UA Multiverse Peek
Chapter 23
So this will be me playing up a few romantic bits from a few of my other stories. And maybe some of you will give the stories they're pulled from a read. And we'll also see what Aizawa has to do as a consequence of rejecting aspects of the spirits. So on with the show.
(No POV)
The next day during classes the teens of 1-A weren't sure what would happen when Aizawa arrived. Though the one who arrived for their homeroom was Principal Nezu. "Uh. Sir? Why are you here instead of Aizawa-sensei? Not that you aren't welcome! It's just…." Izuku questions when the rodent administrator takes roll.
"It's quite all right Midoriya. Well….. It would be easier if you saw it for yourself." Nezu says with a chuckle. He brings up a screen which shows some heroes working for the day. And Aizawa is currently working with Ms. Joke on her patrol for the day. Wearing a pink version of his jumpsuit, and thus making him stand out more.
Mina and Toru are excited for their teacher to be spending time with the pro they shipped him with. While a few others in class were chuckling at how miserable Aizawa seemed to be. Especially when more and more people were turning their attention to him.
Nezu laughs a bit before saying, "I thought it would do him some good to work with a hero who teaches at a different school. And that it would be good to remove him from his comfort zone."
The rest of the day plays out no different than any other. But the teens each try to use or come up with new moves based on the videos they had seen over the last few days. With Shinso working on and trying some of the assassin moves he'd seen Izio using.
Itsuka and Ojiro though tried some of what they saw the panda Izuku doing against the peacock Tomura. They found they could redirect some strikes, namely Shoda's twin impact attacks and even Rin's scales could be deflected. But others were just impossible. Like Aoyama's navel laser or Todoroki's fire attacks.
Instead, they (along with a few others) focused on the ways they'd seen the panda evading attacks during the same fight. With Itsuka even taking a bit of inspiration from the peacock and using her hand to startle or distract some opponents. And then changing the attack with her smaller hand.
Izuku meanwhile figured out the ways to work the smash moves he'd seen in previous videos into real attacks. As well as trying something different in private. He closed his eyes and tried to focus on the swarm of power that was OFA.
When he finally connected, he could see the first holder in front of him. He couldn't speak but the first could. The man giving him a kind smile before calling out to 'the ninth' as the energy swirled around inside Izuku's mind.
"Perhaps that other you found a way to connect that you now couldn't quite get to. But it's inspired you to grow closer. As we've approached the singularity, we can go beyond what any of the past was able to do. And you may be the one to put this power to its greatest effect. Just remember young Midoriya: you are never alone."
As the first finishes saying this, he places a hand on Izuku's head, and the boy feels something strange unlock from within. Especially as he sees some of the memories of the previous holders of OFA. Many of them terrify him, but towards the end of it all as he sees the trust each placed in their successors Izuku's resolved hardened.
As the day was ending, all of the students were curious on what would happen next for the various multiverses. "Think we'll get to check in on another universe? Maybe, that battle one let us take a look at a hero with other shipgirls. I hope we get to see more of the Izio story. I can't wait for these titillating romance parts we'll be watching next!"
Toru was the last one who spoke and Mina agreed with her and was excited for the prospects of who she could start shipping with who once the video was done. After they had all showered and changed, the teens all reconvened at the 1-A common room.
With the teachers arriving shortly afterward. Aizawa looking more exhausted than usual. "Remember, you have to keep doing this for the rest of the week~." Nezu says with a teasing look at the insomniac hero. Who looks like he wished to strangle his boss but knows he can't. As he and the rest take their seats, the screen lights up and shows a very strange image.
'When did it start? When did I start wanting to be closer to him? No. Not just closer. I…. when did I start liking him?' The one thinking this was Kendo Itsuka. She was monologuing in her mind as a light flickered on from her phone that she dropped.
"So the class prez has someone she's interested in~. Wonder who it is? Tetsutetsu? Maybe Sen? Oooh, what about Juzo!?" a few of the girls from class 1-B said while looking at said teens with intrigue. And it made all the teens involved blush or squirm.
At least until Kosei brought up something else. "Uh did anyone else notice that Kendo is in a place with little lighting? What's that about?" That statement makes the rest worried and curious about what was going on.
The light blinked on and off a few times until it showed who she was talking about and what the situation was. Just across from her was Jotaro Svoboda. A hero student in her opposing class but one who made massive splashes in the world. And now said hero was unconscious while they both were trapped under rubble. Barely held up by Itsuka with her quirk.
Upon seeing the rubble everyone freaked out a bit. Especially at how Itsuka was barely holding up the rubble bubble she and the other world hero were in. "Aw man. It's someone not in our universe." Mina said with a pout. Setsuna agreed but she was still curious at what about this big powerhouse of a hero did to interest Itsuka.
Itsuka looks to the broad and powerful hero as she thinks more on the matter. 'I know when it started. The entrance exam for UA.' The video cuts to Itsuka's perspective of Jotaro going throughout the battlefield and smashing through robot after robot. Even making an even bigger fool of the blonde hothead who tried to pick a fight with him at the start. (A quick showing of Jotaro ignoring Bakugo until he grabbed his arm. And getting nonchalantly backhand punched in the face so hard he gets sent flying with a bloody nose.)
Snorts of laughter were let out at how casually the other hero sent Bakugo flying. And their version was seething at how he'd been so easily dealt with. "Guess that explains why you didn't make it into the hero course. You had to go up against a mini All Might." Mineta says with a smirk.
