Chapter 3

What the sludge is that?

Izuku Midoriya didn't know why he started too run.

He didn't know why he was running too the terrifying sludge villain who was currently holding his friend/bully bakugo hostage.The same "friend" who would constantly bully and torment him with his explosion quirk for being quirkless ever since they were kids. The rest of his classmates would laugh at him while the teachers would simply ignore him.

So why was he running towards him with the intentions of saving him? Without a quirk he was useless right? That's what his brain was telling him. But his heart was telling him something else, he didn't know if it was because all his life, he was inspired by his number one hero All Might. Who just under a hour ago told him he couldn't be a hero without a quirk. Or because maybe it was simply the right thing to do.

As Midoriya ran out of the crowd. past the three pro heroes, and the hot flames towards the villain who tried to take over his body earlier that day. He could hear the shouts of the crowd and the pro heroes telling him too come back

"NO YOU IDIOT, YOUR GONNA GET YOURSELF KILLED!" One pro hero yelled while reaching out to him

" Not this brat again" the sludge villain said with irritation

"Deku?" Bakugo weakly said as he tiredly looked at him with the one eye that wasn't covered by sludge

As Midoriya was closing the gap between him and the giant, grey sludge villain, his mind was racing

"What am I doing? Why am I running? WHY CANT I STOP?" Izuku screamed in his mind

"Your toast kid!" The sludge villain yelled while preparing to attack

"What do I do? What would a hero do right now? Midoriya questioned

As he was getting closer to the villain who was holding bakugo inside of him, his mind suddenly flashed back to his hero notebook which kept all of the information he had on pro heroes and quirks.

"Page 25! Right!" Midoriya thought loudly

As Midoriya picked up a little more speed, he then took off his school backpack before throwing it right at the sludge villains face causing him to yell in pain and lose focus on Midoriya and his hostage giving bakugo the chance to wiggle his face out of the sludge villain's hold to gain the air that he desperately needed to breath in

"KACCHAN!" Midoriya screamed as he pounced on the villain and began too scratch and tear at the sludge

"WHAT THE HELL? WHY ARE YOU HERE?" Bakugo screamed at Midoriya

"I DONT KNOW? MY LEGS….THEY JUST..STARTED..MOVING!!!" Midoriya yelled in paused responses

As Midoriya continued too tear at the sludge with his fingernails. Back at the crowd that was watching in horror, a very skinny man that looked like a skeleton, with messy blond and dark shallow blue eyes was watching the whole scene unfold.

"Kacchan….I couldn't just stand there and watch you die…" Midoriya cried out as tears started to form in his green eyes

The skeleton mans face turned into shock as he heard this, seemingly hitting him down to the very core as if a spark was lit. This skeleton man who usually no one would bat a eye too was secretly the number one hero All Might, the symbol of peace

About an hour ago he rescued the same green haired boy from the same sludge villain he was attacking, it was also when he revealed his true form to the boy and told him that he couldn't be a hero without a quirk, he felt bad of course but it was better to wake people up from a impossible dream then to keep them living in it.

But yet here he was. Watching helplessly, unable to do anything as the same quirkless boy he told couldn't be a hero was doing exactly that…….being a hero

He felt like a failure, a weakling, a hero unable to save people

"GET THE HELL OFF MEEEE" bakugo roared at the sludge villain

"I have to do s-something…" All Might grunted as he slowly started to bulk up

"No matter the cost!"

"Just a little longer kid" the sludge villain frightening said

"AND THEN IM DONE PLAYING WITH YOU" the sludge villain claimed as he reached out too grab Midoriya

" SAVE THE BOY! THIS THING WILL KILL HIM" one of the pro heroes yelled as all three of them started to charge towards the boy too save him

As all might's eyes widened when he realized he didn't have enough time to bulk up into his muscular form to save Izuku and at the fact that the three pro heroes wouldn't make it on time to the boy before he would be killed by the villain

With out warning. Two Blue blurs appeared out of seemingly no where as one scooped up Midoriya in time right before the sludge villain was about to grab him, while the other blue blur presumably jumped up towards the sludge villain's arm and cut it straight off in one swift stroke.

The sludge villain then cried out in pain as he reeled his arm back while the part that was cut off dropped to the ground.

