Chapter 10 - Titanic Wants Intense Karma
I'm salty with Power-Loader right now.
So Hatsume and I finished my mobility gear and even tested it to make sure it works. Now with tons of free time on our hands, this leaves us to create whatever our heart desires! This lead to us working on what Hatsume wanted to work on: A literal robot suit for the Sports Festival. You see, she happens to be fantastic at advertising, but she needs a product to advertise at the festival. You should know where this is going. We built a prototype and decided to test it in the testing room with Hatsume wearing it because she is going to have to wear it eventually anyway.
Well, we fucked up somewhere because the next thing we know, Hatsume is trapped in the suit that is locked in place. Yeah, that might need some work. As it turns out, you don't destroy the machine while a person is in it. Did she get out safe? Yes. Was Power-Loader happy? Fuck no. Now, we're only allowed to work together after school or during lunch with Power-Loader there to mother us. It wasn't even that bad!
Life has been going great! I made great friends with a creature rat thing to practice analysis. I got Hatsume to help me rule the world. All Might has decided that ignoring me is the best treatment unless he wants to die. Then, I became great friends with Nemuri and Hizashi. Finally, I live with Shouta.
Speaking of Shouta, he seems to be in a better mood. Maybe because he's getting actual food in his system besides ramen noodles? I don't know! Or perhaps the fact his apartment looks like an apartment and not a trash bin? Yeah, he's in an actual living space now. Too bad, I might be kicked out soon for the stupidity I am about to perform.
It's lunchtime, and Nemuri, Hizashi, and I are ready to show the world what we are made of. Hizashi got the mic, and Nemuri and I are in old clothing we managed to get by taking a Youtube sewing class to make them. We both have bandaids on from it. Now...
"ACTION, PRESENT MIC!" Hizashi gives me a broad smile before putting some music on his directional mic around his neck. Thinking about it, I should upgrade it. No wonder he has neck problems. The bitch is huge! Anyway, what song did we put on?
'My Heart Will Go On' from the movie Titanic. The top floor of the cafeteria was closed off for a reason.
You see, I have too much free time on my hands, so Nemuri and I managed to find to choreograph to this song. We even managed to get Hizashi to sing it.
Yes, the man can sing. He fakes his crappy ass singing. Anywho, we arranged the table so that we have a whole dance floor right by the railing like in the movie. We even did the iconic part that looks like we're going to fly away from our troubles. However, due to the size difference, I had to get on her back to replicate the scene. I can see the smile on student's faces with their laughter echoing in the room. That job is done. With the music still going, we had one final part. I get off Nemuri's back and run, jumping over the railing like the overdramatic bitch I am. Do not worry; I land safely. However, before I can continue the routine, the music suddenly stops.
"IZUKU!" Oh shit.
"IZUKU, RUN! STAY ALIVE FOR US!" I hear Hizashi and Nemuri scream. I turn around to see my comrades tied up with ribbons. Then, I see them aimed at me, and I move quickly to the side. I see Shouta jumping over the fucking railing to go after me.
"WELP, TIME TO BLAST OFF. I HOPE YOU ENJOY OUR SHOW!"I scream as I run off, avoiding another pair of ribbons barely. I dashed out of the cafeteria, and I do what I believe everyone should do when a criminal is on the property: I get out of Shouta's sight for a moment. I slide into the bathroom despite my hatred for them, get in a stall, and jump on top of the toilet. The thing is, what kind of school shooter or criminal is going to run into the bathroom during a crisis? Nobody, thus, making my plan pretty well thought out. The only problem now is I have no food. Well, at least I have a watch I can tinker with. Before that, I change out of the costume, and back into the UA uniform. I make sure to get rid of the evidence by hiding the ensemble in the trashcan. I might get it later. Time to waste my life away in a bathroom! Thankfully I got a text from my squad members.
Miccy: We are fucked. Were in the teacher's lounge right now still tied up with Shouta watching us like a hawk.
Womanizer: Yeah, I think he is expecting you to save us.
Divorce Exists: Yeah, no. You guys are screwed unless I go knock him out. How are you texting?
Womanizer: Shouta loosened it after I asked him if he was into bondage. He was blushing.
Divorce Exists: He can blush?
Womanizer: Yeah, it's adorable! I think it's because Hizashi is here.
Miccy: Why would it matter if I am here or not?
Divorce Exists: If you only knew *sigh.* I already got rid of the evidence with the costume. I wish I got a picture of him blushing though for blackmail.
Womanizer: GREAT IDEA, LET ME DO IT AGAIN!
