Challenge 2 (Part 2): If Tenma turned into a Five-Year-Old

Previously,

"Are there any other things that happened after this, other than the others, like when you guys went to wake Tenma up?" Kageyama asked.

The ones that went to wake up Tenma last Sunday remembered what happened.

"Well, there was something that happened," Tsurugi said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Third POV:

"What is it?" Sangoku asked.

The ones that remember stayed silent and looked at each other.

Then Aoi looked at Sangoku and said, "Well, last Sunday, when we went to wake Tenma up, we heard someone crying. Turns out it was, Tenma."

The ones that didn't know were shocked. It was rare for Tenma to cry.

"Why?" Kageyama asked.

"He seemed to have some kind of nightmare, we don't know the rest," Shindou said feeling worried about Tenma.

Akira then appeared out of nowhere and said, "That's why you guys will be reacting to Tenma's past."

This caught everyone by surprise, causing some to jump.

"Will you stop appearing out of nowhere?!" Kariya shouted.

"Nope, can't be helped," Akira said with a troll face.

"Just a question, you said we will be reacting to Tenma's past right?" Aoi asked.

"Yeah, but, the rest of your friends and others will also be watching. Since this room is too small, I will just teleport you guys to a bigger one as well as the others," Akira said.

"But who would watch over Tenma while all of us are there," Shindou asked.

"Don't worry, me and miss Aki will watch over him. I will never harm a child," Akira said with a reassuring smile.

Before anyone could say anything, Akira clapped her hands together and everyone but her got teleported to a different room, much larger than the other one. Then suddenly, all their friends from Raimon, Fei, Wondebat, Shuu, Galaxy eleven, as well as Otonashi-sensei, and the coaches appeared and were confused about where they are.

"Where are we?" Fei asked.

"Minna," Shindou said.

"Shindou, what just happened, just a few seconds ago, we were in the dorms," Nishiki asked.

"Wait a minute, where is Tenma," Coach Endou asked.

Everyone but the ones that reacted to the video eyed around the room.

"He's in the dorms with that girl name Akira," Tsurugi said, making everyone look at him and the others.

"Who is Akira?" Shuu asked.

"A girl with purple hair, blue headphones, also the one that teleported all of us here," Shinsuke said.

"And also, she turned Tenma into a five-year-old," Tsurugi said.

The ones that didn't know about the situation were very shocked.

"Wait, teleport, being able to change someone's age, is she a SSC?!" Fei exclaimed.

"I don't know, she said she isn't, but if she isn't, what is she?" Kidou said.

"Well, I won't tell you what I really am, but for a matter a fact, I'm not fully human," someone said.

Everyone turned to where the voice came from. There they saw Akira, sitting on a purple floating platform.

"So you must be Akira," Shuu said.

"What are we doing here?!" Kusaka shouted.

"Calm down, I'm not here to harm any of you," Akira said, and then she jumped down, landing on her feet. The platform then disappeared.

"I brought all of you here to watch something," Akira added.

Before anyone could say something, Akira interrupted, " And no, it's not for hypnotizing any of you."

"So, what is this video you are gonna show us," Matatagi asked.

"Well, specifically, it a specific past of someone you guys know," Akira said, "specifically. Tenma's past."

This shocked the ones that weren't told yet.

"Anyways, you guys should take a seat, I will go now to watch over your friend, see ya," Akira said and immediately disappeared before anyone could as any questions.

"I guess we have to watch it," Fei said.

Everyone sat down and the tv turned on.

The screen showed the title and reminder. This video contains deaths, bullying, and abuse, continue at your own risk.

This shocked everyone, that confused everyone and had their thoughts running.

The first scene shows a playground during a a sunny day. I then showed the bird's eyes view of the playground and there were five kids, all boys. Three of them were the bullies who were older than the two. One of them had white fade to blue hair with a black streaks, the other had brown fade to blue hair, and the last one had red fade to a darker red hair. The other two kids are in front of them, one of them on the ground beaten up , he had black hair, and the other was infront of that kid, seemingly defending the other kid. The kid defending had chestnut brown hair, metallic blue eyes, he was wearing a blue and white t-shirt, and gray and white shorts.