The three pro heroes came to a halt as they were stunned about what just happened with the crowd behind them also seemingly confused on what just transpired

All Might had a look of shock on his face as he was also confused on what happened before his very eyes, His eyes scanned around the area before Midoriya appeared out of no where in front of the officers with widespread eyes

All might was now even more confused because he thought Midoriya didn't have a quirk because he told him that he was quirkless.

That's what All might thought before he's eyes landed on a second person right beside him.

"Wh-what the?"All might asked in disbelief

Right besides Midoriya was a small person who looked like a blue…….porcupine? Midoriya's savior had porcupine like quills coming off the being's head and back, he had green eyes, with a peach belly, mouth, and arms, the porcupine was wearing white gloves and red shoes with a white pattern to them. The strange porcupine was saying something to Midoriya as he handed him an blue backpack.

"A-A mutant type quirk?" All Might asked himself

"But how was he so fast then?". All might asked again

Suddenly from a few feet away, the second blue blurs stopped as it was revealed to be someone who looked a lot similar who also only wore white gloves and red shoes like Midoriya's savior, the only difference was that with this porcupine like person was that instead of green eyes, he had black pupils, his body shape was also a lot rounder, and the color of his fur was a lighter shade of blue that looked a lot like the color of the sky.

"Another one?" All might asked as the crowd, the pro heroes, and the sludge villain turned their attention too the mysterious two blue blurs.

5 Minutes Earlier

Currently both Sonics were running at high speeds too the direction of the smoke as they were dodging and weaving in between cars and trucks

Soon they were a good 200 feet away before modern sonic spoke

"Sonic! Let's get the height advantage on top of that building up ahead and see what we're dealing with here! Sonic yelled out too his past self

He was met with a nod as both he and he's younger self ran up the side of a building before coming too a stop on the roof as he slid with he's feet while classic sonic dug he's heels into the ground skidding across the rooftop.

"Ok! Let's see what the ruckus is all about!" sonic said as he walked with he's younger self to the edge of the roof to get a good vantage of the situation.

Both Sonic's eyes widened at the event in front of them.

Down below was what appeared too be in the middle of a market on fire was a giant blob of grey sludge with big wide yellow eyes and a horrific smile plastered on its face, about 25 feet away we're three strange looking individuals in strange looking costumes. Further away from them were a bunch of police officers barricading an crowd of anxious looking citizens from getting any where closer. Behind the crowd appeared to be a 100 ft lady wearing a skintight suit with horns?

"Well there's something you don't see every day!" Sonic quipped

Classic sonic then noticed something weird about the sludge monster as it looked like explosions were happening within it, he then spotted a puff of blond hair sticking out of the monster, he was confused for a moment before realizing what he was looking at was a person! He quickly got the attention of his older self and then pointed towards the puff of blond hair.

"H-huh? Do you see something?" Sonic asked his younger self

Classic Sonic ferociously nodded as he jumped up and down while continuing to point at the blond headed boy trapped inside the sludge monster.

"Oh-OH! That's a person in there!" Sonic pointed

Classic sonic put a hand over his head in relief after getting his future self to spot he boy

"Okay, so I think it's pretty obvious that big gray pile of vomit is a villain, and that those three costumed guys are some of the pro heroes that the squid lady told us about" sonic stated as classic sonic gave him a thumbs up as a response

"But if those are the heroes, then why are they just standing around and not doing anything?" Sonic questioned

Classic sonic put a finger to his chin as he looked up to the sky in thought.

As both Sonics were thinking, they were interrupted as a loud explosion was heard from the scene as the boy trapped in the sludge villain screamed

"LET ME GO YOU BASTARD!"

"Okay that's it! Those so called heroes aren't going to do anything about it, so it's time we took matter into our own hands!" Sonic frustratingly said as he turned to his classic self

"You ready buddy?"

he was met with a confident nod as both Sonics prepared too jump down to intervene.But before they could, a green haired boy managed to get past the police officers and ran out of the crowd and past the costumes individuals towards the sludge monster.

