Chapter 12

Izuku was sweeping the debris from yesterday, trying to get all of the wood and paper picked up. After their talk, Ukyo told him that it was ok to rest, let the shop stay closed for the day. When she had said that Ranma and Akane both looked rather confused. "So, Ukyo likes making money?" Izuku said, taking another swipe at the debris. There was a lot more than it seemed. Again, Ukyo and the others were at school. This made Izuku wonder, how old were they? They didn't seem that much older then he was.

As he was sweeping an elderly lady was walking past when she stopped to see the young man sweeping. "Oh! Did Ukyo finally find herself a man?" she asked, making Izuku jump.

"No, no! Nothing like that!" Izuku shouted, waving his hands in front of him. Conveniently dropping the broom. "She's letting me stay here and in turn I help around the restaurant!"

The old woman frowned, "oh? It's a shame. She's such a nice girl. Too good for that brute, Ranma Saotome." she seethed. "I wish she would pick someone new." she sighed before walking away.

Izuku just watched as the women walked away. He had been informed of Ukyo and Ranma's status as Fiancees, as well as the problems with that. Now that he was no longer on the move he could finally understand the situation. Ranma was recently promised to three separate hands of marriage, Ukyo, Shampoo, and Akane. If Izuku remembered from his conversation with the Amazon elder so long ago, there could have been more than that. Izuku couldn't help but feel sorry for Ranma. After all, who would want to be betrothed to so many girls? Then again, he knew two people who would have no problem with that situation.

He picked the broom up from the ground, but as he did so he saw a small bit of some kind of slim slowly making its way across the road. Izuku stopped for a moment, watching it. It was slowly making its way along the road. Normally that wouldn't be strange, except that it's traveling uphill. His eyes watched the slime. He could see some colors with it, pink, yellow, browns, it was so strange. He leaned the broom upon the side of the restaurant before following the string. It was slow at first, but then it started to pick up the pass, almost like it noticed it was being followed.

After a while, Izuku could see it pooling at the top of the hill. Slowly, struggling out of the slime was the form of a person. Izuku's eyes widened as he rushed over. It was Tsubasa! He was fighting, struggling to get out of the slime. Izuku rushed over, reaching out to him "Grab my hand!" Izuku called. Tsubasa reached out to take Izuku's hand only for his hand to splash through, slime coating Izuku's hand. Tsubasa's form fell forward, slamming into the hill and dispersing into Slime. Izuku backed up in surprise. What was happening!? Izuku tried to scoop up the sludge that was apparently Tsubasa. He was looking about, hoping to put the slime into, instead of letting it slip through his arms and fingers.

After a while, he finally found something, a metal bucket. Reaching over, he started scooping up the slime, placing it in the bucket, after a while, the slime began to travel up the side of the bucket, collecting itself into it. As Izuku watched mesmerized, he began thinking. As far as Izuku could see, this world had little to no supernatural stuff happening in it. The most supernatural thing to happen so far is Ranma and the group of Cursed individuals. Was Tsubasa cursed? No, that couldn't be it, that stuff only happens with cold water. What could have caused this? After a while, Izuku watched as Tsubasa's head began to form, slowly raising out of slime, and he was panicking.

"What is happening to me!?" he shouted. He turned to look at Izuku before shouting, "what is this!? Help me! Please! I don't know what's going on!" izuku stepped forwards, reaching down to touch Tsubasa's head, but it just felt like slime, with nothing to grip. This gave Izuku an idea!

"How is your head all slimy?" Izuku asked, his eyes watching as the form of Tsubasa was becoming more and more prominent.

He didn't respond at first, that was until his neck and shoulders became fully formed again. "I don't know! I keep thinking about how I was before and my body goes back to normal! But if my mind slips I go back into that sludge!" Tsubasa said, part of his body sliding off and into the bucket, once more a slimy mess.

"Hold still." izuku said.

"Not like I intend to go anywhere!" Tsubasa shouted. Izuku picked up the bucket, slowly before walking. He had an idea of where to go. If anyone knew, it would be the Amazons. Making his way to the Cat Cafe. Tsubasa continued to slowly reform, only to spill every now and then. Once they reached the Cat Cafe however, something inTsubasa stopped. His face became much more stern before turning to Izuku. "You're not bringing me here, are you?" he asked.

Izuku nodded before hefting the bucket a little before opening the door, however, when the door was opened, Tsubasa lurched from the Bucket, his form splattering upon the stone path. Izuku yelped and watched as the slime began to hurriedly scuttle away. That wasn't right.

"Oh ho! Look who's come to visit!" Cologne said, making her presence known. "Izuku, what are you doing here?"

Izuku watched as the remains of Tsubasa blinked from view. What was going on? "I had encountered a… friend? No, definitely not. An acquaintance of Ukyos. Ya, i met an acquaintance of Ukyo's and he was like a slimy sludge. I don't know. It's hard to describe." Izuku said, put the bucket down. The moment the bucket touched the ground, the wind picked the bucket up from the ground, slamming it back down. Once, twice, three times. Lastly it hit the ground a fourth time before laying still.

"Four times…" Cologne said, her voice shaking. "A bad omen." she closed her eyes, almost like she was focusing. After a while, she opened her eyes again. "Young Izuku, return to Ukyo's place. I must look into something. After a couple of days, I'll come speak to you." Izuku nodded his head before turning back. Something wasn't right, but there's nothing else he could do. He could follow Tsubasa, but what would that achieve? He would just run away further. Tsubasa had seemed upset to speak with the amazons. Why? Had he met them before.

