Chapter 15- Much needed training (And Then Fun!)
What do you get when you ask a trio of superhero girls with years of experience and knockouts under their belts for help training before a major Sports event? I don't know, that's why this should be interesting to say the least. But like the saying goes, all work and no play…MAKES ME ALMOST GO NUTS!
Chapter 15- Much needed training (And Then Fun!)
As the school week concluded, although it did not deter anyone on their determination to train towards the Sports Festival that will be coming up in weeks' time. Everyone, in all the classes at UA are working on various aspects of themselves, whether it be their stamina, endurance, strength or whether even their tactical expertise; no one wants to give less than their best when the day comes around. That could be said about a certain green haired boy, who knows a little something about pressure and wanting to prove something others and himself.
Izuku was on a mission to do his best at the Sports Festival, siting as a chance to be the next "All Might", and though he was not feeling great about that comment, he nevertheless wanted to show everyone that he was more than capable to being a hero. If he wanted to be a hero, he knew that he had to get a handle on his powers or at least stop hurting himself while using it. He has done it before at the USJ attack but…that was more out of concern than it was about focusing. So he realized that he would need some help in power and control. He would have gone to All Might, but he didn't want to bother him, seeing that he already had his own problems with maintaining his remaining One For All at the moment.
Izuku did however get the help of 3 interesting girls at his school, in his class. He doesn't know much about them, only that they are transfer students from another country, it would seem. That would explain their uncharacteristic attitudes unlike most. The first time he had seen them was on the news, to do with a villain attack on one of the Pro heroes, Midnight. He actually had the pleasant surprise to be rescued by them months ago, which was a shock to him; being that they broke the laws on quirk usage without a licence.
After a series of events and bumping in to certain influences now in his life, he has managed to get to a certain point in his life that allows him to achieve his childhood dream…that said, it may still be hard.
-Midnight's House-
It was Saturday morning and the girls have woken up to start their training for the Sports Festival. They already informed and asked Ms Nemuri about a boy coming over to train with them, after the initial reaction of her poking about their potential "love lives", the girls made it clear that it was Buttercup's "love life" involved; and that's how the comedy show started with the ravenette trying to debunk those lies. When everything was settled, Nemuri happily agreed for them to host him, though she won't be around, as she had errands to run and a patrol later.
The girls were left alone to put up a plan, or rather Blossom was, before their guest were to arrive; they informed him ahead of time him, that they will start at around 7.30 a.m.
A few minutes passed and a couple of knocks could be heard from the front door. Guessing it might be Izuku, Bubbles took the liberty to answer the door, and as soon as she did so, she was greeted with a familiar nervous smile. Izuku was standing at the door, wearing a sleeveless green hoodie, black knee length workout shorts and a pair of red and white sneakers; a small fanny pack over his shoulders.
"Good morning Bubbles." He addressed with a bow. He saw that she was wearing black yoga pants with shorts over them and a blue yoga tank top.
Bubbles smiled. "Good morning Izuku. You know you don't have to bow to me. We are friends after all."
Izuku was a little embarrassed, taken aback. "F-friends?"
Bubbles just gave a small giggle. "Yeah of course, anyway come on in, the others are waiting in the gym." She took his arm and dragged inside, closing the door behind them."
As Izuku was walking down the area, he could not help but be a little nervous being in a pro hero's house. He deduced some time ago that the girls were living under Ms Midnight, the last names were his first give away and the fact that he saw Midnight ride with the girls to the hospital after the USJ attack; his theories were proven after asking them in person some time ago when they had a chat.
Izuku was brought out of his thoughts, as one of his hosts made a stop and he realized that they were in a gym at the back of the house, next to it were the spacious grounds. He admired the equipment they had around.
Buttercup and Blossom were there. Blossom was on the mat meditating. Her hair was kept in a loose messy bun, wearing a red T, red sweatpants and pink sports sandals. Her body emitted a pink glow that went over to cover some dumbbells as they were lifted above her head. Buttercup was wearing her neon green-yellow sports bra and shorts, barefooted, wearing combat gloves; she was practicing some punches on a punching bag.
