Bearticguy7: I fucking hate Mary Sues too, I hate them so much.
jkgaming: Maybe...
Jddraign: Shaniacsunite!
dumpstertrashfire123: I was considering the Wendigo too, but it would probably just go on a massacre.
Euphoria: Not a bad idea!
Kyeo307: Thanks!
CoolK: Great idea, as usual! I can't wait to find a way to use it!
Ochako Uraraka scrubbed the last of the moth juice out of the floor, and admired her handiwork. Nothing a little elbow grease can't fix.
Now that the power was on, she could get a good look at her friend's secret hideout. It definitely had a lot of charm to it, each person involved had their own area. Ochako absentmindedly observed Kyoka's area, where a small karaoke machine sat on her desk, along with other bits of machinery and parts. Does she tinker with her own support items? I knew Kyoka was smart, but she also creates her own tools.
I'm sure she got the initial designs from Hatsume, but she's actively working on upgrading them every chance she gets...
Gyro's area was actually what she expected, a few old pizza boxes, books about the Pythagorian theorem, but also a picture, a picture that Johnny's desk also shared.
*For those of you who remember, this is the photo the Steel Ball Run gang took in Chapter 32*
"Awww!" Ochako felt her heart warm up at the sight of the group smiling and laughing. They really had fun during that race, huh?
Of course...this was before they fought Valentine.
Jotaro had approached Ochako first, surprisingly, and offered to bring her up to speed. Now, she had a clear understanding of what was actually going on, and it felt great. Truthfully, she had been suspicious for months, never truly knowing why it seemed that the world was against UA...
She had finally gotten answers, and the enemies she had been so worried about finally had a face, and a name. Her stress had been lifted, and she finally had room to breathe.
Momo's area was, of course, filled with books, and she was somewhat surprised to find a romance novel among the stack. I wonder...did she use these to study up on how to flirt with Gyro?
The table in the middle of the treehouse had a map of the entire woods, certain locations marked. Ochako giggled upon seeing a pin on a spot marked: Secret Hero Trading Card Stash.
Oh Deku, you're such a fanboy!
"Ah...Young Uraraka...can't say I expected you here."
Ochako turned to see All Might heading up the elevator. "O-oh, All Might...I..."
"It's fine! You're allowed to be here, your friends made that very clear. Jotaro mentioned that they wanted to add you to the loop, so...I'm assuming you know about One For All..." The skeletal teacher said with a kind smile.
"I do...I guess it should've been obvious Deku's quirk wasn't natural, he doesn't really talk about it besides how to improve it." Ochako looked towards Izuku's area and ran a hand along his desk. "It's like I opened a can of worms...but they were gummy worms, you know?"
"I'm...afraid I don't."
"I'm happy about it, All Might. It brings me much closer to my friends than I have ever been."
Toshinori nodded, and sat down next to her. "I never expected that Young Midoriya would have so many people supporting him, but...I guess that's what makes him a worthy successor. I...I tried to save the world on my own, and I became this figurehead of sorts, the Symbol of Peace. Ironically, that was my biggest mistake."
"Really? But everyone loves you!"
"Popularity shouldn't matter. I'm only one man, not an army. I didn't have this big group supporting me like Young Midoriya does...one man is no substitute for an army." Toshinori looked at Uraraka. "Unfortunately, being the Symbol of Peace...it made people hold me up to impossible standards...I couldn't save everyone, no matter how hard I tried."
"I see...does retirement help?"
"No...because now I feel useless. I am useless, I can't protect him like I want to." Toshinori said, looking down sadly. "That's why I'm so glad he has people like you, a home base of sorts...he's truly surpassing me."
"You aren't useless All Might."
"Sure." Toshinori said, smiling. "Thank you though, for being by his side. I just wanted to give you my approval, before you get fully involved. Welcome to the loop, Young Uraraka."
"Thank you All Might, I'll do my best!" Uraraka bowed her head, and Toshinori nodded his head as he went back to the elevator.
"Uhhh...is that a giant moth carcass?"
"Maybe? Do you...have an idea how to get rid of it?"
Toshinori kicked it, and suddenly the Mothman screeched, flying away, leaving the two heroes staring at it with their mouths open.
IT WAS ALIVE?!
Izuku examined himself in the mirror, flexing his hand to test out the new silver gauntlets that Momo had so kindly created for him.
