"Goddamn it, Deku! Why didn't you wait?!" Bakugo shouted.
"Oh God! Alyx, I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" Deku apologized.
There I was, on the floor of the gym, absolutely rattled by One For All at 100%. He caught me off guard while I tried to enter Gear Five. So much for an easier day...
"I don't think I can feel my legs... Or the rest of my body." I replied.
Shoto and Uraraka rushed over to me.
"Are you alright?" Uraraka asked.
"Have you ever watched someone fold over an omelet? I'm that omelet right now." I replied.
After Mr. Aizawa returned with Recovery Girl to heal me up, I returned to the dorms to take a well-deserved nap. I entered my room and heard my watch buzzing. I nearly forgot about that device I used to get back home from that other dimension! I walked over and pulled it out of my desk.
"Heya, who is this?" I wondered.
"Alyxus! Ms. Aizawa managed to get communication established between your dimension and ours! How's it been?" She questioned.
"Oh, hey! It's been great!" I replied.
"Nice, that's good to hear, we're heading to this place called Jaku City today with Endeavor. I'm not sure why though." Alyxus told me.
I nearly dropped the watch, "I'm on my way there."
I heard her say something as I teleported to her world. I appeared directly behind her and she turned around.
"H-HOLY SHIT!" She shouted.
"Sorry! I didn't know I'd be right here!" I laughed.
Alyxus steadied her breathing, "It's fine. Why are you here?"
"Trust me, you all are gonna need the help." I responded.
I walked out of her dorm room with her, which it actually looked identical to mine! I noticed that she was wearing the hanafuda earrings now, so that's good.
"Alyx?" I heard Shotai ask.
I turned around and she ran up to me. She actually gave me a hug which kind of surprised me.
"I missed you." She muttered.
I smiled and turned my head over to Alyxus.
"She's been slowly learning how to express her emotions. The girls and I have been helping her out with that." Alyxus telepathically told me.
I nodded, "Ah, okay, I see."
We ventured downstairs to the others. Honestly, I was more than ready to rewrite a wrong!
"Alyx, may I hold your hand?" Shotai asked.
"Good grief... Alright, sure." I chuckled.
To everyone's delight, I returned to their world, I guess I nearly forgot I told them I was going to visit!
"Alright everyone, let's go kick some ass!" I beamed.
[30 Minutes Later...]
We arrived in Jaku City, I stared down at the hospital towards the edge of town.
"Hey, Alyxus, what's with the earrings?" I heard Izumi ask her.
Everything was going like how it did in my world, but right as we left towards the city, I activated Gear Five and flew into the air.
"Nobody touch that hospital! I'm putting a shield around it, just worry about evacuating the citizens out of this place, got it?" I relayed to everyone.
I raced towards the hospital, I definitely had way more than enough power to keep a shield around it! I felt for this world's Mirko's Heat Energy, the only one I could feel was Shigaraki's inside of the hospital. I placed my hands down and surrounded the hospital with a force shield. I knew everything that was about to happen, I could change the future! I watched as everyone quickly evacuated the citizens with rapid succession! The hospital began to rumble and turn to ash! I looked down and saw that the hospital had been destroyed within seconds. Not only that, but I heard stomping in the distance. Gigantomachia was making his way over to Jaku City!
"Alyx, everyone's been evacuated!" Endeavor relayed to me.
I dropped the shield and darted towards Gigantomachia, I needed to end him right here and now! Mt. Lady was trying to hold him back, the only thing different about this situation was that Mt. Lady has brown colored hair instead of it being blonde. We couldn't hurt Gigantomachia since he couldn't sense pain, but that doesn't mean he's unkillable! Gigantomachia somehow chucked Mt. Lady straight at me! It must've knocked her out since she started shrinking down, I caught her and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Are you alright?" I questioned.
"A-Are you... An angel?" Mt. Lady responded.
I frowned and narrowed my eyes, Gigantomachia was making his way to Jaku City quickly, I moved Mt. Lady to my back and I floated down towards Gigantomachia's face. He stopped in his tracks and stared at me.
"Hey, where exactly do you think you're going?" I smirked.
I added Boost Fire: Times 40 onto Gear Five before knocking him in the jaw with a Supernova Fist. He flew backwards and hit the ground hard.
"H-Holy hell... Are you 18?" Mt. Lady asked.
"Are you flirting with me while we're in battle? If so... Yes, I'm 18. Not physically but... It's complicated." I replied.
I returned my attention to Gigantomachia who was slowly getting up to his feet. Now that he's standing straight up, I may have bitten off more than I can chew... On second thought...
