Midday: Unforeseen Simulation Joint (U.S.J.)…
Sean held a fighting stance (for visual aid, he was in Goku's stance when fighting Vegeta,) poised and brimming with confidence that seemed almost insulting to the League of Villains, especially to a fuming Shigaraki.
The young man remarked with an equally confident smirk, "Is that all you got? Because I had barely broken a sweat…"
"You………You……YOU!!!!" Shigaraki fumed as he started to scratch his neck more viciously as he screamed, "I HATE YOU! YOU BLACK BASTARD!!!!"
Sean pointed a finger as he replied, "App-upupupup…Watch what you say, that could be considered offensive to certain crowds…"
Shigaraki's anger fizzled out into bewildered confusion as he comically asked with a confused squeak, "What…?"
Sean explained as the Nomu struggled and tumbled to try and climb out of the crater, "Calling me a 'black bastard' is what I mean. Yeah, I have black hair currently and am wearing clothes colored black, but what you said would be considered extremely offensive to certain crowds. Warning you in case some extremists in said crowd decide to hunt you down and hang you like a pig waiting for the slaughterhouse. There are some real crazies out there, let me tell you…"
"The fuck is he talking about?" Bakugo asked, still bewildered by the overwhelming display of power this 'black bastard' the hand guy kept calling him inflicted on that hulking monstrosity.
"Don't know, but good god, he is so manly…" Kirishima exclaimed as he saw the display and the respect-worthy muscles on the guy.
Sean folded his arms as he awaited some kind of response. Rosa rolled her eyes and placed a hand on her forehead as she guided Yuga Aoyama, Ojiro Mashirao, and Rikido Sato. But both sets of eyes from the two armored warriors focused on Aoyama, who noticed that their gazes on him were the kind that, somehow, figured out a secret he had almost immediately. Peering into his very soul and seeing the truth he wasn't aware of. It unnerved him a little, but he still was very brave as he and the remaining students of Class 1-A got to the entrance up the stairs.
Shigaraki felt his fury return with such a vengeance, that his neck was red with flaps of dead skin peeling off from how hard he scratched it. This man continued to aggravate him more than All Might, and now this white-clad woman, apparently his significant other, is a growing nuisance with all those powers she displayed. It irked him considerably that she has multiple quirks, thinking that only his master was capable of giving individuals multiple quirks. He couldn't even think of how it is even possible, as he still felt the excruciating pain from his arm being karate chopped off.
"AAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHH!" he screamed in a primal fury, he pointed at Sean and roared, "NOMU! KILL THAT GUY!!!"
The Nomu roared as it charged at Sean in a blind fury. All Might immediately got to his feet to face the creature, but he felt a powerful strike in his abdomen that left him paralyzed, all his muscles tensed up and he found himself unable to move. He saw it was the black-clad man who did it, and did so with two fingers.
'Pressure point training? I didn't think it actually exists…' All Might thought, he had only really seen this kind of skill in pre-quirk movies or movies set in pre-quirk times.
Sean looked at All Might and said, "You are injured, and they picked a fight with me. I will finish it, so to keep you from interfering, I paralyzed you temporarily by striking your pressure point. You will be able to move again in a few minutes and don't worry, you must have a reason for you to do the equivalent of sucking in your gut…"
All Might was shocked at that, wondering with fear how he knew he was flexing like that analogy he pointed out. But, he couldn't focus on the questions roaming in his mind as he saw the enraged Nomu charge at Sean with his back turned.
But before All Might could try to warn the young man, Sean swiftly turned around and grabbed the Nomu's hands and clenched them again, bones shattering echoed in the air. Sean then began forcefully pushing back the screaming Nomu with much more apparent ease than before.
"Well, my sweetheart is growing impatient. So I better wrap this up now…" Sean said with a smile as an aura enveloped his body like a cloak, finishing, "And I should stop holding back so much…"
He then threw the Nomu hard enough to have it crash and get stuck in the facility's back wall. The Nomu pried itself free from getting stuck and made a mad dash for Sean, its mind in a frenzy as the knife Rosa threw was still lodged in its exposed brain.
Sean got into a solid stance as his aura flared like a raging fire, the pressure kicking up powerful gusts of heated wind and the ground beneath his feet caved in and cracked under the pressure of his ki.
Todoroki, Kirishima, and Bakugo shielded their eyes as they beheld something that looked like it came straight from a shonen anime. Shigaraki and Kurogiri didn't need to be rocket scientists to realize that the one who had been derailing their plans was getting stronger. They tried to attack him, but two beams of energy pierced Kurogiri's left shoulder and grazed Shigaraki's side, not enough to punch through any organs, but enough to carve a small depression on his side. Both villains fell to the floor in pain as they glared to see the beams of energy coming from the white-clad woman, a tiny sphere of energy floating in front of her finger.
"Shigaraki…I…can't move…" Kurogiri barely said as he was reeling in pain, holding a smoky hand over his wound.
Shigaraki saw more red as his bitterness towards Sean was directed to Rosa, and would try to attack her, but the Nomu came in like a runaway freight train and made a B-line for the boy.
"Time to test out if this works here…" Sean smirked as he got into a fighting stance and his aura became a fiery red as he shouted, "Kaio-Ken!"
The Nomu punched Sean in the face, generating a burst of wind that was comparable to All Might's smashes, and kicked up a lot of dust. The three boys who helped free All Might from the Nomu were knocked back onto their butts as they watched the fight, bewildered by the strength of this creature.
Shigaraki grinned and was about to belittle Sean, but his stomach dropped once he saw that, while the Nomu's punch connected with Sean's head, the young man didn't move a centimeter, and he didn't have a scratch.
"No…that's–…that's impossible…!" he uttered in pure disbelief.
Sean smiled as he pushed the Nomu's fist away to the side, then delivered an earth-shattering punch to the Nomu's chest that sent the beast to the ground, with a depression on its chest that made it too clear that its ribs were completely shattered.
"I figured this thing had some kind of shock absorption ability. But, it is apparent that there are limits on how much it could take, even holding back, my blows pierced through its defenses…" Sean said as he redirected a punch from the Nomu, then used that momentum to deliver a sweeping kick that broke the Nomu's leg, shattering the bone inside.
Sean then charged his ki into spheres in his hands and blasted a volley at the Nomu, the balls of energy exploding with considerable force that the shock absorption quirk couldn't absorb. Bakugo felt bitter as the technique Sean used looked like he was apeing his quirk and moves, he wanted to call him out, but then he saw the young man blast the spheres of energy out in the sky away from the Nomu, but Sean pulled his hand back and the spheres moved and struck the Nomu from its back while Sean delivered punches that punched through the thing's defenses. Bakugo shut himself up, as he quickly realized that this black-clad warrior, his power set is different, his quirk was different.
The Nomu hunched over in pain, it couldn't understand why this smaller creature was hurting it when not even the guy it was designed to fight against couldn't do the same. The throbbing pain in its head continued to interfere with everything, so it reached its head and finally managed to remove the knife lodged in its brain. But the damage was done, its brain could not properly repair the damage done, and as a consequence, it couldn't hear anything.
It remembered its previous order, and that is killing this man clothed in black armor. It charged at Sean with a roar, but Sean grabbed its wrist and tossed it back to the ground, his body covered by a red aura that raged in intensity as a roaring fire. It attacked Sean by throwing a flurry of punches at such speeds they generated gusts of wind, but Sean was not only not hurt, he countered with punches of his own, and they had a bite to them that struck past the shock absorption and rattled the innermost parts of the body. Fists collided as each blow taken tore its ligaments and muscles apart, even with a regeneration quirk, the damage was so repetitive that the Nomu's body started to repair itself in a broken state.
