Mineta and class 1B was having fun as the day goes on until a knock was heard on the door, Mineta opened the door to see the big 3 with presents as a big smile appears on his face.
Mineta with a smile on his face: Hey guy glad you could make it.
Nejire with a smile on her face: Not a problem Mineta, I hope you enjoy your presents we got you.
Mirio with a smile on his face: So it seems Class 1A really got your party going huh?
Mineta with a sad expression on his face: Their not here, Momo and Jirou got my classmates and went on a around the world trip without me on my birthday.
Tamaki with a shocked look on his face: What, but who's in the dorms right now then?
Mineta was in warm smile on his face: It's Class 1B, they didn't want me to be alone on my birthday so they all came to cheer me up.
The big 3 was happy that Class 1B was giving Mineta the birthday he deserved as they came in the dorms to join in on the fun, as the big 3 and Mineta came into the room Tetsutetsu accidentally knocked over the black pepper on the table to watch made Komori accidentally sneeze yeast on Mineta.
Komori with a worried look on her face: Mineta are you ok?
Mineta fanned away the cloud of yeast as a tall stranger about 5.7 stood in Mineta's place.
??? with a deep voice: cough Yeah Komori I'm fine, God bless you by the way-wait is that my voice?
Everyone in the room was shocked by the fact Mineta was now taller with a nicely built body as Mineta looked at himself in shock.
Mineta with a shocked look on his face: What happened to me?
Pony with a blush on her face: Um..well when Grape Juice mixes with Yeast, it turns into fine wine.
Komori with a lustful smile on her face: And Fine you are~.
Mineta was feeling uncomfortable as he smiled nervously at Komori comment and the boys in the room could tell as they help him by offering karaoke to which Mineta agreed, while the class was getting the karaoke machine ready, Class 1A was at the fancy log cabin Momo's Dad owned in the mountains at Switzerland.
[In The Hot Springs]
Momo with a smile on her face: Now this is nice.
Jirou with a smile on her face: You got that right, I didn't know you had your own hot spring Momo.
Uraraka with a confused look on her face: You honestly thought that someone as rich as Momo wouldn't?
Tooru with a smile on her face even though no one can see it: I feel so relaxed, we needed this after what happened at Disney.
Mina with a smirk on her face: But you got to admit, it was funny.
Tsuyu with a smile on her face: I just like the fact it's warm in the cabin.
[Outside The Cabin]
Kirishima with a smile on his face: This is awesome, how about a snow ball fight?
Midoriya with a smile on his face: That sounds fun, let's do it?
Bakugou with a agitated look on his face: I'll pass.
As everyone was having there snowball fight Koda was with the animals as a deer came up to him and they talked to each other.
Koda with a smile on his face: It's so nice out here in you home Mr. Deer.
The Deer: it really is, but me and the others can since that the two girls in your group hurt someone.
Koda with a concerned look on his face: What do you mean?
The Deer: They have done something wrong and we can since that they are not sorry for it.
Before Koda and the deer could finish their conversation, Bakugou was getting annoyed because Todoroki hit him with a snowball.
Bakugou with a agitated tone: Damn it Icyhot, you'll pay for that.
Todoroki with a smirk on his face: Oh can't handle a snowball, some mush for tough guy.
Bakugou with a angry look on his face as he activates his quirk: I'LL KILL YOU BITCH (BOOM)
That loud explosion was so loud that to the boys horror has triggered an avalanches as the animals ran away and the boy run inside and told the girls to get in to which they did. The snow from the avalanche covered the cabin and the power was know out because of the snow.
Mina with an agitated look on her face: OH FOR FUCK SAKE, how did this happen?
Kirishima with a nervous smile on his face: Um..we were having a snowball fight and Bakugou didn't want to join so we threw a few at each other and Todoroki threw one at him which made him mad.
The girls witha annoyed look on their faces: And Bakugou activated his quirk right?
The boys all nod their heads as everyone was in the middle of the living room near the fireplace, the boys put some wood on the fireplace and Todoroki lit it up with his fire quirk. With the room now nice and toasty everyone was starting to miss UA but before anyone could talk Denki's phone calendar chimed in along with Tsuyu's, Mina's, Kirishima's, Uraraka's, and Midoriya's as the notification for Mineta's birthday party was letting them know it started in 10 minutes as their eyes went wide in shock.
Denki/Uraraka/Tsuyu/Mina/Kirishima/Midoriya with shocked looks on their faces: WHAT THE HELL?
Momo and Jirou have some explaining to do, let's just hope it a good one.
To Be Continued
Mineta: What are you doing in my forest?!
(Forest echoes as the camera pans out.)
Mineta: All right, get out of here. All of you, move it! (grabs a broom and begins to swing it around, trying to drive his unwanted guests away) Come on! Let’s go! Hapaya! Hapaya!
(The refugees quickly rushed into Mineta’s cabin)
Mineta: No, no! No, no. Not there!
(Mineta tries to open up his door, but couldn’t. Since the door was closed up tight, and Mineta glanced at Denki)
Denki: Don’t look at me, I didn’t invite them.
According to the poll I made about Jiro’s place on Arashi Ryu. With 17 votes in her favor, Jiro remains on the team and will face Mineta and Inferno Phoenix. The Next Question is who fills in the open five slots on Arashi Ryu. I will set five polls and the winner from each one will be on the team. Round 1 Begin.
If you got anything to say just let me know and I will try to read them
Have a good day :)
By the time Makoto, Shiryu, and Kayla made it to the location it started raining. Makoto had heard that her deceased mother had a condition that made her fall asleep in the rain. The town was, like himself, pretty small. It had some stores and such, with other people walking or driving in their inconsiderate cars.
The group continued to walk through the rain, having not bothered with grabbing an umbrella. Makoto didn’t mind the rain, being the only thing that didn’t make her skin feel raw. The sound of cars going past and people chattering amongst themselves helped break up the sound of the rain falling. Shiryu’s hair was sticking to his face from being wet but he didn’t find himself minding that either.
Makoto was hoping that there’d be a computer wherever they got to when they arrived at a motel. The building itself appeared to be quite old, dating as far back to at least the 1950's and two sets of floors were layered by a balcony. The walls were yellow, and some windows were lit while others weren't. The words, 'NO HEROES' were displayed on top of the motel as a large billboard.
Shiryu and Kayla looked at the motel as it came into view. They could easily see that it was fairly old fashioned and looked as though it was from another generation. Shiryu let out a small whistle as they approached the building.
Shiryu: Huh... It ain’t much from the outside...
Kayla let out a soft hum, completely uninterested.
Makoto: Did Dad ever come here when he was on the run?
Kayla was quiet for a moment as she thought about it. She eventually nodded her head and spoke up.
Kayla: He did a few times. He would use the computer in the motel office and get food from the convenience store down the road.
Shiryu: Anything to get out of the rain. ’Oh yeah’ Makoto thought, her brother hated the cold after what happened…
Makoto nodded her head a bit as she continued to scan the place. Her mind was going a mile a minute as she started to think. Her eyes landed on a small convenience store right next to the motel itself.
Makoto: Then the laptop is going to be in the motel office... The rain will also keep people in their rooms. That means a lower chance of being caught...
Kayla: I can’t go inside with you, certainly a Nomu would draw much attention.
Shiryu crossed his arms and thought for a moment, trying to think of a solution.
Shiryu: I can go in and get the laptop if you can’t. It’s pouring rain so no one should be able to see me. Even if they are it’s dark out.
Kayla: No, you children need to rest as often as possible.
Shiryu’s shoulder slumped a bit at Kayla’s statement. He felt a bit guilty that he wasn’t being more helpful. Although, he did agree that they both needed some rest at some point.
There was money in their travel bags so they decided to pay for a single night.
Once they paid for the room and walked in, they were greeted with a fairly simple designed room. The carpet was a light tan color while the walls were a light-blue color. Two queen beds were placed on either side of the room. The room had a simple flat screen tv, closet, bathroom, mini fridge, and microwave. There wasn’t much else that stuck out.
Makoto: I’m gonna go contemplate before I get the computer, you try to warmup.
Shiryu grumbled a bit at the mention of his phobia. He didn’t like the fact that he had it. It made him seem weak in his eyes and he hated being weak. He let out a sigh and walked over to his bed, stripping off his jacket and tossing it on the floor before practically burying himself in the blankets.
Makoto opens up a window to climb onto the fire escape and sit cross legged in the pouring rain. She reaches into her jacket to take out a ruined photo of her parent’s wedding day. Her mother died in childbirth and her father followed shortly after, this photo was all she had to remember them by.
The rain continued to pour down on her, the cold water running down her face. She looked down at the wedding photo, feeling her chest tighten at the image before her. She wished she had more than just this one photo of them... That she could actually have met her parents.
Makoto shuddered: Mom, Dad give me strength.
The rain seemed to get even harder as she shivered against the cold. It was almost as though she was being listened to by those who were no longer here... Even after they’ve long passed...
She drifted off until she was in a garden surrounded by a void. The Vault was a mysterious place that she had access to. There were other people in here but she never spoke to them. All she cared about was the echo of her father that resided there.
The image of her Dad was a covered in simple blackjeans and jean jacket, with purple hair, dozens of medium sized orbs forming a braid over his shoulder. He only had one arm, the one separated at the forearm. Makoto: Dad?
The man sat up a bit when the heard the familiar voice. He turned his head a bit and looked at the girl behind him. A smile spread across his face at the sight of his kid.
Mineta: Aye, baby girl... You're here again huh?
Makoto had heard many stories and rumors about Minoru Mineta. That he was crude, perverted, cowardly, lazy, and dirty. When she went into the vault she found out that only the first two were partially true. She shuddered as she tried to hold back tears.
Mineta noticed the way his daughter reacted and he instantly grew concerned. He pat the space next to him, signaling her to sit with him.
She sat next to him. Makoto: I’m trying to retrace your steps from when you were on the run. I’m at the motel you stayed at after you got away from Shoto, Creati, and Pinky. What did you leave at Nagoya TV station?
Mineta was quiet for a moment as his eyes glanced down at the ground. He looked back at her before letting out a sigh. He placed a hand on her head, ruffling up her hair in a playful manner before he spoke up again.
Mineta: The last time I was in Nagoya I left a flash drive with some information before I got jumped by my old buddies.
Makoto: The information you leaked about Phoenix Tree? But that’s all over the web now, that can’t be all.
Mineta nodded his head after she spoke. He let out another sigh as he thought for a moment. He leaned back on the bench, looking up at the leaves on the tree above him.
Makoto:…When you lost Mom, why did you give up on trying to be my Dad? You let Deku corner you before he…
Mineta froze a bit at the mention of what happened. He looked down at the ground again, his face twisted into a frown. It was apparent that he wasn’t in the mood to talk about this but he still spoke up
Mineta: Because I’m a bad, selfish, bastard... I was scared that I was gonna fail you. I just couldn’t cope with the fact that your mom was gone and I ran away to try and deal with my trauma...
Makoto: Stop, don’t say that! You’re not selfish, the reason you fought so hard and did half the things you did was because you wanted me to be born into a safer world! So tell me the real reason!
Mineta flinched at the harsh tone in her voice. He knew that his daughter was serious. He just couldn’t bring himself to look at her at the moment. His fists slowly clenched together in his lap as he continued to speak. His voice was shaky but he eventually got it out.
Mineta: I... I had a feeling that you’d turn out just like me... And I didn’t want that for you, kid... I’m not a good person and I hate myself for it...
Makoto: You changed, Cere saw your redemption through Grandma’s memories. You could’ve…we could’ve—
Mineta clenched his eyes shut for a moment. He didn’t want to hear this. Deep down, he knew that he could’ve done the right thing. That he could’ve been the best father for her but he didn’t. He didn’t do a thing and he would never forgive himself for it.
Mineta: I know, I know... I could’ve been better... I could’ve stuck by you and loved you correctly but I ran and left you all lonely in the world all by yourself... Dammit...
Makoto threw her arms around her Dad. Makoto: I love you Dad.
Mineta jumped slightly at the feeling of her arms wrapping around him. He could feel his heart ache in his chest as she said that. He slowly wrapped his arm around her, returning the hug. He could feel some tears rolling down his face as he spoke again.
Mineta: I love you too, baby girl... Even if I never showed you just how much, I do... I really do love you...
Makoto woke up from the vault, her tears flowing down her face and mixing with the rain. She turned around to see Shiryu fast asleep. She thought it’d be best to sit out in the rain a little longer.
As the rain continued to pour, Makoto found herself wrapped up in her own thoughts. Sitting on the fire escape while her brother slept was her only option to let her mind wander. She thought about her life, her mother, her father, and everything that led up to this moment. She closed her eyes, listening to the pitter of the rain as it hit the various objects around her. **
Meanwhile the heroes weren’t the only ones stressing about the Mineta children. The ghosts that Mineta had tried to root out were in motion. At Gunga Villa, a tall hooded figure shrouded in mist stood in the atrium.
The figure stood completely still, hidden within the shadows of the room. They were quiet for a moment as they closed their eyes and began to ‘listen’ to the world around them to see if they could detect anyone nearby.
