A Little Bit Of Fairy Dust 02

A little bit of Fairy Dust 02

Umemoto Hiromi is the daughter of Lady Butterfly and Lightshow, both Pro-Heroes. Despite her Quirk, Fairy, not being traditionally powerful, she is determined to prove that she has what it takes to be a successful hero and surpass her parents. A little Self-Insert!

Chapter 1: Umemoto Hiromi: Origins

"Come on Hiro, we are going to be late!"

"Tenya, we are an hour here earlier than we should be, we can never be late!"

"As the best students of the Somei Private Academy, we must be earlier here for the U.A. Entrance Exam. We would bring shame to our school if we didn't."

"Of course."

"Also we want to both enter U.A. This will show the principal and teachers what trustworthy and punctual heroes-to-be we are!"

"Whatever makes you sleep at night."

Seeming satisfied with her answer Iida Tenya marched on to U.A. High School, while Umemoto Hiromi just deadpanned behind his back.

Tenya was her best friend since kindergarten, but he was sometimes too much with his obedience to rules and his perfectionism.

She liked rules too and followed them, but sometimes you had to rebel a bit.

Not all rules were good, as too much freedom wasn't good either.

It needed a good balance.

Being the only daughter of two Pro-Heroes Hiromi or Hiro, for her friends and family, had often with them philosophic discussions over good, evil and the grey zone.

Her parents tried to raise her free and to be a good person, however, she still had a curfew and other rules to follow.

Like any teenager, she, besides Tenya apparently, fought some rules and rebelled.

Alright, it was a soft rebellion.

Mama and Papa were open with her about why this rule was important, so she didn't feel the need to break it.

Hiro only sometimes stayed out later than her curfew.

For example: maybe the movie she wanted to watch ended after curfew, so yeah then she broke the rule.

It is not like her parents caught her often, being busy with their big Hero Agency and their 50 sidekicks.

If she didn't have Tenya and his family, Hiro would be often alone.

She was thankful to have the Iida's in her life.

Still, did they need to be this earlier at the Entrance Exam?

As Hiro guessed the doors were still closed and they had to wait.

Tenya and her were the first teenagers to arrive.

Typical.

Her best friend wasted no time and re-read a book about being a good Hero, while she saved some pins on Pinterest about her favourite fictional boys and girls.

She liked to read too, but she didn't think to bring a book along while they waited, so... thirsty over drawings was it.

It was also the only action she ever got, thanks to Tenya the cockblock.

Tenya saw her as his little sister and had this crazy idea to protect her virginity or some similar shit when Hiro just wanted to date someone.

Girl, boy, neither, all, she didn't care!

Yes, she wanted to be a Pro-Hero, but she wanted to experience love too.

Maybe she would find a nice partner here in the U.A.?

But for this, she needed to ace the entrance exam.

Yeah, only one of these two things could happen.

Hiro wasn't that lucky.

Her Quirk was Fairy, not Leprauche.

Not that she needed a pot of gold, however, some Irish luck would be nice.

After one hour they finally could enter the school.

Since they were from the same school, they sat beside each other.

The auditorium filled slowly and a teacher handed out printouts.

On the printout was the information what they would expect to face today.

A writing exam and a mock battle scenario.

Her butterfly wings flutter a bit in excitement.

She couldn't wait to show all how hardcore a fairy was.

Not some cutesy little things!

As the last examines arrived the Pro-Hero Present Mic came to the stage and greeted them.

"For all you examinee listeners tuning in, welcome to my show today! Everybody says “Hey”!"

Present Mic waits for a response but gets none.

"What a refined response. Then I’ll quickly present to you the rundown on the practical exam! Are you ready?! Yeah!"

Again silence.

Hiro even yawned.

That's when she heard a voice mumbling: "It’s the Voice Hero, Present Mic! Wow! I listen to him every week on the radio. I’m so moved! All the teachers at U.A. are pro-heroes!"

Curious about who was talking so loudly to himself Hiro turned around and saw the most adorable boy she had ever seen in her life!

He had spiky green hair, soft green eyes and adorable freckles on his face.

Hiro's heart beat faster.

He was so cute and how he was so excited made him even more adorable.

She wanted to kiss his freckles!

"Hiro!", whispered Tenya. "It's not nice to stare, turn around."

Oh, ups!

Thankful, beside Tenya, no one saw her drolling for Green Cutie.

The girl returned her attention to Present Mic, who explained the mock battle scenario.

It was simple, they would be brought to a fake city district and robots would hunt them down.

With the help of their Quirks, they needed to destroy them and earn points like this.

Any robot has a different value, so be careful when choosing your opponent.

More points meant the robot was also more dangerous.

That's when Tenya raised his arm.

"May I ask a question?"

"Okay!", said Present Mic.

Tenya holds up the printout of the robots and points at a fourth one they hadn't discussed.

"On the printout, there are four types of villains! If that is a misprint, then the U.A., the most prominent school in Japan, should be ashamed of that foolish mistake! We examinees are here in this place because we wish to be moulded into exemplary heroes!"

"Tenya, I'm sure there is a logical explanation for this.", she whisper-shouted to her best friend.

Dear Amaterasu, only him!

However, Tenya didn't hear her and even turned to Green Cutie.

"In addition, you over there with the curly hair!"

"Huh?"

"You’ve been muttering this whole time. It’s distracting! If you’re here on a pleasure trip, then you should leave immediately!"

"I’m sorry…"

Nearly everybody started to laugh.

Annoyed Hiro gave Tenya a little slap, he looked at her betrayed, before she turned to Green Cutie and whisper-shouted to him: "Please excuse my best friend. He is practically married to rules and regulations and that makes him a huge pain in the butt sometimes."

Green Cutie blushed so red that he looked like a strawberry now and stuttered something like that it was alright.

Hiro gave him a cute smile, which made him even redder before she turned back to Present Mic.

The Pro-Hero explained how the fourth robot was the biggest and most dangerous, but he gave zero points.

He was there to make their lives difficult.

Nothing more.

Tenya thanked him for the explanation and set back down.

Then with the words Plus-Ultra, and Go Beyond they were dismissed.

*/*

Hiro warmed herself well up with stretching as she waited for the mock battle exam to begin.

Sadly Tenya was in another battle zone, they probably didn't want friends and classmates to help each other, so she had to get alone ready.

She warmed up her wings by fluttering with them fast, but not flying.

The red-haired girl heard how some people talked about her and pointed.

"Hey, do you see the little fairy?"

"The red-haired one?"

"Is there another fairy? That's the daughter of Lady Butterfly and Lightshow!"

"What? A daughter of two Pro-Hero? That's unfair!"

"I don't know dude, she is so tiny and cute, can she even fight?"

Laughter.

"Well, one last rival to worry about."

Hiro stopped her stretching and sent this idiot's killer intent that they started to shake.

"What did you say about me?!", she said calmly, cold as ice.

"Nothing, nothing! We are sorry.", they cried like babies.

She stopped her killing intent and gave them a sweet smile.

"Good, I thought I heard something bad about me."

"No, no!"

"Okay, start!", sounded the voice of Present Mic over the speaker around the area.

All were just confused for a second before a guy with blond spiky hair ran into the mock city and an explosion where to be heard.

Oh!

The Exam has started.

Hiro either didn't waste time and flew into the city.

A robot was waiting for her, however, she shot a light beam from her hands and melted it so.

"Okay, one point. I need more!", she mumbled to herself.

So she started to hunt for robots.

Sometimes she saved the other examinees if they were in trouble, she wasn't an asshole and her parents always said a hero has to help people.

Then when the 10 minutes were nearly up the giant robot turned up.

Hiro wanted to show off.

She wanted to bring him down, but sadly the spiky-haired blond guy with the explosive hands was faster than her and destroyed the thing.

Blinking Hiro flatter in the air.

"I wanted to do this!", she whined.

So much for showing off!

*/*

One week later, Hiro found the accepted letter from the U.A. in her mail.

