Chapter 26: Timequake!
(SCENE: RESTAURANT) (POV: 3RD PERSON)
In Japan, Izuku & Class 1B are seen enjoying a pleasant day away from school & work as they're eating a Sushi & Tempura platter.
The reason why they're eating Sushi & Tempura is because it's Oscar's favorite dish and they promise themselves that they will eat this dish in honor of Oscar. "Man, it's been 7 and a half months. I can't help but wonder what Oscar is doing right now." Monoma says.
"Yeah. I wish I knew too. But I'm sure he's okay, wherever he is." Kendo says with a sad tone to her voice as she looks at some clouds passing by. "Speaking of Oscar, anyone got anything about who framed him?" Ibara asks Izuku.
"Well, Nezu is trying to hack into the cameras in Oscar's dorm, but Oscar tweaked the cameras to be extremely resilient to hacking, so Nezu is having difficulties in accessing the camera's footage." Izuku explains as 1B got a bit sad at this. "But the good news is that he broke through most of the defenses and will probably have the footage within the hour." He says as the class perks up at this.
"That's great! Once he gets the footage, we'll prove Oscar's innocence!" Pony happily exclaims as the group chuckles at her. "We will. But remember our inside voices, Pony." Kendo says as Pony blushed a little in embarrassment and sit down. "Sorry." She apologizes as Izuku shakes his head. "Don't be. I'm equally excited to get our friend back and to have karma come to the ones who did this to him." Izuku says.
(SCENE CHANGE: CENTER OF TOWN) (TIMESKIP: AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER)
Once the class finished their platter, they decided to go on a walk around the town. Suddenly, Izuku's phone started going off.

(Izuku's phone's ringtone)
He pulls his phone and answers it. "Hello?" He asks as he hears Nezu's phone. 'Izuku, put your phone on speaker. 1B wants to hear this as well.' He orders as Izuku did so, noticing the seriousness in his voice. "Okay Nezu, you're on speaker phone." He says as the 1B turn their attention to Izuku's phone.
'Thank you. Now then, the reason I'm calling is because I broke through Oscar's firewalls and defenses. And I have found the proof we need to expose the real culprits & prove Oscar's innocence.' Nezu explains as everyone were speechless at this. 'I'm coping the footage and downloading them in secure servers, just in case. But get here quickly and we'll review the footage together.' He says.
"Of course, we'll be there. Just make sure nothing happens to that footage." Izuku says as he hang up on Nezu. "Come on. We need to go, rules be damned." He says as he and Class 1B were about to bolt back to UA when a suddenly tornado of sand appeared in the center of town, stopping them from rushing away.
The people were in a panic as nearby heroes rushed to the scene. "Everyone evacuate! Let the heroes handle this!" Orders a random male Hero with the appearance of a anthropomorphic rhinoceros as the civilians did just that.
Izuku & 1B didn't know what to do, but their thoughts were turn towards two heroes approaching them, a male and a female & both donning similar costumes.
"I know you guys. You all are UA Students. We're the Water Hose Duo. I'm Sawada and this is my wife, Kazumi." The male, now known as Sawada, introduced himself & his wife. "Nice to meet you two, but I think we know about this tornado and we can explain afterwards, but we want to help and want you two to allow us to." Izuku explains as the two looked at each other with uncertainty looks.
"Please. You guys will need all the help you guys can get if this becomes ugly." Kendo says as the Water Hose Duo were still uncertain, but they reached their conclusion. "Okay. You all can help, but just be careful." Kazumi says as they nod their heads at this.
The Duo, Izuku & 1B joins the heroes as the tornado suddenly split into two. "Everyone, I think somethings coming out of the tornadoes!" Exclaims a random female Hero with eyes all over her body. Everyone looked and as it turns out she's right as they can see several shadows in the tornadoes.
However, upon a harder look, Izuku realizes what's going on. "Not something, it's someones! We've got company!" Izuku exclaims as everyone enters a battle stance in case a battle would take place. Suddenly, people, around the age of 18, started emerging from the tornado, some looking identical to others and both sides having large warriors at their sides, one dressed in Aztec inspired armor & the other in metal spiky armor.
Once the tornadoes died down, everyone was in dead silent. One of the newcomers, a person whose body is covered in blue paint and dons Aztec armor, steps forwards as he looks at another newcomers, one in armor and donning a skull mask/helmet.