Veil stood quietly in their spot for a few more moment before they suddenly opened their eyes. They raised their hand as purple mist-like tendrils began to crawl out of the shadows. They slowly began crawling up the walls of the room, heading towards the higher levels of the villa.
Veil: That damn Mineta is causing us trouble from the grave! His spawn intend on carrying the torch! Ladies, Gentlemen find them!
The people within the villa instantly understood the order and they got to work on fulfilling that order. Veil watched silently with their arms crossed as the others split off to begin their search for the kids. **
UA high school was beginning their first semester and the next generation of heroes were going over their itinerary. One of them was to keep the dorm panty and refrigerator stocked. Their class representatives Toshinori Midoriya and Hatori Tokoyami were deciding on who to send.
As Hatori and Toshinori sat in the common area, the rest of the class were arguing about who had to go. None of them wanted to go out in the rain to buy groceries and most of them were trying to pawn off the job to someone else.
By happenstance, this week the job fell to Chihiro Kaminari and Harumi Murakami. However, prior to their leaving after spending the afternoon in training, Mister Aizawa had pulled Nozomi Torino aside and asked her to accompany them. He did not, to use his words, “trust them not to trade the grocery money for magic beans.” Nozomi thought this characterization a bit unfair. Chihiro tried very hard, despite occasionally making rather poor choices. Harumi was…a special character who was very awkward and got distracted easily. Aizawa was hoping Nozomi’s personality would keep her from wandering off.
As she waited with the two in the main lobby of the dorms, she got her raincoat on and mentally prepared herself for what was about to happen.
The grocery store was… a unique experience. Currently, Chihiro was pushing the shopping cart through the frozen foods aisle, as Nozomi consulted the shopping list they had been presented with. Harumi walked behind them, her heavy boots clicking on the tiles rhythmically.
Nozomi’s eyes scanned over the shopping list, double-checking what was on the list and comparing that to what was actually in the cart. Currently, the cart only had ice cream and other frozen treats. She let out a quiet sigh as she looked over her shoulder at Chihiro.
Nozomi: You know, we’re supposed to be getting actual food… not just junk food.
The click of Harumi’s boots suddenly stopped and Nozomi and Chihiro to see Harumi’s ghastly form transfixed by something in one of the freezer cases. Chihiro: Woah hey ‘Rumi whatcha got there girl?
Nozomi’s eyes glanced over to where Harumi was standing, seeing that she was staring into the freezer case. A look of confusion was on her face as she tried to look into the case and see what Harumi was staring at.
Nozomi: …What is she looking at?
Harumi doesn’t say anything, but her long pale hand points at a seafood mix. Chihiro: Maybe another day ‘Rumi. We have limited funds and can’t go over budget. The list is very specific.
Nozomi nodded her head in agreement at that. Chihiro was right. They had a budget that they couldn’t go over and right now all they had were frozen treats and snack things. She looked back at Harumi still staring at the seafood for a moment before she grabbed the handle of the shopping cart.
Nozomi: Come on Harumi… We need to continue. We need to finish shopping before the storm gets any worse…
Chihiro grabs the gentle giant’s arm and pulls her along.
Nozomi let out a quiet sigh of relief as she saw that Chihiro got Harumi’s attention. She started pushing the shopping cart once again and looked back at the list.
Nozomi: Alright… Next thing we need is the meat. After that we can get everything else quickly.
As they were on their way to produce Chihiro stops to look at the TV screen.
Nozomi turns around to see Chihiro staring at the tv. A look of confusion appeared on her face as she looked at the screen as well. A news report was on, but it looked like something had happened. She looked back at Chihiro and spoke up a bit confused.
Nozomi: …What’s going on?
Chihiro had a look of surprise and despair as she looked at the news. A motel in Yokohama had blown up in a gas explosion, a motel her Dad told her about.
A look of concern flashed across Nozomi’s face as she stared at the Tv screen. Her eyes were locked on the news report as they showed the news reporters covering the story. She looked back at Chihiro, seeing the worried look on her face. Her worry had immediately shot up upon seeing Chihiro’s face and she spoke up again.
Nozomi: Chihiro? What’s wrong?
Chihiro: sniff Nothing…where’s ‘Rumi?
That question made Nozomi freeze up. Quickly, she started scanning the area around them, searching for Harumi’s figure. Her heart rate increased and a look of worry washed over her as she couldn’t see Harumi’s tall stature anywhere.
Chihiro: How does someone that big just vanish?
Nozomi’s eyes darted around the area in a panic. She didn’t know what had happened or how she lost track of Harumi. Her eyes continued to scan every inch of the area before she spoke up again.
Nozomi: I-I don’t know… We have to find her before she wanders off into the storm… or god knows where else she might go…
Chihiro: Harumi! Chihiro ran down the aisles.
Nozomi let go of the shopping cart and quickly followed after Chihiro. Her heart was racing and her anxiety was through the roof. She was worried about Chihiro and worried about Harumi. As they ran down the aisles, Nozomi continued to scan the area for any signs of Harumi.
As the two ran down the aisles, they eventually spotted a glimpse of messy black hair in the junk food aisle. It was in the back of the aisle, near where the chips and snacks were. Chihiro and Nozomi instantly ran down towards the figure and as they got closer, they could make out Harumi’s figure staring at something.
Chihiro: ‘Rumi! The girl jolted and looked down at her classmates from over her scarf covering her mouth.
Nozomi let out a sigh of relief and began to catch her breath. She placed a hand over her chest, trying to steady her heart and calm herself down. She looked up at Harumi with a bit of a scolding glare.
Nozomi: Pant Pant Harumi… Don’t just disappear like that… You had us worried.
Harumi crestfallen: Mmm…
Nozomi’s look softened a little bit as she saw Harumi’s crestfallen expression. It was obvious that Harumi knew she had done something wrong. She spoke up again, a gentler tone of voice was present in her voice.
Nozomi: …Come on… We’re still not done shopping yet. **
Half an hour earlier, Makoto woke up to the smell of soba and the sound of a microwave. Her brother was sitting at the table with ramen.
Makoto sat up slowly, rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand. She let out a sigh and sat up, watching her brother eat his ramen quietly. She stretched her limbs a bit before she spoke up.
Makoto: Where and how did you get that ramen?
Shiryu: Kayla said there was a convenience store nearby. Your soba is about done.
Makoto’s eyes suddenly widen a bit. She hadn’t expected there to be a convenience store nearby. She began to slowly crawl off her bed, making her way over to the microwave.
Makoto: You went out this morning? In this weather?
She only got a huff in response. If not for her phobia she would’ve hugged him right then and there. She’d really pushed her luck with it yesterday.
Makoto grabbed her soba from the microwave and sat down at the table with him. She silently began to eat her soba while they sat there. After a few moments of silence, she spoke up again. Her voice was quieter than usual.
Makoto: ….Thank you for going out and getting this for me… You didn’t have to do that…
Her eyes glanced over to the clock and saw that it was around lunch time.
Makoto: I guess it is pretty late…
Her eyes continued to scan the clock, watching the time. 12:15.
Makoto continued to eat her soba as her eyes shifted from the clock to her brother. She sat there quietly for a few moments before speaking up again, her voice still being soft. However, there was a hint of urgency in her voice.
Makoto: Shiryu… What are the chances we could go grocery shopping today?
Her brother lifted his head to look at her with a questioning look, a look of confusion in his eyes. Clearly, he didn’t expect that question.
Shiryu: Why do you ask that?
Makoto: Maybe I just want to spend time with my brother…
Shiryu sat at the table quietly, studying her for a moment. The sound of silence fell between them before he spoke up again.
Shiryu: …Maybe…
Suddenly a knock came at the door. For whatever stupid reason Makoto opened the door to find a large man with mid-length, disheveled hair, and his face is covered by a mask. At the last moment she noticed a pin sticking out of his neck right before he pulled it out, triggering an outward explosion.
The force of the explosion sent her stumbling backwards. A grunt of pain left her lips as her body slammed into the ground. She laid there, the wind knocked out of her lungs. She laid on the ground for a few moments, trying to piece together what had just happened. She eventually started sitting up as she felt the pain from the impact start to settle in.
Shiryu: Mako! Shiryu got up from the table to help her when a muscular villain with glowing, vein-like patterns on their arms and chest came crashing through the window and intercepted him.
Makoto slowly tried to stand herself up, using the nearby counter as support. She was still shaken up and disoriented from the sudden explosion. She was trying to ignore the ringing in her ears and the spots in her vision as she stood up. She slowly walked over towards where Shiryu and the muscular villians were, her eyes wide with worry.
Bomb: You have bigger things to worry about girl! The explosive man from before lunged forward to grab her. She slapped his hand away and whipped her head back. Her Bramble Hatsu pushed him into the hallway where another explosion went off.
The second explosion rang in her ears as her vision shook a bit. This villain, who could just explode anything, was a big problem to deal with. She heard a crashing sound in the hallway coming from where the villain was blown off to. She slowly began to approach, her hands shaking a bit as she moved. There had to be some kind of way to keep this villain at bay.
As soon as she stepped into the hallway something grabbed her foot. She fell to the floor below with a thud as the bomber stood up.
As she hit the floor, her back slammed against the hard carpet and a loud gasp left her mouth. The wind had been knocked out of her and she began to cough. She looked up at the bomber that loomed over her. She could feel herself start to shake in fear.
You’re about to suffer the same fate as your nosy bastard Dad little girl! Underneath that mask he wore, he has both of his cheeks torn open to form an extended grin, with stitches on each side. He did this to me you know!
She watched as he spoke and slowly crawled backwards, slowly trying to scoot away from him. When he spoke about her dad, anger started to bubble up in her chest, but her body still trembled in terror and she continued her attempt to crawl away.
Makoto: What did you do to my Dad?!
The bomber villain let out an insane sounding laugh before taking a step forward. A sick, twisted smile creeped up onto his face and his eyes had a crazed look in them.
Bomber: You still care about that fool of a father? He took another step towards her.
Makoto looks around at the devastation and then it hit her. Makoto: It was you…the UA bombing. You’re with the people who framed my father and turned the country against him!
The villain didn’t even deny it. The sickening smile on his face widened and he began to advance towards her. The closer he moved towards her, the wider his smile became and the more crazed his eyes looked.
Makoto: You took everything from me!!
The bomber was right in front of her now, his expression insane and almost mocking. He let out another insane sounding laugh.
Bomber: What’s the matter little girl? The villain crouched down so that they were eye level. Did I strike a chord?
Makoto let out a bloodcurdling scream as she feels blades that extend from her forearms and thorns poking through her skin. Those thorns shot out in all directions.
The villain took a step back in surprise by the scream and the sudden attack. Some of the thorns had gotten into his skin and stuck him.
As one of them gets lodged into his eye, Makoto lunges at him. She stabs him, tackling him through another wall.
The villain let out a yell of pain as he was stabbed and then sent through the wall. The two of them crashed into another wall, sending several objects tumbling and crashing to the floor.
Makoto looks up to realize…they’re in the boiler room. Aaaand the boiler’s cracked…
The sound of cracking and the smell of gas filled the room as the broken pipe from the boiler leaked. The villain was pinned beneath her as pained grunts left his mouth.
Bomber: You little— Makoto ran out into the hallway and jumped out the nearest window right as the hotel exploded behind her. And luckily for her she fell right into Shiryu’s arms.
Shiryu had been fighting with the muscular villan in the living room when Makoto last saw him. He looked down at her, surprise and relived that she was now safe.
Makoto: That idiot blew up right in front of the boiler! What happened to the guy you were fighting?
Shiryu looked back at the house before looking back at her. He looked her up and down, noticing the thorns sticking out of her arms and her messy hair.
Shiryu: I don’t know where he went. More importantly, you’re bleeding… He looked at the thorns sticking out of her skin.
Makoto: I’m fine let’s just get out of he-RE! She yelped as her brother lifted her up and started running. Luckily he’d gotten their bags out of their room before the explosion.
Shiryu continued to run, carrying her bridal style as he made their way through the streets. The sound of the explosion behind them rang in their ears as they continued to run away from the wreckage.
Stop! The two siblings turned to find a tall relatively muscular man in armor. Makoto heard Shiryu growl upon recognizing his foster father. Ingenium: End this game now!
Shiryu: You think we’ll just give up because you told us to?!
Ingenium looked at the two of them, a stern and cold look in his eyes. His hands were clenched into fists and his tense as he spoke, his voice holding a strict tone.
Ingenium: I am giving you a chance to do this the easy way before I have to resort to using force.
Shiryu: Is that what you said to Dad when you weren’t running your mouth about him being a villain and a disgrace and all that bullshit?
There was a flicker of surprise and guilt in Ingenium’s eyes. Clearly, he hadn’t expected them to bring up their father like that. He shook it off before responding with his voice being as cold as before.
Ingenium: I am simply doing what is best for you…He took a step forward, trying to get closer.
Shiryu: Oh spare me that “best for you” talk. You and the rest of those so-called heroes relished in calling him a rapist every five minutes. And you were so disappointed that you couldn’t get the same satisfaction while you pretended to be my father.
For a moment, Ingenium looked stunned but that cold look quickly returned to his face. His voice was slightly tenser as he spoke, like he was holding himself back from getting angry and yelling at the two of them.
