Chapter 36: The Weight Of Revelation.
Izuku sat there in silence, the Omnitrix feeling tighter around his wrist's heart was beating faster, and he began shaking, it wasn't just the fact that he had to now essentially protect his entire world.
"All Might, why tell me this now? From what you speak of this guy, you guys don't think I'm ready. Heck, even in the Sports Festival and the Nomu, I barely won. I-I know I'm not ready. You know I'm ready so why tell me this now?"
All Might close his eyes."No. It's not because you are ready, there are a couple of reasons why we told you and the classes. First off, the U.S.J, your father's old enemies, nearly killed your class. Despite your recovery, they have had questions, but we have informed them that you had no idea, which is true."
Izuku nodded, and it made sense, All Might himself has more than enough enemies, the public doesn't even know his real name, and Pro heroes who have the real name publicised have reported more than enough villain attacks.
He looked at the Omnitrix not only was he the greatest plumber son and had the most powerful device, but he didn't know why, but at this moment he realized how much of a target he was.
"... But at the recent Sports Festival, every alien on Earth knows the greatest Plumber in the Galaxy, has a son, and you don't become the greatest hero without making a few enemies, and he wields the Omnitrix Alien the most powerful device in the universe. Every alien on Earth will be coming out of the woodwork and will use any underhanded tactics to get to you and the Omnitrix."
"Including kidnapping and attacking my classmates... so you told them before our internships so they wouldn't get blindsided by some alien looking for the Omnitrix, or me, or looking seeking revenge on my dad," Izuku said as he put his hands in his palms, realizing how much danger he put his entire class A and B in.
"We don't want to create distrust between you and your classmates," Nezu said.
"They would only accept so many lies before the trust in you falters."
"The last reason is the most important. The Omnitrix sends out a signal every time you transform. This allows people to track you down wherever in the universe. Tetrax has somewhat rigged it, so when you transform, it's redirected to wherever he is."
"T-That's good."
"Yes. But it won't last long. Eventually, Vilgax will realize that he's chasing the wrong signal. And he will make his way to Earth." Nezu said.
"So... How long do we have."
"6 months, at best, and if we have luck on our side. But in all honesty, we have around 3." Nezu said, dropping his tea.
Izuku gulped, "So, the most dangerous being in the universe, who is arguably more powerful than All Might..."
Toshinori felt flattered that he was compared to him in power. He knew how strong Vilgax was, and right now, in his current state, hell, even in his prime, the guy was a monster. Now, it wasn't an argument.
"...Is coming to Earth, and I need to be stronger than All Might within 3 or 6 months, and if I'm not he will kill me and kill everyone I care about, mom, Ochako, Momo, Itsuka..." All Might would've teased him, but the boy was clearly distraught.
Izuku took a deep breath. He shook as a determined, teary expression crossed his face."I'll do it! I'll beat him!! That's my promise!"
"J-Just, there aren't any more secrets you're keeping right?"
"No of cours--"
Nezu put down his cup of tea, cutting All Might off."Now you know what the dangers lie ahead you probably need time to process."
Izuku looked down. Gave a heavy, tired sigh. "Y-Yeah."
Izuku with his head down, stepped out of the office, he's bangs covering his eyes, he didn't what was worse, but from All Might's tone, he didn't think he could beat Vilgax, he's never heard All Might, speak of someone with... Fear.
"Even when he spoke of All For One, he was sure he could protect everyone. Till I was ready to face him myself but with... Vilgax.." He clenched his fist in anger.
He looked at his bandaged hands, "I-I still need to heal because I went over my limit because I have been wasting my time -" Izuku then remembered his Date with Momo... The whole day was amazing, he had never been so happy, he even did something he would never expected for himself, he knew he had low self-esteem, and almost no confidence initiating a kiss with a girl was honestly a big step for him, in that moment he almost forgot about everything, he forgot he had to face All For One, the responsibility of everything around him, just vanished.
And what happened afterward...
Flashback...
Izuku and Momo walked outside, the whisperings of the guests didn't help, and the fact that Momo's father said something about being proud and damn them kids are going to be monsters.