Her parents were at work, so alone she watched on the Hologram how All Might congratulated her on passing the writing exam and how she made fifth place in the battle exam.

The U.A. didn't only count the villain's points, for destroying the robots, but also rescue points, for helping others.

The Hologram turned itself off and Hiro just stared at the TV.

Well, she had made it.

She would go in April to the U.A.

She even managed to make the fifth place.

This was good.

The middle was good.

Just...it would be nice to celebrate with someone...

Maybe her mama or papa were in their office.

Hopeful she called, yet only their secretary picked up.

Like the obedient daughter she was, she told the secretary she had just good news for her parents, but she would wait for them till they returned home.

Signing she rolled herself into a ball and could feel the tears in her eyes.

Was she sure about becoming a Pro-Hero?

Hiro wanted one day a family too.

A husband or wife or partner and at least three kids.

A cute little house with a garden and a cat.

Maybe even a dog.

But, when she was a Pro-Hero she would be like her parents, barely there for her children.

She didn't want them to feel like she felt right now.

Ha! If someone would want to start a family with you, you little freak!

Hiro shook her head to banish this evil voice in her, as her phone sounded with a message.

It was Tenya.

Tenya-Bro: I got in! I got in! And I saw you made fifth place congratulations Hiro!

A smile formed on Hiro's lips.

Count on Tenya to lift her spirits.

She wrote him back.

*/*

April came faster than she thought and Hiro was on the way to the U.A.

She wore her new school uniform with black tights and with pride.

Her parents had celebrated big with her for entering the school and making even fifth place.

Papa was also a student from the U.A. once and only had made tenth place.

They were so proud of her!

It had been an amazing day.

A whole day with her parents and doing whatever she liked.

But now she was back in reality.

Her parents are at work and she of to school.

U.A. was beautiful as it was huge.

Hiro know her classroom was 1A, the same as Tenya.

Seemed that both would go forever in the same class.

As she entered the room she saw her best friend squabbling with the spiky-haired blond who took the big robot from her.

"Hey Tenya, what's wrong?", she asked and walked up to them.

The blond gave her a once over and seemed to dismiss her.

Okay, she already hated him, while Tenya explained how he tried to tell their classmate it was not right to put his feet on the table.

Before Hiro could answer the door opened.

"It’s him…", said Tenya.

Like the rest of the students, Hiro turned to the newly arrived.

Oh!

It was Green Cutie!

He made it too!

Hiro was happy for him.

Also, he looked adorable in the school uniform.

Meanwhile, her best friend stepped towards Green Cutie and declared: "Good morning! My name is Iida Tenya from the --"

"Yeah, I-I know!", interrupted Green Cutie stuttering.

Gosh, he was really so adorable.

"Uhh… I’m Midoriya Izuku. It’s super nice to meet you…"

And he had even a cute name.

Hiro stepped to them, as Tenya said something about Midoriya finding out the true reason for the entrance exam.

Midoriya seemed just lost for words.

"Hi, I'm happy to see you again.", greeted Hiro with the best smile on her red lips.

Izuku blushed up a storm and hid behind his arms as he met again the pretty fairy princess who was nice to him during the entrance exam.

She looks so good in her school uniform...

Not knowing Midoriya's thoughts Hiro gave him her name: "I'm Umemoto Hiromi, but call me Hiro. All do it."

Now everyone was whispering after hearing her name.

"Umemoto? Like Umemoto Hikaru or Lightshow the Prohero?"

"And his wife Umemoto Chou alias Lady Butterfly! I love her!"

"Wow, two Pro-Hero parents, how cool!"

Hiro just deapannend.

Always the same.

Tenya patted her head.

He knows her.

Izuku wondered why pretty Hiro with the beautiful wings, shining red hair and blue eyes like the sky seemed so annoyed now.

That's when a girl's voice shouted: "Hey, I recognize that messed up hair! Falling boy!"

It was the other pretty girl he had met on the entrance exam.

Both girls he found attractive in one class wouldn't be good for his nerves.

"Not that I’m surprised -- that punch was amazing! Take that!", exclaimed Ochaco, not knowing either what Midoriya thought.

Hiro got curious.

"What punch, if you don't mind me asking?"

The brunette girl faced her...and Hiro's brain short-circuited.

Oh no!

She was beautiful!

That's the second attractive person for her in one class!

Was this heaven or hell?!

"Oh the boy is super strong, he demolished one of the big robots with just a punch!", explained Ochaco and had to hide a blush.

The red-haired girl reminded her a bit of Bloom from Winx Club, her first fictional crush.

And now a real-life fairy was before her.

This was so amazing!

But she needed to be cool, so Ochaco blurted happily: "What do you think we’re doing today besides orientation? I wonder what our teachers are like! I can’t wait to meet everybody!"

Hiro couldn't answer the brunette beauty since a hobo in a sleeping bag called them out.

The hobo turned out to be their teacher Aizawa Shota, who told them to change into their gym clothes and meet him at one of the sports fields.

Confused the teenagers did as they were told.

In the locker room, Hiro meets the other girls in her class.

One was invisible and really energetic.

One had short black hair and seemed to be a rocker.

One looked like a cute alien and was super social.

Then there was a beautiful girl, her black hair in a ponytail and her boobs.

Wow!

Hiro's head slammed formally into the gutter.

Just a tiny squeeze...

No bad hormones!

She gave her libido with an imaginary frying pan a hit.

Then there was Cutie Brunette and a girl who was frog-like, but still super cute!

There were only seven girls?

Talk about gender discrimination.

Anyway, the girls made their way over to the sports field and met up with the boys.

One boy in particular caught Hiro's eyes.

But not in a good way.

He was tiny, had lilac balls as hair and formally drooled over all the girls.

That was a perv, Hiro was sure.

She felt it in her gut.

Aizawa-Sensei stepped to them and told them they would do a Quirk assessment test.

The class repeated it confused and Cutie Brunette even added they would miss orientantion.

Their sensei didn't care and told them life was unfair and he could decide how he taught his class.

He called for a Bakugo, who was the angry blond spikes dude who stole Hiro's robot kill and told him to throw a softball with his quirk.

Bakugo got ready, he even screamed die and the ball flew 705.2 meters.

Now nearly everyone got excited to test out their Quirk, but Aizawa-Sensei stifled this joy by telling them who would be last in the class would be expelled from school.

Oh no!

I have to give my all! You can do it, Hiro!

The first test of eight was a 50-meter dash.

Okay, Hiro could handle it!

She batted her wings as fast as she could and made 4,55 seconds of time.

Not bad.

The second test was Grip Strength. Hiro only managed 50 kilos.

Uurgh, she needed more muscles!

Standing long Jump, the third test, was no problem for her since she gave herself a boost with her wings.

In Repeated Side Steps, she can only help a bit with her wings to be faster, but it is also okay.

The fifth test was a ball throw.

Brunette Cutie managed to hit infinity and Hiro wanted to marry her.

This was such a turn-on!

When it was Hiro's turn she used her light beams to make the ball fly faster.

She got a good 703.3 meter.

When it was Midoriya’s turn all turned into a drama.

Apparently, Midoriya’s Quirk demolished always his bones and Aizawa-Sensei wasn't having it. 

With his own Quirk, he erased Midoriya’s Quirk, outing himself as the eraser hero Eraser-Head.

Aizawa-Sensei gave him one last chance and somehow Midoriya managed to only break his finger.

He was still standing and now Hiro wanted to marry him.

He was so cool

But it could be a problem since Bakugo wanted to kill him and called him Deku.

Anway Aizawa-Sensei prevented Midoriya from homicide and they continued on with the tests.

*/*

After they did the rest of the fitness tests it was time for the moment of true.

Who would get expelled?

Hiro hoped for the little perv since Bakugo was way too good with his Quirk to get expelled.

Since Aizawa-Sensei had no interest in explaining to them how the point system worked, so he would show them the classification.

