Chapter 2: The Gravity Engine


It's been days, since Izuku last saw Bakugo. Right now, he is near his old family apartment. Bakugo was definitely right. It is swarmed with Super Mutants. Izuku also didn't know their Quirks, so it would be hard to fight them, even with his Quirk.

From what Izuku can see, Super Mutants are much taller, bulkier, and more muscular than humans, have predominantly green, gray, or yellowish skin. While some even have black skin. These Super Mutants have their brains exposed on the top of their head, while their large eyes are around it. They have a beak-like mouth with an array of sharp teeth. These are probably the ones that are called Nomus.

As Izuku gets up to go to his next post to watch the Super Mutants, he bends 90 degrees forward at his waist, dodging a leg, which just rockets over his back. While that happens, a hand attempts to slap him. Only for Izuku to jump to the side. He then lands, rolling to his feet, spinning around, pulling out his pistol, and sword. As Izuku is aiming his weapons at the two, he looks at them.

The male is a relatively tall and muscular young man with a wide frame. He has short dark blue hair, flattened neatly down and parted on the left of his head, a small patch completely shaved near the base of his head, and rather square eyes which match the notably pointed shape of his jaw. He wears a serious expression, and his eyebrows seem to be permanently pointed inwards, quite thin and long in length, the far ends sharply hooked inwards, and he wears glasses with rectangular lenses. Because of his , he possesses calves that are incredibly thick, and shaped like automobile engines, with three silver exhaust pipes protruding from each one.

He wears a sleeveless blackmuscle shirt, and a black metal helmet covering his entire face, its sharp bevor full of holes to allow him to speak and breathe easily, and its upper piece rounded over his head with two larger holes on either side, two curved horns just behind and a single spike sticking out of the back of his head. All though, it is broken, and has cracks all over the place.

He has wrapped bandages around his arms, hands, and knuckles. Over the wrap are metal bracers with spiked knuckles. His lower garments are just regular black pants. Around his torso are four holstered knives.

On his feet, he wears black knee-high boots with gold accessories, which are specialized for his Quirk, and around his torso, he has three thick metal pipes, attached with a blue band, although these only serve as decoration. His armor is very lightweight and does not protect him much; its main purpose is to cut down air resistance rather than to protect him.

The female is a short girl of slender yet feminine build. She is fair-skinned with a perpetual blush on her cheeks. Her eyes are large and round, their irises a warm brown, with rather thick upper eyelashes, two longer and more prominent ones protruding outwards on either side and fewer but more individually pronounced lower eyelashes. Shoulder-length and about the same color as her eyes, her hair is bobbed and curved inwards at the ends, two longer clumps taking the same shape on either side of her face, and short bangs that reach roughly a quarter of the way down her forehead. On the top inner segment of each of her fingers, she has a small pink pad, somewhat resembling the toe of a cat or a dog's paw, which she uses when activating and deactivating her Quirk.

She wears a dirty pink tank top, with a black outline, a green flannel-like, fur insulated coat, with sleeves rolled up to the elbow. She has circular wrist guards, a dark pink handle on the back of each one, wide knee-high boots with magenta soles. Around her face is a pink half-face gas mask. On her back is a red bookbag.

Izuku asks, "Who are you two, and why did you attack me?"

The male answers, "Tenya Iida." Iida then points his thumb at the female, in a choppy movement, kinda like a robot. He then says, "This is Ochaco Uraraka."

As she somewhat cheerfully waves at Izuku, and with an edge in her voice, she asks, "Now, who are you?"

Izuku answers, "Izuku Midoriya. So... Why did you attack me?"

Iida speaks up, and says, "We've seen you watching those Nomus in that old apartment complex. The Super Mutants are easy to deal with. It's the Nomus that you have to worry about."

Uraraka replies, "Iida-kun is correct about that. Every Nomu has at least two Quirks, and one of them is always Super Regeneration."

Izuku is silent for a moment. He then asks, "Is their a weapon that could take them down?"

Iida thinks about it for a moment, and says, "I heard a rumor from someone, that Snipe had some prototype plasma pistols, stored somewhere."

Izuku asks, "Did they say where?"

Uraraka then says, "Now that you are talking about it. I remember they said something about it being in a nearby cave. All though, if I remember correctly, that cave has a Deathclaw in it."

Iida replies, "That would be too much of a threat for just me, and Uraraka-chan to handle by ourselves. Midoriya-san... Would you be able to help us?"

Midoriya nodded, as Uraraka asks, "Not to pry, or anything, but what is your Quirk? It must be strong to be able to dodge both of us at the same time."

As Iida nods in agreement with Uraraka, Midoriya answers, "Danger Intuition. It allows me to sense nearing danger, acute danger, potential immediate danger, or impending danger and sense unwanted or hectic threats to my well-being and evade it."

Iida nods, and says, "That is a great Quirk, Midoriya-san."

Izuku shrugs, but then says, "And to answer your previous question... I'll help you find the plasma weapons."
