Chapter 26: An Unexpecting Team-Up!
"Are you guys alright?!" I yelled out to Nejire, Mirio, and Tamaki.
However, I wasn't expecting for Mirio and Nejire to run and tackle me out of excitement.
"We're so glad you are here!" Mirio said in pure delight.
"We thought you were going to be gone forever!" Nejire said still in shock to seeing me still being present right in front of her.
I chuckled a bit at the sudden moment I shared with them.
"Well... it's an interesting story..."
(Earlier, At the Airport)
"Flight JL062 to Los Angeles, is now boarding. We will now begin to call the groups one by one, so depending what number is on your flight ticket, please await for when we will call you." Said the lady at the counter for the flight on a speaker.
I wasn't feeling so well as I thought about everyone I was going to leave behind, but I made this choice and I had to make the conscious decision to be with my Mom. I just couldn't leave her behind... not after all she did for me. As I was getting up to grab my bag, I felt my phone vibrate.
I was expecting a text from Mirio, Nejire, or Tamaki... however, what popped up was an New Feed update from all my Social Media accounts. "Unknown Monsters running rampant in Mustafu!" Then another video titled: "Hosu is under attack!"
It was a video recording from a civilian with a tag that was starting to trend #KaijusAreReal!
Before I knew it, the whole airport was starting to erupt in a panic as the loudspeaker went off.
"Everyone, we will be staring evacuations now. Please, everyone follow the directions of the security guards to ensure everyone's safety."
That's when everyone was running trying to leave. The insane amount of people trying to evacuate as I quickly grabbed my mother's hand to escape. The crowd of people were starting to pile up as we slowly inched closer and closer to the exit.
So far, about 5 monsters have been reported around this time. There were still some witnesses reporting of attacks within other areas just several miles out, but there was no sign of where the exact locations of these "kaijus" were. The pro heroes were already on the move to the reported sightings and locations. Knowing how large this emergency was, All Might, Endeavor, and Hawks; the top 3 heroes would be on the move with other well known ranked pro heroes. This was not an average villain attack... this was much worse. I was already wondering how everyone was doing and how everyone was handling the situation. Better yet... I was worried if they have been attack by these things.
As we were making our way outside of the airport, the ground started shaking. I can already sense that shit was about to go down. Suddenly, around the main area of the Airport, one of those "Kaijus" erupted out from the ground. The beast looked so horribly grotesque beyond belief. It had a skull for a face with horns and a body of a lion that has like spikes on it's back. It's tail was like of a giant lizard just without the scales. It's claws were like hands but covered in fur. Just looking at this thing felt like it was in some horror movie. It made my skin crawl.
As the monster opened it jaw, a loud ear piercing roar echoed throughout the airport, shattering almost every single glass window in the building.
"R

!"
As it lowers it head towards us, a blue light illuminated from the skull's eye socket. It seemingly felt like this predator has found its prey.
"W-what the hell is that thing?!"
"Run away!"
"I don't want to die!"
As the screams of the citizens collectively grew louder and louder, the monster was preparing to attack. Our of instinct, I grabbed a rock and ran towards it.
"(Y/N)!"
"It's ok mom! I got this! Trust me!"
"(Y/N)! It's too dangerous!" My mom yelled at me, but I was ready to move forward to distract the monster from attacking the citizens as quickly as I could.
"Hey! Ugly! Over here!" I yelled as I threw the rock at it. Upon impact, the monster turned towards me and roared even louder as it prepared to lunge at me. I dodged to the side as quick as I could but within an instance, the monster swung its tail towards me as it sent me flying back.
"(Y/N)!!" My mother yelled as she was in a bit of a panic.
"Is that Kid crazy?!"
"He is going to get himself killed!"
"What is wrong with him?!"
The strength this beast had was definitely far past any normal animal as the impact boosted me up to 30% in just one strike. I was sent flying back a bit, but quickly regained my footing as I landed on my feet. In that moment I activated my quirk and felt the surge of energy passing through me. With a green spark of energy flaring out, I got readied to fight by any means necessary to hold it off to let everyone escape. That was when the beast lunged towards me and was winding up it's claw ready to strike me in half. I leaped backwards to dodge it's strike, immediately following up with closing the distance as I charged up my fist really to strike at the full force of 30%.
"Taaaake this!" As my fist connected with the monster's face, the punch pushed it backwards a bit, but the creature somehow regained it's footing as it readied itself to strike me while I was still in the air.
