(Chapter 6: I found a Munchkin)
It would be a rather stellar time for Izuku since joining the Endeavor Hero Agency, given that he had not only got to work alongside and further his friendship with Toga and Twice who served as a constant source of friendship and entertainment. But had progressed significantly in the mastery of his psychic might, with him not only growing better at his flight and martial training, but also thanks to Endeavor's guidance while working on his telekinesis; had explosively rose in mastery with his pyrokinesis gaining new ideas that had even inspired Endeavor to train harder.
(April 21st, 998. M41, Zenthon, Tokyo, Japan, 2:10 Pm)
It was a sunny afternoon as Izuku was being sent out on another field assignment in taking out a B-rank villain who had been causing havoc throughout downtown Tokyo for the past month and some change.
"If I could ask, Mr. Endeavor. Why am I being put on a time-limit to defeat the villain for today?" Izuku questioned as a timer for 30 minutes was on a digital bracer on his right arm
"Simple, Midoriya. Being a Pro-Hero means that you will have to be quick about defeating villains, and other criminal elements. We will not always have the luxury of having time on our side, which is why Heroes must be quick, decisive, and ready to make decisions on the fly to defeat our enemies and save as many lives as possible." Endeavor answered back over the com-link that Izuku wore
"Understood, I will take care of the target immediately." Were Izuku's response before he leaped forward like a human bullet
All the while the B-ranked villain known as Avirama Redder a.k.a Deathhawk was flying around destroying buildings and terrorizing civilians alike, in order to draw out worthy opponents to battle against; especially Endeavor or any of his caliber as he shredded buildings with his talons, blew them apart with his feathers that were fired off like propelled rockets. The massive hawk-man continuing his destruction riddeled search for a strong opponent as civilians were caught and bloodied, battered, or impaled by his feathers and inhuman strength, as debris, carnage came in waves.
However, it was when he was met with a Colorado Smash to the middle of his back that sent him plumeting to the ground below where he was barely able to stop himself from being indented into the ground that cratered from the impact as he felt the rush of his blood pumping furiously from his cracked ribs his wings jittering from the power behind the attack. Avirama then looked back over his shoulder to see Izuku floating above from where he kneed him his eyes burning with the intensity of a raging sun, as his fists cracked and arced with the immensity of the raw warp.
The 9-foot-tall red-feathered hawk ma let out a thunderous CAAAWWWW as he rose to his feet and dove upwards after Izuku who flew to meet him, taking a full-force punch to the face that bloodied his nose and cut open his upper lip; in order to deliver a Detroit Smash to his stomach. The massive hawk-man roaring in pain as his stomach was shredded and melted by the psychic energies, as he was sent hurtling across the skies of Tokyo with the green-haired Psyker in hot pursuit; flying towards him at incredible speeds..
Yet Deathhawk despite the painful stomach wound that bled and bubbled furiously from both the sheer concussive force and exposure to raw Warp energy, flew back to engage against Izuku in melee, his blood pumping furiously as the two would find themselves engaged in ferocious melee combat. The clashes having caused ferocious gusts up wind and shockwaves to erupt from them flying and striking at each other at such speeds that streetlamps and cars were nearly uprooted, and windows shattering as they did not stop for a single second in their furious clash.
The adversaries exchanging punches, elbows, and kicks against the other that to anyone else watching were naught more than blurs of green and red in the sky above, neither giving an inch as blows were exchanged, blocked, and parried against the other…At least until Izuku blasted him with a point-blank blast of fire that pierced through his chest like a bolter shell to the chest, leaving a small kiwi hole through his collarbone as he was met with another through his left shoulder and a 3rd going through his right thigh.
The wounds in his body staggered him long enough for Izuku to go in for a hard right cross to his wounded stomach that was blocked by his harder-than-steel wings, wherein the right one smacked him away and the left one firing a barrage of feathers at him like a shotgun blast. To which Izuku used a tendril made of warbling psychic energy to bat out of the way, causing them to shrivel up and melt on contact before sending another one made of raw Warp energy at his wings like an ethereal lance of bright green warbling power.
While Avirama was able to dodge out of the way, he was not able to do so completely as the tendril branched out to wrap around his legs, causing him to screech in pain as he felt muscles and nerve endings melt like pudding having a large white-hot steel ball dropped into it; before he was reeled towards Izuku with great force. Which Izuku met by slamming himself into Deathhawks' skull with such force that it cracked apart the upper right potion so much that blood gushed out of his skull from a now broken orbital, as the massive avian-like villain stood battered but grinning like a madman.