"Hey girls. Izuku is here." Bubbles announced, trying to get her sister's attentions. That did it, as each girl stopped what they were doing and came over.
Blossom started. "Good morning Izuku. Nice you came."
Izuku nodded. "Glad to be here. I am thankful for the help."
Buttercup rounded behind the greenette. "Well then, let's hit it." Smacking the boys back as she gave a smile.
They went to the center of the room to warm up; each doing their own individual stretches. After it was deemed fit that they were loosened up a bit, they begun the training.
"Alright everyone." Blossom clapped. "Now, the Sports Festival is only a few weeks away and we want to be ready for whatever happens. Now, let's do some strength, endurance and stamina training, then we can move on to power training. Sound good?" She inquired of them.
"No problem Boss."
"Got it red."
"Yeah, sounds great."
Nodding at that. "Okay we will start this out with some…strength training." She groaned, knowing what was going to happen. Buttercup gave a sly smirk at that. "Buttercup will lead us on the strength part." That was followed by an evil chuckle that honestly made Izuku's blood curl.
"Alright ladies…" Emerald eyes alight with mischief. "…let's do this."
For the next hour or so they were all subjected to Buttercup's boot camp. The exercises that followed were a series of calf raises, lunges, squats, tricep dips, pushups, weight lifts, planks, leg raises and dead lifts (emphasis on the dead part, as those were no joke.). Buttercup by far was the most competitive person you would meet, being that she also doesn't give any slack to her own sisters when they do train together. By the time they were done, within two and a half hours, they were panting and some were drenched in sweat.
Wiping a touch of sweat from her face. "Alright chumps, how you doing?" She asked.
Blossom was bent over, trying to take in as much air as she could, while sending death glares at her raven haired sister.
Bubbles was on her butt trying to steady her heart after that.
Izuku was sprawled on the floor, waiting for the sweet embrace of death to finally take him. 'What did I get myself in to?'
After a short 30 minute break, the guys moved on to power training/combat, to better work on their abilities and see where to improve.
Ducking from a weak attempt at a punch. "Pretty weak shot dude." The punches kept coming, with Buttercup blocking each one, not giving Izuku an inch.
The drill was simple. They would each fight each other, with no powers at the moment and basically perform another warm up. The girls first started out with fighting each other, and then Izuku would fight one of them.
"Nice try green bean." Buttercup blocks Izuku's punch, moving to attempt to give a high kick he witnessed Bubbles do a while ago, for which she easily dodged it.
When it was Izuku's turn, he chose to fight with Buttercup, as more of a challenge to him, he thought. The fight was very informative, even though Izuku was ways behind her abilities, he could see some areas of improvement; with helpful critique.
Buttercup, feigning a strike, crouch down to give a high kick that sent Izuku flying a few feet on to the ground; sprawled out in defeat.
"I hope I didn't break any bones." Buttercup calmly said, as she made her way over the defeated boy. She could see his dazed look, stretched out her hand, "You alive there green bean?"
Izuku groaned, sitting up to take a hold of her hand, "I think my bruises have bruises." That made Buttercup stifle a laugh. "Oh come on string bean. Your form is pretty shitty but I see you still remembered what I showed you months ago." That made him smile at the memory of the first time they ever met.
Giving him a slight shove. "Eh, may not be professional, but totally not horrible." Getting him out of his mind. Izuku just gave a less than thrilled smile.
Bubbles piped in. "Hey guys, how about you two move on to power training. I think that would be best." A fine idea, that no one had any problem with.
"Don't worry Izuku, Buttercup has always been a tough/rough fighter, even when we were younger." Blossom said, sitting in a meditation form, lifting Bubbles in the air, much to her joy. "Weeeeee!" Bubbles exclaimed. "Yeah! She is usually the one who fights hard, doesn't help that she likes MMAAA..!" Joyfully performing aerial routines and flips.
"Whoa! That's so awesome." Izuku, finally dusted himself, he was admiring the way they had control and effort on their abilities. Buttercup at this point went inside to get everyone water.
Blossom nodded. "It's just about control and focus."
"And a lot of fun!" She did a couple more spins, before being gently let down. "Hey Izuku, you said you wanted to train with us, what specifically are you having problems with, your powers?"
