Enjoy!
Location:Bellwood,U.S.A
Time: 10:53pm.
Nighttime.
The inevitable period of darkness experienced everyday without fail by all creatures and things on Earth.
On this particular night, it was a full moon with countless stars in sight, and with no clouds to obstruct either, the beautiful glow of moonlight would shine down on the entire city, creating an ambiance of near midnight.
Streetlights are all on en masse,aiding in casting a warm glow on flagstone streets, their soft beams creating a gentle interplay of light and shadow. A phenomenon further accentuated by the numerous buildings and establishments, small or big time either shining brightly or dimly due to their varying number of lights and light bulbs,or not at all as their residents had retired for the night.
But it didn't matter much,as the general atmosphere created by the air carried a sense of calm and soothing, with occasional distant echoes of passing cars and the distant hum of nightlife from the city's heart. And with the city of Bellwood as peaceful as it could be, that wasn't set to change anytime soon. And as such, our story doesn't truly start here, but it is based on some of Bellwood's residents.
Residents who were far away from the city.
On a lonely road were the streets were filled with desert like sands, a couple who were sitting on a bench were conversing freely, taking much joy in each other's company. Just as the atmosphere between them had become more romantic, with both about to initiate the next obvious advancement,a muscle car colored blue and black would whoosh past them, much to their dismay as the wind blew their clothes fiercely,and it kicked up a speck of sand that nearly blinded them both, causing the now disgruntled male to stand up and heap incoherent curses on the fleeing driver.
''Kevin slow down will ya? we're not in an underground drag race" Said a 17 year old boy with a green jacket, black undershirt and blue jeans. The boy sat at the back seat of the car.
''Relax Tennyson, it's almost midnight. Roads are free because most folks are sleeping by now, so you got nothing to worry about." Said an 18 year old boy with a black top, And long grey undersleeve. This boy, now identified to be Kevin is also the person driving the car.
''If you include the fact that you're breaking every basic speed law in the process however,then there's something to worry about." Said a girl with red hair in a ponytail, along with a red long sleeved sweater and a black stockings under a black skirt. She sat at the passenger seat alongside Kevin and was also pouting, showing her displeasure with the way that Kevin was driving, causing the latter to look over to her, slightly perplexed before sighing.
''Aw c'mon Gwen, I'm just doing what's on everyone's minds, and that's getting us to HQ as quickly as possible to find out what's the big deal that Max was talking about." Said Kevin,as he tried to pacify her, but Gwen wasn't the least bit swayed.
''Doesn't mean that you should risk getting us in trouble with the law while doing so." Chimed the teenager In the back
''Thank you, Ben."Said Gwen partly out of gratitude and partly just to spite Kevin. And judging on the subsequent frown that formed on his face shortly after she spoke, she succeeded.
"Tch,fine...you win. I'll slow down." As he said this,the car's speed began to noticeably decrease until Kevin was now driving at a moderate speed.
''But don't start whining to me if the trip takes longer than usual." Quipped Kevin.
''No promises, Kev." Said Ben with a smirk that would fall almost as quickly as it formed, his expression a more thoughtful one.
''Though to be honest, I'm not too psyched about shelving our road trip though, especially with how tense these past few weeks have been. Would really like to take a break from it all." Said Ben to no one in particular as he looked outside the window.
This statement would make Kevin to raise an eyebrow in a mixture of confusion and suprise.
''Never thought I'd hear those words from your mouth before Tennyson." Admitted Kevin
''Me neither." Gwen added in agreement.
''But i understand. We've been through a lot, And a good vacation could go a long way. Grandpa Max understands that as well. I'm sure he wouldn't ask us to put our vacation on halt if it wasn't for something important."
''I hear that, especially seeing as how he couldn't tell us over our badges." Said Kevin, remembering how each of them was contacted individually to come to Plumber headquarters at night. He wasn't the least bit pleased with the news, but he trusted Max's judgement and thus, surprised both himself and his friends when he offered them a ride to Plumber base with no qualms. Rook was already with Max,so they all made a mental note to talk to him about what Max had in store for them.