Ingenium: I was trying to be a good parent..He took another step forward…unlike your actual father.
Shiryu: You don’t know what kind of parent my real father would’ve been! He inched towards the sewers with Makoto. You buried him because you didn’t want to be wrong about hating him. And you tried to wire that hatred into me, you never loved me…all you and Rosalina saw was just another pervert waiting to happen!
For the briefest of seconds, a pained look flashed through Ingenium’s eyes as he listened to Shiryu. It was gone quickly and that cold look returned to his face. He could feel his irritation slowly growing as he spoke.
Ingenium: Your father was a villain… He took another step forward towards them.….and a lowlife…There was a hint of anger beginning to rise in his voice. Makoto: Shiryu don’t listen to— Shiryu defeated: Then I guess I am too… He held Makoto tightly and let himself fall as they both went tumbling into the sewers.
Ingenium reached forward, desperately trying to grab them before they slipped away. He was too late and all he could do was watch as they disappeared into the sewers.
Ingenium: Damn it..
Ingenium: This is Ingenium, they’ve retreated back into the sewers, requesting support. Ingenium removes the helmet that had up until this point been hiding the remorse he carried for losing his adopted son again.
Not too far away, Eraser head was sitting on the roof of a building watching the scene. His gaze was focused on the situation happening before him. He had heard Ingenium’s message and spoke into the earpiece he wore.
Eraser head: Understood, I’m on my way.
They crashed into the sewer floor, rolling to a stop with a grunt. The sound of their falling echoed through the small tunnel, causing the two of them to sit in utter silence for a few seconds before a small sound from a few feet in front of them interrupted it.
A man with blue, rough, and rock-like skin approach them with a flashlight. Shikkui Makabe: Subtlety isn’t either of your strong points.
Shiryu’s eyes narrowed and his muscles tensed as the man approached. He put himself further in front of Makoto, shielding her from the man as he spoke, his voice low and defensive.
Shiryu: What do you want..?
Shikkui: Kayla told me you had intel. Let’s go.
Shiryu’s eyes flicked back and forth as he looked at the man in front of him. After a few beats of silence, he reluctantly spoke, still staying in front of Makoto.
Shiryu: …fine.
As they walked Makoto whispered in his ear. Makoto: Are you okay?
Shiryu whispered back, keeping his eyes on the man in front of them.
Shiryu: I’m fine. You’re the one who’s bleeding right now. He could faintly feel his sister shaking, which only made him worry even more.
Makoto: He threw a lot at you.
Shiryu’s heart ached and he let out a slow sigh. He knew her words were true but he didn’t want to admit it. Instead, he kept his eyes forward and spoke in a quiet, and worried, tone.
Shiryu: Shut up. I’m fine.
Makoto grabbed his arm, and as he turned around she threw her arms around him.
Shiryu’s eyes widened in surprise and he froze for a moment before letting his shoulders relax and wrapping his arms around her. A pang of guilt hit him when he realized that he was squeezing her with a little too much force. He lessened his grip, taking care not to press down on her injuries.
Shiryu: Oh, I found this while I was out! He opened his backpack and pulled out a plastic container of Bruschetta. Here.
Makoto looked down at the food, a bit stunned before she spoke in a very quiet whisper.
Makoto: Where did you get that..?
Shiryu: I figured that you would still be hungry later so I might have ventured out a little bit further…
There was a beat of silence as Makoto stared at the food in his hand before she mumbled a quiet “thank you” and took the container, setting it on the ground. A light pink dusted her face and she wrapped her arms around him again.
Makoto: I don’t care what you say about yourself or how you were born. Even though we have different mothers, you’ll always be my brother.
Shiryu could feel his heart clench in his chest as he heard Makoto speak. He tightened his grip on her ever so slightly and he buried his face in her shoulder, being careful not to press down too hard on her injuries.
Shiryu: Whisper You’re impossible sometimes…
I don't know why but when I'm in trying to come up with new ideas for certain fanfics and writing chapters for others.
But my intrusive thoughts just tell me out the blue. You should write a fanfiction about Mineta and satsuki kiryuin. Just randomly and I don't know why
Which is why I want to ask you guys do you think I should make it into an actual fanfiction or should I not do it?
A week has passed since many people in Pokemon have saved, Clair was at her gym battling trainers. Some trainers lost, some trainers won, but Clair didn't take most of her losses badly. "Congratulations, you've won." she said to the trainer who beat her, she was gonna give him a gym badge.
"Actually, I wanna go through the Dragon's Den and earn it." said the trainer, he felt that it's the least he could do since Clair helped save him and the others. Plus, going through Dragon's Den is part of the game.
As the trainer heads to Dragon's Den, Clair sighs as she is still trying to be nice by not refusing to give trainers a gym badge. "There's our favorite blessed dragon master!" the voice came from Hatsume, she and Izuku came to visit her, with Johto's trio, Ethan, Kris and Silver.
"Hi, guys." said Clair before asking "What brings you guys here?"
"What? We can't see one of our favorite former sourpuss?" Ethan asked jokingly, gaining a few chuckles, though Clair was a little annoyed by it.
"We noticed that a lot of trainers entered the Dragon's Den, so we wanted to see if you're doing okay." said Kris who noticed that none of the trainers were upset about getting a Dragon's fang.
"I tried to give them the gym badge, but they insist on going through Dragon's Den to find a Dragon's fang before taking the gym badge." Clair sighed.
"Seems that short stack really helped you get along with trainers better." said Silver who smirked knowing that Clair's short friend made her and trainers get along better.
"Yeah, he really did." Clair said in a depressed tone.
Izuku was aware that Clair misses Mineta, "Chin up, Clair. He'll come back, he just wants to accept himself again before he can visit you." he assured her, hoping to cheer her up.
Clair could only nod in agreement before heading back to Dragon's Den, she had to give the trainer the badge anyway. The others decided to leave as well, "So whatever happened to Mechamew2?" Ethan asked Izuku.
"Mei and many Pokemon professors decided to give it some upgrades." answered Izuku.
"We replaced the tank-like treads with actual legs, so that way it can move around better." Hatsume added and then asked Silver, "By the way, Silver, Are you really related to Ariana and Mars?"
"Let me guess; Red hair and hair styles look similar?" Silver asked guessing Hatsume heard that from fans.
"Um, yeah?" Hatsume responded embarrassingly, she didn't hear from the fans about that. She noticed that their hair looked pretty similar on her own. It should be noted that she knows who his father is.
"Of course we're related." Silver answered.
"You know, this is honestly the first time anyone has asked him that." said Kris, visitors would already know that, but they never bother asking.
In Dragon's Den, Clair gave the gym badge to the trainer after seeing the Dragon's fang. "Thanks. I hope I see that kid again, I honestly never got a chance to thank him too." the trainer said before leaving to challenge the Elite 4.
Clair decided to go home, she actually wasn't in the mood to battle more trainers right. Plenty of them came back to receive the badge anyway. When Clair entered her house she laid down on her bed looking at the photo of her and Mineta that was posted in newspapers. She even remembered something a trainer said to her before, "You know what's funny? We never expected a kid who talked about your boobs on the train to be such a brave and sweet child, you really helped him out." Although, Clair felt that it was the other way around, everyone loves Clair thanks to Mineta.
She heard someone knocking on her door, possibly someone from the village again, or her cousin and grandfather. "Coming!" she said.
When Clair opened the door, she didn't see anyone. "Hi, Clair." said a familiar voice that surprised her. She looked down and saw Mineta.
"Minoru!" she exclaimed as she hugged her friend after a whole week, the short boy was blushing as his face buried in Clair's bust.
'Herboobsareinmyfaceherboobsareinmyface!' Mineta thought internally. When Clair put him down, he regained his composure and asked her, "So how's it going at the gym?"
"Things have been going well, trainers were actually okay going through here finding the Dragon's fang." Clair answered and then added, "Even though I was gonna give them the gym badge."
"That's great! I'm happy to hear that you and everyone are getting along." said Mineta who was happy things have gotten better for Clair.
"So, just stopping by for a visit?" Clair asked as her smile wavered a little.
"Nope, I just came to see if my best friend wants to go on another adventure." Mineta answered, he showed Clair his Character Swap form and it showed that he swapped with another Pokemon character. And best of all, it's permanent.
Clair's eyes widened from shock, "You...you're officially..a character here?" she asked in disbelief.
"Yep. Our old space "pals" found me a character from their game to swap with." Mineta said, he showed the name of the character he swapped with to Clair, and she chuckled as Mineta actually swapped with a character NOBODY likes, Mindy. "Also, I hope you don't mind, but I brought a new friend to come along with us." Mineta added before calling his new friend, "You can come out now!"
To Clair's surprise, Mineta became friends with another hated character, one from a franchise that has a fanbase that's arguably as bad as MHA. Princess Elise. "Hello, Clair." she said shyly, hoping that she won't mind having her travel with them.
"Hey." Clair said with a sad look, she was aware that she wasn't the nicest female character, but the fact that Elise is more hated despite being nicer is pretty terrifying. Her haters were just as bad as Mineta's.
"My other hated friends told me all about her, and honestly, she seems more likable than the girls from my series. To think after saving Sonic himself, she gets haters as a thanks." said Mineta, he still finds it unbelievable that female characters from older series are easier to hate than the girls from his series. He then added, "So I decided to help her find happiness here. If that's okay with you."
"Of course, a friend of yours is a friend of mine." Clair said and then added while trying to sound stern, "Since you'll be living here, you will have to stay by my side at all times. Got it?"
"That's a promise." said Mineta, he hugged Clair who smiled while returning the gesture, "Come on, Elise, this is a friendship hug." he offered the princess who timidly joined the group hug.
The three head off on a new adventure together, though Clair had to ask, "Do you think your old cast will like Mindy?"
"They would, she's a girl and a jerk. The type of character they love to worship." said Mineta.
"Wouldn't surprise me." Elise muttered in agreement.
Meanwhile in MHA, Mindy was already annoying everyone. "Hey, Dumbachu, change the channel!" she demanded while ignoring the fact that everyone had injuries from trying to get Mineta for the photo prank but ended up receiving more injuries from Miltank.
"I can't move my arms." Denki groaned in pain reminding his new cast member.
"Quit whining, you're too stupid to feel pain." Mindy responded and turned to Iida, "Bootleg Robocop, change the channel, would ya. Since you wanna be useful."
"Can't you get up and grab the remote? My legs are still recovering!" Iida responded though it hurts when he tries to move.
"So what? Your pain doesn't matter to anyone, get used to it." Mindy harshly said. On the other hand, they were like this towards Izuku and Mineta.
"Will you quit being a jerk for God's sake? You're getting on our nerves!" exclaimed Kirishima, which is pretty ironic.
"Oh, what are you gonna do about it, Mr. Manly McApologist? Beat me up? I'm a girl and you manchilds are too brain dead to not hate girls, or jerks in your class. You'll get a lot of haters for even THINKING about standing up to me. So you better shut up and do what a GIRL tells you to do. That's all you boys are only good at." the mean new cast member snarked, making Kirishima feel defeated by her words while struggling to get the remote as she concluded, "That's what I thought, we all can be like your precious blonde cripple too, chump."
"You realize we're heroes, right?" asked Ochaco who felt hurt by someone saying they're all insufferable.
"Zip it, chunky. I ain't no pervert, so you have no right to be mad at me. That's literally all the dumb girls are known for, hating perverts." Mindy commented and then added, "Heroes you guys support are bullies and abusers, so don't act like you guys know right from wrong. Girls wouldn't give a crap about other people's problems instead of their own or villains." that got everyone shook.
"You're starting to give girls a bad name." said Ashido who, along with Jiro, Bakugo and Shinso had the worst injuries.
"Oh, shut up you stupid alien, you would've been hated for being downright retarded back in my day." MIndy gibed and then turned her attention to Asui, "As for you, you bugged eyed freak, you would EASILY be the most hated character. You're literally the very female character people would hate the most, I mean come on, your personality is like watching paint dry, everyone overrates you, and hogs all the attention. Fans would owe better girls an apology. Also, you'd be considered the ugliest girl if shortstack is supposed to be ugly. You're literally popular mainly for being a walking overused fetish." Everyone gasped at Mindy's hurtful explanation, Asui didn't say anything, she rushed to her room while crying, despite being in pain.
Then another Pokemon character came into the dorm and noticed Mindy, "Hey, Mindy. What are you doing here?" the Pokemon character was another hated character, Damian.
"I was gonna ask you the same thing, Damian. Some tiny guy that was friends with the Team Galactic girls wanted to swap with me, he said that this series loves to popularize mean people. And I can see why, everyone's spineless." MIndy sassed gaining glares from everyone.
"What a coincidence, I was visited by some green haired guy with a weird girlfriend and he wanted to swap with me. Saying that people wouldn't even care if he was gone and I'd be popular. Man, people must hate goody two shoes now." Damian smirked as he went to take a seat by pushing the injured Bakugo out of a chair to sit down and rest his foot on the overrated jerk. "So you can actually be cruel and no one will hate you?" wondered Damian.
