Chapter 25

Decisions

U.A.

In the prestigious hero school U.A. A meeting was happening as all the teachers gathered in a room discussing a certain greenette's and a little girl's disappearance. In front of them all is the principal of U.A. Principal Nezu, sitting on the right of him was Shota Aizawa and on the left is Class 1B's homeroom teacher, Kan Sekijiro also known as Vlad King.

Every teacher was present in the room including the former number one hero, All Might. The room was filled with tension and anxiousness.

"Principal Nezu, this is a problem we have contacted the police for evidence on the whereabouts of Izuku Midoriya or Eri but no sign of him anywhere," Midnight addressed.

"I am well aware of that," he responded.

"Where do you think they took them exactly," Present Mic asked.

"I would like to know as well, for all we know they could've been transported to another continent," Bloodhound answered.

"I can't track their scent anywhere in the nearby areas, so it's safe to say they're not anywhere here," he continued.

"Grrgh damn it! These students already had enough to deal with and now they have to deal with a missing student and a U.A resident! For Christ sake we just got finished with the cultural festival," Vlad grunted.

"It is certainly concerning, for all we know we have no idea why the villain took him and her specifically," Nezu deduced.

"You think they want information out of him? And for her maybe it's one of Overhaul's members," Midnight wondered.

"Couldn't be during the raid we captured all of his goons there's no way there could be more," Aizawa stated.

"It's a possibility, as for Midoriya, their reason for kidnapping him is unclear," Snipe stated.

"You said information Midnight? What information would he have? It's not like he knows anything important that should be kept a secret right?" Present Mic denied.

Nezu looked at All Might as the skinny blonde man looked at the table.

'If they were looking for information, does that mean they know about his quirk?' All Might thought.

"Well whatever the reason is we need to find them asap, who knows what they could be doing to them right now," Aizawa stated.

"He's right, now is not the time to question their motives, for now finding Midoriya and Eri is our top priority," Nezu ordered.

"I want the police force to help with the investigation, make sure no one knows about this, we can't have the public panic," Nezu continued.

"They've been missing for three weeks now, you think we'll find him?" Snipe asked.

"It doesn't matter, we have to find him, he is a student of this institution, he is our responsibility just like all the other students, as well as young Eri" All Might stated.

Nezu nodded, "This meeting is over, you know what to do,"

They all nodded.

"May I ask something Principal," Present Mic blurted.

"What is it?"

"What do we do with Class 1A, I'm sure they would want to join in the search," he asked.

"I cannot risk another student to end up being abducted again," Nezu answered.

Class 1A Dorm

"WHAT!"

Class 1A shouted as they looked at their homeroom teacher.

"You heard me, we can't let you help with the search," Aizawa stated.

"With all do respect Mr. Aizawa but we all want to find him as much as you do," Iida informed.

"And Eri Chan as well she just got here ~ribbit," Tsuyu stated.

"Yeah! We can't just let them slide for this one!" Kirishima exclaimed.

"At least let us help with the search," Shoto demanded

"It's for your own good, if you disobey you'll be expelled from this school," Aizawa glared at all of them.

They all fell silent but they didn't budge as they were so eager to find their classmate.

Aizawa sighed, "I know you want find them but leave this to the pros, we'll take it from here,"

Bakugo clicked his tongue as he was annoyed. He clenched his fists in frustration as he remembered that day clearly.

All of Class 1A slumped their shoulders as they felt frustrated again like the time in the Training Camp.

"All of you relax for a bit, there is no class today, take this time to recuperate," with that Aizawa left the Dorms.

Class 1A all sat down on the couches as they all had a lot on their mind.

"Grrrragh! What hell, we all were there and yet we just let that happen," Kirishima cried in frustration.

"Calm down bro I'm sure the pros got this, they'll find Eri and Midoriya in no time," Sero tried to reassure him.

"Yeah but still it doesn't change the fact that we just let that happen," Kaminari stated.

They all fell silent again as they sat there.