Izuku awkwardly nodded. "Yeah, just trying to get a better handle on it."
"Well you did say that your quirk causes you to get hurt. You gain immense strength from what I have seen but you wind up breaking your bones." Blossom, though trying to give off a neutral expression, could not help showing a bit of uneasiness at the double edge sword characteristics of the boy's power.
Izuku nodded, "Yeah, since I did not learn how to use it early, on the count I was a late bloomer. It has not been easy to say the least." A nervous smile followed. He didn't like to lie but knew he couldn't reveal his secret.
"Well I understand, but Buttercup told us that you had a trainer a while back, didn't this trainer ever give you some pointers or even tell you how to use your quirk?" Bubbles asked.
He couldn't help but remember the All Might's advice, 'Always clench your butt cheeks before you yell SMASH!' Easy to say that it was not the most understandable point of advice yet. He gave a nervous chuckle, "Well my couch helped me to build-up my body to best suit my quirk. Not much on how to use it, I'm just learning it on my own." Rubbing his right arm absently.
Bubbles and Blossom could not help but feel a little relation to how his story sounded familiar. But chose to brush that thought aside, but another thought did cross the red heads mind.
"Izuku. From what I saw initially, you seem to build up your strength in to a specific limb before you attack, am I right?" She inquired thoughtfully.
Initially caught off guard, "Yeah I do…" He answered honestly.
Blossom hummed. "Your quirk is an emitter type, as it stockpiles power and enhances one's physical abilities. From what I gathered at the quirk assessment test, you directed all that power in to at first your arm but then in to your fingers, leaving it damaged from the strain you placed on it."
Izuku was awed at her deduction but nevertheless answered with an sheepish "yes", still finding that day more or less draining. "So what Bloss?" Bubbles curiously asked, sitting on the ground.
Blossom thoughtfully said. "I think his quirk's traits are not so different from a certain sister's own quirk, if I may say." Before she could go on, Buttercup, as if on cue, came over; holding four water bottles, then proceeded to toss everyone their own water bottle.
Taking a stand next to Bubbles. "Soooo, what are we talking about?" Nonchalantly asking, as she took a big gulp of her water.
Bubbles replied. "Blossom was just trying to get a better understanding of Izuku's quirk." Taking a sip of her water.
She nodded. "Yeah, I was about to suggest to Izuku to do what you did when you needed to control yours." That got Buttercup's head to turn so fast at that, you could swear you felt a breeze forming. "What?!" Credit to her subtleness, she whisper screamed while Izuku didn't notice.
Blossom signalled with her eyes as she conveyed, "Nothing too detailed, I meant how you were able to control some bursts of quirk." The hints were well received, for Buttercup calmed down, albeit not before she gave a glare at her sister.
At that moment, Izuku suddenly remembered something. "Oh yeah! I remember you were about to tell As-Tsu and I about your quirk, but we were interrupted by the attack." Blossom turned her stare now at the raven haired girl, as if to say 'what did you say?', but Buttercup quickly shut it down with a stare of her own that said 'nothing red'. Continuing, "If you don't mind, what is it? It seems really interesting, how did you learn to control it?" Izuku finally asked quite enthusiastically.
The girls sweat dropped at their peer's enthusiasm, but Buttercup rolled her eyes. "First of all, take it down a notch buddy. Secondly, my quirk allows me to create and use plasma energy." As to make a point, lifted her hand and formed a ball of plasma energy, much to the awe of her quirk analyst classmate.
Blossom further went on with the explanation. "She can also use it to boost her own strength and abilities such like yours (well not exactly but why say) and that's why I suggested her as an example." She finished.
With rolled eyes, "Well thank you teacher Blossom", Bubbles teasingly said, taking another sip of her drink much to Buttercup's amusement.
"That's really impressive." Izuku now gave a thoughtful expression. "That could also explain your strength and the tolerance to the heat given off by Bakugo quirk, siting that plasma is a hotter source than fire and your quirk could have secondary characteristics that makes you resistant or simply immune to heat. But could that be really possible? Imagine the effects it could have, especially if true invulnerability, could be a great match up against other fire user quirks. Could it be a match up against Endeavor, but it would also depend of how high the temperature a person could stand, maybe hotter than the sun-umm!" Izuku's ramblings were cut off when Buttercup shoved his water bottle in to his mouth.