Divorce Exists: That my girl!
Miccy: Why is your username that?
Divorce Exists: BECAUSE I WOULD ALREADY BE MARRIED IF IT DIDN'T EXISTS! I'M SINGLE AND LONELY! D; D; D;
Miccy: *pat pat* Same.
Divorce Exists: BITCH, YOU HAVE SOMEBODY! YOU TWO ARE TOO IGNORANT TO GO OUT SO YOU DON'T GET EXCUSES!
Miccy: SORRY D;
Divorce Exists: You are forgiven.
Miccy: :D
Womanizer: He is taking a nap now. I think he is pretending, so don't come in here.
Divorce Exists: Is he in a sleeping bag?
Womanizer: Yes, why?
Divorce Exists: Curiosity. Anyway, how would you think Shouta would feel if I found some cigarettes and alcohol in the bathroom? It ain't the cheap shit either! I only had the cheap shit!
Womanizer: Bring it to us. Where did you find it?
Miccy: We need some to survive the beast!
Divorce Exists: In the bathroom behind the toilet in the hallway right by the front office.
Womanizer: Was it closed?
Divorce Exists: Yip yip.
Miccy: Shouta just got up and left.
Divorce Exists: Shit, I shouldn't have said that! I need it!
Let me tell you something. I, sadly, didn't find any of that in the bathroom, even if I needed it at that moment. I crawled out of the bathroom window and wandered to the teacher's lounge.
First, I need bleach after that. Second, yep, it was all a trick. I use some pickaxes I borrowed previously from Hatsume because I thought something like this would happen, and I crawled up to the window of the teacher's lounge and crawled in. Shouta is gone, leaving Hizashi and Nemuri tied up on the couch. They both looked at me with huge smiles.
"That was just cruel, Izuku!" Nemuri states as I unwrap them.
"Great. Now, we need to jump out the window and hide," I say quickly before jumping out the window, catching Nemuri and Hizashi as they jump out.
Hizashi looks at me as I hold him bridal style, shocked, " Damn, you're strong!' I put him down gently.
"Good to know, but we need to run." We dash off into a forest UA has for some reason.
"I am alive, darlings!" I scream as I slide into the classroom, raising one hand and hitting that sassy pose.
"Izuku! That was very immature what you did in the cafeteria!" Iida demands with his chopping hands.
"What is immature, technically? Immature to one is mature to another." This shuts him up. I go to sit down, waiting for the demon to come in. Then, the moment he enters the door, he locks eyes with me before walking over to me and grabbing me by my jacket harshly.
"Class. After. School." The man growls before letting me go — time to do a 180 on his ass. I pull out a form and hand it to him.
"I had it authorized by Nezu." I see all life disappear from his eyes as he goes to his desk, sitting down and smashing his head. I get up to make sure he didn't get a concussion.
"WHY?!" Shouta groans.
"He fully supports us taking over UA. You okay?"
"Go sit down or else." I can hear the threat before stepping back to sit down, " Don't do whatever this idiot does." I bite my tongue because that means the idiot facade is working, " Anyway, we are going on a trip. You can wear your costumes but know you aren't used to them at this point, so just be warned. Don't waste time; move it." Shouta leaves the room. Maybe I should offer him alcohol after this. Wait. That might get me in trouble. Massage? Like I fucking know. Anyway, I head to the locker room to change into my costume, and I can say I'm very excited. My new upgrades got improved, so now I have upgraded boots, the leather jacket, and most vital, THE MOBILITY GEAR! YASSSSSS! I will calm down. I wrap the belt around me. It's big, but not heavy. Perfect for my use. It's already filled, so we are good there too. I head out to the buses.
"What with the addition, Izuku?" I turn to see Uraraka walking up to me.
"Mobility gear so I can move very quickly. I don't have strength, so I need to make it up with speed."
"Smart."
"EVERYBODY, PLEASE LINE UP IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER!" Iida demands. I look at the bus and realize that this is an open floor plan. I completely ignore him, getting on the bus first. "IZUKU, GET BACK OUT HERE!" The other students follow quickly after. By the time Iida gets on, he is the saddest man alive. "THIS RUINED MY PLAN!"
"Hey, at least I crushed your hopes and dreams now while they were still young!" I say with a smile. I get ignored, " Fine then, don't appreciate me. Floopy you."
"IZUKU, NO CURSING!"
"I feel neglected." The class chuckles. Shouta gets on last, glaring at me before sitting at the front, the bus taking off. Uraraka looks at me.