"Do a twirl!"
"Kyoka, knock it off!" Izuku said with a smirk.
"No."
"I have to admit, the light green does fit." Gyro said, inspecting Izuku's new suit. "Nyo ho! Now you really are a broccoli!"
"Ugggh."
"I like the shoulder pads." Johnny commented. "The yellow clashes well with the light green, and I'm assuming the two stands for Mark II, right?"
"Yep!" Izuku said brightly. "So...it's a keeper?"
"Yeah...I think it really is! It's fresh, but it's still unapologetically you." Kyoka said, and pointed at Izuku's hood. "Put that on, I may have added something while YaoMomo was recovering from making all that silver."
"You added something?!" Izuku pulled his hood over his head, and fastened his mouthpiece, and he immediately took a step back as the eyes lit up. "HOLY SHIT, NIGHT VISION?!"
"Considering the bizzare situations we always find ourselves in, I figured some stealth tech might come in handy." Kyoka said, waving her hand in front of Izuku's mask. "Of course, most of my combat is stealth based, so I guess I'm a bit biased. Well?"
"I like it, this is so cool!"
"Good! I...uh...you actually kind of look a bit intimidating with the hood up, so you should probably leave it down when interacting with civilians, that way they can see your friendly baby face."
"Do I really look intimidating?" Izuku turned around to his other friends.
"A little bit, you actually look pretty badass, but it's probably not a look for a 'hero who smiles.'" Johnny said, smirking. "You look like the 'hero that breaks your kneecaps.'"
"I thought that was your thing." Izuku shot back.
"Okay, so I have a history of being a bit brutal! You can't tell me that the people I've beaten up haven't deserved it."
"Fair." Izuku took off his hood. "Thanks you guys, for helping me with this, I really love the new suit!"
"I'll be sure to let Momo know you liked it, when she wakes up." Kyoka turned her attention to their friend, who was passed out on Giorno's couch.
"She's adorable."
"She just busted her ass, making sure that we can safely use that eye to our advantage." Everyone turned to Bakugo. "She deserves more than a fucking thanks."
"I'm surprised you're acknowledging that."
"Well...she did good, didn't she?" Bakugo said.
"Kacchan...does that mean...you like the suit?" Izuku asked, his eyes hopeful.
"...don't make such a big deal over it."
"You like the suit!"
"SHUT UP DEKU!"
Johnny stared at the increasingly annoyed Bakugo with a curious expression, an expression that Kyoka noticed. She smiled to herself. He's noticed that Bakugo's trying to change, we all have. I know it's none of my business, but...I think it would be really nice if these childhood friends could come together again...
"I'm so touched..."
"STOP CRYING YOU FUCKING NERD, IT ISN'T THAT BIG OF A DEAL!"
"So...this Mothman somehow survived getting a fridge dropped on it." Todoroki said, putting soba noodles in his mouth.
"We worked so hard to squish that thing!" Kaminari protested. "How?!"
"I have no idea." Ochako said, shaking her head. "I mean, it's a supernatural thing...maybe it can't be killed?"
"So that thing that sliced up my arm is still flying around somewhere." Kaminari said, gesturing towards the bandage on said arm. "I'm never going in those woods again!"
"I wonder...why the secret treehouse? Clearly, it was constructed to defend someone from attacks, or details such as an 'electric fence', or the fact that there was a gun stashed away in there...but why would our classmates have something like that?" Todoroki asked.
"It isn't theirs, it's actually Dr. Kujo's." Ochako lied. "S-since he's JoJo's d-dad, he let's them keep their stuff in there, that's all. It's a panic room...just in case the class needs to be evacuated."
Pleasebuyitpleasebuyitpleasebuyitpleasebuyitplease...
"I suppose that makes sense...it's still a bit weird though...that it was the specific group that confronted the Necromancer..."
I trust Todoroki...but it's really not my secret to share. Ochako thought to herself. I'm sorry I have to lie like this...
"Well, that whole group is pretty tight." Kaminari responded. "Is it really a stretch to think that they would hang out together outside of fight this Necromancer guy?"
"You're probably right." Todoroki said, shrugging. "Still...I can't help but theorize..."
Ochako sighed. Todoroki is incredibly perceptive, it would be a waste to try and fool him. She'd just have to stick to her story, and if Todoroki figured it out, then she'd come clean.