"Geez man. Didn't we already talk about your word vomiting? Eish." Buttercup sighed.
"He makes Blossom's speeches seem like an anecdote." Bubbles mockingly said.
"Hey!" Blossom said in her defensive, but secretly could not argue on her classmates excessive words.
They all laughed at that, which made Izuku, who initially felt a bit embarrassed, realize that they were only teasing, laugh as well.
"So red, what are you getting at?" Buttercup done, asked her sister.
"Well. What I was getting at, was that can't Izuku transfer the energy all over his body, initially distributing the power equally, as to lessen the potential damage that it could lead to your body? I have a thought that like any emitter quirk like yourself, or anyone who is starting off learning their abilities, they need to start slow, and letting it flow in and around the body on command continuously." Blossom explained.
She could see the realization growing his head, so she went to use an example. "It's like a circuit diagram, if you may. Where your quirk is the battery, a power source and we have bulbs that represent certain areas of your body and switches that allow the current to move freely through the wires attached. Now, you seem to allow your quirk to activate or switch on to a certain bulb, thereby allowing light to shine, but in turn, it can cause strain on the one bulb, due to the sudden influx of power, and short term use; doing that will end up damaging the bulb a.k.a your limbs. Now, I believe allowing the free flow of current through all the bulbs, will allow for a better power usage and control." Blossom concluded her explanation.
For a minute, Izuku was thinking at the example given to him by Blossom, the concept was not above his head. He could admit that he was using 100% cowl whenever he activated his quirk, in doing so without training it and only to one limb; winding it up with broken bones. The idea seemed so simple, that he felt ashamed that he didn't think of it sooner. Granted, I didn't wield this power for very long, but…ugh. If his power was the battery, then he must allow the 'currents' to pass freely through all the bulbs of his body.
Izuku closed his eyes and made an attempt to activate his quirk, this time, differently. 'Allow the currents to pass through, let's allow all the switches on.'
After a few minutes, there was a round of whoa, as the girls were dazzled but what they were witnessing.
Izuku was activating his powers, allowing the energy to flow throughout his body and not just to one area at a time. Instead of summoning One For All, he directed it to spread throughout his body, letting the little bit of the power flow in at a time. Red vein like energy surge, wrapped around areas of his body, legs, arms and face, as teal coloured lightning danced around him; a smell of ozone was in the air. When done he felt happy that it worked, but he also felt tired. Before he hit the ground, a soft but firm hand caught his arm, laying him gently on the ground to rest.
Soon panic was heard. "Izuku, are you okay? Are you sick? Was it your powers? Did it cause too much strain? Are you-" A swift chop to the head silenced the worryful PPG.
"Relax Bubbles, Izuku must just be tired from that quirk use. Also a combination of Buttercup's training session." Blossom said bluntly, while Bubbles tended to her sore head, compliments of an annoyed Buttercup.
Izuku easily steadied his head and noticed he was in someone's arms; he looked on to see a familiar scowling look that turned to stare back at him with a slight hint of worry. He gave what seemed to be a whisper, "Buttercup?..." A small smile on his lips, that no one seem to pay mind to.
Buttercup sighed with a small smile that quickly turned neutral. "Alright green bean, time for everyone to take another break." Looking at her sister's for any objections, there was none.
They were all inside, sitting at the kitchen to have some juice and sandwiches the girls help make with Nemuri some hours ago for lunch. When Izuku came to not so long ago, he objected to not being a bother, that he will eat later, but the girls, with added heat from Buttercup insisted that it was no problem. They all ate in silence, and when done, Blossom wanted to go and meditate some more, while Bubbles opted to take a quick nap. She didn't miss a chance to make a comment that went along the lines of, "Enjoy lunch you two lovebirds." With a quit giggle that followed.
The blue PPG immediately turned around the corner, missed being hit by a green blast that left a small sized hole in the wall; left by a ticked off Buttercup. Izuku obliviously didn't catch that but was suddenly surprised by the sound and sight of the wall being destroyed; he chose to ignore it, not wanting to be dragged in to a sisters dispute. They two sat in silence eating, when Buttercup noticed Izuku's facial expression.
