Chapter 11: Hatsume's Plan
"This is a follow-up report on yesterday's incident at the U.A. rescue training facility where hero course students were attacked by villains. According to the police investigation, the criminals call themselves "The League of Villains." and have been plotting to kill All Might, who has been a teacher at U.A. High since the spring of this year. Police have arrested 72 villains, but they still do not know the whereabouts of their ringleader. Surveillance footage has shown clear evidence that the vigilante known as Spider-Man was present during these events. In the following images, it shows Spider-Man rescuing the U.A. students and assisting the Pro Heroes. Police speculate that the vigilante was investigating the whereabouts of this group and tracked them to the attack of the U.S.J.".
Logan turned off the T.V. as he finished packing up and got his passport. "Logan, are you sure about this?"
"I am Charles. If he's back, then it poses a huge threat to everyone. I'm sure the school will be fine without me for a little bit."
"I understand. Have you contacted him yet?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"I'm not even sure if the guy is up to it. This isn't something to bother Toshinori about. I'm only going to check up on Laura and if there is a possibility All for One is out there. I'll speak to him."
"Just remember that the X-Men can arrive in Japan if needed."
"They have heroes as well, Charles. I'll be fine".
~Hatsume Residence (Two days after the U.S.J.)~
"Are you ready?"
"Sure. What do you have"?
Hatsume opened a file labeled ''Spider_Mark_II'' and revealed a picture of Izuku's new suit.
"SO! I may have not slept at all and decided to finish your brand new suit design! I decided to make the design a bit more unique and added a bit more black and blue. The suit is a lot more durable as well. It's not bulletproof obviously, but it should be able to stop small knives from piercing the suit. It can also withstand temperatures above 1000°C. The wingsuit has been upgraded as well. It's not voice-commanded anymore but instinctively deploys it. Almost like a sort of artificial intelligence. Now, about the mask. The mask has an upgraded night vision system along with a more efficient police scanner! You'll be able to get alerts in Hosu, Tokyo, Musutafu, Fukuoka, Yokohama, Esuha, and Deika city."
"Wow. That seems like a lot of work for a kid who's still in High…"
"And there's more!"
"Ignoring me. Got it."
"Your Utility Belt has better medical supplies and gadgets! The Spider-Tracers have a much stronger signal to locate and I designed some web gadgets!"
"Web gadgets? What do you mean? My webs are organic."
"I know. It was a pain in the ass trying to replicate web-like silk! I tried my best, but the formula dissolves in 10 minutes. I made descriptions of these.
Web Grenade: a bomb that hovers in the air before blasting nearby enemies with webs.
Trip Mine: A laser-activated device that disables an enemy that comes across it.
The final thing I have to talk about is the Spider-Emblem. If you double-tap it and say "rescue", It'll send an emergency signal to all my devices so I can know if you're in trouble".
Hatsume smiled as she felt like she used every bit of her remaining energy on this. Izuku didn't know what to say. Leave it to Hatsume to go above and beyond and end up making you an incredibly overpowered suit!
"Hatsume, I really appreciate this! How can I repay you?"
"Actually, now that you mention it. Do you think you could help me at the sports festival?"
"How so?"
"I would love it if you can help me advertise my babies! From what has been rumored, Pro Heroes from across the world will attend the event, along with several and Entrepreneurs! If I can get them to notice my gadgets, my future would practically be secured. This where you come in. It'd be nice to have someone by my side and draw attention to my inventions."
"I'd be happy to help! It'll be more fun then what I had in mind."
"What was that?"
"Try my hardest to make it to last place. Remember, my name is Izuku Midoriya, a Quirkless student, not a super-powered vigilante."
"Yeah, that makes sense. So, you'll help me!"
"Yeah. But school doesn't start till tomorrow. Right now, I think you need like a full fifteen hours of sleep".
Izuku's focus went straight to the T.V. as he saw the news. He saw a man with a… fishbowl on his head terrorizing downtown? "Now, If you'll excuse me. I gotta get to my job. Have a good night."
"It's 4 Pm."
