I decided to stay home today, everything that happened yesterday was crazy! Although I got a new Mode out of it! Everyone came back after a while and started packing their things.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"We're going on another trip! Make sure you get packed!" Kaminari told me while he was packing stuff in the kitchen.
"Oh? Where are we going?" I replied.
"We're going to Las Vegas!" I heard Kirishima shout.
[A Couple Hours Later...]
We all boarded a plane to head to America! This time, however, Mr. Aizawa and some other Pro Heroes were coming along with us as well. I sat with Momo and I looked out of the plane window.
"So, do you think you could show me around Vegas?" She asked.
I laughed and nodded, "Sure, if I remember anything that is!"
It would be a little while before we got to Las Vegas, so I got comfortable and closed my eyes. I finally fell asleep after a while. I woke up looking at the sky, was this another dream? I sat up and looked around, where was I? Why was I having all of these dreams all of the sudden? I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. I looked up and saw my dad!
"F-Father?" I wondered.
He smiled and sat down next to me, "You're going to face another huge wall, Alyx."
"What do you mean? Is it because I'm heading back home?" I wondered.
"That and you'll be facing one of your greatest challenges yet. Even greater than Ernesh and Shigaraki." He foreshadowed.
"I'm assuming you, Tanjiro, or Nezuko won't be able to help me out, right?" I asked.
My Father nodded at me.
I looked down, but my Father spoke up, "BUT... There will be someone there with you. I'm not talking just your friends or your sister either."
I looked at him with curiosity, "Then who?"
"You'll see." He smiled at me.
My Father got up, I looked to my right and noticed he was gone. I stood up and looked forward. I noticed that there was someone else in the distance, I started to walk towards them until I was blinded by a flash of light. I woke up, everyone else was asleep. I looked over and noticed that Momo was asleep on my shoulder. I readjusted my position and out my arm around her. I looked out of the window and noticed my reflection; my hair was white with glowing red streaks. The whites of my eyes were a dark blue, plus my eyes were completely black with 3 red dots around a blue pupil. There was some sort of mark on my forehead as well.
Then, the reflection seemingly grabbed me and pulled me out of the plane window! I activated Mode Three but it seemed like time froze! The plane was still in place, and there my reflection was!
"W-Who are you?!" I yelled to him.
He grinned menacingly, "Isn't it obvious? I'm you! The NEW you, Alyx..."
This couldn't have been who my Father was talking about, right? I charged towards him but as soon as I tried to hit him, he disappeared! I turned around and saw him a few feet away from me.
"The world shall rejoice in our radiance, Alyx. In I, Mikaboshi's, supreme radiance! Now... Goodbye!" Mikaboshi cackled.
I couldn't move at all, no matter how hard I tried! Right before the blast he let off hit me, I woke up. I shot up and screamed in terror.
"Alyx! What's wrong? Are you okay?" Momo looked concerned.
I was breathing very quickly; it took me a minute to calm down and answer her. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
"Y-Yeah... It was just a nightmare." I responded.
"Must've been some nightmare if it managed to scare you!" Kaminari added.
I looked out of the plane window; I still couldn't get that image out of my head. Mikaboshi? That sounded so familiar...
"Are you sure you're okay?" Momo asked.
I guess she could tell that I really wasn't from the look on my face.
"I just... I don't know. Something's telling me that this trip isn't going to end well." I told her.
[A Couple Hours Later...]
Once we landed, we were greeted by loads of people. It seems they've heard about us! We got to the hotel we were going to be staying at, which U.A. bought for us to stay at. I didn't think that you could buy out an entire hotel, but I guess anything is possible at this point! I got into my hotel room and sat on my bed. I stared at my hands, then at the mirror in my room. I noticed that Mikaboshi was in my place again!
"I'm not letting you get your way!" I yelled.
I rushed towards the mirror in Mode Three and punched it. I heard my door open and I looked behind me.
"Woah, everything alright, bro? Kirishima asked me.
"I'm fine. Thanks!" I reassured him.
Kirishima nodded and closed my door.
"They won't believe you, Alyx." I heard Mikaboshi's voice.
I turned around but saw nobody there.
"You know what? How about you fuck off, is that an option for you?" I fumed.
Mikaboshi laughed at me, "Is that supposed to intimidate me, mortal? I appreciate your attempts."
I shook my head, "Listen, whatever the hell you have planned, I'm not gonna let it happen."
There was silence, maybe I finally shut him up? I repaired the mirror and was about to leave my room. I grabbed the door knob but I just couldn't turn it. I let go of the door knob and locked my door. I put my back against the door and sat down, I held my knees close together. Why was this happening to me? It's just been a string of bad luck; will I actually ever sit down and feel peace? I felt myself start to tear up.
"W-Why... Just, why?" I sighed quietly.
I heard my door knob turn, then a knock on my door.
"Alyx? Darling, are you okay?" Momo wondered.
I slowly got up and unlocked the door, I opened it. Momo looked at me, she looked extremely worried. Momo entered my room and shut the door, she turned around and I immediately fell into her arms.
"Momo... I-I'm... I'm scared..." I slightly sniffled.
"Alyx, what do you mean?" She asked.