"Fought foes with ridiculous regenerative powers before, I have several methods to deal with them…" Sean said with a smile, which greatly unnerved Kurogiri and Shigaraki, as they could see clearly, that Nomu was losing.
Nomu tried to fight back, but the damage done to it was so severe that it was now only half as dangerous as it was when it arrived. All Might was shocked at what he was seeing, this young man was easily dispatching a creature he had trouble defeating.
Sean's smile soon morphed into a cold, serious face as he said, "Playtime's over…now, I end it, once and for all…"
Sean's entire demeanor changed right as he heard a familiar voice shout, "Worry not! I have arrived with help!"
The voice belonged to Tenya Iida as he succeeded in bringing the rest of the U-A staff to the U.S.J. for the rescue. Kurogiri and Shigaraki knew they were screwed as Shigaraki was shot in the arm and legs by the hero and teacher, Snipe.
An explosion of energy erupted like a volcano at the plaza which garnered everyone's attention as Sean had no wasted movement in delivering devastating blows to the Nomu.
The creature's defenses ended up useless now, as Sean threw punches that knocked back the Nomu's own punches. One punch the Nomu threw ended in disaster for it as Sean instead grabbed its first, and proceeded to tear its arm clean off and beat it over the head with the severed limb. Everyone watched the massacre as Sean then created a claymore sword made entirely out of lightning and hacked off the Nomu's other arm with the smell of cooked, rotting flesh wafting in the area.
Sean said loud enough for everyone to hear, "Whoever created this thing has no right to be called human! Using the dead to create a weapon to harm others, when I find them, I will personally escort them to the ninth ring of hell, but not before I brutalize them to where they wish I just killed them outright…"
Nezu riding on top of the support-course teacher/pro-hero, Power Loader, overheard this and knew immediately that this dangerous man was right, the Nomu smelled like something dead, a corpse reanimated. He dared not think of the possibility that this was the work of some twisted villain and dreaded if it was the handiwork of a certain villain he knows of.
All Might felt his pressure-point-induced paralysis wear off, right as Sean grabbed the Nomu's legs and tore them from the Nomu's body, and subsequently disintegrate them by launching twin energy blasts skyward as they crashed straight through the U.S.J.'s dome, generating an explosion comparable to a ballistic missile detonating some 300 feet in the air.
"No! Nomu! Kill this bastard!" Shigaraki roared out, but Kurogiri noticed something and said, "Shigaraki, the Nomu can't take orders. The damage done to its brain has made it deaf to all things…"
The Nomu tried to regenerate its limbs and attacked in a blind fury. Instinct took over as it attacked like a cornered animal, as this foe it faced was a threat to its survival.
Izuku Midoriya wanted to step in and help, but the powerful gusts of wind kept him from getting closer, which led the boy to be right behind his mentor.
"Young Midoriya…" All Might said as he acted as a shield for his students, "What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to help, even if I can't do anything…" Izuku answered his teacher's inquiry, but he was silenced from saying anything further when Sean generated a blade out of his ki with one arm, and then sliced off the Nomu's legs again.
The Nomu recoiled as it tried to bring its hands together in a clap, but Sean took a really deep breath, then he breathed blue fire onto the Nomu, who tried to protect itself as much as it could from the intense burning flames. The sound coming from the fire breath was loud as it sounded like it came from a flamethrower the size of a car.
The Nomu's skin burned and cooked under the intense blue flames as Sean then summoned lightning bolts from the sky and blasted the Nomu's arms off its body, leaving the creature completely helpless.
Shigaraki and Kurogiri tried to rescue their weapon, but Sean radiating his energy created powerful gusts of wind that kept them from doing anything. Sean walked over to the Nomu as it tried in vain to fight back, but Sean's armored hands developed into large talons as the young man proceeded to tear open the Nomu with his bare hands. Sean pried the Nomu's ribcage open and tore from the Nomu's body its lungs. The organs that were tossed aside landed in front of Kurogiri and Shigaraki, who soon began to panic at the site.
"As I said, this thing is a reanimated corpse. And I will do to whoever created it what I'm doing to their creation right now!" Sean said in a replilian growl as he slashed repeatedly at the Nomu, overpowering its regeneration quirk beyond what it could repair.
The students nearby, and the U-A staff, heard what Sean said, that this thing he was killing wasn't even alive in the first place. It greatly unnerved Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, Ejiro Kirishima, and Shoto Todoroki, that was why the League of Villains was so certain their Nomu creature could rival All Might, and why it made so much sense now. The Nomu was some mad scientist's experiment.
After tearing the Nomu apart, Sean got closer to the creature's head, fairly intact but twitching uncontrollably as its entire body was destroyed from the attack, and left the Nomu at his opponent's mercy.
The Nomu looked into Sean's red-sclera-white-iris eyes and saw the intense predatory look in them soften as it managed to hear Sean say, "I am sorry that your rest was disturbed by those who have no respect for the dead. Now I will free you from your servitude…"
Sean then grabbed the Nomu's neck like a vice with one hand, and held its torn-apart chest with another, and began pulling them apart. The Nomu tried desperately to fight off the inevitable outcome it could feel coming, but Sean proved to be more powerful than it was.
With an animalistic roar, Sean tore the head and spine off and out of the Nomu, and held the severed head high in the air. Sean then looked at the trembling Kurogiri and Shigaraki, pure fear plastered all over their faces. The young man then dropped the twitching head of the Nomu to his feet, then he stomped on the skull of the Nomu, killing it for good, and destroyed all of its remains with his fire breath. The only thing left of the Nomu were ashes, and a severed, charred hand at the foot of the stairs.
Sean let out big deep breaths as he tried to relax, his aura died down as he glared at Kurogiri, Shigaraki, and a few of the defeated villains waking up from the fight. The League of Villains ringleaders were paralyzed with a fear that was greater than that for All Might, seeing the icy cold stare that chilled them to the bone.
"Well…well done young man," All Might said as he walked up and patted the young man's shoulder, "I wouldn't have gone as far as killing the villain, but you said it was a reanimated corpse so I suppose that is the unfortunate outcome for that battle…"
Little streams of steam started appearing from All Might's body, which the pro-hero noticed and thought, 'Shit! I really pushed myself too far today. Would not be surprised if my time limit as a hero got shortened…'
"We will take care of the rest now…" All Might said as he walked to the paralyzed Shigaraki and Kurogiri, but he and the rest of the pro-heroes were stopped by not just Sean, but Rosa as well.
Aizawa was about to question them until they all felt an oppressive, murderous aura weigh everyone down, and saw it came from Sean. He took two steps toward the masterminds, directing his intent onto them as he spoke nine words to them, in the most cold, ruthless voice anyone has heard…
"Leave…Now…I will not ask, a second time…"
Rosa sensed the confusion in the staff members and whispered to them, "My dear is playing a long game with them, something is telling us to let those two escape as it will be beneficial for all of us in taking this League of Villains down for good…"
Shigaraki was absolutely livid, to the degree that one might have to make up a brand new word to describe how pissed he was. But, he sucked in his anger to tell Kurogiri, "We're leaving, Kurogiri, I would rather not get arrested while he's giving us the opportunity…"
"I agree…" Kurogiri said as he began warping away, but stopped when Sean said, "Hold up! There's one more thing I need to say to you…"
Shigaraki groaned as he said, holding his severed hand carefully, "Fine! What is it?"
Sean was quiet for a few moments, and then to everyone's shock he moved too fast for the naked eye as he struck Tomura Shigaraki in the face with a beam of energy, blinding the villain and making him bleed from a burned-off cheek, making the villain scream in sheer agony over the pain he felt.