"Yes! This is the fight that I have been looking for; finally someone who can make my blood pump and rush with the excitement combat! Truly this is a glorious day indeed!" Deathhawk roared as he engaged Izuku once more in ferocious melee
"And it will end with your defeat in a locked iron cell." Was Izuku's response as met an elbow to his jaw with a hard bone cracking left hook to his right arm
From there Izuku continued to battle against the larger villain who as the battle went on began to adapt to and counter his highly aggressive style of fighting, having kept him in close range so that he could deliver blows directed at his joints covered in psychic fire that would burn and melt his plumage covered flesh, and break bones like a battering ram going at the speed of sound. The attacks that Deathhawk met all too happily as was happy to have someone trade with him in close-quarters even if it meant tanking or narrowly avoiding the punches that broke his bones and burned into his flesh like fiery rockets.
Wherein Izuku was able to quickly and surgically pick apart his opposition's offense and defense, and in doing so, so as too keep him occupied and the prevention of him attacking the fleeing civilians below, Izuku quickly grabbed onto his beak after catching a taloned strike to his midsection that was intent on flying it open; to violently electrocute the larger man. Avirama was forced to screech in pain as so much psychic lightning was pumped into his being that you could see his skeleton outlined through his flesh, as Izuku continued to discharge the electrical assault for nearly half a minute before stopping as Avirama was soon rendered sputtering and seizing from being pumped full of lightning.
Wherein Izuku quickly dashed around and behind his opposition to deliver a vicious Detroit Smash to his winged back, the blow not only crushing his shoulder blades that crunched and cracked like a package of Ritz crackers being slammed on by a 80 pound sledgehammer, but also due to the fact that the raw Warp energies covering his fist expanded outwards to further shred and mutilate his wings. With Deathhawk being sent plummeting into the streets below hard enough to cause a 15-foot-deep crater, with the larger avian villain being unable to move or much more so fly due to his wings while intact looking as though they had been dunked in battery acid and ran through an industrial-grade meat grinder.
All the while Izuku quickly landed downwards with a brutal axe kick that widened the craters depth another several feet; that quickly knocked Avirama unconscious from the back of his skull nearly being cracked open like a hardboiled egg. The young Psyker looking at his timer while content was also disappointed that he took 5 minutes 25 seconds to defeat the villain, as such after the police began to arrive would Izuku fly away from the scene.
"I have to get better, I have to…there should be no excuses why I shouldn't be able to defeat a villain quicker. If I cannot defeat villains as quickly and efficiently as possible then becoming a hero will mean nothing! And I will be less than nothing if I cannot do something that simple!" Were Izuku's words to himself as he clinched his fists hard enough for them to pop audibly enough to sound like bolter fire
"No matter what it takes, I will be a powerful hero that can save everyone." Izuku swore to himself as his eyes burned so brightly they looked more like miniature suns than the emerald orbs they normally were
(6 days later, April 27th, 998. M41, Tokyo, Japan, 6:18 Pm)
Meanwhile, in the following days to come, Izuku was at the housing unit that he shared with his two friends; making dinner for the night…at least until he saw Toga walking inside with a small child with silver hair, large red eyes, and small horn coming out of her head watching T.V.
"...Toga, why is there a small child here?!" Izuku called out to the often manic blonde
"Oh, this is Eri…I found her when I was coming home from a mission to infiltrate this Yakuza gang." Toga told a confused Izuku
"You're going to have to explain how you found a literal child and brought them to where we live?" Izuku asked once more still wondering why there was a small child
"In my defense, I took her for a good reason. Also, I made sure that they would think the present I left them was from a rival gang. So its' all good, I promise…They just may or may not have a few dead midgets stuffed where Eri was being kept." Toga told him as Izuku sighed
"Alright, also…the lengths you will go to, in order, to deal with your problems is rater terrifying." Izuku spoke knowing that Toga was nothing if not horrifyingly proficient
"You call it terrifying, but I call it super effective. Anyways, do you wanna hear why I brought Eri here or not?!...Also, in my second defense, look at her she's too adorable for me not too help her." Toga asked
"Very well, but it had better be a good reason." Izuku said while using his powers to psionically keep track of their still-cooking dinner
From there, Toga told him of how during her impersonating and 'taking care' of the various Yakuza gang members through a combination of her Quirk and framing their disappearances as rival gangs making power-plays against them; lead to her sneaking into find out about Eri. Whom she had found out was being abused by someone named Chie Hassakai to make 'special bullets' for the Yakuza, with her having attempted to ask Eri about what was going on, but due to her circumstances didn't want to share out of terror from said Chie Hassakai.
