Justice Across Space and Time

Chapter 3

So now we're getting to the training and how Izuku is gonna progress with a pair of trainers who possess unusual abilities and skills. I decided to go with peppering in a few flashbacks during their time training in the time stop space, including as few where the OCs are gonna talk a little about their past and abilities. And if you're wondering about food and the like for the characters, I'll be handling a bit of that in this chapter. So on with the show. Also, I'll admit my humor is a more dry and sarcastic type so some of the jokes might not seem like jokes.

(No POV)

Once All Might and Izuku's eyes had adjusted after the flash of light the blue skinned girl unleashed, they looked around and saw a hazy appearance to everything. The thing that shocked them more at one point was that they could see birds just outside the boundary; in mid-flight and not moving. It took them about five minutes to shake the surprise of seeing what they had believed impossible, even by quirk standards.

When that was done, Izuku started shouting "how is this possible! You both said you don't have a quirk. And as far as any science and study of quirks goes, no one has any kind of ability like this! Is it some sort of tech-based capability? No, she called it magic. But magic doesn't exist or does it…..mumble mumble."

"So, are you gonna be lost in your own little world within this time accelerated world for a while or what?" Jotaro asked with a bemused look on his face. This snapped Izuku out of it and he was able to focus in on the two unusual people who appeared to be helping him out.

All Might, while still reeling from this impossibility, adjusted more quickly and brought up a problem to their current situation. "Even if this space is accelerated, we will still need necessities. Food, water, a place to sleep or rest, a place to use the bathroom or wash up. How exactly are you planning to deal with that?!"

Jotaro and Saphentite shared a wry smile before both pointed out "There is a literal genie in front of you. She (I, depends on who is talking) can create food out of thin air. Pointless stuff like logic, reason, rational thought and perspective, even physics are worthless to both of us."

To illustrate said point Saphentite waved her hand and created a plate full of sandwiches. "Normally I'd leave the cooking to Joh- I mean Jotaro since he likes cooking and is pretty good at it, but we're pressed for time and we need to get started."

"Though she is limited in certain ways too. She can't warp or change reality too far. Nor can she just make whatever you wish for happen anymore. But small stuff like making food or a structure isn't hard at all and doesn't have too many long lasting issues."

"Right so Izuku we'll keep this simple for now. You and I are gonna fight for a while." Jotaro says. While Izuku on the other hand has a completely freaked out look shouting "Wait! What?"

"You need to first figure out how you want to fight or what feels right for your body first. Having a power is great and all but it doesn't equate to knowing your own body and the way you can fight best." As Jotaro is saying this takes off the outer shirt he is wearing.

Even though he is wearing a t-shirt under, the shirt is tight across his chest and shows off the impressive muscles he has. Izuku feels too intimidated to move so… "If you won't make the first move, I will!" and with that Jotaro rushes at Izuku, going for a punch to the face while smiling. Izuku dodges in time but just barely. He had not only been intimidated by Jotaro's size but the bit of killing intent that seemed to be coming from him.

"Good. Even though you were scared and probably a bit overwhelmed you still found the strength and courage to move. That's one of the best starts we could have in this case." Jotaro says with a more relaxed smile rather than the look of bloodlust before. "Now, I'm not gonna attack you. Instead you are going to come at me with whatever you've got or can imagine up for an attack. And I won't hit back right away. I'll just dodge or block instead." Izuku is confused by this statement and asks, "wait why are you not going to be fighting back?"

"You need to get a better feel for how you want to fight like I said. To do that you have to fight on your own merit and with whatever skill you think you have. And no this has nothing to do with a power or anything like that. People can fight without something like that and have for millennia. So, for now try and throw punches or kicks that feel right." And with that Jotaro takes a stance with his right foot behind his left and his left side to Izuku. Who in turn clenches his fists and gets a rough boxer like stance.

While this is going on, Saphentite has created chairs and a few other amenity-like places for when Izuku and to an extent All Might get tired. She and All Might are currently sitting on chairs she created and watching while the other two spar. After a few minutes, she asks All Might a question that has been bothering her, "Surely with the meta abilities that everyone is so proud of, they should have been able to heal you. So, why are you stuck in this emaciated state?"

