Yuudai's POV:
I walk into the library in the shopping district finally as I took the long route with Izzy, but he's gone off with All Might. I look around as I browse the shelves for Yoko's book and find what I'm looking for, I pick the book up reading through quickly and sigh before picking up another book for caution.
Chapter 2 - The Glob Monster Returns
3rd POV:
In Tatooin Shopping District, in one of the dank alleyways, the captured Glob Monster awakens and looks around from inside the bottle. "Wh-where am I…? What happened…?" He ponders and remembers in counting the hero All Might. "Oh yeah… that bastard…If it weren't for that bastard…" He seethes as Katsuki, and his two minions walk down the same alleyway with the captured Glob Monster.
"Hey, Katsuki, aren't you and Midoriya childhood friend? And the Prez?" Minion 1 asks him as Katsuki finishes his drink.
"You went a little overboard today. I'm surprised Honda didn't kill you." Minion 2 ways in, making Katsuki cringe slightly thinking back to Yuudai in class when she'd stopped him.
"It's his fault for getting in my way. Dai wouldn't kill me." He replies and kicks the bottle in front of him filled with the Glob Monster, the cap comes loose spilling the Glob Monster free.
"Don't let it get to you." Minion 2 comments.
"He's an idiot dreaming like a kid!" Katsuki grumbles and lights up the can in a small explosion. "Just watching him pisses me off!" He throws the burnt can away.
"Then, why don't we go to the arcade for a change of pace? You'll come, too, right, Katsuki?" Minion 1 asks him.
"Yeah." Katsuki agrees, looking indifferent at the suggestion.
"Then let's go to the one in front of the station. There's lots of prey there." Minion 2 says making an okay sign with his long fingers.
"You're terrible." Minion 1 retorts, looking at his friend.
"What? If we get caught, it'll end up on my record, not to mention if Dai caught us we'd all be dead!" Katsuki scolds his friends angrily thinking of said girl and the pain they would inflict on the three of them, but the fear on their faces isn't from him or the mention of their school president but the Glob Monster behind him approaching them with bad intentions.
"Hey, look!" Minion 1 points out behind him, with Minion 2 pointing with his extended finger, Katsuki looks over his shoulder as the Glob Monster forms back together.
"An invisible cloak with a great Quirk!" Glob grins as he goes for Katsuki, who looks at it with wide eyes in shock and slight fear.
Chapter 2 - The Glob Monster Returns
With Izuku and the deflated All Might atop a building, Izuku lets out a shriek at the deflated pro-hero. "Y-y-you're deflating…!" Izuku stutters out in shock as he looks at the figure in front of him. "Wait, up until now… huh?! Fake? A fake?! You're so skinny!" He freaks out as he looks around questioning what he'd just seen.
"I am All Might…" He begins to say when blood spills out his mouth, freaking out Izuku more as he gives out a shriek at the sight in front of him.
"No way!" Izuku cries out with even more shock than before.
"You know how the guys at the pool are constantly flexing and posturing? It's like that." Skinny All Might explains his situation.
"No way…!" Izuku shrieks and goes white at the thought. "I-it can't be… All Might is fearless… he saves everyone with a smile… he's the greatest…" He shakes out, and skinny All Might gives out a sigh.
"A fearless smile, huh?" He questions and sits down at the railing. "Now that you've seen me like this, young man, make sure you don't write about it online, even accidentally." He warns him and lifts his baggy shirt to an old wound on his chest, Izuku looks at it in shock at his hero would sustain an injury so server. "It's an injury I got from an enemy's attack five years ago. Half of my respiratory organs were destroyed, and I lost my whole stomach. I've become emaciated from repeated surgeries and the aftereffects. Right now, I can only work as a hero for about three hours a day." He explains it and looks at the kid in front of him as he grimaces.
"That can't be… five years ago… was that when you fought Toxic Chainsaw?" Izuku asks him.
"You're well-informed. But a punk like that couldn't defeat me. This fight was not made public to the world. I asked for it not to be made public. I will save people with a smile! The Symbol of Peace cannot be daunted by evil. I smile to show the pressure of heroes and to trick the fear inside of me. Pros are always risking their lives. I cannot simply say, 'You can become a hero even without power.'" He tells him the reality of life which hits the young Quirkless teen breaking him up inside as the words replay in his mind.
"I see…" He mutters with wide eyes from the shock and lowers his head not wanting his hero to see him like this, skinny All Might stands up not fazed by the reaction from the young teen.
"If you want to help others, then you could also become a police officer. They're often teased because they get villains delivered to their doorstep, but that is also a fine occupation. It's not bad to dream. But you also have to consider what's realistic, young man." He says as he walks to the door of the building roof and leaves for Izuku to think over his words.