So with her conscience compelling her to get Eri out of there, she 'appropriated' the young girl in promising ehr that she wouldn't be hurt again, and would get to live with her where she could watch all the cartoons and be as happy as she wanted. Therefore, after sometime spent convincing her to come with her in promising that she and her friends with safeguard her, she was able to sneak her away in a duffle-bag after disguising herself as another Yakuza member going out on a 'delivery run' to one of their allies in Shibuya.
"Look, Izu. I had to do this. You should have seen what they had her living in, it was horrible…I had to do something about it, or they were going to do who knows what else to her. Especially, if they were going to hurt her again to make those 'special bullets' that she calls them…Every time I bring it up, she looks like someone is going to cut her open like a science project." Toga spoke her heart breaking for the small child in question
"I can't even be mad about it that you went out of your way to help that poor girl. But what are we going to do about taking care of her? I don't mind protecting her from criminals and possibly villains on the Yakuza payroll, that comes with being a Hero…or trying to be." Izuku replied being more than fine with protecting Eri from the Yakuza and this Chie Hassaki figure
"But my main concern is how we are going to take care of a little girl? None of us know exactly how to take care of one." Izuku further spoke in regards to his main concern overall
"We can figure that stuff out as we go…I know its going to be tough, but whatever we have to do to make sure that adorable little girl gets taken care of, will happen…no child should have to constantly live in fear of being hurt by others." Toga said her manic features softening when looking at the young girl giggling at watching the cartoons
"I can't argue with that, but we are going to need to be on our best when working with her. Not to mention, that we're all going to need to take shifts watching her, while we're at the Agency…It will only be a matter of time before the Yakuza you stole her from, figure out something is up. When that happens, then all hands are going to have to be on deck." Izuku replied but knowing full well that they were going to need to be absolutely on top of it
"I know, and I am more than willing to do that on my off days. Plus, I can talk with Twice and have him on board, to help watch her as well. Trust me, we will have this figured out in no time." Toga assured the green-haired Psyker
"Alright…On a side note its a good thing that I made extra. Having to feed a 4th while we're here is going to be crazy, especially when we don't know what her Quirk is." Izuku spoke
"We can cross that bridge when we get too it. What matters is that we make sure that little girl is taken care of, and that those Yakuza jerks don't come after her." Toga said whilst Eri continued watching cartoons in the living room
"And it also means that we are going to have to talk to Mr. Endeavor about her as well. He will want to hear about the fact that you 'adopted' a 7 maybe 8-year-old girl into our lives." Izuku told her
"Also, how did you even work your way into getting that close to here?" Izuku further asked
"Let's just say that before we met, I had to get good with my Quirk somehow and get money for Twice and I…It happens to help out a lot when you can sneak up on and impersonate gangsters for a living." Toga answered back in giving him the P.G version of things
"You know what, I am not going to question it any further than that. Especially, with how much I've gotten to know about you…you are a lot more dangerous than you let on." Izuku said to her knowing that their boss would want to know of this update
"Hey, making friends and solving problems is a lot more fun when you get to make people bleed. Besides, flattery will get you everywhere, Izuku." Toga said with a wide grin that belied how much of an efficient knife wielding death machine should could be
"Regardless, tell Eri that dinner will be ready soon. If she is going to be staying with us then I am not having her stay on an empty stomach" Izuku said to her as she cheered before running over to the young girl
'Well, my life has now become significantly more complicated.' Were the green-haired Psyker's thoughts as he returned to cooking dinner
(3 days later, Endeavor Hero Agency, Tokyo, Japan, 11:10 Am, April 30th, 998. M41)
It would be the following Sunday later as Izuku in deciding to get this done and over with as soon as possible, decided to inform Endeavor of his new houseguest in Eri and how she came to be from Toga's infiltration of the Yakuza gang in question after the Flame Hero returned from a conference concerning the top 10 heroes of the country.
