Chapter Ten: Siblings Power Up

JAMIE!!! GET UP!!" Candice said as Jamie woke up. "What… What is it?" Jamie asked. "Me, you and Fourze are going to the battlefield to practice. Come on!" Candice said as Jamie got up and got dressed. "Ok ok. Jeez. Is Fourze up?" Jamie asked. "Right here," Fourze said. "Ok. Here I come," Jamie said as he finished getting ready. We then cut to them in the practice battlefield. "Why are we here though Candice?" Fourze asked. "I found an alternative version of our quirks," Candice said. "Alternative?" Jamie asked. "Yeah. Watch this," Candice said as she switched the color of her atomic barriers from blue to orange. "Crap. That looks nice," Jamie said. "Yeah. I found this out last night" Candice said as she and Jamie go to the new and improved training area of U.A "Come on,you can do much more than that! Give me something more!" a voice shouted as Atomix and Fourze were training "take a break and get some water Fourze" Atomix said as Fourze went to the watering station made for people with heat emitter quirks "well look at you,you've really shaped up lil bro" Jamie said as Fourze waved to him while drinking water "he really has" Jirou said as she was watching a shirtless Fourze drink water. ""Okay,let's focus on some hand to hand combat training" Atomix said as Fourze cracked his neck and got in a boxing position. "*inhale* Atomic spread" Fourze said as he spread the energy of his atomic breath all over his body. "Let's do this" Fourze said as his eyes had a slight blue glow to them. Fourze then rushed at Atomix at incredible speeds and tried to land a punch directly on his chin. Atomix put his guard up and took the attack head on "hmph,that actually stung a bit" Atomix said as Fourze then threw another punch,and then another punch. Force threw an assault of punches at Atomix's arms as he then followed up by a tail whip. This combo send Atomix sliding back "i've been so weak for so long" Fourze thought as he inhaled sharpy as he let out a large scale kaiju-dama. A large blue laser was fired from his mouth and at Atomix. "Atomic Absorption" Atomix said as he stuck his hands out and absorbed the beam. "Your wide open!" FOurze said as he rushed at Atomix and landed a punch directly in his chest. Atomix was sent sliding back as Fourze tried to extend his combo. "Not so fast young Fourze,your not taking into account that whatever you can do" Atomix said as he put both hands on the ground completely stopping himself from sliding "i can do better" Atomix said as he charged up a green Atomic Blast in his mouth and shot Fourze at point blank range. The blast created a small explosion that threw up a lot of smoke "Fourze!" Candice shouted as Jamie stopped her from running in "wait for it" Jamie said as multiple small but fast blue beams came firing out of the smoke "scatter shot" Fourze said as he charged up small beams of atomic energy on his tongue and spat them out making them fire at incredible speed. "What is he training so hard for anyway?" Candice asked as Jirou answered her "oh you didn't hear,U.A are having their provisional lisence exam along with Shiketsu High. It'll be more of a battle royal type of thing where you'll have sensors on you. Each tem will have these orange rubber ballsthey have to tag the sensors with. If tey tag you,then you fail the exam. But there is that you have to rescue a certain amount of people during the exam. Each number is randomized so you'll have to be lucky and also quick" Jirou said as Candice kept this in mind "So Fourze,Izuku,Bakugou,Momo,and the rest of U.A have found training partners so they can prepare'' Jirou said. "Bet. I know who my partners are," Fourze said. "Who?" Jamie asked. "You already know the answer to that," Fourze said. "Oh. Bet," Jamie said.

