Greetings everyone how are you all doing?
I know it's been a while since I updated this story.
I've been very busy and so I had a lot of stories and chapters to get done and I got one of my stories done and 3 stories updated with new chapters.
So also I would like to thank the ones for answering my questions regarding All Might which lantern corps would be a part of.
Now I have another question but it'll be at the end of this chapter.
Now then I believe that it's time to get this chapter rolling.
So here we go.
I don't own any of this.
Chapter 13: meeting All Might's mentor part 2
Location: Hosu
All Might and Izuku were driving through the city of Hosu as they were heading to meet Gran Torino.
Izuku was excited to meet the man who trained All Might, but his predecessor was recalling some memories that made him shivered.
It was during his training that Torino made go though hell to master OFA and well he was put through a lot of training.
Izuku on the other hand is excited to meet Gran Torino for he was the one who train All Might.
All Might did let Torino know that they were coming and there's something he wants to talk with him in private.
It took them nearly 20 minutes but they soon arrived at the place.
They got out of the truck and came across a rundown apartment, Windows are broken out and pieces of the building are falling off. Above the front door, there is a sign that says "Welcome" that is falling off. The building is also surrounded by a tall fence and gates.
Izuku then had a perplexed look on his face.
"So this is where your mentor lives?" he asked.
All Might looked at his successor and nodded.
"But young Midoriya I will warn you that Gran Torino is not to be taken lightly he may be old, but he can still pack a punch and kick and also he's very crafty." Said All Might.
"Ok All Might." Said Izuku.
"Oh one more thing!" All Might said as he went back to the truck to get something out and then walked back to Izuku.
"What's that?" he asked.
"Something he likes and it's one of his weaknesses." All Might said with a grin.
Izuku wonder what he meant by that and he had to put that on hold when he saw the bag in All Might's hand.
Soon Izuku opened the door and went in and saw a small old man in a consists of a full-body monochrome suit along with a yellow cape, a belt with the letter "G" on it, very thick yellow gloves and boots, and a dark domino mask which resembles two diamonds was laying face down in a puddle of red liquid with some meat under neath him and a broken plate next to him with a fork.
"HOLY CRAP HE'S DEAD!" Izuku shouted freaking out.
The old man then raised his head up and said "I'm alive."
"AHHHHHHHH! HE'S ALIVE!" shouted Izuku again.
The old man got up and stood on his feet.
"Whoopsie I was carrying a nice big plate of sausages covered in ketchup when I accidently trip and fell down clumsy me." He said laughing as he brushed the ketchup off of him.
"Ok that's a bit weird." Said Izuku in his mind.
"Seriously sir? I told you to watch your step when carrying big plates of food." All Might sighed.
"Who are you?" the old man asked.
"I'm Izuku Midoriya." He introduced.
"Who are you?" the old man asked again.
Izuku introduced himself again and Gran Torino kept his senile routine up a bit and Izuku was getting a bit annoyed.
'This old man is the one that trained All Might? I think I've been misled.' Izuku thought.
Outside All Might was listening to everything and even though he is scared because of the memories of the harsh training he got, even he can get annoyed sometimes with his mentor's antics and he needs to put the frozen taiyaki in the freezer soon or they will melt.
Gran Torino kept up his act until Izuku decided to leave and that's when Gran Torino moved fast and got on top of the wall above the door.
Izuku looked up and saw Gran Torino had a serious look on his face.
"Come on kid let's go!" he said with a serious grin on his face.
Izuku sensed the old man's change and realized he was going to fight, he reached down for the watch on instinct and was about to transform and then use OFA when the doors flew right open.
"Oh come on sir, are you going to keep the act up or should I let your favorite treat melt in the sun?" said one annoyed All Might.
That made Gran Torino did a anime fall and fell to the floor and Izuku had a sweat drop behind his head.
All Might walked inside and Izuku managed to close the doors as Gran Torino got up and gave his former student an annoyed glare.
"Really Toshinori? You had to tell the runt my usual moves." He complained.
"Well I couldn't stay outside for too long and besides before you put young Midoriya through hell I need to have a word with you."
Torino sighed and he knew when All Might wants to have a talk, he was serious.
"Young Midoriya why not go sit on the couch while I chat with Gran Torino upstairs." Said All Might.
Izuku nodded and sat down on the couch as All Might went to the freezer part of the fridge and put the teriyaki up and then went upstairs to talk with Gran Torino.
Izuku only sighed as he was left alone for a bit.
