Justice Across Time and Space

Chapter 5

So this chapter will be following my OC's. Mostly Jotaro. I'll also drop a few other parts to point out about some other things from my own universe. I'm kinda using this medium to feel out more of what people think about my characters and stories. Might toss in some parts from some MHA characters I skipped over last part. Anyway… On with the show.

(Jotaro POV)

After sniping back at that jerk who made a big deal about not everything being explained up front, I checked my number and it had site one on it. And when I heard that jerk Bakugo was also at site one… heh well this is gonna be fun. For one of us anyway. After we each got up to leave Saphee or rather Sahirah caught me before heading to her bus. "I saw that look." "What look?" I say trying to keep a straight face and turning away from her.

"Don't joke around John, I'm serious. What were you smiling about? And please just be honest." Even without seeing I know she is looking at me with a mixture of both concern and a bit of disappointment. Not that the latter isn't unwarranted. "Okay. I'm at battlefield one. And so is Bakugo." She sighs and has hem haws around a bit before saying. "Don't try to sabotage him okay. We both know he kinda deserves to lose everything here. But there is no reason to take away or cripple his powers or anything like that. Just focus on your own score."

"Ok. I'll hold back a little bit but no permanent promises. And if I focus on my score, he probably won't be able to do anything about it or even keep up. He doesn't seem the type to stick his neck out for someone else." I can tell she's giving me a questioning look, so I explain,

"I'm betting there's more to this whole exam. And its not just about taking down villains. Mic's explanation, the fact that he called it an obstacle more than an enemy specifically. The whole school motto of plus ultra and pushing beyond. More than that, if these guys and their tests are just about fighting villains then that's no better that just training up a bunch of thugs. Which frankly is about what Bakugo seems to think everything of being a hero is about."

She puts her hand under her chin and mulls it over before saying, "That's probably the fault of the media, as usual. They're almost always garbage and only show what sells." I snort at the smart mouth she learned from me.

"Good luck out there Sahirah. I know you'll be a top fighter, but I hope you do it your way. And shine the calming light that you always do." I smile as I head for my bus. Even without looking, I can tell she has a content and happy smile on her face. Once we load up on the bus to go to the battleground, I can already feel everyone's eyes on me. Most are just looking at me as the guy who talked back to the glasses guy in the auditorium. But I know the most intense glare is coming from a certain angry Pomeranian. To which I just shake my head, and chuckle to myself.

When we arrived at the exam site, everyone is getting ready with either sets of equipment to use their quirks (still and dumb name) or have changed into workout or athletic gear. "hey!" While that is going on, I'm heading toward the "hey!" heading toward where the entrance is to get ready. "HEY asshole! You! Big guy with the sunglasses! Look at me!" Yes, I am well aware that he is trying to get my attention so he can brag up or try to intimidate me. But I'm not giving the little shithead the satisfaction.

"I said – urg!" And that's when he does the stupid thing of course (because he's only book and somewhat fight smart) and he grabs my shoulder. To which I respond on instinct, by backhand punching him in the face so hard it sends him flying and bloodies his nose. While everyone around me is intimidated by that, I just look around and say, "eh whatever." And with that I've pretty much shut him down on trying to 'assert his dominance' or whatever bullshit he wants to pull. He's not dumb enough to try and fight for the simple fact the practical starts soon.

Once I hear the doors to the city open, I sprint off. No one else is ready since most were still dumbstruck by my smacking the little shit like that. As I'm going through the city, I break almost every robot with a punch. I may not have my full strength, but it seems like they went with easily breakable bots. Probably a good thing. This is a school entrance exam after all.

If they don't make it to where people can do some damage, with as weak as a lot of quirks are, then they won't get enough to for the government to pay out for their training. Damnit that feels all kinds of wrong to say. Ever since my powers awakened, I've never felt comfortable with the idea of working for the government by using my powers. I'll aid them in crisis, but I'm not working for them. Especially after what happened long ago….

Anyway. I know I said I wouldn't sabotage him but its not really my fault that I happen to get most of the bots Bakugo is aiming for. At one point he was literally following me. He'd tried twice to pass me but that led to him getting smacked by a bot. Clearly, he has a bad case of tunnel vision. After that though I happened, yes actually happened, to break bots before he could. I think I've gotten about sixty-four points or so. Not sure lost count after a while. But I also try to help a few others, though mostly those who miss that rubble is about to come down on their heads.

