Justice Across Space and Time

Chapter 10

So you all probably know what is coming next. But it will be quite different to the original of course. And this chapter will have a couple of flashbacks in it. Nothing too long. Just a bit from the training and from the declaration of war chapter. So. On with the show.

The a few days after the break in and Jotaro's fight with Mirio, Aizawa explained that everyone will be doing a special set of hero training. To emphasis his point he writes it on the chalkboard. RESCUE. To this everyone around starts cheering. "Now we get down to some real hero work and lessons! My quirk would be great for a water rescue. This is one of the reason's I want to be a hero!"

"Settle down!" Aizawa says with a flash from his eyes and his hair raising up. Once the class has he continues. "You'll be working with three of your instructors today. Myself, All Might, and one other teacher. But we will have to go to a different area for the training. So, get your costumes and head outside to the buses." With that said the students grabbed their gear and got ready to go. Before they all left though Saphentite caught Aizawa to talk to him. "You said that this training will be away from campus right? I've been going over it a few times since the break in a few days ago. And if you'll remember Jotaro said it best." Aizawa has an even more disgruntled look than normal as he thinks back on it.

(Flashback)

Jotaro and Saphentite walk up to where the teachers and the principal are gathered. A large chunk of the wall has been destroyed. "What are the two of you doing here?" Aizawa says a bit accusingly. "Hey, I had nothing to do with this. Remember. You had me go and fight the supposed top guy at this school."

"Wait what do you mean supposed to? Didn't Mirio beat you?" Jotaro grunts angrily before saying, "I'm pretty sure that isn't important right now. And he'll tell you later." A strange mouse like being coughs to stop the argument before it escalates.

Then he asks the actual question of the two's intentions. "I take it you have more of an idea of who was behind this yes? Oh and before you ask, I am your principal. My name is Nezu." The two students look at each other before Jotaro speaks up. "Not exactly but something I noticed just before the alarms went off was that there seemed to be…. I've got no other word for it: the smell of death in the air. I just thought it might be something further away, but after this I'll bet it was the same one who did this."

Most of the teachers are wide eyed by this statement. Well at least the ones you can tell. Power Loader and Snipe's headgear makes it hard to tell. The only ones who aren't surprised are All Might and Nezu. Then Nezu broaches a topic most don't want to discuss with students. "I'm guessing you have the same thought as I do on what this is then."

Jotaro nods and keeps it simple, "This is a declaration of war." This time the whole of the faculty is unsettled. Minus Nezu again. He in turn responds with, "Yes I feel that as well. It is as if they are saying 'we can break down the walls you try to protect yourself with easy.' And are just taunting us." Saphentite takes this moment to speak her mind, "This isn't just about breaking a wall. It was done stealthily. This was to create an opening for press yes, but if they had smashed or crushed the wall it would have alerted everyone. Whoever did this was after something else."

"I agree young Saphentite. But I don't think we have to worry too much yet. And besides: I AM HERE! I'll stand ready with the others." All Might says as a way to prepare and inspire. And with that the faculty decide to leave it for now.

(Flashback end)

"Right that whole matter. You think whoever did that is going to make a move now?" Aizawa questions. She breathes deep before letting out a sigh. The look on her face says: I'm not entirely sure but I wouldn't be surprised. That is enough for Aizawa to think this all could be much worse than they think. Before they leave, he talks to Present Mic and asks him to call to check in on his class about thirty minutes after they leave. "What for man?"

"Call it a hunch. I may not like that American student of mine, but I don't think he's wrong. Besides, you heard too about how he beat Mirio but stuck around out of respect? He and Anwar seem almost too good at most of the hero stuff we have to practically beat into the students." After chuckling a bit at Aizawa's joke, Mic agrees and tells him if they don't respond he'll bring the rest of the faculty. With a nod Aizawa goes to join his students on the bus.

Ida is apparently lamenting that his loading strategy was pointless with the type of buss they were on. The rest of the students are chatting away about nonsense, everything from the unusual powers that Izuku, Jotaro and Saphentite have, to lamenting that some of their abilities aren't very impressive or eye-catching. Once they reach the huge dome for the rescue training, they all unload and go through the doors to see a multitude of scenarios created in different areas. Landslide, shipwreck, monsoon, even a section that is constantly on fire. 'Its like Universal Studios Japan in here' is what most of the students think.

Then they see the two other figures they will be learning from. All Might to the right with his standard costume on, and another who is wearing what looks like a space suit. "Oh my gosh! It's the Space Hero Thirteen! She's one of my favorites!" Ocacho shouts out after seeing the hero in the space suit. 'Again could they be a bit more predictable with their names?' Jotaro thinks as they are introduced to the new hero. But what surprises him is his explanations and plans for teaching the students.

