The Unexpected
I think we're all sharing the same thought right now, right? Cry has made a terrible mistake giving Mahoro and Katsuma those pagers. Specifically to Mahoro. She's gonna want to break the poor boy. Oh, he'll be feeling it real soon. And, it's nice to have a check up on Queen and her investigation on the new villain group runnin' around and stealing quirks. Only, at this point, I think it's gonna be hard to find them. If you've seen the movie, or if you just look at the image above, then i'm sure you can guess what's coming real soon. And with that, let's get back into the story! Enjoy!
-POV: Cry-
The next morning came around in no time at all. However, I was actually outside already because I just couldn't get any sleep at all. I guess the rush of adrenaline the night before from the mention of a villain kept me awake. So, I spent my time training out front of the agency.
"This time..... this time, for sure....." I said, rather exhausted at this point as i'd try over and over again to make one successful portal. But, after over 300 attempts, yes I did lose count, I still had no luck whatsoever.
"Focus...... just.... focus..... breath in..... breath out...." I spoke to myself as I closed my eyes, took in a deep breath and just imagined blackness in my mind. Then, the still blackness turned into a portal with my destination within its ring.
"Take me home..... take me..... to my parents...." I said as I could hear the portal appearing in front of me. I then opened my eyes and walked towards it. I put my head through and prayed that it finally worked. But..... like all the times before, it didn't work. When I stuck my head through, it ended up underwater so I quickly pulled it out and closed up the portal.
"I'm never gonna get this right....." I sulked as I went over to a nearby picnic table and picked up a towel to dry my hair and face with. This wasn't the first time during this practice that I ended up underwater.
"I just don't get it..... what am I doing wrong....?" I questioned as I then saw something move out of the corner of my eye. I looked over to the corner of the agency and saw Katsuma peering around it at me.
"It's okay, you can come out from over there. Sit down." I told him as he gave me a nod and then came over to sit with me at the picnic table.
"So, is there something you needed? Is your sister around?" I asked him with a cheery attitude.
"She's at that playground from yesterday. I told her i'd be right back. And I, uh..... i'm..... i'm very sorry about yesterday...." Katsuma said as he lowered head head a bit.
"You came to apologize to me? Well, look at you! You're a good kid, that's for sure. But, you really didn't have to come all the way out here to say that. You don't have to apologize to me." I told him as he just shook his head.
"I'm not just apologizing to you. I came to apologize to that other hero too." Katums told me as I knew he meant Monoma.
"Well, alright then. I'll let him know you're sorry. Is there anything else on your mind you want to tell me?" I asked him as he nodded.
"I think you should know this. It's about my sister. She hates heroes...." Katsuma told me as I became curious now.
"Well, I sort of had that thought in my mind after the scolding she gave me yesterday..." I jokingly said with a chuckle.
"She says if a villain showed up, the heroes would be too scared and wouldn't come and rescue us. That's why we've been watching all you students. She think you all are just wasting your time..... but I..... I can...." Katsuma said as I felt like I knew what he was about to say.
"You trust us." I said as he gave me a nod.
"Yeah..... I watch you guys and..... I think it's really nice what you do for all of us..." He said to me as I noticed something familiar on the strap of his little yellow messenger bag.
"Hey, is that an Edgeshot badge on your strap there?" I said with an interested voice as he gave me a nod and a smile.
"Yeah, it is. He's one of my favourite heroes." Katsuma told me.
"Do you want to be a hero too?" I asked him.
"Yeah, but my quirk isn't really one a hero would use. And, my sister says it's dangerous to be a hero." Katsuma told me.
"Any quirk can be used for heroic deeds. And, I guess your sister isn't wrong. You see these?" I said, referring to my diamond arm and burned in handprint on my face.
"These are things that real villains have done to me." I told Katsuma as he looked at them with awe.
"Did you beat them?" He asked me.
"Well, the one who gave me the handprint, I was able to defeat but he got away. But, the one who took away my arm.... let's just say he's in a lovely cell in prison thanks to me." I told him as he grew a big smile.