"What now? He's practically unstoppable!" Mt. Lady exclaimed.
I created a Flash Cannon and threw it at him, at the level I'm at now, it should be way more than enough to take him down! The only real threat to me right now was Shigaraki. He stupidly got right up close to it and I detonated the Flash Cannon right in front of his face! As the smoke cleared, it revealed a decapitated Gigantomachia, who's body crashed to the ground. Geez, if I hadn't lost my memory back then, maybe I would've had somewhat of an easier time, but I also guess I have to thank the fact that my Quirk's been awoken as well.
"That's that! Okay... Now, all of us can concentrate on Shigaraki!" I exclaimed.
I looked over at Mt. Lady who was just staring at me.
She blinked a few times, "Just who are you? You look so familiar!"
"Let's just say that I'm not from here." I smiled.
I landed down towards Momo's group, Alyxus was already down there waiting.
"That was amazing! You took him out in one shot! Do you think you could teach me how to do that?!" Alyxus beamed.
"Sure, but right now, we have a tyrant to take care of! Shigaraki's rather strong, so don't get cocky. If you have to retreat, don't hesitate to do so, I'd rather have you all run away from danger instead of taking it head on." I told them.
Alyxus and I led the charge of hundreds of heroes towards Jaku City. We saved thousands of lives just by taking Gigantomachia out of the equation, Shigaraki is definitely gonna be a toughie! I made it just in time right as Shigaraki was going to impale Bakugo. I jumped into action, tackled Bakugo out of the way, preventing her from getting stabbed. We rolled on the ground and I held her close to me as I slammed into a piece of debris.
"A-Alyx? Why did you...?" Bakugo muttered.
I smiled at her, which kind of hurt to do since I hit my back hard, she started blushing and pushed off of me.
"Y-You idiot! I... I could've saved myself." Bakugo scowled.
"Thank you though..." She muttered.
I stood up, "Huh? What'd you say?"
"I said 'THANK YOU', do you want me to fucking say it louder?!" She retorted.
Shigaraki made eye contact with me. Her eye began to twitch and so did her fingers.
"Y-You... You shouldn't be here!" Shigaraki screamed.
"I'd agree with you, but as soon as they told me that they were coming here, I just couldn't resist redeeming myself. So, Shigaraki, are you ready?" I responded.
I closed my eyes and entered Infinite Mode. As I opened my eyes, the aura around me ignited, lighting up my entire body.
"What...? What is that?" Shigaraki croaked.
"It's called 'Infinite Mode', Shigaraki. I'd tell you the full details but... I'd be spoiling the surprise." I smiled.
"OH MY GOD! HE REALLY IS A GOD!" Minoru shouted.
Bakugo stood next to me, "You seriously were holding out on us, weren't you? You jackass!"
The other Pro Heroes emerged towards Shigaraki after dispatching the Nomus around the area.
"Give it up, Shigaraki, you've got nowhere to go." I told her.
She began to twitch and scratch her neck violently, "M-Mother... I... I... You..."
I watched on as Shigaraki began to sit down and mutter to herself, still scratching her neck. All of the sudden, she began to convulse and she dropped backwards to the ground. The others started to approach her but I held my hand out to stop them. I slowly walked over to Shigaraki, I placed two fingers under her neck to feel for a pulse.
"S-She... She's dead?" I announced.
"Really? That was... Easy?" Alyxus replied.
I closed my eyes and tried to sense for any sort of discrepancy on Shigaraki. I couldn't sense anything, so she really was dead.
"Huh... I guess All For One must've decided that she's now no longer of use. I feel bad for her, although she's caused so much torment, she got cast out by the same person that took her in." I lamented.
I lifted her up, "Uh... Alyx, what are you doing?"
"Where was Nana Shimura buried?" I asked.
"Just northeast of here, about 8 miles away, why?" Ms. Aizawa replied.
"I'm giving her a proper burial." I told them.
She nodded and I took off towards the northeast. I know for a fact that Shigaraki was still alive, but if I could change the future for her, I'd do it in a heartbeat as well.
"W-Why... Why didn't... Y-You... Kill me...?" She croaked.
"You've already been through so much, Shigaraki. Killing you would've kept the torment going, the afterlife wouldn't have been forgiving on you, I don't think I could live with myself knowing that. I can tell that you're feeling safe, being that you haven't attacked me." I explained.
She didn't say anything to me, it didn't take us long before we got to our destination. We landed down and she stumbled off of me. I helped her get balanced before we approached the gravestone.
