Justice Across Space and Time
Chapter 29
Sorry to those who are fans of this but I decided to write the movies as a separate set of stories. If you want to see that set, go read Justice of Three Heroes. But for this however, we'll be getting back into the main story and what will happen with the training camp. So on with the show.
(No POV)
"Man all that stuff on I Island was nuts! And I can't believe what you all had to fight!" Mina says as the group meets up back at UA a few days after returning to Japan. After the incident on I Island, the I Expo was canceled, and most visitors and exhibitors had to leave. There had been some repercussions for a few scientists involved in the attack, but there had been some good that had come out of the matter.
Melissa Shield had introduced her own special set of armor that even some police could wear. It wouldn't have the capabilities of the suit she and Saphentite built, but it would protect and strengthen certain officers on dangerous situations. And while not publicly announcing it, she was planning to become a hero. Not just in the background like what her father had been doing. But one on the frontlines.
Izuku, Jotaro, and Saphentite were glad for what she had accomplished in a short time. And they had made her an offer before they left.
(Flashback)
"I'll be a hero. Like my father and like Uncle Might! It may take a while but…." Melissa said as the three quirkless heroes were getting ready to leave at the airport. Izuku was the first to come up and say how awesome it would be. "Plus you'd be a truly quirkless hero. Ah not that you can't be a hero without powers! Or that I think…." Izuku started but Melissa stopped him.
She smiled before saying, "I think I know what you mean. Everyone who is a hero now has a power of some kind. Even if you three don't have quirks, you have powers all your own. But I can show that hard work and a little ingenuity…. A hero can be made. Not just born." Jotaro nods before saying, "be better than us. It'll show everyone how capable you are. As well as how impressive the machines you make are."
"He's right. I know you and I had some basic ideas while we were building that first suit. But I know you can take what we made beyond the capabilities we put into the original." Saphentite says before giving the girl a hug. Izuku's eyes widen a bit, and he pulls something out of his luggage. "Here Melissa. These might help with making a few more ideas for your armors," the green haired hero says. What he hands her are a few of the hero notebooks he's made over the years. Including what he's learned from Jotaro and Saphentite.
Melissa's eyes widen at what Izuku had written in the notebooks. And just as she reads them, the wheels start turning in her head. Her smile keeps growing and all of the sudden she glomps Izuku. Before kissing him on the lips. Izuku practically passes out at this, while Jotaro and Saphentite's eyebrows raise. "Oh this will be prime teasing material when we get back." Jotaro says with a shit eating grin on his face.
After Melissa steps back she thinks a bit more about what she did and apologizes. Izuku shakes the shock off and tells her it was no problem. While both have nuclear blushes on their faces. "But really. Thank you Kibou. With some of these ideas I can create so many different devices and counter devices. I'll be ready for a fight with a villain, the next time you see or hear about me." Melissa says before getting ready to leave. Izuku nods before saying that he'll be a hero that can make everyone smile. The two off to the side of this little exchange pull both into a group hug. With Jotaro grabbing the two first and Saphentite stretching her arms around for a bigger hug. And with that the UA heroes left I Island.
(Flashback end)
Jotaro still has a bit of a shit eating grin when they had all met up back at school and tells Izuku, "you know I'm totally gonna use what happened when we left I Island against you right?" "C'mon really? Please don't." Izuku says exasperatedly while heading to his seat. When Mineta asks what they were talking about, Jotaro is tempted to say it outright. But he doesn't and just talks about how they have the training camp coming up. This makes a few feel down. Given that Kaminari and Mina had both failed their finals and couldn't go to the camp.
Others were just concerned about whether they would have enough for going to the camp and what the training could be like. Izuku though noted that Jotaro seemed to be listening for something and then he sat down. "Aizawa-sensei is coming guys. We can talk and catch up later." "You heard the class president everyone! Let's sit down and get ready for class. But how did you know Aizawa-sensei was on the way Midoriya?" Ida first ordered and then asked.
Izuku just pointed to Jotaro before saying, "he's got super senses. So when he decided to sit down, I figured that meant Aizawa was on his way." Jotaro shot Izuku a look that was somewhere between annoyed and impressed, before turning back to the front of the class. As Aizawa entered he looked around and was impressed. "You were ready for when I would eventually arrive. Well done. Now then, today we'll be discussing the upcoming training camp. As most of you know, those who failed the practical exam for finals will not be going to the training camp." As Aizawa was saying this, Kaminari and Mina look down in disappointment. While the rest of the class gives them looks of pity.
"That was a lie. It was a logical ruse to bring out your full potential." Aizawa says with a smirk on his face. This makes a few of the students fall over while screaming in their heads, 'he did that again!' Jotaro was chuckling a bit but even he was surprised by what Aizawa had said. "Since no one failed the written test, the teachers figured that we just needed to boost up your practical skills. So you all will be attending the training camp. However, Ashido. Kaminari. You both failed the practical so you will be in special lessons with me and Class 1-B's teacher Vlad King after training."
The two dunces of 1-A wail at the fact they have extra training, but they are both still happy that they can go to the training camp. Once the classes were done for the day, the students go over the guides that Aizawa had handed out for the students. "There's a lot of things on this list that I know I don't have. Let's go shopping after school!" Toru says with a little jump up. The rest of the class agrees, with the exception of Shoto. "I'm going to visit my mom this afternoon. So I'll see you later."