Ochako's phone buzzed, and she looked down at it in confusion.
Ears: Welcome to the group chat!
Meatball: And the group, where you'll experience magic and friendship, and several, several near death experiences!
Broccoli: Gyro please don't scare her.
Horseshoe: Yeah, come on Gyro, everyone knows the magic and friendship is an overexaggeration.
Broccoli: JOJO!
Ears: No, there is magic, and there is friendship...but the magic is usually trying to kill us, hence the near death experiences.
Broccoli: Kyoka, I swear to God.
Ferret: Listen here Pink Cheeks, you better not drag us down!
Meatball: Awww! He's using words like 'us!'
Ferret: DIE IN A FUCKING FIRE!
Ochako smiled to herself. I think I'm gonna have a lot of fun with them.
"WHOA MAN, YOU'RE FREAKING ME OUT!" Kirishima yelled from the hallway, and he came sprinting in. Todoroki immediately stood up, his fire already active.
"What's wrong Kirishima?!"
"This lady just started trying to feed me cookies, and started calling me her son! At first, I thought she was just being a sweet old lady, but I think she's actually nuts! She started telling me to go steal some eye, or I'm grounded! Then she came at me with a belt!"
The other three looked at each other, and then back at Kirishima. "Sounds like an enemy...where is this lady, Kirishima?"
"Right there!"
A middle aged woman came stomping into the room, decked out in a purple sweater and a necklace that says "Best Mom" around her neck. "Come back here! Have you forgotten 'Honor your mother and father?'"
"YOU'RE NOT MY MOM!"
"Yes Mother, I remember." Everyone turned to see Todoroki with a blank look in his eyes.
"HUH?!"
The woman, Big Momma grinned. "Goooood...now, be a dear and go fetch that eye for me, okay? Then Mommy can get you a treat!"
"Of course Mother...I will." Todoroki suddenly pointed a palm at Kaminari's face.
"DUDE, WAI-"
FWOOSH!
Todoroki unleashed a blast of fire directly in Kaminari's face, seemingly engulfing him, but when the flames died down, a semi-crispy Kirishima had his friend in his arms. He had luckily moved quick enough to shield Kaminari from the attack. "TODOROKI! WHAT'S THE DEAL MAN?!"
"He's being...controlled..." Ochako said, noticing the blank look in Todoroki's eyes. "SHE'S A STAND USER!"
"He's my son now, Missy." Big Momma said, grinning.
"I'm fairly certain that he isn't."
"He is now!"
"But...he's...not, like, at all..."
"YES HE IS! You're that little squirt that Thunder McQueen tried to kill, right? Shoto dearie, torch this one instead."
"Yes Mother-"
"TODOROKI, STOP! THIS ISN'T YOU!" Kaminari yelled, and quickly moved to stun Todoroki. Todoroki snapped his head to the side, avoiding Kaminari's palm, and created an icicle from his palm, stabbing towards Kaminari's neck.
Kirishima once again intervened, and Ochako launched herself towards Todoroki in an attempt to restrain him, but she was suddenly slammed by something large, and her vision faded to black.
"Wow...so this entire city is on stilts." Kyoka said in awe, taking in the scenery of Venezia. "This is so...amazing."
"Hard to believe isn't it? This city was literally built from the ground up." Johnny replied.
Kyoka put her head in her hands, staring into Johnny's eyes. "To tell you the truth...I'm admiring more than just the scenery."
"Oh?"
"Well, I'm on a gondola with my incredibly handsome boyfriend, we have some alone time right now..."
"Well, I'm currently the one paddling said gondola."
Kyoka inched closer. "Well, you could put the paddle down for a moment or two, I mean...a young couple kissing on a gondola in Venice is pretty romantic, wouldn't you say?"
"IT'S VENEZIA!" Bakugo screamed from a distance, and the two turned to see the explosive blonde on the street, having exited a store with Diego. "GET IT RIGHT!"
"Wow, okay is it really that big of a deal?"
"VENEZIA IS THE FUCKING NAME FOR IT! WHY DOES THE REST OF THE WORLD CALL IT SOMETHING OTHER THAN WHAT IT IS?! IT'S VENEZIA! VENEZIAAAAA!"
"Let him rant, get the aggression out." Johnny said.
"He completely ruined my opportunity to flirt." Kyoka said, pouting. "I was doing so well too.."