"I think you are dead. Aizawa-sensei seems done with you."
"Shh...it's fine. He has not expelled me yet. I got approval from Nezu."
"How?"
"I told him I would clean his office to the littlest details if he lets me do it."
"Seriously?"
"I'm a clean person. I already did it while Nezu was arguing over the phone during our time." Idle chitter-chatter fills the bus until Asui catches my attention, "Ring-a-ling, how may I help you?"
"You know I'm a straight forward person by now, kero?"
"Yes. Oh jeez, you are revealing my darkest sins!" That was loud because that caught the attention of everyone. Tokoyami catches my attention for a moment.
"May the darkness be ever in your favor."
"Hardy, I wish. I might join you and your cult. Anyway, Asui?"
"Tsu." Tsuyu states with determination.
"Tsu." I get a nod of approval.
"I notice how you seem to act...stupid. However, we all know you are smart if you can hack whatever you want, and you build everything you use. You are also over-dramatic even if no one pays attention, ribbit." Can I just say that I think the frog sounds are somewhat cute? Too bad, Bakugo tries to step in and ruin me.
"Deku always tries to be over-the-top no matter what. I swear he asks for people to beat him up. Might be into that or some shit."
"Oh, bang off, you would beat me up any way you bottom. If anything, that saved my life because people thought I was too weird to mess with except you because you're waiting for me to die so you can dance on my dead body. I pulled pranks to keep them away too." I take note that Shouta is looking back, but I ignore him. He might as well hear it.
"YOU SERIOUSLY FUCKING GOING THERE?!"
"Um, you told me to take a swan-dive off a roof and hope I get a quirk in my next life. If that doesn't tell you anything, what does? Maybe I need to try to get it through that wall thick skull of yours? That could be karma going after you." I'm in a dark place at this point as I chuckle. I can see Bakugo getting peeved off, and the students are quiet, but I could not give a fuck at this point.
"Izuku, come up here." I hear Shouta ask.
"I'm afraid Bakugo is going to attack me. No offense, but I don't want to die to a chihuahua. We have to be close anyway, yes?" As if on cue, I hear explosions and the bus stops. The class seems to snap out of it with my chihuahua comment and Bakugo yelling like a caveman. Everyone steps off, arriving at this vast place.
"Holy smokes! Is this Japan Disney!?" Kaminari asks. My fucking reaction.
"You boy, are my son now."
"Yes!" I can see Shouta shaking his head.
We step inside, and it really is Japan Disney. However, something feels off to me as we enter. Over the years, I have developed a keen sense of when something is wrong because of bullies. I see Thirteen in front of us, talking about the USJ is for practicing rescue, but it still feels off. I press the button on the side of my helmet to trigger heat sight. There are people everywhere. They are strange positions like it is an ambush. I cut off Thirteen.
"Aizawa, are there suppose to be people everywhere?" Silence at first. Then, a mist appears in the center with people coming out. Shouta looks at me.
"No, this is a villain attack. Students, stay back and run. Thirteen, protect the students." Shouta states, walking in front of the students. We start heading back, but the same mist is in front of us again.
"Sorry to interrupt, but we are here for something. We are the League of Villains, and our goal is to kill All Might." I can't help but burst out laughing, throwing the man off guard. This is another advantage to my personality, and I need to use it, " Is something funny, child?"
"Yes, your 'League of Villains' literally sounds like a rip-off to the 'League of Legends' game that is always advertised. HOWEVER, you can take All Might. I deny he will be easy, but I can support that. He is a donkey."
"IZUKU!" The whole class exclaims.
"Interesting...with our goal, would you join?"
"Depends, what is the benefits plan?" I can see the students staring wide-eyed as Shouta moves to attack the center. I know, for a fact, that this guy has to be our main trouble.
"Benefits plan?"
"Yeah, like, what are the benefits of me joining?"
"Well, what can you provide for our group?"
"I would say technology. Just throw some metal and wires at me, and I can build something. "
"We can do that." Damn, this mist guy and I might get along, and that is scary.
"What if I want specific materials?"
"We will provide the best we can."
"Who is the leader?"
"The man with the hand on his face." I turned around to see what he is talking about. He is scratching at his neck as he is watching. I can tell he is watching Shouta, looking for something. Must be detail-oriented.
"How about a deal? Depending on how well you do in this, I will decide when you are leaving whether to join or not. However, I will be fighting on the student's side." I smirk through my mask.
"Deal, now time for my actual job."
"WAIT!" That mist stops a moment. "Can I have a name before you take me to your torture chamber?"