"Oh yeah, you wouldn't believe what kind of people these child soldiers would praise and sympathize with." Mindy chuckled.
"You two are starting to make me miss Mineta!" fumed Jiro.
"Well you would make fans see you're worse than Misty." countered Damian making Mindy at a sick burn. The whole gang really started to miss Mineta.
Back in Pokemon, Mineta and his friends are camping at Route 44. Clair wanted to ask, "So, how was your soul searching, Minoru?"
"Well, when I found a character to swap with, I decided to befriend more hated characters before coming back, I helped them feel better about themselves, and then I met Elise. She felt pretty unwanted and needed a friend." Mineta explained as he smiled at the said princess who was sleeping in her sleeping bag.
"I'm happy for you." said Clair who then noticed something, "Hey, where's your sleeping bag?" she asked in confusion.
Mineta nervously approached the gym leader and said, "I, um, actually wanted to sleep in the same sleeping bag with you."
Clair's face turned red in embarrassment, "What?!" she exclaimed as quietly as possible.
"I had a bit of trouble sleeping through the past week and...I was wondering if you had trouble sleeping too." Mineta explained.
Clair calmed down, even though they both had trouble sleeping, she could tell how Mineta felt about her. "You do know I'm older than you, right?" she hinted that she's not a teenager.
"You're not that old, just 9 years older. And it's not like that." Mineta replied as he was fully aware how old she was, from Iris and Hatsume, and stated, "It's just that when I'm close to you, I feel more at home and safer, because someone I care about is protecting me."
Clair was actually touched by his statement, and recalled this won't be the first time they slept together. Even though the last time was different, "Okay, come on." she sighed, Mineta got in the sleeping bag with her, causing her to blush in embarrassment. She wrapped her arms around him like last time and he was already feeling sleepy.
"Goodnight...you sexy gym leader..." Mineta yawned as he fell asleep on Clair's chest.
Clair didn't know whether to be annoyed or not, though Mineta meant well, so she brushed it off and smiled, "Goodnight, you dumb pervert." she said as she fell asleep hugging Mineta. When some trainers pass by their camp, they find Clair rather adorable and wholesome hugging Mineta like a child.
Tsuyu was sitting in her living room when she heard a knock at the door. Kaori: We need to talk.
Tsuyu was taken aback, not expecting a late-night visit. She opens the door cautiously, her expression curious and somewhat perplexed.
At her coffee table, Tsuyu toiled restlessly with her mug as Kaori sat across from her. Kaori: So I hear when Minoru and I kicked the bucket you were put in charge of my child.
Tsuyu nods, her expression serious and somewhat solemn.
Tsuyu, her tone laced with a hint of melancholy: Yes, that's correct. When you and Minoru passed, I officially became Makoto's guardian. I've been caring for her ever since.
Kaori: Oh so is that why you didn’t do shit when your brother and sister tormented her in your house?
Tsuyu's expression darkens, her eyes narrowing slightly at the accusation.
Tsuyu, her tone firm and slightly offended: Excuse me?
She sets her mug down on the table and sits up a bit straighter, her gaze locked on Kaori.
Kaori: Don’t play dumb! I know about your sister getting handsy with my little girl. And your brother hurting her, all because they thought they were protecting you.
Tsuyu's eyes widen slightly, a mixture of surprise and disbelief on her face. She runs a hand through her hair, her expression conflicted and remorseful.
Tsuyu, her voice filled with guilt: I…I had no idea. I know my siblings had been acting out back then, but I had no idea they were taking it out on Makoto.
Kaori: Have you forgotten what they did to Minoru when he was running from all of you? How your sister left him with the daughters of Stain to be butchered?
Tsuyu's expression hardens at the mention of her siblings' past actions. She looks down, her voice laced with guilt and remorse.
Tsuyu, her tone sharp:…No, I haven’t. And I've spent every day since I first found out loathing myself for not seeing it sooner, for not realizing the truth. For…being so naïve.
Kaori: I don’t know why I trusted any of you guys to grow out of your hatred for Minoru. Not even my death hindered that.
Tsuyu's eyes drop again, her guilt feeling heavier by the second. She knows Kaori's words carry truth, and it weighs on her conscience.
Tsuyu, her voice barely above a whisper: I understand your resentment…and believe me, I've held myself accountable for my own blind ignorance.
Kaori: The doctors refused to give me epidural when I was pregnant with Makoto! Because of the narrative you all gave the public they thought it’d be better for “Mineta’s bastard child” to die!
Tsuyu winces slightly, her expression pained and guilty. She grips the edge of the coffee table, her voice heavy with remorse.
Tsuyu, her tone soft and guilty: I know I can’t make up for what I did to you or Minoru, but I swear, I’ve been trying to do right by Makoto. I’ve been trying to be the guardian she needs.
Kaori: And why should I believe you?
Tsuyu takes a deep breath, her expression sincere and determined.
Tsuyu, her voice steady and earnest: I know I’ve messed up in the past. I’ve hurt you and your family, and for that, I am truly sorry. But I promise you, I truly do care for Makoto.
She leans forward, her tone pleading.
Tsuyu, her voice filled with conviction: She is like a daughter to me, and nothing will change that. I will do whatever it takes to keep her safe and happy…If you’ll let me.
Kaori’s phone rang and her eyes widened. She jumped out of her seat and ran to the door. Kaori: If you want to prove you care then come on! Someone kidnapped Makoto!
Tsuyu's expression transforms from surprise to shock at Kaori's words. She gets up quickly, grabbing her hero costume and putting it on.
Tsuyu, her tone filled with worry: W-What?! How did that even happen? **
Makoto was running as fast as her legs could carry her while ignoring her phobia flaring up as she held Cere to her. The Phoenix tree people that were after her couldn’t be far behind and UA was right up the street.
Some of the guards were already out and searching, one of them spotted Makoto and Cere running up the street.
Guard 1, his voice urgent: There! I see them!
Makoto: Don’t worry Cere, we’re almost there. I promise I’ll get you to safety!
The soldiers began to give chase, splitting up and trying to cut Makoto and Cere off from both sides of the street.
Sovereign Lagoon! Makoto turns to see a churning wave of water coming down the alley and wash away her pursuers. From above, her classmates Akumu Koda and Taiga Hisakawa dropped down from a fire escape.
Akumu, his voice concerned: Mako! He runs up to her, giving her a quick look over to make sure she's okay. You guys all right?
Taiga hovers over them in the air for a few seconds before landing.
Makoto: Take my sister back to UA, I have to go find my brother!
Akumu and Taiga nods, with Akumu gently taking Cere from Makoto’s hold.
Akumu, his tone firm and reassuring: We’ll get her to safety.
Taiga looks at Makoto, her expression serious yet concerned.
Taiga, his tone worried: You sure you’ll be okay?
Makoto: I’m fine, I just need to catch my breath.
Taiga and Akumu nod, both of them watching as Makoto catches her breath before heading back out. **
Cere woke up in the common area of UA high school. Her enthusiasm was draining from her already pale eyes as she sensed her sister’s classmates approaching.
Her classmates come around the corner, concern on all their faces when they approach Cere. Koda crouches down to look at her level, his expression soft and calm.
Akumu, his voice gentle: Hey there…You feeling alright?
Cere downtrodden: I’m fine…
Koda can see that she’s not exactly “fine” but he doesn’t push. He pulls a small blanket from a nearby table, wrapping it around her shoulders.
She feels her foster brothers approach and embrace her. Kita: Are you alright, what happened? Shoka: Where’s Makoto?
As Kita and Shoka embrace her, they can both notice her looking slightly dazed and out of sorts, though she does try to give them a weak smile.
Cere, her voice soft and tired: …I’m fine. I don’t know where Makoto is…
Taiga: She told us she was going to find her brother.
Taiga’s words cause Kita and Shoka to both go still and look at him in surprise.
Shoka, his voice filled with surprise and worry: …She’s going after Shiryu alone?
Kita: What did Phoenix Tree want from you?
Cere’s eyes drop slightly, her expression troubled as she speaks.
Cere, her voice soft and hesitant: They were…experimenting on my quirk. They thought they could use it as a weapon.
Shoka: What! He gripped Cere’s shoulders. Did they hurt you?!
Cere’s expression only becomes more concerned as Shoka grabs her shoulders, a small whimper leaving her mouth as she tenses up at the action, causing Kita to narrow his gaze and glare at Shoka.
Cere, her voice shaky: I…I’m okay…Don’t worry about me…
Sophie: We can’t just sit here and do nothing! Something crazy’s about to happen!
Toshi: Alright here’s what we’ll do; Chihiro, Harumi, Kemaru, Hatori and Hime will go look for Makoto. The rest of us can stay here and protect Cere.
The classmates that were named nod in agreement. Chihiro gives Cere a reassuring smile, her voice full of conviction.
Chihiro, her tone firm: You can count on us! We’ll go find Mako! **
At Himeji Castle Phoenix Tree was a little less thrilled with their failure to capture the Mineta kids. Benkei: What’s our progress with acquiring the children?
One of the guard comes up to Benkei, his tone apologetic and a little frustrated.
Guard: I’m sorry sir…but we failed. The girl got away by the time we arrived.
Benkei: Don’t bother to apologize, it is our fault. We gave the insinuation that they ever had a choice to begin with.
The guard nods, his face grim as he speaks.
Guard: Shall we send out another team?
Benkei: Tell my son to rally his riot police, Gakuju’s been itching for action.
The guard nods again and hurries to go do just that.
Benkei: Oh and send Killjoy and Bombshell too. Maybe another “incident” at UA will encourage them. Aqua Major can destroy the MVHA too.
The guard nods again, his expression slightly concerned though he follows the orders he’s given and goes to send the orders to the designated people. **
Kenzo Murakami was sitting in his home with his daughter in his arms when someone knocked on his door. Kenzo: Who could it be Mazu?
Mazu giggled at her father’s question, looking at the door with curiosity and excitement. The knock sounded out again, this time louder and more persistent.
Kenzo’s eyes widened in shock as he goes to get up from the grass, trying to process what’s happening before him.
Kenzo: Would you like to divulge why you’ve come to my abode, Kuzuri?
Boogeyman: What can’t an old friend say “hi”?
Kenzo looks up at Boogeyman, his expression calm though he does keep one hand on the back of Mazu’s head as she’s still in his arms.
Kenzo, his tone wary: I hardly call people who attacked me in the dead of night “friends.”
He runs towards Kenzo trying to catch him off guard with a blinding axe-kick. But Kenzo blocks it with one arm as he switched to another personality. Okuri: Damn I really needed this exercise, hold on little Mazu. He stretches his free arm while holding his baby daughter.
Mazu just giggles at her father’s excitement, gripping onto him happily as she watches the interaction with a curious expression. Okuri baby talk: Ready to have fun with Daddy?
As Boogeyman runs in, Okuri dodges the first punch, blocks the second, ducks the third and lands an open palm on his chest that sends him sprawling. Okuri then follows up with a roundhouse that staggered the machine. He then creates dark flames along his forearms before making them spin, turning his forearms into mini-tiller blades that caused three consecutive blows to follow. Okuri: Trickster Jackhammer.
The blows sent Boogeyman staggering back, his body giving off a few sparks at the impact. He growled slightly as he got back up, his expression filled with annoyance.
Boogeyman: Not bad…
Just then Kenzo’s other son Satoshi walks outside. He suddenly appears in front of the young boy. Okuri: Satoshi, hold your sister.
Satoshi nods quickly, holding his arms open for Mazu with a slight and curious expression. She reaches for him happily, practically falling into his arms and giggling loudly.
Boogeyman attempts to kill Satoshi himself, but Okuri catches the blade that suddenly appears from his arm. Okuri swings Boogeyman midair, and strikes the robot with a left kick to his stomach. Okuri: You shouldn’t have done that. Now I’m gonna hurt you both.
Boogeyman grunts slightly as he’s struck, his expression darkening as he lands on the ground again. He lets out a dark chuckle, looking at Okuri in a somewhat gleeful manner.
Boogeyman: Oh~? You gonna fight to protect your “loved ones?”
The other machine walks forward, his body suddenly covered in what seems to resemble axes. Okuri: I assume you’re Suji. My name is Maelstrom now.
Suji walks forward, the light in his eyes flaring up as a manic smile appears on his face. He takes a quick glance at the young children, his expression darkening as his smile turns more malicious.
Suji, his voice excited: I’ve been looking forward to playing with you…
Okuri punches Maelstrom in the chest, but is unable to damage it initially. Boogeyman shoots at Okuri with his wrist guns, but Okuri redirects them at Maelstrom.
Both machines stumble back at the attacks, their bodies sparking from the impacts. Suji grunts in pain and annoyance while Boogeyman’s expression darkens in anger.
While Maelstrom was distracted, Boogeyman swings an ornate sword with a curved axe-head at its end. But Okuri catches the blade and snaps it as he suddenly gets bigger. Kyujin: Have you forgotten me?
Both machines turn around to look at Kyujin, their expression becoming a mix of surprise and annoyance.
Maelstrom: Not you…
Boogeyman tries to stab Kyujin through the chest only to get his head palmed off.
Suji looks at his partner’s head fall to the ground in surprise, his expression a mixture of shock and realization.