As they walked well more accurately, Momo carried an unconscious Izuku as he had a blissful smile, including a blush, Momo was also blushing from embarrassment, her heart pounding and a tidal wave of emotions.
They sat on a bench with Izuku waking up from his unconscious state they locked eyes before they Izuku turned away. They couldn't look each other in the eyes and opted to turn away.
"W-Was it a dream?"
"..."
"O-Oh, okay." Izuku put his hands in his face, his head turning a deep scarlet. There was a moment of awkward of silence, which felt like an eternity. Izuku was waiting for Momo to call him disgusting, slap him so hard, and call him a creep.
Momo herself was waiting for him to say something when he initiated the kiss, sure she kissed him back but he still initiated, so it only made sense to say something, after a few minutes Momo realized she was talking to Izuku Midoriya the most powerful and insecure stuttering hero in training.
"Uhm... Izuku." Momo said, looking at her lap.
"Here it comes..."
"I-I... Why did you kiss me?"
"I... I don't know, I just..." His face turned red, he didn't what came over him, the only conclusion he made was that he liked her, but that didn't make sense he felt the same way he felt about Yui, Hagakure, and Ashido, he would even admit he had stronger feelings about Jirou, Itsuka and Ochako he knew them longer, he couldn't come to a logical conclusion on why he did that.
"Well, unless..." Izuku chuckled at the ludicrous thought, shaking his head.
"Why did you kiss me back?" He asked in return.
Her face turned red, "I'm not sure either... I-I think I need to process. I don't want to lead you on or say something."
In reality, she knew the reason, or well suspected, but she didn't want to admit to him."If I say I like him, he then says he likes me back, and..."She could only imagine how hurt her friends would be, as tears formed in her eyes. The lump in her throat, forcing not to say anything.
"T-Though I know one thing I like it,"
"I-I mean I have never initiated a kiss, so it was probably not the best, sorry, I hope it wasn't too bad," Izuku said with a chuckle, as the girl stared at him before chuckling and giggling.
"You dork," Momo said, wiping her tears.
"C'mon, the party isn't over!" She grabbed his hand, a small blush on his cheeks and hers as accompanied by the moonlight and the stars plus with that smile, Izuku thought Momo never looked more beautiful.
Momo thought the same about him. His emerald eyes shimmer through, the hearts beating.
Flashback over...
Izuku smiled. His eyes were still tired and bloodshot, but the memory gave him a warm feeling as he heard the beating of his chest. That wonderful and magical memory was replaced by today's events. Soon, he smiled and blushed, fell as the thought of Vilgax brought him back from his daydreaming as the weight of his responsibility came back like a train!
"Dekiru!" He heard Ochako's voice. He turned around and saw her running towards him.
"Oh, Uraraka..." Izuku answered.
"How are you doing?" She asked in concern.
He looked at her for a moment, contemplating what to say. He turned away, scratching his head. "I-I'm fine."
"O-Oh, J-just we heard about... You know, and we want you to know, you don't have to do this by yourself -"
"Ochako,"
"I know you're worried about me, but I'm fine, honestly," He said with a smile,
"The teachers didn't tell you so you can help me out. You just need to be careful. Sorry for lying."
"Dekiru..."
"You just need to worry about helping out your family, you know, giving them a good life and everything. Focus on your goals. " Izuku said as he walked past her.
"Yeah, but..."
"I'm fine, I mean, yeah, it's shock, but you don't need to worry about a thing. Don't worry about me. I'm fine, though knowing Dad was a plumber is still a shock... Oh, Kacchan is probably mad," Izuku said nonchalantly as Ochako tried to speak to him, to no avail. Before stopping.
"Dekiru... You're a terrible liar." She said, looking down.
Knowing both her best friends were going through something and didn't want to talk about it, as Izuku continued to walk.
...
Izuku was heading back with Ochako to their dorms.
"Everyone is worried about you," Ochako said, to which Izuku raised an eyebrow.
"I-I mean we heard about your uhm... Dad. So aliens?" Ochako tried to make conversation.