Like this one girl who seem to be throwing acid or something on the bots. Tricky ability as is the flexibility she shows while attacking and dodging. Though its not gonna help her when the top of a building is coming at her. An intriguing one was the short, and I mean really short, kid who seemed to be going more for stopping the villains with some sort of balls and hitting a button to turn some of them off. Not if that count but given the electrical energy I sense around, there's more than likely hundreds of cameras watching all of this going down.

Then I feel something rumbling out of the ground. Given how big it feels, it is more than likely that zero-point bot that glasses guy wouldn't wait to hear about. I leap my way over too it and I see the strangest sight. There was a girl with very large hands a little way in front of it. She more than likely fell trying to get away from it (don't really blame her or most anybody else who did that. Not everybody has as dense a body as I do) and couldn't get up before it was almost on top of her. No that isn't the strange thing. No, the strange part is that the bot had stopped or rather one tank tred had stopped or been gummed up.

Tiny despite seeming like a coward had tried to stop or slow the thing with those things. It's not a permanent solution or fix but it actually did slow it down. Not sure if he did it because of the girl there or if he did it just out of fear. Either way, he had the guts and heart to try. Though he is apparently dumbstruck that it worked. Cause he's not moving.

The girl yells at him to move and he seems to snap out of it. She also still tries to run, but I'm guessing she rolled her ankle. So she can't move too fast. I got there just as the huge fist of the bot was about to crush them both. Though the big handed girl has got plenty of heart herself. Shorty had the problem of too small of legs, let alone the fact he stopped after realizing what he managed. And I guess out of respect that he tried to save her, she picked him up and threw him out of the way as far as she could.

When she sees that she isn't going to be crushed she looks up at me and asks "Who? What? How? Where?"

"Is this really the time to be playing the random questions game?!" I shout as she snaps out of it. "Can you hold it for long? I can't move very fast right now." I grunt and just say "or I can just finish this now. Stay or rather get back as far as you can! I don't know how badly this thing'll fragment once I'm done."

And with that I shove the bot back with as much strength that I can muster (while in this state), which makes it bounce back a bit. Then I finish it after ripping the big metal arm out and crushing it with its own arm. There is a bit of debris that falls towards her. She smacks the first few pieces away, but when the head starts falling towards her, she knows she can't stop it and braces for the hit. But when it doesn't come, she looks up and sees me holding the head like atlas holding the world. "You okay?" "Y-Yeah thanks"

"Hey! Are you two okay?!" Guess short stuff has some more of the right stuff in him than I thought. "OH MAN! That was crazy! I just started using my quirk as best I could, I wasn't even sure it would work. And then- whoa hello sexy-"

"Okay bub hold it. I'm just gonna stop you right there before you finish that sentence." He looks up to me and asks, "what do you mean? She's attractive and fit girl what's wrong with saying that?" I pinch the bridge of my nose, shake my head (not the first pervert who is trying to be a hero I've experienced but still) and tell him "Isn't there you should say first."

He thinks for a sec and then says, "Oh yeah, thanks for the save. Or maybe it was a reciprocal save. I started throwing more of my balls when I saw you fell." The girls sighs and says, "while I'm not overly appreciative of the whole just focusing on the fact I'm attractive, I do appreciate that you still tried to help even when you had no clue it would work." This seems to make him feel better about his chances but before he gets the chance to say anything I say, "Yeah even if it was desperate it wasn't a bad idea. But next time don't be so overly surprised that it worked that you forget to keep moving."

"Right…" He says despondently. He perks up though and introduces himself, "Uh my name's Mineta Minoru. What's your name?" Pretty sure that was mostly directed to the girl, but he was smart enough to play it off. "Oh yeah what is your name big guy? I'm Kendo Itsuka." Okay, I heard a little something different there from her, but I'll worry about that later. "Uhh you're gonna have to stick to calling me by my given name. Pretty sure neither of you can pronounce my family name. I'm Jotaro Svoboda. My last name is Czech."

"Yeah, ok definitely can't pronounce that with the Japanese tongue." Minoru says rather bluntly. Which is something I do appreciate. Tiptoeing around an issue doesn't help. Then I hear Itsuka suck in air as she tries to walk on her hurt ankle. "The response group for the exams just got here but they're a ways off. I can carry you both back so we can get out of here sooner." Minoru perks up and says, "Really? Thanks man."