"Tenma?" Everyone said in their mind.

Tenma stood infront of the kid that got bullied.

"Leave him alone," Tenma said.

"Or what?" the boy with brown and blue hair asked.

Tenma didn't know what to say, so he just kept quiet.

"Look loser, stay out of this, unless you want to get hurt," the boy with white fade to blue hair threatened and collided his fist with each other, thinking it would make Tenma be scared enough to run.

Tenma was scared but didn't run. Instead, he continued to stay in the same spot to defend the other kid.

"I won't let you hurt him, it isn't right," Tenma said.

"Oh, trying to act tough huh?" the red-haired boy said and then grinned, "well then, your asking for it."

Just as he was saying that, he charged and his fist ready to punch. Tenma's eyes widened with shock and before he could react, he saw the fist about to collided with his face. The screen then went black.

"Tenma," Aoi said with he hands over her mouth, shocked about what happened.

Everyone was shocked and concerned.

"Tenma was bullied before?" that is what some of the others were thinking.

The screen turned back to normal and it showed the three bullies are in front of Tenma, while Tenma was beaten up.

"Man your so weak," the boy with brown fade to blue hair.

"Next time, think twice before messing with us," the boy with red hair said.

Everyone was kinda angry and were worried about Tenma.

"How dare they?!" some of the boys said and Midori said in their minds.

The three bullies then left, the boy with black hair then went to Tenma to check on him as Tenma was trying to get up.

"Are you alright?" he asked as Tenma finally managed to stand back up.

"Hai, I'll be fine," Tenma said with a smile, "What about you?"

"Y-yeah, arigato," the other boy said with a sympathetic smile, "I got to get home now, thanks again."

The boy ran off, leaving Tenma alone standing in the playground. Tenma then went back home. When he arrived his parents heard the door open.

"Oh, welcome back Ten-" Tenma's mother said as she turned around to see him. But she couldn't finish cause she was shocked to see Tenma covered in wounds. Tenma's father came downstairs and just a he was about to greet Tenma home, his eyes also widened when he saw him covered in wounds.

Tenma's mother immediately went to him and checked on him while his father went to get the medkit.

"Tenma, what happened?" Tenma's mother asked.

"I just fell down the stairs, I'm fine mom," Tenma said with a smile.

"Why would he lie?" Tenma's friends said in their minds.

"You should be careful next time Tenma," Tenma's mother said still feeling worried about her son.

Tenma's father came back with the medkit and they went to the couch. Tenma's mother aided his wounds.

"What happened son, did someone beat you up?" Tenma's father said feeling concerned and he seemed like he wanted to teach the person that hurt Tenma a lesson.

"His father is a little overprotective," Some of them said in their minds and did a Frisk face (-_-).

"No one hurt me father, I just fell down the stairs. I'm alright," Tenma said with a smile in the last phrase.

"Are you sure?" Tenma's father asked.

"Hai," Tenma said with a smile.

"Alright, well, dinner is not ready yet. You should go finish your homework Tenma," Tenma's mother said.

"Hai!" Tenma said with a smile.

Tenma then went to his room and his parents smiled. After Tenma finished, he went downstairs and saw his father reading. He went to him and slightly tugged his sleeve. Tenma's father noticed and put down the book.

"What is it buddy?" Tenma's father asked.

"Well, can I please go play outside?" Tenma asked.

"You sure you? your pretty injured" Tenma's father asked being concerned.

"I am alright dad," Tenma said with a smile.

Tenma's father sighed and said, "Alright, but be careful."

"Hai! arigato," Tenma replied with a smile and got ready as Tenma's father smiled.

Tenma grabbed his soccer ball and went outside.

"He never changes," Everyone said in their thoughts.

Tenma practices dribbling and after fifteen minutes, Tenma accidentally messed up and fell, making the ball roll away.

"Oof," was in Kariya's thought.

The ball rolled to someone's feet and stopped. Tenma got up and looked for the ball. He then saw his soccer ball at someone's feet. He looked at the three and realized they were his other bullies.