After rambling for a bit about an increasing number of points she wants to bring up…. But once she focuses she gets down to the point she really wants to bring up: how their quirked world has changed what is safe or why regulations exist. At the mention that her power Black Hole ('Someone with the power of the Void huh. Well, it shouldn't be too bad') could easily kill. She also speaks out to Jotaro as well. She mentions that the young man understands well the need for restraint. And that if nothing else the rest should look to him and All Might on knowing that sometimes you have to be careful on what you can do.

'Well I guess that does explain why they have to give people jobs to where they can use their quirks. For some like him, without proper training it would lead to insane consequences.' Jotaro thinks to himself. 'Still doesn't make them real heroes in most cases, right?' Saphentite communicates in his mind smiling innocently as she does it. Before Jotaro can retort, he stops and sniffs the air.

When a few others ask what he's doing he runs up past Thirteen and All Might. He stops at the top of the stairs and says to All Might, "We've got a big problem!" All of a sudden, a misty black space opens up at the center of the building for everyone to see. A multitude of people walk out of the black space. "Has the training already started?" Kaminari asks panicking a bit. Aizawa grits his teeth and says, "No. Those are villains. And one with a warping quirk."

Jotaro just says that he really shouldn't call most of those others people coming out villains. "You're giving most of them too much credit. There little more than thugs and animals. The….. zombie or something that brought them here though is a different story. Same with the other two huge guys by the portal guy. Let alone the one who destroyed the wall the other day." Everyone looks to him with shock and fear. All Might then asks, "are you sure the one who did that is down there?" Jotaro just slowly turns his head to him and raises and eyebrow to say 'really'.

"Right dumb question. But what do you mean by that there are three zombies down there?" Jotaro turns back to the center where all the enemies have gathered. He sniffs a few more times before saying, "While one of them has a constant smell of death, its more like it is from actually killing people. The two big guys in the middle, I'm betting they were just cadavers or something like that they made for some sick purpose. The portal guy too. He was dead but someone desecrated his body to make a… hm, possibly thinking weapon." Everyone around him is sickened and terrified by how easily he described what is going on. And what might even happen to them if they aren't careful.

That is when Aizawa asks, "how do you know one of them is more capable of thinking." "I can sense energy remember. Human bodies let off a bit of energy. Predominantly the brain. The two bigger ones have almost no brain function. They can't think. My guess they can only follow orders. The portal guy however seems to have at least some brain function. But he is being kinda controlled too."

With all that said All Might and Aizawa get ready to face down the horde of enemies. Jotaro however does not back up when Aizawa tells him to. Instead, Jotaro walks up with them. When he is about to threaten to expel him, All Might stops him and says, "I get the feeling we are going to want and need his help. Besides, he technically doesn't have a quirk, so he doesn't have to follow our usual laws and rules."

Aizawa is stunned by this and wants to refute that statement. But deep down he knows that they will probably need the help. Even with the miraculous healing that All Might had gained, he still was limited on his time. He only wasted about two hours this morning, so he could fight for a while. Still, they could use someone with Jotaro's raw power. As the two begin walking down, Jotaro tosses away his trench coat. Everyone sees the more of the black with red and white accented shirt that Jotaro is wearing. Including the scales on his back and chest.

With that done and All Might cracking his knuckles, he just asks, "you ready for this John?" To which Jotaro smirks and says, "what do you think Toshi?" Both finish this exchange with a chuckle and leave Aizawa feeling a little confused at what he had just heard. Then the two rush down as fast as they can. They both take out over twenty thugs in their first rush alone. Aizawa having to go much slower, still manages to throw off a few of the ones that try to attack them from behind. He then also proceeds to knock out a few more as well.

While this is all going on Thirteen is starting to evacuate the students. However, the portal entity appears in front of them. "Greeting's students of UA. Do not worry. You are not the target of our attack this day. We are just here to kill All Might. But we can't have you leaving on us." Despite how intimidating it was on what he said, it was rather cordial. While most of the students are very terrified especially as a few more thugs come out of his portal to emphasis the being's point of stopping them.

A few want to jump in but Thirteen stops them saying to only fight in self-defense. However, Izuku and Saphentite step ahead of all the others. Izuku takes a stance with his right foot behind his left and his right fist down at his hip palm up. His left however is open palmed in a blocking stance. Saphentite starts tapping her foot and humming a bit before bouncing back and forth lightly on the balls of her feet.