"Yeah thanks for the help." Not sure why Itsuka said that in a soft voice but whatever. "Alright hop on my back Minoru. I'll pick up Itsuka." The little guy nods before saying, "Uh right."

"Wait. What!" she says as I grab under her legs and back. Minoru on the other hand got himself under my sweatshirt. When I ask why he did that he says, "I saw how you leapt around the place earlier. I'm not taking any chances on falling off. So I'm getting as close as I can."

"Eh fair enough. Hang on!" I leap into the air high above the buildings that make up the mock city. After two leaps, we land back at the entrance where this old woman comes in and appears to be kissing some of the injured. "So, what's up with the old lady."

"Well I never young man! Well you can forget about me healing you up after that." I raise an eyebrow at that statement (I know she's lying, but she needs to set an example) and say, "that's fine. I don't need it right now anyway. Itsuka here is the one hurt. Think she twisted her ankle."

"Can you put me down now?! This is embarrassing!" she says while Minoru climbs off my back. "Wait, what was that?" I ask because I wasn't paying attention to which she semi-violently exclaims, "PUT. ME. DOWN!" and then enlarges her fist and punches me in the face. I doesn't hurt but it is annoying, so I say (a bit nasally), "Okay, okay! Just relax. I'll set you down." Once that is done, recovery girl kisses the Itsuka's ankle which heals it right up. But it is still a weird visual.

"Hey good luck you two with everything. I gotta head out. I'll probably see you later." Minoru gives me a thumbs up and says, "heck yeah man. No way they won't accept you." Itsuka on the other hand just says, "yeah and hey thanks for the save and the help." I just smile and say. "Isn't that what we're all here to do? Or rather learn to do? Later!"

(Saphentite POV)

I know I shouldn't be worried about what John could do, but I'm a bit afraid of what he could have planned especially since we know about Izuku's history with that Bakugo boy. Ahhh! Never mind! Whatever happens, will happen. I can't change that part or what is gonna happen next. So instead I'm psyching myself up and stretching out for this. I'll keep it mostly simple; some basic blast spells, maybe go into the martial arts I've learned. I'm of course gonna fly around but even then, I know more battles take place on the ground than anywhere else. Mid-air battles are always messy anyway.

Then I decide to change into something a little more comfortable for the fight. With a snap of my fingers, I change into a tight tank top (with a sports bra underneath) and a comfortable pair of sweats. I keep my sneakers though. Love the comfort of them. "Whoa that is a cool quirk! But is it really helpful for a fight like this is gonna be?" I look over and see a young boy with shaggy black hair and shark like teeth who is giving me a questioning look.

Of course, I can tell he's looking at few other parts of me more than my face. Though relative to a lot of the other guys (and some of the girls too) he isn't to bad. More like he's trying to figure me out. I smile coyly and poke him in the chest, which makes him blush, and say, "Who says that's my only trick?"

That's when I hear Present Mic shout "BEGIN!" To which I turn around and fly off to find my first targets. Apparently, no one else is quick or smart enough to go because Mic has to follow up shortly after to tell everyone else to get moving. As I fly around is spot a few two-point robots behind a building and blast them with a few spells. They break rather easy but that probably should be expected.

They are sturdy but against those with a lot of different force at their disposal, its no surprise they can't hold up. While I'm flying around, I notice a boy who seems to be as tall as John is. He's doing some strange thing with his… six arms? Ok guess its not the craziest thing I've seen. Then I spot that boy who was asking how helpful my power was. I have to admit I'm a bit impressed. Not only at the damage he can take but also that he can dish out a fair amount when he gets close. He goes a bit too forward in a lot of his attacks though.

And he apparently doesn't look behind him. As he is about to be attacked by two robots, I blast them. When he looks up and sees me, the look of shock on his face is almost priceless. "Told you I had a few tricks." I land and there is a one-point bot coming at us. So, I take this chance to show off again. I rush at it dodging its strike with an almost dancer grace, and smash my fist clean through the head. And now he and a few others have to pick their jaws up off the ground. I roll my eyes and take flight once again.