"You know, they had to show us footage of your alien like we saw some of Heatblasts species, and Four Arms oh and... uh, Stinkfly, too."
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah! Heatblasts actually live on a sun-like planet!" Ochako said excitedly, to which Izuku looked at her in shock and thought about it.
"T-That makes a lot of sense," Izuku said as the girl shook her head.
Izuku put his hand on the knob."It does explain a few things, I've been trying to control my flames so I wouldn't set everything around me ablaze, but I guess if the ground was constantly on fire I wouldn't need to do that."
Ochako smiled as they entered, and Izuku was expecting to be bombarded by questions. Instead, the place was empty.
"We figured that you didn't want an audience right now." Ochako said."You probably need to process this, but I kinda snuck out to check on you. I'm probably going to get in a lot of trouble with Mr. Aizawa." She said under her breath.
"Ochako. Thank you." He said genuinely.
Izuku walked up to his dorm room, opened the door, and plopped down on his bed. He was mentally exhausted as he closed his eyes and tried to get some sleep. The mental of stress from Ishida to S.A.C.T who threaten him to Bakugou culminating into one stressful night sleep, and with hi nightmare plus the truck load of responsibility it's safe to say Izuku did not have a good night's rest.
...
It was the next day...
Izuku woke up to the light of daylight shining through. He got up, stretched, and brushed his teeth before yawning. He looked at himself in the mirror. Anyone who saw him now could tell how exhausted he was, the mental stress.
Izuku took slow steps, and he opted to take the stairs instead of the elevator he wasn't in a rush of any sort after all.
Izuku walked down the stairs. He could, the conversation soon declining as he got closer.
"Morning," Izuku said with a soft smile. Almost everyone believed he was smiling, sighing in relief, as he smirked a little, trying to play off everything.
He could see Bakugou looking at him as the girls immediately glared at him. From what Izuku could tell, there was a mental conversation before Bakugou stopped glaring at Izuku.
"Tch." He said before aggressively eating.
"I'm glad he's okay," Kirishima whispered.
"Yeah, I thought it would be rampaging lunatic but he's one tough guy," Mineta said.
The girls almost had their hearts sink from as they could see he wasn't okay.
Izuku then bowed. "I'm sorry for lying to you all! And especially to class 1-A as your class rep, I shouldn't have lied to you! "
"It's alright."
"Yeah, none of us are mad at you."
"And I'm sorry I dragged you all into this! I understand if you never wanted to distance yourself from me!" Izuku shouted, to which everyone immediately protested.
"There's no way we're doing that!!" Kirishima and Tetsutetsu both yelled.
"You're our friend. You have saved our lives! And you're not the only one who's aiming to be heroes!"
"We won't leave your side," Tsuyu exclaimed.
"I'll beat you before that Squid Face even gets a chance!!" Bakugou shouted. To which Izuku got a confused look. He had never seen a picture of Vilgax. Heck, he didn't even know what he looked like.
"Squid face?" He asked no one in particular before sitting down.
"Nezu and Aizawa are gonna come by and say they have something so you could possibly beat him," Momo said, to which Izuku's eyes widened as he stood up.
"By the way, how was it your first transformation?" Setsuna asked. Izuku was a little confused as he turned to her.
"I mean, transforming must have been surprising, I mean, what was your mental process?"
"Ah, I'm on fire," Izuku said as everyone dropped to the ground comedically. As everyone quickly figured out who was the first transformation.
"Okay, your second thought?" Kaminari asked
"Someone help me. I'm on fire," Izuku said again to which made everyone drop again.
"Your third thought?"
"Oh, thank God there's an ocean."
"Fine, how did you feel when you first transformed?"Yui asked bluntly.
"Transforming to an entirely different species must have been, traumatic or at least of the sorts," Shoto said.
Izuku thought to himself."It... felt amazing, it's like I was me, but I wasn't... For the first time, I didn't feel... bad about myself," Izuku smiled he was flickering green as some life came back to him.
Kyouka glared at Bakugou, and she suspected that Izuku's lack of confidence in himself was because of him.