"That's so cool, you faced real villains!" He said cheerfully as I smiled back at him.
"That's right. I've got a few more scars too from some other villains actually. Beat them as well. I do have a feeling your sister wouldn't believe me though. What do you think?" I jokingly asked him as he nodded.
"Probably not. Oh, that's right! I should get back to her so she doesn't get worried!" Katsuma said as I suddenly felt something vibrate in my pocket. I reached into one of my pockets and pulled out the pager.
"Seems like your sister wants to see me too." I told him as it was vibrating.
"Well, you did kinda promise us...." Katsuma said as I got up from the table.
"Alright, i'll be right back. Just gonna go change into my costume. Be back in a minute!" I said to him as I ran into the agency and over to my locker where I kept my costume. I pulled it out and slipped into it as fast as I could.
"What's the rush, Cry? We haven't even gotten any calls yet." Kendo asked me as she seemed to be the only other person up right now.
"We may not have gotten any here yet. But I've gotten one out there." I said as I held up my pager.
"Let me guess. It's those kids from last night?" She asked me.
"Yeah. Wait, how'd you know?" I asked her as I zipped up my costume.
"Monoma wasn't exactly quiet when he came back last night. And then you here, giving those kids a way to personally contact you. I find it cute." Kendo said to me as I slipped into my boots.
"I made a promise to them last night. And, you know me, can't break my promises." I told her as I went to leave the building.
"Wait, hold on." She said as I stopped and turned back to her.
"Mind if I come along? I wanna see what's got you so interested in these kids." Kendo said to me as I just shrugged my shoulders and gave me a nod.
"Yeah, sure. Don't think either will mind very much." I said as Kendo grabbed her mask from her personal desk and strapped it over her face. She was already in her costume.
"Well then, let's not keep them waiting." Kendo said as we both left the agency and met back up with Katsuma.
"Sorry about that, little guy. I'm all set now. And, I've brought along a friend too. Now, let's go find your sister." I said to him as he looked up to Kendo. The two shared some smiles.
"So, you're the little fellow that Cry here's been talking about lately. And what's your name?" Kendo asked him as she held out her right hand.
"Katsuma...." He said as he shook her hand.
"Well, Katsuma, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Kendo." She introduced herself as I felt my pager vibrate again.
"Uh oh. I think someone's starting to get impatient." I told them as they both actually agreed. We then left and headed off to the park I met the two kids at yesterday. It wasn't a very far walk, just a few minutes down the road. When we arrived, Mahoro stood next to the slide with her arms crossed an her typical pouty face all over her.
"It's about time you got here!! You kept me waiting!" She shouted, clearly at me as her glare was locked on me.
"Yeah, i'm sorry, Mahoro. Had to change into my costume before I came." I told her as she then looked to Kendo. She gave her the same glare she gave me.
"You're that girl who can make her hands big, right? Why'd you come?" Mahoro asked her.
"Because I wanted to meet you guys. If Cry has a reason to like you, then you guys must be real special." Kendo said as Mahoro just turned her head away from her.
"Well whatever! You're here now, so let's go!" Mahoro said as she marched right past us.
"Uh, wait. Where are we going?" I asked her.
"We're going to the tiny beach near our home! You two are our private escorts! Now, chop chop!" Mahoro said as Katsuma ran after her. Kendo then looked at me with a bit of an unamused look on her face.
"Did I really agree to this?" She sarcastically asked me.
"Never know, it might be fun. Come on. Don't really wanna keep her waiting any longer than she has been." I whispered back to Kendo as we followed the two kids.
We walked a few kilometres, going past the agency, then into the farm land until we passed the kids' home. And after we passed it, we could see the beach Mahoro was referring to. It was incredibly small, maybe only big enough to fit a couple families on.
"Alright, we're here! Now do something amazing, heroes." Mahoro said with a bit of venom in her tone as she shot us a look again. Kendo just looked at me and gestured for me to go forward.