"You were, honestly."
"Really?"
"Yeah, definitely. I was totally gonna drop the paddle and kiss you."
"I-I mean, you still could." Kyoka said, coyly, twirling an earphone jack. "If you feel as though the romantic mood wasn't ruined..."
"I don't know..." Johnny replied, leaning forwards until he was nose to nose with her. "Was it?"
Kyoka shakily smiled. "N-no...actually, I think...i-it might be a bit stronger..."
"Even now you still get flustered. This is the same girl who can shrug off a bear trap in her leg?"
"Shut up and kiss me already, dork." Kyoka said softly, and they slowly connected their lips. Bakugo, who was still stewing about the Venice/Venezia arguement, turned around to glare at them again, only to find that the two were actually getting somewhat intimate.
"He really loves her, huh?" Diego commented with a smile.
"Goopy romance ugly shit..." Bakugo muttered, scowling.
"You know Bakugo...you and I are quite similar." Diego said, catching the explosive teen's attention.
"How?"
"We both have a lot of pride...my pride led me down a dark path, you know. Unchecked pride and ambition...just like DIO." Diego muttered darkly. "Feelings that came from a feeling of insignificance, right?"
"...I don't feel insignificant."
"Well, I felt that way. I was hellbent on taking revenge on a world that I believed hated me. I felt alone, and worthless...so I was determined to be the best there is at everything I do. My mother made me promise that...before she died. But I misunderstood... I thought it meant to be the best."
"Well, shouldn't you try to be the best? Isn't victory important?"
"That's what I thought...and next thing I knew I was a villain willing to do just about anything to achieve that victory...all for my poor mother. I was lost, I had lost my way. Then..."
Diego looked over towards Johnny, who was now cuddling with Kyoka, and a big toothy smile made it's way onto his face. "Someone opened my eyes...being the best doesn't matter in the slightest...but being my best, that's what my mother always wanted for me."
Bakugo remained silent.
"Look, there's nothing wrong with ambition, it's perfectly okay to try to achieve your goals, but there is a good way to do it. Don't be the best, be your best, being the best is...a perk."
Diego and Bakugo made eye contact for a good while, and it was clear that this was an important moment for the both of them. Two people who wanted to rise above everyone else...to hide the fact that they felt small...
They really were the same, weren't they? The only difference, Diego had escaped from this mentality, Bakugo hadn't.
"I hate how I can't even deny that you're right." Bakugo muttered.
"If I could do it...you can too." Diego said simply. "But you need to make an effort. I'm no fortune teller, but I have a prediction for you: Something will happen, something that will change you forever. It's your choice, whether it's for better, or for worse."
With that, Diego walked over to Hot Pants and Twice, who were busy filling Izuku in on all of their adventures, leaving Bakugo to think.
Something will happen...
*SPLASH!*
Bakugo looked over, and saw that the paddle for the gondola had fallen into the water, and that Kyoka had accidentally gone overboard in an attempt to grab it. He watched his childhood friend reached his hand out, and a soaking wet Kyoka took it, giggling as she made her way back onto the boat, triumphantly holding the paddle in the air, earning several cheers from their friends.
Bakugo had finally realized what Izuku and Johnny had over him, the only thing that truly separated him from the people he grew up with...
They were happy. He had spent so long trying to be number one, that his life was practically devoid of everything else. It was only an empty shell...
Diego was absolutely right about him.
Ochako came to with someone shaking her.
"HEY! URARAKA! PLEASE WAKE UP!"
"Wha happen?"
"Oh thank God..." Emporio said, tears welling in his eyes. "I thought you were a goner."
"Wha happen?!"
"Todoroki has gone berserk, he's...he's trying to get me, and the others are trying to get him to calm down!" Emporio said. "I think these being controlled...but he's actually trying to kill them! I...I..."
Uraraka saw what had hit her. Todoroki had used his Heaven Piercing Ice Wall to avoid capture. Whoever that woman was, she had him under her complete control.
"Has he hurt anyone?"
"No, Weather intervened. He's using the wind to keep the flames at bay. Weather is the only person available that can hold his own against Todoroki, no one else can get in close."
"Second person..." Ochako muttered. "Where is Dr. Kujo?!'
"He won't be here for another few minutes! Jolyne already called him, but he was halfway across the city! He has to drive here!"