"There's no feeling like it. It felt like I was still me but also someone else." Todoroki, looking at his palm, smiled a little.
"...Except Ghostfreak he creeps me out."Izuku said, which everyone collectively nodded, Ghostfreak gave everyone a bad feeling.
"Anyways, I'm just happy they brought us in the loop."
"Yeah, at least there's no more secrets between us," Ochako said with a smile as Izuku, who was sipping a tea, stopped biting his lip.
"Y-Yeah, no more secrets," Izuku said.
Ochako thought that was the truth, like almost the rest of the classes. But a few thought he was lying. Like Momo, Kyouka, and Itsuka.
As the day continued, Izuku didn't talk much he seemed to be laser-focused on the task he was focused on, whether it was doing something as trivial as homework math.
For maybe the fifth time, Ochako's eyes trailed from the board over to Izuku on the other side of the room. He'd been quiet all day, but it wasn't surprising considering the circumstances.
It was now lunchtime...
Izuku left for the dorms he didn't seem like he wanted to hang around anyone as he was still processing. Ochako and the girls who harbored a crush on him sat at a table enjoying lunch.
" Dekiru didn't ask for any of this. He's a teenager like the rest of us. Why is it his responsibility to save the world? Wh-Why couldn't have been someone else? He has to bear the responsibility of everyone?" Ochako spat out it frustrated her to no end that her friend was essentially forced to face this.
Shoto while eating took a moment." I think if Midoriya had a choice in the matter, he would have taken it. "
" I may not know him as well as the rest of you, but from the short time I've known he's someone who would help anyone in need, even in the sports festival, he got hurt but he still walked up to that arena just to help someone. Who no less than an hour ago challenged him. I've been hostile to most of you, yet he still chose to help me, not for any other reason just because he saw someone in need."
The girls around the table began to soften.
" And who better to wield this power better than Izuku anyone who could've gotten the Omnitrix. Honestly, I'm glad it was him. "Shoto spoke honestly to which the girls thought about it, and it made
"I'm sure you are all worried about him, since you all like him," Todoroki said, the whole group fell silent, the guy's jaws dropped, Setsuna had to do a spit-take, Kyouka choked on her drink, Ochako looked at the guys. Yui looked blankly at him.
"Y-you kn-know?"Momo stuttered, and Todoroki turned to her with one eyebrow raised.
"Of course. While I admit I'm socially awkward, I'm not blind Yaoyorozu, " he said, then he looked at all of them.
"It was difficult at first, but on the first day, I determined Izuku as my greatest threat, so I made sure to watch him carefully during hero lessons. I also had to study the rest of my class to make sure you wouldn't get the upper hand on me."
"As the days went on I could notice the looks that you kept giving him or the smiles that would just appear sometimes in your faces whenever he was near" he looked at Ochako specifically "At first it was Uraraka, I noticed that you just gravitate towards him, and how you immediately went to his defence when Bakugou attempted to attack him." Ochako blushed heavily as she began to float slightly.
he then turned to Tsuyu."Ribbit?"
"Then Tsuyu, I could see that you would always care about him, even the little things like forgetting his lunch, and you were also worried about him during his recovery period leaving flowers every day on his bedside."
Tsuyu blushed heavily with a ribbit.
Then to Momo, who immediately went into panic mode"I could see on the way you look at him was different from the first day, as if you respect him, plus from yesterday he couldn't stop gazing at your lips" Then to Mina "I kept noticing how much happier you seem to be whenever he was near"
He then turned to Tooru, who immediately turned invisible. "Hagakure was…difficult to know, but whenever Midoriya talks to you, you would just stop and just…listen. But when you became visible, it was very obvious. "
" Ah, man. "They could only hear her voice as she was completely invisible.
Then lastly, to Jiro, whose face turned red. "I noticed that you were comfortable around Midoriya, not as friendly as you are with your other friends, but whenever you were Midoriya, you would visibly relax," he finished, and the girls A were shocked.
"Wow, you class A girls are so obvious. I'm surprised he hasn't noticed a thing." Setsuna teased.