"By all means, Shifter. The stage is yours." She said as she took a step back to watch.
"How do you two feel about going underwater?" I asked them as Katsuma grew a big smile, while Mahoro grew her pouty face again.
"Do I look like i'm wearing a swim suit!? What kind of a dumb question is that?" Mahoro sucked as I just chuckled a bit.
"Ah, but I never said we'd be going swimming now, did I?" I said to her as she then gave me a more curious look.
"Okay, now you've lost me." She said as I stepped forward, took off my boots and then stepped into the very edge of the water.
"Watch this." I said as I activated my quirk, keeping my right hand straight out flat with the fingers pressed together.
"Water...... Channel!" I spoke as I then spread my fingers apart and caused the water to separate a bit as it literally turned into a tunnel underneath the surface of the ocean.
"Woah! So cool!" Katsuma said with great joy as Mahoro just had a look of awe in her eyes.
"Ready to go?" Kendo asked her as she stepped up too and took off her boots.
"Yeah, uh...... I guess so...." Mahoro said as she and Katsuma then took off their sandals. We all walked into my tunnel, walking along the sand beneath the water as we went deeper and deeper until we came to a flat level about 50ft below the surface.
"Amazing...." Katsuma said as we walked over and through a beautiful coral reef, filled to the brim with colourful fish.
"I've never seen so many fish up close before!" Mahoro said with happiness in her voice as she went over to the edge of the tunnel. Only, she quickly found out the edges weren't solid as her hands went right through and into the ocean. She quickly pulled them back in though and shook off the water.
"I've gotta admit, this is probably in the top 5 of things you've made with your new quirk, Cry." Kendo said to me as she gave me a small nudge on my left arm.
"Thanks. I figured i'd give these two a show they've never seen before." I told her as a big shadow suddenly swam over top the tunnel.
"It's so big..... and look at all those teeth!" Mahoro said as a great hammerhead shark glided over us then down and along the tunnel. It was probably investigating us to see if we were food or not. If it got too close, it'd end up inside the tunnel, so I went up ahead and walked next to it in case I had to give it a push. But that rather large shark just swam off and into the distance.
"So, what kind of quirk is this? I thought yours made those weird portal things and the lightning, Cry?" Katsuma asked me.
"Well, my quirk can actually do a lot of things." I told him.
"And what exactly is your quirk? We've been watching all you U.A students for weeks now, but you're the only one we can't figure out. So, tell us. What is it?" Mahoro asked me.
"I actually haven't had this quirk for very long. So that's why you see me practicing with it so much, to try and master it. My quirk lets me control Reality. It essentially let's me do anything I want. The only catch is that I can create any organic materials, or create things directly from my own skin." I explained to them as both of their jaws might as well have dropped.
"So.... you..... you can literally make whatever you want, and it'll appear?" Mahoro asked me as I gave her a nod.
"Then make me and my brother some ice cream! I want butterscotch, and his favourite is Cookies n' Cream!" Mahoro said to me as I then looked back to Kendo.
"You want one too?" I asked her.
"Well, since you're making them some, I don't see why not. I'll take Mint Chip." She told me as I activated my quirk and snapped my fingers. And just like that, 4 ice cream cones appeared in midair, with each of us taking our own. I made French Vanilla for myself as it was my favourite.
"Actually, I change my mind. I want strawberry ice cream instead!" Mahoro said to me which made me laugh a bit. But I complied and used my quirk again. But, instead of making another cone, she watched as her butterscotch ice cream turned a pinkish colour. Turned one flavour into the other.
"Wow...." She said as she took a lick.
"It's so nice.... tasty..... and cold...." She said as she kept on licking, clearly enjoying it.
"I wish I had a quirk like yours, Cry...." Katsuma said as he was enjoying his ice cream a lot.
"It's honestly not as great as you'd think. It's pretty complicated to use. Like I said, i'm still learning to how to master it, after all." I said as we all continued down the tunnel, looking at all the amazing sites under the sea.