"I wonder if he's already dead, and using Eri for some kind of drug" Mineta blurted out.

"Mineta!" All of them shouted.

"What I'm sorry but it's a possibility, you never know what Villains can do these days," Mineta explained.

"As much as I would like to disagree but it's a possibility," Shoji chimed in.

"Both of you shut the fuck up," Bakugou glared at them.

They all looked at Bakugou as he sat there, "Even if they did try to kill Deku, there is no way that damn nerd is letting them,"

"You're pretty sure of yourself," Shoto stated.

"Shut up Half n Half! You don't disagree with me either do you," he shouted.

Shoto nodded, "This is Midoriya we're talking about, he'll be fine,"

"If you say so," Jirou hesitantly chimed.

Uraraka sat there as she clasped her hand together as she prayed.

"Please be alright Deku, Eri"

With Izuku

Izuku sat with Lubbock as he stitched all of the rips on his hero suit.

"All right! Done," Lubbock exclaimed.

"Thanks again Lubba," Izuku thanked.

"Hey no problem, it's what I do best," Lubbock smiled as he handed Izuku his suit back.

"Anything else that you need," Lubbock asked.

Izuku shook his head as he stood up, "No that's all, thanks again,"

Izuku walked out of his workshop as he headed back to his room to stow away his suit. Upon reaching his room he noticed Tatsumi and Mein walking together as he then looked at them with curiosity as he approached them.

"Oh hey Izuku what's up," Tatsumi greeted

"Heyo, alien," Mein greeted.

Izuku sweatdropped at the nickname as he just shrugged it off.

"Just putting my suit in my room, what are you two doing together?" Izuku asked.

The both of them flushed as they thought of an excuse when really Tatsumi asked for tips on long range attacks that he could avoid but as they trained it turned out to be more than that as they just started talking instead of training.

"Gah! Mein was helping me train on how to avoid long range attacks from afar right Mein?" He lied

"R-Right just training that's all," Mein followed through.

"Oh that could be useful someday. I should think about that," Izuku said obliviously.

Tatsumi and Mein sighed as they relaxed a bit.

Izuku then saw Akame behind them as she walked the other direction with Leone. Izuku tried to wave hello to her but he suddenly stopped. He didn't know why he stopped, he just did, he felt something odd.

"Hey Izuku you alright," Tatsumi asked.

Izuku looked at Tatsumi, "Um yeah, I think,"

Mein looked towards Akame then Izuku as she sighed, "Jesus why are you prolonging this,"

"Huh what do you mean?" Izuku asked.

"You idiot… you like Akame don't you?" Mein blurted out.

Izuku froze as his whole face went red, "H-Huh?!"

Tatsumi smacked his forehead at Meins bluntness, "Dammit Mein," he muttered.

"Just ask her out already, we know you like her. What's the reason for stalling," Mein asked.

Izuku snapped out of it as he thought about it.

…

…

…

There were a lot of reasons why he didn't want to. There were so many reasons that he couldn't day out loud. All the thoughts inside his head started to play out loud inside his head. The words that gravely marked his heart.

"I…" Izuku couldn't say anything, he really couldn't.

Mein sighed as she walked past him, "Well whatever is going on inside your head, figure it out, because you may never know, you may never see her again," she stated.

Izuku widened his eyes as he heard those words. Tatsumi was flabbergasted at what Mein said.

"Come on Tatsumi let's go, you promised to make me food!" Mein shouted.

"Uh yeah on my way," Tatsumi replied.

He looked at Izuku, "Hey, don't overthink it too much, okay? You don't have to if you don't want to," Tatsumi comforted Izuku.

He placed his hand on his shoulder, "Just take some time to think about it though okay,"

Izuku nodded as Tatsumi followed after Mein.

Izuku stood in the hallway as he thought about his Junior high school life. The amount of shit he got just for being quirkless.

Izuku walked as he headed towards the outside where he could get some fresh air.

