Hey guys sorry for being late again.
After USJ incident, critiques did nothing but, more like advertised U.A' name. More people talking about it and aware of U.A more than ever. Appearance of Greenflame attracted even more attention than they first thought. People weren't even slightly aware Nezu' influence of closing a news channel. For them, it didn't appear on their TV channel menu. The channel itself was at the highest peak, which got sidelined under U.A and Nezu' shadow. The hot topics were bigger than that. Like the upcoming sports festival. Even Olympics got overshadowed and people don't care about those type of old games. They're interested in spending money to get the front seat at the arena, U.A always held the most entertaining sports there is. Many schools do sports festivals, only as a dark match of a boxing. No cameras, no telecasts, zero audience other than parents of the students. However, U.A has it's prestige and luxury. The whole japan, or even the people around the globe can watch the U.A sports festival, live on TV. The site of U.A has the subscribers to beef up the money Nezu can spend to conduct such an events.
Those are few of the thousand reasons why many are jealous of U.A. But they all hide their emotions knowing they can't do anything about it. Sports festival surprisingly for the citizens, is taking place in half a week. In 3 days precisely. Sure they still criticizing U.A for what happened at USJ, they're excited about the festival is gonna be an understatement. Obviously hype already build in their heart the second they laid eyes on colorful posters, commercials, news. The whole Japan is looking forward to watch the future heroes compete against one another and want to know who can match the strength of Number one hero Allmight. In their eyes, Allmight still is the strongest being in the universe. Sadly for them, they have only half knowledge of USJ incident. Allmight saved students along with other teachers and Greenflame was there to kill the villains. That's how the reports are published. In their eyes, Allmight is still unbeatable and many believes that, Greenflame won't even stand a chance against him. He's the only reason they feel safe out of their comfort zone. Greenflame will lose. A battle they wanna see in person and see the mysterious 'Vigilante' defeated by the Allmighty, Allmight. Little did they knows that, Ghost Rider is unbeatable. A walking destruction. The destruction who causes extinction upon the evil. Someone beyond their imagination.
The city was crowded that day. Footpaths overflowed with life, just minding their own business, sometimes bumping into one another. Like the road, the popular mall was as crowded. Crowded but can move around easily. Even so many people gathered in here, the mall was so big enough that, those who gathered would seem like not much. It's that huge. Kids stayed closer or clasped their hand with their parents. Recently, the mall was so popular like an amusement park, and can see many tourists or natives enjoying their stay. There were almost hundreds of shops of different verities, tempting customers to check out the goodies. Small children literally dragged their parents around like ragdoll with sparkling excited eyes. A typical children thing.
Out of the thousands, one person thankfully was out of limelight. He takes in a relieved sigh, and smiled to himself. Izuku roamed around really refreshed to be around people. Strangers, but his kind nonetheless. At least he was there kind before he died. That thought gave him a reasons to smile. He's dead, but he's alive. That's the most funniest joke he ever heard. He shook his head not wanting to laugh again as he walked with the hoard of people he never met before. They are sinners too, but forgivable. Their soul isn't strained, just filled with admiration, joy, sadness or whatever a normal person should feel.
Izuku looked down at his own appearance, which was not his Rider outfit. It was weird though. Striping out of that black clothing was like peeling away his skin, but eventually he got used to normal clothing again. Now he wore grey hoody and black sweatpants and red shoes. He got it in a rather complicated way, though.
Since he was planning a walk few days ago, he once felt a sense of a sinner nearby. However, the man wasn't a serial killer, smuggler or kidnapper. No. He was just crazy rich.
How being rich is a sin?
Well, he's a rich man who hides his wealth by running an average looking textiles. He sold original stuff. Dress lovers would go crazy seeing their dream company outfits that was pure and real. Many sample materials was next to each items and that alone proves the quality of the items. However, the owner has his way of being greedy and he sold everything triple expensive so people would buy stuff and he can get so much money. He has millions of profits yet he was an average citizen in front of others.
Izuku visited the place two days ago with his hood up and confronted the man. The shop keeper first made fun of Izuku and even threatened to call police. Izuku just laughed at the man saying, if he call police he also have to explain why or how he was so wealthy. Izuku could see what crime the man did and saw the reason behind his bank balance. The man once helped out a business man with some file related problems under the conditions of the business man giving money if the task smoothly done. The owner panicked but threatened Izuku with his illusion quirk, which may cause a person go crazy. Izuku see through the mans bluff, letting the man see his green hellfire fist, shutting the man's mouth.
Izuku then made the man donate all his undeserved money, to cancer centers, orphanage, or even charity cases, emptying his bank balance millions to just few thousand dollars. Izuku did not stop there and picked himself some cheapest clothes consist of two sweatpants and two hoodies and one red shoes. Izuku could see how much money the man deserves by just looking at his actions through his soul which told him the truth, and he made the man pay the bills of his shopping. After all, he's a charity case too. He can't just ask for money or ask for supplies just like that. He made the sinners pay, and he made the man pay for what he done.