"You know what I mean". Izuku grabbed the suit, put on the mask, and began to swing towards the attack.
~Class 1-C (The next day)~
"So, is it true?"
"Huh? Who are you all?"
"Is it true that you and Class 1-A were attacked by a bunch of villains"?!
The entire class surrounded Izuku's desk. The teacher was currently out of the room, and Midoriya was at the mercy of his fellow classmates. "I need to go to the art room. Please let me go."
"Answer our questions, first."
"Hey! Leave him alone".
Behind the crowd, Harry came to the rescue and pulled his friend away. "Laura, can you make sure he gets away safely?"
"Got it. Let's go!"
"Right."
"Hey, wait! What about our questions"?
Izuku and Laura ran out of the room, making sure they were safe. "Man, I guess I owe Harry again. Thanks for helping as well, Laura."
"Don't mention it. So, where are you heading?"
"I need to go to the art room then the Class 1-H. I took a bunch of photographs so I'm gonna show them to Midnight. You don't have to come with me if you don't want to." "I don't mind".
The two of them arrived at the room and Izuku made sure to have his pictures ready.
"Oh, Midoriya! I was wondering when you'd visit."
"Good Morning, Midnight. I have the pictures from the U.S.J. to show you."
"Oh, right! Let's see what you have".
Izuku gave Midnight the pictures and she patiently looked over the photos. Midoriya was surprised to see how good the quality was, especially since he just webbed his camera onto a bush. Not to mention the camera took some memorable shots. Spider-Man kicking the Nomu, All Might arriving, The students helping them, and All Might's "Plus Ultra" smash.
"Woah, these are incredible! Have you shown these to anyone yet?"
"Only my friend, Uraraka."
"I see. How would you feel about a job as a photographer?"
"Photographer?"
"I know some people who work at a certain newspaper company called Juko News. I'm sure they'll fight for a chance to buy your pictures."
"Really, how much do they pay?"
"It depends on how good the pictures are. It could be between one hundred to three hundred dollars per picture."
"Where do I sign up?!"
"Woah, Woah kid! It's not a sure thing, but I can email the editor-in-chief of Juko News to meet up with you after school. Stop by there in time and I'm sure you can get a reasonable price for photos."
"Got it. Thanks, Midnight!"
"Of course, now both of you, run off to class". Izuku and Laura listened as they left her room.
"So where are you off to?"
"Me? I thought I'd stick around with you for a bit. We have a few minutes till lunch as well, so there's really no point in going into class."
"Oh, yeah! Guess we should head over to the cafeteria". As the two of them walked together, Izuku pulled out his phone and texted Mei to meet him at lunch.
"Hey, Midoriya. If you think about it, you and I haven't really talked much."
"Oh, I guess you're right. Now that I think about it, I haven't really talked with Liz or Harry much either. I've been really busy these past few days. Sorry about that."
"No need to apologize. Everyone's been busy and you got attacked twice by those villains."
"Yeah. I don't know what their deal is."
"Don't think about them. They're probably better left behind."
"So, what do I think about?"
"Hmm. I guess we could ask questions to get to know each other better. I'll go first. Why did you choose to go to U.A. High?"
"Oh, my original plan was to train to be a hero. I had a notebook and everything, until when I was diagnosed Quirkless. Everything fell apart from there, but I still managed to move forward. I even got interested in science and kept my love for heroes. I chose U.A. because Dr. Connors found me in a dark space and convinced me to enroll. What about you? Why'd you choose U.A.?"
"I didn't exactly choose to enroll here. My… father thought it'd be best for me to study here instead of New York, along with Harry and Liz. My father met up with Norman and he agreed to help us."
"I see. Is your dad a friend of Norman?"
"Not really. My dad works at a school back home with his friend, Charles Xavier. Charles is a friend of Norman."
"Xavier? Like the school for gifted youngsters, Xavier?"
"That's new. I didn't think anyone here knew about that place."
"As a hero otaku, I know everything. It's one of the very first schools that turned Quirk users into heroes!"
"Yeah. I heard. Anyways back to the questions."