"Shoot...we need to find that woman, if we can stop her, we can free Todoroki from whatever this is!" Uraraka struggled to her feet, a tense pain shooting up her side as she limped foward. He really got me good...wouldn't be surprised if I had a few broken ribs...Todoroki isn't holding back at all, it was only luck that he didn't freeze me solid!
Emporio looked at her worriedly, and went to her side, placing her arm around his shoulders to help her stand.
"You don't have to do that..."
"I want to...I didn't forget what you did for me when Mothman was attacking us...you calmed me down. I owe you."
"URARAKA!" They both turned to see Kirishima sprinting towards them, and for the first time Uraraka got a good look at the destruction. They were actually on top of the ice, which was protruding from the side of the building, she was just too dazed to notice.
"Are you okay?! Todoroki's gone nuts!" Kirishima pointed towards the courtyard, where Todoroki and Weather Report were doing battle. Surrounding them was a thick layer of smoke that couldn't even be seen through.
"That lady, where did she go?!"
RATATATATATATATATATATATAT!
A volley of bullets slammed into the ice besides Emporio's head, earning a terrified shriek from the boy, and Kirishima quickly hardened his body, turning a round to find Big Momma aggressively approaching them with an assault rifle.
"WHERE DID SHE GET A GUN LIKE THAT?!"
"DIE YOU DISRESPECTFUL BRATS!" Big Momma screamed, her eyes wild as she loaded another clip. "GOOD CHILDREN DON'T DISOBEY THEIR PARENTS!"
RATATATATATATATATATATATATATATAT!
Kirishima positioned himself in front of the other two, taking the bullets like a champ. His hardened skin was cracked and bleeding, but he was still very much in the fight. "Alright, that's it! I don't know what this eye is, but you DO NOT SHOOT AT MY FRIENDS!"
Kirishima rushed forward, when the smoke blanketing the courtyard suddenly formed into the shape of a fist, and punched him to the side, giving Big Momma a clear shot...
Ochako was already on her though, having rushed forward as the smoke turned to her and tried to bat her away too.
Unfortunately for the smoke, Weather had noticed the altercation happening above, and had redirected Todoroki's flames to blast the fist away, and Ochako managed to get ahold of Big Momma, the the two began grappling in zero gravity, desperately trying to get the upper hand on the other.
"HEY, EMPORIO!"
Emporio, who was watching the fight with a look of utter desperation, looked down to see Ermes with her arms outstrached. "JUMP!"
Emprorio did so after some hesitation, and he landed in Ermes arms.
"Are you okay?!"
"Y-yeah, I think so..."
"I can't believe some uptight Christian mom stereotype could cause so much damage..." Ermes said, glancing around. "Apparently she lost her kids or something..."
"So she's a complete nutcase?"
"Yeah, and the guy over there with the yellow teeth? He's got a quirk that they call Chainsmoke. He can manipulate anything with tobacco in it...including cigarette smoke. Instead of just settling for a normal life, the guy decided to literally destroy his lungs in order to become a hero..."
"Oh...why is he with the villains then?"
"He's...dying...he doesn't have anything to lose."
"I see...perhaps there is that can reason with him?"
"Maybe..." Ermes looked around. "Jolyne would be able to...but she's disappeared for some strange reason."
"That's because I gave her the eye." Emporio explained. "Todoroki was sent after me...so I decided to be a decoy."
"Emporio...why would Jolyne approve of something like that? You know how much she cares about you..." Ermes said. "She would've stuck by your side, that's the Jolyne I know..."
"Well...yeah, now that I think about it...Jolyne...left me alone! That isn't like her at all!"
Ermes blinked, and then she gasped. "This lady is controlling Todoroki...Emporio...JOLYNE IS BRAINWASHED TOO!"
"She has the...NO!" Emporio broke down into tears. "I...I TRUSTED JOLYNE, I DIDNT THINK SHE MIGHT'VE... NOOO!"
"It's not your fault, stop it. You trust Jolyne more than anyone, and it was a stressful situation. We still have a chance if we catch up with her!"
"I...I don't know where she..."
"It doesn't matter! We'll find her, we have to..."
Kirishima, who overheard the whole thing, was looking at the smoke guy with an unreadable expression, and he looked back towards Ochako, who had managed to disarm Big Momma of her assault rifle, and was now engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
He then made eye contact with Kaminari, who nodded. Kaminari ran off to confront the smoke guy...