He pressed a button on his smartphone and a hologram appeared.

The classification was like this:

Momo Yaoyorozu

Shoto Todoroki

Katsuki Bakugo

Hiromi Umemoto

Tenya Ida

Fumikage Tokoyami

Mezo Shoji

Mashirao Ojiro

Eijiro Kirishima

Mina Ashido

Ochaco Uraraka

Koji Koda

Tsuyu Asui 

Yuga Aoyama

Hanta Sero

Denki Kaminari

Kyoka Jiro

Toru Hagakure

Minoru Mineta

Izuku Midoriya

Oh, she was fourth, this made Hiro happy, but no, poor Midoriya.

He didn’t deserve to be expelled.

“By the way, I was lying about the expulsion.”, told them Aizawa-Sensei dry.

All the teenagers just stared in disbelief at him.

What the hell?!

Why did he trick them?!

“It was a rational deception to draw out the upper limits of your Quirks.”

“WHAT?!”, shouted Tenya together with Midoriya and Brunette Cutie.

Hiro just made a facepalm in disbelief.

How could she fall for such a trick?!

“Of course, that was a lie.”, agreed Momo with their teacher. “It should have been obvious if you just thought it through.”

Besides Momo no one had thought of it, they all had feared for their future.

Aizawa-Sensei declared the hour for over. 

He advised them to go to their classroom to pick up handouts with the curriculum.

Then he handed Midoriya a note, so he could visit Recory Girl to get healed.

With this class, 1A left the sports field.

*/*

"I'm proud of you Tenya.", told him Hiro as they made their way out of the school. "That you want to be friends with Midori after you were so mean to him."

"It's Midoriya, Hiro."

"Midoriya, right! Look he is there."

They both called for Midoriya.

He stopped curious.

“Is your finger healed?”, asked the taller boy.

“Yeah, thanks to Recovery Girl.”, answered Izuku.

The three started walking together.

“I was really taken in by Mr. Aizawa. I even thought, "This is the best of the best" and such.”, told them Tenya. “I didn't think a teacher would encourage us with a lie.”

"I was disappointed in myself that I didn't catch the lie.", lamented Hiro.

Again they heard someone calling for them.

This time it was Brunette Cutie.

“Hey! Guys! Going to the station? Wait for me!”

So they stopped.

Smiling the girl came to a stop before them.

“You're the infinity girl.”, said Tenya.

“I'm Uraraka Ochako. Um, you're Iida Tenya, she is Umemoto Hiromi and you're Midoriya Deku, right?”

Surprised Midoriya shouted Deku? How did she think it was his name?

Her explanation was how Bakugo had called him Deku.

Shy Midorya explained how Kacchan aka. Bakugo used this name to mock him.

“An insult?”, repeated Tenya and Hiro together, while Midoriya nodded.

“Oh, is that right? Sorry!  But "Deku" sounds like the Japanese word for "You can do it!" so I kinda like it.”, told them Uraraka.

Midoriya turned so red that he formally steamed and declared: "I'm Deku!"

This surprised anyone.

Wasn’t Deku an insult?!

Why the sudden change?!

Midoriya mumbled something about a Copernican Revolution.

Uraraka was confused, while Hiro only remembered the Copernican Revolution from school, which meant the paradigm shift from the Ptolemaic model of the heavens, which described the cosmos as having Earth stationary at the center of the universe, to the heliocentric model with the Sun at the center of the Solar System.

So Midoriya turned Deku into another meaning?

Hiro was confused too.

Whatever, in the end, the four teens walked together to the tram and learned about each other.

In her heart, Hiro felt that she had made two super cute new friends and had still her best friend on her side.

She couldn't be happier.

Prologue

Chapter 01

Chapter 02

Chapter 03

Yin and Yang: Book 1.17

Balance is a key aspect in the world, so why shouldn’t the Avatar have an opposite?

In a world where Raava and Vaatu merge with humans, the Avatar and the Daimon try to keep the peace between the four nations.

Aang and Hua are the current incarnations, but wake up 100 years in the future.

How will these two learn all four elements in one year and defeat the Fire Lord?

Welcome to the first original chapter of the FF, I hope you like my Episode, tell me what you think!

Book 1.17: Zuko’s Decision  

Water. 

Earth. 

Fire. 

Air. 

Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. 

Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. 

Only the Avatar and Daimon, masters of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed them most, they vanished. 

A hundred years passed, and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar and Daimon, an airbender named Aang and an earthbender named Hua. 

And although his airbending and her earthbending skills are great they have a lot to learn before they’re ready to save anyone. 

But I believe Aang and Hua can save the world.

***

The night before with Jeong Jeong and Zuko…

The feeling got worse when he stepped into the hut and saw Jeong Jeong already turned in his direction, fixing him with a knowing look.

Nervous Zuko bowed before him.

He wondered what Jeong Jeong wanted from him.

“Raise boy.”, said the deserter. “And take off this silly mask, I know you are Iroh's nephew.”

What?!

How could he?!

Jeong Jeong let out a huff. “Other than your uncle, I will not entertain your silly games. Your uncle wrote to me, he had a feeling, we would meet, he asked me to talk to you. So this is what I’m going to do.”

Well, wearing the mask still, seemed silly if Jeong Jeong knew it was him.

But how did Uncle Iroh know that he moonlighted as the Blue Spirit?

His uncle was way more aware of things than Zuko taught.

Slowly he took off the mask and kneeled in perfect seiza before the deserter.

The older man looked at him with a fire in his eyes, which made Zuko feel small and unimportant.

“I will not sugarcoat anything, this may be Iroh's way to guide you to the truth but it’s not mine.”, began Jeong Jeong. “This whole plan of yours is foolish! Capture the Avatar and Daimon so that your father gives you back your honour? Think boy! If your father wanted you home he never would have sent you to an impossible mission! It was just luck that they reappeared.”

“N-No, that’s not truth.”, spoke back Zuko. “He knows I could do it and-”

“Don’t interrupt me!”, silenced Jeong Jeong. Zuko bit down his lips. “Foolish boy, think! Would a loving father really challenge his 13-year-old boy in an Agni Kai, because his son had the best interest in mind for the army? You must understand that your quest to capture the Avatar and Daimon is not merely a personal mission, but one that carries grave consequences for the entire world. The Fire Nation's relentless campaign of conquest has brought nothing but suffering to the other nations - the Earth Kingdom, the Water Tribes, and even our own people. We have become a force of destruction, our flames consuming all in their path. The Avatar and Daimon, the bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds, are the last hopes for restoring balance and healing the wounds we have inflicted. To capture them would be to extinguish that glimmer of hope, condemning the world to an eternity of war and oppression under the Fire Nation's rule.”

 Jeong Jeong paused, his piercing gaze meeting Zuko's, imploring the young prince to truly hear his words. 

"The path you walk, boy, is one of darkness and despair. It is not too late to turn back, to see the truth that your own nation has hidden from you. The Fire Nation is not the beacon of power and prosperity it claims to be, but a force of ruin and devastation. Only by embracing the true meaning of firebending - the warmth, the life, the connection to the natural world - can you find the strength to break free from this cycle of violence and lead your people towards a brighter future."

Zuko just…he was lost for words.

“Remember, boy, remember your journey and what you have seen. How the children you travel with see the Fire Nation. How the whole world sees the Fire Nation!”

Oh spirits, it was like Zuko was pulled in two directions.

On one side, he heard Jeong Jeong's words, remembering how Aang and the other seemed to not see the Fire Nation as the heroes who would advance the primitive nations as his country sold to them, but as monsters who destroyed their lives.

And Aang…Aang was because of his Great-Grandfather the sole survivor of…a Genozide. 

He couldn’t sugarcoat it.

Whatever the Air Nomads wanted to attack them, killing an entire nation…it was too much.

To harsh.

To brutal.

To unforgivable.

Then there was the other side, who still longed for his home, for his father's approval for his birthright…

It was like thunderstruck him.