"Oh crap! I can't dodge it now! It's going to kill me!"
Suddenly, without a moments notice, a few small red things came from one direction and stabbed the beast multiple times before something larger zipped by the head of the beast with incredible speed. A loud slicing sound erupted seconds after the impact as the monster let out a blood curtailing roar before dropping to the ground. There were two deep cut wounds on the back of the monsters neck where a very nasty looking tar was spewing out.
"I'm glad I came just in time." Said a man with large red wings and a light brown clothes. He looked very familiar as he turned around. It was the number 3 pro hero, Hawks!
"Woah! It's the number 3 pro hero!"
"Oh thank god we are saved!"
"We love you Hawks!"
As the crowd of people were excited to see a pro hero on the scene taking care of the beast, putting them at ease.
"You alright, Kid?" He asked me with a smile on his face.
"Y-yeah I am good. Just did what I had to do to protect the people here from getting killed by this large monster.
"Yeah I saw you take on this beast. Thankfully I managed to save you before you got slashed by this thing. However, whatever these things are.... they are recking havoc all across the town. These attacks had to have been planned out... but it seems whoever released these monsters ended up losing control of them all."
"That's makes sense, thankfully this one was taken care of with little casualties. I wasn't hurt too bad, but I needed to get hit if I even wanted to stand a chance against it." I said as my eyes were still glowing green with the aura still forming around me.
Before we knew it, the ground was rumbling again. We knew something was coming so Hawks and I got readied for the next fight.
"Hey Kid, you still got some fight in ya?" Hawks asked as he pulled out two really long feathers that acted like his swords.
"Yeah! I can fight!" Right when I responded, in front of us appeared another one of those monsters. A bit different looking, but it had the same killer intent as the other one. As it gave out a loud roar, Hawks and I moved in and begin to take on this beast.
Hawks launched some of his feathers towards the monster as he took off to the air to strike from above. As I boosted myself up, I ran up to the monster and delivered a strong uppercut as it was distracted by Hawks.
"Shoooooryuken!" Upon impact, the Monster riled back as it quickly turned around and swung his tail at full speed.
"Shit!" I braced myself as the tail swipe sent me flying backwards at top speed. Before I crashed into the building, I felt something tug me upwards as I nearly missed the building. It was a few of Hawks feathers that he shot towards me to save me from crashing into the building and dropped me safely.
"Don't get so reckless!" Hawks said as he zipped down towards the monster to slice it. However, the monster barely managed to dodge it as a cut appeared on it's cheek. The monster took this chance to try and strike Hawks with its claws which was covered in lightning.
Right before it got close to striking Hawks, I was boosted up to 50%, giving me a significant increase in both speed and strength. I ran as quickly as I could right next to Hawks. I quickly charged up a punch towards the claw to prevent it from hitting Hawks, I thought I had managed to save Hawks from getting hurt but it looks like he was one step ahead of me as he launched two long feathers that stabbed both the monsters hand and forearm, following up with several small feathers that targeted the beast's head. As soon as I saw the feathers in front of me, I had a similar idea to what was done earlier. I grabbed the feather sword that was jammed into the hand of the beast and pulled it out. With a sudden burst into my legs and arms, I winded up my new weapon. It was just like in this Samurai movies!
"Take this!" As I lunged towards the monster's claw swinging the feather sword.
Within a blink of an eye, I had dashed passed the beast, delivering one hell of a slash! As the trail of my aura was lingering in the air. Suddenly, the monsters hand gets cut off causing it to tumble down to the floor as it let out a roar of pain.
"Holy Crap! That was awesome! Let's do it again! Together!" As Hawks pulled out one of his long feathers winding up like a sword, prepping up to strike the beast.
"Let's put this deranged beast down, once and for all."
As Hawks flew towards the monster, I grinned happily as I turned around reading myself to lunge towards the monster.
"Let's do it Hawks!"
It felt insanely quick, as we zipped through the air, as a faint sound of both Hawks and I zooming past each other, suddenly ending up behind the monster.
With the power of both our strikes, the damage we dealt to the beast so intense, that the shockwave of our speed acted as a recoil to the beast, not only sensing it backwards a bit until the noticeable damage erupted out of It's body, as the muddy tar was splattered onto the floor. The beast dropped to the floor without letting a single sound, except for it's final breath.
It was finally over. Two of those monsters were taken out thanks to Hawks and I. The people started cheering as they felt a large sense of relief.