"I have a bad feeling about this," everyone said in their minds.

"Well look who we have here," one of the bullies said.

"O-oh, hey guys, could you please pass me the ball," Tenma said hesitantly.

"Oh, sure. Here," another bully said then kicked the ball and hit Tenma in the gut, causing him to fall onto the ground.

"How dare he!" Midori exclaimed as she stood up.

"Midori, please sit down," Akane said.

Midori listened and sit back down, still angry about what happened.

The bullies laughed and one of them said, "You're so pathetic."

"Hey! leave my son alone!" They heard someone shout, it was Tenma's father.

"Yeah, you tell them!" Some of the boys said in their minds.

The bullies ran and Tenma's father went to his son to help him.

"You alright son?" Tenma's father asked.

"H-hai," Tenma replied.

"Come, let's go to the house," Tenma's father said and brought him home. Tenma's mother then aided Tenma's wound.

"Son, how long have they've been picking on you?" Tenma's father asked, but Tenma was still silent.

"Tenma, please tell us," Tenma's mother said in a gentle tone.

Tenma was hesitant, but he manages to say, "ever since the first day I enrolled."

"Ever since he entered school?!" Was what everyone had in mind.

Tenma's parents were shocked and felt bad for him, so they hugged him.

"Don't worry Tenma, we'll be here when you need us," Tenma's mother said with a smile.

Tenma smiled back and hugged his parents.

"This is so wholesome," The girls said in their minds.

Two weeks later, Tenma and his parents were walking their way back home, they are currently waiting for the light to turn green so they could cross. When it did Tenma had a head start and started running, but little did he know there was a car coming it's way. Tenma's mother noticed and ran to save her son.

"Tenma!" she called out.

This caught Tenma by surprise and his eyes widened as he saw the car. A crash was then heard and the screen went black.

Everyone in the room had their eyes widen. They were worried about what might have happened.

"I hope he is alright," was in everyone's minds.

The screen then turned back on and it showed Tenma was safe, he opened his eyes and then it widened with shock. There on the ground was his mother who was bleeding.

Everyone had their eyes widen with shock.

"She saved him," Was in Shuu's thoughts.

The driver came out and called the ambulance. Tenma ran to her and lightly shook her.

"Mother," he said and started to cry.

In the hospital, Tenma and his father were waiting outside. Tenma seemed traumatized. Then a man barged in, he had brown hair and blue eyes.

"Who is he?" the same question lingered in everyone's mind.

"What happened to my sister?!" He asked concerned.

"That is her brother?" everyone said in their mind.

Tenma's father stood and explained what happened. After the explanation, Tenma's uncle saw Tenma and went to him. He then slapped him.

Everyone's eyes widened and some got angry.

"So it was your fault you little brat!" he shouted, "If it wasn't for you, this wouldn't have happened!"

Tenma already had tears and was scared.

"It wasn't my son's fault," Tenma's father defended Tenma.

The doctor then came out, making the two stop and look at him.

"How is she doc?" Tenma's father asked.

"She is alright for now. But she only has three weeks to live, I am sorry," The doctor said.

Everyone was upset about the news. So everyday Tenma and his father visited Tenma's mother and her brother would visit after them. When the day Tenma's mothers died, they visited her funeral. One day, after the funeral, a knock was on the door, Tenma's father opened the door and it was Tenma's mother's brother.

"It's him," everyone said in their thoughts.

"Why are you here?" Tenma's father asked.

"I came here to apologize for what I did. And, is it alright if I stay here for a bit?" Tenma's uncle said.

"Alright, but you have to apologize to my son directly for slapping him," Tenma's father said.

"I will don't worry," Tenma's uncle said with a smile.

Everyone had a bad feeling about this, they didn't trust Tenma's uncle one bit.

Tenma's father let him in and Tenma's uncle went inside.

"I will call my son, hold on," Tenma's father said, "Tenma come here!"

Tenma went downstairs and was shocked to see his uncle, he got kinda scared.