"Deku! Over here!"
"Oh, your girlfriend is calling you. We'll hold off on the questions later. You have my number, right?"
"Yeah. Bye!... wait".
Izuku blushed as Laura left to go find her friends. Ochaco walking up to him didn't help the situation. "What's wrong, Deku?"
"O… oh nothing, Uraraka! What's up?"
"I was wondering if you would have lunch with me and Iida again."
"Sure, can I invite one of my friends from the support course?"
"I don't see why…".
Their conversation was cut short as they heard loud footsteps and laughter coming their way. "HAHAHA! Young Midoriya is here!"
"All Might? What are you doing?"
"Lunch! Wanna eat with me?"
"That's adorable!"
"I mean I would, but I kinda made plans."
"Oh, don't be like that Deku! You can go."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah! Have fun"!
Izuku sighed and nodded to the Pro. He followed All Might to the teacher's lounge after he got his own lounge. Once they closed the door, All Might transformed back into his skinny form. "You might be wondering why I called you here."
"That's one question."
"Right, please take a seat". Izuku did so as he put his lunch tray down.
"Feel free to eat as well. I just need you to listen. I'm getting weaker, you saw this firsthand. I was unable to move as those villains began to race towards me. At most, I barely have two hours left in my muscle form."
"Two?!"
"Yeah… That's the limit to how long I can use my power now. I overdid it too many times."
"Limit? Overdid it? Can you please explain, All Might?"
"Of course. Several years ago, I received a critical injury that put me into commission. Ever since that day, my power has been dropping drastically. I pushed my limits when I saved Young Bakugo last year and this year with the U.S.J. incident. That Nomu was a tough opponent."
"Oh? I'm so sorry."
"Ha! There's no need to apologize! You and I are really alike. Oh, have some tea."
"Thanks…"
"If you don't mind me, can I ask you a question?"
"Of course."
"The sports festival. What are you planning to do?"
"As a Quirkless kid, I thought that I'd try my best to get last place. I wasn't really gonna try until Hatsume asked me for a favor."
"Hatsume?"
"She's my friend from the support course. I'm gonna try my best to help her advertise her inventions. If I have to get first place, then I have to try my best."
"So, you're trying to help someone at the sports festival?"
"That's the plan. After that, I was thinking of meeting up with Gwen. Gwen said that Melissa and she would arrive for the festival."
"Melissa Shield?"
"Yeah! Do you know her?"
"She's the daughter of my best friend. That's a nice surprise. Especially with everything that's going on. To put it frankly, I don't have much time as the symbol of peace. I was hoping to find a successor, but it's been quite complicated."
"A successor?"
"Yes, a successor. Someone to take under my wing so that I could personally train them to be the next symbol of peace, but I'm stuck on a few choices. I have chosen three potential candidates, but I need to learn more from them before I decide. There's one more reason why I asked you to come here. I want to know that I can trust you to keep my secret. I can tell that you have a big heart, young Midoriya. I look forward to your performance at the festival."
"Yes, sir! Thank you. It really means a lot."
"Head back to your class. It's almost time to head home".
Izuku smiled a final time as he left for his class. As he was walking back, several people ran around him. Izuku got curious and began to follow them. He saw several students gather around Class 1-A's entrance and knew what was happening "Oh crap..."
"We can't get out! What'd you come here for, anyway?"
"They're scouting out the enemy, small fry. We're the ones who made it out of the villains' attack. Out of my way, extras"! Izuku completely expected this, but still felt the need to facepalm.
"I came to see what the famous Class A was like, but you seem pretty arrogant. Are all the students in the hero course like this"?
Izuku saw as Iida, Uraraka, and Mineta desperately trying to disagree with this person's statement. Midoriya recognized the student. His name was Hitoshi Shinso and he was one of the quieter students in his class. He looked like Aizawa, but younger and with Purple hair.