"And that is everything as far as Toga has informed me. I don't know what this means, but I do know that it calls to be attended too as quickly as possible. The fact that a Yakuza organization are using a child to make special bullets, is nothing but concerning." Izuku said to the Flame Hero
"I will agree on this subject, Midoriya. If they are using this young girl to make some form of munitions, whatever they may be. Then it calls for immediate looking into, as this sounds far too sinister to be something small scale." Endeavor said back as a Yakuza gang using a child to create specialized ammunition wasn't anything to take lightly
"That is why, with your permission. I would like to help deal with and is possible terminate them, before whatever they used Eri for is distributed into the streets. I do not know what the effects of these bullets may be, but what I do know is that nothing good can come out of them." Izuku spoke
"And are you sure that you are ready to handle something such as this? Fighting against random although skilled villains and training is one thing, but going against an entire criminal organization is another." Endeavor questioned the resolute green-haired Psyker
"If I want to truly maximize my capabilities for potential and power, while I am interning under you. Then I have to take every opportunity regardless of the danger in order to do so…If that means putting myself in danger to defeat a crime syndicate, especially when they are using an innocent child to create weapons." Izuku answered back
"Furthermore, in order to be the best hero possible I cannot let potential evil and injustice go unanswered. Your hero career in your early days speaks volumes of how you constantly took the fight to crime syndicates and elite villains alike, Mr. Endeavor." Izuku further spoke getting the attention of the Flame Hero from his words
"And what would you know of my early days, Midoriya?" Endeavor asked once again with a raised brow
"Only that you were one of the fiercest up and coming pro-heroes at the time. I know that your brand of aggressive and relentless style of heroics, did not make you as commercially viable as All-Might. However, since I am always one to do their homework on Pro-Heroes, I saw that you were despite all that someone who took the harder missions and fought against some of the most dangerous villains around…Honestly, you are underrated for having stopped so many villain teams that would have taken out a lot of prefectures in the country. The Shibuya incident especially spoke volumes of your handling a city-wide apocalypse by yourself." Izuku replied much to Endeavor's surprise at the mention of said incident that was recorded as one of the most violent days in Pro-Hero history
"Not many people talk about that particular incident…For good reason as well, it was one that had pushed me to my limits during my earlier days. It was known as the month of Bleeding Nightmares for a reason Midoriya. The things that I fought against were the stuff of nightmares, and even now after almost 20 years I can still hear screaming and things that should not be having ripped their way into reality to terrorize innocents." Endeavor said back still remembering having to fight against red-skinned demons and people who were possessed in a murderous rage screaming of worship for some sort of blood god and his skull throne
"I understand, and yet it is something that should be remembered and talked of more often. You did what very few heroes would have the stomach to do, Mr. Endeavor. I know that you both saved a lot of lives, and did a lot of things that most wouldn't approve of to evacuate Shibuya during that week. I also know that you had to burn and go against a lot of people who were roped into something that they didn't deserve to be made part of." Izuku spoke knowing that Endeavor had to do a lot of things both horrible and yet courageous in order to save as many innocent lives possible and defeat the horrors in that weeks-long nightmare
"But I also understand that it is part of what has made you a great hero. The willingness and raw strength of will to push forward and do what is needed to save as many lives as possible. It is something I have grown to respect the more I hae learned about you, and it is because of these actions you chose to take when you did not have to. That inspire me to train as hard as possible, and is a contributing factor to why I am more than ready to do what is needed to combat these monsters." Izuku further spoke in having grown to further respect Endeavor's grim determination
"I will admit you certainly know your history, Midoriya. Not to mention that I do find it commendable that you are so willing to go against a crime syndicate this potentially dangerous. Especially with so little training to reinforce your Quirk; even if it is a powerful one at that." Endeavor replied finding some measure of respect for Izuku's willingness to put himself out there
"I have been unofficially fighting against villains and criminals in order to both strengthen what I can do; and to protect others from danger. Going against these monsters who would weaponize a little girl, is just the next step going forward in what I would already have to do, nothing more than that." Izuku said back seeing this as nothing more than an objective to complete
"Very well, Midoriya.I will allow you to undertake the task of dismantling this Yakuza organization. However, this is also under the condition that you and Toga both report to me on any and all findings that the two of you make regarding this operation." Endeavor told the green-haired Psyker
"Understood, Mr. Endeavor. Anything else that I should keep you aware of in tandem with Toga and I's dealings with this organization?" Izuku questioned the Flame Hero
"Yes, I want to make sure that any of these special bullets that have been manufactured so far. Are either destroyed outright, or brought to me personally so that i can have it figured out what they are…I want to know what these munitions are being made for and the level of danger they can present not just to the general populace but to any Pro-Heroes as well." Endeavor answered back