(Upstairs in Gran Torino's room)
"So." Gran Torino said as he sat down. "He's the new wielder of OFA and you say he has a watch on him that allows him to turn into different forms?"
"Yes and believe me he's strong, he even manage to withstand my California, Oklahoma and Texas smashes and even managed to beat me in a spar." All might explained.
Gran Torino was surprised by this info.
"Really that brat must use OFA to beat you." He said.
"Actually he didn't, he made use of the powers of his transformations and not use OFA in our spar ever since he got it." All Might explained.
That made Gran Torino do a double take as he looked at All Might in surprise and shock.
"Are you serious Toshinori?" he asked calling All Might by his real name.
"I am sir." He replied. "He told me the reasons why he didn't use it, he told me that he thought about using it but without training there would be disastrous consequences and he didn't even want to try it with his transformations."
This left Gran Torino speechless.
"So this punk used his head and not try to break his bones with the first go and the fact you brought him here, shows you do have a brain in that skull of yours." Gran Torino said with a jab at his former student.
That made Toshinori deflated from the jab from his teacher.
"But you told me he didn't use the quirk because he didn't know what would happen if he did and all of those rescues he been doing for the last few days proves it." Said Gran Torino.
"How did you know?" asked Toshinori.
"I do have some old friends with the police." Gran Torino said.
That made Toshinori flabbergasted.
"So let me ask you this question, is the kid Inko's son?" Gran Torino asked and Toshinori nodded.
'I thought so the kid reminds me of Hiashi.' Torino thought.
"So what are you going to do sir?" asked All Might.
"Well since he's has one week to learn to tap into OFA along with the watch, I'll train his ass to the best I can but after about a few weeks he comes back and we'll train some more so he can handle a bit more of OFA and not try to break a lot of his bones in the process." Torino said.
"Ok I'll see what I can do but getting passed by Aizawa won't be easy." Said Toshinori.
"Ok then but only let Nezu know what's happening." Torino said.
Toshinori nodded.
"Now then let's get back down stairs." Advised Gran Torino.
(Back down stairs)
Izuku sat down and waited for All Might and Gran Torino to come back down, but he couldn't just sit around, he decided to explore the room a bit, he looked around the place and then came across a frame that was face down.
He was about to lift it to see the photo when he heard some foot steps coming from the stairs, so he ran back to the couch just as the 2 heroes came down.
"Well sir it seems that young Midoriya here sat put." Said Toshinori.
"Hmm. He did." Pondered Gran Torino.
The 2 walked up to Izuku.
"Ok kid listen up." The old hero started off. "I'll help you train to get a bit of control over OFA and maybe help you use that power with your transformations and maybe a bit more but since we got one week until the exams I won't go easy on you." Said Gran Torino.
Izuku nodded.
"Good now then, Toshinori will tell Nezu that you will have an excuse for being a little late on the day of the exam and maybe I come there to teach the newbies." He said with a smirk.
That made Toshinori shiver in fear and begged his mentor not to do that.
'now I see why All Might is afraid of him.' Izuku thought.
"I'm kidding but it would be nice to visit though. Now Toshinori if the kid gets in, I want to have a chat with Nezu." Gran Torino said.
"Yes sir!" said Toshinori quickly while sweating bullets.
"It's still good I can keep in you in line." Torino laughed.
"Ok Midoriya now then train hard under Gran Torino and I'll come get you when it's time for the exams." Said Toshinori.
"Ok All Might." Said Izuku.
"Now then I must be off to speak with principal Nezu, but I will let you know what is happening later on tonight, good luck." Said Toshinori.
"Take care." Replied Izuku.
Toshinori then waved goodbye to Izuku and his mentor and opened and closed the door and got in his truck and drove away.
Now Gran Torino got his serious face and started jumping around the place and Izuku was trying to figure out how to land a hit on him but as he was mumbling of how to counter he got hit in the back by Gran Torino who jetted away.
"Hey kid if you have the time to mutter then you have time to move so hurry up!" he shouted.
That snapped Izuku out of his thoughts and decided to stop him, he decided to try use OFA with one of his forms and hopes that nothing will go wrong.
He needed one to help keep up with Gran Torino hopping around and thought of just one for the job.
"Going hero!" Izuku shouted as he hit the dial on the selected alien and a green flash appeared.
Gran Torino stopped his hopping to shield his eyes from the green flash, when it faded, he can see that in Izuku's place was Xlr8.
'Ok now to try to use OFA while in alien form.' He thought.
He activated the quirk as green electricity sparked all around him.