Chapter 2 - The Glob Monster Returns
In the stairwell, skinny All Might gives out a cough as he walks down the stairs. "Now, I need to quickly get this guy…" He mutters to himself and goes to grab the bottles from his trouser side pockets but they're empty, he pulls out the inside but still, there's nothing inside and looks around frantically. He looks out of the window to see smoke rising behind a tall building in the distance. "Don't tell me…"
Chapter 2 - The Glob Monster Returns
Back on the roof, Izuku hears the sound of the explosion and comes back to reality as he sees the smoke rising from behind the building. "A villain! What hero will go to the scene?" He exclaims with some excitement as he runs off to the door, but stops thinking back again to what All Might had said. He walks somberly with his head lower as he walks to the door.
Chapter 2 - The Glob Monster Returns
In the local library, not too far from the explosion, Yuudai picks up another book adding it to the three others for her sister and feels a slight tremor and the sound of a blast, she looks up from the book seeing people rushing out of the door to see what it's about. Yuudai sighs and picks up the books before walking to the checkout desk and puts the books into her bags and steps outside to the crowd of people looking inside the alleyway.
Chapter 2 - The Glob Monster Returns
Skinny All Might runs as fast as his body will able to the scene of the smoke, the view in the Shopping District is in chaos as people scream as the flames from the explosion flicker. The flames grow wild with people running from the mess behind them, the heroes come running in but stop short looking over the scene of destruction. The view in front of them is of the Glob Monster trying to take over Katsuki, who struggles in the villains hold but still can't break free. "A child was taken, hostage?!" Death Arms shouts and smashes his fists together before running towards them. "You coward!" He leaps into the air and lands by the Glob Monster giving him a powerful punch, but it does nothing as his fist gets sucked in. "What is this? I can't grab hold!" The villain lashes out at him, knocking him into one of the building, the other heroes step forward worried for their comrade.
"Death Arms! Crap!" They call out as the fire gets worse and the villain lashes out at them, but they dodge out of the way in time.
"Don't come near me!" It grins as it looks around and Katsuki breaks free slightly and lets out a shout from the force.
"I won't let sewage like this swallow me! You little -" Katsuki yells as he tries fighting against the Glob Monster and uses his Quirk to spark up explosions and fires off a large one as the heroes cover their faces from the heat.
"What power! I've hit the jackpot! With this Quirk and power, I can get revenge on that guy and little girl!" The Glob grins as he expands and the heroes watch on.
"Woah, what's that?! Could he be a big-shot villain?!" A man in the crowd asks.
"She's here! The rookie hero, Mt. Lady!" A woman exclaims as said hero runs down the street in her large form.
"W-wait… I need there to be at least two lanes!" She stutters trying to get her foot over but keeps hesitating as Kamari Wood grabs hold of Katsuki's minions (friends) and runs down with more civilians.
"I'm not good with explosions! I'll leave it to someone else today!" He says as he jumps away with the rescuees and Backdraft puts out the fires in the buildings.
"Thanks for that. I have my hands full fighting the fire. The fire trucks not here yet? How are things over there?" He asks, looking over at the other heroes as they watch over the villain.
"He's sticky and hard to grab, and a child with a strong Quirk is struggling against him." Death Arms replies.
"Thanks to that, it's a minefield. It's hard to do anything against this triple play!" He adds on and Katsuki being almost fully taken over lashes out at them and the heroes run off out of the way. "Crap!"
"It's no use! There's no one who can take care of this at the scene, right now! All we can do is wait for someone with a more suitable Quirk!" They report over the flames and chaos.
"Let's hold back the damage until then!" Backdraft shouts over as he continues to fight the fires.
"Don't worry; I'm sure someone will be here soon!" Kamair Wood shouts down as he lifts civilians onto a safe rooftop.
"Damn it!" Death Arms curses as he looks at the scene in front of him as Katsuki continues to fight back.
Skinny All Might finally make it to the scene of the chaos behind the growing crowd, and unknown to him so does Yuudai, she looks over the crowd with her short legs but only sees the smoke and fire. "Hey, doesn't it look kinda bad?"
"You can do it, heroes!" The crowd shout out as they watch the scene, Yuudai looks around trying to get a better look but still struggles.
Chapter 2 - The Glob Monster Returns
Izuku walks down the street nearby with his head in his notebook as he walks somberly with people passing him and thinks back to all the times' everyone put him down. He looks through his notebook as he remembers every word and closes the book looking at it and tries to fight back the tears that threaten to spill, he feels the tremor from one of the explosions and the sound which knocks him out of his thoughts and looks over to see smoke rising out from the shopping district. He walks over trying to get a better look and spies through the crowd of people the Glob Monster from before; he gasps in shock at the sight of the villain. "Izzy, what are you doing here?" He hears his childhood friend ask him as he turns to look over at her, she looks at him with worry and he points in the direction of the villain, she stands on the tip of her toes and gets a better look to see the same Glob Monster as before.