"Seeing something like this makes me disillusioned. There are quite a few people here who enrolled in general studies or other courses because they didn't make it into the hero course. Did you know that? The school has left those of us a chance. Depending on the results of the sports festival, they'll consider our transfer into the hero course. And it seems they may also transfer people out. I, at least, came to say that even if you're in the hero course, if you get carried away, I'll sweep your feet out from under you. I came with a declaration of war".
Izuku cringed as he saw Hitoshi and Bakugo stare each other down. The tension was broken when another voice spoke up. "Hey! I'm from Class B next door! I heard you fought against villains, so I came to hear about it! Don't get so full of yourself"!
Bakugo ignored the other student and made his way out. Uraraka saw Deku and decided to try to sneak out with him. Izuku helped her through the crowd and both of them left the crowd. "Hey, one of them is leaving!"
"Run."
"Right"! Izuku grabbed her hand and both of them ran away from the crowd. As they left the building, the two of them stopped to catch their breath. "Sorry about that. I didn't want you to be stuck there."
"Thanks, but can I ask you something?"
"Yeah."
"Can you please let go of my hand?"
'Oh, your girlfriend is calling you'.
Izuku blushed once more as he let go of her hand and began to walk. Uraraka also blushed but decided to quickly change the subject. "Are you heading to the train station?"
"Yeah, Midnight told me to meet with someone at Juko News. I can apparently get paid for the pictures I took of the U.S.J. I really need the money at this moment."
"Really? Why do you need it?"
"Oh, for a certain hospital bill."
"From your villain attack?"
"…Something like that."
"I guess I could relate to your money problems. I'm pretty much broke and my parents haven't been doing so well at work."
"Really? What's wrong?"
"My family owns a construction company, but we haven't gotten any work, so that's where the broke part comes in."
"Wait. With your Quirk, if you get licensed, then wouldn't it bring the costs down? You could float everything that needs to be floated."
"I know right! I've been telling my parents that forever!…but they didn't think it'd be best for me. That's why I chose the hero course. So I could sign with a good agency and make plenty of money. Then I'll be able to let my parents take it easy."
"Oh, wow. That's very noble of you, Ochaco. You're probably the only person I know who was fighting for someone. I hope you succeed."
"Really,... wow I haven't heard anyone say that to me. Thanks, Deku. That means a lot". Uraraka smiled brightly as Izuku returned it. But in the back of his mind, he couldn't help but feel worried.
~Juko News~
Izuku stopped inside of a huge building and made his way to the top. As he made his way up, he saw several people working on articles and others having a conversation. Izuku walked over to the main office hoping to talk to the editor-in-chief. "Woah. Where do you think you're going?"
"Oh, um. I was hoping to talk to the editor-in-chief."
"Do you have an appointment?"
"No, but Midnight sent him an email about me."
"Midnight? Oh, are you Izuku Midoriya?"
"Yeah. I'm here to show him the pictures I took at the U.S.J."
"Oh, you mind if I see them. My name's Taneo Tokuda. I'm a freelance journalist, I can take you to her."
"It's nice to meet you. Here". Taneo grabbed the photos and looked over them.
"Woah, They're good. Very good! How'd you get them?"
"I was in the U.S.J. at the time to take pictures of the students' training, but I had to hide. As I did I decided to take pictures of the heroes fighting."
"Wait, till she sees these! Come with me, kid". Izuku began to walk with Robbie until they stopped and heard a man yelling in the office.
"No one's going to buy our newspapers with pictures like that! That's the aftermath of the incident, don't tell me you can't get a picture of anything. Not the Stark Expo, not the U.S.J, not even Spider-Man! You're fired get out"!
Out of his office, a poorly dressed man fell onto the ground and ran out of the building. Izuku began to get worried as he thought that the same thing might happen to him. "What is it?!"
"I have a photographer here, who might have what you're looking for."
"I'm not looking for an amateur! Call me when you have something worth my time."
"He's the student Midnight emailed us about. You know from the U.S.J.".
The woman stopped in her tracks and turned around with a smile on his face. "Well, why didn't you say so?! Nice to meet you kid, Welcome to Juko News! Please come in".