What first got me curious, and a bit interested in Jotaro came with the arrival of the zero-point robot. I had twisted my ankle and was trying to get away. But the massive machine was barreling down on us. The other being a Mineta who would also be added to class 1-A
Eyes were wide at the turn of events, with their versions commenting that the same didn't happen in their version of the entrance exam. The teachers meanwhile had a moment where they were questioning the sense in the use of the zero-pointers.
He used his quirk to try and slow the thing down. And it worked… but he forgot to run afterwards. As the zero pointer broke free and tried to smash us, I grabbed the short guy to save him from being crushed. Right as I was sure I was done for; I could hear the straining of metal and the grunting of someone else. I looked up and saw him standing there. Holding the fist of the zero pointer by himself.
"Whoa," was what most of the teens said when they saw Jotaro catch the fist of the giant robot. And then agreeing with Mineta's statement about the other world hero being like a mini All Might.
When I told him I couldn't move he just said, "I can just finish this now. Stay or rather get back as far as you can! I don't know how badly this thing'll fragment once I'm done!" Upon saying that he pushed the massive machine back a bit before ripping its arm off. And then smashing it down on robot.
Eyes were wide at the other hero's actions with the teachers frowning at the reckless actions he took. "He may have acknowledged that it would fragment, but that still doesn't excuse taking a needless risk." Aizawa analyzed with a frown. With Nezu nodding in agreement.
Not to say it wasn't really reckless. I had to knock away a bit of the fragments that were sent my way. But when the massive head of the robot was falling on me as well, he saved me again. Holding it up like Atlas held the sky. His face was a bit close to mine as he was holding it, but he didn't notice my blush. And the first thing he asked was, "you, okay?" before tossing the head to the side.
Even with the sunglasses shading his eyes, quite a few assumed that the big hero was giving the other Itsuka a smoldering look. "You got a thing for the big hero types prez?" Setsuna said while gently elbowing her classmate. And she responded with a chop to her head. Though she couldn't hide the blush on her cheeks.
Once he'd introduced himself, he offered to take me and Mineta back to the front of the battlefield. Apparently, he could hear the rescue teams arriving. The little guy climbed on Jotaro's back beneath his shirt to keep from falling off. But for me….. well I was embarrassed, but he picked me up in a bridal carry. And then leapt to the entrance like All Might would.
"Oooohhhh! He swept her off her feet! Nicely done big guy! I don't think he was even trying to hit on her or anything. So, he's got a natural charm all his own?" the girls comment while some of the guys are rolling their eyes. Or grumbling at how the American had swept a hot member of their class of her feet.
Later on, I decided to asks for his help with something. Jotaro was apparently an accomplished martial artist, and I asked him to spar with me in the lead up to the Sports Festival. He even taught me a few new styles to compliment my own.
Seeing and hearing that Jotaro knew martial arts as well as his incredible strength made even more people jealous and assume their other selves were overshadowed. Especially a blonde douche from 1-B. "Impressive. He doesn't want to rely on his powers and knows ways to fighting to compliment them." Midnight comments with a critical eye. All Might agreed with her assessment and noted that it was something many heroes neglected in the current age.
Thanks to him, and his point of not relying on my power to carry me or make me predictable, I advanced to the semi-finals of the final round. Without using my quirk once. I only lost to the student he'd been training longer, Midoriya. And he'd respected me by not using his meta powers during our fight. Beating me fair and square.
"Awesome! Class 1-B represent! Nice job Kendo! So that version of the festival was quite different. Guess that shows how superior our class can really be! When our leader didn't need to use her-guck!" were some of the compliments tossed around upon hearing that. At least until Monoma ruined it.
But 1-A complimented her as well. With Tokoyami applauding her skill at defeating him. "Impressive indeed. To have trained her to the point that quirks seem worthless or pointless is quite the accomplishment." Nezu says with a nod. Some others though nodded in respect to the other Izuku. Itsuka being one to comment that he gave her a fight and loss she could be proud of. With Bakugo scoffing at the idea of being proud of a loss.
At the end of the Festival, we all learned something interesting. Jotaro himself was completely blind. Sort of. His power to absorb energy enhanced every part of his body including his eyes. Making them so sensitive he could see all spectrums of light and even miniscule things. But it overwhelmed his eyes, so he wore sunglasses all the time.
It made me think more on all the times we'd trained. He admitted knowing roughly what I looked like, even naked, thanks to a radar sense he'd developed. But it never mattered to him what I or anyone looked like.
Jaws were dropped at the mention that a blind, technically quirkless person had plowed through the competition like it was nothing. Even treating Todoroki and even Endeavor like they were nuisances.
Though hearing about his other forms of perception and that what she or anyone looked like intrigued and impressed quite a few. While all of the pervs were wishing they could have that same super sense when it came to knowing what a girl looked like naked.
And when I told him about wanting to show how martial arts could still be used in viable ways to be a hero, he smiled and said something that made my heart skip a bit. "I would say that is part of what I like about you. You see more of the bigger part to how to fight than most. Plus, you want to help and save people. Not just play with your power or use it to show off."
A few of the girls noticed the blush that their version of Itsuka had and gave her 'hugh hugh' to tease her. "He's not even trying or in this world and he's charming Kendo!" Kosei raged as he saw both versions blushing. Midnight though nodded at the strange hero's demeanor and charm. While Aizawa was rolling his eyes at the whole situation.
And I saw a different side to him and Saphentite when we were at the training camp. While we were there, the WWPC had brought someone different in for the training. A teen about our age. But unlike us he had a sadder story. He was born quirkless and abandoned in the woods.
Hearing what happened to some other boy made all of the audience freeze up for a moment. And then look down in secondhand shame at the reason he was tossed aside. Nezu himself noting, "it wouldn't surprise me if that is a similar case to our world. And we so called heroes can't do or won't do anything to stop or help it."