"You did pretty damn well Kid!" Hawks said as his feathers slowly collected themselves to their original location on Hawk's back.
"Thanks! I'm glad to have been of help." I smiled as I gave Hawks a thumbs up. It was at that moment that I noticed my aura flickering a bit. Only one thing came to mind... I was about to feel the repercussions of my quirk soon. I didn't really know how I would be of use after it because now I would need medical help as soon as possible seeing of my recent history of dealing with this. However, I remembered about the random healing feat my quirk has since that day of the tournament. It couldn't hurt to try at least. The issue was... how would I be able to activate it?
I must have looked pretty dumb now as Hawks noticed me trying to pose or focus on my own quirk.
"Uhh kid you ok?"
"Yeah I-I'm fine." It wasn't long until my mom came running up to me to hug me.
I was caught by surprise as I was too busy focused on trying to heal myself.
"My goodness. (Y/N), you are crazy and you nearly gave me a heart attack."
"I-I'm sorry mom. I didn't mean-"
"And I am so proud of you for being such a brave hero. The fact you even went out of your way to help everyone here is very heroic." She said as she still held me in her arms.
I felt relieved. Despite heading into harm's way, my mother still supported me for what I did. However, I felt the orange aura in my body begin to fade and it was only a matter of time before the drawbacks will affect me more than usual. I'm not ready to fall from my own weaknesses... I'm not ready to give up now. All I could think about was my arms, especially the areas that were injured from the tail strikes. I couldn't stop thinking about it and the more I thought of it... the more... my mind fell in a trance. Suddenly I didn't even realize it but I couldn't hear anything. I saw my mom's mouth move a bit, but not a single sound could be heard. In fact I couldn't even move my body at all. What the hell was going on? Suddenly I felt the surging energy that was left in my body flowing through my arms. Which to me this was the first time I even went into this state like this... and this feeling it feels.... empty? As the aura formed on my arms, it slowly started warming my arm up before suddenly disappearing.
The moment the aura went away, all the sounds suddenly kicked back in as I heard my mother's voice."(Y/N) are you ok?"
"Huh?! Oh wait what?" I was so confused with all that just happened and I felt a bit overwhelmed by the sudden rush of sound.
"(Y/N), I was asking Hawks here to see if he can take you back home. I just got a hold of Aizawa and he is near the school. He would like to meet up with you there along with Hawks.
"O-oh yeah! I'm ready to go!" I nodded still trying to process the entire situation. Although I did feel the repercussions of my quirk on my arms, however, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. In fact, it was barely as bad as the last time I was in 50%. Did I just figure out how to heal my injuries? Yet it wasn't much but I think I am slowly making progress.
"Alright Kiddo, you ready to go? The faster we head over there the better." As Hawks was ready to fly back to town, he grabbed me as he started to move upward.
"I'll see you soon mom! I promise to keep doing my best!"
"You better! I have faith in you!" As my mom waved bye, before Hawks took off towards Mustafu.
As wind blasted through my face, I saw the city getting closer and closer in sight. There was smoke from the destruction rising through the sky. It was a bit jarring to look at but, I knew I needed to prepare myself for what's to come. My mind was racing from the thought of Mustafu having an actual monster attack happening... it was just like in the movies.
The moment we were close to reaching UA, I saw a familiar yellow energy wave shooting up towards the sky as a loud roar could be heard from left side of us.
"Hawks! I needed you to take me there first!"
"What?! Over there?! There's another monster there and it looks like it's being taken care of!"
"No! That was one of my classmates quirk! I think they are trying to take on the beast! We need to help them!"
"Alright. However, we need to do it quick! Aizawa is probably waiting for you already!"
"I know! Just trust me! We are going to fly over and you drop me!"
"What?! Are you nuts!?"
"Trust me! I know what I'm doing! We can take it on together just like the last one!"
Hawks was a bit reluctant on my sudden plan, but I think he trusted me a bit.
"Alright! Let's go!" As he zoomed towards the area, he dropped me from the sky as he yelled.
"Don't die on me, Kid!"
As I was falling down towards the monster, I needed a way to power myself up because at my current state I wasn't going to be able to lay a dent in that beast. I had to quickly improvised.
"Just like in that one series I was watching!" As I lifted my thumb towards my mouth, I pressed my teeth down as hard as I could on my thumb. In the sudden urge of pain, I felt a surge of power as I was covered in green lightning. Now I was ready!
"Get the hell from her, you overgrown freak!"
Back in present time....