This surprised both Sonics causing them to not jump down yet, as the green haired boy threw his backpack at the villain's face stunning the sludge monster for a second before pouncing on the villain and started to tear at it, trying to free the boy. Both Sonics watched with wonder in their eyes as they saw the boy rip and slash at the sludge with his bare hands trying to free the boy trapped within. As the Sonics watched, modern sonic watched as the sludge villain began to reach out to the boy, with fear in his eyes modern turned to his classic self.

"It's now or never!" Sonic said

Right after classic turned his attention to modern sonic and gave him a smile, both Sonics then jumped down to the chaos below, almost instantly as they landed, both blurs took off at insane speeds towards the green haired boy, right before the sludge arm could grab him, modern sonic managed too tackle the boy out of the way, as they both tumbled forward and came to a stop out of sight of everyone behind one of the shop stands of the market.

Just when sonic tackled the green haired kid out of the way of the villain's hand, Classic sonic jumped towards the villain's arm and curled into a ball midair, unearthing his spiked quills as he chopped right through the sludge arm instantly before landing by sliding too a stop.

An cry of pain was heard from the villain as classic sonic zoomed away too the stand that his future self and the boy landed behind, before he was spotted.

As modern sonic groaned while getting up, he looked down to the kid he just saved who was now looking at him with with wide, shocked, green eyes.

"Hey, are you alright?" Sonic asked

Before he could respond a second blue blur stopped right behind sonic which was his past self.

The green haired kids eyes somehow got even wider as his mouth was wide open.

"Hey? Are you ok in there?" Sonic asked while snapping his fingers

this seemed to snap the kid out of what ever trance he was in

"H-Huh? Oh? Y-Yea I'm o-o-ok" the kid said while shivering

"Good to hear!" Sonic said like their was nothing wrong with the world

"w-who are you guys?" The green haired boy asked

"are y-you pro heroes?"

"I'm Sonic! Sonic the Hedgehog!" Sonic proudly said

"As for my little bro here? He's name is uh…umm…uhhh MAURICE! He's name is Maurice! Maurice the Hedgehog!" Sonic said as he made up a fake name for his "little brother" on the spot because he couldn't really say he's name was sonic as well.

Hes younger self wanted to give his older self a slap on the back of the head for giving him such a ridiculous name but decided against it.

"And as for your second question, yeah! I guess you could say we're pro heroes!" Sonic claimed

"R-Really? B-But you s-sound and look t-too you-"

before he the young teenager could finish speaking, sonic cut him off

"Here's the deal buddy! I'm going to run you over to the nice police officers over there while me and my little bro here deal with the big, scary sludge monster over there. Got it!" Sonic asked

Not even giving him time to respond, sonic grabbed onto the green haired kids school uniform and ran him over too the police officers that were currently keeping the freaked out crowd in check. The police officers became startled after the reappearance of the green haired boy, before sonic turned around to confront the sludge villain, he quickly remembered something.

"Oh yeah! Hey kid can you do a favor for me?" Sonic asked

"U-um yeah! S-sure, what is it?" He asked

"Can you hold onto this for me?" sonic asked as he took off the blue, dirty, backpack he was carrying which contained the chaos emeralds, and handed it too the disheveled kid.

"O-oh um ok! Yeah sure!" The green haired boy replied

"Thanks!" Sonic yelled out as he ran too classic sonic who was currently having a stare down with the sludge villain who he had just chopped off his arm. Modern sonic then lifted a finger and pointed it at the villain

"Okay sludge boy! How about you take the easy way and give up, and to let the boy go and just turn yourself in! Sonic asked with a not so serious tone as classic sonic balled a fist out towards him

"What the hell are you two supposed to be? Blue rats? "the sludge villain asked in confusion

"BLUE RATS?"Sonic angrily screamed

"HECK NO! We're hedgehogs!" Sonic stated correctly

"Well then hedgehogs, you'll pay dearly for that stunt you pulled earlier" the sludge villain said while lifting up the arm that Classic sonic chopped off

"Oh I'm sorry, but I missed the part where that's our problem" sonic roasted while classic Sonic snickered behind him

this seem too tick off the villain as he shot multiple long strands of sludge at the two Sonics, as both hedgehogs jumped out of way and took off like rockets towards the grey villain. The sheer speed at which the two hedgehogs were going at caught the villain and everyone else who was watching off guard as the blue blurs struct the sludge villain with two powerful fists only to bounce right off and be sent back flying where they originally took off as they landed on there backs

" HAHAHA, you two have have some powerful quirks but their nothing compared too mine" the villain boldly claimed

"Oh Yeah? Well at leave we don't sound like a broken voice speaker!" Sonic quipped as both sonics then started to run around the sludge villain

the villain growled before summoning multiple grey like tendrils from all around his body trying to hit the now two blue blurs, unfortunately for him he could not hit either hedgehog as they were dodging, jumping while doing tricks, and sliding under the gray like tendrils.