Others like him had found him and the made a small community for themselves. But one day they were attacked by quirk supremacists from Deika city. And the boy awakened something he could barely control. The powers of a true meta. And he proceeded to knock out half of the attackers by himself before exhausting.
Seeing what the people of the city did made quite a few rage at the offenders and wish they could step in to take them down. Only to be surprised when a quirkless person awakened something far stronger than most quirks. And defeated a few quickly.
While the pros were looking at the location with suspicion. 'I think we should keep a closer eye on our own Deika city. If this world is anything reflective of ours, then they could have multiple people with similar records.' Aizawa thinks with a hum.
During the camp, I saw him take a different mentoring role than he had with me. Treating the boy like a brother and helping him learn how to use his powers. So, he could better protect his hidden community.
"Wow. This guy is a teacher as well as a fighter and hero." Shoji says with a nod. A number of students agree while the hard head pat their chest with their fists and call him manly and honorable. All Might though was seeing how this other world hero had helped to improve Midoriya's skills. 'He's a far better teacher than me. And a third my age!'
Though I'd seen the sweet side as well when someone different was brought in by Sir Nighteye. A little girl with silver hair, red eyes, and a horn. One of the first things Jotaro was really gentle with her and lend her his desk so she could draw and color. And when she started to get sleepy, he sang a tune his own grandmother had taught him. And put her right to sleep.
Seeing Eri so soon surprised everyone, but they were shocked again as the giant of a hero treated her gently and compassionately. "Oh my god that is so cute and sweet!" Toru said with a squeal. And their version of Eri started to fade as the other hero was singing. "That guy has way too many ways to impress girls." Mineta said bitterly. With Kosei and Kaminari agreeing with him.
But things changed when the League of Villains attacked. Though they were not alone. They had new and dangerous allies in the form of The Forgotten. Apparently, they were all people like Jotaro, Midoriya, and even the boy Kazuhiko. They were all quirkless people who were abandoned or abused in their lives.
Hearing that and the fact they were allied with the most dangerous group of their own world made all the heroes gulp. Both in worry and in panic for their other selves.
But they had awakened powers that put into perspective how worthless quirks were as a whole. I remember the attacks of a woman who could control earth more precisely than Pixie Bob and could even turn it into lava to attack and hurt all of the heroes. Or the giant of a man who could shift his size however he pleased. Even copying my quirk in a sense to only grow his hands or legs or whatever.
Eyes were wide at what one of them could do and the other appeared to be able to grow like Mt Lady. "But he can also use his power like mine. And it doesn't seem like there is any strain!" Itsuka said with a critical eye.
Aizawa meanwhile noted the greater power the earth manipulator had. "As far as I know, there isn't any one quirk user who can turn rock into lava. Let alone manipulate it." Midnight agreed and questioned what made the 'true metas' so much stronger. "Not to mention…. What even are some of their limits?"
And one of them had managed to knock Jotaro out and kidnap him. Thus, a group of us worked together to try and save him. Midoriya, Saphentite, and Kazuhiko. They could do whatever they wanted or needed to do. After all they didn't have quirks. But I went along because I wanted to save him this time. And thus, we are back at this point.
"Wait so that means….. that the Bakugo rescue team or rather the Jotaro rescue team….. they're actually legal in this case!?" Kirishima questioned with his jaw dropped. Aizawa thought about it and saw what the teen meant. "It's true. While they may have powers, theirs aren't in the same technical spectrum of quirks. As such… they….. have the legal freedom to do what they want." Eyes were wide as they looked and saw how the other Izuku, and his allies actually sucker punched AFO. While the other Itsuka was evacuating Jotaro.
As much as I hate to admit it, I can't do anything else in this situation. The only one who could get us out is Jotaro. But he's still trapped in some mind loop. I need to break him out of it….. and I think I know how.
Some question what the other Itsuka had in mind while others were wondering how they even got buried to begin with. "Oh no. I know how they ended up in that state!" All Might said with a pained look. He noted that it was likely due to his fight with AFO in that world. "That monster wouldn't care if there was collateral damage. So, he likely fired off a blast that buried the two of them."
"But why didn't the other Kendo just get clear and dig the guy out later? He's invulnerable right?" Awase asked while scratching his head. The other teens all look confused as well. Except for Izuku, Itsuka, and Bakugo. They all have an idea what happened.
(POV Shift to third person) She crawls over to the teen who had been her savior, friend, and trainer. And with a raspy breath, she kisses him. Jotaro had been breaking out of his mental block, but this was enough of a snap to his senses that he quickly wraps his arms around Itsuka. And reciprocates the kiss.
Seeing the other Itsuka kissing the big hero of UA in that world gets quite a few on the teasing path again. While some others seethe at the luck that other world hero had.
But in his hands and in the corner of his lips, he knows something is wrong. "Itsuka. Itsuka!" Jotaro says in a panicked voice. The girl coughs again with a bit more blood coming out of her mouth than before. While she had managed to stop most of the debris, parts of it pierced through her hands and into her back and chest. "What were you thinking!? I'm invulnerable remember?!" "I don't know. My legs and arms just started moving on their own. Cough! Cough! Same for what I just did."
Seeing how badly her other self was injured made the viewing Itsuka shiver. While also feeling as though she had been pierced by the metal. "I had a feeling that was why the other you did that Kendo. And it shows how much of a hero you really are." Izuku said with a sad smile.