"I'm sorry, I seem to have forgotten. I'm Kurogiri, second in command of the League of Villains. Now, it is time for you to go." The mist wraps around the majority of us, and all I see is what my soul presumably looks like, which is darkness.
The next moment, I'm in water drowning. It doesn't help that there are water villains all around me. I force myself to calm down as I swim to the right to avoid an attack, pulling out my swords while swimming upwards. Then, I feel something wrap around my waist and lift me out of the water before throwing me on a boat. I hack up some water before opening my eyes, seeing Tsuyu and fucking Mineta.
"I'm going to assume you saved me, Tsu?" I receive a nod," Thank you. Now, update?" A panicked Mineta gives me the update.
"WE ARE SURROUNDED AND SCREWED, AND THE BOAT IS SINKING AND-!"
"I get it." I stand up, walking over the edge, "Based off of Tsu being here, there is no way they know our quirks. If they did, they're stupid."
"WHY DOES THAT MATTER? WE SHOULD WAIT FOR THE HEROES TO GET HERE! NONE OF US ARE USEFUL, ESPECIALLY YOU QUIRKLESS KID!" Hard blow.
"We should wait for death to get here too, but I'm going to assume you aren't up for that?" This shuts Mineta up. I have a way with words, "Good news, I have a solution. Bad news, I want to throw you in the water, so be quiet. Tsu, I know Mineta is a pervert, but can you carry him out with a jump after I do some business down below? I'll pay you back later."
"Sure, kero." Here's the thing. This is probably a zone where I have the most significant advantage. I pull out my electric batons, putting one of them on a mode that would make people pass out but not kill them. The only way for someone to die in this solution is if they drown, and that's not my problem. I added a new feature that makes me not sacrifice this one. I press a button over the adjustment settings as I walk to the edge. The baton pops out of the handle and flies into the water, electrocuting all the people in the water. I then press the button again to reel it back, turning off the electricity. I made a hybrid between a baton and a whip with this. I realized I had no advantage in long-range; thus, a whip-baton has been born. It's only 15 feet (4.6 meters), but that works for me. The wire it's attached to is electrified too. I see the bodies float on top of the water. I turn back around to see two frighten faces.
"Don't worry; they aren't dead. They are only dead if they drown." I think this provides no comfort, " Time to jump. You can land in the water if you need to, you're safe there. " Tsu grabs Mineta with her tongue before jumping off the boat. Time to test the mobility gear. Hopefully, they aren't fucked up from the water, but I did make sure they were water-proof as much as possible, so we should be fine. I launch the grappling hook on the roof and swing quickly before dropping the hook and landing on the shoreline with a massive smile on my face next to Tsu and Mineta. IT WORKS! Now, we are at the edge of the center where Shouta is fighting, and I can tell he is taking a beating, whenever Shouta uses his quirk Erasure, his hair flies up like a badass. However, it's a clear indicator that I'm surprised he has done nothing about because that can be taken advantage of. I notice some skin on his arm looks...destroyed, showing muscle? That has to be a quirk. I would step in, but I'll believe in his abilities for now.
"We need to get out, or we will become a distraction," I state, the two students nodding as we slip past the fight and go to the entranceway, finding a destroyed body of Thirteen, but they are alive. I see a couple of students crying. Based off how it looks, I can only think of one way for this to happen, " Did Kurogiri do something here?" I get a nod from Uraraka, her shaking as she sits beside Thirteen. You see, most would think Kurogiri's quirk is purely teleportation, but if you can get creative, you can leave a half body of a hero right in front of you! "Did we at least get someone out of here to get help?"
"Y-yeah, I-I-Iida." Quickest guy in the class, smart. I nod.
Suddenly, I hear a scream. I turn around and see Shouta pinned by some giant blue bird thing.
No.
No no no no!
Hell no!
It broke his arm in half.
Fuck no. I'm not going to make Shouta suffer whatever that is. Ignoring everything around me, I dash forward and fly with my mobility gear, using the roof once again to throw myself across.
Another scream echoes from him. The other arm is broken. I growl.
HURRY UP!
While approaching, I pull out a sword and my baton. I know for a fact that even on the highest setting, it would probably take the electricity no problem. I turn on the baton at the highest setting before slamming it on my sword to make it conduct electricity. I needed to inflict pain, and I need it to flinch to get away from Shouta. Turning off the baton and putting it away, I grab the sword tightly in both hands.
I have one chance at this.
I can't fuck this up.
I let the wires drop from the roof as I approach. With the way the monster is position, it's going to land in the head with its exposed brain.