"Then there's Kendo, who seems happier after a training session with Midoriya." Todoroki then seemed to keep quiet as Kodai looked at him hopefully.
"That's all from what I could gather anyway," Todoroki said.
Yui's comedically turned black and white. If the perceptive, Todoroki couldn't figure out what the chances were, the insecure, and love a ball. "I thought I was being obvious."
Yangi patted the girl's back.
Lunch ended, and Izuku and Iida weren't doing much when it came to conversing.
Even in hero training, he made to finish the whole thing as quickly as possible, using FastTrack to capture the villains.
The same was said for Iida, as he didn't seem to talk to anyone only when it was necessary, which was a little sad as two of their classmates were going through something and they felt powerless to help them.
"It
Were they that obvious? How long did Todoroki know?
"I'm worried about him," Kyouka said.
"I am too," Itsuka said as they walked to the Dorms. "I tried talking to him, he said he's doing fine."
"Just because he says he's fine, that doesn't mean it's true." Kyouka pointed out. To which Ochako nodded.
" We have only known for a while, I don't think he's going to open up to us, no matter how much we try. " Mina said, looking down.
" He keeps a lot to himself, huh? I mean, I've known him for so long, and it sometimes like I know almost nothing about him," Itsuka said.
" But, that's why I am going to keep trying. He may say his fine. I know he's hurting. He's just trying to remain strong for himself. "Momo said, clutching her chest as from his eyes she could tell he was hurting.
"He wouldn't give up on us, if we were hurting or in pain whether physically or mentally I know I can't do much, I'm not as strong or smart as him, but I at least want to save him," Yui said.
"I-I want to help him too," Toru spoke up. "He's my friend... I don't want to lose him. Even if it's a small portion, I'm going to help him!"
"We have only known each other, but we're working to be heroes, which means helping anyone in need, I don't care what Izuku says he needs us! Iida needs us! I'm going to help him!" Itsuka exclaimed.
"I told Izuku that I was working to be a hero that brings smiles to people, I-I have to at least try till I see him really smile!!" Kyouka exclaimed.
"I want to help out too," Momo said. "I can't do much, but he's my... friend," She paused at 'friend', unsure she could call us that after what they shared.
"Yeah, you're not the only one," Ibara said.
The girls nodded before agreeing to find some way to cheer up Izuku. It would take time and a plan, and since they had internships, it would commence after. Till then, they would be there for him.
Izuku went through his list, he looked through before widening as he he was stunned in silence from the two papers.
The number seven hero Miruko and Nighteye. Izuku stared absolutely stunned. The sidekick of All Might? Wanted him to intern the inner nerd, which made him smile, which Yui noticed, and it was a genuine smile.
"Dekiru, who'd you get? I already told you I'm heading to Gunhead's agency myself." Ochako said, noticing his excited smile.
They peeked at his list, seeing his list what made him so happy, "Miruko and Nighteye?!"
Her outburst got everyone's attention as they turned to Izuku.
"Wait, what?! I thought she didn't take interns. " Setsuna asked.
"Dude, seriously, she's a total babe. What the hell did you do to get her attention?!" Mineta screamed out as Denki shook Izuku back and forth.
"Well, she did say if I made a good showing in the sports festival, she said she would take me," Izuku said before looking back at his list.
"Guess she was serious."
"I'm more surprised that Nighteye, All Might, and he parted ways. They aren't even seen in the public eye together anymore,"
"And All Might doesn't mention him once." Izuku thought.
"So who are you going to pick? I mean, obviously, Nighteye, he worked with All Might he seems like the best option."
"Y-Yeah, I guess," Izuku said he wasn't sure, the hero nerd in him wanted to go to Nighteye, but he honestly wanted to go to Miruko, he has been trying to pull away from All Might and be his own hero, maybe learning from his sidekick would be best. He sighed.
" You know Nighteye is cool, but you could learn way more with Miruko," Itsuka said, turning to the side with a blush.
