Chapter 8: Aftermath Part 2
Picking up after the end of the last chapter.
"Um. How much of my routine did you see by any chance?" asked Izumi, as she stood there in the rink. Trying not to act like she had stage fright, from them seeing her routine.
"We pretty much saw the whole thing." Said Midnight, from where she was standing, "And I have to say, I was really impressed by it. And did you always have a natural talent for skating?" As she gained a smile on her face, from seeing the routine.
"I kind of discovered it. After I graduated from Alfea. While I was staying with Bloom on her and Roxy's version of earth." Said Izumi, still had a bit of stage fright. But was calming down from it. "I thought, I should take up a few hobbies to waste my time."
"Interesting." Said Nezu, from where he was sitting on someone's shoulder. "This has given me an idea for the sports festival." As he took a sip of his tea.
"May I please know. As to what your idea is going to be?" Asked Izumi, with her getting a feeling about the idea, that was in Nezu's head. As she skated over to where she could leave the rink. That she had made. While her former fellow UA students chatted in the background about Izumi's performance.
"Well. With the sports festival coming up. And I was thinking, if you and your friends would like to perform, during the event." Said Nezu, making everyone look at him in shock.
Taking a deep breath. "May I talk this over with them? Before we give you our decision." Asked Izumi, while thinking how she was going to explain this to the rest of the winx.
"Of course, you may." Said Nezu, before he turned to the students. "I think it's time for all of you to go back to sleep. Considering that all of you have to either teach or classes tomorrow." Getting groans from everyone. "You may continue to ask Izumi questions tomorrow. While you're having breakfast and before you students have to head to class." Which got him a bored yay, from the students. "Just this once. I'm going to allow you to start your classes late. Due to the fact, you all are sharing rooms." Which got cheers from the students. Before everyone started heading back to what they were doing. Before they came to watch Izumi figure skating.
"Can someone please tell me! How did I wind up here!?" Said Present Mic, from where he was still sitting at the commentary booth, with Zing. Since he was still failing to understand how he wound up there in the first place. While Zing wiggled her eyebrows, in a way that said trade secret.
"Mic. Can you do everyone a favor and please be quiet." Said Aizawa, as he walked back to where he was originally sleeping. Before coming out to see what was going on.
Earlier, while those who were watching Izumi skate. We see a person hiding the bushes, on the phone with someone. Though you could clearly see the regret on his face and even the nervousness in his voice. Talking about Izumi and even brought up the fact that fairies actually exist. That the person on the other end could not believe. What he was hearing, even though his Lie Detector Quirk was telling him, that he was telling the truth.
"Well, then… I just might have to pay this Izumi a visit in the near future." Said the voice, over the phone. "Along with maybe taking this Quirk of hers." As he gained an evil grin on his face. Before he started laughing, over the phone. While the person could only gulp, at the thought of what he had just done.
"What have I done?" was the thought that ran through the person's head. As he could only gulp at the situation.
We are currently finding Izumi and everyone heading back towards where they were staying for the night. When Toru noticed Yuga walking towards them.
"Hey, Yuga!" Said Toru, causing Yuga to jump and start acting nervous. As he began to look around, before turning to face Toru. "What are you doing out this late?"
"He's acting awfully nervous. I wonder, what happened to cause this change in behavior?" Thought Izumi, as she brought her hand to her chin and began eyeing Yuga, with questions in her head. Before she filed, this information away for later use.
"Oh, you know. Came outside to get some fresh air." Said Yuga, trying not to be noticed. Which only one person noticed.
"Oh ok, night, Yuga." Said Toru, as she started up the stairs.
"Yeah, night." Said Yuga, as he nervously made his way back to the room the boys were staying in.
"Oh, before we forget. Could you please pass along a message to the rest of the boys?" Asked Toru, getting a nod from Yuga. "To tell them that Nezu decided to let us start UA later than our usual time. Due to all of us sharing a bathroom and then needing to eat breakfast." Yuga nodded again, making sure to pass along the message.
The next morning, everyone was woken up by Iida being his usual self. Though it was quickly taken care of by Izumi, with a frying pan. That had the words (In case of someone being too loud in the morning.) on it. Which she used to hit him over the head with it. Before she explained to them, that Nezu had said that they'll be starting classes late due to them using the rooms. Since it'll take them a while to get ready for the day. Since they were sharing a room.