The rest of the audience were terrified and sad for what had happened to the other girl. "No….. Prez…. No!" Setsuna muttered out while seeing her classmate bleeding. Kinoko and Pony meanwhile had gone over to hug their version. Fearing that she might disappear from them at any moment. And all of the boys of 1-B were silently raging at what befell the big sister they never had in another world.
Before Jotaro can really ask why she did what she did, Itsuka answered for him. "I've liked you for a while Jotaro, but I wasn't really sure how much. But after you got taken… and I wasn't even able to help you because I had a different battle to fight….. I couldn't just wait and hope that the rest would save you. This time….. I wanted to be the one who saved you." Itsuka smile up at Jotaro as he cradles her. He asks for her to stay strong, but she just says she was glad to have met him before closing her eyes with a smile. Jotaro grips her tight to his body before roaring in anger. And blasting away all the debris with a move. Thus the scene cuts out.
Tears had started as the other Itsuka was confessing her feelings for Jotaro. Growing as the big hero pleaded with her to stay with him. And with the girl's last words to him, the tears fell on par with Izuku's. Especially at hearing the grief filled anger of Jotaro as he blasted the debris away.
And when the scene cut out, it made more of them rage. "C'mon! You can't just leave us with that! What happened next!? Is that Kendo… dead?" a few of the students rage and question as the screen cuts out.
With the teachers though, they each feel measures of rage and pride at what had happened to the other Kendo. "She did exactly what a hero would do. She sacrificed herself to save another." All Might said sadly. Tears falling from his eyes. Aizawa, Midnight, and Mic agreed, while also thinking about their classmate Shirakumo. And his final sacrifice.
'How did I come to this?' The one thinking this was Commander John Kotov of the US navy. And the summoner of a number of shipgirls for the western United States. He was currently on his back with a bruised face. Courtesy of a ship that was crying on his chest and had slugged him a few times. USS Cleveland.
"WHOA! What the hell!? Think he cheated on her? Maybe it's something else. You know for a strong as she probably is, he seems to be holding up well. Lemillion? Why is that girl hitting him? Uh, why don't we watch and see for ourselves."
While the teens had very animated reactions to the scene before them, the teachers were questioning things in a more pragmatic manner. With Aizawa noting that something could have happened and they were the only survivors. Which just made Midnight and Mic look at him while thinking he was to blunt and pragmatic.
Things had become strange for the man after the attacks by the Sirens. But He eventually settled into his new role. As the commander of Botwa base. With Apgar even getting him a proper license to be a hero. Not that he wanted to be that.
A chorus of ooohs were let out at hearing that the American had become a hero. Even though the look on his face told them that he hated the thought entirely. With Aizawa letting out a laugh before agreeing with the man's reluctance. "Just like mine with being a teacher."
But the world seemed to be conspiring against him as he got dragged into an incident that turned him into a very recognized pro hero. After sending out his fleet to engage a group of Sirens, Star and Stripe got an alert that a few had slipped into the city itself.
Seeing and hearing about the attack happening made plenty in the audience nervous. Some even subconsciously activated their quirks and wished they could help the Americans. With All Might looking at the site of his one-time home with worry.
While John wanted to simply call back the fleet, Star decided to take a different approach. And picked him up to drag him to fight the Sirens themselves. And despite his griping, seeing the destruction around reminded him of the family he lost. Pushing him to step up.
Laughs were let out again at the man being tossed over Star and Stripes' shoulder like a bag of potatoes. "Guess she doesn't take no for an answer!" Ochaco says with a smile. But when the scene shifted to the destruction and some panicking, the mood did as well. With hard heads nodding at Kotov stepping up to do what he was needed for.
"Did you know this would happen?" John asked as he took off his officer's jacket before looping it over his shoulders. Star just smiled at him and shrugged. The military hero just rolled his eyes before adjusting his cap. "Alright. Lets do this." Kotov said before powering up his quirk. And the two proceeded to take out a dozen sirens themselves.
"HOLY SHIT! That was awesome! Look at them go! Dude is looking badass with that coat cape of his! Now this is more like it! No more of that lovey dovey bullshit!" most of the guys and a few of the girls say. And while Mina and Toru were a little disappointed about the shift, they couldn't deny how cool the two heroes looked while taking down the invaders.
And while John saw this as nothing special and that they only finished off low quality clones, the rest of the nation saw the pair's heroics. And he rose to the number 2 spot in the hero rankings within a year. The media dubbing him Commander Brawl.
A few spit takes were let out at hearing of Kotov's meteoric rise in the ranks of a pro hero. With Izuku, Kirishima, Sato, Tetsutetsu, Shoji and even Jurota wanting some of the promotional posters that the companies had made of Commander Brawl. "SOOO MANLY!" Kirishima and Tetsutetsu shouted at seeing the image of the commander in a shot. Shirtless, his large arms crossed over his chest, and his coat fluttering behind him.
Even the girls were impressed and agreeing with the 'manly' comment. Midnight herself inspecting the man as stood and licking her lips in excitement. Some also found the poster image of him and Star back-to-back equally inspiring and epic. As well as another where their buffed-up arms were showing as they clasped hands in solidarity. (Think that 80s man meme but with Star)
But none of that mattered to him. He was more focused on his fleet and making sure they'd come back alive. Especially his first summon of Yorktown. The two connected quickly, but they danced around what they felt for quite a while. Until John finally started dating his first summon.
The first part Aizawa, All Might and Nezu nodded in appreciation of the commander's dedication and prioritizing. "He knows how dangerous this all is. And he wants to make sure they all come back." With Ida standing and saluting the hero. Seeing him akin to his brother.