And Kirishima to help the injured Ochako.
"Look man, I know why you're doing this."
Ted turned to see Kaminari walking up to him, and summoned smoke to form a fist. "Don't come any closer!"
"My quirk puts me at a disadvantage too. When I use it too much, I fry my brain."
"YOU AREN'T DYING!" Ted snapped. "DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE YOU KNOW ME!"
Kaminari pressed his lips together, determined to use what little brain cells he had to find a way to talk this guy down. "Er...why did you want to become a hero anyway?"
"Why do you want to know, are you pitying me?!"
"What? No...I'm just curious...you were shouting that you wanted to get into this school, right?
"Well, yes...but my quirk was 'too harmful.'"
"I mean, it was."
"I KNOW THAT!" Ted snapped. "But...it was my dream...I had to try, don't you understand? Look, I know I'm not doing the right thing right now...and this isn't very heroic...but I need that eye. It's the only way I can use my quirk without..."
"You don't have much time left, right?" Kaminari said, and Ted somberly nodded. "Do you really think these people are gonna let you have that thing?"
"It's the only option I have left. I'm aware I pretty much dug my own grave..." Ted said. "I need to...I don't want to die."
Kaminari sighed. "Look, I'm not the smartest guy out there...and...I'm probably going to screw this up but...what made you want to become a hero in the first place? Maybe if you remember that..."
Ted scrunched up his face, his baggy eyes trained on Kaminari. "I...I just like helping people, I don't know. I remember watching All Might on the TV...he saved me once, did you know that? I guess I wanted to be like him..."
"Would All Might do something like this?"
Ted remembered watching his idol battle All For One on television, mere months before the Necromancer recruited him, promising to save his life. All Might had put his all into that fight, even...
Even though there was almost zero chance of survival.
"No...he wouldn't..." Ted looked towards Kaminari. "I really am a coward, huh?"
"It's not too late to do the right thing."
"It's too late to redeem myself...I've already helped the League get the eye..."
"But you can stop that woman from hurting Uraraka..." Kaminari pointed up towards the fight. "Or you could even restrain Todoroki...I know your quirk is hurting you...but it's also really powerful...you can stop this."
Ted looked up at Big Momma, who was trying to get ahold of her gun again. "I can't stop her...she'd take control of me, but I can tell you how to beat her. She's a helicopter parent, you see, that's her bad life decision. Her kids didn't die, they got fed up with her and left. Anyone who has had tension with their parents in their past, they become her replacement children, children that she can control, no problem."
"How do we free them?"
"Remind them of who they are, as an individual, or take her out. If you can't do that...they will be used up until they die." Ted looked towards Todoroki. "Is there something that could be used to snap him out of it?"
"I-I don't know...wait, THAT'S IT!" Kaminari ran off. "Thanks man! Remember...it's never too late to do the right thing."
Ted coughed, and his vision briefly blurred, but he managed to steady himself.
I've always wanted to be a hero...
Is now my chance?
Weather was actually starting to get tired.
Todoroki was relentless in his attacks, ice and fire rained down on him, but Weather refused to fight offensively. This boy was his friend, and Weather never hurts his friends.
But if Todoroki continued to attack him like this, he would have no choice but to defend himself.
Then a bowl of cold soba landed on Todoroki's head, stopping his attack. Even under mind control, Todoroki was understandably confused.
"REMEMBER THAT?! IT'S YOUR FAVORITE FOOD!" Kaminari yelled down, and only got a blank stare. "I just made it for you! Remember soba?!"
"I don't think food is gonna do it kid!" A raspy voice called out.
"SHIT! Wait, I brought a tea kettle, you want me to warm it up?! I can warm it up!"
Todoroki gasped as soon as Kaminari brought up the tea kettle, and held his head. "W-what?! What...happened?!"
"HA! I KNEW IT! HE WANTED IT WARM!"
Weather sighed and deactivated his stand, and ran over to Todoroki, getting extremely close. "Are you okay?"
"I'm confused...I...I ATTACKED URARAKA! IS SHE-"
Weather pointed upwards, and Todoroki saw that Big Momma had gotten a hold of her assault rifle again, and was pointing it at the injured hero student, doing some kind of psychotic monologue.