Suji, his voice filled with surprised horror and anger: Kuzuri…?
Kyujin: If you know what’s good for you…run.
Suji’s expression turns to one of terror, his body tensing as he looks between Kyujin and the two kids. He backs away slowly.
Kyujin:On second thought, you were intending on attacking my children. Kyujin shrank and his eyes turned purple and the sclera black.
Suji backs away faster, his expression becoming increasingly terrified as he looks at Kyujin, his body starting to shake with fear.
Koryū grabs Maelstrom and throws him out of the neighborhood. Koryū knocks Maelstrom away with several blows and starts building a combo of direct hits. He lands numerous consecutive punches in rapid succession that brutally pummel the machine.
Maelstrom grunts in pain with every hit, sparks flying from his machine body with every hit he receives. Small dents start to form, and he struggles to keep himself balanced on his feet.
When the smoke clears Maelstrom is gone and Koryū quickly floats back to his children. He turned back to Kenzo. Kenzo: It appears he has left the premises.
Kenzo nods, his expression calm as he hugs Mazu close before turning to look at Satoshi as well.
Kenzo: Are you alright?
Satoshi nods, still holding Mazu who’s completely fine and giggling away, oblivious to most of what’s happening around her. Satoshi: Mazu needs changing though.
Kenzo: Ah…
Satoshi gives his father a look, his expression almost pleading.
Satoshi, his voice almost desperate: You do it this time…
Kenzo: Alright. ** Shiryu woke up to absolute agony as the world around him became a red blur. The last thing he remembered was someone jamming something into his arm and everything went dark. He felt himself moving but the world around him was still dark.
Shiryu’s awareness slowly begins to return, his head feeling foggy and pounding from the pain as he slowly gains the ability to hear again. The sound of footsteps rings out around him, as well as a few unfamiliar voices. He tries to open his eyes though he quickly finds out that he can’t. Something heavy is covering his eyes.
He realizes someone’s trying to carry him off and everything got hectic. His vision was blood red as he smashed someone under his weight. He swatted something else away before he ran outside and into the road.
A car suddenly swerves out of his way, the driver cursing loudly when they’re forced to slam on the breaks to avoid hitting him. The sound of more footsteps soon follow him, the people trying to catch him again.
He runs head first into a truck, his skull denting the metal. He ran off in the same direction as his heart roared in his ears. He doesn’t feel safe, nothing’s okay!
Everything continues to be a red blur, the sounds of footsteps fading away as more people try to avoid him. He runs through a crowd of people, some of them letting out shocked and/or scared exclamations when he slams into them or almost bowls them over.
He continues to run for what seems like eternity. He runs into more people and more things, the sound of people’s voices around him becoming a constant background noise. He feels himself starting to slow, his body becoming more and more tired and heavy.
Shiryu!!
He comes to a skidding halt, his ears ringing and the red haze that’s clouding his vision starting to fade slightly as he tries to figure out who just shouted his name.
Shiryu!! He looks over to see Emiko, his girl—no, he won’t say it. She doesn’t really like him. It’s only out of pity. She deserves better. Not someone like—
Emiko stops a few feet away from him, her expression quickly shifting from surprise to concern as she sees his state. Her voice is filled with worry as she calls out to him again.
Emiko: Shiryu??
Shiryu: Please, find someone else! Anyone but me!
Emiko’s expression becomes puzzled, her head tilting slightly to the side as she processes his words and expression. Her voice becomes gentle and soft.
Emiko: What…do you mean? Why not you?
Shiryu: Look at me! As he said that he takes a look for himself. He was bigger, he had claws, he felt that his teeth were sharpened, and something molten was leaking out of him, melting the pavement.
Emiko looks at him, her eyes taking in everything that he points out. Despite the fact that he looks and feels monstrous at the moment, her expression simply becomes one that’s filled with both sadness and empathy as she walks towards him, one hand reaching out towards him.
Shiryu: Stop, you’ll get hurt!
She ignores his words, continuing her slow approach of him as she reaches out to gently cup his face in her hands, uncaring of any danger she may be placing herself in.
A shadow falls over them and he turns to look at someone that makes his blood boil. Hatori Tokoyami and her Frog Shadow touch down and slowly inch towards him. Shiryu: Why are you here!?
Tokoyami and Shadow Frog share a look, their expressions calm as they continue to approach. Tokoyami’s voice is level as she speaks, keeping eye contact with him the whole time.
Tokoyami: We’re here to help.
Shiryu: Like how you “helped” my sister!
Tokoyami’s expression falls slightly, her hands slightly clenching as she registers his words. Her voice is softer when she speaks this time, a hint of guilt in her tone.
Frog Shadow : That’s a low blow.
Tokoyami: No he’s right, Makoto was supposed to be my adopted sister and I wasn’t there for her. Now I’m here to help you.
Emiko: Shiryu look at me! Everyone back at school is worried about you! All your friends!
Shiryu turns to look at her again, his entire form looking tense as he registers her words. He starts to shake slightly, his eyes looking into hers. She’s…worried about him?
Shiryu: I don’t have any friends! People like me aren’t supposed to have friends! I’m cursed to be alone because I was born with the name Mineta.
Emiko shakes her head quickly, gently grasping onto one of his larger hands and giving it a squeeze.
Emiko, her voice soft but firm: You’re wrong. And you’re not alone.
Shiryu: I’m a monster, an abomination, look at what I did! I’m no better than those stupid thugs from the league of villains!
Emiko again shakes her head, continuing to hold onto his hand tightly despite his words. Her tone becomes more firm as she responds.
Emiko, her eyes still filled with nothing but gentle concern and empathy: That’s not true, and you know it. You’d never intentionally hurt anyone. It’s obvious you don’t have control over this.
Shiryu’s eyes widened slightly as he looked down and finally noticed the apparatus hooked into his arm. He clawed at his own skin, trying recklessly to tear it off.
Emiko quickly grabs his hands to stop him from harming himself, holding his hands in a tight grip as she tries to help calm him down.
Emiko: Shiryu, stop! You’re going to end up hurting yourself worse if you keep doing that!
Shiryu: Get it out, get it out of me!
Emiko gives him a look of desperation and worry as she struggles to keep her grip on his hands in order to prevent him from hurting himself. Tokoyami and Shadow Frog both step forward as well, both of them putting a gentle hand on one of his arms in order to help Emiko.
Tokoyami: Shiryu, you have to calm down.
Frog Shadow: I can carry him back to the MVHA. How much further is it?
Tokoyami nods before looking around and taking in their surroundings, trying to get a sense of where they are.
Tokoyami: Not too far. We’re about 15 minutes out.
Emiko: I’ll lead the way!
The small group quickly made their way through the city, trying not to get the attention of the few citizens that were out and about at the moment. Soon they reached the port, the giant building that housed the MVHA standing just a short distance away from them.
Davey: Get him inside! Ryoka: What happened?
One of the teachers that took the form of a polar bear ran up to carry him the rest of the way. Shiryu had a lot of friction with the man in the past due to his ice quirk and Shiryu’s cryophobia, but that didn’t stop him from helping Shiryu.
Even more surprising was the presence of stern Principal Yamato, yet there she was in the medical room with Dr. Tanaka.
Yamato stood quietly in the corner as Tanaka tried to inspect Shiryu as gently as possible, the doctor’s expression filled with professional concern as she examined him and the apparatus hooked up to his arm.
Dr. Tanaka: It’s wired into his arm and already pumped a bunch of Trigger into his system.
Principal Yamato’s expression becomes one of increased concern as she listens to the updates, her arms folded across her chest as she looks at Dr. Tanaka and Shiryu.
Yamato, her voice firm: Is he going to be alright? Is it possible to remove it without harming him?
Dr. Tanaka: It’ll take time to remove it and he’ll face some withdrawal symptoms— Suddenly the building shook.
Principal Yamato, as well as a few of the other teachers and students, stumbled slightly at the suddenly shaking of the building. They all look at each other, wondering what the cause of the shaking was.
Hatori: They’re here.
Principal Yamato’s eyes widen in slight surprise, but her expression quickly turns into one of determination.
Yamato, her voice firm as she addresses the students and teachers: All of you, prepare for a possible fight just in case things get bad. Make sure all of the children are kept safe.
Shiryu weakly: Wait Principal Yamato.
Yamato shifts her attention to Shiryu, her expression turning softer as she looks at him.
Yamato: What is it?
Shiryu: Why me?
Yamato walks over to the bed he is laying on, standing just next to him as she looks at him with a calm expression.
Yamato, her voice gentle: What do you mean?
Shiryu: I’m the son of an assassin and the most hated man in the country. My dad tried to change for the better but nobody wanted to give him a chance. So why did you take a chance on me?
Yamato’s expression grows softer still as she listens to his words. After a moment of silence, she responds, her voice gentle and calm.
Yamato: Because my mission is to make worthy heroes out of everyone.
Shiryu: That can’t be it, why would you risk your school’s reputation to trust that I’m a good person?
A rare small smile appears on Yamato’s face as she continues to look at him calmly, taking a few more seconds to think over her answer.
Yamato: …You know, I don’t think I could really put a reason into exact words. Perhaps it was just a hunch. Either way, I don’t regret taking a chance on you.
As her and the rest of the staff left to fight, a small tear fell from Shiryu’s eyes as he finally started to shrink down.
Everyone quickly filed out of the room, a sense of determination and slight tension in the air as they left. Shiryu slowly began shrinking back down to his normal size as Emiko continued staying by his side, gently holding onto one of his hands to offer reassurances. **
While that was happening, Mineta was frantically trying to get a hold of his team when Bastion finally answered. Mineta: Where the fuck are you and where are my kids!
Bastion’s voice comes over the line a few seconds later, the man sounding slightly winded and out of breath.
Bastion, his voice slightly strained: Mineta! We got ambushed! Phoenix Tree is up to something!
Mineta: I’ll kill ‘em!!
Bastion doesn’t seem fazed by Mineta’s words, his voice still strained as he continues.
Bastion: I’m not in a good situation to talk right now… There’s a brief period of silence over the line, the distant sounds of fighting and gunshots faintly coming from Bastion’s end of the phone.
The line cut off and Mineta took off down the street. He needed to find his wife and children urgently. He only ended up running into the last hero he’d seen before he died. Mineta: Get out of my way Deku!
Deku looked surprised for only a moment at seeing Mineta before quickly stepping to the side and putting a hand on the shorter man’s shoulder.
Deku, his voice slightly firm: Mineta wait!
Mineta: Don’t tell me to wait you self righteous prick! I need to get to my kids!
Deku stands his ground in front of him, his expression taking on a slightly stern look as he stops Mineta from running off.
Deku: You’re not going to be able to get to them if you just charge headfirst into danger, you need to calm down!
Mineta: Oh as if you were calm and rational about ditching us to go fight the entire league of villains by yourself. You know you are so smug about that!
Deku looks slightly guilty for a moment, his expression falling for a second before he looks back up at Mineta.
Deku: Yeah, you’re right. That was stupid. But that’s not the point at the moment. You need to calm down and try to think rationally at the moment, especially considering the situation with your kids.
Mineta: I’m not gonna wait around like you assholes did when I was kidnapped for six months. My kids need me!
Deku clenches his hands slightly as he tries to keep his own temper under control, his expression and voice becoming more stern as he looks at Mineta.
Deku: Do you really think that will help them? Do you think you’ll get to them by rushing into the middle of the fight? All it will do will get you hurt and leave your kids alone.
Mineta: You’ve already done that! Letting my kids get touched and harassed for being my children? Jiro stabbed my son’s eye because she thought she saw me! Tsu obsessive brother and sister abusing my little girl right under her nose!
Deku’s expression falters again, his gaze dropping for a moment as he processes Mineta’s words.
Deku, his voice slightly soft and slightly guilty: I…I know. I’m sorry…
Mineta: Sorry wasn’t good enough when I tried to make amends. Don’t get in my way.
Deku clenched his hands tighter as he stood his ground, looking back up at Mineta with a determined expression.
Deku, his voice firm: That’s not up for debate. You’re not going. Not until you calm down and start thinking clearly.
Mineta: Who’s going to stop me? Mineta starts to walk away.
Deku suddenly grabs onto Mineta’s arm and pulls him back, standing between him and the direction he was walking towards.
Deku, his voice firm and leaving no room for debate: Me.
Mineta: Oh, okay Mineta whipped his arm around and punched Deku through a wall.
Deku didn’t even have the time to react as Mineta punched him through a wall, the speed in which it happened taking him by surprise. He hit the ground on the other side of the wall in a heap, dust and rubble kicking up around him.
Mineta: It’s funny you all keep forgetting I’m not your cowering little sandbag anymore. Mineta says menacingly as a malleable yet resilient sort of combat full-body suit manifested like rapidly growing tumor that warp Mineta’s body from inside out.
Deku pulled himself up from the ground slowly, spitting some blood out of his mouth as he looks at Mineta through the hole in the wall.
Deku, his voice firm: I never saw you as a sandbag, Mineta. I just saw you as a friend that needed help. And you still do.
Mineta: Funny because I seem to remember a certain someone calling me a weak embarrassment who couldn’t bring himself to change.