Kurogiri panicked as he said, "Tomura!" but he was silenced when Sean had a message he wanted them to relay…
"Tell your master and his lackey who made that monster, that if they ever mess with these children ever again, I will hunt them down and crucify them with extreme prejudice! UNDERSTAND!!!"
Sean's aura flared to life when he roared out that last word, it made the entire U.S.J. literally tremble under the intense pressure of his fury.
"Yes! Message received!" Kurogiri squeaked out in fright as he immediately wasted no time getting both himself and the screaming Tomura out of there as fast as possible. Tomura Shigaraki cursed and cussed in anger and pain as he furiously vowed…
"You…! I'll Make You SUFFER!!!!"
The villains left right as the police stopped outside the building. All Might was floored as he never picked up that the two masterminds of this attack were not the true masterminds, but he realized thanks to Midoriya that he was about to lose his current form.
Kirishima was running up to the pair as he asked, "Yo! All Might! Midoriya! Are you two alright?"
'Dammit, Young Kirishima! I commend you for showing concern for your classmate, but please stop!' All Might had cursed in his mind, as he lost much of his bulk trying to hold it and started to look like a skeleton wrapped in skin.
"N-n-n-no, w-wait!" Izuku tried to stop Kirishima, but suddenly a wall of concrete separated the two, Sean, and Rosa from the others.
"Kirishima, I get wanting to help, but please, you, Todoroki, and Bakugo join with the other students by the entrance…" a tall, rectangular grey man whose codename was Cementoss said as Kirishima reluctantly heeded his teacher's words.
"Thanks, Cementoss…" All Might said as he debuffed back to his true form, a thin, skeletal man with sunken eyes, and Cementoss replied with a smile, "No problem, I am a big fan, All Might…"
His smile lowered a bit as he asked, "Who are these two?" pointing toward Sean and Rosa right as the police arrived to arrest all the thugs the League of Villains brought.
Detective Tsukauchi arrived and noticed them, but before he could do anything, All Might said, "Hold on, Detective. They stalled the villains long enough for me and the rest of the pros to arrive. Even making sure I made it out in one piece, relatively speaking, when this whole fiasco was because the villains were here to take a shot at me…"
"If you say so All Might…" the detective said as he looked at the black-clad man & white-clad woman, then spoke to them, "I hope you two don't mind staying behind for some questioning?"
Rosa replied to his question, gesturing to Eraser Head, "We don't mind, we promised the tired fellow over there we would…"
Sean walked up to All Might as he opened his palm to All Might and presented him with a green soybean, saying, "Here, take this. This should help completely heal your injuries, especially that nasty wound to your side…"
All Might looked at Sean skeptically, and then looked at his friend, who while a little confused, nodded at him as he confirmed he isn't lying. He grabbed the bean carefully as he popped the bean into his mouth, and chewed it. Once he swallowed it, he felt not only his wounds closing, he also felt his damaged and missing organs regenerate, he felt his lungs were how they were, and felt his stomach again.
"Whoa!" Toshinori Yagi exclaimed as he then lifted his shirt to where he showed Izuku his debilitating injury, and found it was completely gone.
Izuku gasped as he exclaimed, "Whoa, All Might! Y-your injury! It's gone! Like you never had it!"
The Number One pro-hero gave a hearty laugh, and no longer coughing up blood, as he said, "Not just that, young Midoriya. I feel completely reenergized after eating that bean, like I could resume hero work like I had before!"
All Might turned to face Sean as he shook his hand and thanked him, "Thank you, young man. For everything."
Sean said, "No problem…"
Rosa walked up to Izuku and handed him a bean, like the one her husband gave All Might, and said to him with a smile, "Here, for you. It should help out with your messed-up hand…"
Izuku Midoriya was briefly mesmerized by the beautiful smile of the woman but quickly regained his senses as he stumbled out a response, "Th-thank you very much. And thank you for saving us…"
He would have taken the bean right there, but when both warriors grunted and fell to their knees like they were in pain, they see their bodies light up. All Might, sensing something, asked, "Cementoss! Wrap more concrete around us, please!"
Cementoss didn't know why All Might asked that, but he did as was asked and brought up more concrete around Tsukauchi, All Might, Izuku Midoriya, and the two warriors. Aizawa managed to slip through before his fellow teacher closed off their surroundings and saw the young man and young woman, glowing all over their bodies. Then, in a flash, they were replaced by two teenagers (or at least they assume they were teenagers) that had the same faces as the warriors that rescued them, only a little younger looking. They looked like they were not much older than the students themselves, but looks could be deceiving, All Might knew that all too well.
Sean huffed like he ran a marathon's marathon, and sat on his butt as he said, "W-wow…I never…realized we were…so low on energy…"
The boy collapsed onto his back as he was too exhausted to continue standing, let alone sitting up, and took deep exhausted breaths. The girl fared better than her companion did, as she simply rested with one knee on the ground, saying, "It makes sense when you think about it, we were going full throttle before we woke up outside on the road to here…I just didn't think we had that much time left to use that transformation…"
Principal Nezu had stood on top of the cement wall as he saw the whole ordeal, his curiosity was piqued as he said, "My, my…this has gotten interesting…"
League of Villains Hideout, Kamino Ward…
A man hooked up to some medical equipment observed the world through some tv monitors, he had an unpleasant smile as he wondered if the weapon he created succeeded in its task. But then, he saw news reports about explosions comparable to ballistic missiles, tremors, and enormous lightning bolts raining from the sky over the U.S.J., he paused as he realized that was where his weapon, his servant, and his protege were located. From what his mole told him, there was no one with quirks powerful enough to match what the news footage showed and described. He might need to have a word with his mole about this, but his thoughts were stopped when Kurogiri warped in, with a screaming Tomura Shigaraki in tow.
"What happened, Tomura…?" the man asked them, a voice sounded off as one of the monitors had a video call answer with the monitor saying "Sound Only" on the screen.
"Where is the Nomu I created, Kurogiri?" the voice of an older man asked.
Kurogiri replied, "That is not important right now! Tomura got seriously hurt, a severed arm, and a blast by his face! You got to do something, master!"
The man hummed as he came closer to the writhing Tomura, and said, "Oh Tomura. Whatever happened to you to result in this?"
The man sent out tendrils from his fingers and forced a healing quirk or several to go overtime in recovering his protege's injuries, even using said tendrils to reattach his severed arm.
Tomura fought back crying in agony as he said, "All Might wasn't at the U.S.J. as the schedule we got said. We wreaked havoc, tried to kill some would-be heroes, got to take care of Thirteen and Eraser Head, but two interlopers…"
Tomura shuddered in fury as he finished in a furious voice, "That black bastard and white bitch ruined everything!"
"Black bastard and white bitch?" the man in the monitor asked, not sure what the teal-top man was talking about.
"Allow me to explain…" Kurogiri said as he told the two men everything he could.
He explained the appearances of the two warriors that appeared, and stressed how powerful they are, or at least how powerful the black-clad warrior was. Kurogiri explained that these two seemed to have multiple quirks as they had between the two of them a cornucopia of powers. The warping villain even explained how this same black-clad warrior overpowered the Nomu right off the bat, how he seemed to have been able to bypass the shock absorption quirk the man in the monitor gave, and even overtaxed the regenerative quirk with sheer power, which resulted in the Nomu's termination as the man reduced it to ashes.
Though he put on a brave face, the man hooked up to the medical equipment was actually intimidated by this black-clad warrior, as it sounded like this man was much more powerful than, not just All Might, but even himself when he was in his prime.