That's how Izuku made a millionaire poor in five minutes. Now all the Orphanages and charity cases would not have to struggle anymore. Many kids can eat good food and wear new clothes. Many lives can be saved by the donated money. And Izuku will make sure only the deserving people could touch the money. And by that act, Izuku already started phase two. Purify or hunt down the souls of the fake heroes. Police are yet to discover the corpses of the two local heroes he hunt down yesterday and the other one pro hero got his soul purified and now doing his hero job carefully and good. Izuku already decided to purify those who committed less crimes and did not kill or take advantage on woman. Killer money starved heroes dies. Not like Izuku won't approve heroes earning money. Keyword; earning. He approve heroes having money they deserve after they risk their life for others. At least they deserves that much.
Izuku chuckled at the thoughts of the crying shop owner after he lost all the money, and moved forward again. Looking around, Izuku take in the view. People joyfully roaming here and there, visiting souvenir shops, game corners, restaurants, candy stores and more. Izuku' mouth watered when the aroma of delicacies, being served to the customers and he shook his head knowing he can't buy anything, unless he earns his own money. At least, being the rider keeps you alive. Like no starvation, thirst, sleep. Izuku doesn't need any of those, but can have if he wants to. His sleep works like a switch, can sleep or wake in a second, and he can even see good dreams if wished deeply. The eating part is same as normal people. Eat or not, he won't feel any difference other than enjoying the taste of food.
Izuku didn't mind and being the Rider, things like this did not effect him anymore. As he was enjoying his fun walk, he stopped outside a pet shop with so many glass aquariums are on the display outside. Many color fishes elegantly swimming around the wide aquarium and Izuku found the golden fish more beautiful and he walked closer and admired the beauty of them closely.
He then felt the jealousy of his pet raven, who probably felt it's beloved master caring for other pets. Izuku bit down the urge to laugh loud at his pet. Kodachi now high up in the sky taking a stroll around the areas and eliminate bad guys. Kodachi is as fast as the light if not more faster, and can end a sinner's life before they knows it. However, like Izuku instructed, Kodachi always starts with limps and let the sinners die in agony.
Letting his Raven do the job, Izuku enjoyed his free day. A free day until, some villains do anything wrong. Can't let Kodachi overwork.
Taking in the beautiful view of the elegant swimmers, Izuku stood tall and was about to leave. He stopped and stared at the thing attracted his interest. Walking closer, he looks at the poster, with the headline imprinted on top, 'U.A School sports festival-2013'
Izumi' school. The dream school he always dreamed of attending. The school Allmight graduated and became a a great hero. U.A's this year sports festival is so earlier and he always was a fan of it since his childhood.
"Interesting." Izuku mumbles.
Convinced, Izumi has permission granted to visit her mother and even do practice outside. But every offer here comes with it's own terms and conditions. Nezu wasn't slightly pleased by the idea of Izumi roaming around the city of her own and surprisingly, he assigned a arguably unnecessary bodyguard along with her fellow classmates. Not all but, all the girls. And next comes their bodyguard who was bored as hell enough, agreed to come with them. The R-Rated pro hero midnight. She was free that day since all the other class years got already their lessons covered and she was a numb football on a chair all the day. She once again felt more alive. Oboro Shirakumo, gave her enough concerns and she made herself believe her long lost friend is gone. She was forgetting it thankfully and Aizawa and Present Mic gladly approved her choice and did not bring up anything in front f her.
With all going on, Izumi didn't care much. Even she's so glad to introduce her friends to her mother.
"You guys have no idea. Mom' Katsudon is the best there is." Izumi proudly stated with smoldering gesture. Other girls gulped at the thought. After hearing Izumi, they so badly wanna take a bowlful of Inko' food items. She that much praised her mother.
"I can't wait." Mina exclaimed.
"Me too." Ura chirped and Tsu agreed.
"Me three." Toru cheered.
"I'll ask for a full recipe note if you're okay with it." Momo politely said.
"Sure, mom would love sharing her ideas. Her recipes are not so complicated but, the food you can make with it, is outstanding." Izumi said huffing proudly.
Midnight who walking with them in a normal and less revealing outfit, with sparkly eyes admired the interaction between the modern teenagers and did even chatted, joked laughed with them like they are childhood friends.
Midnight can't believe she end up being their friend even though being their teacher.
The sidewalk wasn't as populated like few minutes ago as they turned to another route and they keep joking and talking until Midnight spotted something.
A green light zooming past a the streets, diving behind a building.
"Midnight sensei? Something wrong?" Ura asked. Midnight snapped out of her trance and shook her head.
"I thought I saw something. Don't worry." She lied, intending to keep them calm. Last thing she wants is to lead them into a mess.
At least she told them to not worry. Because the next second, hell broke loose when they heard an earsplitting scream of pain, startling bystanders with them no exception. Izumi and her friends froze on the spot and Midnight panicked slightly. 'These kids are my responsibility. Sure as hell I keep them safe.' She thought but was too late. Izumi already took off to the place followed my her friends.
