah~~~~! That's the stuff~~! Hurts so good~~~! Wait! You could electrify that net right!? Do with this too~~~! Come on~~! I'm so close~~~!"
Nosebleeds and blue shades pass over everyone's faces hearing Mina's aroused cries. "Okay we might need to take her with us." Jotaro said with the shade fading over his face. Saphentite groaned before agreeing with her husband. "With some luck, they will be able to help her."
"And where exactly is this here you two have been talking about?" Nezu asks with a concerned look on his face. Jotaro rubs the back of his neck while Saphentite looks down in a bit of nervousness. But the latter decides to rip off the bandage. "The only way to get some of what we need….. is to go to Hell ourselves."
Upon saying this, all eyes were wide. Before Ibarra dropped down to her knees and started praying with a speed no one could follow. "Are you sure?" Toshinori asked with a nervous look himself. "Unfortunately, that is the best bet. If we want to get our hands on Aglaophotis, we need to get it from demons themselves."
Midnight brings up that the point Saphentite made about samples from demons as well. "And to do that you'd have to summon said demons. Which aside from the costs or whatever they could ask for in payment, could take too long. Or go down yourself to get the materials."
The genie and de-powered hero agree and note that they knew of someone who could help and might be more willing to work with them. "Unsettling as it is. They are a very dangerous individual. But we might be able to play off of something to get them to go along."
"This is still gonna suck though. I hate dealing with that asshole!" Jotaro says with his arms crossed. Saphentite though just gave him a flat look before saying, "that's because they and plenty of the other demons in his circle are constantly trying to get in your pants."
Jotaro blushes before exclaiming that her statement wasn't helpful. "If you need a sacrifice I will be more than glad to take the bullet!" Mineta shout while drooling. It's stopped though by Jotaro chopping the top of his head. Izuku sighs and still offers to go with the two.
"You may have experience down there, but one of you is much weaker and the other can't protect yourselves and Mina easily." Tetsutetsu then stands and offers to come along as well. "I'm not gonna let one of the manliest heroes I know go in without some back up. Besides, aren't demons weak to iron?"
Saphentite nods and agrees to the idea. But this is when Aizawa steps in and puts a halt to all the proceedings. "We are NOT, going to let a bunch of students walk knee deep into Hell!" A few of his fellow teachers agree with Midnight reiterating the statement. Sort of.
"At least not alone," she finished before stepping forward to address Saphentite and Jotaro. "You need those materials and you know who we need to deal with. But it would still be a good idea that a pro goes with you. And I volunteer." Toshinori then clears his throat before saying he could call in Hibiki Ten as well.
"Then you'd have some extra true meta muscle and a fast getaway if need be." Nezu agrees with both of the teachers and tells All Might to make his call. He then addressed Saphentite and asked what else she needed. "Get the rest of the ingredients on that last and check the conditions of the students again. We need to know what timeframe we have to work with."
The rodent hero acknowledged with, "understood Dr. Anwar. We'll keep you posted and acquire the ingredients for the counter potion." Jotaro stood before asking if anyone else was up for the trip.
No one volunteered right away, but eventually Shoto held his hand up. As did Pony. "Maybe they won't bother me if they think I'm also just a demon. I do have horns and these hooves after all." Jotaro and Shoto noted the way she phrased that, but didn't investigate for now.
"Next stop: the lust circle of Hell. Capital, Luxuria City. Ruled by the demon Asmodeus. Oh god this is gonna suck," he said with a disgruntled and disgusted look on his face. The meeting breaks and the group packs a bit before meeting with Jotaro and Saphentite again.
Jotaro pricked his finger to draw some blood and drew a magic circle on the wall of the 1-A dorm. Once he was done, Saphentite wove her spells with her hands and then into the framework of the circle. Creating a shinning door into the abyss.
"Last chance to back out." Jotaro said with a look back to his friends. But none of them faltered. Or at least they had steeled themselves enough that they weren't walking away from this. He nodded before signaling to head through the portal.
Izuku took the lead and Midnight was right behind him. Shoto and Pony had Mina in front of them and Tetsutetsu brought up the rear. They closed their eyes while going into the portal, but they were surprised by what they saw on the other side.
"Huh. I figured there'd be a lot more fire." Pony said while looking over Luxuria City. It looked no different from any other city one might find on earth. There were no geysers of fire, the ambient screams that could be heard sounded more pleasurable that agony filled, and there was a sweet scent in the air.
Jotaro looked back at the group before turning back towards the city. "Don't be fooled. We are in Hell. But these sections are governed by the lords of Lust and populated by scores of succubi. And Asmodeus watches them all."
"Yeah. This ring though is much more palatable because for some it's a reward or just a different kind of escape realm. Stay close and don't get distracted. We've gotta get over to Asmodeus's club castle."
Saphentite explained this before suggesting that Izuku use his Blackwhips to hold Mina's neck. "Oh~~. Someone feeling frisky~~? Or do you just want to watch~?" Mina said with a lick of her lips. What's more, she had grown again and her horns had changed once more. Now looking thicker and even more like those of demons.
Jotaro and Saphentite's faces couldn't get much flatter before the former said, "it's camouflage. If they think we're just part of the lust filled nuts down here, we've got less chances for worry." Pony blushed before looking down at her hooves and feeling her horns.
"Maybe….. Maybe I could play into it as well. Saphee? Could you make my costume. At least parts of it. And…. something else?" Her blush was luminescent as waved the genie over. And Saphee matched it shade for shade. "Are you sure?" she asked with some unease.
Pony nodded before her and Saphentite went behind some trees. A bit of magic later, and Pony's new outfit had all the guys blushing, sputtering, or feeling uncomfortable twinges in their pants.
She had a saddle on her back, over a tight black leather top. On her legs, she had very, very short shorts on. Which also seemed to dig into her crotch a bit with a strap piece between her legs and up along her back.
Her arms were tied behind her back and to the horn or the saddle. But could be detached so her arms would be put forward and she'd have to walk like that. To top the get up off, she not only had a collar around her neck; but also a bridle bit in her mouth.
Before Mina could get started, Saphentite silenced her with a gag as well. Midnight though seemed excited by all of these scintillating circumstances. But kept most of her composure and checked on both girls. Partially to make sure they were comfortable (ish) and for some of her own enjoyment.
"Now then… Sorry Tetsutetsu. But this should keep some of the illusion up," the teacher said before putting a collar she pulled out of somewhere. And put it on the teen. "Okay it's less weird when she does it because magic. But why did you have that along?" Jotaro asked while calming himself down.
Midnight just shrugged and noted she had plenty of other naughty tools and instruments with her. "It's kind of my thing," she said with a bemused look. The teens gave her a look before Saphentite reminded them about why they were there. "Let's get moving. And remember; stay close. Yokai aren't the only ones who can spirit away when you aren't looking."
So an aside question for you all; would you rather I stuck to calling my OCs by their aliases, or should I just shift to their true names? Also, no I was not planning that bit with Pony originally! I literally just like grabbed a name out of a hat and….. well you read it! It just came to me!
Anyway! Next chapter will have them making their way more into Asmodeus's realm and to meet the dangerous demon themselves. Well dangerous might be a stretch, but still. And we'll get the next step for this Hell Bound arc. Please review!