Behind the monitor, the other man was quite intimidated as well. He created the Nomu to beat All Might at his maximum, but this warrior the Nomu fought…no…more like the Nomu was massacred by, he sounded beyond what was possible in this world.
Kurogiri finished by saying, "This warrior allowed me and Tomura to leave when we were paralyzed with fear. But, not before instructing us to deliver a message to you and the good doctor, master…"
This actually made this mastermind's heart skip a beat in shock, as this warrior knew that he and the doctor were really the ones responsible for the attack.
He spoke to his servant, "What is his message, Kurogiri?"
Kurogiri relayed it, "He said, to tell you and the doctor that if you ever go after the children at U-A ever again, he will hunt you down, and will crucify the two of you brutally with extreme prejudice. He said it in a tone that is to be taken seriously, and gave this message after inflicting Tomura that injury to his face…"
"Master! I hate him! I hate that black bastard! I want him dead! More than fucking All Might!" Tomura growled out decaying the floor underneath him as his rage boiled, especially as because of this black-clothed man, he lost his father's hand, and his grandma's when his arm was severed.
Tomura's master grinned with sick satisfaction as this unknown threat had successfully fueled Tomura's anger and hatred more than his most hated foe, All Might.
He then maintained his composure as he remembered this very same individual threatened him and the doctor directly. It was an offense to the Shadow King of Japan, All For One, the most feared villain in Japan and the world.
All For One asked his successor, "Aside from that man and woman, Tomura, was there someone else who angered you? Someone to note?"
Shigaraki couldn't think of anyone other than those two interlopers, those plan wreckers, they infuriated him so much he couldn't remember it was all a blur, they melded together, all the faces…
Faces…
Shigaraki said in realization as he was still stuck to the ground due to his body giving out from the intense pain inflicted, "Wait…there was one…a boy in green…"
"Oh?" All For One questioned, to which Shigaraki finished with his fury burning like an inferno, "…that boy…his strength was just like All Might's…"
All For One smirked as he knew exactly what that means…
'So…you have a successor of your own All Might…I cannot wait to meet him…' he thought as the doctor whined and moaned about his creation being destroyed.
"Hmm…" All For One hummed in thought, then spoke to himself, "…These two warriors, these interlopers, perhaps we need to keep an eye out for them. If they are as powerful as you say they are, Kurogiri…"
All For One's smile became a grimace as he clutched his hand, then finished as he gave off a bitter aura…
"…then we may need to take a different approach, to bringing down hero society…"
U-A Nurse's Office…
6:35 PM, Tokyo Standard Time…
Izuku Midoriya and All Might were sitting at the nurse's office at U-A, having just finished getting checked up by the school's nurse, the "Youthful" Heroine, Recovery Girl. Real name: Chiyo Shuuzenji.
"I can't really blame you for winding up here again, on the account of what happened, and that All Might miraculously healed…" the old woman said as she set a document folder on her desk.
Izuku saw that All Might, having now cleaned up a little, looked much healthier than he was before. He was still pretty scrawny and vaguely looked like a skeleton wrapped in skin, but he didn't look as sunken in as he remembered when he saw him in this form.
"I know, Recovery Girl. There's a likelihood that I had significantly shortened my time as a hero. I might have a little over two hours of hero work a day now…" All Might said, dejectedly, which Izuku frowned over.
"I still can't believe that your damaged organs were repaired and that your stomach was back. What exactly happened at the U.S.J. to result in you completely recovering from your wounds?" Recovery Girl asked, looking at the two.
All Might sighed as he recalled, "You heard that there were two vigilantes who arrived at the U.S.J. before I did?"
"Yes…apparently whatever they did to you, they also did to Aizawa and Kurose. As they reportedly had severe injuries that would leave them with problems that would persist for the rest of their lives…what about them, Toshinori…?" the old nurse asked.
All Might answered, "Well, the young man of the pair gave me what looked like a soybean and told me to eat it. He said it would completely heal my injuries, and I had no reason to doubt that he was lying. And sure enough once I took the bean, my wounds completely healed, like I never received them in the first place…"
The school nurse thought about the information provided, then said, "A shame they didn't give young Midoriya one of those beans. Would have saved me some trouble…"
Izuku suddenly remembered as he replied, "N-no! They did, the girl did give me one of those beans. But, they transformed or something, and it caught me off guard that I forgot I still have the bean…"
He looked over to his gym uniform pants and fished around his pocket and found the bean he was looking for. He showed it to Recovery Girl as he said, "I guess this is what those two gave Aizawa-sensei, Thirteen-sensei, and All Might…"
Recovery Girl took the bean with her fingers and inspected it. Though old, her keen senses could tell that while this looked like an ordinary soybean, there was definitely something different about this bean, but couldn't figure out what.
She handed it back to Izuku and said, "Well, there is something about it I can't quite figure out, despite it looking like an ordinary bean. Perhaps we could question these two rescuers more about them…?"
The door to the nurse's office opened up as Detective Tsukauchi walked in, saying, "I agree…and there's a lot more to question them about…"
"Tsukauchi…I take it you have finished questioning the rest of the students?" All Might asked, confusing Izuku as to why did he not hide or buff up once the door slid open.
"Wait, All Might! Is it okay for you to show your current form in front of him?" Izuku asked, which Toshinori Yagi answered, "Yeah, it's fine Young Midoriya. This is Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi, he knows about One For All, and is a trusted confidant…"
The Detective responded, "Yes, I had finished questioning the rest of your class, Toshinori. Well, all of them but Midoriya here. I have the two waiting at the police station until I arrive to question them. Eraser Head is with them to make sure they are not doing any funny business until I arrive…"
All Might sighed with relief as the Detective asked Izuku to answer any questions he had regarding the incident earlier today and asked him to answer them truthfully.
Izuku did, telling him the events from his perspective. But, not before he decided to eat the miracle bean the girl gave him, to show its effects to the detective and nurse, and he himself was surprised by the effects of this wonder drug of some kind…
About a few hours later, Izuku was finished being questioned by Tsukauchi, but he had a request to the detective that he was more than obliged to help with.
He walked out of the U-A main building to see waiting for him, Ochako Uraraka and Tenya Iida waiting for him as the sun had set a while ago. He figured that it must be around 8:00 at night.
"Hey, Deku!" Ochako waved and smiled to catch his attention, "We've been waiting for you!"
Tenya Iida held up his hand in greeting his friend, "Midoriya…Uraraka and I figured we would wait for you to walk to the station…"
Izuku felt really touched by them, and worried as he said, "No, you two didn't have to wait for me. After today, I thought you would want to go home immediately…"
Ochako shook her head as she replied, "No, we are friends, aren't we? We wanted to be sure you are okay. Should we get going now?"
As much as Izuku wanted to go with them, he said with an apologetic expression, "I really appreciate the thought you two, b-but I need to be somewhere else. Detective Tsukauchi wanted me to go to the station for more questioning regarding those two who rescued us. He figured if I help him, they might be more willing to listen to me, on some account that I apparently know something about them the rest of our classmates don't…"
Ochako looked a little disappointed that her friend had something else going on, while Iida said, "Well, if the detective has need of your assistance, then who are we to get in the way…"
He turned to Uraraka and said, "Come Uraraka, we have trains to catch. Let's not delay the police's work…"
Ochako stepped a little closer to Izuku as she asked, "You'll tell us anything you learn? Barring any disclosure agreement or something…?"