"...then it's my fault…" Izuku mutters, Yuudai looks at him and places a hand on his shoulder in some comfort as he seems more in shock.
"Why aren't the heroes doing anything?"
"They can't. Apparently, the villain caught a junior high schooler. It's been like that for a while." The news shocks Izuku even more as he thinks back to his encounter with the villain and how terrible it was and covers his mouth due to the shock. Yuudai looks over at her friend knowing what thoughts are going through his head and sighs before looking at the villain in the distance.
"Anyway, wasn't that villain the one All Might was chasing earlier?"
"All Might? No way! He's here?"
"I think I saw him earlier."
"Seriously?! Then what's All Might doing?!" He hears all of it as he stands watching from the back holding his injury and lowers his head in shame feeling that he can't help them. Izuku feels the guilt crushing him as he covers his mouth trying to stop himself as he keeps apologising in his head. Yuudai looks at her friend in worry then looks at the villain and sees ash blond hair she wound know anywhere and when the boy opens their eyes the eyes she can't help get lost in, and she then knew who was held hostage by that Glob Monster. It's Katsuki Bakugo her childhood friend and longtime crush. She feels electricity run through her nerves, and she races through the crowd with Izuku not far behind as they shock the crowd and heroes with their actions as they continue to run towards their friend.
"Idiots! Stop! Stop!" Death Arms shouts out to them, but they don't listen as they run towards the danger.
"That brat… that demon girl!" The Glob sneers as it watches them approach them.
"Deku… Dai…" Katsuki mutters weakly from the lack of oxygen as he gets sucked into the Glob Monster.
"Die in an explosion!" Glob shouts as he goes to hit them, Izuku throws his bag at the Glob with something from the bag hitting it in the eye, making it retract. It releases Katsuki's face, and he coughs from the lack of air, but the Glob tries taking back Katsuki, Yuudai stops in her tracks and pulls down her mask exposing her mouth as Izuku leaps forward.
"Kacchan!" He shouts as he tries grabbing hold of the Glob, but it just slips through his hand.
"Why are you here?!" Katsuki snaps at him looking down at him as Yuudai opens her mouth and the green gas escapes her mouth and floats towards the Glob's head, it comes into contact with it, and it shrieks in pain.
"My legs moved on their own!" Izuku yells back still trying to grab hold of the sludge, but it slips through his fingers as Yuudai breathes in again. "I don't know why, though!" He cries out as Yuudai breathes out more fog, she looks at her friends as they both struggle and she presses her hand onto her chest.
"Powers of FurFur!" She yells out, and antlers sprout out of the top of her head, and she holds out her hands towards the villain. Electrical sparks out of her palms then a ball of lightning forms in between her hands and she focuses the ball right at the sludge holding her friend and the ball of lightning strikes out at the villain hitting its head. The hit makes the Glob Monster scream out in pain letting more of Katsuki go as Izuku tries grabbing hold of him but the villain keeps his grip on him.
"Wow! She almost got him!" The crowd calls out as they continue to watch.
"You looked like you were asking for help…" Izuku adds with tears in his eyes which hit All Might hard, and Yuudai readies her next attack as the lightning collects between her hands.
"Stop it…!" Katsuki cries out as he gets taken over quicker as the villain wants out of there, All Might holds onto a post near him as his muscles expand into his other form.
"Just a little longer. Don't get in my way!" Glob yells out about hit Izuku.
"He'll die in vain! Is he suicidal?!" Death Arms shouts out as they try to get to the teens as the Glob uses Katsuki's Quirk to start an explosion, Yuudai covers Izuku waiting for the hit, but it never comes. The smoke clears and standing there is All Might.
"I really am pathetic." He says the teens look up to see him take the hit from the villain looking down at them as they look up at him in shock. "Even though I admonished you, I wasn't putting what I said into practice!" He breaks free of the sludge wrapped around his arm and gets ready to attack. "Pros are always risking their lives!" He shouts with blood spilling out of his mouth as he says this.
"All Might!" Glob shouts as he whips out his hand, but All MIght is just too quick.
"Detroit Smash!" He shouts out, and the wind pressure created by the punch blows away and creates a wind vortex blowing everything nearby, with the heroes holding onto things attached to the ground. The whirlwind finally disperses leaving a very tired All Might as he takes deep breaths, everyone stares at him when dark clouds roll in above, and rain falls upon them.
"Rain?"
"Don't tell me it's from the wind pressure just now?"