"Don't worry buddy, he is not here to harm you. Your uncle has something to say to you," Tenma's father said.

"Hey, I am sorry for what I did in the hospital. I was just upset that my sister got hurt, I hope you can forgive me," Tenma's uncle said.

"He is very sus," everyone said in their minds.

"It's alright uncle," Tenma said with a smile.

They spent a few minutes together, then Tenma's father had to go to work. He said goodbye and left. Tenma's uncle then locked the door and chuckled.

"Uncle?" Tenma asked.

"Did you really think I was here to apologize to a mistake like you?" Tenma's uncle said with an evil smile and he looked at Tenma.

"U-uncle, you're scaring me," Tenma said as he backed up until he hit the wall.

"I will make you suffer for the pain my sister went through," Tenma's uncle said as he went to Tenma.

Tenma's uncle grabbed Tenma's arm and brought Tenma to the basement. He closed the door and started hurting Tenma.

"How dare he?" Was what everyone was thinking.

After two hours, he stopped and Tenma was on laying down on the floor.

"It's your fault I lost my sister, so you deserve this," Tenma's uncle said and then left the basement, making sure to lock the door.

Tenma's uncle cleaned up and put pillows under Tenma's blanket to make it look like he was sleeping. Tenma's father then came back home from work.

"Welcome back Aither (Yes I am officially calling Tenma's dad by this name)," Tenma's uncle said.

"Hello there, where is Tenma?" Aither asked.

"Oh, he is upstairs sleeping," Tenma's uncle replied with a fake smile which wasn't obvious.

"What a liar," Kurama said.

"Well it's a good thing," Aither said and he put down his bag.

Aither went to his room and changed into his casual clothes. He went to check on Tenma and went to his son's room. He went to the bed and put his hand on his 'son'. But realized something was wrong, he removed the blanket and saw pillows.

"Nani?" Aither said in his mind and looked around the house. When he went to the basement, his eyes widened with shock to see Tenma beaten up on the floor.

"Tenma!" Aither called out and ran to him.

"How could I be so blind?! I should have known he was bad news," Aither said in his mind.

Aither called an ambulance and the police. After the call was over he held Tenma.

"Tenma, please wake up," Aither said as he held his son in his arms.

Everyone was very worried about their friend and hoping Tenma was alright.

Tenma moans in pain and opens his eyes. Aither was relieved that his son was alright.

"Don't move son, help will arrive soon," Aither said.

"I should have known you would find out," the two heard someone said, they looked at the door and saw Tenma's uncle, he had a knife in his hand.

"How dare you hurt my son!" Aither said as he stood up and faced Tenma's uncle.

"Just consider this as revenge," Tenma's father said with a smile.

"I won't let you hurt him any further," Aither said and got ready to fight.

"We'll see about that," Tenma's uncle said as he got ready to fight.

The two adults fought each other for minutes, Aither was trying to stall until the police arrive. But then, Aither got stabbed in the heart and then Tenma's uncle kicked him, causing him to get sent back and fall to the ground.

Everyone in the rooms was shocked by what happened, they didn't know what to say.

Tenma's uncle smirked while Tenma was traumatized and was crying. Even though he was injured, he stood up and ran to his father.

"Father," Tenma said as he shook his father, but no response. Tenma cried more, not moving away from his spot.

"Tenma, get out of there!" everyone was screaming in their minds.

Tenma's uncle lifted his knife up, ready to stab Tenma. But then, the sound of something breaking interrupted. Policemen broke down the basement door and aimed their guns at Tenma's uncle.

"Freeze, don't move," one of the police officers said.

Tenma's uncle put his hands up in the air and dropped his weapon. They arrested him and brought Tenma and his father to the hospital. They told Tenma that his father didn't make it, causing Tenma to cry.

"Poor Tenma, he lost both of his parents," Everyone said in their minds while feeling very bad for Tenma.

Then someone went in the room, it was someone Tenma hasn't seen before. She has short dark green hair and has brownish-green eyes.

"Aki/Aki-san," Was what the ones that knew her said in their minds.

"Hello there, you must be Tenma," Aki said with a smile.