Deku’s expression shifted into one of slight guilt again, his hands clenching slightly as that past statement was brought back up.
Deku, his voice strained and slightly apologetic: That…That was wrong of me to say. I…realized that a long time ago already.
Mineta: Yeah after you put a hole in my face! Mineta lunges forward while morphing into a giant mouth.
Deku’s expression changes into one of slight surprise as Mineta suddenly lunges at him, just barely getting his guard up in time to block the lunge attack.
Mineta: It always drove me crazy how you bent over backwards to defend Bakugo! How you risked everything to save Shigaraki after you had the nerve to say we weren’t ready to fight them! Mineta rushes towards Deku while flailing his tentacles.
Deku blocks as many tentacles as he can, his body moving almost on autopilot as he tries to stay on the defensive against Mineta’s attacks.
Deku, his voice strained: You know damn well why I-
Another tentacle hits him in the side, knocking him off balance for a moment.
Mineta: “You all can’t keep up” that’s what you had the GALL to say to us, when we had a whole plan that YOU botched because you let Toga pull you away! Everyone else did their part perfectly but YOU!
Deku clenched his teeth in frustration as Mineta continued, the man being unable as he continued to use all his strength just to dodge and block Mineta’s attacks.
Deku, his voice slightly strained and frustrated: You know that’s not what I meant!
Mineta: You ditched us because some dead has-beens in your head said you were the shit! Then when it actually came to getting the job done you fucked that up too because of a damn gamble! Mineta causes massive spikes of biomass to erupt from the ground, creating a deadly circle of spikes.
Deku quickly dodges the eruptions of spikes from the ground before they can even get close to touching him, his face becoming more tense as he slowly starts to lose his own cool from the things Mineta was saying.
Deku, his voice strained and more firm: I’ve had enough of this!
Mineta: I agree The two of them were about to collide again when a wall of ice separated them.
Shoto: Stop fighting!
Deku looks over at Shoto as the other man walks up, a hint of relief on his face at seeing the others had finally arrived.
Deku, his voice slightly relieved: Shoto…
Shoji, Koda, Hagakure, and Aoyama arrived too. Mineta looks in disgust as he shrinks back down. Mineta: I’m out of here.
Shoto, his voice firm: Don’t you dare take another step.
Mineta: Or what Icyhot, you’ll drop another iceberg on my head?
Shoto, his voice still firm: Something like that.
Hagakure: All of you stop it!
All of the others look over at Hagakure in slight surprise, their attention shifting to her as she interrupts.
Hagakure, her voice firm: We didn’t come here so you two can fight each other. We’re supposed to be friends!
Mineta: We stopped being friends when you ran me out of the country because you thought I drugged you.
Hagakure fell silent at that response, a look of guilt and shame appearing on her face at remembering that.
Mineta went to leave again when Shoji grabbed his arm.
Shoji, his voice firm: We’re not done talking, Mineta.
Mineta: Well I was done listening.
Shoji, his voice firm still: Too bad. You’re going to listen, like it or not. We need to talk this out before any more damage is done.
Mineta: Oh I tried talking to all of you… 15 years ago when I tried to warn every single one of you that I was framed by Phoenix Tree! But did you fuckin’ care? NO! All you cared about was reminding me how much of a pervert I was in high school.
All of the others besides Izuku looked slightly guilty at that, it obviously hitting a sore spot for everyone and bringing up stuff that had been left to sit and rot for so long. It also reminded them of the part they all played in turning on Mineta all those years ago.
Shoji, his voice firm: …We know. We know we messed up, Mineta. Believe me, we all know that.
Mineta: I missed out on fifteen years of my kids’ lives because of you! I won’t miss any more.
Mineta woke up in the morning with sadness in his heart because today was his birthday and Momo got everyone to go with her on a vacation, Mineta walked down stairs in his PJ's as his sat on the couch. But it didn't take long until a knock was heard on the door as he got up and walked over to it and opened it to see Tetsutetsu, Monomo, and Kendo standing there.
Tetsutetsu with a smile on his face: Hey Mineta, is Kirishima around we were going to spar today?
Mineta with a sad expression on his face as he was about to close the door: He's with my classmates on vacation.
Mineta was about to shut the door but Kendo could since that something was wrong with Mineta as she used her quirk to keep the door open.
Kendo with a concerned look on her face: Wait, wait, wait your tell us that your classmates left and didn't take you, why?
Mineta was quite as tears are seen going down his face: I-it's fine..sob..at least their having fun. I'll do something else on my birthday because I don't need them.
All three were shocked to know that not only did Mineta's classmates leave without him, but it was on his birthday not even Monomo was that cold. The three look at each other as they nod their heads in agreement.
Monomo with a smirk on his face: Your not going to spined your birthday by yourself, let us come in and Kendo will make a few calls.
Mineta was surprised by Monomo words as he opened the door, as soon as Monomo, Tetsutetsu, and Kendo came in they knew Mineta was telling the truth because the dorms was empty as Kendo got on her phone and Monomo asked if class 1A had any games?
Mineta with a smile on his face: We have a PS3 and I still have my Nintendo 64 with Super Smash Bro 64.
Monomo with a smirk on his face: Oh so your a guy of good taste I challenge you to a one on one match, I'll play as Mario.
Mineta with a smirk on his face: Your on, I'll play as Link.
Mineta left to get the Nintendo 64 as a knock was heard on the door, Kendo with a smile on her face opened the door to see Class 1B with cake and party stuff.
Kendo with a smile on her face: glad you can make it, they did him dirty this time.
Ibara with a smile on her face: Not a problem Kendo, he deserves a good birthday like everyone else, praise the lord.
Komori with a smile on her face: So where is the little Mushroom?
Tetsutetsu with a smirk on his face: His getting his Nintendo 64 so him and Monomo can play Smash Bro's.
Pony with with big smile on her face: Oh I love that game.
Mineta comes down with the Nintendo 64 and is surprised to see everyone from 1B in the dorms.
Mineta with a surprise look on his face: Oh hey everyone, why are you all here?
Reiko with a smile on her face: Well it normal to have people for your birthday Mineta, right?
Mineta with tears in his eyes as he smiled at everyone: Right, so let's have a blast.
Mineta hocked up the Nintendo as everyone started having fun but as they were having their fun, class 1A was in the middle of some trouble at Disney.
Denki as him and class 1A are stuck upside down on a Rollercoaster: Sorry y'all, m Mineta woke up in the morning with sadness in his heart because today was his birthday and Momo got everyone to go with her on a vacation, Mineta walked down stairs in his PJ's as his sat on the couch. But it didn't take long until a knock was heard on the door as he got up and walked over to it and opened it to see Tetsutetsu, Monomo, and Kendo standing there.

Denki as him and class 1A are outside of Disney: Sorry y'all, it was an accident.
Jirou with an agitated look on her face: Denki, you fried the Rollercoaster with 10,000 volts of electricity frying the ride.
Mina with a smirk on her face: it was kinda a funny that Bakugou had a fight with Goofy.
Bakugou with a agitated look on his face: THE FUCKER DESERVED IT FOR KNOCKING ME OVER AND MY FUNNEL CAKE.
Midoriya with a nervous smile on his face: At least we're going to Switzerland next.
Koda with a smile on his face: At least we can see animals there.
Momo as she tries to calm down: Can we just get to the plane please so my groomer can fix my hair?
Uraraka trying to calm Momo down: It doesn't look that bad Momo, it can grow back.
Momo looked at Uraraka with an upset look as she walked past the class as a big bold spot is seen on the back of her head where her ponytail used to be. Everyone didn't say anything as they got on the plane as they head to Switzerland, let's just hope they don't get a "Cold Surprise".
To Be Continued
Mineta was in his room tinkering with a invention he's been working on, before he finished his project his phone went off as he looked at the caller ID and seen it was his Mom.
Mineta with a smile on his face: MO30 please answer the phone.
A small Flying Saucer flied over to him as pink lights opened in the front like eyes.
MO30 as it flies to Mineta: Yes Papa.
MO30 activities the phone as Mineta's Mom answered.
[On The Phone]
Mineta's Mom: Thanks dear, Minoru I still think you should go to that Tech School, your so smart.
Mineta with a smile on his face: I know I'm smart Mom but I wanted to be a hero like you and Dad.
Mineta's Mom: I know sweetie by the way your supplies parts are here at the house, do you want us to drop them off or are you coming over?
Mineta with a smile on his face: I'll come, I missed you and Dad anyway.
Mineta's Mom: Ok sweetie see you then, love you.
Mineta with a smile on his face: Love you too Mom, bye.
Both Mineta and his Mom hung up the phone as Mineta get his backpack, wallet, and keys as he was about to head out the door but stopped to talk to MO30.
Mineta with a smile on his face: I'll be right back MO30, while I'm gone can you clean my workstation please?
MO30 as it tilted it disc: Yes Papa, see you when you get back.
Mineta left his room but accidentally left the door open as he heads down stairs with the class in the commen room, as Mineta was about to head out the door Mei opened it and smiled at him.
Mei with a smile on her face: Hi Small Hentai, where you going?
Mineta with a smile on his face: I'm going to my parents house real quick to pick up something and visit, I'll be right back.
Iida with a smile on his face: Ok Mineta be safe.
Mineta nods his head as he leaves and as he past Mei she noticed the smell of oil and metals, Mei walked in the commen room with a new invention that she wanted to show everyone.
Mei with a smile on her face: Hey guys I wanted to show you my new baby I made.
Mina with a nervous expression on her face: Mei are you sure it safe?
Mei with a smile on her face: Of course, it's going to be a new way to bring equipment to the fight.
Midoriya with a nervous smile on his face: Well it doesn't hurt to try.
Mei was excited as she turned on her machine as the class hid behind the couch, and just as they expected the machine started sparking and then blow up.
(BOOM)
Mei with a sad expression on her face: Aww man, I thought it was perfect.
Mei sat down on the couch with her head down with a sad look on her face, the class wanted to help but what could do?
MO30 as she floated down to Mei: What seems to be the problem Mei?
Just then the whole rooms attention was drowned to MO30 as Mei's eyes sparkle in excitement.
Momo with a shocked look on her face: What are you, or better yet who are you?
Mei with a smile on her face: Aw aren't you just the cutest flying baby.
MO30 as it tilted it disc: Papa was the only one that called me Baby, know he calls me MO30.
MO30 flies over to the broken machine as it scans it, after it was done scanning it was about to fly to Mineta's room until Mei asked another question that shocked everyone.
Mei with a blush on her face: By any chance is your Papa single, I would love to work with him?
Tsuyu with a shocked look on her face: Mei, you don't even know who this "Papa" is, Ribbit.
Momo with a shocked look on her face: So MO30, who is your Papa?
MO30 as it flashed pink lights: My Papa is Minoru Mineta.
Everyone with a shocked look on their faces: WHAT?
MO30 flies to Mineta room and grabs some tools and then flies back to the damaged machine as MO30 got to work, it took MO30 at least 10 minutes to finish the broken machine with everyone in awe especially Mei.
Tooru with a smile on her face even though no one can see it: Who knew Mineta was a robotic genius.
Tsuyu with a smile on her face: I mean it's obvious the he is, but I find kinda cute is the fact that MO30 as the same name as Momo.
Everyone in the room giggled as Momo blushed at the thought until Mineta came into the room with a big box in his hands.
Mineta with a confused look on his face: Hi everyone, (Mineta sees MO30 out of his room) MO30 how'd you get out of my room?
MO30 as blue light came on: Sorry Papa, your door was open and I heard an explosion so I came to see what happened.
Mineta with a concerned look on his face: Aww don't be upset MO30, since everyone seen you I have a surprise for you.
Everyone in the room got curious as Mineta opened the box as another Flying Saucer flied to MO30.
MI-neta as it tilted its disc: Hello I am MI-neta, it's nice to meet you.
MO30 as bright pink lights came on: Um H-hi I'm MO30, Papa who is he?
Mineta with a smile on his face: I noticed you've been lonely when I'm gone so I made him to keep you company.
MI-neta and MO30 fly around the room as the class started talked to Mineta about the robots, But Momo and Mei were having their own little talk as they glance at each other.
Mei with a smirk on her face: He's going to be my partner Yuoyorozu and we are going to make lots of babies together.
Momo with a smirk on her face: Oh is that so, you forgot that MO30 is basically me and he made MI-neta so they can be together so you lose.
Mei and Momo stared at each other as the class was asking Mineta if he could make them their own robots, and Mineta happy agreed as MI-neta and MO30 looked at Momo, Mei, and Mineta.
MI-neta/MO30: We get 2 Mommy's and 1 Papa.
The End
I was bored ignore the outfit :ᴘ
Izuku rushed into the bedroom to check on Mineta, who slumped lazily. “Hey, Mineta. You okay?” Izuku asked the grape-flavored teen.
“GONE!” Mineta lifted his head up with a wail in drunk depression. “It’s all gone! All of it is gone! Bye-bye! Whoo-hoo! See ya!”
“What happened to you?” Izuku asked, concerned for Mineta’s drunken depressed state.