"An updraft developed and…" The crowd gush in shock as the watch on, All Might wipes the blood from his mouth and stands tall over the three unconscious teens lying on the ground.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey! With just his right fist, he changed the weather! That's amazing! That's All Might for ya!" The crowd break out into cheers as All Might keeps steady on his feet feeling weak from the overuse of power. He raises his right arm into the air, and they cheer louder.
Finally, the three teens wake from their little nap, and Yuudai sits next to Katsuki as the three of them get scolded by the heroes. "Jeez, there's a limit to how rash you can be! There was absolutely no reason for you to put yourself in danger!" Izuku gets scolded by Death Arms and Kamari Wood as Katsuki, and Yuudai gets praised.
"That was amazing toughness! That lightning blast! And those Quirks! Once you're a pro, please come to my agency! You'll definitely be an excellent sidekick!" He keeps on talking, but the teens weren't listening as Yuudai takes Katsuki's hand in hers as they look over at Izuku as he gets scolded.
Chapter 2 - The Glob Monster Returns
Katsuki and Yuudai get released from the reports and heroes as that happens one figure dressed in a smart suit walks over to All Might and starts scolding him slight shocking a few people. "Isn't that your Mum?" Katsuki asks Yuudai who nods her head in response, said woman turns around and races over to her daughter bringing her into a hug.
"When I was told what happened I was so worried about you, your Dad is still at the hospital and I have to sort all this out down here and well your sister is at a friends so you'll be home alone." She tells her daughter, and Katsuki looks at his friend and takes her hand.
"She can stay with me." He tells her, she looks at him and smiles nodding her head.
"Keep each other safe." She lets her daughter go and walks over to All Might and the other heroes.
"Your Mum is still scary in lawyer mode," Katsuki comments as they watch her.
"Tell me about it, and I never win an argument." Yuudai agrees and pulls him away from the scene after Izuku.
Chapter 2 - The Glob Monster Returns
Down the backstreets again the three teens walk on back to their homes, Yuudai and Katsuki see Izuku up ahead. "Deku!" Katsuki shouts out to him, which makes him stop and turn around as the two run over to him.
"Kacchan… Yuu…?" Izuku mumbles as the stop a few feet away breathing heavily.
"I never asked for your help! And you didn't help me! Got it?! I was fine with Dai's help. You're a Quirkless failure playing without a full deck! Don't think you can look down on me! Are you trying to make me owe you?! Don't look down on me! You damn nerd!" Katsuki rages as he lets it all off his chest and turns around marching angrily back the way he came.
"Sorry about that Izzy, Kat's just a little upset and in shock is all." Yuudai apologies for her friend and walks back down with Katsuki on their way to his home, leaving a confused and shocked Izuku standing in the path alone. He turns around with his head held down when suddenly All Might appears from an alleyway.
"I am here!" He announces loudly shocking Izuku.
"A-All Might?! Why are you here? You were surrounded by reporters and Yuu's Mum until now…" Izuku stutters out, looking around making All Might give out a laugh.
"Getting away from them was a piece of cake. And Mrs Honda let me leave. Why? Because I am All Might-" He boasts when his body poofs out and returns to the skinny fragile version of himself with blood spilling out of his mouth freaking out Izuku. He coughs out wiping away the blood from his chin as he looks at the teen in front of him. "Young man, I come with thanks, a corrections, and a suggestions. If you hadn't been there along with your friend… if you hadn't told me about your life… I would've turned into a guy in a bodysuit who was all talk… thank you." He thanks the teen but he doesn't seem to take it.
"That can't be… It's my fault in the first place. I got in the way of your work, and I said all those impertinent things even though I'm Quirkless…" Izuku replies his head low, thinking over what had happened.
"That's right. It was because it was none other than the timid, Quirkless you at the scene that I was able to act. Top heroes have stories about them from their school days. Most of their stories have one thing in common: their bodies moved before they had a chance to think." He tells Izuku who thinks back to what happened when he and Yuudai ran out of the crowd to save Katsuki, his eyes gleam and lower his head trying to fight back the tears more as he remembers his Mother's words. "That was true for you, too, wasn't it?"
"Yeah…" Izuku can't fight back the tears as he answers with tears streaming down his face as he hunches over as if in deep pain and falls to his knees in front of his hero.
"You can become a hero." He tells him, making him cry out.
Chapter 2 - The Glob Monster Returns
The two teens with Quirks made it back to Katsuki's home and are sitting in his room as Yuudai looks over the books she got for her sister. "Why did you try and save me?" Katsuki asks his female friend as he sits on his bed leaning against the headboard, she looks up putting the books back in her bag.
"Because you're my friend and my feet moved on their own before I could think up a plan." She replies and looks at him as she pulls out her hair letting it out in waves down her back. "I need my bombshell blond in my life." She turns around and gets up from the bed heading to the bathroom.