He…he only thought about what capturing Aang and Hua would mean for him.

Not what it would mean for these two bright kids, for the world, for the people of the other nations, for Katara and Sokka.

“Master…”, he began slowly, fear in his heart. “If…If I brought Aang and Hua to the Fire Nation what will happen to them?”

“Finally you are asking the right questions. They wouldn’t be killed.”

Oh, thank the spirits.

“But so barely kept alive that death would be a mercy!”

No…no!

“My father wouldn’t do this to…to children!”

“He burned your face and banished you, his own flesh and blood. What makes you think he would treat his enemies kinder, even if they are children.”

It was like a slap in the face.

Zuko felt tears spring in his eyes, yet he wouldn’t cry.

He hadn’t cried since he had been banish.

“Can you live your life with this burden?”, asked Jeong Jeong cold. “Could you sit on your throne, knowing two children are under brutal and inhuman torture, any hour of the day? I would fear especially for the Daimon, she is already a pretty girl.”

So fast that Zuko's head snapped up, you could worry he broke his neck.

“No, you can’t mean…”

“Rape is a preferred tool to break the spirits of women and if the female in question is the number one enemy of the state…”

Jeong Jeong stopped, yet he didn’t need to speak. Zuko could imagine it.

He felt so sick he threw up.

Could he doom Aang and Hua to such destinies, for his honour?

What honour was even in this all?

There was none…

“Think about my words boy, now leave.”

Fast he put his mask back on and when Hua talked to him, he gave her just a pat.

Zuko needed to talk to his uncle.

Urgently!

***

His ship followed them unseen since he returned to it the first time.

So he could board it fast and walk up to his uncle.

He didn’t give his Uncle the time to greet him and just shouted: “I talked with Jeong Jeong. He talked to me in your name! Uncle it’s time you tell me the truth!”

General Iroh had a pensive look on his weathered face. He knew this conversation would not be an easy one, but it was a necessary step in Zuko's journey of redemption. 

"Zuko, my dear nephew, I feel it is time we had an honest discussion about the Fire Nation and the path we have been walking." Iroh's voice was gentle, but firm. "For too long, we have been blinded by the propaganda and lies fed to us by those in power. The truth is, the Fire Nation's conquest and subjugation of the other nations is a grave injustice, fueled by greed, fear and the thirst for domination."

Zuko shifted uncomfortably, his brow furrowed. "But Uncle, the Fire Nation is powerful, prosperous. We are bringing order and civilization to the world." 

Iroh placed a weathered hand on Zuko's shoulder. 

"That is what they would have you believe, my boy. But the reality is far more complex and sinister. The other nations suffer under our rule, their cultures erased, and their people oppressed. This is not the noble destiny the Fire Lord speaks of." Iroh's eyes grew distant, tinged with regret. "I have seen firsthand the devastation our armies have wrought. Too many innocent lives lost, too many families torn apart."

Zuko opened his mouth to protest, but Iroh raised a hand. "I know this is difficult to hear. I struggled with these truths myself for many years. But we must face them, Zuko, if we are to find the moral courage to make amends." Iroh's gaze burned with conviction. "The Avatar and Daimon offer us a chance at redemption, a path to restore balance to this war-torn world. We must help them, Zuko. It is our duty, as members of the Fire Nation, to right these wrongs."

“That’s why you agreed on that I travel with them!”, gasped Zuko. “You wanted me to make friends with them…to see things your way!”

“Yes, it was my hope.”

“Uncle I…”

“I see you are very much confused, but I think it’s time I tell you a family secret. The reason why your soul is torn apart in two directions.”

Tired Zuko just sat down beside his uncle.

What would come next on this day full of revelations?

“You know how the grandfather of your father was Firelord Sozin.”

“Of course Uncle.”

Iroh took a deep breath and placed a hand on Zuko's shoulder.

“What was kept secret from you are the grandparents of your dear mother. It’s Avatar Roku and Daimon Lixue.”

No…it couldn’t be!

Shocked Zuko sprang up and stared at his uncle.

Avatar Roku and Daimon Lixue?!

It means…

“I have Water Tribe blood in me. Azula has it too! I just…why?”, asked Zuko.

So Iroh began to tell him how his parents met.

His mother Ursa had been the Lady of Hira’a and thanks to her Water Tribe grandmother a master herbalist.

Her fame was so grand, that she was invited to the Fire Nation Palace to show her abilities to Firelord Azulong, whose wife Ilah had been at the time sick with an unknown fever.

No one knew how she had done it, but Ursa managed to heal Ilah.

Azulong wanted to give her treasures, however Ursa asked for one thing.

For the hand of Prince Ozai.

In the time she had been in the palace, she had met the young prince. 

Ozai wasn’t always a power-hungry egomaniac. Years ago he was just the second-born prince who searched for his place in the world.

The two spend time with each other and fall in love.

It was a bit of a scandal.

Yes, Ursa was a noblewoman, still in her blood flow Water Tribe, even from the former Daimon!

Could Azulong allow such a pair?

In the end, he did, but only because the Fire Sages told him about a prophecy which said a royal descendant of Roku and Lixue would bring great power to Azulon's lineage.

They married and had Zuko.

All seemed good.

Just Iroh admitted no one knew why Ozai suddenly became the man he was now.

And this was the end of the story.

Pensive Zuko stared at the ground.

This was…a lot.

He needed time.

He needed to think this over.

All these revelations today.

His uncle understood him.

“Why don’t you lay down for a while? Some sleep will do you good.”

With a simple nod, Zuko made his way to his cabin.

Iroh signed and prayed to the spirits that Zuko would make the right choice.

***

The sleep had helped a bit.

Zuko was now determined to make a decision.

Yet for this, he needed to talk to Aang or Hua.

So he said for the time goodbye to his uncle and made his way back to Jeong Jeong camp.

He was lucky and found Hua before the camp on a hill meditation.

Zuko comes near her, yet no sound comes out of him.

He isn’t sure how to begin.

That’s when Hua opens an eye and smiles at him.

“Hey, Blue, were where you? We have been worried.”, she tells him.

He only stares at her.

A bit nervous Hua opens fully her eyes.

“I’m currently meditating, feeling the sun, you know for firebending.”

Still nothing from him.

He could see how Hua was getting nervous.

Finally, he moved, coming towards her.

“Please don’t run away.”, he begged her as he took off his mask. “I want to talk to you.”

When Hua saw who he was, she switched to a defensive position.

“Zuko!”, she snarled. “It was you the whole time! Sokka WAS right, you are the enemy!”

Tears fell from her green eyes, however, before he could explain himself she attacked him with fire blasts.

He had trouble to counter them.

The time with Jeong Jeong already born fruits.

“Hua please listen!”

“I’m not listening to you, you…you….sneaky bastard! Did you have fun playing our friend, waiting to snatch up Aang and me?!”

“It was the plan, but now-”

“Aha, you confess! I won’t let you take me away none let you near Aang!”

They got a bit back on forth, before Zuko managed to grab her hands, making her stop firebending.

He saw in Hua's eyes she was ready to unleash another element at him, so he fell down on the ground before her and bowed.

Hua gasped surprised.

“Please Daimon Hua, listen to me. I just wanna talk, I don’t want to capture you. I will stay in this position, till you tell me to rise.”

It was still between them for a few seconds before Hua declared: “I don’t trust you, so stay this way and tell me what you want to tell.”

And so Zuko told her all about his talk with Jeong Jeong and then with his uncle.

Then he even told her why he was so after her and Aang.

It was then that Hua told him to face her.

Big fat tears fall from her eyes.

“I’m so sorry Zuko.”, she sniffed. “Your father is an utter bastard.”

Finally, they sat down beside each other.

“I understand you better, but what do you want from me?”, asked the Daimon curious.

“Please tell me the truth about how it was 100 years ago.”

She did it without a problem.

Hua told him about her life, her life with the Air Nomads, all the friends she had in the world, even in the Fire Nation and how his Nation was once a place full of love and laughter.