"Shao Kahn?" The Aztec asks in disbelief as the other newcomer turns to him in equal disbelief. "General Kotal?" He asks. "Kotal Kahn." The Aztec corrects as the skull masked newcomer scoffs at this. "Kahn? Pathetic fool! You pretend to my throne!" Shao Kahn proclaims.
"It is mine! By right and deed. You were killed long ago, as was your disgrace of a general, Reiko!" Kotal Kahn exclaims as Shao Kahn appears to be confused by this. "What are you babbling about? Earthrealm was within my grasps and I was close to killing that thunder god!" Shao Kahn exclaims while pointing to the newcomer in a cone like hat.
"That was 27 years ago, Shao Kahn. We are beyond that." Says a shirtless man in martial artist jeans, shocking Shao Kahn greatly. "Impossible!" He exclaims as he turns to the cone hat person. "What games are you & the Gods playing, Raiden?!? What magic powers this delusion?!?" Shao Kahn demanded to know.
"If it is a delusion, then it is one we all share. Perhaps the past and the present are colliding." Raiden says with a newcomer in nature aspected armor appears by his side. "It's not just time colliding, but it's also worlds. Look around." He says as everyone starts looking around.
Raiden then takes notice of the Heroes, Izuku & the 1B students. "Greeting everyone. I am Raiden, protector of Earthrealm. With me are the mightiest warriors." Raiden says, introducing himself and his allies when one of the warriors turns to Izuku & 1B.
"Good to see you all again." He says as he takes off his helmet, revealing his face to the group. "O-O-Oscar?" Kendo asks in disbelief as Oscar nods his head. "Yep. It's me and I'm back." He says with a smile.
But the moment was ruined as Shao Kahn shoved Oscar aside. "Enough of this nonsense!!! And you!!!" He exclaims as he points at Kotal Kahn. "Either vacate my throne or I'll soak this world in your blood!!!" He exclaims as he summons his hammer and charges at Kotal Kahn, who takes out his Macuahuitl in response.
The two Kahns traded blows with one another as a battle sparked, with Kotal's Kahn forces against Shao Kahn's. This in turn caused the Heroes, except the Water Hose Duo, to jump in. "Shit." Oscar cursed as he turns to the group. "Guys, don't have time to explain. But you guys need to get out of here and get some reinforcements. You guys can't win against Shao Kahn, Shinnok or anyone else here." Oscar says.
They didn't know what to say, but once they saw how violent and merciless Shao Kahn's forces are, they agreed with him. "Just don't die, okay? We just got you back and don't want you to die." Izuku says. "Don't worry. I'm not dying today. Especially not by Shao Kahn's goons." Oscar says as he puts his helmet back on, draws his swords and joins the battle.
He disarms a couple warriors while cripples a couple more as he sets his back against Liu Kang's. "Well, didn't expect this to happen." Oscar says. "Agreed. But I wonder why Kronika would do this?" Liu Kang asks. "I don't know, but I'm gonna find out." He says as he and Liu Kang resume battling.
Oscar takes out a few of Shao Kahn's forces as he encounters Kobra again. "Kobra. I killed you once & I shall do so again." He says as he withdraw his swords. "The one dying here is you." Kobra counters as he enters a combat stance. The two charge each other and traded blows, blocks & parries with one another until Oscar's fists started to turn green.
When he struck Kobra's chest, he knocked him onto his back and gets a green splatter on his chest. Once Kobra got back up, he charged at Oscar, not noticing the green color turning in a orange color. Before Kobra could even strike, the orange color suddenly turns red as an explosion appears out of nowhere, sending Kobra flying back.
"Gotta love video games, movies & tv shows." Oscar says to himself as he turns to see Kotal Kahn defeating Shao Kahn. "That's one threat down." He says as he sensed someone approaching. He turns to see Izuku, 1B and several Heroes rushing towards them. "And we got reinforcements coming." He says.
But then, swarms of bugs appeared in the sky, which Oscar and Kotal Kahn took notice of. "D'Vorah. Figures that cockroach would be here." Oscar says when the bugs attacked him, his allies and the incoming Heroes.