Then, a hand made out smoke grabbed her, startling the enemy stand user, and flung her to the ground in front of the heroes. Ted simply coughed, and sat down, throwing his cigarette aside.
"Wha-Shoto honey, please save me!"
"No."
Big Momma's eyes widened as the group began surrounding her, and Ermes stomped over and grabbed the collar of the woman's shirt. "WHERE IS JOLYNE YOU BITCH?!"
"You're too late, Ermes Costello, all of you are! Jolyne Kujo was my real target!" Big Momma said with a smile. "Her family life was on public display, in case you forgot! Everyone knows how Jolyne rebelled against her mother, I knew she was the perfect target for my stand, Mother Knows Best! She's already handed the eye over to the Alpha!"
Anasui, who had arrived alongside Jotaro, picked up the woman and slammed her on the ground. "WHERE IS SHE?!"
"How would I know?"
Anasui punched Big Momma in the face, his eyes filled with rage. "I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU! WHERE IS SHE?!"
Jotaro, who was tending to a wounded Ochako and a guilty Todoroki, was visibly shaking, whether out of anger or out of fear, the others couldn't tell.
"I don't know what the Alpha decided to do to her, he does have a grudge against Dr. Kujo over there, so I wouldn't be surprised if she was already dead. She would've stayed still like a good little girl under the effect of my stan-"
Jotaro finished bandaging Uraraka, and slowly turned around. "Where is my daughter?" He asked quietly, and a chill was felt in the air as Jotaro began walking towards the downed stand user. "There had to have been a dropoff point where you instructed Jolyne to give it to this 'Alpha', where?"
"I'm not tell-"
"By the old theatre." Everyone turned to Ted, who was sitting cross legged. "That's where the Alpha likes to meet up."
Big Momma turned towards Ted in a rage. "YOU FUCKING TRAITOR!"
Jotaro had suddenly vanished, clearly he had stopped time to check the area that Ted mentioned, and Big Momma turned back towards the group.
"Not cool man..." Kirishima said darkly. "That's my friend's sister...if she's hurt..."
"You took control of me, made me hurt my friends." Todoroki said, his eyes narrowing in anger. "Did you think I wouldn't take that personally?"
"That woman...is the love of my life..." Anasui muttered, before putting Diver Down inside Big Momma, and she began to scream as he began torturing her from the inside. "I'll kill you if something happened to her."
"No need." Jotaro had returned, carrying an unconscious Jolyne in his arms. Blood was dripping from her side, it was clear that she had been shot. "I think our friend the 'Alpha' deserves it more..." While Jotaro's face betrayed nothing, his voice was shaky, and full of venom.
"JOLYNE!" Anasui ran over to his fiance and touched her face, and Jolyne's eyes fluttered open.
"Dad? Narci...sso?"
"Yes Jolyne, it's us, we're here."
Jolyne's eyes began to water. "I'm so...sorry...I failed..."
"Shhhhh..." Jotaro gently brushed his daughter's face with his thumb. "You did the best you could, this isn't your fault."
"They have the eye..."
"We'll get it back."
Everyone gathered around Jolyne as she broke down, and Big Momma tried to use the opportunity to escape.
*CRACK!*
Kirishima had noticed her attempt and knocked her out in one blow, and Jolyne slowly got to her feet, after she fished the bullet out of her gut with Stone Free.
"Do you know where this Alpha is?" Ochako, who had a bandage wrapped around her head, asked Ted.
"He's hiding out in an old Chuck E. Cheese, he's made it into a maze of arcade machines. Look, this guy is pretty crafty, he probably knows you're coming."
"He won't get away with this." Ermes stated. "We've handled people like him before."
"You've handled him before...he hates you Dr. Kujo...apparently you handed him a really embarrassing defeat back in Egypt..."
Jotaro said nothing, he only stared at the ground with an enraged expression.
The police came a few moments later, and Ted willingly turned himself in, while Big Momma was carted off with a huge dent in her cheek.
Josuke had shown up along with them, and had just finished healing everyone who needed it. "Well, what are we gonna do now? The eye is gone..."
Jotaro shared a look with everyone involved, and Jolyne stood up with a determined look on her face.
"We're attacking Chuck E. Cheese, of course."
The Alpha has the eye.
Also, one thing I might've been neglecting in this story is enemy quirk users. If anyone has quirk ideas as well as stands, feel free to share!