After a while I've gained quite a few points around sixty-five points when I see a huge robot appear out and start attacking the mock city. And…. Ok honestly, I'm just a bit surprised at the amount of crazy to make this thing. Let alone unleashing it on a bunch of kids! But I guess if they couldn't face up to big threat like that then they… and that is what he meant. He must have suspected that they would test whether someone would be willing to jump in to save someone else.

I fly over and I see the six-armed boy trying to help and protect…. A floating set of clothes? Ok this is just getting weirder and weirder. But he can't move quite fast enough to get away from it. I fly down as create a barrier to protect both of them as well as myself. But I have to admit; this thing's blows actually are pretty heavy.

"I can't hold this forever! Go!" At that the six-armed boy takes off doing his best to protect… whoever that is. John would probably be able to tell without asking. The part that makes me annoyed is that if I was at my full capability taking this thing down would be easy. As it is, both me and John are stuck at low levels, like with a teacher system in an MMO or something. Damn. When was the last time I played a good MMO and… oh crap.

Shouldn't have gotten distracted. That little bit of my mind wandering was enough to weaken my barrier and the bot breaks through. I know I'll survive the hit, at least I'm pretty sure. But then all of the sudden the shark toothed boy comes out of nowhere, grabs me and throws me out of the way. And promptly gets smashed. "TIME'S UP!" Present Mic announces and the zero-pointer lifts it's arm up and I can see the boy down in the crater. Just when I'm about to check to see if he's okay he jumps up shouting "I'M ALIVE!" which does surprise me. "You are one crazy gutsy guy you know that?" I say to him with a smile. "Any injuries?"

"Nah I'm good. I can harden my body so I can take quite a lot of hits. However, I would really like to not go through that again." He says as he demonstrates his hardening ability. Well that explains, how and why he did that. But still I doubt he knew he'd be able to tank that huge hit. "Well, how about I give you a lift to the entrance? We'll grab the two I saved originally on the way."

"Ok but how will we all- "as he's talking, I create a magic carpet and pat next to me to get on. He does with some reservation, and once it takes off, he grips the edge for dear life. The six-armed boy and the clothes aren't too far away and we fly down and offer them a ride. That's when I realize that the clothes or rather the person is a girl when she cheerily says, "Wow really! And is that a real magic carpet or is it something to do with your quirk?"

She's a bit of a bubbly girl, isn't she? Though her invisibility is weird. Like what she can't make other stuff invisible? It's just her skin? Ohhhh that's a bit of a rabbit hole. Pretty sure I don't want to follow it. To get my mind off of it I ask, "Anybody need a little patching up? Oh, and my name is Saphentite Anwar." The big guy speaks up first, "yeah I hurt one of my arms catching her after she fell. Its not a huge deal though. Someone else could go first. Oh, my name is Shoji Mezo."

The invisible girl speaks up next, "I'm good thanks to you Shoji-kun I'm not hurt at all. And my name's Hagakure Toru!" The shark toothed boy finally gives me his name by saying, "well you know I'm already okay. But my name is Kirishima Eijiro. Good to meet you Saphentite."

"Oh, I forgot to say this earlier, but I introduced myself in the western way. My family name is Anwar. My given name is Saphentite. Though personally I don't really care which you use." I say with a beaming smile while I make some gauze to patch up Shoji. The boys blush a little, probably thinking I'm cute or something and Toru pops in with the question, "where are you from? If you introduce yourself that way, you're from the west right?"

"My dad is from Pakistan. That's where the last name comes from and he was more comfortable with the first or given, middle and last or family naming convention." They all oooh at that but I guess it is a bit of novelty for them since they've probably never met someone foreign. Once we land, they start to talk about how well they did. But I tell them I have to go and that I have to meet up with family once I'm done. "Hey!" I turn and see Eijiro looking a bit bashful and he says, "I hope I'll see you in class." I give him another bright smile and say, "you will. I have no doubt about that.".

I'll admit this is one of my longest chapters yet. But I had a lot I wanted to put in. Including, some parts for reasons why certain characters are in the hero course. Like in the case of Mineta. I know everyone wants to hate him, but most of that is due to Horikoshi and how he wanted to write in the token pervert character. Besides, he's shown some guts and heart. Plus, if it had been a girl character in his place everyone would have thought it was hot in some way rather than thinking they were just a pervert. Looking at you Midnight. So yeah there's that. Anyway please review if you liked it or not.