"I mean, sure Nighteye is cool, but Miruko could help you perfect your new move sets around kicking, and Miruko is a total battle craze maniac you know she won't hold back, plus you'll get way more experience in a week with her, everyone knows she's always on patrol, "Itsuka soon began to ramble all the reasons why he should go to her.
" She's becoming a second Izuku. "Yui said.
Izuku smiled a little, but as much as he wanted to, Nighteye was the best option for Him. But then Izuku thought of one hero who could hopefully help him out."Gran Torino..."
He looked through his lists and noticed that he wasn't there. "He didn't send me one? Maybe it's not too late, I should give him a call later."
He needed to be greater than All Might in a little time. Speaking of the number one hero...
" I
Izuku then looked as Iida entered the dorm while chattered echoed throughout the dorm. "I heard his going to the normal hero Manual, which is weird. I'm sure he got better offers than that, but I'm sure he has a reason for picking him. "
Izuku took out his phone and began to look up the normal hero he wanted to know more about him. He opened Zoodle and looked him up," He focuses on rescuing. He usually does teams up, mostly back up, offering support to other heroes, and he situated in..." Izuku widened in horror.
He thought about what he did if he saw Vilgax. He felt so much rage and frustration, Iida must be going through the same thing. The same being who had murdered his father.
" Iida... Y-You wouldn't... "Izuku thought as he looked at the retreating visage of Tenya. Izuku took a breath." N-No, I don't feel that way,"
Izuku tried to suppress the absolute feeling he had, he didn't want to hate someone, but after years of being bullied he found it easier to hold in that rage, every time someone called him useless he brushed it off, if he grew to hate them and being powerless to stop them it wouldn't help in the long run. He clenched his paper in frustration as he, in all honesty, hated Vilgax because every time he thought about him, memories of his mother crying, how she nearly broke down at the funeral.
"Mom went through so much pain..." Izuku shook his head, tears began to flow as he stood up and quickly went to his room. "Heroes don't cry, Izuku... Heroes don't cry... Heroes don't... We protect, we don't seek out revenge." He said as he leaned against the door of his room.
Izuku looked at his palm. "In a few months, he'll come for me," He's soaring with hatred, his heart aching in pain, he's already caused so much, and now he threaten everyone, "No, I will not allow him, to take anyone I love anymore!"
He thought about his friends, his classmates, and the girls he was infatuated with. The more he cared about them, he knew how much Vilgax would take.
He said with venom, tears running down his face, his emerald eyes boring hatred.
"I'll be waiting."
...
AM COMING THROUGH THE UA DORMS LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!!!" They all heard All Might suddenly open the door as Nezu in Aizawa's scarf entered.
"Why do you do that?" Aizawa grumbled out.
"It lets everyone know that I have entered a room." All Might said in a heroic pose, as Aizawa rolled his eyes as he was carrying a metal briefcase.
"We came to offer our assistance!!"
Everyone raised an eyebrow.
Izuku held a small handgun designed like a small pistol with a trigger
"Uh, I'm supposed to beat the most evil being in the universe with a... gun?" Izuku asked a little confused as he handed it to Momo, who examined the device.
"Well, if we're being honest, no, you beating him is not the goal, not exactly your chances of beating him without destroying your body in the process is zero."
"Oh, that's right." Everyone
"Like Recovery Girl said you go 100% in your transformations when you turn back you will die," Aizawa said affirmly.
"If you could use 100, you would be able to go to toe-to-toe with Vilgax. His experience and skill will give him the edge," Nezu said.
"So how is this doohike supposed to--"The gun was handed to Kaminari, who accidentally pressed the button. However, Nezu and Aizawa seem to have no reaction.
"It's known as Null Void projector. The Galvans invented this for the plumbers."
"It's a pocket space where the universe's worst of the worst are thrown in."
Everyone widened as the yellow beam shot out, and a portal opened up. Everyone could feel the pull. A grey tentacle began to emerge from the portal.
"AAAAHH!!!!"
The classes began to scream comedically as Sato, Shishida, Bakugou, Testutestu, and Kirishima began kicking the monster back, shoving it back with explosions.
Kaminari fiddling with the device managed to close the portal, everyone breathing heavily and clutching their beating chest.