Mineta’s voice rose up in insanity. “One minute you’re defending the whole galaxy, and suddenly you find yourself sucking down Darjeeling with Marie Antoinette and her little sister…”
The two headless dolls that were sitting with Mineta waved to Izuku. “I think you’ve had enough tea for today.” Izuku removed the teapot from Mineta’s currently dismembered arm. “Let’s get you out of here, Mineta.” Izuku said as he started to escort Mineta out of the room. Mineta immediately snapped in Izuku’s face. The grape-flavored teen yelled insanely, “DON’T YOU GET?! DO YOU SEE THE HAT?!” He gestures to the flower hat that he has been wearing. “I AM MRS. MIDORI!” He then broke into crazed laughter.
“Snap out of it, Mineta!” Izuku shouted. As Mineta continued laughing like a complete maniac, the hero toy opened up Mineta’s helmet, and smacked him in the face with his own arm. Knocking him back to his senses. “I-I-I-I’m sorry.” Mineta said soberly, having to come to his senses. “You’re right, I’m just depressed. That’s all.” Mineta said, taking his arm back and walking out into the hallway, while Izuku followed him. “I can get through this.” Mineta said, and breaking immediately at the next second. “OH, I’M A SHAM!”
“SSSSSHHHH!!!!!” Izuku hushed desperately, gesturing Mineta to keep it down. “Quiet, Mineta!”
“Look at me! I can’t fly out of the window!” Mineta wailed, gesturing to the opened window, indirectly giving Izuku an idea.
“Does the hat look good? Tell me the hat looks good. The apron’s a bit much…”
“Out the window! Mineta, you’re a genius!” Izuku congratulated Mineta. Izuku grabbed the lights, and looping them around his arm. “C’mon! This way!” Izuku grabbed Mineta and drags him back with him.
“Years of academy training… WASTED!”
In my latest chapter of my Minetaverse story, Ambrosia X, Ignacio Solis has injured and knocked out three thirds of class 1B, leaving the 1A half of Arashi Ryu and the remaining members of 1B, Tetsutetsu, Shishida, Kaibara, Kamakiri, and Rin.
Only The 1A reserves still remain conscious, Uraraka, Hagakure, Asui, Sero, Shoji, Ojiro, Sato, Aoyama, and Koda.
Also Jiro has been found out to be behind Mineta’s Expulsion.
Comment below
So which of the 1A reserves join the team? The top five members get the five vacancies. Also…
Does Jiro stay of the team or not?
I know this is weird but are y'all just fans of Mineta or are there any actual Mineta simps? That just bugged me for some reason and I had to ask.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP Cere groaned as her alarm went off, she felt around her bed for the off switch and hit the button. She could already hear people coming up the stairs. Her ears buzzed and she knew it was the police, and the press were outside.
Cere slowly sat up in bed, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She could hear the police outside her room as they started banging on the door.
Hey don’t do that, I’ll bring her out. Cere stretched as she hears the muffled voice of her adopted father. And as the door opened she sensed the presence of the number two hero. Shoto: Cere, the police are here to talk to you. You’re not in trouble.
Cere sat there for a moment before groggily replying.
Cere: What do they want with me?
She feels him sitting on the edge of her bed and part her bangs, revealing her haunting cataracts. She listens to his thoughts and figures out…oh. Cere: My brother and sister, they’ve been found?
Shoto nodded, a solemn look on his face. He was concerned for them, he saw a lot of himself in the two of them. He didn’t want anything bad happening to them. He didn’t want to see them fall down the wrong path.
Cere listened to her foster father’s thoughts and sighed. Cere: I’ll answer whatever questions the police have for me.
Shoto nods, getting up from the bed and letting the police into the room. A few officers walked into the room, their eyes immediately falling on Cere. They approached her cautiously, not sure what to think of the girl with cataracts for eyes.
Cere: You wanted to speak with me?
One of the officers spoke up, his voice firm and professional.
Police Officer: Yes, we just have a few questions for you.
Cere: I may not have the answers but I’ll try my best.
The officer nods and sits in a small chair that has been brought into the room. He looks down at a small notebook before back up at Cere.
Police officer: How well would you say you know your brother and sister?
Cere: Not as well as I’d like, we’re only three years apart yet we haven’t seen each other often. We each got different foster parents.
The officer nods, writing down something on the notebook. He looks back up at her for a moment.
Police: So you don’t know them very well? Do you have any idea where they might have gone?
Cere: My sister just wants to prove that our Dad was a hero, she doesn’t want to stoop to the villain’s standards. And my brother just wants us to be safe, he detests violence but he was born with a quirk that makes him lash out.
The officer looked slightly confused at the answer but doesn't say anything. He wrote down the information in his notebook. The officer looked back up at her with his usual cold demeanor.
Police Officer: Do you know if they had planned this for a long time?
Cere: I know it started with the incidents that happened three years ago. That’s when we tried to run.
The officer continued writing in his notebook as he nods at the information. He then looks up at her again but his eyes soften slightly.
Police Officer: You realize that if your siblings do something drastic they could get arrested right? Worst case scenario, they could be sent to Tartarus.
Cere: P-Please reconsider, they’re only fifteen, they don’t even really want this! It’s just…been very difficult for us.
The officer looked at the young girl in front of him. She was desperate and worried. The thought of them being sent to Tartarus didn’t sit well with him. He closed his notebook and stood up.
Police Officer: We’ll keep everything in mind. We’ll let you know if they’re found.
As the officers left, Cere gripped her walking stick as she choked back a sob. She felt Shoto wrap his arms around her.
He held her close, rubbing her back in an attempt to try and calm her down. He could feel her body tremble as she fought back the tears.
Cere: I’m trying to hold out, I’ve been optimistic my entire life. Why is it so hard for a handout or some compassion?
Shoto sighs, continuing to comfort his adopted daughter. He knew the harsh world they lived in. He gently lifted her head, looking down at her face.
Shoto: You’re one of the strongest, most optimistic people I know.
Cere: Why isn’t it enough, why does it still hurt so much inside?
Shoto gently brushed her hair with his fingers, continuing to hold her close.
Shoto: I don’t know, life isn’t fair, it’s cruel. But you have a lot of people who love and care about you.
Cere: You don’t mean that, your wife is scared of me. Whenever she looks at me all she can see is my Dad.
Shoto sighs as he continues to hold her. It was true, Momo was worried about Cere. She was worried that Cere would follow in her father’s footsteps. But Shoto saw the good in her, as did most people.
Shoto: She’s worried but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t love you.
Shoto picks her up and carries her to the kitchen where his wife is. Also at the table were his twin sons getting ready for school. Shoto: Shoka, Kita, did you save some breakfast for your sister?
The boys looked up from their food, both of them nodded. Shoka spoke up first, a slightly mischievous tone to his voice.
Shoka: Yeah we didn’t want her to be cranky.
Kita: Don’t tease her, she’s having a difficult morning.
Shoto nods, setting down Cere at the table. He took a few moments to fix her a plate before setting the plate of food down in front of her.
Shoto: Here you are. Eat up.
Cere felt around the table until Shoka put utensils in her hand.
As Cere started eating, Momo watched her from the kitchen. Her thoughts were going a mile a minute, but on the outside she didn't let anything show. Shoto noticed his wife's behavior and walked over to her.
Shoto: I can already hear the gears turning in your head. Something on your mind?
Cere let out a soft, annoyed huff as she heard Shoka’s comment. She tried to hide the fact that she was blushing. Kita elbowed his brother, shooting him a warning look.
Cere could sense his expression and continued to eat.
Cere: Keep mocking me and I’ll tell mom how you were up super late the other night.
Shoka froze in his seat, his eyes filled with terror. He slowly looked at her as he spoke, the fear in his voice clear.
Shoka: You wouldn’t dare.
The girl playfully stuck her tongue out as she could hear him trying not to burn the table…again.
Shoka groaned in response, slumping down in his chair dramatically. He was trying to keep himself from doing exactly that. Kita shook his head at his brother’s antics.
Shoto: Alright hurry up and finish your breakfast, you’ve got school.
Shoka groaned. He didn’t want to go to school. Kita finished his breakfast quickly and got up from his seat. He looked over at his brother and lightly smacked his head.
Kita: Come on, we’re gonna be late for class if you keep pouting.
Kita picked Cere up and carried her to the bathroom as she finished.
Cere used her walking stick to find the bathroom counter. She sat it down and rinsed her hands off before brushing her hair to make herself look somewhat decent. Kita handed her a toothbrush, knowing she would want to brush her teeth before she left.
Shoka groaned loudly as he heard Kita and Cere go running to the bathroom to brush their teeth. At that moment, Shoto came up behind Momo, wrapping his arms around her waist. Shoto whispered: She still thinks you’re afraid of her.
Momo leaned back to rest her head against her husband's shoulder. She could hear the concern in his voice and let out a soft sigh.
Momo: I know... I’m not really afraid of her, I’m just worried...
Shoto: I know it’s difficult for you with her resemblance to Mineta and what happened.
Momo nodded softly, she didn’t like that Cere was the spitting image of her biological father, but she knew that the girl was completely innocent.
Momo: I’m trying to act like it doesn’t bother me but she’s so smart and observant. I don’t want to make her think I hate her.
Shoto: Tell her then, don’t bottle it up.
Momo took a deep sigh. She knew that she should talk to Cere, it would clear up the tension that’s been lingering in the house.
Momo: You’re right... I’ll talk to her after we drop the boys off at school.
Kita: How is your hair this messy? Kita brushed Cere’s hair while looking at her in the mirror.
Cere let out a huff and stuck her tongue out at Kita, even though she couldn’t see him. She didn’t like when he made comments about her hair, it was a little embarrassing that most of the time she didn’t know exactly how messy it looked.
Cere: It’s not that bad...
Shoka: How do you know, you can’t see! Shoka laughs from the hallway as Kita materializes snow in his hand and chucks it at his brother.
Cere smiled as she heard the sound of Shoka yelping as snow hit him. She had to bite her lip slightly to keep herself from laughing.
Kita kisses his sister’s cheek as he finishes her hair and helps her get dressed and outside to the car.
Cere grabs her walking stick as Kita helps her out of the house. She could faintly hear the bickering of the twins. Shoto and Momo were already waiting in the car, watching the kids closely as they approached.
As soon as they arrive Cere gets an uneasy feeling. She wanders off while her mother feigns distress towards Shoka, he’d forgotten/chose not to do his tie. This was UA high school, the arbiter of her father, her real father’s misery.
Kita noticed that Cere was distracted. He glanced at her, a look of concern on his face.
Kita: Are you okay?
Cere: I’m fine…
Kita’s face fell. He could tell when his sister lied, she was terrible at it. He looked around for a moment, noticing that no one was around. He decided to press her on it.
Kita: No you’re not. Why are you so on edge?
Cere: You know who my real father is, you know what happened to him, you know it all started here.
Kita’s face fell as he looked towards the school. He knew better than anyone what their father had gone through in this school.
Kita: Don’t worry about what happened here in the past, it’s a different place now.
Cere: You know that doesn’t mean anything, you know what happened to my brother and sister.
Kita took a deep breath and looked back down at his sister. He gently placed a hand on her shoulder. He spoke in a soft hushed tone.
Kita: I know it’s hard for you, I know the past is like a plague in your head. But please, try not to focus on it so much. **
Later on Cere would be dropped off at middle school before Momo stopped her.
Momo could see that Cere was still on edge and worried. She gently stopped her daughter. Both hands on her shoulders to guide her.
Momo: Cere? Can I talk to you for a moment?
Cere: What is it, did I do something wrong?
Momo shook her head no.
Momo: No You didn’t do anything wrong. I just want to talk to you about something. Can we sit down? Cere: Yes?
Momo took a seat on the bench outside the entrance and gently pulled Cere to sit down next to her. She was quiet for a moment before she finally spoke up.
Momo: Cere... there’s something that we need to talk about.
Cere: What is it?
Momo took a deep breath. She was nervous to have this conversation. She knew that she should’ve done this earlier. She gently reached out and placed her hands on Cere’s shoulders, her expression a soft mixture of concern and worry.
Momo: I’m going to say some things that I understand you might not like but I want you to listen. You know I love you, right? Cere: You do?
Momo nodded, a soft smile on her face.
Momo: Of course I do, you’re my daughter. And you always will be. No matter what.
Cere: Even if I’m not your actual daughter and my real Dad harassed you in high school?
Momo’s heart shattered a little. She hadn’t realized that Cere thought so badly about herself.
Momo: Yes, you are still my daughter. Even if you are Mineta’s biological child you will always be my baby, Cere.
Cere:…Dad thought the world of you, even back when he was a pervert. It ate him alive that he never really got to tell you how sorry he was.
Momo’s expression softened as she listened to Cere. A mix of pain and sympathy appearing on her face. She reached up and gently tucked some of Cere’s hair behind her ears, being careful and gentle as she did so.
Momo: I know he did... and sometimes it’s hard for me to look at you and not think about him...
Cere: I know…
Momo wrapped her arms around her daughter and pulled her close. She held her gently, like she had done when she was just a baby.
Momo: But no matter what, I will always love you. Okay? Even if you look like him... even if you get into some of the same habits as him... I will love you no matter what.