Before she turned back to the room, where her group was staying, minus the specialists. They were in another room.
Kirishima stared at the bump on Iida's head. "Man. Since when did she grow a spine?" Asked Kirishima, before turning to look at Izumi and noticed that she was still standing there.
"Since I had to put up with a loud and fashion obsessed roommate for 8+ years. So, I had to come up with ways to get her to be quiet or focus on her homework." Said Izumi, as she crossed her arms, still holding the frying pan. While the students from Class 1A could only nod understanding, where Izumi was coming from. Since they had to put up with Iida the most. "You may want to continue getting ready. Since Aizawa dislikes it, when students are late. Even though Nezu approved of you taking your time to get ready, this morning. In case Aoyama didn't fill you in this morning." Before she took another look at Iida and saw that Iida was going to be out for a while. Then she shook her head, before she started heading back.
Eventually everyone had finished getting ready for the day. Which had a few comedic events happen. Which the students, who could overhear them, could only sweatdrop at Izumi's situation and they had to ask themselves. How did she even put up with this for 8 years and not go crazy in some way?
Meanwhile in Recovery Girls office. We currently find Ryukyu and Fat Gum, feeling like they had been run over by a freight train, going at its slowest speed. While Sir Nighteye had a bandage covering his leg. Due to where Recovery Girl had hit him with her cane, for letting the 2 get so drunk, after he had returned to U.A.
Currently, Recovery Girl is calling Ryukyu and Fat Gum's Agencies and telling them. Ryukyu and Fat Gum may be returning the next day. Since they were recovering from getting drunk due to yesterday's events. Which caused their sidekicks to ask "Why?" Which Recovery Girl replied, that it might be better. If the hero that they're working under explains their reason for getting drunk, in the first place.
Then Nighteye and Recovery Girl were brought out of what they were doing. When they heard Ryukyu empty a bit of her stomach. Before sighing and thinking the same thought, "That this was going to be a long day."
They were completely unaware that the next few days were going to be even longer. With the chaos, that was going to unfold.
Eventually the students, along with everyone that came with the Winx, had finished getting ready for the day. And were currently sitting down for breakfast, in the U.A. cafeteria. Talking about random things.
When Zing brought up some of the things that Izumi had brought back with her. From her travels across the Magical Dimension. Which Izumi was kind enough to Requip a few bookshelves. That contained everything from photo albums to gifts that were given to her. Which Izumi was kind enough to walk over and grabbed a photo album from the shelf.
"I think, for our upcoming students. Who want to become fairies?" Said Izumi, as she walked back to the table. "Especially considering it might be better to show them. What their future forms will look like. Though they won't be the same as ours." As she hands the album to Momo. Then proceeds to walk back to the shelf and grab another album. Before handing it to the students to look at. "Though I would like to have the albums back. Before you need to head to class.
They continued having breakfast, until Momo saw a picture of the Winx in their Harmonix. Then she had a sense of déjà vu.
"Um, Izumi can I ask you a question?" asked Momo, from where she was sitting.
"Sure. What is it?" Asked Izumi, from where she was sitting.
"Why do you and your friends? Look like the fairies that saved me and my family, 3 years ago?" Asked Momo, causing a few of the students to do a spit take. For not making the connection, in the first place.
"Truth, be told Momo. Yes, we are those fairies, that appeared 3 years ago." Said Izumi, causing another round of spit takes and one choking on their breakfast. Once everything had calmed down. "You see, Momo. 3 years ago, we were on a quest for Sirenix. And we had to complete it in one lunar cycle or we would lose our magic." Causing them to gasp at the info. While Inko looked like she was ready to faint. "Unfortunately, it was my turn for the quest. It was also one of the few times I was able to open a portal. And get us where we need to go." Causing the students, including Aizawa and Vlad King to have their jaws on the ground, due to the info. Though Nezu was laughing for not connecting the dots together. That was dropped on them. Momo was shocked and didn't even know. How to find the correct words, to tell Izumi. Thanks for saving her life. Then the realization hit them, about the Winx.