"In addition, I want this Eri girl to attend regular check-ins'. Both for her physical wellbeing and to see what her Quirk exactly is. If they were using her to make specialized bullets, then finding out what her Quirk is and the mechanics therein are of utmost importance." Endeavor further spoke regarding Eri
"Understood, I will make sure that either myself, Toga, or Mr. Twice have her attend these check-ins. I only ask that nothing invasive be done to her, she is a child who from what little I have seen has suffered more than anyone should at her age." Izuku replied before making his request to make sure that nothing too extreme was done to her
"You have my word, Midoriya. I will make sure that she receives proper treatment and that nothing harmful is done too her." Endeavor swore to the Green-haired Psyker
"Thank you, Mr. Endeavor. I appreciate this." Izuku said to the Flame Hero
"Of course, and that being said, you are also to deal with those involved in this scheme as you see fit. This will be your first assignment as an unofficial sidekick, and your first true experience to see what the real world of being a Pro-Hero is like. As such I am giving you full responsibility in handling this as you see fit." Endeavor told him his voice full of warning for both the positive and negatives of what would lay ahead
"I will make sure that this is handled as quickly as possible. Their punishment for doing whatever has been done to her, and what they intend to do going forward will be handled as effectively as possible. Therefore, I will apprehend them if possible and deal with them as efficiently as possible should they prove too troublesome to allow the police to be handled." Izuku promised the Flame Hero
"See to it that you do, and one last thing to ask you before you go, Midoriya." Endeavor said to the young Psyker
"What is it that you wanted to ask me about sir?" Izuku responded
"What I would like to know is why you are willing to go to such lengths for this child? I understand that you want to do so to be a hero, yet I have the suspicion that there is more to this than simply wanting to help someone in need." Endeavor questioned as Izuku's features hardened
"The secondary reason behind why I want to do this for Eri and take down the Shie Hassakai. It is because when I had went to ask her more about what had happened, I had made physical contact with her and in doing so had manifested a new potential branch to my Quirk. One that allowed me to see that the path that I need to take is by stopping these monsters in their tracks." Izuku spoke as Endeavor leaned in closer with his attention solely focused on Izuku
"As it turns out I was able to read her mind and memories through physical contact. It was unintentional, when I did so to see more of what they had done to make her so scared. What I did find was horrific to say the least, the fact that anyone could go through with doing that to a little girl sickened me to my stomach." Izuku further spoke
"What exactly did you see in her memories, Midoriya?" Endeavor asked
"What I saw was how they were making these bullets. The beak-faced man that Eri has mentioned during her stay with us, would use his Quirk to dissasemble her as though she were a set of building blocks and take from her the power of her Quirk and her literal physical being to make them...D-Do you know how sickening that is, sir? The fact that someone would tear a little girl apart bit by bit to make weapons and then put her back together and shove her in a cold stone room; just to do it all over again the next day. That is a level of horror that almost made me sick on the spot after witnessing her go through that for years now, with no one to stop it until Toga came to take her away from that horrible place." Izuku answered back with a combination of wrath, revulsion, and disgust in his voice
"That is why I want to do this, Mr. Endeavor. I want to do this so that not only do those bullets get destroyed for good. I want to do it so that that monster who did this to her and all of his cohorts, can never be allowed on the streets again. If they are willing to let a madman tear a child apart to make weapons of destruction against good people, then they have to go for good. All of them have to go, people like that should not be allowed on the streets and their leader...their leader cannot be allowed to see another day." Izuku spoke with a passionate disgust and wrath towards Overhaul for doing what he did to Eri to make his 'special bullets'
"I will say this right now, Midoriya. The second reason behind why you want to do, what you wish is commendable. In fact, I do not blame you for wanting them dead for their crimes, and what their leader has done to this young girl you and your friends have taken in." Endeavor replied
"So you're not against me going forward to eliminate the entirety of Shie Hassakai?" Izuku questioned
"No, I am not. Take it from someone who has had to face his own fair share of nightmares as well as having worked alongside vigilantes in the past. That sometimes to be a hero, you have to make the hard choice instead of the heart choice...Taking a life or many lives in your case is one of the hard choices to make to save an innocent life. I myself during many of the incidents I have had to counter; have done the exact same thing off the books during my younger years." Endeavor answered back
"You've killed before?" Was the Psyker's only response
"Yes I have...It is not something I have gone out of my way to do. However, when it came to incidents such as what had happened in Shibuya; all those years ago. Your hands become tied and you have to do horrible, horrible things, in order, to protect the innocent. Trust me when I say that even now after having to do what I've had to off the books; that it never got any easier. Even though I had to do it to save tens if not hundreds of thousands of lives in Shibuya during those weeks, did it not make the staggering amount of lives taken any easier to do." Endeavor said back his voice heavy with the guilt in knowing that he had done a lot of things in his hero career he was not proud of
"So when you do what you have to during all of this, Midoriya. Understand that you are going to be permanently changed after everything is said and done. Taking lives is not something that you do easily and come out the same person afterward. That is why, once you have finished handling the elimination of the Shie Hassakai per your discretion; that you are to take a set personal time off from working here...Believe me when I say that you will need it." Endeavor further spoke