''I know, it's just that, part of me wishes that this could have happened later." Said Ben, drifting away to his thoughts, making his his friends to worry a bit.
''Ben...are you alright?" Asked Gwen, now concerned.
''Nah, don't mind me, just pretty tired is all. Which is kinda your fault since you're the one who woke me up earlier." Said Ben with a bit of a chuckle. This statement was true, for as Gwen looked at him,she noticed some slight bags in his eyes, indicating fatigue.
''The Universe's greatest hero everybody. Cranky because he didn't get his beauty sleep" Teased Kevin.
''Last time I checked, you were just as guilty" Countered Ben with a small smile as he placed his left hand under his chin.
''If i remember correctly, there was a time when a convicted Heatblast felon went on a rampage, and we had to come get you. You were mumbling in your sleep, and didn't even wake up until five minutes later. Courtesy of some cold water,of course." By now, Ben's smile had widened into a barely concealed smirk.
''I did not.I woke up as soon as i heard you guys calling me" Kevin replied with mock hurt, causing Gwen to giggle.
'"C'mon Gwen, don't you believe?" Asked Kevin with mock sadness.
'' Kevin. I remember that scenario very well. You gotta admit though, you're pretty cute when you're sleeping." Said Gwen with a hint of amusement and sincerity.
"Aw, you're gonna make me blush." Said Kevin with amusement in an attempt to come off as cool and composed, though a faint shade of pink did briefly form on his cheeks,of which both cousins noticed.
''You know,for a guy who's always acting tough, you're pretty much a cinnamon roll." Said Ben, making both cousins to laugh and Kevin to sport a warm smile.
The atmosphere in the car became even more jovial,as their conversation, now more free spirited and laid back, incorporated constant quips and jokes,all to help take their mind off the long journey ahead, and it was working.
Under normal circumstances, they would have used the Rust bucket III, but seeing as how team "Alien Force" hasn't been active for sometime, the Rust Bucket III was left back at Plumber Headquarters, leaving them no choice bu to resort to Kevin's Car. Not that it bothered them anymore though, seeing as how they were all clearly enjoying each other's company.
Time:11:33Pm
The car was now in an abandoned military base with sheltered houses, empty bunkers, rusted vehicles, unmanned weapons, and various other things now relics of a not too distant past.
This is Los Soledad.
The car drove into a more secluded portion of the land, specifically inside a lone bunker much larger than the rest. And upon parking in the space in the middle of the vacant bunker, a mechanism beneath the car would suddenly bring it below the ground through an underground tunnel.
Several flashes of neon green lights would flash on the body of the car through this process, with it's occupants not even the least bit bothered.
After about a minute, the platform had come to a stop with it's descent, and stationed the car at a space colored green and white at all corners,and looked to be reinforced with the sturdiest of metals. But perhaps the most notable thing about this room was the large hollow green hourglass symbol plastered on the wall opposite them.
This is the garage of Plumber Headquarters.
The car would park itself besides vehicles both land and air that simply put, seemed to be out of this world. Not long after, the trio would step out of the car.
"Ladies and gentlemen,it would seem our night drive has come to an end with our destination now reached. Now i do hope that the journey an enjoyable one?" Asked Kevin with an obviously fake british accent as he stood beside his open drivers seat door.
''Oh but of course, my good man. As a matter of fact,I found the entire experience to be a blast" Said Ben in a similar fake british accent as he stood beside his closed back seat. A snicker would escape both of their lips right before it would become full om laughter.
Gwen, who had already closed the passengers seat and stood in front of the car shook her head seemingly in disappointment.
''Boys will be boys." Said Gwen with a smile before turning back to face the two.
''Come on guys, Grandpa Max must be waiting for us right now." Motioned Gwen before walking forward further.
''Right behind you, Gwen." Said Kevin in agreement before following suit along with Ben. They would walk through a door that opened at both sides and closed as the last person passed through it,now standing in a hallway leading to the main room of Plumber Headquarters.