-10 Hours Later- -POV: Third Person-
While Cry and Kendo spent their day with Katsuma and Mahoro, the rest of class B spent their day as usual, taking calls from the citizens from the island and rushing out to assist them. The sun was beginning to go down, marking the end of the day was near. However, down at the main beach it was still as busy as ever.
Awase, Shiozaki, Tsubaraba, Yanagi, and Rin were all stationed here today. Awase acted as head lifeguard up in the lookout tower. Shiozaki was on patrol, keeping an eye out for swimmers and then using her vine quirk to catch people who'd stray too far from shore or go onto the rocky and no swimming zones. Tsubaraba was using his Solid Air quirk to make people surf and boogie boards. Yanagi was assisting with some food stands by helping them prep food and souvenirs. And Rin was busy making signs to indicate where it is and isn't safe to swim.
"Man, it's so hot out here....." Awase said as he actually taken off his bulky hero costume, now just in some shorts and a sleeveless t-shirt.
"Beach squad, beach squad, this is fishing squad, come in, over." Someone said over a walkie-talkie as Awase took it off a belt he was wearing.
"Fishing squad, this is beach squad, I hear you loud and clear, over." Awase replied. He recognized the voice as Honenuki's on the other end.
"Me, Kamakiri, and Tsunotori just got back from a successful day of angling. Got to keep a nice Tuna for us to cook up for dinner." Honenuki said.
"Alright! That's great! Any word from the other squads out there?" Awase asked him.
"Well, Komori's back out in the farm land growing more mushrooms. You know, the people say corn is typically the big thing for the upcoming harvest, but with her out there, i'd say this year it's definitely mushrooms." Honenuki responded.
"Tell me about it. Things are as busy down here as they always are. Hundreds of people, blazing sun." Awase said.
"Uh, sorry man, gonna have to cut you off for a second. We see some smoke not to far away. Looks like it's coming outside the factory in the harbor. Maybe a boat had one of its cranes malfunction?" Honenuki questioned as I heard him and his squad mates step outside the fish plant they were most likely filleting their fish is.
"Oh snap!! What the hell happened here!?" Honenuki shouted which made Awase worry as he looked off in the distance towards the harbor. He could see the smoke too, but it wasn't a singular cloud. There were tons of them.
"Talk to me, Honenuki! What's going on down there!?" Awase asked him rather concerned at this point.
"It's the ferry! It's broken through the waterbreaker and is completely turned over on one side! And all the fishing boats have been shredded to pieces!" Honenuki shouted with complete shock in his voice.
"What!? How'd that happen!? Alright, we'll send over some help!" Awase said as he then started to hear screaming coming down from the beach. He looked over the edge of his lookout tower and saw the citizens running away in one direction from something.
On the beach was something of a wolf man. He had blue fur, his hands looked like eagle talons, he had a crocodile tail, and he wore a light brown trench coat, with a grey shirt underneath, black pants, and dark brown and black boots. And, he had a cigar in his mouth.
"Might have to hold off on that help, Honenuki! We've got trouble over here too!" Awase said to him.
"We- n-n....ed..... ba....kup.... vi....lain....!" Honenuki tried to say as the signal was beginning to die for some reason.
"Honenuki!? Honenuki!!" Awase shouted but only got static now from his walkie-talkie. Awase decided to give up and slip back into his costume than slide down the towers ladder and rush over to see what all the concern was about.
The other 4 students stood in between this man beast thing and the citizens. Shiozaki was using her vines to assist people with evacuating by lifting them over to the main road and taking people out of the water.
"You guys are a little to young to be heroes, don't ya think?" The beast said to them as he stepped over to two boulders and effortlessly picked each up with just one of his hands. He then tossed them forward at the heroes.
"Since when are there villains on the island!?" Rin questioned as he created his scales on his arms, aiming his hands so he'd fired the scales at the boulders. He destroyed them with relative ease, but in the dust, the beast was able to close the distance with them.