Izuku was a little flustered by Ochako getting so close to him, but he gave an answer, "Y-yeah. Of c-course, I will…you can count on it…"
He brought up his fist as Ochako fist-bumped him and she replied, "Alright Deku…I'm counting on you to tell us everything you learn about our rescuers…"
Izuku waved with a nervous smile as Ochako ran to catch up with Iida. He realized he touched hands with a girl, a cute girl, but controlled himself as walked to the entrance of U-A right as Tsukauchi, All Might, Recovery Girl, and Principal Nezu arrived in the detective's car.
"Huh?! Pr-principal Nezu?! What are you doing here?!" Izuku asked, to which the chimera replied, "I want to know more about the two who saved the lives of my students and faculty as much as you, young Midoriya. I saw the truth about them as well, and my curiosity got the better of me. So, are you coming or not…?"
Unknown Location…
[Key: (1) leader, (2) lieutenant, (3) tech officer, (4) mid-level agent, (5) historian officer]
"Are you certain?" (1)
"Yes…there was an anomaly…the first one in ages…" (2)
"There hasn't been a breach since the year 1982…why now? Why hundreds of years later?" (1)
"Something has changed…while the advent of quirks has shaken up how we dealt with these scenarios, all the world leaders know about this. And had subsequently gotten the reports." (3)
"Things have been quiet since the 1980s, but that doesn't mean we were slacking off. We have to head for Mustafu, Japan, and investigate the anomalies." (2)
"Sir…!" (4)
"What is it now?" (1)
"The source of the anomalies…they are a young boy and girl. They know the passwords…and the keyword in the event someone knew the passwords!" (4)
"That must mean they are familiar with travel between dimensions, likely displaced like those Isekai whatever things from Japan…" (5)
"*sigh*…if they know the passwords, and the keyword, then our protocols must be put into place." (2)
"Even if we have been operating as a skeleton crew for the past hundred years, we still keep tabs on these situations. Have our agent who responded to the passwords ready for any necessary information needed for the Sleeper Protocol…" (1)
"Yes sir!" (4)
"…not gonna lie, my predecessor thought that we will never get any anomalies ever again…and I am excited to be in charge when the first one in so long finally happens…" (1)
"It is a momentous occasion…and I think I know why…" (3)
"Anomalies always bring something exciting to our world, things that always bring great change to the world. I just wish it is for the better…" (5)
"Yeah, the last anomaly nearly started a pre-quirk, World War Three, had it not been for those heroes from another reality…" (3)
"I wonder who these two are like? As those passwords and the keyword are known exclusively to good-aligned visitors to our universe…" (2)
"They must be aligned with 'her'…" (1)
"Who?" (5)
"You've heard about her in orientation…the God of Space and Dimensions…" (2)
Mustafu Police Station…
9:32 PM, Tokyo Standard Time…
Sean and Rosa sat down in a separate room, waiting to be questioned by Detective Tsukauchi. They saw the police put away the last of the small-time criminals behind bars, particularly those with not-so-dangerous quirks.
Beside them was Shota Aizawa, he was staying beside them to make sure they were questioned and didn't escape. They had to wait until the detective finished questioning the rest of Aizawa's students, which if the teacher had to guess, was the problem child, Izuku Midoriya, currently at the Nurse's Office. He would rather go sleep in his bed, but his duty to protect his students overrode his drowsiness, as these two could easily bypass U-A's state-of-the-art security, and he wanted to make absolutely sure they were not a threat.
He was sitting beside Sean, who was twiddling his thumbs while Rosa was on the other side of the boy. She sighed and nervously bounced her foot as she took deep meditative breaths.
Sean said while looking directly at Aizawa, "I can sense that you are agitated with us…"
Aizawa replied, "Because a couple of teenagers recklessly did vigilante stuff, and while I am grateful that you helped us, that doesn't excuse your actions! Once we find your parents, we will be having a stern talk about this kind of behavior…"
Sean and Rosa looked at each other with a knowing look, with Rosa saying, "I don't think that will help much…"
Aizawa sighed as he was ready to tell them off, until one of the police officers came up to the three as Aizawa asked, "So…any calls about their parents?"
The officer shrugged his shoulders in confusion as he explained, "The thing is, their phones have numbers that, apparently, no longer exist. And there are no records for these two, anywhere in Japan…"
Aizawa grumbled as this was a major problem he didn't want to deal with. Sean and Rosa looked at each other and sighed as they recalled earlier in the day…
{-}-{A Few Hours Earlier}-{-}
Sean and Rosa were being escorted to a spare, empty police cruiser for the moment to avoid suspicion. Tsukauchi asked the police to keep them out of sight and escorted them in a way that won't draw attention. The two sat down in the cruiser as the cops helped out in putting away the low-level criminals brought by the league.
The pair looked at each other, and Sean said, "I didn't realize we used so much energy when we dealt with those villains…"
"We didn't…" Rosa said as she wrapped her arms around his and leaned her head against his shoulder, "We were running low on energy when we decided to help those kids out, undoubtedly when we were escaping the Decepticons' ship with…"
Rosa sat straight up as she wondered, "…with…with…ugh…why can't I remember…I know we took something from them, but what?"
Sean replied, "Yeah, I can't remember what it is we took from Megatron's clutches, but it was undoubtedly a relic or two…I think…"
He looked into her eyes as he said, "When I really think about it, and when I try to think what I am missing from my memories…something keeps playing on repeat in my head. We were running and fighting against the Decepticons…But…"
Rosa knew what her husband was talking about, as she said, "…but, how did we end up on the Nemesis…? And more importantly…"
"How did we escape from the Decepticons…?" both said in unison as they laughed a little.
The two hugged each other as suddenly, the back door opened as one police officer with a different expression than the others the two had seen inspected them. They could feel that he knows something about them, something that told them he knew they were from another reality.
The cop was likely someone the pair knew about, part of a global organization that was aware of the multiverse and that some people slip between the realities. And before the undercover agent could close the door, and likely kidnap or kill them, Sean called out, "Hey wait…!"
He then said a phrase that made the cop pause, he opened the door and questioned them with what to an outside observer might appear to be a game of Word Chain, but it was confirmation passwords.
"You think knowing a few words makes you smart?" the police officer asked, as he was trained and taught to always doubt the words of someone who knew the password and thus the riddle he said.
Sean replied, "No, compared to the grand scheme of things, in the scope of all of creation, we are specks in the universe, but it doesn't mean we are any less important…"
Within that phrase, the undercover agent heard the keyword within the response, and it confirmed for him that these two were aware and that they were one of three possibilities. The last is unlikely as they wouldn't know the passwords at the level he heard.
"I will report this to high command, but you two will have to stay put at the station after Tsukauchi questions you…" the agent said to them.
"Hold on, there are several who probably know more than you think and could be cleared and trusted with this information, and we think we should be able to let any trusted individuals in at our discretion…" Sean said, and proceeded to explain–…
{-}-{Flashback End}-{-}
The two's attention was grabbed by Tsukauchi speaking to them, "Hey! You two are ready for questioning, follow me…"
Sean and Rosa sat up and followed Tsukauchi as Aizawa walked behind them, following the detective to one of the interrogation rooms, he spoke to Sean, "Step in here, please…"
Rosa looked at her husband with a little worry, but Sean smiled at his wife, reassuring her he will be fine. Rosa smiled as well as she gave Sean a nod in understanding. He stepped into the room as Tsukauchi closed the door, Sean sensed with aura that the detective was leading Rosa to another room. He figured that by separating the two, the detective wanted honest opinions over the incident, and didn't want either of them to obscure any facts in the presence of the other. He chuckled as he raised his head to the interrogation room.
Sean observed the room and it looked like how he expected it to look. There was a table, four chairs, a whiteboard, and a file cabinet (which he thought was a little odd), but there was no mirror that was really a one-sided window.