She talked about Kuzon, a firebender and one of Aang and her best friends in the whole world.

A boy so loyal and kind, his fire warming them when it was cold, who did little tricks to amuse them.

The world and his Nation from 100 years ago sounded…right.

How it should be.

“Did you get the answer that you sought?”

Slowly Zuko nods.

He had made his decision.

That’s when they heard Appa and he put his mask on.

Now he needed to tell the others all this too.

***

Katara stared at Prince Zuko, how he was bowing before them, telling his little cry tale and believing they would just take it in.

Ha!

This was surely just a scam so he could grab Hua and Aang.

Sadly it seemed only she thought this, Aang and Hua were crying and even Sokka seemed touched.

Her brother who had been all the time mistrusting of Zuko, believed his tale!

What was going on?!

“I’m sorry I tricked you.”, said Zuko right now. “But I think it was destiny that I travel with you. I learned a lot of things.”

“Oh, and what that would be?”, snapped Katara.

She ignored how the other looked at her in a please stay calm way.

“For so long, all I wanted was for my father to love me, to accept me. I thought it was my honour I wanted, but really, I was just trying to please him. My father, who, banished me just for talking out of turn. My father, who challenged me, a thirteen-year-old boy, to an Agni Kai. How could he possibly justify a duel with a child?”

“He can’t, no one can’t.”, mumbled Sokka. “Your father is a sick bastard.”

Zuko nodded and continued: “Growing up, we in the Fire Nation were taught that our country was the greatest civilization in history. And somehow, the War was our way of sharing our greatness with the rest of the world. What an amazing lie that was. The people of the world are terrified by the Fire Nation. They don't see our greatness. They hate us! And we deserve it! We've created an era of fear in the world. And if we don't want the world to destroy itself we need to replace it with an era of peace and kindness.”

“Wise words.”, smiled Aang.

“And pretty ones.”, added Hua.

Both kids were still crying.

Katara was disbelieving.

“Oh come on, you can’t believe what he says!”, she jumps up and points at the still kneeling Zuko. “He hunted us down from the South Pole and then played our friend. He used our trust and he will do it again.”

“Please Katara, you don’t know what you say…”

“I don't? How dare you! You have no idea what this war has put me through!”, cries Katara touching her necklace. “Me personally! The Fire Nation took my mother away from me.”

“I'm sorry.”, says Zuko, looking at her like he knows this pain. “That's something we have in common.”

Huh…!

Surprised Katara stares back at him. No, the hurt in his eyes was real.

However, Zuko told them of the night his mother vanished.

Now all were crying.

“The worst part is I don’t know if she is dead or alive. Sometimes I think it’s better for her to be dead than wandering the world all alone without a home. Sometimes I hope she found a place to live in peace.”

“Not knowing is terrible, mmh.”, sniffed Katara and gave him a friendly pat.

The boy just nodded.

“Okay we all know now Zuko's tragic backstory and his chance of mind.”, began Sokka, sniffing away his last tears. “But Zuko what are you planning now?”

Since her hand was still on his shoulder Katara felt how Zuko took a deep breath.

“I would like to help you. My Uncle is the better firebender, but I think no one should know that I changed sides, so Uncle Iroh will be sailing with my ship, playing the role of hunting Aang and Hua down, while I teach Hua firebending.”, explained Zuko.

A happy shout came from Hua and, incredibly, she hugged Zuko.

Stupified he patted her head.

Katara had to admit it was cute.

“Oh, that’s so great! I have a firebending teacher!”

“Okay, you will help Hua to learn to play with fire, but what then when we face off against your father?”, wonders Sokka.

“I don’t think I will ever get the throne, I’m still and will be a banished prince, but I will help you defeat him. Also maybe we can manage to get my uncle on the throne. With him, the Fire Nation can become good again.”

Aang gave him a big smile.

“That sounds good. Also, I’m sure your Uncle will lift your banishment.”

A little crooked smile formed on Zuko's face, which strangely made Katara's heart race.

Besides his stupid ponytail, he was actually quite handsome…

With that, all was now clear and they could be friends without secrets.

So Zuko had only one thing left to do.

When all were sleeping, he wandered over the river they camped and cut off his ponytail.

He let it fall into the river, watching it flow down.

It had been the mark of the banished prince, but now he was the ally and firebending teacher of the Avatar and Daimon.

He swore by his mother he would do good and be better any day.

So yes I changed the backstory of Ozai and Ursa.

It was my headcanon before the comics ruined it. 

I hate the comics and always thought Ozai became slowly an utter bastard, he had to be a nice man before to snatch someone like Ursa up.

So I mixed it a bit with the comics.

I hope you are all okay with this ^^

Until next chapter :D

Kill La Hero: 13

In the lottery of Quirk’s Michi got on really special and annoying one. A living, sarcastic ribbon named Ares, who puts her into superpowered revealing outfits. But this won't stop the girl from fulfilling her dream of being a hero! Just watch her!

(But not too closely please!)

MHA MEETS KILL LA KILL!

Chapter 13: The Cavalry Battle

The point system was simply from the last place 5 till to the first which was Ten million!

All eyes zeroed in on Izuku because if you managed to get his points it didn't matter if you were in last place in the first game, you could win!

Izuku got scared, even Michi stared at him in hunger and not the kind he wished for.

All wanted his points!

How should he survive the next round?!

As Izuku had his crisis, Midnight explained the rules for the cavalry battle.

In the cavalry battle, each team wears headbands with the total points of its members.

The goal is to grab other teams' headbands within fifteen minutes.

Stolen headbands must be worn from the neck up.

Even if a headband is stolen or a team falls, they are not out.

During the game, using Quirks is allowed, but intentionally trying to make others fall is not allowed and will result in immediate removal with a red card.

Midnight ended her explanation with: "Now, you have fifteen minutes to build your teams. Start!"

And so they did.

"Izu-Chan.", called Michi for him, who was probably thinking about who he wanted in his team. "Let's be a team, alright."

So fast as he turned to her you wouldn't thought he got whiplash.

"M-Michi.Kun, y-you really want to be in a team with me?", he stutters in disbelief.

He had hoped she would but with her own good points as second place from the obstacle race and being with Ares a perfect Shield-And-Sword Combo she was desired by many to be on their team.

And yet here again she was on his side.

"Izu-Chan, we are a team, did you forget.", she reminded him and stroked his cheek.

"Yes, boy, we three against to world, remember?", added Ares.

Tears shot from Izuku's eyes and Michi hugged him tight.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"Ah, come on baby boy.", Michi purred in his ear and gave him a little cheek kiss. "Nothing in this world can lead me away from you."

Izuku sniffled and with red cheeks, he declared: "M-Me neither. I want to be forever on your side."

This made Michi's heart beat faster.

This...this sounded like a declaration of love...!

Before these two could really talk about what Izuku blurted out, Ochaco came towards them.

"Michi-Chan, Ares, Deku!", called their friend. " Let's be a team!"

"Are you sure Ochaco-Chan?", asked Michi, while Izuku hung from her arm crying tears of joy that another friend wanted to be in his team. "Mine and Izuku's points make us a primary target."

"If we run away the whole time, then you'll win, right?", guessed the brunette.

"I think you're overestimating me, Uraraka. If you and Michi made a team it would be better for you two.", told Izuku.

"Forget it, I'm not leaving you to the sharks.", made Michi clear.

Ochaco nodded along.

"It's better to team up with people you get along with!"

This made Izuku smile, he thanked the girls for being in his team.

Michi patted his head.

"We got this baby boy."

"Actually, I wanted to team up with you guys, too. For teams, it's best to be with people you can communicate with smoothly, right?"

The girls agreed.

"Your Quirk, Uraraka’s Quirk and one other person I thought of a plan!"

Izuku turnend to Tenya.

Oh, the girls got it.

They followed after him as he called for the other boy.