"Heh."
Everyone looked at Kaminari, Kyouka being the one person standing next to him quickly took the gun away.
"Give me that thing thing!!" Kyouka shouted.
"A pocket dimension?" Tokoyami asked intrigue. Even though Momo was very interested in the technology, she took the device and looked at it.
"So basically its own, portable Tartarus! Cool!" Kirishima Uraraka and Kaminari said.
"Alien technology, it's amazing. Even our most prestigious scientists haven't cracked interdimensions."
"Some say this punishment is far worse than death, and I agree the Null void is an unforgiving place, it's not meant for the faint of heart," Nezu said as Iida looked at the device.
"Fate worse than death," Iida whispered to himself.
"So, I just point this at Vilgax, and the Null Void sucks him in?"
"That's the idea, but it's not like he won't be prepared for it, and we're working on his timetable," Aizawa said.
"Meaning?"
"For all intense in purpose we are hiding from Vilgax, he's a way too much of a powerful foe."
"Why not just send like an army of pro heroes," Momo suggested.
"We've tried, and the result was catastrophic, to say the least, our world isn't the only one that went through a genetic evolution and let's just say we've seen it play out when Vilgax left after killing the majority of the heroes, the world went into utter chaos villains reigned, heroes, the few hid, people live in fear or did... "He smiled a little.
"... Till Hisashi showed up. "
" So the gathering pro is out of the question?"
"We didn't say that, Nezu has warned the public commission of an incoming threat, so they have heroes in preparation in case he attacks," Aizawa said.
Izuku placed the weapon back in the briefcase.
"So the plan is Deku beats him, and we toss him into this prison and leave him to rot," Katsuki said
"Pretty much it."
"So... No one has ever escaped this null void? Throwing them guarantees we will never see them again?" Aoyama asked, looking at the device with a clear interest to which Nezu looked at him blankly. He seemed to be studying him.
However, everyone noticed this except the boy himself who seemed to be transfixed on the device, looking nervously, he smiles, looking more forced." A-Are they anymore? "
" Not on Earth, as far as I'm aware. Well, maybe in Undertow s black market, but I doubt something like that would be there. "
"Undertown...That's where Ester lives!!" Kaminari blurted out as Jirou, Hagakure, and Izuku facepalmed.
"Your girlfriends an alien?" Everyone asked at once.
"Dumbass," Kyouka said.
"Idiot, if she dumps, that's on you," Hagakure said. He looked at Midoriya with a pleading look who shrugged.
"Uh, n-no." He said with a sweat drop. Mineta looked like a proud father. "Get those alien undies! Get those alien panties!!!"
"Why am I friends with you again?" Kaminari asked with his hands in his face.
"Undertown?" Izuku thought about the place. Maybe he should find some time and go to it.
"If you are thinking of going, don't mention Vilgax or rather don't mention he's coming to Earth," Aizawa said, knowing his students might go as he glared at four students in particular. Three gulped.
"He knows!!"
"Ah, I see, thank you." He said as he backed away bowing to the teachers.
" Yes. No one has ever escaped. We have never needed to send humans in there. To my knowledge, no one has had to be sentenced to such a fate."He said as Aoyama gulped and nodded.
Aizawa was confused about why Nezu seemed eager to show everyone the device in both classes.
Izuku looked at it, as they gave him instructions on how it operates, when the time for him to use it, the device would be in a safe place only a few people including himself knew. However, someone was quite interested in the device.
"So why the whole class? I know we agreed to explain to both classes, but both still eluded me on your intentions." Toshinori said.
" I let Hisashi down once. His death weighs on me, I have to make sure his son isn't in any more danger. This was a small experiment if you will."

It was now night time he looked out of his balcony, he grabbed his phone the light illuminating through the dark night he scrolled through his contacts and stopped at Gran Torino. He placed it over his ear as it rang.
He picked up immediately.
{Gran Torino: Hello Toshinori?}
"Izuku Midoriya."
{Gran Torino: Huh? Who is this? Toshinori or...Hisashi.}
Izuku widened."So you knew to."