Izuku took a seat and anxiously waited for Jeimī (The editor from episode 64 doesn't have a name/ I couldn't find it, so this is what I'm calling her) to review his photos. She flipped through them and stopped. "They're crap."
"I'm sorry, what?"
"Camera Quality, awkward angles, and lighting. I'll give you two hundred (21,286 Yen) for all of them."
"That's way too low!"
"Then take them somewhere else." Izuku reached for his photos and walked to the door. Just when he reached the doorknob, she panicked.
"Alright! Sit down. We don't have any pictures for this incident and you somehow got a perfect picture of Spider-Man and All Might fighting these villains. Five hundred (53,465 Yen). That's the standard freelance fee". Jeimī takes the photographs back and hands them to Tokuda.
"Give those to the guys downstairs. Tell them that's their page one. U.S.J attacked?! Spider-Man involved? Exclusive pictures from Juko News"
"Woah, isn't that a bit far fetched? Spider-Man was seen helping the students."
"Well, how did he know that the villains were gonna be there in the first place? Why didn't he report it? Tell you what? You take the shots, I make up the headlines, is that alright with you?"
"Yes, Ma'am. Wait, before I leave, can I have a job here?"
"Job? No, freelance! It's the best thing in the world for a student your age! Bring more pictures of that webhead and I might take them off your hands. Give this check to the girl upfront and you'll get your money. Now get out of here".
Izuku walked out of the office and went towards the girl's desk. "Hi, um Jeimī told me to give this to you."
"Oh, welcome to Juko News."
"Uh, thank you."
"Just give me a sec. Before I give you the money, do you mind giving me your email so we could contact you on any new assignment?"
"Not at all"!
~Later that day (Hatsume Residence)~
Hatsume was currently in her room, working on something. She kept looking up at her computer to make sure that she was doing everything perfectly. "And… done! Finally, after so many attempts, I think I got this right. Now I just need to find something to power this thing".
Hatsume stood up and admired her invention. It was a metallic arm with several wires attached to it. "Crap, if I want to power this thing, I'm gonna need something that provides at least 40,000 people with power. And I can't go to the power plant, which has been banned since last year. It was just a small blackout, and they called the police on me!"
"Blackout"?
Hatsume screamed and fell to the ground as she saw Izuku climb through her window. "What the fuck?! I was working!"
"Sorry."
"What are you doing here? And why are you still in costume?"
"I just came from stopping a mugging. Got some pictures for it as well."
"That's cool, but why are you here?"
"Two reasons, one to ask about what inventions you're gonna use and two… I need more web grenades."
"What?! I gave you like a week's worth of those things!"
"I kinda used them all by accident."
"How did y… nevermind. I'll work on that. Right now, I'm busy."
"On that? Are you using it for the festival?"
"I don't know. It's not even finished and this is more like a passion project."
"What is it? Some type of weapon?"
"Not exactly. It's just a small part of an even bigger invention. I just need to find out how to power it for long periods of time. It's more of a way of transportation. I've had this idea since I was a kid, but I could never make it work. Hopefully, now that I'm older, I could make my dream come true."
"Would you like me to help? I'm quite a genius too!"
"Do you really want to help? It's gonna be tough to make it work. And it'll probably take the entire break to even get close to finishing."
"Well, I can still help. I just need to limit my Spider-Manning a little. Besides, as a hero, it's my responsibility to help."
"Alright 'Hero'. Let me fill you in".
~Morning of the Sports Festival~
"Hey, Where are you?!"
"Kinda busy, Hatsume"!
Spider-Man was dodging incoming gas attacks as he saw the man with a fishbowl for a head hover over him. "When did you get out of jail, Mysterio?"
"Foolish Spider. Mysterio cannot be trapped in such a prison."
"Well, I think Mysterio should turn himself in. You're gonna make me late!"
"Then I shall end this quickly". Mysterio summoned a large dragon and Izuku's Spider-Sense flared up. He dodged once more as the dragon unleashed raging green flames towards Spidey.
"That's new. His tricks before were just illusions. What happened?"
"That's right, Spider-Man! Mysterio is now the master of real magic!"