From every corner, whether it be higher or lower floors or the very floor they stood on where plumbers of both humans and alien races from across this side of the milky way and beyond, greeting the trio as they advanced.
They would eventually come to a stop upon entering the main room, where a rather peculiar individual awaited them. He was tall in appearance,along with periwinkle blue coloured fur, along with black markings on his face. The middle of his face was white, and he also wore a very durable blue and black armor.
''Rook, sorry if we took so long to come here. We don't have the Rust bucket III with us at the moment,so we had to come with Kevin's car." Said Ben before gesturing for a handshake, to which the Individual now identified as Rook accepted.
''Rook, how's it going buddy?" Said Kevin as he gestured for a fist bump to which rook also accepted.
''Greetings,Ben, Kevin and Gwendolyn." Said Rook as he addressed the trio formally.
''Hey Rook." Said Gwen with a smile that Rook reciprocated.
''Good thing we ran into you first." Said Ben.
''And why would that be?" Asked Rook with curiosity.
''We thought it'd be best to ask you what's the emergency first. And seeing as how you came here ahead of us, I'm pretty sure you already know what." Answered Gwen.
''Ah yes." Said Rook, now fully understanding the situation.
''The reason as to why Magister Tennyson summoned you however, isn't that of an emergency, but rather a request." Explained Rook.
''A request huh? What kind?" Asked Kevin.
''I think it would be best if magister Tennyson were to elaborate more on that himself." Almost as if on cue, the door behind Rook would open, and walking out of it was an elderly man with a white shirt covered up with a red buttoned up hawaiian shirt with floral design. He also had a wrinkled face along with white Hair, and wore Brown pants along with black shoes.
Upon his arrival, the trio, especially the cousin's faces began to light up.
''Hey Grandpa Max" Said Ben with a cheerful smile. The man, now identified as Grandpa Max walked towards the trio and gave each of them a hug. And although uncomfortable at first, Kevin eventually eased up to the hug.
''It's good to see you kids." Said Max with a warm smile as he took close observations of each of them.
''You look pretty tired Ben. Didn't get enough sleep?" Asked Max, taking notice of the bags under his eyes.
''Yeah. But it's all good." Assured Ben as he let out a small yawn, much to the amusement of everyone present.
"Pretty sure you called to tell us something important though." Said Ben.
''Yes...i did" The smile on Max's face shifted just slightly, but still enough for Gwen to notice.
''What is it Grandpa?" Asked Gwen, with slight curiosity and concern.
Max would remain silent, choosing to look at all four of them, as if gauging whether he had their full attention. Upon discerning that he did, he would speak up, saying.
''It's about pro heroes. More importantly, pro heroes in the making."
And although slightly confused by his statement at first, the group would regain their bearings.
''Considering the pros are paid by the government to be well... heroes, and practically all the craze in Japan, I can't say i see there being any problems with the upcoming new gen heroes that might concern us." Said Ben with a shrug.
''I wouldn't necessarily call them heroes though." Said Rook with a blank expression, though his tone indicated that he was not too pleased about the subject matter.
''Why's that Rook?" Asked Gwen, wondering where he was going.
''From my studies and the understanding that I've come to formulate during my education under the plumbers, a hero is an individual, either man or woman, who puts their lives on the line for the well being of the masses, combating any form adversity without seeking any type of material or self gain in the process. It is an ideology that I've come to accept. And unfortunately, these "pro heroes" do not fit this ideology." Said Rook with absolute certainty.
''Got that right. Quite a bunch of them are just weirdos with powers who only care on appearances and fame. They ain't doing it for the people, but for themselves." Scoffed Kevin with a hint of disgust in his voice.
Ben said nothing to either support or challenge their statements though,as he remembered how the few pro heroes he had bothered to keep tabs on always put more effort into talk shows and camera poses for paparazzi than helping people. But he did also acknowledge that a good number of them were truly in it to use their unique gifts to help people. And he knew that he would have to look no further than the 10 greatest heroes in Japan, especially the number 1 amongst those ten to confirm that.