Then the scene quickly changes to the outside of U.A.
Where a loud "Ehhhh!" was heard all over U.A. Causing the students that were in class to cover their ears or students sticking their fingers in the ear, hoping to alleviate the pain in their ears.
Back in the U.A. cafeteria. Awkward silence fell over the entire U.A. cafeteria, with everyone staring at the Winx.
"Truth be told, my parents. Have been looking for the fairy, who saved my life. Along with the rest of the fairies, who were there that day." Said Momo, breaking the awkward silence. That had settled across the cafeteria. Other than Inko's crying and turning the cafeteria into an ocean.
"And truth be told. I didn't even recognize you. Due to how old you were, at the time." Said Izumi, through the volume of her mother's crying. "Also ignore Stella. She'll be rambling for a while about how famous we are." Sighing in a not so surprised voice. "But, may we continue the conversation later. Because the teachers and the principal are here now." Causing everyone to turn around and see the teachers of class 1a and 1b. Along with the principal Nezu, standing there chuckling for not putting together the connections between the Winx and the fairies from 3 years ago.
"It seems, we've been found out." Said Nezu, as he continued chuckling, "Now, then everyone. I think it's time for the students to finish their breakfast and get to class. And it's time for my meeting with the Winx, about some things." Getting a nod from the students. Who began to finish their breakfast, before they started making them to class.
As soon as the students were on their way to their classrooms. Nezu began guiding his group to his office to talk about some things.
"So, what did you want to talk to us about?' asked Roxy, as they walked into Nezu's office.
"Well, I wanted to talk to all of you about the upcoming sports festival." Said Nezu, as he got into his chair. "But I would also like to talk about where you're going to live here at UA And what kind of building you would like built?" Getting an oh from everyone in the room.
"First off. Izumi, I know that you're older than the rest of the students." Getting a nod from Izumi. "But I would like you to participate in it. As well as provide some additional security." Said Nezu, as he looked at Izumi. "The second thing, I would like to extend an invitation to the rest of the Winx parents to come and watch the sports festival." Causing the Winx to drop their jaws, at the invitation that Nezu was extending,
"May we talk to our parents first?" Asked Aisha, unable to respond to the invitation, that was being extended.
"Certainly. I'm in no hurry for a response." Said Nezu, before he turned to Izumi. "Now the reason, I want Izumi to participate in the upcoming UA Sports Festival." As Izumi turned her attention to Nezu. "I want to not only let the world know. That our missing student has been found. But to also introduce our world's own Guardian Fairy." As Izumi nodded understanding, where this was going. "If you say, yes, to the UA Sports Festival. And I would like you to give the speech for the freshman this year." Causing Izumi to think about it.
"May I think about this? And may I give a few suggestions for the Sports Festival." Said Izumi, as she sat there. Before she clutched her head with her right hand, as she began having a vision. Where she saw Momo losing to Tokoyami. Followed by seeing Ochako vs Bakugo. Before there was a bright light and saw Ochako with her Winx. And in both visions, she saw herself sitting, with Midnight. As the visions ended, she saw everyone looking at her.
"Are you okay, Midoriya?" Asked Nezu, concerned for Izumi's health.
"I'm fine. It's just that I had a vision of the future. Where I saw the next set of events happen." Said Izumi, calming down. "First off, Nezu. Before you say anything. My visions of the future. Tell me the outcome of what needs to happen. But I have to figure out how to get there." Getting a nod from Nezu. "Please do not push the subject. Okay?"
"Certainly." Said Nezu, from where he was sitting. "Now, what are these ideas of yours?"
"Well may I participate in certain events." Said Izumi, getting a nod from Nezu. Who was understanding where Izumi was going with this. "And another idea is for events like the Cavalry Battle. Where we could have some students running around. This will force the students to watch how they will handle the situation with civilians running around. While the selected students get a free trip to the final event." Now giving Nezu something to think on, for the Sports Festival.
"What marvelous ideas. Give me some time to come up with a list for what events that you can participate in." Said Nezu, as Izumi really got him thinking. "Now, on to the next thing I want to talk about. Which is where you'll be living on the UA campus."