"Of course, sir." Were the green-haired Psyker's response
"Good, now then is there anything else that you want to share with me?" Endeavor said back
"No, I believe that is everything that I have to say on the matter, Mr. Endeavor." Izuku told the Flame Hero
"Very well then, you are dismissed for the day, and I wish you the best for what is to come. You are going to need it and far more, if you expect to come out of this intact." Endeavor said to the young man knowing that it wasn't about coming out physically but mentally and emotionally intact
"Understood, sir…For what it is worth, thank you for taking a chance on me. I promise to live up to your standards and make this internship, something you will not regret." Izuku replied in thanks to the Flame Hero for having done just that
"As I have said before, it would have been a waste to allow someone of your potential and power to go unattended. There is nothing more than that." Endeavor told the young Psyker who nodded
"And one final thing before you go, Midoriya. Pray that you never have your own Shibuya incident, there are things in the Pro-Hero business that test us all…That event in particular is one that I hope you never find yourself in a similar situation to…Take it from personal experience that this job leaves more scars than any of us would like." Endeavor further spoke his mind often replaying those 8 unending days of pure horror and carnage that haunted him still
"...If that ever happens, I will be ready to face whatever may come." Were Izuku's words before he departed for training
Yet as Endeavor was left to his lonesome his mind couldn't help but replay those events nearly 20 years prior, the smell of flesh being cooked by his own hands, having to punch through red-skinned monsters with twisted horns wielding brutal weapons that were of infernal nightmares, alongside villains and twisted civilians alike. All who alongside a handful of warriors clad in blood red, brass, and bronze wielding weapons that were the bastard offsprings of a bearded axe and chainsaw, that pushed him to his limits and tenfold beyond to protect and save the innocent would forever live in the most damnable parts of his mind.
Especially, when he would sleep and he would hear the warcries of villains, possessed and blood-hungry civillians, on top of those demons and 8-foot-tall monsters in warped armor, scream and rage in the ultraviolet worship of whatever they called their god that sat upon its skull throne. That week…that dreaded, horrible blood-soaked week was an additional factor in why he trained Shoto as hard as he did, for he knew that such horrors were still out there and that the world would need someone stronger than him or All-Might to face them.
'Midoriya, you had better pray to god that you never have to experience what I had to endure in my younger years. There are some things I wish I could forget, but no…I am damned to remember the red, the bronze, and the brass of those monsters during those ungodly 48 days of hell.' Were the silent thoughts of a dreading Endeavor who sat in silence in hating a good portion of his memories from those days
(6 hours later, 4:40 Pm, Imperium Space)
Meanwhile, one Lilith Hesperax was continuing her search for the green-haired Psyker which was vexing as ever due to their being little if any in the way of leads psychic other otherwise, as she sailed through the stars in her ship.
"I am telling you now, Yvraine. Wherever this Psyker is, he is very well hidden. So far my search has yielded nothing in the way of positive results." Lilith Hesperax informed the white-haired Eldar
"We have been unable to narrow his location on our end either. The psychic strength of what he possesses is enough to shield him from our efforts thus far…I would commend him for his raw talent and strength; if things were not as dire as they currently are." Yvraine replied in being unable to locate Izuku's home planet as well
"It does little to lighten my mood. However, will ask this question and this one alone, Ynnari." Lilith said back as she set her ship to auto-pilot
"Speak freely, Hesperax. There is no animosity to be shared between us." Yvraine spoke
"Even if you somehow manage to convince this boy to join your cause. To have him agree to fight against She Who Thirsts and resurrect the God of the Dead, to end the bane of the Eldar's existence. How exactly do you plan to keep him from the claws of the Imperium?...Once word gets out that a Psyker of such raw talent that it has the possibility of equalling their Carrion Emperor gets out, it will only be a matter of time before they hunt him." The Drukhari assassin queried
"I have not gotten to that point yet. To be honest, I am still figuring out how to do so; alongside how we will convince him of what needs to be done.' Yvraine spoke
"What is to be done in order to gain freedom from Slaanesh, is a delicate matter all together. As such every step we make must be handled carefully, precisely, and most of all cautiously. If we make one misstep in our plans both regarding this Psyker and to revive our people's death god. Then we risk creating a setback in our plans that will put us behind for years if not decades at best." Yvraine further spoke knowing that all future plans for the Ynnari had to be taken with as much care and caution as possible
"And even disregarding the Imperium as a threat to our plans. There is the matter of the Emperor's Children and their Primarch, who is a slave to She who Thirsts…How long do you think it will be, before the Prnce of Pleasure dispatches her debacherous hordes to capture and corrupt your hope for your cause? Even I know that the clock is ever ticking before all sides close in on this boy." Lilith Hesperax questioned regarding the Chaos Astartes of the Eldar's bane
"I cannot say for certain, perhaps a few months, maybe a year or two if we are extremely lucky. However, I know that they will come nonetheless, and when they do we will be ready to face them. We cannot allow for a Legion of excess and monstrous pursuits of indulgence to lay claim to him no matter the cost. Otherwise, catastrophe and mayhem will follow in ways that may rival the Heresy itself." Yvraine answered back but nonetheless resolved to protect what may be the key to he peoples' freedom