''You thinking of signing us up to get our pro hero licenses? Because if so, I can't really say we'd need them much." Mused Gwen.
"Or at all to be honest." Whispered Kevin.
''That's not it sweetheart. Admittedly the job i have for you all this time might be a bit far removed from what you're used to." Said Max with a sincere smile.
"How far removed are we talking?" Asked Ben with curiosity.
"You four have been given an official offer from U.A high." Stated Max.
Almost as if on the cue, the group save for Rook would blink in suprise.
"That was... pretty far removed not gonna lie." Admitted Ben.
"And i think i can guess where you're going with this." Added Kevin.
"Yep, you want us to enroll to U.A." Said Ben in agreement.
"Close Cuz, but not quite." Corrected Gwen.
"Really? Then what could it be?" Asked Ben.
"You want us to teach in U.A." Upon hearing those words, Ben and Gwen would look at Gwen, then Rook, then Max in stunned silence.
"Really/ For real?" Said Ben and Kevin in unison.
''That's right." Nodded Max, his smile even broader than before.
"How could you tell?" Kevin asked Gwen.
"Grandpa saying it's a request, then saying it's about the future pro heroes, added with all of us getting an offer from U.A, I'd say it's pretty obvious." Said Gwen in a manner of fact tone, impressing Rook with her astute deduction.
"Mmmmm... not really." Said Ben with a flat tone, causing Gwen to playfully flick his forehead.
"So what's the sitch? Why does U.A want us specifically? Cause I'm pretty sure they've got more than enough teachers." Mused Kevin.
''Last month, during a planned excursion of Class 1-A to the USJ training facility, they were attacked by a group that calls themselves 'The League of Villains". Explained Max.
''The league of villains huh? Sounds pretty corny to me." Said Kevin unimpressed.
''And pretty cliche" Added Ben.
''What motive could they have to attack a group of children ?" Asked Rook, whose question seemed to have spoken the lingering thought on everyone's mind.
''That's the thing,They weren't there for the children. They were there for someone else... All Might" A wave of shock and awe Immediately filled the eyes of the group upon hearing those words.
"The number 1 Pro?! This doesn't bode well." Said Ben with concern.
"Big guess as to why." Said Kevin rhetorically though his expression was stern.
''To kill him." Said Gwen darkly.
''Precisely. Word is the fight was a fierce one, with intense wind pressures and tremors rocking the building. At first, not much could be covered on exactly what could have caused that until one of the captured villains opened up about how there was a monster that was specifically designed to kill All Might." Said Max with subdued concern.
"The experience left quite the strong impression on some of the students and not from the better. That's where you four come in." As Max said this, his hand went to the side of a table he was standing beside.
He then tapped a button on it, causing the large monitor in the room, to come on. What was being displayed on the monitor completely took the teens off-guard, as they saw what appeared to be a mix of a dog,a mouse and a bear.
The individual's head resembled That of a mouse with circular black eyes,a large scar over the right eye, relatively square shaped ears with pink-pale insides slanting outside from the top of his head,and an elongated muzzle with a small round nose.
He has white fur and to establish the dog comparison,has similar paws with pink pads to that of one. He also has the tail of a cat. Perhaps the most surprising feature of the individual was that he was dressed in human clothing. He wore a white dress shirt,a dark red tie around his neck,a black double breasted waist coat and matching dress also wore orange lace-up sneakers. He also has a tail similar to a cat's.
''What the heck is that thing?" Asked a confused Kevin.
''Kevin, that thing has a name, and it's a he." Replied Max with a frown at Kevin's rudeness.
''Still not the strangest thing I've seen though." Said Ben more to himself.
''Mind telling us your name? i think it's a he."
Said Ben, directing his attention to the Individual on the screen.
''Of course." The individual said right before clearing it's throat.