Upon seeing what was happening with John and Yorktown though, Mina and Toru were excited once more. "Wait. Is it weird that the ship… is half a ship itself?" Toru questions while thinking about Yorktown. Mina tells her to stop over thinking it. "This just seems like some great high seas romance!"
The two grew closer and closer until John asked for her hand. And she accepted and they wed almost a year and a half after Yorktown was summoned. Even adopting a nervous destroyer as a pseudo daughter. USS Spence.
"Awwww!" This time it wasn't just the girls who were saying that. Quite a few of the guys thought it was beautiful too. With a few of the teachers clapping in respect to the shipgirl and her commander's marriage. And even more found the actions of Spence cute as well. "Huh. She's kind of like a female, purple haired version of Midoriya from the start of the year." Sato note with a tilt of his head. And quite a few of the others agree.
The happiness wasn't to last though. Six months prior, Yorktown had been out on a routine escort mission. And she was badly injured. Almost dead. When her sister Hornet and a fleet of other ships arrived to chase off those who attacked her, what they found was a Yorktown who had three limbs burned off. And was still in a coma to this day.
The sight of the Yorktown and what she had endured made everyone gasp. With Ibarra praying that the woman who gave what she could to protect others would recover eventually. All Might meanwhile felt his own injury and could still feel the phantom pains of his stomach being ripped out. He lowered his head and offered up his own prayers to any deity that those involved in hurting Yorktown would be brought to justice.
Seeing the woman, he loved in such a state drove John to push harder to fight the Sirens. At times sending the fleets out to obliterate everything in sight. While also pushing his own strength and quirk to be ready to fight those who would come to hurt them again. But he also pushed everyone else away. Even Spence who was scared to see him like this.
"Hey, does the state he is in remind you of anyone?" Manga notes with a question mark on his face. A few think on it, but two of them already know. Shoto speaks up next and says, "that look on his face. It's similar to one I've seen on my father's. It's one he had for years."
Hearing this makes quite a few sympathetic for what Shoto and his family likely had to endure. And while the girls don't hug him; a few, like Momo and Ochaco, place comforting hands on his shoulders. With the bi colored teen giving them a small smile in thanks.
He was worried about Spence though, thinking she might have to go through something as bad as he did. Only for it to seem like Kotov simply pushed her away and wouldn't interact with her anymore. "I'm not sure if he's worried he'd do something he'd regret or if he's just too hyper focused. But at least he hasn't crossed that line." Midnight says with a severe look at the commander.
And thus, we come to now. With Cleveland attacking him to snap him out of his funk. "You think you're the only one who lost someone! Every one of us shipgirls knows that better than you! We've all lost family in one way or another! But you have a bigger family than you realize! We're all here for you and we need you with us!" Cleveland shouted at him between punches to his face.
All Might and some of the oldest members lowered their heads and acknowledged that was probably true. "If they remember the battles, they were a part of. And the sisters they lost in those battles, then they would know the pain of loss better than we do."
The rest of the audience looks down before looking to the distraught face of the strawberry blonde shipgirl. Sending condolences to her for anyone she remembered losing. With Ibarra praying for not just the souls of the ships, but the souls of those who had died aboard the same ships.
Her punches eventually faded, and she whispered out something that helped to pull John back to the light. "I don't want to see someone I love destroy themselves." It made the commander start looking at his actions over the last six months and it made him tear up. He wrapped Cleveland in a hug before crying with her.
That statement made a few stop and take interested notice. "So wait….. he's got more than one ship who wants to get in his pants?" Kosei asked before getting smacked by a red-faced Ibarra. Mineta looked like he wanted to say something similar but stopped when Kosei got his punishment.
After they both cleaned up, John started about healing himself and his relationships. While nervous about trying to apologize to Spence, once he did the girl had only one thing to say. "Welcome back daddy," she said before hugging him. John returning it and crying with the little destroyer. And the scene cuts out.
Seeing the little destroyer girl and her pseudo father making up warmed most of the audience's hearts. With Shoto happy that the two were able to reconcile. 'I wonder if I'll ever really be able to do that with my father? Or….. if our relationship is completely broken.' Shoto thinks as the screen cuts out.
"OH COME ON! At least let us know if Yorktown woke up!" Mina says when the scene ending. With Toru and Pony agreeing. "I want to know what could be happening with Midoriya though. Think he's attracting his ships too?" Kaminari asks while thinking about the four they had seen him summon. With Izuku himself blushing at the thought of getting close to some of those shipgirls.
What started my interest? (Setsuna asked herself while lying down looking at Izuku's sleeping face). It came long after we were dropped into this world. A number of us had grouped up to talk about where we were and what happened to our quirks. Unfortunately, we didn't realize we were standing on top of a monster. A huge fish like creature known as a Jyuratodus.
Setsuna and Izuku blushed brightly before the former chose to tease her fellow green head. Only to get stopped when Yui pointed out that should wait and see what happened. The perverts in the group though noticed something important.
"Wait a second! They're lying down in bed and Midoriya doesn't look like he's wearing clothes! Does that mean? That son of a bitch!" Each of them said before Mineta roared that last piece out.
More of the audience though was focused on Setsuna's flashback. And another monster that had attacked their group. "Man, they have some crazy creatures in that world!" Jiro noted while shaking her head in disbelief. No one could even disagree with her point.
After we had fallen, we were all terrified by the huge beast that started roaring at them. It started towards me after knocking me over. I tried backing up as fast as I could to no avail. The Jyuratodus skulked towards me before reeling back and attempting to bite or eat me. It roared in my face after I was backed into a rock wall behind me. And I could do nothing to stop the creature from trying to eat me.