"While this is a bold claim to make, from someone who has lived since the Heresy. I cannot dispute the possibility of such things as well. Not when the risks of what is to be done are as high as they have ever been when it comes to finally have a winning chance of beating the Prince of Pleasure." Lilith Hesperax spoke
"Agreed, and that being said Hexperax. I will wish the best in your continued endeavors, and more than that my appreciation and thanks for your agreement to undertake this task." Yvraine replied in thanks to the infamous assassin
"Think nothing of it, Yvraine. This task will ensure that for once our people will have a method to finally defeat Slaanesh, or at the very least cripple their chances at taking the souls of our people as soon as they have died…I grow tired of allowing this thing to be the boogeyman of our people for countless millenia." The Drukhari assassin spoke despising how her people had to live in the looming shadow of fear that Slaanesh had cast over them for endless centuries
"As have we all, Hesperax. Nonetheless, I wish you the utmost in regards to finding this Psyker. May Ynnead grant you favor in finding him." Yvraine said to the infamous assassin
"While I do not need such things, they are appreciated all the same." Lilith Hesperax replied before ending the transmission
'Now then, where in the greater galaxy could you be hiding?' Lilith Hesperax wondered as she continued her search
Meanwhile, back on Zenthon later onto the evening was Toga getting Eri ready for bed; said young girl was overjoyed given that she didn't have to stay in the cold room all day, or have to be with 'the scary man with the bird mask' as she called him. With her being dressed in All-Might pajamas, her hair braided, and drinking a juice box while she watched Power Rangers, a smile wide as could be was across her face as she felt the happiest she could ever be with Miss. Toga as she'd taken to calling her.
"There you go, now your all ready for bed. What do you think, Eri!?" Toga spoke as she finished putting the young girls' hair into twin fishtail braids
"I look like a princess, thank you Miss. Toga!" Eri beamed at the manic blonde
"You're welcome, besides you are a wonderful little girl. It is the least I can do for you, especially since I'm your friend!" Toga told the small girl
"You really want to be my…friend?" Eri said almost hesitantly as Toga smiled even wider at her
"I don't see why I wouldn't want to, Eri. You are just so adorable, and cute and a total sweetheart; how could I not want to be friends with you!" Toga replied happy to be friends with just about nearly anyone
"I have never had a friend before, and no one else treats me as nice as you do, or Mr Twice, or Mr. Izuku…All I had were the mean beak-faced man, who did bad things to me." Eri replied as on instinct she gripped harder onto her juice box in a brief moment of terror at remembering the haunting presence of Chie Hassakai
"Well, he's gone now, and as long as I'm around and Izu and Twice are around. He is never going to do bad things to you ever again, Eri." Toga said to the young girl
"Do you really mean it?" Eri asked her large red eyes looking up at her for confirmation
"I mean it with my whole heart, Eri. As long as we're around,that mean beak-faced man won't ever hurt you again. If he does anything to you, or tries to take you away we'll make him go away." Toga promised which earned her a massive hug from the small girl
"Thank you, Miss Toga, your the best." Eri said hugging her as hard as possible
"I appreciate it, now then stay right here and I will be right back with cookies." Toga told the small girl
"Yay!" Was Eri's elated response as Toga soon made her way to the kitchen where Twice was grabbing a late-night snack
"Oh hey, Toga, How's the little munchkin doing? I've been wanting to take her measurements so I can make her some new clothes. Those rags you found her in were fucking disgusting." Twice asked grabbing himself some brownies out of their fridge
"She's doing ok. I'm just getting her some cookies before she goes to bed…You would have thought this place is Heaven to her, with what they put her through." Toga answered back as she grabbed peanut butter and chocolate cookies from the fridge
"I don't know what they were doing to her, but they are gonna pay for it in their teeth by the time I'm done." Toga further spoke in hate of whatever they had done to her
"You know that if need anything, I'm always ready to help out? I know I'm still a giant mess walking around in the shape of a guy. But I am still ready to help you out when I can." Twice told her
"I know, and I appreciate it, but I can take it from here. You already did enough making sure we were safe when we were running around in Esuha. Let me make sure we're safe this time…ok?" Toga said putting a comforting hand on Twice's face and a reassuring smile on her face
"Ohhhh, ok, but only because I like you so damn much!" Twice replied just happy to have his blonde friend around
"Good, now get some rest. You have a big day tomorrow." Toga told him
"Oh yeah, you're right. My dumbass has to get to work on new costume designs for everyone at the agency. I can't have everyone going around looking like bums!" Twice said to himself as he went up the stairs with brownies in hand
'This place might be weird, but at least I have these wonderful people with me as my friends…Now all Izu and I have to do is get rid of those mean people who hurt Eri, and everything will be great!' Were Toga's thoughts as she headed up the stairs to join Eri for another hour or so before bedtime
And so with a new housemate joining the fray in the form of little Eri, we see Izuku's continuing to intern under Endeavor's influence continuing to not only shape his ideals toward heroism, but inspire him to take charge against those who held Eri captive to make these 'special bullets' created from her. So how will things proceed from the young Psyker who endeavors to take the fight to the Yakuza that once held Eri prisoner, among other forces soon at play? Well, stay tuned and find out in the all new chapters of, My Pysker Academia!