''Greetings Maxwell Tennyson,or should i call you Magister? Along with Benjamin Tennyson and his associates.My name is Nezu, Principal of U.A High. I suspect that you may wondering how is it that i, an animal is able to you so fluently." The now identified Nezu began formally.
''Not actually, I'm just surprised that you can English so well since your based in Japan." Said Kevin with his arms folded.
''Ah yes,This is as a result of my Quirk:High Specs, that grants me an intelligence far superior to that of any human." Said Nezu , taking a brief pause in order to observe their postures and expressions to be sure that they were following. He then nodded his head in satisfaction over the fact that they were.
''With That aside,I apologise for contacting you on such short notice, especially since we haven't actually met before. I call on you, however for an urgent request. One that can very much help to change the lives of my student's for the better." Though the group already knew what it is he was implying, they opted to remain silent.
''As i am certain you already know, last Month, Class 1-A was attacked by The League of Villains, their sole motive being to kill ''The Symbol of Peace." Began Nezu stoically.
''We knew that already,so what's that got to do with us?" Said Kevin, only to be elbowed by Gwen, who then gestured to him to be quiet. Nezu however took notice of this display, and said emphatically.
''You are quite correct, Kevin Levin,this matter is not one of direct concern to you and your group as it occurred just a few months ago..." Nezu suddenly stopped, almost as if anticipating a question or an interruption of sorts.
''I would have asked how you know my name, but i think i have an idea."Muser Kevin, causing Nezu to smile even more, knowing that his prediction was spot-on.
''Indeed, as i had already conversed with Magister Tennyson before seeking your attention,so i know all your names. Now if you would be so kind as to let me continue..." He said, looking directly at Kevin
''Alright, Carry on Mr Fuzzball" Said Kevin with his arms in the air in sign of defeat.
''Although i would prefer if you would call me Mr Nezu,i appreciate your understanding. Back to where i was, the Raid of USJ, the actual building in where the students of U.A high were attacked, left a lasting impression on not just Class 1-A." Began Nezu
"But although some have tried to use this experience to further brace themselves for the many dangers that come with being a Pro Hero, some have already gradually started to succumb to doubt, and as such, are considering withdrawing from U.A." This statement perked a lot of confusion from the group, but as to honor his previous request,they did not question Nezu.
''That is where you come in, Ben and your associates. You are free to voice your concerns"Said Nezu.
Almost immediately,Rook responsed, saying
''I wish not to sound improper as i say this Mr Nezu, But exactly what form of service could we offer you that could not be done by more qualified and experienced personnel? This is a sensitive matter,one of helping to set the children's ideals into proper standing. A task that I'm quite sure that the teachers in your disposal will be able to give the adequate attention it desires."
''Thank you Magister Rook Blonko for your contribution.I think it is safe to say that you've spoken the minds of your comrades." Said Nezu in appreciation,to which the others nodded in agreement.
''Yep,"Said Kevin
''Pretty much" Said Ben
''You see..." Continued Nezu.
''Many of the students in U.A High are young and aspiring to become Pro Heroes in other to leave their own impact on society. Alas, not many of them are actually aware of the obstacles and challenges that will come when they eventually achieve this dream. The experience at USJ was a huge eye opener for them, such a huge one in fact that some have started to develop the mindset hat they are not cut out to be heroes." Signs of concern would immediately form on the faces of the group.
''We've tried multiple attempts to curb these newly festered insecurities of those who opened up about it,with efforts from each teacher, but to no avail. At a point,we were almost about to drop the matter until another time, that is, until our Symbol of Peace,All might, spoke up and made a suggestion. That suggestion was to enlist you and your associates Ben Tennyson, to come and tutor our students for the course of three weeks." The expressions of the group had become neutral, as they had anticipated this coming up eventually.
''We kinda already figured that out earlier, and sorry to say, but i think we're a little underqualified for that" Said Gwen with a tone of sympathy.