"What are you two doing?! You can't use you're quirks to fight them!" Izuku looks back and says, "We've been over this, but the top three of us don't have quirks remember." "HA. Your quirkless! Man, UA really has fallen. I'll crush this waste of space myself." A large imposing woman coats her hands in what looks like metal before trying to strike Izuku. To which he just blocks and deflects all of her strikes effortlessly. When the woman is getting flustered that someone she views as beneath her is making her look like a fool she tries to up her intensity.

But Izuku deflects one of her blows up before unleashing a OFA and his strange power boosted attack to her stomach. Not only does this make her vomit a bit, but she gets sent flying so hard, she smashes through the domed roof. While this has been happening, Saphentite has been engaging a few of the smaller thugs herself. When they think they have a hit on her, she nimbly dodges and ducks out of the way.

Then proceeds to break a few of their jaws and other parts, with kicks so hard she snaps their necks around or breaks some of their bones with a hit. A few had strengthening or enhancing quirks, but they underestimated her because they thought she didn't have a quirk. Izuku is also engaging a few other thugs and thinking back to a special two months in the time bubble.

(Flashback)

It had been two months in the bubble training before Jotaro announced they'd be doing something a bit different. "You know how to work the power you have now, but you're still trying to be a copy of this guy (points to All Might). Besides there may be times when you can't or rather shouldn't use your powers. This whole world may be made of peacocks wanting to preen with their abilities, but there is still a place for learning proper martial arts. For the next two months we'll be focusing on that." All Might and Izuku are dumbstruck by this statement. "Two months?! How do you know he won't forget how it felt to channel OFA? No offense."

"No I'm with you All Might. How will this help?" The two oddities share a look before saying before Saphentite says, "ok Izuku you'll fight me for a bit. I'm not going to use my genie abilities, just the martial arts I've mastered. You on the other hand will attack with what you can do with your power."

The two who are gonna spar step out a ways. Saphentite then puts her hands in her pockets and stats bouncing on the balls of her feet. She then starts moving a bit back and forth between two spots. Izuku and All Might don't know what to make of this, but Jotaro just smiles know how she is going to smack him down. With OFA charged up, Izuku rushes at Saphentite with a punch. Who proceeds to bend easily back at the hip and dodge the initial blow. While Izuku is parallel with Saphentite, he sees her smile. It was then he knew: he f-ed up.

She follows up with an almost backflip before kicking Izuku's back and slamming him into the ground. After he bounces up a little from the hit, she combos with a spinning round house to his stomach. Izuku is sent flying back into the wall of the time bubble. Just as Izuku is getting his senses back, she flips over him again and drop-kicks his head. And follows in up with a backflip kick that sends him into the air again, and she catches him with her legs and slams him down before holding his head in a leg lock.

All Might is just stunned at what he has all seen, while Jotaro is just nonplused at the whole matter. "All right let's not kill him." Saphentite lets Izuku go, who needs about an hour before he is ready to spar again. He then asks what all that was.

"A few martial arts mixed together. We both are experts in a fair number. What she mostly used on you was Capoeria. I know it as well but she outranks me in that art. I'm a Professor but she is a Contra Mestre. She's also brilliant at kick boxing and jui jitsu. Though in contrast I'm more skilled in Southern Shaolin and Pankration. I also know a bit of a few styles from Japan. We'll be teaching you a few others for the next two months."

"If you're wondering why we want to do this, but it goes back to a problem with the powers in this world. Most of the heroes rely on their powers. They don't think a skilled martial artist could beat them. But those arts were used for combat and killing long before powers came in. So, we'll show you how to make better use of both the power and the body. As once the two months are done, we're gonna make you put them together." Saphentite explains.

Izuku nodded and couldn't wait to get started. Most dojo's wouldn't let him in because he was quirkless. They didn't see the point in teaching him. But know he had two masters who were expert fighter. All Might also joined in during this time. Izuku felt it could really give him a leg up the next time he gets pulled into a fight.

(Flashback end)

Once the few thugs that the portal guy had brought with him were beat, the other students were stunned by what they had seen. A few had seen a bit of Izuku and to an extent Saphentite's skills as fighters, but they thought more of their power came from their powers. 'I should ask them to spar sometime.' Ojiro thought to himself.

(Kurogiri POV)

With his thugs beaten, Kurogiri was about to get close and warp the students away when he heard a sonic boom from the center of the building. He then went back to his master's apprentice to see what had happened. There he saw the blue haired young man, who he knew as Shigiraki Tomura, scratching at his neck incessantly. It was out of the dust that was settling he saw what upset him.

Aaaaannnd cliffhanger. Well kinda. I thought I'd give a little more of what the other two are good at and some background into what more Izuku learned in the time bubble before getting to the big finisher. Please review. I'm guessing people like my story but I'm curious on what your opinions are.