I am sorry, Shouta.
I am so fucking sorry.
I hope you can forgive me for this.
I slam the sword through the fucker's brain. It screams in agony as it lets go out Shouta, stumbling back. I twist the sword, causing the thing to fall as I pull the sword out, allowing the blood to splash on me. It's still breathing, but I can see the look in its eye. It follows directions like an obedient soldier, not caring about the consequences. It is regenerating right now.
Well, the creature understands the consequences. The people in control don't. I pull out my unused baton, using the actual highest setting. This setting should be illegal, but I never put it on the information sheet for support gear. I press the adjustment button down and slide it back, showing the true highest setting. It's strong enough to light New York City up for a minute. I shouldn't be touched after that for a while.
I slam the baton into its head, the creature pulsating as it slowly burns. I step back, everybody watching as the baton loses energy, leaving the beast.
So it is dead. It's not regenerating anymore as I step in front of Shouta to protect him. I take note of the blood from his broken arms, and the skin gone from one of his arms. I can hear him trying to catch my attention, but I ignore him. I look up at the hand boy with a sinister look on my face. The blood should be helping the image.
"Who's next?" I ask. The guy with a hand on his face scratches at his neck furiously.
"How did a kid figure out its weakness so quickly!? It hasn't even reach All Might! What kind of level is this?!" I laugh out loud despite the grim mood, swearing I feel the temperature in the room drop a few degrees.
"You put it on hardcore mode the moment you banged up Eraserhead," I growl. I notice Kurogiri beside him, him finally speaking up.
"This is the kid who is considering joining us." I can hear coughing from behind me. Sorry, Shouta, part of the act. I'm hoping someone grows some balls and arrives to get him out of here.
"Seriously? Well, you might make a good asset if you can defeat the Nomu." I chuckle.
"I beat all the guys in the water. By the way, if anybody drowns, not my fault. Your fault for attacking here. Second, a kid beat 'Nomu.' This shows how weak your group is. That is a no."
"YOU BRAT! This is more like a secret level that you have to glitch in to win!" The hand-dude screams before running at me. I grin psychotically from under my mask. I pull out my only available baton and light it up. When he approaches, I activate the mobility gear, fly above him without the wires, land behind him, and press whip mode. It crashes on his back and knocks him out.
Pathetic. I face Kurogiri.
"Is this the easy level?" I joke with a harsh tone as I reel the baton back, turning it off because that is the end beside random villains probably, " Get him out of my sight or I will end him too for the greater good." I see the mist disappear a moment. Then, it appears to grab the knocked out man before disappearing. I put the baton back, realizing I'm trembling from adrenaline.
"I AM HERE!" I hear an announcement, looking up to see All Might. I rip off my mask and glare him down.
"TOO FUCKING LATE!" I scream at him in anger before walking over to Shouta.
No one picked him up. Damn it.
The sight forces me to shove down the bile in my throat. I need to do this for him. I can't back down now.
I sigh before ripping off my leather sleeves to temporary casts for the broken him. I can smell the blood on me, not helping with the situation. Taking a deep breath in an attempt to calm down, I lift him bridal-style to carry him. I notice him looking up at me.
"I-Izuku?" Damn, he sounds like shit, and I fucking hate it.
"Shut the fuck up. Save your energy, dumbass." I state as I carry him up the stairs. All Might appears in front of me. He is not smiling
"Young Midoriya, let me take him." He holds his hands out. I walk around him. I'm not letting anybody but the paramedics touch him.
"Take care of the students. I got him, not that I would let you take him anyway." I snarl as I step outside, seeing most of the students have evacuated. They notice me and are about to approach, but I stop them with a single look. Nobody tries to move after that. Thank God an ambulance is already here. As I am walking, I feel a light tug on my tie.
"You're supposed to do that with Hizashi, not me," I say in an attempt to lighten the situation. However, even I am aware that the spark isn't there.
"Are you okay?" He asks, but he is slurring.
"Just shut up, damn it. Worry about yourself for once."
"Problem child." Yeah, no. He is slurring too much.
"Go home; you're drunk, Dadzawa."
"You know I'm capable of walking, right?"
"You don't have just broken arms, dumbass. You've lost a lot of blood. I will visit you in the medical wing as soon as possible. Or you visit me in jail, one of the two. Wait, I can escape that place." Shouta doesn't get another word in as the ambulance loads him and takes him to Recovery Girl.
I don't bother watching it go away as I get on the bus, trying to ignore the smell of blood surrounding me.