Then Izuku explained his plan: "The three of us would be horses with Tenya in the front! And then, if we use Uraraka's Quirk to make Tenya and me lighter, we'd be able to manoeuvre easily.  It's better to have someone physically strong as the rider, so Michi will be it. With Ares, she is the strongest of us and also a perfect shield to deflect attack."

"That's an awesome plan, Izu-Chan!", praised him Michi and Ochaco nodded along.

Only Tenya stayed still.

"I expected no less, Izuku, but I am afraid I have to refuse."

This shocked the other three, even Ares's big eyes got bigger.

"Ever since the entrance exam, I just keep losing to you. You are a wonderful friend, but that's why, if I just keep following you, I will never grow. Bakugo and Todoroki aren't the only ones who see you as a rival. I will challenge you."

With that, he walked away to Shoto team.

"Ah, it has begun.", said Michi with crossed arms. "It's now everyone against everyone. Friends turn to rivals."

"Oh dear, what should we do now?", wondered Ochaco.

That's when a girl's voice called behind them: "As I thought, this is great. You stand out! Team up with me, person in the first place!"

"Ahh, so close!", yelled Izuku since this new girl was nearly in his face. "Who're you?!" 

"I am Hatsume Mei, from the support course!", she introduced herself.

"Oh, that weird person from back then.", remember Ochaco her first encounter with Mei.

"Weird?", repeated Michi confused.

"I will explain later."

"I don't know you, but let me use your position!", Mei told Izuku truthfully. "If I team up with you, then I'll inevitably become part of the team everyone's watching most, right? If that happens, then my super cute babies will inevitably be seen by the big companies. That means, in other words, that those big companies will see my babies!"

Even more confused Ochaco asked: "W-Wait a minute. Babies and big companies? What are you-- --"

But Mei interrupted her saying how they would benefit from a collaboration. She opened a chest with items.

"The support course develops equipment that helps heroes deal with their Quirks. I have a ton of babies, so I'm sure you'll be able to find one that you like! Oh, has this one caught your eye? I made this based on a certain hero's backpack, adding my own original twist to it."

"Could you be talking about the Buster Hero, Air Jet?", wonders Izuku. "I like him, too!"

"Really?"

"Yeah, his agency's close, so I went to tour it before."

Michi and Ochaco just watched on how Izuku and Mei fanboyed over the buster hero.

"Michi-Chan.", whispered Ochaco and pointed at Izuku and Mei. "Aren't you doing something against this?"

The salmon-haired girl crossed her arms and tilted her head.

"What do you mean, Ochaco-Chan."

"I mean, these two seem to get along a bit too much. You and Izuku belong together! Aren't you jealous?"

"Erm, no, because my relationship with Izuku is strong. I know he wouldn't betray me this way."

"So you are TOGETHER?!"

"No, we are best friends, but our love is strong. I know I love Izuku with my whole heart and want to be more, but he didn't show me he wants more."

Ochaco deadpannend at her.

"You need new glasses! Deku is so gone for you, you see it from outer space."

This made Michi blush.

"You think so?"

"I know so! We all see how you look at each other."

Her heart beat faster, as Michi looked at Izuku, who talked animatedly with Mei.

Before it really seemed like he made a declaration of love and now Ochaco said ANYONE practically saw how they were gone for each other...Should she make the first step finally?

No more flirts, but be direct.

Sadly, the Sports Festival was not the place for it now.

Later...I will do it later...

That's when she saw something maroon twinkling from Mei's box full of items.

Curious she walked over and picked it up.

It was half of a scissor.

"Oh you found my Scissor Blade Prototpy baby, isn't it pretty?", cooed Mei.

"This is a blade? It's a normal half of a scissor.", said Michi turning it around in her hands.

"Push the button and see! You will be surprised."

Michi did as told and oh wow!

She had now a giant half of a scissor in her hands.

"How cool!", gasped Ochaco. "It fits with Ares perfectly."

"It's still a prototype, but my baby can do amazing things. It can cut to nearly anything and has a Decapitation Mode!"

"Decapitation Mode?!", shouted Michi, Izuku and Ochaco scarrd.

"I don't think I can use it. Killing someone will give us surely a red card.", added Michi sarcastically.

"No, no, no!", shook Mei her head. "I call it so but actually the blade just gets longer and well, cuts the clothes of the person you attack away."

Now the other three and Ares stared at her.

"Why?", they asked in chor.

Mei shrugged her shoulders.

"Why not? Think about it, even villains would feel embarrassed when they are butt naked so you can catch them better."

"Huh, that makes actually sense.", agreed Michi.

"You can't be serious!", shouted Ochaco.

Michi didn't listen and turned to Mei. "Can I use your Scissor Blade for this round? I think it's a good weapon and also a good shield."

"Of course, of course!"

After this was out of the world, the team, with the help of Mei, picked some more items that could help them in the cavalry battle.

Then it was time.

Present Mic gave the start signal for the cavalry battle.

Their formation was Izuku as the rider, Michi on the front, Ochaco left and Mei and the right.

"Guys, I'm counting on you!", told them Izuku.

All answered with a loud yes.

As expected everyone ran towards them to steal their points.

Izuku decided to run away, but one of the teams had someone who could make you sink into the earth, however, this was no problem.

Izuku used the Jetpack and they flow away.

Then Kyoka tried to attack them with her quirk, but Ares saw this, warned Michi and she struck them away with the Scissor Blade.

"I know with Ares 360 Grade visual no one could come near us!", celebrated Izuku. "Michi and Ares you guys are amazing!"

"Of course we are!", giggled Michi. "And Mei your blade is amazing!"

"Thank you!"

"We're landing.", warnend Ochaco.

Another strategy they used was to make everyone other than Uraraka weightless, so their weight is just Uraraka plus the equipment and clothes.

They started running.

"What do you think of my babies? Aren't they cute?", asked Mei, Izuku. "Cuteness can be made, you know."

"Excellent mobility! The babies are amazing, Hatsume!"

"We are getting company!", warned Ares.

It was Shoji, who seemed alone and the guys from class 1B who attacked them at the beginning.

"For now, let's get away again!", advised Michi.

They tried, but Ochaco was stuck.

Under her boot was one of Mineta's sticky balls!

It turned out Shoji protected Mineta with his arms, so he could shoot from there with his balls.

Well, that was sneaky!

Then a long tongue came out, Izuku could duck at the last moment and took the headband from the guys from class 1B.

Tsu was with Mineta and Shoji?!

Now they got attacked by a lot of sticky balls and a long tongue.

Izuku used the jetpack again to fly high and away from danger.

Out of nowhere, Bakugo came flying towards them, thankful Michi reacted fast and used the Scissor Blade as a shield from Bakugo's explosion.

They landed back on the ground and ran.

"Guys, I will try if I can push us all in the air again.", warned Michi. "Get ready!"

"Do your best Michi-Kun."

"Ares, you ready?"

"Let's go, whirlwind!"

Michi focused all her power on her legs and jumped high. Since all were holding onto each other, they flew too.

"We can only stay for a short time airborne before I have to jump again.", explained Michi.

"It's better than nothing.", reassured Izuku. "Just keep going Michi-Kun!"

Seven minutes were over and surprisingly their team from class 1A was the only one who did good.

It was because of the blond guy from 1B Monoma Neito who stole left and right handbands. He had also a nasty Quirk, after touching someone he could copy the Quirk of his enemy.

As they landed back again on earth and before Michi could catapult them back airborne Team Shoto was before them.

Uh-Oh!

It even got better as more teams joined to attack them.

Then Kaminari attacked with his electro quirk, thankful Michi jumped into the air at the right moment and they were safe.

"Awesome, Michi-Chan!", praised her Ochaco.

They heard and saw how Shoto froze all the shocked teams.

And then Izuku Jetpack died.

Also, Shoto’s team came towards them.

"Okay, Ares, Thread Storm!", shouted Michi.

I wanted to use this new attack for later but we don't have a choice...