Which they started brainstorming ideas for. Where they settled on an idea of a layout similar to Alfea. Which would have an area for everyone to mess around in. Where the Winx, Inko, Eri, Pixies, and pets would be staying in the main building. That would be built for the time building, along with a wall and gate for some privacy as well. With additional buildings being built, if they needed to be built, if the space was needed. Though they agreed on whether any magical students would be staying on the campus. Additional dorm spaces would be built. Along with some walk ways to connect 3 buildings.
Then to wrap up the meeting. Nezu decided to ask Izumi if she was bullied by any chance. Which Izumi replied, with a yes too. With the Winx saying that Miss Faragonda had to bring in someone to help her. Since Izumi was nearly broken too. Followed by Izumi telling Nezu that if he's planning to do an investigation. Not to target Bakugo, but their middle school. Since they allowed him to get away with his behavior. Since they refused to do anything after his temper flared for the hundredth time and broke a number of rules on the school's grounds. Along with allowing her to be bullied by the other students as well. In other words, Izumi was telling Nezu to target the school, not the students. Which he understood and got a very clear understanding of the situation. Along with Izumi telling him not to expel Bakugo or it would alert their middle school. Which would cause them to play koi and then start doing what they did to Bakugo to another student. Which made Nezu really nod his head, as he began nodding his head. Putting together the bigger picture of what was going on.
Followed by Nezu asking Izumi. If it was possible for her to help with security for the Sport's Festival. Which Izumi replied that she would have to talk to her connections. Though she would have to think on which of her summons, that could help with security.
After the Winx, Eri, Inko, the Pixies, and the pets headed back to the Midoriya's apartment. Leaving Nezu to really think about the fact. That there was a possibility of corrupted students getting into the hero course. Which really began to not sit well with him.
Though they were unaware of the fact, that the day was only just beginning. With a major event, that was going to happen that afternoon. Along with the Winx making their grand debut in the world. Which would set off a chain of events to come.
Though before Inko, Izumi, the Winx, Pixies and the pets left to head back to the Midoriya's apartment. They bid a farewell to the Specialists, until a later day. Though they said, that they'll be back once their done packing to help them with their mission. With them saying, that they'll arrive sometime after they move to U.A. From there they parted ways, with the Specialists taking Timmy's portal. While the rest headed back to the Midoriya's apartment via the Winx Zoomix Wings, with Inko saying that she'll never get used to teleporting via magic.
Later that day, Shoto was just getting home. When Fuyumi ran up to him and passed along a message telling him that their father was waiting for him in the training.
So here, he was standing outside the training room, with his father waiting inside for him.
As he opened the door. "It's about time, you got home and showed up. Now, we can start training for the UA Sports Festival." Said Endeavor, as he stood there looking at Shoto.
"I'm sorry. But due to outside circumstances I'm not allowed to use my Quirk. Until this device powers down. Which will designate that it's safe to use my Quirk." Said Shoto, as he revealed to Endeavor the wristband on his left arm. "And Recovery Girl said the same thing as well. And that was to not take off the wristband, Until my Quirk had stabilized.
"Excuses. We will start you training now!" Said Endeavor, as he reached for the device and tried to forcefully take the wristband off. Only to wind up damaging it. Which caused Shoto's Quirk to go completely out. While completely destroying the room and causing a ruckus at the same time.
Causing Fuyumi to run into the training room. When she noticed the place was starting to get hotter and colder at the same. Only for Shoto Quirk to lash out at her and launch her into the wall. While causing her own Quirk to go out of control. After she had hit the wall, that she had been launched into.
As for Endeavor, he began having flashbacks to the fire at Sekoto Peak. Along with the guilt and regret, that came with it, at the same time. As he began to have flashbacks to that day. For the first time since that day. Endeavor said, "What have I done?" with the look of horror on his face. As the windows cracked and shattered behind him. Letting Shoto's Quirk began affecting the entire area.
While civilians could only watch in horror or start running as the area. Began to become enveloped in fire and ice. While expanding at the same time.
(End of Chapter)
Man, what a mess things have turned into. Will the Winx be able to save the day? Due to the extreme environment. And will Endeavor, Shoto and Fuyumi survive long enough at the center of the storm? Well, I guess you'll just have to tune in, as the Elemental Hazard Arc begins.