"Hey Shoto hold up a second." Jotaro says before pulling something out of his pack. He showed what was inside and handed it to Shoto. With a relaxed smile Jotaro said he could share them with his mom. Shoto's eyes widened but then he smiled before thanking his friend.
Once everyone had gone home and changed, they headed for Kiyashi ward shopping mall. While Jotaro and Saphentite weren't too worried about what was listed, they still wanted to come along to hang out with everyone. "When was the last time we did something like this?" Saphentite asks with a graphic tee on, a Burkhini around her neck and jeans that seemed to accentuate her legs. Jotaro just smiles with his black jeans and boots on, a red and white tee shirt, and a brown leather jacket on before saying, "far too long. We should try to do this more often." The rest of the class call out to the two of them and they link up to explore the mall.
During the walk around Jotaro was at ease with listening to the general sounds of the place. While it was still noise, it was also the noise of life. Not the screams of danger and battle. Or the cries of pain and similar. But just the pleasant sound of people enjoying their daily lives. "What's up?" Momo asked while Jotaro was helping with a few bags. The brickhouse of 1-A shook his head and said, "Nothing. Just….. its nice and peaceful here."
When they head for the next shop though, they tell Jotaro he can wait outside. "Okay first of all, I know you're getting underwear. I could tell that just from my radar sense. Second, you don't have to worry the same way with the other guys. I can't see. Remember. Besides I already have an idea of what you girls look like without anything after what we've all been through." Jotaro says with a completely straight face. This makes Kyoka and Momo blush brightly while Saphentite is just laughing off to the side.
Across the building, Ochaco and Izuku are going through a few things to prepare for the training camp. Izuku had gotten some new wrist weights but was also picking up some new shirts. "A lot of my old ones don't fit quite right anymore." Izuku says while heading to a shop that sells his favorite shirts. Ochaco though notes she needs bug repellent. "And I honestly could use a new swimsuit. I don't know if we'll have time for swimming, but it would be nice to have…."
Izuku blushes before saying he'll go elsewhere. But Ochaco stops him and asks if he could give his opinion of some of the swimsuits. After a half hour of blushing from both students, Ochaco picks out a new pink and white two piece. Izuku got pulled into trying some on as well and got a new pair of black, green, and red trunks. With Ochaco eyeing up the muscles Izuku hid under his uniform. And with that and all of the other provisions gathered the students of class 1-A are ready for the training camp.
While this is happening though, in the bar across town Tomura is meeting up with a few villains that the black-market dealer Giran and Kurogiri had managed to recruit. First was a young man calling himself Dabi. Who appeared to have his skin stitched back together roughly. Second was a woman in a man's body named Magne who had a giant magnet strapped across her back. Third was the masked duplicating villain Twice. And fourth was the mad teen slasher Toga Himiko.
"So these are some the new people for our guild eh?" Tomura asked while stretching his new limb. Giran nodded before asking how the prosthetic felt. "I heard that the raid on UA had been a failure and that the leader had been injured. Guess that was true." Dabi said with some contempt in his voice. While Tomura would normally want to lash out, he instead nodded before saying, "I underestimated the one that fought alongside All Might. It was the same guy who won the whole Sports Festival. I paid that price and now we need to hit them again. And this time we'll have some extra help."
When Magne asks what he means, Tomura pulls out his burn phone and calls the number on it. When Sosaku answers he fills her in on the details. "So what do you say? You up for joining our guild or would you rather an alliance?" "Hmmm… I'd say, hold on (shot fired and an explosion is heard)…. I'd say I'm interested. But….. I have to wonder what could be in it for us? If they think this is just an attack by your league then they'll think its all about quirked villains. We want to make our own statement. And we have a new girl who can make it clear." Sosaku says.
As they were all listening to the call, they could hear more shots and explosions going off. As well as the screams of various people. A few in attendance gulped and were questioning what devils Tomura was making a deal with. "That works just fine for me. And I don't think the rest of my new members will complain about some serious true meta firepower." At hearing that all of the other villains were shocked. They had assumed most true metas would be on the heroes' side. But now they have true meta allies.
"Well now. This little sister seems interesting. While I know I want to the freedom to be who I am, it seems like she wants the same. As well as some payback against those like us who may have put her down." Magne says with her hand cradling her cheek. Sosaku laughs before agreeing with the woman. She then asks Tomura for another meet up to discuss the details. The blue haired villain agrees before noting that they can bring her to the bar if they tell her where she is at.
"No need. I know where you are all meeting up. I know you teleport most in to keep the location a secret but I still noticed some details. As did the others. We know right where you are based," the probability manipulator says with a teasing lilt. AFO speaks up next from the video screen with a laugh of his own. "It seems we really can't underestimate true metas. But I will thank you young lady if you are willing to aid us."
With that set the plans and a few more villains recruited the League of Villains and the now named (after a suggestion by Dabi) Forgotten have a plan to strike at the heart of hero society. A plan to attack UA and its students when they least expect it.
Yeah so that first third or so was meant to…. I guess you could say to get those who are following this story to read my movie tie in story. It's already completed and its short. But I think plenty could find it a good read. Please review.