"So this is one of your transformations kid." Said Gran Torino looking at Xlr8 and analyzing him. "so this one is based on speed then, that may be useful but it won't be enough to stop me." He said with a smirk.
"Ready to go kid?" he said with a determined smirk.
"Bring it!" said Xlr8 as his visor came down.
The 2 charged towards each other and the building started jumping and moving around like in the old cartoons as the two fought.
(20 minutes of fighting later…)
'Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Bwooo'
A red flash appeared and in Xlr8's place was Izuku who looked like he was put through hell.
The room of Gran Torino's was covered in cracks and had claws marks all over the place and the microwave was destroyed and Izuku on the ground with Gran Torino on top with his hand on his face.
"You're strong kid but there's discord within your mind. That's why I bested you." The old hero said.
"Crap I thought I was going to land that hit." Izuku grunted.
"Listen to me kid, the way you used your transformations it shows that your adapting to it along with One for all it shows that you are adjusting to the quirk, you understand its fundamentals.
But your admiration to All Might and sense of loyalty to him are shackles to you." Gran Torino told Izuku.
"Shackles but how?" Izuku said with a questioned look on his face.
"it's true that you need to get stronger and quickly. Time waits for no man, real villains don't if you haven't reach your full potential yet. And you think one for all is more special than it really is." He continued as he turned to walk away.
"Then what should I do?" Izuku asked.
"Think about that on your time." Gran Torino said. "Meanwhile I'll go buy us some grub, clean this place up while I'm gone." And then left Izuku alone.
'My admiration to All Might is a shackle?' Izuku thought.
(Later…)
Izuku stood at the broken microwave and pondered what Gran Torino told him.
He thought about the watch and One for all and how he understood the fundamentals of them but his admiration to All Might was a shackle to him? And there was discord in his mind.
" I believe One For All is more special than it realizes along with the watch, is that what makes my movements stiff?" he said to himself.
"Ok let's look at this in a different way, what makes a movement a bit more flexible." He continued.
Then it struck him by lightning.
He got out his hero note books and begin writing down notes of quirks and moves.
He wrote that quirks are like extensions of one self and the smash attacks are like special moves and he needed to start thinking that OFA and the watch are like extensions of him.
Outside at the door, Gran Torino was there with a bag of food in his hand and listened in on Izuku talking and taking down notes and he had a smirk on his face.
"Well at least he's mentally adapted in forward thinking for a kid, but I already knew that from what you told me. You found a good one huh Toshinori or should I say All Might?" he said in his mind.
(To be continued)
'Well Izuku has met Gran Torino the man who taught All Might and while he may be old, he still know how to hit hard when he has to. So while Izuku is being trained by him, All Might will be off doing his usual thing, but what happens when All Might has a bit of an adventure of his own? Find out next time in " an adventure for All Might."
Ok that ends this long ass overdue chapter.
I'm sorry for taking so long but I had a lot of stressful crap hitting the fan and well it took me a long time.
First off my mom had surgery on her knee and well I've been taking care of her as she heals so that's why this chapter took so long to get done. Now then I will say that I will be on a bit of hiatus until my mom is back at full strength and she is cleared to go back to work.
Second is that writer's block and other stories I got have been taxing on me a lot so I had to do a bit of cutting some corners and that's why Izuku and Gran Torino's first spar was kind of skipped a bit and I want you to think of Izuku as Xlr8 with OFA coursing through his body going fast and trying to land a hit on Gran Torino but he keeps hitting the wall and such But Gran Torino still bested him.
The kid has a long way to go.
Now then ch14 will be focused on All Might won't be out until June.
Now then the next 2 chapters that are coming out next are a different path to take ch27 and my marvel academia ch4.
After that I will be going on hiatus for one whole week to rest and recharge.
Another thing in ch15 there will be a bit of Inko and Terra bonding and even hanging out with Mitsuki, Bakugou's mom and between you and me he really inherited her temper.
If he was a dog a Pomeranian would suit him well.
Now then I will say that after my break I will work on MHA watches Death Battle chapter next and then 2 chapters of my Total drama story.
Now then I have a question for you guys.
I am planning to do a MHA/Transformers crossover story in the future but I do have a question for you.
If the Maximals and the Predacons came crashing down to Izuku's world and the beast wars was mixed with MHA which Maximal would be a good partner for Izuku?
Let me know in the reviews and/or PM me the answer.
Ok then I think that's it for now as I am off to get some much needed rest before working on my next chapter.
So read and review
No rude insults and no rude reviews.
Until next time either in May or June
This is wolfdrake29 heading out.
Later…