The whole audience was captivated. Each murmuring and hoping that the lizard splitter girl would be able to get away. Some wondering if she was going to die. Forgetting for a moment that Setsuna did survive this encounter. And was just remembering it.
I was saved by a hunter from this world. She saved me and killed the beast by herself. With just a sword. She then escorted our group to the town of Astrea. Where we met up with our classmates and a few of the teachers.
"Manly! DECAPITATION!" Kirishima and then Tetsutetsu said. Holding his hands in a rock on pose. When asked about it, he mentioned finding a really old but awesome metal themed game. "It was like the main character's catchphrase. And it just felt perfect here."
The teachers meanwhile nodded and clapped in respect to the hunter who save them and their students. "She don't need no stinking quirk to kill a monster!" Mic says in a terrible accent. With Aizawa facepalming at the dumb joke.
But it was also here that we learned a terrifying truth; there was no way that any of the hunters knew to get us back home. After that and the frightening experience at the hands of the Jyuratodus, I hid myself away in the room they had given to me and a few other girls.
Setsuna looked down at that and admitted that it was probably stacked trauma. "I mean, that other me almost died to a giant freaking fish. We've got no way home. And all of our quirks, the things we've all been training with, are gone so there's no way to defend ourselves. All together it was probably too much."
The others in the audience look to one another and do see her point. Especially given she was almost eaten by a giant fish beast. "That thing looks like a… oh what was it called? A coelacanth! Strange to see such an ancient form for a beast." Koda noted with some fascination.
It was terrifying to me because I learned the beast wasn't even a major monster in its region. It was just a medium monster and there were things more powerful, more aggressive, and capable of destroying entire cities out there. Namely the Elder Dragons.
Eyes were wide hearing that and with Setsuna noting that made sense for the final nail. "That lighting…. Horse, unicorn thing this other Midoriya fought was supposed to be an Elder Dragon. Wonder what other ones are like?" Sen and Bondo asked.
They are then shown images of a few of the Elder Dragons and their powers. From the lion like pair of Teostra and Lunastra (unleashing massive streams of fire and explosions that made the two who used those jealous) to the almost angelic looking Shaguru Magala with light bursting around it. To a dragon who had powers just like Shoto's in Eruzerion and two so massive they couldn't fully be seen. Those being Dalamadur, Zorah Magdaros and Ceadeus. The last of which had to be fought underwater.
Seeing the various beasts that the hunters came into contact with, fought, and sometimes killed granted everyone a greater respect for them. Especially when they saw the massive storms or devastation they could unleash. "Yeah. No. My other self is right to be bit terrified of that world. I'm not even there and I want to hide under my bed." Setsuna says while gulping.
For two weeks I, and a few others, barely left our rooms. It took the courage, and maybe the crazy, of Izuku to get some others to realize that we could do more. But I wasn't having any of it. I had gotten more paranoid as days went by. Not helped by Kendo and the others trying to pretend there had been a way found home.
"Oops." Itsuka said while wringing her hands. With Setsuna saying, "did you really think you'd easily pull one over on a recommended student?" Her smirk and raised eyebrow made Itsuka want to smack her, but she couldn't disagree.
I acted like a scared cat or lizard when Izuku came in to try and get me to be a part of this world. I'd never really thought much of him beyond that he was crazy powerful. But how he held me and talked to me calmly, even after I broke his nose with my head, it spoke to me somehow.
Izuku flinched seeing his other self get his nose broke. With Bakugo laughing once and calling him 'weak'. Setsuna though apologized and mentioned it wasn't personal. "Of course not. You've got every reason to be scared. Or your other self does. But I guess I've got enough courage to push back the fear." Izuku said with a smile.
He admitted to not knowing if there was a way back. "What I do know is that no one can just stay bottled up with all of this and hope to be fine. And running or just hiding won't change the problem." He said to me. He talked about how he found a way to work with the world we were stuck in and had inspired some others to do the same. "You don't have to hunt the monsters; you don't even have to get out in the field. But you do need to get out of here and maybe let a few others help you."
"That's something we should have been telling her. But I guess we were wrapped up in our own miseries really try to talk to her." Midnight says while watching the other Izuku's speech. Aizawa and Snipe agreed while wondering what all of them would be doing in that world filled with monsters.
His words made me at least a little willing to try. I started out as a handler. Calling for help or back up, patching up the hunters if they returned and needed a rest. Though the hunter in my case….. was just Izuku for a while.
While the perverts were all grumbling about the other Izuku basically monopolizing one of the hottest girls in their class, Monoma was irritated that one of their best was basically regulated to supporting or side character. "Bad enough that he helped her when we couldn't, but now he gets to treat her like-"
"Monoma! Don't you even think of finishing that sentence." Itsuka says with both of her hands enlarged and ready to crush him. "Or do. And see what happens to your future," Setsuna said with her eyes narrowed at the blonde. She was also annoyed by her classmate's opinion of her other self and had one hand and foot aimed at his crotch. For a kick and a crushing of his parts.
I'd started to see him as the savior for all of us. That maybe he could get us all out of this. Something I told him after he got attacked by an Odogaron. And was profusely bleeding from quite a few spots.
"HOLY SHIT! Whoa okay, that's a lot of blood! How is he still conscious?!" A said when they saw Izuku bleeding out like that. After though, more complimented Setsuna on her other self's quick triage of the bleeding party.
And while she preened at that, her other version's actions made her seem kind of stalker like. "Hmmmm. Think she's gonna go yandere on him?" Mineta asks Kosei after listening to her fears and expectations of Izuku. Kosei thinks for a second before saying, "maybe?"