Cere felt her tears spill over as the dam burst. She felt her cheeks warming up from her blushing. Cere flustered: I want to believe.
Momo gently squeezed her tighter, gently letting out a soft chuckle. She brushed some of Cere’s hair away from her face before speaking.
Momo: Then believe me. You’re my daughter and you always will be. I love you, Cere.
Cere: I love you too…Mom.
Momo smiled softly as she heard her call her “Mom”. She’s never called her that before. Momo moved so that Cere was sitting on her lap. She gently began to rock back and forth, like when Cere was nothing more than a mere infant.
After a while she finally let Cere go and make it to class on time. As soon as she was gone she immediately called someone. Momo: Tsuyu, are you there?
After a few rings on the other end, Tsuyu answered. Her tone of voice was cheerful and friendly, as it always was.
Tsuyu: Hey Momo, what’s up?
Momo: They found Makoto. Momo could hear the distinct sound of a plate shattering in the background.
Tsuyu was quiet for a moment. A mix of shock and anger on her face. She didn’t know if she wanted to cry or rage. She finally replied after a few minutes of just taking in the information.
Tsuyu: Where is she?
Momo: The police said she was searching for something at Nagoya Television Station. She was looking for them.
Tsuyu’s grip on her phone tightened, her knuckles turning white in the process. She felt a mix of anger and sadness swirling in her gut.
Tsuyu: Did she find anything?
Momo: They said she ran off with a laptop, they lost her in the sewers.
Tsuyu clenched her jaw as she let out a huff of frustration. It took all of her self control not to scream or throw her phone. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself as best as she could.
Tsuyu: Have you told Deku and the others yet?
Momo: Some of them already know, Kamui Woods and Mt. Lady were there.
Tsuyu took a deep breath. It was expected that they be there. She just hoped that they didn’t do anything drastic.
Tsuyu: What did they do? When they saw her?
Momo: Tsuyu I swear to you they’re doing the best they can not to hurt her.
Tsuyu was silent for a few moments. Her mind is going through a million thoughts at that moment. The main thought being “I want her back”.
Tsuyu: Do they have any leads?
Momo: Nothing concrete but I’ll let you know.
There was a moment of silence on Tsuyu’s end, before she finally spoke up. Her voice was quiet, almost like a whisper. It was full of a mix of frustration, pain and worry.
Tsuyu: Please do. I just... I want her back...
Momo: Tsu, it wasn’t your fault, your brother and sister are grown adults now. You’re not responsible for what they did to her.
Tsuyu took a shaky deep breath. She was trying her hardest not to start crying. She knew that it wasn’t her fault... but some part of her heart was telling her it was and that part was screaming how it should’ve been her taken instead.
Tsuyu: I know that... but I was her mother... I should’ve seen the signs...
Momo: You’re doing your best, all of us are…
Tsuyu finally let a few tears fall. The pain and worry over took her sense for a few moments. She choked on a few sobs as she spoke.
Tsuyu: I want my baby back...
Momo: I know…
Tsuyu was quiet for a few moments. Her mind was going through a million possibilities at the moment. The main one being “What if they don’t find her?” The mere thought sent a shiver up her spine and a wave of nausea over her body. **
Akari Mineta was awoken by a light shining through his window. Crawling out from under the bed he rubbed the sleep from his eyes and began creeping towards the bathroom.
The house was relatively quiet. There was a distant noise of the TV being on but that was it. The house was pretty dark, other than the light coming from the windows and the night light in the bathroom. It illuminated the hall softly, making it easy for Akari to find his way around the house.
That’s when he feels a pair of hands lifting him up. He looks into the mirror to see his godfather staring back. Denki Kaminari had just rolled out of bed from the looks of it.
Denki was rubbing the sleep from his eyes. His blonde hair was a mess, spiky and poking up in all sorts of directions. His golden eyes were still bloodshot from the interrupted sleep and there was dark markings on his cheek, a sign that he had been in a rush to leave the bed. Despite all that, he still looked at his godson with a smile. Denki: Shouldn’t you be asleep right now?
Akari:…Nightmare…
Denki gently set his godson down on the bathroom counter. He let out a yawn as he leaned against the counter to keep himself awake. He took a good look at Akari and gently ruffled his hair to try and fix it a bit.
Denki: How bad was the nightmare?
Akari held up a drawing of something that resembles a feline creature cloaked in purple fur. Its eyes showcase black pupils encircled by white irises and a cat-like nose. The creature’s mouth can unhinge widely, devoid of discernible teeth, forming an abyss-like void.
Denki studied the drawing for a few seconds, his tired eyes looking it over before he looked at his godson. He looked almost a bit concerned but he tried to brush away the feeling and just look at the drawing again.
Denki: What is that supposed to be, bud?
Akari: Saw him…
Denki’s eyebrows furrowed. Now that definitely did not help with the growing gnawing feeling of dread that was slowly building up in his stomach. He put on a smile, despite the growing feeling of unease, and leaned a little closer to the drawing.
Denki: You saw... that thing in your nightmare?
Akari nodded sleepily as he buried his face in the crook of his godfather’s neck. His left eye was starting to ache.
Denki felt his heart ache as he saw his godson getting more and more tired. He gently grabbed Akari and held him close, trying to comfort him. He gently ran his fingers through the young kid’s hair, hoping to soothe him a bit more.
Denki: Why don’t you try an’ get some more sleep then? You can stay with me for the night. How does that sound?
Akari: What about Ms. Kyoka?
Denki let out a soft chuckle at his question. Despite the exhaustion on his face, he still found the question endearing and cute.
Denki: Trust me, she won’t mind. She understands, don’t worry about her. Now you just need to worry about gettin’ some sleep.
Akari wanted to believe that, but his phantom pains told him otherwise. The pale scarred tissue ached from what happened that night.
Denki was gently rocking Akari back and forth in his arms as he felt the kid start to tremble a bit. He raised a hand and gently patted his godson’s back.
Denki: You gonna tell me what’s wrong? I know how you get when you’re hiding somethin’...
Akari: It hurts when it’s cold…
Denki was quiet for a moment as he tried to process that statement. It took him a few moments before he realized that the phantom pains were back. He sighed and gently rocked Akari some more, trying to soothe him.
Denki: You want some pain meds?
Akari: Mhmm…
Denki gently set his godson down onto the counter. He made sure that Akari was fine sitting on his own before turning towards the medicine cabinet.
Denki: You stay there and I’ll grab some. You’re not gonna fall off the counter, are you?
As Akari sits on the counter he heard the front door open. Kyoka: I’m home.
Denki flinched at the sound of Kyoka’s arrival. He hadn’t realized she would be back so soon. He opened the medicine cabinet and began searching through it, trying to find the painkillers.
Denki: Welcome back, babe.
Kyoka came into the bathroom and smiled at the sight of her husband and her son. She opened her mouth to greet them back before noticing that something was off.
Kyoka: What’s going on? Is he okay?
Denki finally found the pain killers. They were hidden behind a few other bottles and were a bit hard to find because of that. He closed the medicine cabinet and grabbed a bottle of water from the counter.
Denki: There we go. Just a little phantom pain.
Kyoka didn’t look surprised by the phantom pain. She already expected it to happen at some point. She leaned against the doorframe of the bathroom, a frown on her face as she looks at her son.
Kyoka: He didn’t have a good nightmare, did he?
Denki: No..he didn’t. He didn’t even bother to turn around.
Kyoka could see the tired expression on her husband’s face. He looked beyond exhausted. Clearly in dire need of sleep right now. She let out a sigh and gently took the painkillers from him and the water. She could tell that he wanted to help but he needed rest more than anything.
Kyoka: Take a step back. I’ll handle him.
Denki: Are you sure…you’re not gonna stab him in the eye again?
Kyoka gave her husband a glare as he brought up that moment. She has apologized and beat herself up so much over it.
Kyoka: You’re never going to let me live that down, are you?
Denki: No I won’t…
Kyoka took a deep breath to get control of her emotions. She turned her head and looked at her son, who was still sitting on the counter. She took a step closer to him and held out the painkillers for him.
Kyoka: Here, sweetie. Take these and you’ll feel better. Trust me, okay?
Akari shirked away from her.
Kyoka felt her heart clench a bit at the reaction. She knew that he was scared of her. Hell, they all were at this point. That didn’t mean it didn’t hurt though.
Kyoka: Sweetie, it’s okay. I’m not going to hurt you. I’m just trying to help.
He reached out and took the water from her.
Kyoka felt a bit of relief run through her. The fact he was willing to take the water from her was a good sign... right?
She watched as he took the painkillers and swallowed them, washing them down with the water he had. She smiled and patted his head a bit.
Kyoka: There we go. You feeling any better?
Akari: Mm
Kyoka smiled a bit. This was good, right? She reached out again and gently ran her hand through his hair, the same way her husband had done. She made it look like she wasn’t being too cautious with her actions.
Kyoka: You think you can get back to bed, sweetie?
Akari: Mm
Kyoka couldn’t help but relax at the sight of him agreeing. A part of her was surprised that he was willing to agree to this. She gently scooped him up and held him in her arms.
Kyoka: Alright. Let’s get you back to bed, okay?
Denki watched as Kyoka picked Akari up in her arms, making sure that he wasn’t gonna fall or anything. He let out a soft yawn as his body reminded him that he was in need of a lot of sleep.
Kyoka held him close and began to walk out of the bathroom and back to his room. She could feel his small body press up against her and a small part of her felt that he was doing it because he was scared. It sent a small pang of guilt through her but she ignored it as best as she could. She reached his bed and gently set him down onto it.
Akari was trembling a bit. The fear and anxiety he was feeling was clearly showing in his entire body. He seemed to be scared that she was going to do something to him while she held him. He quickly squirmed under the covers and pulled them over his head.
In the hallway Jiro couldn’t help but mull over the fear she’d instilled into this little boy. All because she couldn’t bring herself to forgive the man that he looks like.
Denki came up behind Kyoka and wrapped his arms around her waist, nuzzling his face into her hair. He was quiet for a moment as he just held onto her, the only sound was from his steady breathing and the occasional hum. He let out a deep, exhausted sigh.
Kyoka: Why is he haunting me even when he’s not here? Why do I see Mineta’s face long after he’s dead?
Denki was silent for a moment as he heard his wife’s muttered statements. He gently held her even closer as he listened to her. He knew exactly what she was feeling, she had told him multiple times in the past.
Denki: ... it’s not your fault…
Kyoka: But it is, I turned everyone against him because I thought he tried to roofy us! I didn’t let you check on him when he left the country, I didn’t let you go to your best friend’s wedding! Now his kids are without a dad.
Denki held her more firmly as she continued to ramble on. He couldn’t help but look a bit guilty when she brought up the entire roofie incident and the wedding at the same time. He let out another sigh and gently ran his hands up and down her sides, trying to sooth her.
Denki: Shhh... You need to breathe, babe...
Denki gently turned his wife around and brought her into his arms. He could feel that she was starting to shake as she was clearly stressed out of her mind. He held her close and gently stroked her hair to try to calm her down.
Denki: You’re okay… You’re okay…
Kyoka: You were his best friend and we all thought he killed you…
Denki held her tighter and buried his face into her neck.
Denki: I know... I know... It’s not your fault... you didn’t know...
Kyoka: We killed him, and we got Kaori killed because we didn’t want to believe she’d fallen in love with him.
Denki grimaced a bit as the topic of Kaori got brought up. It was one that he had always try to avoid. He let go of Kyoka for a second before cupping her face in his hands.
Denki: Hey... look at me...
Denki gently guided her to look at him. He felt his heart clench at the look of grief and sorrow that was in her eyes. It broke him a little bit knowing that she was feeling this way, but he continued to press on.
Denki: None of that was your fault, okay...?
Kyoka: Then whose fault was it Denki!? This mystery conspiracy group you thought you found and tried to kill you?
Denki couldn’t help but grimace a bit as she brought this up. He quickly shook his head and tried to get her to focus. He could see that she was on the verge of a breakdown...
Denki: Baby, you need to calm down, okay? Just take a few deep breaths for me.
Kyoka: I don’t want to be the cause of another villain group from Mineta’s kids. I don’t want another Black Orchard Protocol.
Denki: Kyoka. Listen to me right now. You will not cause this little group of kids to turn into a villain group. Understand me? You. Will. Not.
Kyoka: I hope you’re right…
Denki let out a sigh as he heard the uncertainty in her voice. He pulled her face closer to his and gently rested his forehead against hers. He closed his eyes to focus on her and her alone.
Denki: I promise you I’m right, okay? Those kids will not turn out like a gang of villains because of you. I promise
Kyoka: Then why are two of them running from us, trying to pick up where their Dad left off?
Denki couldn’t help but freeze up a bit as she stated this. He had to admit that she had a point. But he was still determined to do anything he could to make sure this didn’t happen.
Denki: I... I don’t know... but I refuse to let them fall to villainy. I will do anything and everything I can to prevent that from happening. I will make sure of it.
Koda: You can’t go, Mineta. You’ll never make it there.
Mineta: (drawing up a map) Izuku once risked his life to save me. I couldn’t call myself his friend, it I weren’t willing to do the same. So, who’s with me?