We sat down on my bed, "That nightmare... It wasn't really just a dream. I think I understand what it was."
"It wasn't just a dream? Do you mean it was a vision?" She questioned.
I nodded and I looked towards the mirror.
"Momo, whatever happens to me," I looked at her, "Don't hold back. Don't let anyone hold back, got it?"
She looked at me confused, "What are you talking about, Alyx? What's going on?"
"Have you ever heard of Mikaboshi? Or well, know of Mikaboshi? I think I might be able to explain it if you don't." I asked.
"I do. He's an evil Japanese God. Why? What's this got to do with him?" Momo agreed.
I told her about how Mikaboshi was inside of me, or well, was somewhat a spiritual entity that "possessed" me. I drew a picture of what "I" looked like and showed it to her. She looked stunned.
"Holy hell... What do we do?" Momo fretted.
"I'm not sure, I'm just hoping nothing bad happens while we're here." I replied.
Momo and I left the room and went outside.
"Hey! What took you guys so long?" Sero wondered.
I was going to say something, but I felt Mikaboshi's presence start to creep up. I tensed up and grit my teeth.
"Oh, sorry! We were talking about somethings, we lost track of time." Momo quickly answered.
Every reflection I saw, all I could see was Mikaboshi looking back at me.
"Alyx! Is that really you?" I heard someone call out.
I turned around and saw Ikari!
"Ikari! Hey man! Long time no see!" I yelled to him.
Ikari and I fist bumped, "Hey, everyone! This is Ikari!"
Ikari waved at them. They all looked rather stunned at his height, I'm pretty sure I was when I first saw him as well!
"Hey! Nice to meet you! I'm Kirishima!" Kirishima beamed as he shook Ikari's hand.
"How'd you two meet? He certainly doesn't look like a student!" Hagakure noted.
"Well, I don't really remember the specifics, but we first met on some island. Then, we fought! He's super strong! From what I remember, that is." I told them.
"Oh, really? Cool!" Kaminari exclaimed.
"So, how old are you? 23? 24?" Jiro guessed.
"No, I'm actually 17." Ikari replied.
"17?!?!" Everyone shouted.
"Yep! His height kind of makes it seem like he's a lot older than what you think." Annie reassured.
I laughed at their surprise, "Yeah! That's what we first thought too when we first met him!"
"Do you mind if I accompany you all? Annie and I can show you around." Ikari smiled.
We all agreed and we followed Annie and Ikari. I'm pretty sure a lot has changed since I left for Japan, since Ikari was telling us a looooot of things! I almost forgot about Mikaboshi until we found a fountain.
"Did you make your wish yet, Alyx?" Deku asked.
I nodded my head as I threw a coin into the fountain. Hopefully my wish would come true, I didn't want Mikaboshi around anymore!
"HOLY SHIT! MAID CAFE?!" I heard Mineta scream.
I looked up at the building he was standing in front of. We all joined him as he started foaming at the mouth with intense perversion.
"Yeah, this has been around for a while. It used to be Alyx's favorite place when he was little since he could hug the 'friendly ladies'." Annie laughed.
"H-Hey! Now it sounds like you're making me out to be like Mineta!" I puffed my cheeks out.
"I don't think I've ever been insulted but in the nicest form possible until now." Mineta remarked.
We all walked into Mineta's dreamland. I was hit with a wave of nostalgia that assaulted my eyes and brain, but I couldn't remember a thing about being here, besides what Annie told me.
"Hiya! Welcome to Café Rosé! Make yourselves at home!" A woman greeted us.
"THIS PLACE IS A DREAM COME TRUE!" Kaminari beamed.
"YEAH! IT IS!!" Mineta agreed.
The two fell over on their backs with looks of pure happiness on their face. I looked back up, put my hand on the back of my head and smiled at the woman.
"S-Sorry! They're just getting used to their surroundings." I laughed.
"Oh, it's no big deal! Quite a few people have the same reaction upon entering, I'm assuming this is their first time?" She giggled.
I nodded at her, "Yeah, it's been a dream of theirs."
She giggled some more before leading us to our seats. We all sat in different booths, I sat with Momo, Deku, Uraraka, Tokoyami, and Shoto. I still couldn't get my mind off of Mikaboshi, I doubt I'll really even sleep tonight. I saw his reflection in the window I looked out of.
"Is there something wrong, Alyx?" Deku spoke up.
I looked over at him, "Whatever happens during this trip, I want you all to make yourselves the priority, not me. Alright?"
"W-What? What do you mean?" He wondered.
"I'm not sure if you've heard about Amatsu Mikaboshi, neither am I sure about this myself, but he's... Apart of me in some way, I wouldn't call it possession since I still have control of myself." I explained.
"I know I have, Alyx. He's not one to be trifled with, the entity itself requires a tremendous amount of sacrifices in order to be summoned. Whoever managed to do that, they must be a prolific killer, do you remember anyone that wasn't exactly fond of you?" Tokoyami chimed in.
I shook my head, "No, I don't honestly. I'd imagine that there'd be at least someone out there."
How many people did this person kill in order to have Mikaboshi possess me? That was a question for another day, right now, I just needed to figure out what to do about him.