"This is... Grandfather Shimura's... What are we doing here?" Shigaraki asked.
I sat down on my legs in front of the gravestone, "I told them I'd bury you here since I said you were dead. Come on, sit down."
She looked at me for a bit before walking towards me and sitting down next to me. I put my hands in front of me in a prayer form and closed my eyes. We sat together in silence for a few minutes before I opened my eyes. I placed my hand on top on Shigaraki's while still looking at the gravestone.
"Your soul is troubled, I can tell that confliction is in your heart, nobody should've gone through the amount of pain you've gone through. What you've done was influenced by evil, there's no way around it, but you can change. I've done similar things in the past, things that I never thought anyone would forgive me for. But since I had a good nature and good heart, they gave me a second chance, or well... Too many chances to count." I told her.
(I.R.P.: Listen to "Supportive Heart" from My Hero Academia)
"It's because they believed in me not only as a hero, but as a human being. Nobody reached out to you because they thought you were a freak, simply because of the Quirk you have, you didn't deserve a life like this but it's what fate brought to you." I continued.
"What does that have to do with this? How do you know so much about me?" Shigaraki asked.
I stood up and extended my hand, "You don't deserve to be called a 'villain', Shigaraki. You needed someone to tell you that they were here but nobody showed up besides All For One, someone with different motives, one's that shaped you into who you are. Tenki, please, let me be the hero you've needed for all these years. Let me be the one to tell you that I am here."
She stared up at me, Tenki closed her eyes and slowly grabbed my hand. I let off a smile as she opened her eyes, she looked surprised, I guess she thought that I'd decay like the others.
"Your power doesn't have to be used for evil, neither does it make you a villain, you CAN be a hero, Tenki. Anyone can." I gently smiled.
The words I told her finally settled in her mind, tears began to flow down her face as her lip quivered. She quickly stood up and hugged me, burying her face into my shoulder.
"Thank you... Alyx..." She quietly wept.
I looked up and saw Nana, both of them in fact! They were smiling at me as they nodded. The two of them faded away before I could tell them anything. But I think they already knew what I was going to say. I looked down at Tenki and hugged her back.
"Whatever All For One has done, we'll reverse it, together. I promise you." I reassured her.
She looked up at me, "B-But what about those... 'Heroes'...?"
"I won't let them hurt you, they'll listen to me, it will take some convincing though." I responded.
We took off back towards Jaku City, it was definitely going to be interesting to figure out what exactly to tell the others.
[20 Minutes Later...]
After some extremely thorough convincing, everyone understood why I lied to them, also why I didn't kill Shigaraki myself. Being that All For One was still locked up in Tartarus, we didn't have to worry about an uprising. But Shigaraki would be heavily monitored by both the police force and the Pro Heroes. Once our rather quick city cleanup ended, all of us returned to the dorms. Being that my travel watch only could be used once every day, I was stuck here until the morning. By the time we got back to the dorms, it was already 9:30 PM. I really only had one place to sleep, Momo allowed me to wear some of his clothes to bed...
Which wasn't something I think I'd ever legitimately think about. As I tried to fall asleep, I felt someone tap my shoulder, I turned over and saw Katsuko.
"Get up, you're sleeping in my room tonight. Sleeping on a couch is hard on your back, dumbass." She told me.
"Huh? You what...?" I sleepily wondered.
"I don't think I fucking stuttered, now did I? Get your ass up and let's go." Bakugo fumed.
I got up and followed her into her room. It had a few All Might posters alongside a couple figures of All Might. But other than that, it was rather plain and simple.
I tossed the blanket on the floor, "I'm assuming I'm sleeping on the floor?"
"No, you're not." She replied.
She got into her bed and I stood there waiting for her to tell me where I was sleeping.
"Are you gonna just stand there looking fucking stupid or are you gonna lay down?" Katsuko asked.
I walked over to her bed and laid down. She covered herself completely in her blanket.
"Well, goodnight, Katsuko." I smiled.
She kept facing her wall and didn't say anything. I turned away from her, right as I was about to fall asleep, I felt a blanket cover me.
"Cuddle me." She demanded.
"Y-You want me... To what?" I yawned.
"I SAID CUDDLE ME GODDAMN IT!!" Katsuko roared.
I quickly put my arms around her to avoid anymore of her yelling.
"No goddamn Half and Half Bitch is gonna out cuddle me... That fucker..." I heard her grumble.
I gotta hand it to her, at least she's still got that 'I gotta be the best' attitude. I finally got to sleep. There was just one more place I wanted to visit before I returned home. Hopefully, he's been training since we first met!