'Yeah, I figured that like our world, not a lot of Japanese police stations have one-sided windows, unlike America…' Sean thought as he sat down at the table, 'I wonder how Rosa is handling this?'
—
'God, I am hungry…'
Rosa sat down and rested on top of the table from her seat, arms folded and her head pressed against her arms, trying to ignore her empty stomach growling.
She sighed as she waited, and then, Detective Tsukauchi entered the room with a bowl of katsudon, a traditional and common Japanese dish. She saw he also brought a fork for her, and Rosa could guess that he was trying to be considerate for her sake.
"For the record, detective…" Rosa said to the man as he set the bowl of katsudon on the table, "…I can use chopsticks as well as anyone who uses them their entire lives. But right now, I'm too hungry to care…"
The young woman grabbed the bowl and fork and pulled them closer to her, then she ate the dish.
She let out a satisfied smile and said, "This is good. Thank you, I needed that…"
Tsukauchi chuckled a little as he replied, "You're welcome, Miss. I see you speak fluent Japanese, as if you were a native speaker. There is a barely noticeable accent to you that gives away that Japanese is not your first language…"
"Yeah, I look like a foreigner, because I am. I've heard it all before…" Rosa said as she continued to eat the katsudon, though now at a slightly slower pace.
Tsukauchi nodded in understanding and said, "Well, my name is Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi. You obviously know why you're here, so let's jump into this. Name?"
The young woman had polished off the dish and set down the empty bowl, and then answered the detective's inquiry, "Rosa Marie Hashimoto, formerly Rosanne Marie Parker. My given name was Rosanne, but it is now legally Rosa, and I prefer to be called that if you're going to address me by my first name. I know Japanese naming conventions."
Tsukauchi confirmed with his quirk that she was telling the truth. But, there was something that grabbed his attention…
"Formerly? Your family name?" he asked with a raised eyebrow, with Rosa holding up her hand and showing him a ring on her ring finger.
"Oh, married…" Tsukauchi remarked as he wrote that down, "…you look a little young to be married, Mrs. Hashimoto…"
"I'm older than I look…" she said, which Tsukauchi thought was odd as it registered as truth.
He asked, "Pardon if it sounds rude then, but for the record, how old are you?"
"Physically, mentally, or chronologically?" Rosa asked, which further confused the detective as it still registered as truth.
"Uh…whichever, you feel okay with sharing, I suppose…" he asked, a little caught off guard as her question was clearly a serious one and not a joke.
Rosa sighed as she revealed her age, "20 years, next October. Though my appearance has gotten me mistaken on occasion for being 15-16 years old every once in a while. I have good genes that will have me look pretty young, like looking to be 30 even in my 60s-70s for example…"
'Ah, so she is older…' Tsukauchi thought as he wrote down more information while looking at her with an observant eye…
Rosa covered her huge chest with her arms as she said, "Detective, eyes are up here…"
Tsukauchi fumbled a little and coughed in surprise as he apologized, "S-sorry! I didn't realize I was…no, that's no excuse. Please forgive my unintentional rudeness…"
Rosa rolled her eyes as she replied, "Sure, I can tell you don't mean it. You're not the first guy I caught ogling at me, you won't be the last…"
Tsukauchi nodded in thanks as he blushed and tried to fight it down, and resume questioning…
—
"What are these you had on your person, Mr. Hashimoto…?"
Sean had figured Tsukauchi had questioned Rosa first, as when he gave him his name, the detective asked if he was married to the young woman he was with, and Sean said he is. So he quickly figured out that he is likely going to ask the same questions he asked her.
Sean saw Tsukauchi put on the table his backpack, and the Masterforce armor in its suitcase mode.
"My backpack, and a hi-tech suit of armor that is currently in its carrying mode for easy storage…the backpack is magic, where only I can use it…"
"Yes, your wife said that herself, and noted that you, her husband, have a greater storage capacity with your backpack…" Tsukauchi as he pushed Sean's pack closer to the boy.
Sean understood what Tsukauchi wanted, a demonstration, so he opened it, reached in, and pulled out a hatrack which shocked Tsukauchi quite a bit as his mind tried to figure out how the discrepancy between the two objects did what they did.
"Figured you would want to hang your hat, as I noticed you don't have one in here…" Sean commented, "…but if you want a more obvious demonstration…"
Sean reached into his backpack, and begin pulling out something that had the detective fall on his butt in surprise as the boy was pulling out a giant robot head (the head of a Gundam mobile suit) that looked to be as big as a car.
"Okay! Okay! Whatever that is, put it back! I believe you wholeheartedly now!" Tsukauchi shouted in a panic, as Sean did as he was asked.
"Yeah, I didn't want to be the guy who pulls the whole thing out. That was just the head of a robot that stands about three stories, maybe five stories tall…" Sean shrugged as he pushed the robot head back into his backpack.
Tsukauchi had to pinch himself and slap his face to make sure he wasn't dreaming or hallucinating the sight of a car-sized object, being squeezed into a pack that was no bigger than an American school backpack.
"Sorry…people think I am fibbing when I say I have a magic backpack and got used to proving to them that I do…" Sean apologized, which the detective took in stride and shakily regained his professionalism.
He explained as he wiped the sweat off his forehead, "I have a lie detector quick, I would know if someone was lying, so that was unnecessary. Your wife pulled things that look like they don't fit in her backpack as well…"
Sean nodded as the questioning continued, unaware of the fact that several people were watching him and Rosa as they were questioned. Especially once the detective asked them about the U.S.J. Incident, and heard their perspective on the attack, but Sean was asked particularly why he allowed the League of Villains, Tomura Shigaraki and Kurogiri, to escape when they should have been arrested.
Sean proceeded to answer the detective, and anyone else listening in…
"The reason is because of a feeling I have that it would work out in the long run in stopping their plans. They were not the real orchestrators of the attack. I already could locate those two by sensing their energy, but I feel that you need to play the long game, wait until you got a feel of their entire operation, then trap them. There are two important pieces missing from the board that you need to account for, the true leader of the League of Villains, and the one who created the Nomu. They are unknowns, and who knows what they have planned…"
Tsukauchi raised his brow at this explanation as he asked, "And you are certain of this, how?"
"I come from a family of military strategists, it is somewhat of a tradition in our family to be trained in tactical warfare, especially with those that cross our paths. Plus, I got a pretty good intuition that earned me the trust of some very powerful people…" Sean answered, and Tsukauchi sighed as it registers as truth once again.
"Well, if you know where they are, do you mind telling us where?" Tsukauchi asked, to which Sean asked, "You have a map and any idea where we currently are?"
Tsukauchi pulled up a map of Mainland Japan, and pointed out where Mustafu was on it, Sean used his senses to confirm where the two villains who escaped are located.
"Without a good lay of the land, I could only give you a general location…" Sean said, with Tsukauchi confirming, "No need, give us a general location, and we will take it from there…"
Sean pointed to one Ward and said, "Without specifics, I can tell you that the League of Villains is located about here…"
"Kamino Ward, huh?" Tsukauchi wondered, as Sean then warned, "I would be discrete if you investigate the area, those guys might catch wind and move locations. Play the slow game, be patient…"
Tsukauchi heeded the advice and made a mental note to conduct a discrete investigation around Kamino Ward for the L.O.V.'s location. But he thought, for now, he should ask, "What about what you and your wife gave Eraser Head, Thirteen, Izuku Midoriya, and All Might? What kind of drug did you give them that completely healed them?"
Sean sensed this was a question he asked Rosa, and probably wanted clarification, so he answered, "They are called Senzu Beans, magic beans that could heal any injury, even life-threatening or fatal injuries. They also restore the consumer's spent power to full capacity, but the only downside is that they are worthless in healing illnesses. We have a sizable stockpile in our backpacks, but they are limited in quantity, and we don't know how to grow more."