"Hey green bean, you have been smiling this whole time we have been eating. What? Are the sandwiches that good?" Buttercup joked, but was interested in the guy's recent good mood.
"Oh." The green haired boy didn't realize his emotions were on his sleeve so easily. Rubbing the back his head, embarrassed, "It's nothing. I'm-I'm just happy that I got some training from you guys, and even though it was only the first day of training, I learned a great deal. I just wanted to say thanks for helping." He gave a happy smile.
Seeing the joy on her classmates face, she couldn't help but give a small smile of her own. "Hey, it's no problem green bean." That turned in to a sadistic smirk. "Besides, we still have 2 more weeks remaining and now that you can partially use your powers, I won't go easy on you anymore." A menacing laugh escaped her lips.
Izuku hearing that, still held his smile, but only had one thought racing through his mind at that. 'I'm dead!'
Izuku could honestly say that the advice he gotten from Blossom was invaluable in his training. He learned to use One For All. More specifically, he learned to further distribute the flow of power throughout his body, like currents through his body. The hard part was him trying to move, but with some much needed 'incentive' from Buttercup, he was able to become mobile while his quirk was on. Granted, he could only manage to use about 9% cowl at the moment, but he was happy nonetheless at the results of it. He was also working some fighting styles to best suit his power.
In that short amount of time, Izuku jotted down some ideas in his notebook that might come in handy later in his own fighting style. In the timespan of the training with the girls, he noticed their small individual fighting styles that seem to work well with their characters. Blossom's style was more involving self-discipline, reading and redirecting a person's attack. She is as agile as her sisters but not very proficient in hand to hand. Buttercup has a more MMA type of style, with more strength to her powers than her sisters. Bubbles style is keener towards acrobatics, rhythm , flexibility and kicks; much like capoeira.
Buttercup gave him the idea to incorporate not just fists but legs too, to not just be an imitation of his hero. Glad that she didn't mean more to what she said.
Izuku knew that he had to do his absolute best this Sports Festival, not just for himself but…
"I don't care about you're worthless quirk. I will beat you no matter what! And those 3 freaks you call friends of yours! I am going to be the number one hero and I won't allow some fucking extras to get in my way! So enjoy your win, because it won't last."
…also to show a friend of his that he has some competition on his tail, and he won't back down either.
It was 5 days before the Sports Festival started and of course the girls were getting as ready as can be. They whole event has been highly talked about and people were going all out, after all, UA's particular was the most well-regarded Festival out of the other Hero Schools' Sports Festivals. That morning, the Blossom and Buttercup were taking a well sought out break when Nemuri came in with some very exciting news.
"Girls! Girls! I have some great news for you all!" Nemuri dressed in normal clothes came in very excited.
The girls for a quick second were on high alert for any trouble, but quickly relaxed at the woman's excited, albeit crazy form.
"What's going on Ms Nemuri?" Blossom asked, if only to satiate her curiosity.
Nemuri smiled as she presented them with a flyer. They took the flyer and what was written on it was indeed something to be excited over. Tomorrow, Musutafu was hosting a beach market/fair in celebration of the approaching Sports Festival. Vendors everywhere were to sell various kinds of things: special merch, street food, handmade goods, and many other things; no doubt it was going to a busy place with a lot of people coming to check it out. But what caught the girl's eyes was-
"BEACH!" They all said in unison.
Nemuri nodded, "Yes girls, at the Dagobah Municipal Beach Park. They say that some selfless humanitarian cleaned it up, restoring it to its once beauty and they decided to use as the fair location. But don't worry, they will make sure not to let it get polluted again."
"Alright! I can't wait to go to the beach again!" Bubbles giddily exclaimed.
"There are prizes, foods and a whole lot of other cool stuff. Most importantly, it's…A FREAKING BEACH!" Buttercup matched her sister's energy, being one of the rare times. You know it's exciting.
"Honestly, this brings back some fond memo-" Blossom mentally cursed herself at that thought. That sudden slip up caused the atmosphere to change significantly.