"I don't believe in magic. What actually happened"?
Izuku continued to dodge Mysterio's attacks but could tell that wouldn't work. "Hatsume, can you show me if that dragon is real?"
"Dragon?! Uh, yeah hold on. I need to see through your lenses."
"Hurry. I can't dodge forever".
As he said that, the dragon wrapped itself around the web-slinger. Mysterio could be seen chuckling as he hovered towards him. "This is beyond perfect. To think that I, Mysterio, would be the one to vanquish the web-head. It feels amazing!"
"Spidey! That dragon isn't real!"
"It feels pretty real! Would you like to elaborate?!"
"He's a robot! A machine! It's not alive! Get out of there"!
Izuku listened as he tried to break free. "Not gonna happen. Tighten your grip, creature"!
The dragon listened as he started to squeeze Spidey. But that wasn't gonna happen. Izuku kept going and started to overpower the Machine. "ERROR. ERROR."
"What? No, no, no! Keep going you idiot! Squash him"! Izuku felt as the dragon began to overheat. With one final act, Izuku escaped his grasp. The dragon caught on fire as he fell to the ground.
"We'll meet again Spider-Man!"
"I don't think…"
"Izuku!"
"What?"
"You're gonna be late! The festival is about to begin! Get your ass over here!"
"What"?! Izuku saw as Mysterio disappeared in thin air and sighed in disappointment. With what little time he had Izuku rushed to the School.
~U.A. High School~
"Crap, crap, crap"! Izuku struggled to get into his gym uniform as he came out of the locker room, shirtless.
"Hatsume, meet me at the entrance I just gotta… Ah"!
As if things weren't bad enough, Izuku fell down the stairs and crashed into a student. "Woah, Nejire are you alright?"
"Yeah, that was unexpected."
"Oh, I'm so sorry! I'm just really late for the first-year sports festival. See ya!"
"Hey, wait! Your phone! Also, the first-year stage is that way."
"Oh, thank you! And I'm sorry!"
"No problem"!
As Izuku ran, the three students looked towards him. "Hey, isn't that Izuku Midoriya? Remember the photographer who was in the U.S.J. attack?"
"Hey, you're right. I heard that he saved All Might during the attack. Oh man, I'm gonna miss his performance at the Festival."
"Speaking of which, the three of us should head over to our stadium".
As he finished putting on his shirt, he saw Hatsume impatiently waiting. "I'm here!"
"About time! What happened?"
"Mysterio escaped and I ended up crashing into someone on the way here. I'm really sorry."
"It's alright. I'm glad you are here. Oh, by the way, Gwen and Melissa said hi."
"They were here?"
"Yep. Wear these."
"What are these?"
"That's a utility belt with some helpful gadgets. Since you can't use your powers or start shooting webs, this can also be used to your advantage, a grappling hook by my own design. And those are one of the most amazing inventions of mankind. Sneakers".
Izuku was confused but looked down to see that he didn't have shoes on. "Oh, that's embarrassing. Thanks."
"Come on, they're calling the Support course".
Izuku walked out and saw someone walking up the stage. "Representing the first-years, Katsuki Bakugo from Class 1-A."
"I pledge… That I'll be number one."
"Hatsume, cover your ears."
"Wha?"
"Trust me"!
The two of them covered their ears as all of the first years began to boo and yell at Katsuki. After all these years, Izuku still couldn't believe what Bakugo would do to prove that he was the best. "Now, Let's get started right away. The first game is what you'd call a qualifier! Every year, many drink their tears here! Now, here is the fateful first game! This year, it's… this"!
The screen behind Midnight showed "Obstacle Race". "All 11 classes will participate in this race. The course will be the outer circumference of this stadium-about four kilometers! Our school's selling point is freedom! As long as you stay on the course, it doesn't matter what you do! Now, take your places, everyone"!
Izuku walked next to Hatsume and got prepared to run. Izuku could also see Katsuki, Laura, Harry, Uraraka, and Todoroki getting ready. Whatever was gonna happen, he knew it wasn't gonna be easy.
"Start"!