With Akame and Leone

Meanwhile with Akame and Leone, they were talking about what to catch for lunch as they headed into the forest. Until Leone brought up a question.

"Hey Akame, So you like Greenie right?"

Akame stopped in her tracks as she turned towards the lioness.

"I mean it's quite obvious tha-"

"It's more than that," Akame responded.

Leone was surprised by her answer as she looked at her. Akame placed her hand on her chest as she felt her heartbeat.

"Everytime when I'm near him, it's like the world is slowing down and I'm at peace, he makes me believe that there is still hope in this world," Akame stated.

Akame turned towards Leone as she looks at her hand, "It's more than just liking Leone,"

Akame then makes eye contact with Leone, "I have fallen in love for the very first time,"

Leone was genuinely surprised by her answer, she never expected Akame to open up like this.

'Looks like Izuku truly changed her and for the better,' Leone thought.

"If that's what you truly feel, then why not tell him?" Leone asked.

Akame shook her head, "Not now, not when we have that operation in two days,"

Leone frowned as she looked at her best friend, "Akame, one day those feelings that you keep inside will eventually explode if you don't let them out, I know your conflicted on killing your sister,"

Akame flinched, "It doesn't matter, I have to. I wish it were different but right now I have to focus if I don't, I die and I won't get the chance to tell him how I really feel,"

Leone sighed as she walked up to her and embraced her tight.

"Leone, what are you doing?" Akame asked.

"Just let me do this, you look like you need it," Leone replied.

Akame didn't try to pry out; she just stood there as she wrapped her arms around Leone, returning the embrace.

"Once this operation is over, will you tell him?" Leone asked.

Akame thought about it as she then nodded.

Leone smiled as she placed her hand on Akame's shoulder, "Great! And that means you'll experience all sorts of things with Izuku,"

Akame smiled as she giggled a bit at her statement.

"I meant it, Akame, I am really happy that you found someone who is willing to risk his life for you," Leone smiled.

With Izuku

Izuku was in a clearing not too far from the base as he practiced his kicks and punches. He repeated the same movement as each hit got faster and faster as he unconsciously was using Full Cowling.

Each movement caused the wind to blow as he threw a punch or swung a kick. Full Cowling gradually grew in percentage as the wind started to pick up.

While he was going through the motions he had the statement that Mein stated to him. When was he going to do it, he felt this wasn't the right time. He didn't even know how to ask her. He never really asked anyone out. But he also started to think negatively about the situation.

What if she doesn't feel the same way

Why would she even like you anyway

Your life had no meaning without One for All

You chased a hopeless dream

Just because you have a quirk doesn't change who you are

Useless

Worthless

Unworthy

Meaningless

Izuku threw one last punch that was charged up to 45% as the wind pressure was crazy at this point. Izuku was breathing heavily, he felt so conflicted.

'Why would she want me anyways, all your doing is help them then you're on your way home,'

Izuku sat down as he looked up to the sky as the past still haunted him.

The word Deku may have a different meaning now but that doesn't mean the other meaning disappeared.

Izuku still thought he was that same Deku from before, the one that couldn't do a damn thing, the one that was powerless to even make his dream into a reality.

'So give me one good reason why she would choose me when I haven't changed,'

"Deku-san?"

Izuku turned towards the voice as he saw Eri standing next to him as she handed him a water bottle.

"You seem tired," she assumed.

Izuku grabbed the bottle as he smiled at her, "Thanks Eri,"

He opened the bottle as he drank the water, refreshing himself as he drank it.

"Is something the matter, Deku-san," Eri asked.

Izuku shook his head, "Nothing at all Eri, I'm fine,"

"You say that but you look sad, Deku-san…"

Izuku frowned as he looked down, he berated himself for worrying Eri.

"I guess you could say I'm just conflicted is all,"

Eri looked at her savior, the one who said that he'll never let go.

Eri went up to hug Izuku as he widened his eyes.

"Eri?"

"Deku-san, I don't know why you are sad but I love you, and so does everyone, if you weren't there when you held on to me I would not have been saved," Eri stated.