Tsukauchi was surprised at this, and remarked, "Heh, they sound really handy to have, a shame they can't do much for illnesses. How many of these 'Senzu Beans' do you two have?"
"Don't know…" Sean shrugged an answer, "…I hadn't got the time or opportunity to check…and I kinda suck at math, so I would be counting them the old-fashioned way…"
Tsukauchi sighed and nodded in understanding, if the whole report on the U.S.J. Incident is accurate, then they wouldn't have the time to see how many of this wonderdrug they have on hand. He asked, "Do you have an estimate?"
Sean mulled it over as he then answered, "Well, I could be wrong, but if my memory is correct, Rosa and I have at minimum around 60 beans in stock. It could be less or more than that, but we would have to check to be sure…"
Tsukauchi nodded as he understood, and understands how important it would be to know exactly how many of this miracle-drug is left. He also thinks it is a shame that both of them have no clue how to make more beans, but when he thought about it, it would be for the better, as such beans would probably promote more reckless behavior from everyone…
Deciding he has to get to the major point, Tsukauchi said, "According to your wife's testimony, you two have blacked out and then woke up as you suddenly appeared out of nowhere on the road on U-A grounds. She didn't lie, and I have reason to not doubt she was telling the truth. She mentioned memory problems…so could you provide some insight?"
"Yeah, we both have some memory problems, we don't know or remember how we got here. But, the circumstances we remember before this mystery appearance, we rather not say. Not because we are keeping secrets, but because if we told you the truth, you wouldn't believe us even with that lie-detecting power of yours…" Sean said with a shrug.
Tsukauchi chuckled after hearing that, then said, "Ha! You pulled the head of a giant robot out of your backpack! Just try me, son…"
Sean winced a little with a hiss, but said, "Okay…you see–…"
{Two Minutes Later…}
Tsukauchi planted his head on the table and let out a loud groan in disbelief.
"Okay…" Tsukauchi groaned, "I should have heeded your warning. That does sound too unbelievable…"
"You don't believe me?" Sean asked, with the detective remarking, "Yes and no…the fact my quirk did not go off once when you said all that makes me have to believe you. But hearing all that, I think that both of us have lost our sanity because it is just too unbelievable to be true…"
"Caught in a conundrum? A paradox?" Sean asked and the detective snapped his fingers and pointed at Sean, saying he was right on the money.
He leaned back on the chair and took a deep breath to clear his mind. The detective then said, "Alright. Wait here…I have to brief a few others who have questions of their own to ask you and Mrs. Hashimoto…"
Tsukauchi got up from his seat and walked out of the room with the notes he took in his hand. Sean simply watched him leave, and once the door closed, the young man took a deep breath, and spoke to his wife telepathically…
~"Rosa? Do you read me?"~ he asked in his mind, using his ki to speak telepathically.
Rosa heard his call and responded, ~"Yes, I hear you, Sean. I am okay, unharmed, and untouched if you're worried, dear. I take it the detective had just finished questioning you?"~
~"Just left the room to likely consolidate his separate talks with the two of us to get the big picture…"~ Sean answered his wife, he felt relieved he could talk with his wife, having not done so during the whole time the detective questioned the two of them.
Rosa was silent for a good few moments, until she asked, ~"So, what's gonna happen to us now? They probably figured out we don't exist, or if our variants did, might be dead for who knows how long…'~
Sean thought about it for a while, then said, ~"Hmm…if that undercover agent got the information relayed, by now they should make contact with those individuals we told him about. I still do not know how we knew all those names, and why they are so familiar sounding. But at least we both proved that our confusion on that is genuine…"~
~"I hope so…"~ Rosa commented, the worry in her tone was pretty obvious, ~"I don't want to end up making everyone enemies…"~
Detective Tsukauchi had just summarized the complete story of Sean and Rosa to Shota Aizawa, Izuku Midoriya, Toshinori Yagi, Nezu, and Chiyo Shuuzenji.
"You're telling me they come from another reality? Another universe?" Aizawa questioned incredulously, "They have to be lying, detective. That doesn't make any sense…"
"I wouldn't dismiss their claim, Aizawa. There is no proof that discredits the Multiverse Theory, they could very well be proof of its confirmation…" Nezu said with a smile on his face.
"Honestly, I wish they were lying too. But they were telling the truth, they even showed me a little proof they are not exactly normal even by today's standards…" Tsukauchi replied as he shook his head.
Aizawa couldn't believe what he was hearing, but Nezu had to ask, "What kind of proof did they show you?"
Tsukauchi sighed as he said, "They pulled out things from their backpacks that shouldn't even fit inside them. Mr. Hashimoto pulled out the head of a giant robot out of his backpack. The head was the size of a car, and the robot is apparently five stories tall…"
He had a bit of footage recorded and showed them, and they were floored as well.
Recovery Girl asked as Aizawa massaged his head, "What about those beans? You got information on them?"
The detective nodded as he flipped to his notes, "They did, but Mr. Hashimoto provided more details. They are called Senzu Beans, they are magic beans that could heal even some fatal injuries, but they are apparently useless in healing illnesses. He also said they have a sizable stockpile of beans on hand, but they have to count them to know how many, and they both do not know how to make more of these Senzu Beans. They are certain magic is involved in their cultivation…"
The nurse sighed as she said, "Shame, they would have come in handy. Especially with this one…"
Izuku Midoriya let out a nervous laugh as Recovery Girl pointed her cane at him. Aizawa looked at him with a disapproving gaze. The boy knew Aizawa had a problem with him being here in the first place, but it was because of All Might, Tsukauchi, Nezu, and Recovery Girl vouching for him that Aizawa had to suck it up that he was involved here.
"Did they say anything about their quirks?" All Might asked, to which his best friend answered, "No, not yet. I figure you would want to ask them yourself."
"Excuse me…"
Everyone turned to see a man in a black suit facing the group, "Are you all Naomasa Tsukauchi, Toshinori Yagi, Shota Aizawa, Nezu, Chiyo Shuuzenji, and Izuku Midoriya?"
The detective remarked in surprise, "Kaida?! What are you doing here?!"
"You know this guy?" All Might asked his friend, but the man replied, "Hikaru Kaida was an alias for my undercover work. I was tasked to instruct you two about your visitors, and let you know a certain truth about our world…"
"Truth? What?" Aizawa exclaimed as the man asked, "Is there a more confidential area we could retreat to for me to disclose this information?"
Tsukauchi directed him to an unused interrogation room and everyone piled inside as the man in black put a suitcase on the desk.
He said, "I am Agent Oda, a member of a global organization founded in secret over 100 years ago, off the backbone of a group whose activities have been present a few centuries before the advent of Quirks. We technically do not exist so it is in everyone's best interest that our existence remain secret."
They all agreed as Agent Oda said, "The two you were questioning detective are indeed from another universe, another reality. We know this because they are not the first cases of people coming from another universe."
Aizawa remarked, "If that was the case, wouldn't we know about it by now?"
Oda replied as he opened the case, "This was a carefully guarded secret that only those with the proper clearance, or are the leaders of an entire country are aware of. Not everyone is ready to know of this, else the world descends into total chaos, so there are limits to how many people know about this. Things have been quiet since now because those two are the first anomalies our organization had detected since it was founded. The last time visitors from another reality came to our world was decades before Quirks started to manifest, in the year 1982."
Aizawa asked, "Then you have a way to send them back, and out of our hair?"
Oda shook his head as he replied, "If we were capable of that, would we have already done so by now?"