He sighs and looks to her with a bit of resignation "even with the best healing quirks and the surgeries I've undergone, they couldn't heal me back to full. Its pretty hard to replace a missing stomach and badly destroyed lungs."

He looks back to the boys sparing and contemplating what is to come. "Not just due to my injury but also the fact that I'm getting older. Sooner or later I will have to retire. And when that day comes, I'll have to entrust the future to young hopefuls like young Midoriya and even young…. Jotaro? You two only gave what I'm guessing are your given names, not your family names."

"Oh yeah that is more of a thing in eastern countries. We'll talk about that later but….. really?! The silly superpowers you are all so proud of hasn't helped advance medical science enough to where you can clone or recreate organs that have been lost. Let alone just going with a transplant surgery can't help you?!" Saphentite asks while pinching the bridge of her nose in annoyance. "Ok you know what, once those two get done with their sparing for a while we'll fix you up."

All Might while she is saying all of this has a shocked look on his face and, once she's done ranting, he says "whoa whoa whoa wait. What?! How can both of you help? I get you're a genie, but you even said some of your power is limited! And I thought his power was just some sort of super strength! So how can he help heal someone?!"

Saphentite just gives him a deadpan look. "First of all, just because my power is limited doesn't mean I can't create the cells that would make up your stomach and lungs. And second, why would you assume a metahuman's capability is so simple and one note with their power. Or only has one base ability."

All Might is a bit taken aback but explains "Well that's how quirks are… for the most part anyway. A person with a quirk only has an ability that in many cases is very simplistic and straight to the point. Let alone the fact that there are often drawbacks to the powers. Like for a pyrokinetic or cryokinetic they could either get frostbite or burn up their own bodies if they overuse their power. Others may have issues like overloading their brain if they have an electric quirk or it can only be used from a certain part of the body or with specific equipment. Even mutant type come with a few issues and drawbacks to how they are used. It's just how quirks are. Midoriya in his case must worry about the recoil from throwing a punch because the power is too much for most anyone to handle. Even just the average person will have a simple ability like extending fingers, glowing, making your hands like stone etc."

Saphentite's face can't get any more deadpan as she facepalms and shakes her head. "Ok…. Putting aside the greater stupidity of everyone having completely worthless abilities they shouldn't even want. Or rather need because they all seem like garbage. I'm going to guess you, even though you didn't have a power yourself, didn't have a problem with the recoil, did you?"

"Um no…. ha-how- how did you know." She floats up and grabs a few drinks from the fridge she created and hands one to All Might. "The way you went about describing your power that you passed to him. My guess, your ancestry granted you with stronger bones, muscles and ligaments compared to most Japanese. Given the hair color and your build both buffed up and like this you more than likely have some Euro ancestry. Probably a family member who is from the states or something."

"Wait how did you- "She cuts him off with "not important right now. Right now, we need to focus on fixing you up and getting green bean there ready. Speaking of which." The boys have stopped sparing, with Izuku breathing heavily while Jotaro looks like he hasn't even broken a sweat. "Ok looks like you have something of an idea on how to fight now, let alone how your own body wants to move in a fight. We'll take a break and rehydrate you." When the two reach the rest area and have gotten some water Saphentite mentions her plan and idea to fix up All Might a bit.

"Probably wouldn't hurt to do. And I'm guessing you want to use my gamma energy to stimulate the cells you'll recreate right?"

"Whoa back up a bit! Did you just say gamma energy?! As in gamma radiation?! Are you crazy that would kill me!" Both All Might and Izuku are freaking out at that prospect. Especially since they are talking about Jotaro using gamma energy and he just spent a few hours sparing with a guy powered by radiation.

"Ok calm down. It's not exactly like that. It is true I can use gamma radiation and it can kill. But depending on the frequency of the radiation it can also stimulate cell regrowth." Jotaro holds his hands up in defense and explains. While they have been talking, Saphentite has set up a table for them to operate on. "Good. We're all set up to work we just need you to take off your shirt All Might, and we can get started. Don't worry we've done this before. Even to ourselves. Well, me more so. She doesn't have to worry since she's a genie."