Alright, everyone that takes care of that as I hoped that you enjoyed everything that happened in this story, since surprise to everyone we will be starting the Overhaul arc ahead of schedule; so I hope you guys are strapped in for the shenanigans that come out of this. Furthermore, I want to thank everyone for their support so far as it means a lot given how this is both my 1st MHA and Warhammer story, and I am excited to see where this can all lead too. Also, I am dropping a DXD story later this week that I need to put the finishing touches on where Issei and his friends are going to be leading a 40K style Crusade against Kokabiel and possibly Grigori if anyone is interested in that
So without much more to get into, this is Nomadic Chaos 888 using the powers of said Chaos and the support of my patron (Blood for the Blood God, and Skulls for his Glorious Throne) to give you good stuff to read. Wherein next chapter we start getting into the Overhaul arc and the events that come of it, so stay tuned for all of that good stuff.

Now then onto the reviews of the last chapter.
Kourtney Uzu Yato: Glad you liked the 40K section and as for Izuku enjoying his new powers, well he's gonna have to put 'em to the test soon enough with what's coming up. Also, with Toga and Twice having pretty decent jobs in the Endeavor Agency they are effectively taken off the board as villains more or less, also I'm glad you liked Mineta's also wanting to use his Hero career to springboard into being a comic-book artist, since I figured it would be a nice little boost to his character overall and something that will come into play throughout the story. Also, with Endeavor putting Izuku to the task of making sure that Shoto lives up to his full potential one way or the other, suffice it to say that Izuku is gonna ride Shoto's ass about it like a motherfucker, because it is moreso that he's not really gonna let up on Shoto until he 'flies straight' in his opinion because as someone who was once Quirkless now having powers and being appreciative of them; he's not really gonna let Shoto get away with half-assing it. Also let's just say that with what I have planned for who the villains and those coming closer to Izuku's world; that well All for One may or may not be involved with Chaos as who knows we may see him involved with a certain Daemon Primarch of Chaos Undivided down the line. Yeah, as Endeavor's dealing with servants of Khorne got to a point where the afformentioned Shibuya incident happened where he had to fight against them for 48 days. Also for their being Chaos Cultists in the Hero Committee, why do you think that things are the way they are with Chaos being able to get in so easily and yet not a single Grey Knight or Inquisitor has popped up beforehand? Also, Izuku may have a run in with a Corpse Grinder Cult sooner or later because let's just say that there are some Quirks that I can come up with that will not only play into that, but also have what I like to call 'Quirk Zombies' be a thing.
Skull Flame: Yeah the Fabulous Hawk-Boy supreme will soon be back in action and once he does get back in it, then while he's more than down to get to work...he's going to have to deal with a lot of catching up to do...the poor man when he has to find out about the Inquisition, the Sisters of Battle and especially the Age of Apostasy. Yeah to put it simply Endeavor has been dealing with Chaos bullshit for over 20 years so he's been harsh on everyone not because he wants to, but because he has too given that when you face the forces of Khorne, Slaanesh, and Tzeentch for over 2 decades your gonna turn into a hardass too make sure your family stays alive as possible. Now as for Dabi, well let's just say that it may have backfired to the point that one of the Ruinous Powers may have gotten ahold of him as a potential Chaos Champion.
Volcasarion and Darth Kyuubi Kurama: Glad that you guys liked the chapter and hope you'll stick around for more.