"Elder… have you ever met a young man dressed as a girl?" Izuku asked. Though, he immediately wished he hadn't. Cologne's eyebrows raised, almost reaching the top of her head.

"No, I can't say I have. Why?" she said, suspicion in her voice.

Izuku frowned before placing his hand upon his chin. "Because, that's the person I was bringing to you. I thought you might be able to help." Izuku's eyes followed the trail left behind by the slime. "Something tells me we're going to see him again. Real soon." Elder Cologne nodded, before turning and returning inside the Cat Cafe. Izuku began to make his way back to Okonomiyaki Uchans, wondering what could be going on? was this normal? the answer to that was clearly no, but he didn't know the full extend of this world. he would have to check with Ukyo, maybe Tsubasa was cursed like Ranma and Ryoga where? no that couldn't be right, there wasn't any water nearby to trigger that kind of curse. though, Ranma had said that you became a water magnet when your a cursed individual. either way, he had to find out what to do about Tsubasa, and only one person knew him the best.

Down the way in a dark, dirty alleyway Tsubasa found himself once more becoming solid, finally able to walk on his own two feet. His clothes were the same, though looking more attached than the rest of him. He stumbled down the alley, his feet making squishing noises as he walked. "What's happening to me!?" he screamed into the air, collapsing to his knees. he began pounding his fists into the ground, making that sickening squelching noise with each hit. unseen by him, the ground was slowly withering away, making a small pothole where his fist made contact.

"Your power is awakening, though I have never seen such a unique phenomenon." the voice was back, the man in black had returned, standing over Tsubasa. "It would seem those in this world can not take a quirk without it mutating. I had given you a simple Mutation quirk and yet your body is taking it further, mutating into a new quirk all together." he laughed, his voice echoing in Tsubasa's head. "you are not the first, nor will you be the last to react this way to my gifts."

Tsubasa lowered his head, feeling the sludgy texture run across his whole body. "I didn't want this…" he whispered, tears falling from his face. "I didn't want to become… some monster!" he shouted, looking up. When he did so, the man reached down and patted his head.

"You are no monster." he said, his voice soft. "You are something special. Come along, and I will take you somewhere you can learn to harness your new power. There are others. Other students who will help you." behind the man in black stepped in another person, a man by the looks of it. He was clad in a dark green Chinese top and trousers with what looked to be a set of red pantyhose around his waist. "He will take you away from this place. To help you learn your new power." the man in black looked to the man in green before slowly his body began to fade again.

"Come on." the remaining man said, lifting Tsubasa up by the arm. "He wants everyone ready."

"Ready?" Tsubasa asked, "Ready for what?"

The man sneered, "I don't know, but what ever it is he wants, its worth it. he has power to give and I'm willing to take it. i don't care were it comes from." with that he began walking away, slowly making deliberate foot falls before finally coming to a holt. he turned to stare at Tsubasa for a moment before saying. "are you coming or what?"

Tsubasa didn't know why, but he snapped to attention and began following this stranger. hoping that what ever it was that was happening to him would allow him to take his sweet Ukyo away from Ranma Saotome. no matter the cost.

A/N: welp. That's another chapter done. I'm glad I found my spark again. This is the second chapter I have done back to back. I haven't even posted the newest chapter yet (at the time of writing that being 11). I have finally figured out where I'm going with this story, and I hope that people like it. That being said, let's get to the reviews(of course, once I have a couple)!

Chronosign:
1: shits hitting the fan
2: i forget, is Tsubasa a)gay and doesn't know her gender B) straight and knows her gender c)bi and doesn't care?
3:AFO might see nerima as perfect place to gain accesss to vessels for higher grade nomu since people there don't have quirks?
4: interesting fact, the vast majority of crossdressers and drag queens are straight most of those cases are ways to express their preferred type of woman.
is most likely to give Tsubasa a Physical enhancement quirk, they'd be the easiest to find and replace.
6: i feel like the physics of the nerima world would be as likely to heal him as they would be to make him into a "hyper violent team rocket" (team fourstar reference)
7: I think Izuku would've sensed AFO the second he appeared since he about threw up the moment he was indirectly in his presence.
8:theres a technique called battle presence that basically works like murderous intent, i don't think ranma has ever faced ssomeone it has a true intent of murdering him. hed probably have the same reaction the first time izuku encountered him.
9:i wonder if theres a star wars trilody in that dimension, it might help him screw with his mind.

Kain: ok, a lot to unpack here, so i will get the easy answers out of the way first: there is a reason that Izuku didn't feel AFO when he arrived. its reveled in the next chapter, so hold on for that one. also, is shit hitting the fan a good thing or bad thing? can't ever seem to tell. as for Tsubasa, he is a guy who likes to wear demons clothing. his comment to Izuku wasn't trying to be sexual or flirty, its merely a dig at ranma's looks (after all, Tsubasa said in the anime that Ranma looked like a dog/butt ugly so anything to dig at ranma isn't off the table). also, nice detail about the drag queen thing, i never knew that. the power that AFO gave wasn't a strength quirk, as it was shown that AFO had a bunch of copied and stockpiled quirks with the doctor in that one lab. with someone who is so adamant to beat One for All and rule over the world, I'm sure he had more than one lab with as many quirks as he needs. oh, and lastly, i have no idea what's being asked from 9, the pronoun game is really strong with that one.

Monster king: Awesome work please continue

Kain: that's the plan! glad your enjoying my work!

Alright ya'll! thats this chapter done! its a little shorter, thus why its coming out i a bit early, though early is subjective in comparison to the two month wait. just some food for thought, i supose. hope you guys enjoyed this one!