"You're too careless!" The beast roared as he swung his talon hands at Rin who went to guard with his scaly arms. But the beasts talons were so sharp that he easily tore apart the scales and ripped up Rin's right arm, tearing a gash in his skin. Rin screamed from the pain as Tsuburaba stepped in between and blew out air from his mouth, creating a wall in between him and the beast.
"Back away, villain!" Yanagi said as she used her poltergeist quirk to make some boulders levitate. She then threw them at the beast but he simply reeled back his arms and demolished them with just one punch.
"Is this the best you've all got?" The beast questioned in a rather disappointed tone.
"I have yet to show you what I am capable of, creature. I will remove you from our presence!" Shiozaki said as she entered the fray and send hundreds of her vines at the beast. All of them coiled and wrapped around the beasts upper body, ensnaring it and stopping it from moving.
"Pathetic!" The beast shouted as it flexed its arms and snapped all the vines, freeing itself.
"That's impossible! Nothing should be strong enough to break the force of that many of my vines!" Shiozaki said in complete disbelief as Awase was coming up from behind to attack the beast.
"Don't forget about me, jerk!" Awase shouted as he reached out to use his quirk on the beast. But it quickly whipped one of its hands around and snatched Awase up by his neck, lifting him off the ground where he was pulled in front of the beasts face.
"Do you not see that I have a wolf's head? Gives me pretty good hearing. And the sound of someone stepping in the sand, like you were, is pretty loud to me. Knew you were there the entire time. Now, let's see how fast I can break your neck...." The beast said as it began to tighten its grip on Awase's neck. Awase screamed from the pain and raised his hands and grabbed onto the beasts hand and wrist.
"Not.... gonna...... happen!!!" Awase struggled to say, activated his quirk and causing his palms to act like blowtorches. He roasted the hand and wrist of the beast which made it roar from the pain and let go of him. Awase was dropped and then was pulled away by Shiozaki over to them.
"Little brat...." The beast said as its hand and wrist were smoking quite a lot. It was easy to see that attack hurt him a lot.
"Next time, don't be so careless, asshole." Awase said as he stood up and joined his classmates and what may become the most difficult battle they've ever fought.
-POV: Cry-
The sun was just beginning to set at this point in the day. Me and Kendo actually ended up having quite a good time with Katsuma and Mahoro. We spent quite a long time under the water in my tunnel until it was around the mid-afternoon. Then, the kids made us act for them. Actually, I should say Mahoro made us act for them. Katsuma didn't really care what we did since he basically enjoyed it all. She made us act out freakin' Star Wars scenes and it was awesome. Especially when someone(me) can make real life lightsabers and blasters that don't actually hurt you, just go through your body.
The 4 of us had a blast and it really seemed like we were getting to know these two kids much better than before. Mahoro even stopped shouting at us eventually, which was great! But, with the sun going down now, it was time to head back home. We did invite the kids to come with me and Kendo back to the agency though so we could treat them to dinner. Katsuma agreed but Mahoro was a little hesitant at first. However, after my display with the ice cream earlier, she agreed to come because I could just make her whatever she wants if she doesn't like whatever we're already cooking tonight.
"Still no response from anyone. They must all be busy." Kendo said as we were currently walking back through some farm land. She was trying to contact some of our friends with her cell phone but ended up reaching nobody at all.
"That's weird. I haven't gotten anyone either. Wait.... well, no kidding we can't reach anyone, the cell signal's out." I said as Kendo looked at her phone again and saw her signal was dead too.
"That's strange? It was fine just a minute ago." She said as Katsuma, who was sitting on my shoulders, looked down at my phone as well.
"It's never gone down before though. Is something wrong with the tower?" He questioned.
"Hey, look over there!" Mahoro suddenly shouted as she pointed off into the distance. We all looked and saw smoke rising high into the sky around where the port was.
"That's the city! Something must've happened!" Kendo said as I took Katsuma off my shoulders and put him gently on the ground.
"Sorry you two, but we've gotta go and see what's happening over there. We're close to your home, right? Go there right now. You'll be safe there." I told them as they gave me some nods. They went to run ahead but they came to a quick stop when we all saw someone walking down the path about 100ft in front of us.