{Gran Torino: So the big buffoon finally told you huh?}
Outside, the girls were coming to cheer him up with a game or something when Kyouka and Pony stopped them."Shh."
"Huh?"
Kyouka's jack was in the air listening in. Pony ears twitched.
"Well, since you know, that means you are definitely the best guy to teach me on my internship!!"
Gran Torino paused a bit before speaking.
{Gran Torino: When Toshinori asked me to train you, it was the basics to get a better grip on your quirk, so you would stop shattering your bones. But your shackles of All Might held you back. When I watched the Sports Festival I expected to see you illuminate him, and be the kind of hero he is, if that was the case I would've sent an internship so I could knock some sense to you.}
Izuku listened intentively as Kyouka remembered the time she had eveasdropped on Izuku. She took a deep breath. "Guys, we should leave, we can come back and talk to him later."
She began to push everyone as they whined and struggled. She especially did that too Pony.
{Gran Torino: But instead, I saw someone trying to be his own hero. You aren't the same timid kid I met months back. You have broken the shackles you have about All Might. Your new move is proof of that. So my sending you an internship was mute. Now I leave the rest in Toshinori's hands. If you are anything like your father, I know you will be fine.}
Izuku looked down doubt crept into his mind as he began being honest, letting the facade he had all day falter.
"H-How do you know? How are you sure I'm not going to fail? What if I'm not strong g enough? What if I-I can't win? How am I supposed to be All Might or my dad? H-How...?"
{Gran Torino: I trained Toshinori and your father. So take it from the guy who taught the greatest heroes this world and universe have seen. You have far more potential than both of them combined.}
Izuku widened as tears began to flow down.
{Gran Torino: You got that blonde idiot's heroic heart and power to boot! You have your father's relentless spirit and accompanied with his mind.}
Tears began to flow freely as he hiccuped a bit.
{Gran Torino: Your father wasn't especially powerful. It was a miracle how this human, with a fire-breathing quirk, that wasn't too special, managed to thwart one of the most dangerous and powerful beings. He didn't have all might strength or the Omnitrix... all he had was his head on his shoulders. But he managed to do it. He did the impossible.}
Izuku was crying freely, not the same comedic ones he was known for as he clutched his chest.
{Gran Torino: Your father had no doubts about you, and he was always right, so I know you will be fine. So... Who are you?}
"Dekiru 10: Alien Force." He said through his tears.
{Gran Torino: And I'm sure you have an internship that you want to do. Trust yourself and go with your gut."
Izuku looked at the papers and smiled as he tossed Nighteyes agency away."Yeah, I know who."
"Can I ask one favour, though? Y'know as the son of the greatest hero?"
{Gran Torino: Huh? Throwing your weight around, I see? Sure.}
...
Internships first day...
"This is the place," Tenya said, internally groaning that he actually agreed to do this.
He finally came upon an old-looking brick building. He glanced down at the address in his hand and then glanced at the address on the side of the building. Tenya honestly didn't feel too sure about this place, but nonetheless, he still walked up the steps and to the double doors.
"Manual suddenly got a cold, and All Might himself recommended him to me. It was last minute, but I agreed to it. he was his teacher, after all, I couldn't pass up this offer. I still will go after Stain." He thought as he clenched his bag.
"Though I wonder why was he so scared?"
He knocked on the door. "Hello? I am Tenya Iida from UA!! I have come to tutor under the man who trained All Might. Please welcome me into your home!!"
There was silence before the door creaked open he entered.
"Gran Torino?"Tenya tentatively shouted down the hallway. "Your door was unlocked, and you did not answer, so I apologize for technically breaking and entering!" He had been debating whether or not to enter the dilapidated premises for ten minutes prior.
There was no response, but something odd was at the end of the hall. Tenya approached it and saw what appeared to be an old man in some kind of hero costume covered in red fluid and viscera.
"119, 119…"Tenya muttered as he fumbled for his phone to call the emergency line.
"I'M ALIVE!" the man shouted before Tenya could unlock his phone, nearly causing the boy to fumble it.
