Mina found herself getting strangely used to the new scenario she was in. It probably helped to have a (technically) familiar face in the form of a rabbit Izuku to help fill her in. But there was one thing that was throwing her off. It was the main reason she was in the back of the line of Sonic, Izuku and her as they ran through the glittery, quartz-made caverns. Her acid was acting up.
It was still acid yes. But now…she was struggling to control it. When she first tried to skate on her acid, she output way too much acid and nearly hit Izuku, with what should've been very, very, very non-acidic acid. It went straight through multiple walls at once. It did not stop from what she saw and now she's worried the core of this "Little Planet" may be in danger. Even now, the weakest acid she could make was leaving an eroded trail of destruction behind her travel, she could've sworn she say a puddle of it turn into spikes when a badnik startled her. She was worried. Her acid's power was being completely chaotic.
"Mina, you okay? Are you still bothered by almost hitting me?" Izuku asked, through a worried glance backward, along with his ears drooping.
"N-No! M-Maybe…yes." They hopped over some gaps, and on to some springs before managing to score some shields.
"I-Is your quirk acting up too?" Mina asked. Izuku sucked his teeth, and looked forward for a second. Remembering however overwhelming and painful just using 5% of One for All. The vestiges themselves, he was seeing them briefly even now in shadows and reflections. Their forms were...all hazy again. But not as these sorts of humanoid mists, as these barely humanoid flurries of shadow. He would've been scared had they not irradiated so much confusion at their situation.
"…yyyyyyess." He answered hesitantly, drawing out the Y. He could vaguely tell which of the past users each shadow was by eye colors. But sometimes they would try to appear to him at once and would just form as a mashed together shadow of glowing eyes and limb-like extensions. Strangely enough, All Might's visage never tried to appear. Maybe its because All Might hasn't died before passing on OFA?
Speaking of the previous No.1 Hero, he woke up in a very…peculiar place. It was some kind of…metallic speedway. Also, he was lying on the ground. He groaned as he got up, feeling stiff and like his body was weird. His head whipped around when he heard a squeak and then a coughing fit. There, tied to a pole was a little pink hedgehog. Judging it by human standards, she was only about 10! He rushed over, shockingly quick and ran into the pole the young girl was tied to.
"Ow. That's weird…I didn't use One for All." Toshinori said, thinking the part about One for All to himself. The girl looked at him worried.
"A-Are you okay?" Toshinori shook his head, wondering how he just heard her. Is she like Nezu, except with a quirk like Mandalay?
"YES, I AM YOUNG LADY!" Toshinori said using his more boisterous hero voice. He wouldn't want to make someone worry that the No.1 was losing his touch. The girl put a finger to her lips in a harsh tone, shushing him.
"SHHHH! That metalhead might come back!" She…thought? At him. Toshinori quickly understood. He didn't know who said metalhead was, but they were clearly responsible for the girl's current situation.
"Understood." He reached up and began to untie the girl…when he realized that the arm she used to shush him had broken through most of the ropes to reach her mouth.
"Clearly, she's stronger than she thinks…" Toshinori thought to himself. He simply removed the remaining ropes holding up the girl and now held her with his own hands.
"Y'know, you're a REALLY big bunny! I didn't know bunnies could get so tall!" The hedgehog said to him. Toshinori chuckled at the child's statement. He assumed she was referring to his hair, which resembled rabbit ears. He rubbed the underside of his nose, and was quickly concerned when he felt the texture of a glove. He didn't wear gloves. In fact, he could see his bangs right now so what was she referring to that made him rabbit-like?
"Y-Young lady, you wouldn't happen to have a mirror would you?" The pink hedgehog provided a small pocket mirror, decorated in cute stickers on the outside. He almost forgot what he was using it for at the adorable little display. When he flicked open the mirror, he tried his hardest not to scream so that the little girl wouldn't panic, and so that the villain that had captured her wouldn't be alerted.
He was now a freakin' HUGE blonde rabbit with a white heart-shaped patch of chest fur. He wore white gloves, and primarily red, white, and blue sneakers. He was very built, resembling himself in his prime! In fact, he felt like he was in his prime, maybe a bit younger! He handed back the mirror and felt his abdomen. The scar is gone. Due to new instinct, he repressed the urge to literally jump in joy. Though it was weird he was only wearing gloves and shoes though. He coughed into his hand and then turned back to the girl.
"Alright young lady! Let's get out of here! But may I know your name? It'd make calling you easier." Toshinori said as he began to leave the area in a jogging pace.
"I'm Amy, Amy Rose! Sonic's soon-to-be girlfriend!" The girl proclaimed with hearts in her eyes. Toshinori laughed, adoring the girl's crush.
"Well then, nice to meet to meet you Young Rose!" Toshinori said, the girl giggled at the nickname. As they jumped down from a platform, the girl pointed to the right and said something.
"Wait! Go that way! I need to find Sonic!" Amy called out. Toshinori gave little argument, perhaps this 'Sonic' was a hero in this place.
The trio were now finishing up in Quartz Quadrant, passing the exciting little goal post that Izuku still put himself into coughing fits to try and explain.
"I-I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but it's just-hOW?! The other side of that thing was blank! Then the picture moved a bit and shot out little particles?!" Izuku asked, thoroughly confused yet excited.
"Dude just don't worry about it." Sonic said casually, walking off further into the entrance to what looked like a laboratory.
WACKY WORKBENCH
The group stepped into the cold grey laboratory, as machines whirred around them. Sparking, clanging, and beeping could be heard all around.