"HEY, COME BACK HERE! WAIT." Midnight shouted but to no avail. She groaned audibly and pursuing them. 'Eraser was right. These kids are problem children.' She thought and ran faster.
Crossing road, they almost ran over by vehicles multiple times, but didn't mind that much. Izumi wasn't sure of her choice, nor thinking clearly. Pained screams somehow makes her protective demeanor activate. Moving on with her brothers death, would have effected her possibly. Hell, even she almost ran into action to save Allmight at USJ. Everything else going on goes over her head when this happens.
"What are we even doing?" Ura shouted, unknowingly following her best friend.
"Honestly, will it sound crazy when I tell, I don't know?" Izumi shouted back.
"Why am I even running? As the vice rep, shouldn't I stop you guys?" Momo shouted to herself.
"You asking us, genius?" Mina teases.
Jiro was barely even catching up with them and they turned a corner leads to back streets. Thinking of even coming here at one good normal day seem like a foolish thought. Because, why on earth someone sane do want to have a walk around, these creepy dark parts?
Midnight eventually caught up with them and was about to stop them. But they beat midnight into it. Izumi was the first who halted making others bump into her, almost making her fall but thankfully kept her balance.
What they saw was familiar. Kinda used to. But still, they are terrified, unable to calm their nerves at the said familiar sight. The scene unfolded before them was no normal stuff you can see anywhere other than the crime scene, Greenflame appeared. First they saw were ashes and then few limbless living bodies, crying in agony, and then there is the inflictor of pain. The one who attacked them. And it wasn't what they expected to see.
The same hellish looking bird, Greenflame has. The hellfire Raven. Like a hawk, it circles the scene few feet up in the air. Midnight stalked in front of the students to defend in case. She can't even order them to run without it hearing them. A bird or not, threat is a threat. The exception of the situation is, this is not a normal bird. It belongs to the one and only 'Greenflame'.
Midnight released her sleeping gas, hoping to knock it out and hand it over to police. They have ways of dealing stuff like this.
Breathing in the gas, the living limbless villains fell asleep and finally it envelopes around the bird. "That's right." She mumbled victoriously, 100% sure the bird won't struggle anymore.
Izumi and others sighed in breath of relief, thinking Midnight has it under control. But their eyes widened when nothing really happened, as Kodachi just flapped it's blade wings and looking at them with it's fiery eyes. Soon it flapped it's wings so fast, kicking away the sleeping gas which merged with the oxygen.
"COVER YOUR NOSE. DON'T SMELL IT." Midnight shouted at the students who complied. Taking that time, Kodachi did his remaining job of ending the villains. To do things quick, the bird flapped it's wings again freeing the black blade-like feathers, sending it like projectiles with green hellflame covers it. Almost five alive but knocked out villains, and Kodachi was smart enough to precisely aim and keep the numbers of the feathers as the villains.
Midnight, with her quick reflexes reaches back her belt, pulling out her brown whip. The feathers were fast and Midnight barely could wrap the whip around the nearest villain, pulling him back just in time when the other four feathers made contact with the villain, making their body burst like a firecracker before crumble into ashes.
But they saw the feathers were fine and hovered above the ashes, now pointed straight at the remaining villain wrapped up. Seeing the fire blade feathers, Izumi activates her psychic, surrounding the purple energy around the five blade feathers, rendering their movements temporarily useless.
"ACID SHOWER." Mina shouted doing a roundhouse hick on the air, and few big splatters of acid being thrown out of her shoe, at the feathers. Thankfully, her attack wasn't in vain. Well, for making contact with the target that is. They stood there dumbfounded, when the metal melting acid did nothing to the feathers. The acid immediately was alight with green hellflame and the last evidence of the liquid was the vapor in the end.
Momo' intelligence was excellent, but making quick decisions at times like this weren't so easy for her. So she created a metal staff at stood there in case. At least she thought, the staff is useful, in reality it's not. And Jiro saw her uneasy look and sighed. She bring down her cable like earlobe, plugged in with the speakers on her boots. "Guys Move." She instructed and the others didn't question and move out of the way just as the Soundwaves got produced and hit both psychic covered feathers and Kodachi. The soundwaves did a role of a miniature storm almost destroying everything on the way.
The sudden force messed up Kodachi' balance but it still was hovering. Izumi' focus soon lost and they didn't even knew as one feather sneaks around them when they have their full attention, either on the bird or covering ears. The fight ended when the remaining villain got stabbed by the feather, turning him just ashes. Just like it got released, the feathers turned back to the bird' wings.
Kodachi soon enough left the scene in a green flash.
"So you mean, you aren't as powerful before?" Mirio spoke not believing what he heard as he holding a strand of blonde hair with his fingers.
The great Allmight' strength actually doesn't belong to him? Yeah great, now he's wondering which side he woke up on. Hearing the truth behind One for all is like a fiction.
"Yes, Mirio my boy. As Nighteye' assistant and a worthy successor, I choose you to inherit the power of the one for all. To be the number one and the one who destined to beat the powerful 'vigilante' and villains, so our society could take in a breath of relief."
How is it? hope you guys like it.