Threads shot out from Michi Ares's Supersuit and like a net felt on Shoto’s Team.

To say they were surprised was an understatement.

Team Izuku used the time to run away as fast as they could.

However, thanks to all the ice Shoto had made they were now in a corner and Team Shoto came again after them.

The two teams formally danced around each other, trying to grab the headbands, but was it Michi with the Scissor Blade or a Creation of Momo, they couldn't reach the other.

Now one minute was left.

That's when Tenya used his Special Move Torque Over-- Reciproburst.

They got so fast and stormed them.

Only Ares saw anything in slow motion.

"Michi you arm. Left!", he shouted.

Thankful Michi heard automatically of him.

She felt one headband in her hand, fast she put it between her breasts.

Better make Team Shoto believe they had won since they managed to get Izuku's headband.

Even with Michi gripping secretly a headband, she agreed to go after Shoto again, to take Izuku's headband back.

There she noted how Shoto nearly used his fireside because Izuku was attacking him there with One for All.

Izuku managed to grip another headband.

Hopefully, there were enough points for them in the headband she gripped before and the one Izuku took now.

Sadly Momo had switched places of the headbans, and Izuku’s was only worth 70 points.

Time was now up!

Michi heard how Izuku started to cry. 

He thought they lost.

"Guys, don't be disappointed.", she said and took out the headband from her boob window. "I gripped a hand band before Momo switched them!"

"What?!", screamed her team.

She showed them all the points.

615 points!

This means they were in place four!

The salmon-haired girl couldn't look as fast as Izuku and Ochaco embraced her, he crying, she shouting happily and Mei patting hard her shoulder.

"Michi-Kun you are amazing!"

"Michi-Chan, Michi-Chan, you can do what no one can!"

"Give your thanks Ares he saw it and told me to grab it."

"Yeah for Ares!"

"Ah, now you are making me blush kids."

Present Mic told them all they would now make an hour's break.

Well, this was good.

They needed a break from the action.

While Izuku and Ochaco celebrate their entering the final stage, Michi gives Mei the Scissor Blade back.

"That's an awesome baby, you have Mei. I had fun to use it."

But Mei grinned and gave it back to her.

"No, take it. I think it will be useful for you."

"What really?"

"Yeah, no problem Massaro-San!"

Smiling Michi turned the Scissor Blade small and put them between her breasts.

She had a feeling she would use them quite often in the future.

Kill La Hero: 04

In the lottery of Quirk’s Michi got on really special and annoying one. A living, sarcastic ribbon named Ares, who puts her into superpowered revealing outfits. But this won't stop the girl from fulfilling her dream of being a hero! Just watch her!

(But not too closely please!)

MHA MEETS KILL LA KILL!

Chapter 4: The Origin Story

They reached Tatooin-Station where a giant man was standing.

Automatically they stop.

"Ahh…!", gasped Izuku. "That’s a huge villain!"

"And ugly.", added Michi and Ares.

Izuku wanted to take a closer look at the heroes and the villain and made his way into the crowd, Michi hanging off his hand sleepy.

She liked heroes well enough, but when she was this tired only her beloved Seraphina or Mirko would get her attention.

So she silently observed while Izuku asked who was fighting, only to respond himself.

“It’s Kamui Woods! The young and talented rising star!”

“You were the one asking, but you gave a perfect commentary, kid.”, says a man with shuriken in his head to him. “You’re a fanboy, aren’t you?”

Izuku giggles sheepishly, while Ares laughs and then deadpan at the sleeping Michi.

How his host could fall asleep, standing up and with all the sounds surprised him always.

Michi only woke up after this new female superhero took care of the villain and many men with cameras taking pictures of her, shouting: “Here it is, here it is, here it is, here it is.”

“W-What?”, Michi asked confused.

“You REALLY need to be aware of your surroundings!”, chest her Ares.

The salmon-haired girl pulls him a bit, as they watch how this new superhero named Mt. Lady introduces herself and her ass-sets.

Michi nods in understanding.

No wonder the men and a few women were drolling.

Of course, it's all sexist, unfortunately, she was bi as fuck and can't resist pretty ladies either.

Mt. Lady takes the glory for the defeated villain and takes him away under the watchful eyes of the police and cheering crowds and camera crews. 

Ares and Michi even see Kamui Woods sulking on one of the rooftops.

But Michi found Mt. Lady more interesting.

She will definitely become popular, but...

“She’s nothing against Seraphina or Mirko,” stated Michi, crossing her arms.

“You and your angel hero and bunny hero.”, signs Ares. “This new one seems promising.”

“You only say that, because you stared at her ass, didn't you?”

The ribbon just coughs embarrassed.

Meanwhile, Izuku has unpacked one of his hero notebooks theorising in it and writing it down.

Most find this annoying, however, Michi finds it cute when he's like that and doesn't bother him. 

If he wants her opinion, he'll ask her.

“Hey, wait, you’re taking notes? You wanna be a hero?”, the bald man with the shurikens says to him. “That’s great! You can do it!”

“Yes! I’ll do my best!”, promises Izuku with a beaming smile.

For a moment the glass-wearing girl can't help but twist her mouth and look up at Ares.

Their eyes meet.

They don’t need words to communicate.

If there's anyone who was made to be a hero, it's Izuku, but unfortunately, there is a huge obstacle in his way.

The only thing Ares and Michi can do is to support him and protect him as best as they can.

They had decided this long ago.

***

After all the chaos with Mt. Lady and Co., they make it to Aldera Junior High just in time.

“When it's a Lunch Break, you come to my classroom and we'll eat there today,” reminds him Michi, as they finish putting on their indoor shoes. “And if Bakugo harasses you-“

“-I’m calling you and Ares for help, I know Michi-Kun,” he replies, almost ashamed.

She knows that he doesn't want her to fight his fights for him, yet sadly at the moment he isn't able to fight for himself and Bakugo with his quirk is dangerous and also stupid concerning Izuku.

The asshole should just try to hurt Izuku in front of Michi, she will slam him straight into the ground!

It wouldn’t be the first time!

Michi pats Izuku on the shoulder, which makes him blush. 

Since he is a head and a half shorter than her, he has to look up and she down so that they can look into each other's eyes.

“For me, you are already a hero, MY hero, don’t forget that. No matter what others say,” she reminds him.

The girl gives him her best smile.

It has the same effect as always.

Small tears run down his beautiful green eyes and he gives her a heart-warming smile.

Before he can say thank you, Michi can't help herself but cuddle him.

“M-Michi-K-Kun!”, he shouts in shock and she can feel him heating up.

“Izu-Chan, you are sooooo cute!”, Michi coos.

“M-Michi-K-Kun our c-c-classmates are s-s-staring at us!”

“Let them!”

“B-But…!”

“Shh! Let me cuddle you, you cutie pie!”

Izuku would probably have fainted here if the school bell hadn't saved him.

So Michi let him go and ruffled his curls.

“See you later Izu-Chan.”

“Don’t forget to breathe, boy!”, advises him Ares as Michi walks briskly towards her classroom while Izuku imitates a statue.

After three gruelling school hours, a nice Lunch Break with Izuku and a math test that the girl was sure she failed, the school day is over.

Michi set off to pick up Izuku from his classroom. 

When she was around, Bakugo wasn't so terrible to him because the blonde knew that she could finish him off.

Thanks to Ares and because she also does martial arts.

What Michi sees when she enters Izuku's classroom makes her blood pressure rise to 180.

The asshole, Baguko,  was holding her poor Izu-Chan by the shoulder and the smoke rising from the spot shows that he has activated his Quirk.

To put the blond assholes in his place, Michi doesn’t need Ares, however, he unfurls, ready for anything.

Bakugo almost doubles over in pain as Michi grabs his wrist and pulls him away from Izuku.

“Didn’t I tell you to leave Izuku alone, Bakugo?!”, Michi hisses at him.

“He is under our protection!”, adds the ribbon.