He found a way to sneak away from me and make me stay close to a few from my class. So I could try and heal. But his avoidance almost lead to him dying. He was lost for a week after getting caught in a fight between a Kirin and an Azure Rathalos.
So Ochaco and I put together a team to try and look for him as well. And we finally had some luck. After a few days of searching, the bolt from what we suspected was another Kirin pointed us in the direction we needed to go.
A few chuckles were had imagining Izuku sneaking away from the possibly clingy Setsuna. "Okay I don't even blame him. I was probably freaking him out a lot!" Setsuna says with a strained chuckle.
"Okay so now we're back to what we saw earlier. But from a different perspective?" Kinoko questions and a few agree. With Aizawa and Kan's eyes twitching that another group of their students went rogue to save someone. "I'm both annoyed and proud at the same time." Kan says while pinching the bridge of his nose.
When we got there, Ochaco and I were the first to check if Izuku was still alive after fighting a dangerous form of Odogaron as well as an Elder Dragon. And when we felt his pulse both of us broke down in tears at the fact, he was still alive.
Upon seeing both girls acting very relieved, more eyebrows were raised and some were about to call Izuku a dog or congratulate him on having two girls interested in him. While two of the three involved were blushing and almost blue screening. And the third just happy the one who helped her other self was okay.
We got to work patching him up and during his recovery time in Astrea, the two of us acted as his nurses. The two of us even got closer during this time. Enough to where when Ochaco started rambling about her fears for what could happen to Izuku, I gave her a nudge to admit something she'd been holding in.
"OOOOOH! Is she gonna!? I hope so!" Mina and Toru said back and forth while with vested interest. While some others were looking at Ochaco and questioning if their version would confess after this. And the two involved….. well one looked more like a tomato and the other was currently floating up to the ceiling in embarrassment.
"I've like you for a while. I tried to push these feelings down. To do like you do and focus on my goal of being a hero. But during and after the joint training, they grew again. I was able to push them away for a while with everything we've been through here. But after thinking you had died or seeing how broken you were when we found you, I guess my feelings… they grew back again." Ochaco admitted when I patted her back.
Mina meanwhile slid over with a huge smile on her face. "Anything you'd like to say Ochaco?" Mina says while leaning on her friend a bit after she was brought back down by Sero. Ochaco just keeps squealing a bit and shaking her head.
Izuku meanwhile coughed in his hand while trying to ease his blush down and put his own thoughts about Ochaco aside. 'It's not like I don't like her but…. I'm not really used to that or anything.' Izuku thinks before picturing some of their times together.
I admitted that my own feelings had grown during our time working together as hunter and handler. Even as I started to learn how to use the bowguns of the hunters. Izuku was a bit shocked, but he told us both that there was something he felt for the two of us as well.
"Midori~~~! Have anything you'd like to say!?" Toru asks while leaning on Izuku as well. And his blush was back even harder. Especially because he could feel a few of her parts pushing up against him. For most of the guys though, they were either barely paying attention, finding it interesting, or were raging about Izuku's luck.
And while he was panicking a bit and nervous about how to go about it, the two of us were willing to wait and see where their feelings would go. Though not before Ochaco got a sneaky kiss in before leaving. And I'm not one to be outdone. So, I give Izuku the same before we leave.
And that knocked Ochaco and Izuku in the audience out. Mostly because of all the blood rushing to their heads. Setsuna herself blushes a bit before looking over at their version of Izuku. She thought he did look cute, but that was about where her thoughts rested for the time being. 'Doesn't mean I can't get to know more about him~.' Setsuna thinks while blushing a bit more.
Not long after this, an instructor to us all and one of the Sapphire Stars of Astrea had an offer for Izuku. Sig came and told Izuku he could use his lodge in the other hunter town of Seliana to give Izuku a chance to recuperate in the healing springs. And there was no way Izuku was going to be able to move in his condition. So, Ochaco and I invited ourselves along.
"Oh come ON! Now he gets to go on a hot springs trip with two hotties!?" Kaminari shouts at the injustice he saw. A few could imagine his other world self saying much the same. While the two green heads and one brunette were blushing again. And two of them only just regained consciousness.
Even though it's a sort of hot springs town, the bathing culture here is different from our own. So even when we all get in together, we are wearing bathing suit clothes while we relax. And it does help to take off at least a week for Izuku's recovery.
While Mineta and the other perverts pouted at the lack of nude bathing, the others found the winter realm of Seliana beautiful. "Okay, that would be a fun place to go to." Shoda says while the view panned to Gathering Hub, which had a massive hot spring pool, multiple foot baths and a large sauna. Most of the teens agreed as did the teachers.
One of the last few days we were there though, a huge blizzard blew in and made it almost too cold to sleep. Izuku at first had offered to let me and Ochaco use the bed. But we weren't letting him do that. And so, I find myself here. Trying to ease into sleep. While looking at the guy I've become enamored with.
Setsuna blushes before saying, "yeah I could see it. Though…. I wonder where this will lead~?" Bakugo scoffs before saying, "other than maybe accepting your feelings or whatever. Nothing. There's no way Deku will get laid in this lifetime."
A few people give him a look of scorn or saying that he was in no place to talk. "Especially since a few versions of you have probably had their own nuts broken. As we saw in the battle video." Mineta says with a smug look. One that get him blasted in the face, while Bakugo was raging and blushing.
(POV shift) Even though they were all still dressed they could feel each other fairly intimately. Izuku noticing more of how ample both girls' chests were, as well as how nice it felt with both of them against him. For the girls, Setsuna was gently feeling up Izuku's abs, while Ochaco had a hand on his pecs. All three were blushing, but they didn't say anything at first.