With a sigh of resignation, All Might lies does just that. But he stays ready just in case they do try to do something that would kill him. He isn't sure he can take both of them down, but he has already passed One For All to the next. He can still bet on the next holder to carry on his hopes and will, as well as become the next symbol of peace. With a wave of her hands, Saphentite starts a spell around the wound and the other areas that All Might mentioned were damaged from his fight. While Jotaro can't see the parts where she has reformed the old cells, he can sense the start for the change. As well as something else that even All Might isn't aware of.

So he channels his healing gamma wave, in small amounts, to those areas. The resulting gamma energy, and a few other energies moving through him, restores not just All Might's organs but brings some life back into his eyes. While he won't be the same as he was (no bringing him back to looking like his two heroes self) he can breathe properly again and he can even feel his stomach. And how empty it is.

When he stands up from the table his hair is still down but rather than looking like a skeleton, he looks closer to his buffed-up hero self (try to imagine a happy medium between the two forms). He can even tell he's regained some of the time that had been dwindling away. He could be in full hero form for at least 6 hours. And even without One For All, he is still stronger and in infinitely less pain than before.

"Well glad that worked. How are you feeling?" Saphentite asks and then suddenly All Might grabs her and Jotaro into a big hug thanking them profusely. "I believed I had lost everything. I was stuck at feeling like I was becoming useless. But you've both pulled me up and helped me recover. Thank you. Thank you so much!" Jotaro just smiles and looks warmly at Saphentite. "She has both a good and bad habit of pulling people back from the brink. My sarcasm has rubbed off on her over time but she's still quite the optimist."

Izuku can't believe what he has seen yet again. These two strange people have managed to buy him time to learn more and have restored the symbol of peace more than any doctor he has seen in their world. But before he can start in on questions Jotaro tells him, "it seems like that power he passed to you has settled in. Now we can get started on some real training and understanding." He cracks his knuckles and heads back to the spar area. "Lets' get back to it."

Back in real time the whited-out area on Dagobah beach disappears after about an hour. And once it has, the four emerge. All Might in his medium Might form, Izuku looking a bit bigger and stronger than when he went in (with a bit more confidence and heart than before), and both Saphentite and Jotaro looking pleased with themselves on having helped both. Before they left the zone, the unusual two told All Might and Izuku that they will also be taking the UA entrance exam.

With Jotaro saying: "There's still a lot I can help you with. And I want to see how you can grow. Besides, it'll get those jokes who call themselves heroes off our backs if we go through some of the schooling. Even though technically I don't have a quirk they still want to arrest me based on their pitiful narrow-minded arrogance." Once he had said that though, Saphentite smacks him over the head for that rather rude statement. "OW HEY!"

"I know about your opinions on a lot of this warped world of quirks but there are way too many times that you pretty spiteful. So back off!" He sighs but relents with "Alright. I'll lay off a bit. But if there is some asshole who pisses me off too much its on!" Saphentite pinches the bridge of her nose saying, "yes and when that happens, I'll remind you again." After what felt like six months of training together Izuku and All Might had gotten used to and were constantly amused by the other pair's interactions. But they had no more extra time to waste. The UA entrance exam awaited them.

So yeah. I decided to just go along with my original idea and plan to sprinkle in a couple of flashbacks on their training together. You'll see a few in the next chapter which will be up soon. To be honest I've had this and about a dozen other stories built in my mind from various fanfiction categories. This was just the first so I could put out my Superman character of my own comic universe as well as his best friend a genie who may not have reality warping power anymore but she has learned a variety of spells and other magic to give her a lot of potential. Once this one is done, I'm thinking on a Huntik story, an ATOM (or at least martial arts from there) story, another story from my comics, and a few other ideas. Please like, follow and leave a review because, aside from just creating the outline of this plus a space western short novel series, I'm don't write much more than research papers and a prospectus for graduate school and reports from dig sites.