"So Deku-san, remember that you'll always be important to us all,"

Izuku widened his eyes as tears started to form, he held it back as he smiled at Eri.

He then stood up as he stretched a bit and looked at Eri, "Thank you Eri,"

Eri smiled brightly at him, "Mm!" She hummed.

A Few Hours Later

Izuku stood in front of Najenda as she sat at her desk.

"I have a mission for you, there is a village on the Eastside of the capital, next to the village is a imperial camp holding many of our own hostage, you'll have two recon scouts assisting you in this mission," Najenda informed.

Izuku looked at the map as he scanned the areas.

"You'll be leaving tomorrow afternoon, so get your things ready," Najenda ordered.

"Right!" Izuku responded.

Izuku grabbed the information off the desk as he walked out of the room. He took a right as he headed towards his room but he then saw Akame walking towards him. She looked up as she noticed him.

Izuku waved at her as Akame returned the favor.

"So what did the boss tell you," Akame asked.

"Oh um I have a mission and I leave tomorrow afternoon," Izuku answered.

Akame nodded as she smiled at him, "Okay then good luck and survive,"

Izuku nodded as Akame was about to walk past him. Izuku grabbed her arm as it caught Akame by surprise.

Izuku turned around as he looked her dead in the eye.

"When my mission is over… there is something I really want to tell you!" he exclaimed.

Akame widened her eyes, "I can't really tell you now but please wait for me,"

Akame was surprised at the sudden request but she smiled at him.

"Then you better survive your mission, until then I'll be waiting okay?" Akame replied.

Izuku smiled as he then nodded, "Yeah, I will. I'll make sure of it,"

Izuku and Akame stared at each other for a while as they went their separate ways.

The Next Day

Izuku got his things set up as he carried a backpack and he wore his hero suit as he prepared to set off on his mission. The rest of Night Raid waved bye to him as he did as well. Akame looked at him as he headed into the forest.

Wait for me

Najenda placed a hand on Akame's shoulder as Akame turned and looked at her.

"Let's go, we got a lot to prepare," Najenda stated.

Akame nodded as she looked back at where Izuku left as he was nowhere to be found. Akame then walled back towards the base as she felt something in her heart.

"Wait for me"

'I'll wait for you as long as I can, whatever it takes,' Akame thought.

Izuku stopped walking as he turned around as he stared back at the direction of the base.

"I'll finish this quickly,"

Izuku activated 30% One for All and dashed towards the direction where he was going.

As Izuku was dashing through the trees all he had in his mind was one thing.

"I'll finish this mission, then I'll say what I've been keeping inside all this time Akame,"

Akame grabbed Murasame as she unsheathed the blade, she stared at the blade that has taken many lives. She looked outside her window.

"Once this operation is over, I'll say what I truly feel about you Izuku,"

Izuku jumped up high in the air as he activated Black Whip and latched on to a tree branch.

Akame then sheathed Murasame back into the scabbard and walked out of her room as she headed outside where everyone was waiting for.

Tatsumi had Incursio's key in its sheath. He wore a white jacket and under it was the same outfit he wore.

Sheele was holding Eri in her arms as the little girl was asleep.

"You ready Akame," Leone asked.

She nodded as they all headed out.

"Alright the Operation is commencing tomorrow, we'll be setting up a nearby base near the Romari Main Road on the Eastern side of the Capital," Najenda informed.

"Roger!"

Akame looked up in the sky, so did Izuku as he landed on a tree.

"I'll finally be able to tell you…"

Izuku heard a growl as he heard a Danger Beast approach him. Izuku equipped Full Gauntlets as he then charged up 45% Full Cowling.

Izuku then vanished from his spot at blinding speed. The dangerous beast was confused as it looked around its surroundings. But it was too late as Izuku was already above him and prepared a falling axe kick as Izuku's fall accelerated.

Izuku slammed his heel on the Danger beast's head as it created a crater beneath them.

"I love you,"