''First off, we've never even taught a class before, nonetheless have we taught super powered kids. Asking us to help you babysit is a disaster waiting to happen." Said Kevin bluntly.
''My argument remains the same,they are better suited individual's for this job." Said Rook formally.
For a moment, a wall of silence would stand between the group and Nezu, with Nezu in particular adopting an inquisitive expression, indicating that he was deep in thought.
''Is there anything you would like to say regarding this matter,Ben Tennyson?"Asked Nezu, thus breaking the silence.
Upon taking a deep breath, Ben would then look at Nezu.
''You seem to have a lot of faith in us, thinking that we can help you with this. Why is that?" Asked Ben, causing Nezu to smile once more.
''Ben Tennyson, you know first hand the many complications that can come with the profession of being a hero. You've been experienced in the field since you were 10 years old. The path of a hero, one that must have once caused you much hardships in the past, has helped to mould you into a better person. Your experience and sense of justice play a huge importance in the creation of a great hero." The Omnitrix Wielder was astonished by Nezu's words, but before he could ask him his question, Nezu then turned to Rook
''Rook Blonko, you once came to this world in hopes of not just becoming an accomplished Plumber, but also to be brought under the wing of Ben Tennyson. As you got to know him however, You began not only to see his flaws, but also his strengths as well. Staying unwavered in your moral code and in the assistance of Ben Tennyson and fellow plumbers, you came to understand the essence of what helps to make not only an astounding plumber, but an astounding individual as well. Your bravery and unwavering commitment to law and order also serve as great qualities for a hero's growth." Left speechless by this revelation, Rook watched as Nezu set his sights on Kevin.
''Kevin Levin. You were once a young boy who was lost, without a purpose, and as such, only chose to pursue his own personal gain. However, due to your constant clashes with the Tennysons, you were always left frustrated and unfulfilled at every attempt. One fateful day, you were presented the opportunity to make up for your past mistakes,the opportunity for redemption. It was an opportunity that you ceased without much certainty. But as time passed, you began to understand the importance of friendship, trust, loyalty, selflessness and love. All of which helped you to become the man you are today. One much greater than your past self. Your ability to acknowledge your flaws and improve yourself over them are one of a hero's greatest assets." As Nezu said this, Kevin sported a large grin on his face, one of obvious satisfaction. At that moment, Nezu then turned to Gwen
''Last but not least Gwendolyn Tennyson. You have been an exceptional girl since even your early youth. But you were not without your shortcomings. Your arrogance and pride were perhaps your greatest flaws. Although not close to the level of your cousin's, they were still greatly significant. As you began to grow older however, you opened yourself to new feelings. Feelings that were once strange to you. Feelings of humility and compassion above all else. Your concern for others and your level-headedness are the foundation of a great hero." Just like the others, Gwen didn't say a word, but unlike them, her expression was seemingly more inquisitive,as if judging for herself the weight of Nezu's words.
''Each of this unique qualities that I have called out are the great potentials i see in each and every one of you. Not just me however, But also Magister Tennyson as well" Max, who had remained silent all this time,nodded in agreement of all that Nezu said.
''These unique traits i see each of you being able to enrich the lives of the Class 1-A students of U.A high with them in ways even you would be surprised of it's effectiveness. Not that the teachers in our school are lacking of them though, but the closeness in age that you share with the students plays a huge factor in this request. With your efforts, and our support, you would be doing not just a great service to our school, but to the society at large. So... What do you say?"
The final part of The principal's statement seemed to have brought the group out of a deep trance. As their regained their composure, they began to think to themselves, digesting all that had been said in the past 1 hour. After five minutes of thinking,they all looked at each other closely, without saying a word. it was like as if they were communicating through each others minds. After another minute, they all smiled,an agreement reached, then turned towards the Monitor.
''We're in" Said Ben enthusiastically
Principal Nezu smiled his brightest, grateful that his efforts were not in vein
''Excellent! Team Alien Force, your mission starts now!" Said Nezu in excitement
Never give up, Failure is a sign that you are trying (Go beyond PLUS ULTRA)
The gang were seen to be entering the Rust Bucket III.( it's basically a large jet with a green color scheme) Before they entered however, they stayed outside the boarding door to say their good-byes to Max.