"H-hai," Tenma replied, "Who are you ma'am?"

"I am Kino Aki, I am your relative," Aki replied with a smile.

Tenma then remembered his mother told him about her.

"I heard about what happened, I am sorry for your loss," Aki said as she went to him.

Tenma had his head down and didn't reply. All of a sudden, Tenma felt someone hug him, it was Aki.

"But, don't worry, I will be here when you need me alright," Aki said with a smile as she hugged Tenma. Her words reminded Tenma of something so he slightly cried and hugged her back.

"Thank you, Aki-nee," Tenma said with a smile as he continued hugging her back.

After Tenma recovered, he moved to Inazuma town and lived with Aki for years. As days went by, everything was alright, this continued leading to the present time.

~Video ends~

"I feel so bad for him, but I am glad he is safe here," Aoi said and everyone agreed.

Everyone then got teleported back to the dorms and when they are there, they saw Tenma sleeping on the couch and on Aki's lap while Akira was on the couch. She was smiling at Tenma and then she saw the others.

"Oh, I see you guys finished watching," Akira said.

"Yeah," Shindou said.

"How is he?" Aoi asked.

"He is alright, he is just resting after playing soccer with Akira," Aki said with a reassuring smile, 

"I did say me and miss Aki would watch over him while you guys are watching,"

"I know, it must be hard taking it in what you guys watched," Akira said.

"So, when is Tenma gonna turn back to normal?" Sakura asked.

"Tomorrow, after you guys eat breakfast," Akira said.

"Just a question, how do we go back to our homes?" Wondeba asked.

"Plus it's very dark," Konoha added.

"Don't worry, I will teleport you guys by tomorrow after I turn Tenma back to normal. In the mean time, you guys can stay in the dorms, there is still a lot of rooms that aren't being used," Akira said with a reassuring smile.

"That's good to hear," Fei said with a smile.

Tenma then wakes up and yawns. Akira smiled and adored the cuteness. The girls were in aw at the cuteness and the others find it cute.

"I see your awake Tenma," Endou said.

"Hai," Tenma said with a smile.

"Well, I have to go now, I have something to do in my homeland," Akira said as she got up from the couch. She then made a portal, "I'll see you guys tomorrow."

"Ok, bye Akira-san," Tenma said.

"Bye Akira," Aki said with a smile.

Everyone said goodbye to each other and Akira then entered the portal. It then disappears. The rest of the night, they ate dinner and talked to each other. They then got ready for bed and went to the rooms. Aki went to the room beside Tenma's so that she could be with him when needed.

~The next day~

Everyone was already awake and ate breakfast. They are currently in the living room when Akira then appeared.

"Hey everyone, I see you guys are up," Akira said.

"Hai!" 

"So you are gonna turn Tenma back to normal?" Kidou asked.

"Hai!" Akira replied with a smile, "The challenge is over anyways."

Akira clapped and purple smoke appeared around Tenma. Then when it disappeared Tenma was back to normal.

"What happened?" Tenma asked.

"A lot of stuff actually," Shindou replied.

Tenma then notices Fei and the others and smiled.

"Ohayo minna," Tenma said.

"Ohayo," the others greeted.

"Just so you guys know, there is a teleporter machine for you guys to go back in the room there," Akira said as she pointed to the direction of the room, "Here Fei."

Akira then throws Fei a device and he caught it.

"What is this?" Fei asked.

"Its a device you can use to go to any time you want so you could visit here," Akira said with a smile.

"Arigato," Fei said with a smile.

"Anyways, I got to go now, bye," Akira said and then disappeared.

"So, can you guys tell me what exactly happened. Cause I don't remember," Tenma asked.

They explained to Tenma the events that happened except for the videos and when they knew about his wounds in the past, that would be another time. Tenma then blushed in embarrassment. Soon they said their goodbyes and Shuu and everyone from Galaxy and Chrono stone went back to their homes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know when them reacting to the video is pretty lazy, but don't worry, I will rewrite that some other time. TwT

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed reading it and I hope you guys have a good day/night. Stay safe everyone! :D