Aside from the three in question, a few other teens were also blushing or covering their faces in embarrassment. Ida looked like he wanted to advise them against anything immoral, but he was too red faced to think of where to start.
The teachers though were considering maybe having a sex ed course earlier than normal. While Mirio had taken it upon himself to cover Eri's eyes, and Tamaki covered her ears. All the while Nejire is squealing and questioning what could happen with her trio of juniors.
As they were starting to relax into each other, both girls hand went lower and then blushed even more. Though not as much as Izuku, who had turned as red as a tomato. Both girls looked up at him and had small smiles each. "Well, it is flattering to know you definitely are interested." Setsuna said with a teasing smirk.
All the teens blushed a bit at that. With Izuku completely unconscious. And despite his frustrations at the situation, Mineta was intrigued at what they could hope to see. "She wants the D. So maybe they'll exchange-" Before he could finish saying anything, Tsuyu smacked him with her tongue. And then Sero taped his mouth shut while quietly hoping they could see something good.
Izuku on the other hand is trying to come up with an excuse, but then both girls get up a bit and kiss him again. The only kiss him before Ochaco says, "I know we're being selfish Izuku. But both of us do really care for you. And not just physically. Neither of us were going to ask for an answer, but we do have one other thing to say to you. I don't think either of us would be opposed to all of us being together. What about you?"
"I know I don't mind. After all this time with Ocha, I've grown to see what you love about her. And don't deny it. I've seen some that look you give her. And she has caught you looking at me the same way. So. What do you say?"
"Yeah there is no way he's going to deny them. Right? I don't know, maybe he's gay? Nah, not with all of those reactions. I wonder if we'll get to see some of…. Well we all know." The three conscious perverts and Sero were thinking this aloud. So most of them got smacked a few ways.
Izuku had somewhat regained consciousness but hearing the words of the other Setsuna and Ochaco made him blush again. Though not fully in embarrassment. It was also because he was wondering if there could be something for him with the two in his world as well.
Mina, Toru, Pony, and Kinoko though were covering their faces and peeking through in excitement. "Oh I wonder if Midori will take the lead? Maybe it'll just be the girls. Or him and a girl on the other girl?"
Izuku isn't sure what to think about all of this matter. But he does know where his feelings lead. He has liked Ochaco since about the entrance exam, but over the weeks of working intimately with Setsuna his feelings had grown for her as well. And even though he doesn't know what to say, he knows what his instincts are telling him to do. He grabs them both and pulls them into a tight hug, before kissing both of them. No more words are exchanged during the night. But plenty of other actions tell all.
"NOOOOOOOO!" is what is shouted out by a third of the audience as they see a few clothes removed before the screen pulled away. Ida and Ibarra meanwhile had passed out while muttering 'shameless!' or 'outrageous!' while on the floor. Midnight though licks her lips while wondering if they'll see anything else.
When Izuku woke up the next morning, he was sore, but it wasn't due to his injuries. As he sat up and saw both Setsuna and Ochaco resting beside him, he blushed as he thought back on what they had done during the night.
Mineta had ripped off the tape before saying, "you….. bastard! Why can't we have any of your luck!?" Kaminari and Kosei agree, while Sero noticed Setsuna blushing as hard as Ochaco and Izuku. So, he began shaking the green teen to ask for his secrets.
And all of them are knocked out with chops, tongues, metal hands, or triple fists. While each of the attackers is blushing hard as well.
He slips out of bed and gets his pants back while feeling out how his injured extremities had healed. After putting on a shirt, he decided to start making some breakfast. All the while his thoughts were swimming. "Well, I'm not complaining about you being able to move again. Let alone that it seems like you're making breakfast." I turn and see Setsuna sitting up and holding the covers over her chest.
"I agree with the other me~. Any chance you know how to cook as well? Midori~?" Setsuna says while still blushing and sauntering over to Izuku. Who just gulps while trying to stammer out something. Only for the lizard girl to get pushed and pulled back by Shihai and Dark Shadow. "Let's give him some space okay you horny lizard?" Dark Shadow says with a raised eyebrow.
Ochaco had started to awaken too. Only for her to duck back under the covers when she thinks about what they all did during the night. Once her partners coax her out of bed, they enjoy a meal together. At least until she rips the band aid off. "So where do we go from here?" she asks while looking between Izuku and Setsuna. And the screen cuts to black.
"Aw come on! Again? Well, it's not like we got closure with the other stories. Maybe we'll get to see those stories later?" the teens say while the screen is black. The teachers all nod and agree with some wondering if there would be other strange stories they'd be seeing next. Their thoughts were answered as the screen lit up to show a few strange variations of their world.
One had an older looking Izuku dressed as an officer with a strange manacle on his arm. But he was getting saluted by police and heroes alike. Another had the boy playing with some kind of funny tablet. Showing images of monsters with powers. And the last two shown were ones with Izuku having a weird white dragon beside him and one where he seemed to be firing some type of energy from his hands.
"Okay that was kinda weird." Bondo mentions with a tilt of his head. The others agree and wonder what the other Izukus were going to get themselves into with the next few multiverses.
Sorry for the length and some folks but I just wanted to maybe entice some other readers to checking out my other stories. While the next few will be some new and old ideas for other fanfictions. Which much like Soul of a Hero, Azur Heroes, and Jaegers did.
That and I'm a little stuck with Heroes to Hunters. I know about where I want to go, but I'm still trying to get to that next stage in my mind. Anyway, I hope you all didn't mind this look into some of the romance bits I wrote into my stories. Please review!