''We'll keep in touch, Grandpa" Said Gwen and Ben in the middle of a hug.
''I know you will. But take care of yourselves. All of you" Said Max with a smile on his face.
''We will." Said Ben with a smile of his own as they broke the hug.
''Hey Max,that reminds me, you never did tell us how you knew Mr Fuzz-ball." Asked Kevin just before the group entered the Rust Bucket.
''That's right. How do you know him Grandpa?" Asked Benz his curiosity along with the others piqued.
''I met Nezu during an infiltration on a Forever Knight Castle in the states some years back, before i retired. He was their Guinea pig on some experiment to make some sort of breakthrough with animal genes mixed with human DNA to synthesize a weapon that could kill off a given alien race." Said Max grimly.
''Woah,hold up,Grandpa. Nezu was a lab rat?" Said Ben, taken aback.
''That explains the scar." Said Kevin, his composure slightly returned.
''And how he must have gained his intelligence." Added Rook.
''What happened after that?" Asked Gwen
''After Saving Nezu, and shutting down the lab hat operated on him along with the castle, i took him back to HQ to see if we could help with his recovery. It wasn't easy as we did go through a fair share of setbacks but after a few months, he got better. Considering his talents,we thought he'd be a great fit for our RD division, but he had his hearts set elsewhere... Japan.
With the structure of pro heroes being the best there is there, along with the growing educational establishments to help groom future pros, Nezu thought he'd be able to help with that development. I haven't heard from him ever since until today." Said Max with a hint of sadness and regret in his voice, but also layers of empathy and understanding.
''All things considered, especially with what we've come to know of the guy, i think you guys did a pretty good job Grandpa." Encouraged Ben as he noticed the shift in Max's countenance.
''I agree, you were there for him at his lowest point. The agony and despair he experienced may have been quite poignant, but it certainly doesn't seem to have affected him in a negative way, but rather helped him to become a better person." Added Rook
''And it's all as a result of your kindness." Said Gwen conclusively with a warm smile, a sentiment Max both reciprocated and appreciated as indicted by his own smile and him hugging the cousins once more.
''Alright guys,time to go." Said Kevin after the cousins broke the hug for the second time and accompanied Kevin and Rook inside. With all its occupants on board, the boarding door would retract into the Rust Bucket III, closing it shut. It's engine would then begin to emit a low rumble, creating a sense of anticipation in the air only strengthened further bu the engines practically roaring. The surrounding area blurs as the Rust Bucket III propels itself upwards at near blinding speeds, defying gravity as it soared so high up in the sky that it almost seemed right beside the moon.
Looking through their respective windows, the group could see Max waving at them from the ground, of which they, especially the cousins, would wave back right before it flew at breakneck speeds into the boundless night sky, now far removed from a convenient line of sight.
And so, our heroes went off on a new adventure. One to help restore hope to a place where it seemed to be fading
To Be Continued!
First Remake Chapter done.
With it, i'm sure it's now made evidently clear that the remake chapters won't be brand new chapters written from scratch, but rather rewrites made in an attempt to improve on the original chapters.
Hopefully this rewrite chapter was able to fulfill that purpose, and found enjoyable by you all.
Feel free to share your thoughts and opinions on it both as a new reader or old fan of Tutors of the Academia.
Constructive Criticism is welcomed, but not flaming.
Also, earlier yesterday, the trailer for the Shibuya Incident Arc of Jujutsu Kaisen S2 dropped. As a manga reader,it was beyond my expectations and i am eagerly awaiting for August 31st to come by and watch the premiere.
With me being in a JJK mood, can i say to you all to expect updates to my Jujutsu Kaisen related projects before then? You'll have your answer soon.
Until we meet again, anticipate the next rewrite chapter, and please, have yourselves a good one.