Nezu chuckled as he said, "Agent Oda has a point there, Aizawa. So why are you here, agent, and telling us this…?"
Oda answered as he pulled out two folders, "The group that eventually gave rise to our organization was told by a deity who oversees the barriers that separate realities, that there are some visitors who know of this matter of different realities and even traverse through them. It was important that she told us passwords and a keyword that tells us that anyone who knows them and gives the keyword that they work for this deity, anyone from another universe that knows those passwords and codes always are here to help. No one but our organization and those who work directly under this deity know what both are. The young visitors gave us a list of names that they said would be trustworthy of knowing this secret, though they had pointed out that they had no idea how they know the names provided. Likely a confirmation of what they told you Detective Tsukauchi, about them having memory problems."
"So, they gave you a list of trusted individuals to give this information, and our names are on that list?" Tsukauchi asked, to which the agent said, "Yes, they also specified that they should have the ability to share this information about hailing from another universe with anyone they choose. Saying something about not being fond of lying to any friends they make…"
Izuku was floored hearing this, especially as his rescuers think he was trustworthy enough to know this information that only world leaders and global government agents know about.
Aizawa sighed as he then asked, "Alright, but what about those folders? What are they for…"
Oda answered, "They are meant to be identifications for the two visitors. Normally, these would have already been filled out, but circumstances have largely left the matter unattended until now, especially as the two young visitors haven't given us any information outside their given names, Sean and Rosa."
Nezu looked at the folders as they contained identification papers, but they are blank, Agent Oda continued, "As you are to be entrusted with this information I've given you, I think it would be beneficial if you all help those two create identities. The world leaders have learned and accepted the circumstances and are willing to implement whatever is necessary to confirm their identities as to not arouse suspicion."
Nezu closed the folder and handed it to Tsukauchi as he said to the detective, "Well, as this is your station, how about we gather our two helpers and get this sorted out…"
Tsukauchi nodded as he said, "Right, I'll get the Hashimotos right now…" he then left the room to fetch Sean and Rosa.
It took about ten minutes for Tsukauchi to gather Sean and Rosa into the interrogation room the natives and agent were in. Izuku, embarrassed to admit this, was captivated by Rosa's beauty, and he reprimanded himself in his mind for gawking at a married woman, let alone gawking at her like a gravure magazine.
"I take it you know?" Rosa asked as she sat down.
Aizawa spoke for everyone, "Yes, although I still don't trust the two of you. I am willing to have you earn my trust…"
"But, for now…" Tsukauchi said as he placed two folders on the desk, "We were asked to help you two create identities so you don't arouse too much suspicion among the people…"
The couple grabbed the folders as Nezu walked up and introduced himself, "Well, we should introduce ourselves formally. I am Nezu, principal of U-A High School, the institution whose students you rescued from that villain attack."
Rosa and Sean looked at Nezu as the former said with a quick bow, "Pleased to meet you. But, if I may ask, what are you supposed to be?"
Nezu chuckled as he replied, "Well, I may be a mouse, or a bear, or a dog, that is for me to know and you to find out…"
Sean commented, "Then you must be a chimera, a creature that has traits found in different animals…"
Nezu's eyes widened as he remarked, "Oh! I never thought of myself as a chimera. But, hee-hee, that's a perfect description of myself, I will have to remember that, young man…"
Recovery Girl walked up as she then introduced herself, "Well, as for me, I am Chiyo Shuuzenji, but my hero name is the Youthful Heroine, Recovery Girl. I am U-A High's nurse and on-staff medical professional. I'm tickled pink to meet such lovely young folks like yourselves."
The pair bowed as Sean said, "It's nice to meet you as well, you remind me of my grandmother on my mom's side, Shuuzenji-san."
Recovery Girl chuckled as she said, "Oh, there's no need to be so formal with me. You can just call me Recovery Girl…"
Izuku nervously walked up, and formally introduced himself, "Uh…umm…I…I'm Izuku-ku Mi-Midoriya…though, you already knew that, sort of…"
"On the basis that the two of us somehow knew your names before you even introduced yourselves? That is what you were going to say, right?" Rosa questioned, and Izuku nodded shyly in response.
'Aww…he's so cute…like a little puppy…' Rosa thought as she saw her husband roll his eyes with a smirk, knowing exactly what she is thinking.
Sean looked at the sleep-deprived grump looking at them, then asked, "I take it you must be Shota Aizawa? I heard a couple of officers say your name in whispers…"
Aizawa sighed as he said, "Yes…that is me…"
Rosa turned her attention to the man dressed in a black suit, and inquired, "And you are the agent we chatted with a little…?"
The man spoke, "Yes, I am Agent Oda. My real name is classified, and you two better not speak of me to anyone else."
Rosa nodded as she replied, "Understood…how about we get these identification papers filled out…"
The two grabbed pens to write down this information, but Nezu had an idea forming in his head after witnessing the footage from the U.S.J. after the attack, specifically when it came back online after Sean knocked the facility's door off its hinges.
He raised a paw as he said, "Hold on, you two…"
Aizawa turned to his boss and asked, "Hold on, Nezu, sir. What are you doing?"
Sean asked in a respectful tone, already putting his name down, "What is it?"
Nezu nodded as he responded, "I had seen what the two of you were capable of thanks to the security footage you, Mr. Hashimoto, restarted when the two of you arrived at the U.S.J. when you knocked that door away. And, I witnessed you also dealing with that Nomu. I overheard what you said about it as you, quite frankly, tore it apart…"
"Not to mention you healed, otherwise, compromising injuries to three of our school's faculty, like they never had them in the first place…" Recovery Girl added.
All Might chuckled as he said, "Yeah, I have to find some way to pay you back for your kindness…"
Rosa waved it off as she said, "Not really any problem, though, because of our friends, my husband could've wrapped it up quicker if 'those twos' influence didn't rub off on him…"
Nezu pondered a bit on who these two people Rosa mentioned are, but he decided to question them later as he continued, "Well, I could see how much the two of you could offer to our school. Especially in tutoring our students into being future heroes. Although, I will confess that your appearance will make it hard to pass you two off as guest lecturers. And I wish for you two to serve as more recurring role models for the hopeful future heroes…"
"Huh? Wh-what are you saying, Principal Nezu?" Izuku asked, with Sean adding, "I agree with the kid, what do you want from us, sir?"
Nezu smiled and let out a quick chuckle as he summed up what he was thinking in the form of a question…
"How would you two like to stay at U-A High, as students…?" Principal Nezu asked Sean and Rosa, to the two's bewilderment…
To Be Continued…
Author's Notes:
So Nezu wants our other-dimensional visitors to become transfer students at U-A High? Hmm…what are his motivations for such an act? My money's on him wanting to train and motivate the hero-course students. What about you?
There's a lot more to Sean and Rosa it seems, enough for Nezu to think they might help his students become better, stronger heroes. No denying that Nezu is really smart, so I think he would be able to tell that the two are more than capable of helping his students using their prior experience.
While I have a very rough idea of how things will go for now, I am curious about what you guys think will happen. So, here are a few questions I want to hear what you are speculating about going forward…
"Considering the possibility that Sean and Rosa will attend U-A High in separate classes, which class do you think Rosa and Sean will end up in? Rosa in Class 1-A or Class 1-B, same thing for Sean in inverse…"
"How could Sean and Rosa help the students of U-A improve as heroes?"
"What do you think, for the sake of blending in (and Izuku being there to help with the cover) would Sean and Rosa's quirks would be?"
Oh, wait! Forget that last one, it will be answered in the next chapter.
Well, that's all I have to say for now…
Till next time…