Nemuri noticing the sudden change, wanted to inquire. "Girls, what's the matter? What's with the sudden change in mood?"
"It's just that, we use to love the beach back when we were home. Even when we were unfortunate to get sun burn, it was fun, but…" Bubbles drawled.
"We just suddenly missed home, that's all." Blossom looked apologetic at causing it.
Buttercup didn't say anything, but Nemuri could see her was nothing more than her suppressing her sadness with the feeling being homesick.
Nemuri, with a sympathetic smile, walked over to sit with the girls. "Girls, it's not wrong to miss home. I can understand that all your memories are back home but you have each other; no matter what, you stick together. And like Nezu said, he will help you find a way home, it's just a little tricky. Besides, don't let the sadness take over your days, I think going to the fair tomorrow can reignite some old memories and you can make new ones along the way." Looking at them with soothing eyes.
The girls mauled over the idea. They have been here for close to a year and although they miss home, they can't continue to be sad for long; sooner or later they will get home, but until then, they have a goals to obtain; one to be heroes here and the other, take down HIM. They also know that feeling down will not change anything but ruin their mood, so there is only one thing to do.
"Well, what do you say girls?" Nemuri asked hopefully.
They looked at each other and knew their collective opinions once again.
Blossom spoke. "Well I can speak for everyone when we agree…"
"LET'S HAVE A BEACH DAY!"
-Dagobah Municipal Beach Park-
The next day around 12:00 noon, the girls arrived at the beach fair. The place was filled with tents and vendors, activity booths and whatnot. It was all too mesmerizing and filled with laughter and joy; it looked like half the city was at that fair. To mark the celebration of the day, everyone dressed up; being summer was just around the corner, they all dressed accordingly.
When the PPG's arrived, they were dressed for the season. Bubbles was wearing a light blue spaghetti strap summer dress with sunflowers adorned on it, sandal strap shoes and had her hair down. Buttercup was wearing white shorts, a dark green t-shirt, yellow sneakers and olive green framed sunglasses. Blossom was wearing a red off shoulder top, reasoning it would get too hot, a tawny-orange midi skirt, sandal straps, a wool cardigan sweater for later on and a sunhat. She also opted to let her hair down, with Bubbles making a few suggestions, with two small braids holding the hair back and tied with her ribbon. Midnight was in a navy blue romper, with red accents and gladiator sandals, paired with burgundy sunglasses and a matching purse; hair pulled back in a ponytail.
The girls were in awe at the sites and they wasted no time to hit the fair.
As soon as they got inside, Bubbles raced straight for the tents, browsing in awe at the products. One particular tent she stopped by had custom made jewellery.
"Hello, little lady! Interested in buying a UA charm bracelet?" The vendor chirped, "We have a special deal! Buy one; get three more at the additional price of one!"
Bubbles squealed before taking out her bunny themed purse, and taking out some cash.
"Yes please!" She exclaimed.
After taking the money, the lady gave her a round mahogany box with the bracelets inside.
"Thank you for the business! Come again!" She said happily.
Bubbles then ran towards her sisters and Midnight, who were browsing another tent.
"Look, look, look! I got us some UA themed charm bracelets! Aren't they cool?" Bubbles remarked as she opened the box.
Midnight touched that she bought one for her, happily took one and wore it there and then. "It's lovely dear, thank you."
The others soon followed, thanking her as well.
As they walked along, Buttercup rolled her eyes as she stuck her hands into her short pockets, not finding anything yet that caught her eyes. That is until she caught a certain scent in the air, Buttercup was entranced. "What smells so good?" Buttercup pointed out.
Before Blossom could respond, Buttercup sped to the source of the delectable smell, with her nose as the leader. The others quickly followed the raven haired girl, until they found her at a nice looking food vendor's tent.
"WOW! THESE ARE GOOD!" Buttercup was busy stuffing her face with two bags full of Takoyaki. She retuned back to her group, who gave her a look.
"What?" With a mouth full of her delights. They merely just burst out giggling at the way Buttercup looked right now, she didn't care, rolling her eyes, she continued to eat her food.