While they were distracted, a portal opened behind Shao Kahn as D'Vorah emerges from it. "Shao Kahn! Shinnok! To me!" She called out as they and the others on their side rushed into the portal. Once they were all in, D'Vorah enters into the portal as it closed behind her.
Once she was gone, the bugs dispersed from the area. "I have not known stranger days." Kotal Kahn says as Oscar nods in agreement. Soon, the Heroes arrived as Oscar & his allies regrouped to greet them.
"Heroes of your world, I am Raiden, protector of Earthrealm." Raiden introduces himself as Nezu raised his paw at him, stopping him from continuing to talk. "My student, Izuku, already told me." Nezu says as he turns to Oscar. "And I am glad another of my student has returned. And with great timing, for I have found proof to restore your honor." He says as Oscar raised a brow at this.
"Nezu, while I am happy for this, we don't exactly have the time for it. We need a place to regroup and decide our next move." Oscar explains as Nezu nods his head. "If it's alright with your allies, I can offer them sanctuary in UA." Nezu offered.
Oscar says nothing as he looks at his allies, friends & loved ones for their opinions. They all nod their heads as he turns back to Nezu. "The vote is unanimous. We will all join you at UA." Oscar says as Nezu smiles at this. "I am happy to hear that. And it is great to have you back." Nezu says as he and Oscar's group heads towards UA Academy.
(SCENE CHANGE: D'VORAH'S LOST HIVE)
"You evade my questions, D'Vorah. I routed your people, burned this hive, yet you still aid me." Shao Kahn, uncertain of D'Vorah's motives. "We can trust her, Excellency. Kotal Kahn did & she betrayed him to Shinnok." Says Kollector, the six armed goblin like creature.
"Kotal 'Kahn'. How is it I'm dead & he sits on my throne?" Shao Kahn questions. "You tried merging Earthrealm into Outworld. The Elder Gods & the Titan intervened and Raiden & his allies killed you. That's when Mileena would've take the throne." Kollector explains.
"And since your daughter did not want it, Reiko tried to take it through civil war. But we stopped him and This One ended his life." D'Vorah explains as this angered Reiko. "You killed me, insect?!?!?!? If this true, then you shall die!!!!" Reiko exclaims as he tries to attack D'Vorah, who pulls out her Ovipositors in defense.
But he was stopped by sand swirling around them. When the sand dispersed, a towering humanoid appears as he's accompanied by Kronika, who's eyes are bright green and is missing her crown, another Geras in different attire, another Cetrion looking demonic & glowing red, a robed figure with a blue mask. "D'Vorah is under my protection, Reiko. As both you, Shao Kahn, Shinnok & all who I brought here." Explains the dragon figure as Shao Kahn was speechless.
"Onaga? That cannot be." Shao Kahn says. "Your eyes do not fool you, my former apprentice. I am reborn and I have come with an offer to all: both old and new." Onaga explains as he gestures to the left, causing everyone else to turn to that direction.
They saw people approaching them, led by a masked man. "These people are the League of Villains & they are our equals." Onaga says as he starts his speech. "Thanks to my magic, I have persuaded Kronika to help us in my plan to ensure our victory over the Forces of Light. I brought you all here to join my side. Do so and you all will have a place in my victory." Onaga explains.
"What exactly is your plan, Onaga?" The reptilian man asks. "Simple: I plan to restart history and remake it in my image, one where evil rules while the righteous perish. Join me and you all will be granted riches & power beyond your dreams. And to those who are undeciding, know that I will also wipe fools like Raiden & Oscar from history." Onaga explains as this peeked everyone's attention.
"You can wipe people like All Might from history?" Asks the masked man. "Of course. That fool is nothing more than an arrogant buffoon. But I require protection while Kronika works. Can I trust in your forces to defend her?" Onaga questions.
"We shall." Shao Kahn says as the masked man nods in agreement. "Tell us, where do we start?" The masked man asks as Onaga smirks evilly.
(Here's chapter 26 done. Sorry if the chapter feels like a mess job. Wanted this chapter to be the start of the MK11 Arc by mixing MHA & MK together, so forgive me if it's a sloppy job. Anyways, the next few chapters will basically be showing what the characters look like. Also, one of the chapters will reveal the previous identities of the Kreated Fighters of Oscar by having them take on their previous life's appearances, think of it like a weird sort of amnesia.)