"Your too slow!" Sonic called out too the villain meanwhile classic sonic stopped abruptly in front of the villain's face before sticking his tongue at him and then sped away before he could get crushed. The villain roared in anger as he continued trying to hit the speedsters only for each attempt too end in failure.

Bach with the crowd, they were watching the whole thing in awe,

"Wow! Their quirks are fast!" A man with wings said

"There really adorable!" One girl said

"Shouldn't they leave this too the pros though?" Another girl asked

"No way! Can't you see they got this in the bag!" A young kid with a fish tail and fins said

Midoriya wasn't listening too the crowd though as he was too encapsulated in the action in front of him

"They're…..so amazing!" Midoriya thought

Back with the fight, the sludge villain was getting more and more tired as the heat from the fire around them and from overusing his quirk in trying to hit the two fast hedgehogs

"Don't…. You two…. Ever… get tired!" The sludge villain asked in paused breaths as he was breathing pretty heavily. He now looked like if you dropped your ice cream on a hot summers day, he was starting to lose his hold on the boy he had held hostage, which didn't go unnoticed by modern sonic. He gained his youngsters self attention by waving over to him

"I think he's starting to lose his hold over that kid" sonic stated

"I'll try distracting him while you go and pull the kid out, got it?" Sonic asked

Classic sonic gave his future self a thumbs up as modern sonic started to taunt the villain

" Hey sludge boy! I'm right here! Come and get me!" Sonic said as he did a little dance

"Arggh why you!" the sludge villain frustratingly said as he tried to grab the hedgehog with multiple tendrils only to fail as sonic simply side stepped them

"OLAY" sonic yelled out as he sidestepped another tendril like he was dodging a bull

this angered the sludge villain to the point where he didn't even notice Classic sonic sneaking up in front of him to grab the blond boy out

"Who the hell are you?" The blond boy shouted

classic sonic decided too ignore him as he started to pull on the blond boys loose arm, getting the picture, the blond boy started to try and wiggle out becoming a tad bit looser, using his quirk, he let out a massive explosion that send him flying out of the sludge villain's body with classic sonic landing on top of him.

"UGH GET OFF OF ME" he yelled while pushing Classic sonic off of him

the young sonic got back up before scowling at the boy who he had just saved as he took off to his future self

"Good Job! Now that you got boom boy free! We don't have too hold back our speed anymore!"

Classic sonic snickered at the nick name that sonic gave to the explosive kid who he had just saved

Meanwhile the sludge villain had a look of terror on his face when he heard the words "hold back"

Immediately both sonic took off at sub sonic speeds in a circle around the villain parallel too each other

Within ten seconds two sonic booms were heard as a miniature tornado started to form

The green haired kid, the explosion kid, the pro heroes and the rest were watching with tons of shock on there face as the fires around were immediately put out due to the winds caused by the small tornado, the giant lady with horns was momentarily blocking the strong winds from possibly blowing away any of the citizens

At the epicenter of the cyclone, the sludge villain was trying to think of something to do as pieces of him were starting to get sucked into the air

"H-Hey w-wh-what's happening to m-me?" The sludge villain asked as his voice shook with fear,

"N-No! It Can't end like this! Nooooooo!!" The sludge villain screamed

it was too late though because soon the villain was torn apart by the winds of the tornado. As soon as both Sonics stopped running the tornado dispersed sending all of the parts of the villain around the area in messy blobs.

"We did it little bro! High five!" Sonic said while reaching his hand to him

classic sonic gave his future self a high five as the two of them did a victory dance

the next thing the two of them knew was that were quickly surrounded by the pro heroes giving the both of them nasty glares.