It was a man, maybe a little over 6ft. tall. He had long white hair that reached down to his shoulders, and he wore a tattered white jacket with matching pants and black shoes. But, most distinctively was the fact this man was wearing some sort of black and purple metal mask that went from the top of his nose, all the way down his mouth, his neck, reaching down his chest, almost like armor. And, sticking out through the back of his jacket were two tubes filled with this purple liquid. I assumed that was an attachment of that mask he was wearing.
"At last, I've found you. Type B Cell Activation." The mysterious man said as he white eyes suddenly glowed yellow for a moment. Based on what he said, I knew he was talking about Katsuma. I walked up and stopped when I was right in front of the kids, Kendo joining me.
"And who are you supposed to be?" Kendo asked him, now sounding intimidating.
"Nothing of your concern. I'm just here for that boy and i'll be on my way." The man said to us as I cracked my neck a bit and then shot him a glare.
"What's with the face? There's no need to worry, i'm not going to kill him." The man said as he kept on approaching us.
"Not the point. It's clear you're going to do something to him, and we're not going to let you touch him." I said as the man quickly glanced at Kendo, making his eyes glow yellow again.
"Hmm, the ability to enlarge your hands? Interesting, but not something impressive either. And you...." The man said as he then glanced over to me, making his eyes glow yellow just like before.
"What is this? Your quirk levels are through the roof. You have an abnormality in your quirk gene." The man said as he took an extra long time analyzing me. I assumed this "scanning quirk" ability was, well, his quirk, meaning this guy shouldn't be too much of an issue to deal with.
"Yeah, that's what happens when you're a drug that destroys your quirk. Only, it had a different effect on me." I told the man.
"Interesting..... and your quirk is..... your quirk!? Reality in your fingertips! My, how strong and versatile it is!" The man said with a bit more glee in his voice as I began to create fire on my right hand.
"It's not as impressive as you think. Now, we'll give you one chance. Walk away, or we will be forced to get rough." I told him as the man raised up the fingers of his right hand and pointed them all at us. The tip of each one glowed purple and soon after, the man fired beams at us.
"Force field!" I shouted as I enclosed all 4 of us inside an energy barrier which the beams struck. They exploded on contact but thankfully, they didn't burst through. And when the smoke cleared, I dropped the force field and reignited my hand.
"Looks like he's picked the hard way. Kids, you might wanna take a few steps back. This may get rough." Kendo said to them, however, I was more concerned with something else. This man had more than one quirk! He can analyze others quirks and fire those beams from his fingers! He was like me before I lost my first quirk.
"Kendo, we've got bigger problems. This guy, he's got multiple abilities. And, I have a very bad feeling that he's got more than just the two we've seen up his sleeve." I told her as she agreed, enlarging her hands in preparation to fight this man.
"You truly have no idea. I will show you just what true fear is." The man said as his fingertips began to glow again.
"Joke's on you, we're not afraid of anything!" I shouted as I whipped my right hand forward and unleashed a quick burst of flames at the man. He lowered his arm as he seemed to become engulfed by my fire.
"Nice shot!" Kendo said as I thanked her. But the happy moment quickly dashed when the man came walking through the flames. He now had his right hand flat out facing us, creating a circular barrier to guard him from the fire.
"Like I said, you have no idea. But you will soon. Once that little boy's and your quirk become mine." The man said, looking at me as a deep fear suddenly rose from the depths within me.
"Did he just say...... when our quirks become..... his?" I thought as all I could think back to was when All for One stole several abilities from my original quirk. It was one of the worst experiences of my entire life, and one I would hope would never happen again.
"This man..... just who is he? And can he really have the same ability as..... All for One?" I questioned as it was clear he wasn't leaving until he got what he wanted. But, unlike before when I had my quirk stolen, I have someone by my side who will help me. With Kendo here, I have the confidence that we'll surely defeat whoever this man is.