As the day went on, the girls got to try many games and activities as well as crossed paths with certain people from school, and let's just some of them, they were not happy to see. They also managed to try other foods and buy certain items that included, but wasn't limited to: a Nezu plushie (guess who bought that), a Midnight themed choker, some Sports Festival themed shirts, a Thirteen puffer jacket, a limited edition trading cards of Heroes, and many MANY sticks of dango.
The girls were having fun so much. And what's better was that they got to enjoy a little piece of their childhood memories, even if it was not in the same world, they were happy that they were still together; more so happy that they have a wonderful people looking after them. So, they were able to be carefree and joyful as they bought stuff from tents, played some games, and danced to live music.
Soon, the girls had to leave for the day, as the sun was coming down and more people were coming for the nightly festivities. The girls wanted to do one more thing before they had to go, to which after Midnight heard, was more than happy to accept.
As the golden sun rays danced over the light blue waters of the beach, the four ladies could not help but admire the sunset in all its beauty. The girls wanted to at least watch the sun fall, capturing it with digital pictures and mental ones, to always keep close to their hearts. Midnight left to buy one or two things, telling them the plan of meeting at the exit in 30 minutes; everyone agreed.
A few minutes of silence passed, before someone spoke up.
"Hey guys. What do you think HIM is doing right now?" Bubbles asked blankly.
It should have racked some fear, but after the day they had, they were just too exhausted.
"At the moment, he could be plotting any stupid plan against us Bubs." Buttercup said with a shrug.
"Not so sure Bubbles." Blossom gave her own reply.
Another moment of silence came, before Bubbles asked another question.
"Are you guys nervous about the Sports Festival?" Turning her head to look at their faces.
"Honestly Bubbles, the event is not what I am worried about. More about what comes after." Blossom answers blankly.
Buttercup playfully scoffs, "You always seem to think five steps in to the future, huh red?"
Shrugging with a smirk. "That's why I'm the leader."
"We know! You never stop letting us know that." Giving an eye roll. Followed by another round of laughter, till it quickly died down.
"But seriously Bubbles, we won't really know what to expect at the Sports Festival, the events or its outcomes." Blossom honestly said.
"Yeah trust me, I tried getting it out Ms Nemuri." Buttercup said it as if it's something to be proud of.
"Buttercup!" The other said in unison.
For which Buttercup just laughed at their faces. "Oh what? I just wanted to know if there was any fighting in it." They then joined in the laughter again.
"Oh well, I just wished we knew what to expect that day." Bubbles said not so glumly but with a thoughtful look.
"We could always travel forward in ti-"
"Nope." Bubbles wasted no time in shutting down that idea.
"Besides, we're the Powerpuff Girls. Expecting the unexpected is what we do, and I don't think it will end anytime soon girls." Blossom said with a fond smile.
"Of course." Bubbles sighed. "It comes with the job."
"Ugh! Okay ladies, I think this whole share your feelings session has been swell and dandy but I want to hit the shower as soon as possible. So let's haul ass." Buttercup proposed, standing up from the sand.
Blossom groaned. "Fine fine Buttercup. We might all need a shower. But can't you say it without the sailor's mouth?" Crossing her arms under her chest.
Buttercup shrugged. "Hey I'm Buttercup, it comes with the package." She started walking, with two sisters behind her.
"Give it up Blossom. She will always be our Buttercup, for better or…mainly worse." That made Blossom smile as she walked hand in hand with her little sister back to the meet up point.
By the time they left, they were given memories that would follow them forever.
Authors Notes:
This chapter was about to be the end of my brain. Seriously, this was a lot of idea spewing but I did it. Make sure you enjoy my work.
Now, I know that I made Izuku's training a bit too early but when have I been so sane with my writing? Also, some ideas maybe coming in, but I won't tell, look closely.
Also, I love Blossom's own idea of how to put things in to perspective. She is very smart, but she can make mistakes as well. Anyway, don't bash me for my example of how to access One For All, I was drawing a blank, either that or a water balloon; but if you still want to know about the balloon example, just PM me or comment and I will tell you if you want.
Once again, I thank the fic: Bittersweet Harmony and a shout out to the fic: A Waterbending Quirk, for some of their ideas.
Like always, like and review.