Like an annoying fly, Michi flinks the blond to his followers. 

The two cardboard figures look at the girl in fear as she stands protectively before Izuku, Ares's “arms” flap around like whip lashes, while Bakugo rubs his wrist.

“Massaro!”, he growls with his teeth clenched.

“H-Hey come on m-man l-let’s go. The foreigner and her ribbon are not someone you mess with, you know that,”, cardboard figure one whine, as cardboard figure two nods in agreement.

Michi wants to take a step towards the three, however Izuku grabs her by the sleeve of her school uniform.

“Michi-Kun, don’t,” he begs.

They know it's forbidden to use your Quirks and/or start fights and Michi has already done one of them, so she stands next to him and gives Bakugo a poisonous look.

“Tzz,” Bakugo clicks his tongue and stops rubbing his wrist. Next time she will break it! “Massaro won't always be there to save you, Deku. In this shitty school, she's probably the only one who's my equal and you're dragging her down because you need to be saved. If she was smart she would dump you.”

Michi could feel how Izuku behind her became unsure.

“And if you were smart, you would shut up and mind your own business,” Michi fired back.

Bakugo just shrugs his shoulders.

He and his entourage turn to leave, which visibly pleases the two cardboard figures. 

Scaredy-cats!

“I'm just telling him the truth Massaro. You’re not helping him if you support him in his impossible goals,”. he throws over his shoulders. “Without Quirk, Deku can never become a hero, let alone get into U.A."

“Just fuck off, stronzo!”

Finally, he and his lackeys do so.

Michi takes a deep breath, Ares shrinks back, as they turn to Izuku. 

They are the only ones left in the classroom.

The green-haired boy looks at the ground defeated.

“Izuku…your shoulder?”

Michi would rather tell him to not give a rat's ass what Bakugo says, however, she notices that he doesn't want to talk right now.

No, he takes a deep breath without looking up.

She almost thinks he won't say anything until he whimpers softly: “...hurts. Probably burned.”

“Okay,” Michi simply said and led him to the Nurse's Office.

The nice Nurse, Ai-San, knows them well and without questions cures Izuku’s wound.

After they thanked her and left, Izuku was ready to tell Michi what happened between him and his bully.

As it turns out, Bakugo has once again surpassed his level of being an asshole. 

They are forced to fish out one of Izuku's notebooks, now half burned, from the tank where their school keeps fish.

The blonde just threw it out the window!

Fucking asshole!

Sidenote, Michi has the theory that the principal and teachers keep these fishes here to later make sushi, even if Izuku says that can't be true.

Irritatingly, Izuku is more upset about his burned and wet notebook than about the physical wounds from Bakugo.

Sometimes Michi wonders about his priorities, and then she remembers that Izuku practically lives from his superhero worshipping/studying and she understands it.

The salmon-haired girl understands it, but she can't really approve of it. 

Like this masochist clinging to Bakugo or as he calls him Kacchan.

The blonde has gone from a childhood friend to a first-class bully!

Why can't Izuku let him go?

...Should Michi take him to a therapist? 

This seems too high even for her as his best and only friend. Ares is not counted.

“That’s not fish food, stupid.”, Izuku grumbles to the koi fish and tries to shoo them away from the notebook. “That’s my notebook…”

“They don’t care,” Michi points out dryly.

An idea comes to her and she digs out some leftover salami bread from her satchel. Her mom finally found a shop here that sells Italian food.

Michi knows there are bento boxes in Japan, but sometimes you just need some home here.

She removes the salami and throws bread crumbs to the fish.

“Eat this, my fishy friends.”

It works as planned.

The fish leaves the notebook alone and accepts her gift.

...But they won't become piranhas now because there was definitely salami flavour on the bread, right?

Right?!

Izuku lets out an exasperated sigh and tries to shake the water away from the saved notebook.

“Thank you, Michi-Kun…”

“Sure, Izu-Chan, no problem.” 

Izuku isn’t even looking her in the eyes.

Okay, she doesn’t like that.

Time to say something.

“Bakugo has no idea, especially not about our friendship. You are so important to me Izuku, don't listen to the rubbish he says. We decided to become heroes together, which is why we applied together for the U.A. You will be a great hero even without Quirk, we just have to find the right way!”

Carefully Michi takes one of his hands and strokes the back of it with his thumb.

At least he lowers the notebook and blinks away his tears.

“…You’re important to me too, Michi,” he then says.

She hugs him carefully and he buries his head in the hollow of her shoulder. 

Michi leans her head against his and rocks them both back and forth.

“I love you Izuku, don’t forget that.”

And one day, I will tell you how I want to be forever on your side.

She can literally feel that his face is burning like fire and how he is clinging to her tighter, but somehow... there is something sad in the air...

Ares signs and wraps his “arms” around the kids.

“You kids will send me to an early grave.”, he mumbles.

***

Today Michi hates it like the plague that she has to go to her martial arts course. 

She just knows that Izuku needs her, but Michi didn’t go last week and her sensei doesn't like when you miss hours. 

If you miss a certain amount of hours, you are out of the course.

And ashe can’t risk this.

The salmon-haired girl needs it to be prepared her heroic career.

For Izuku and her.

Ares can only make Michi strong, he doesn’t give her the knowledge of how to fight.

Izuku also almost forced Michi to go to her course and promised that they would talk on the phone this evening.

He was already feeling better. She didn't have to worry.

Sure and she was All Might.

...Nah, better not. She doesn't want to imagine what kind of over-the-top reaction Izuku would have if he ever met his idol.

She couldn’t promise, she wouldn’t laugh.

Yes, hypocrite with Seraphina and Mirko you would go crazy too.

Anyway, after their hug and a few goodbyes, Izuku heads home and she heads to her course.

As soon as Sensei lets them go home, Michi decides to visit Izuku.

She texted him and Inko, his mom, and wrote to her parents that she wanted to spend a little more time with her best friend.

Michi gets approval from her parents and Inko, however, Izuku doesn't answer her. 

Mmm, he's probably trying to save the notes in his burnt notebook.

...Should she call Stefano later, maybe he or one of her other cousins has a good idea for a prank on the blonde asshole Bakugo?

So she thinks nothing of it as she makes her way to Izuku's apartment.

Not even when she sees him talking to a blonde man who looks like he's suffering from anorexia.

Surely Izuku, the good soul, helped the poor sick man with something.

Michi only starts to notice something is going on that she doesn’t know about when she sees Izuku throw himself on the ground when the blonde man tells him that he can be a hero.

Normally she would immediately run to Izuku...yet something inside her tells her that she needs to hear what's going on.

Also, Ares formally whisper-shouts to stay put because he wants to know what’s going on.

Michi can shorten the following conversation into three words:

What.

The.

Fuck?!

The anorexia guy is All Might?! 

Izuku has put himself in danger and shown his courage and will receive his Quirk from All Might?!

Yes received!

All Might was also quirkless and got his Quirk One for All, which is its name, from another person.

And, and the Quirk gets stronger with each person receiving it!

WHAT?!

They were separated for mostly two and a half hours and Izuku not only met All Might, why does he seem so sick anyway, but All Might chose him to be the next bearer of One for All?!

This is really….wow!

Speechless, Michi was just speechless!

Even Ares was in shock.

He was becoming all stiff.

Michi only finds the words again when she hears Izuku, of course, what else, accept to become the next wielder of the Quirk.

Maybe Michi should tell these two geniuses that it wasn’t smart to have a secret conversation in the MIDDLE OF THE STREET!

“That’s all well and good and I’m happy for Izuku, really,” she calls out.

This causes All Might to freeze on the spot with wide eyes and Izuku spins towards her, still sitting on the ground.

“M-Michi-Kun?!”

“Young Midoriya?”

She ignores them both and puts her hands on her hips.

“You really shouldn’t have such a conversation about such a huge secret in the open air, be glad it’s only me and Ares here. So now it seems like we all are now on the same team. How can we help Izuku?”