"Haah!" Bakugou shouted as he shot out a massive explosion at Izuku "woah!" Izuku said as he barley dodged it. "Take this!" Izuku said as he quickly fired up full cowling and dashed at Bakugou with high speeds. "Too slow!" Bakugou shouted as he smacked Izuku dead on the ribs with an explosion. Izuku was sent sliding on his side as Bakugouput his hands on the floor "Concussive Wave!" Bakugou shouted as he sent a powerful explosion that ripped through the ground at Izuku "crap!" Izuku said as he used his hands to spring himself into the air to avoid the attack. "Bakugou seems more on edge lately,he isn't holding anything back and is fighting with everything he has" Izuku thought as the moment his foot touched the floor he fired up his full cowling to 15% and blizted directly at Bakugou "he's fast!" Bakugou thought as he felt his heart pounding out of his chest "urk!" Bakugou winced, as Izuku landed a kick directly on Bakugou's chest that sent him sliding back. "*huff* crap,lets take five Izuku,i need to sit down for a bit" Bakugou said as Izuku fell out of full cowling "alright,you feeling okay though? You seemed a bit off your game before that last attack" Izuku asked as Bakugou just waved him off "don't worry about me you damn nerd,just worry about getting stronger. You don't want to be dead weight" Bakugou said as he walked to Recovery Girl's office. "Well hello there dear,what seems to be the problem?" RG said sweetly as Baugou tooka seat on the examination bed "i don't really know how to explain it. I was in the middle of training and all of a sudden it felt like my heart was pounding out of my chest. It hurt a fair bit and threw me off my game. Would you happen to know what that may be?" Bakugou asked as RG looked through her files "hmm,i think i might know what this might be,someone in the past had a quirk just like yours and complained about his chest among other things. He said it was like his heart and slides felt the recoil of every explosion he let out whenever he pushed himself to his limit or trained to hard" RG said as she got of her little wheelie char and put her stethoscope to Bakugou's chest,specifically where his heart would be. "Breathe in for me" RG said as Bakugou took a deep breath. "Ah!" Bakugou let out as he felt a sharp pain in where his heart would be "hmm,it hurts to breathe in,okay,try smaller breaths,while you do that i'm going to be calling your mother and the hospital" RG said as Bakugou looked at her confused "why the hospital?" Bakugou asked as RG looked at him worriedly "dear,i'm afraid that due to the intensity and rate that your progressing your quirk,that your body physically can't keep up and is taking internal damage as a result. For reference,your heart beat is irregular,now that could be just genecitic,but i'm thinking that your heart may have a slight tear. Seeing how as your still awake and somewhat breathing normally,then it's not severe at the moment but it's better we get this treated early then wit for it to intensify" RG said as Bakugou looked down "i understand,but why can't you just fix it with your quirk,you've healed worse injuries right?" Bakugou asked as Rg shook her head "dear,i'm afraid that my quirk would only worsen the problem. My quirk doesn't technically heal you,it stimulates your brain into activating the chemicals that would normally do it for you. Thus making your body heal itself. Your heart is a key process in all of this,if i were to use my quirk then it'd kick your heart into overdrive and only make it beat faster thus making the tear larger. You need professional medical help,i've already texted 911,they should be hear within 5 minutes,please don't take this the wrong way dear. You are strong,stronger than All Might when he was your age,but everyone grows differently and has limits. This might just be one of yours" RG said as Bakugou nodded. "Damn,maybe i have reached my limit" Bakugou said as he heard an ambulance outside "are you Bakugou Katuski?" a nurse asked as Bakugou nodded "come with me,we'll have you fixed up in no time" the nurse said.

We cut to Max as he had cuts, bruises all over his body as he was fighting 3 shadow knights. "He's progressing quicker than I expected,he went from barely being able to scratch 1 shadow knight,to confidently taking on 3 of them simultaneously. All of this in just a few days,lets see how far we can take this" Sung thought as he retracted the shadow knights back into his shadow. "Alright Max,take a 20 minute break,after that,i'm going to push you past your limit. You'll be fighting a Private in my shadow army. He's very experienced in close combat and a bit of a numbskull. Meet Iron" Sung said as from his shadows came out a massive purple man with black armor covering his shoulders,legs and face. "RAAAAH!" Iron let out as he yawned. "Alright, just give me a sec" Max said as he forced his body to heal the dangerous wounds on his body and made two swords out of shadows. "Oh,seems like your ready for battle already,okay. Iron,no using your axe,and no bitting,got it?" Sung said as Iron nodded "rah!" Iron said as he focused on Max and became silent as he readied his stance. Max rushed in as he threw a shadow smoke bomb on the ground and threw several knives at it. Iron then clapped his hands as blew away all the smoke with a large gust of wind. Iron then started to rush at Max. Max absorbed the smoke and healed completely. Max jumped high in the air before slamming down on Iron. Max only managed to break Iron's hand. "Dang it. You are much different from the rest. I learned how to change the density on shadow based items or creature's yet you only broke your hand" Max said as he threw a few more knives as he jumped away. Iron then looked at his hand and then looked back at Max with a smile. Iron's hand then went back to normal as it rushed at Max at higher speeds this time and landed a thunderous punch to the stomach. Iron then grabbed Max and tossed him into the air. "Haha" Max said before he disappeared from the sky and Iron received a heavy punch from his side. "I learned that his creations have independent thoughts. So I made you see what I want you to see" Max said. "Iron,stop playing with your food and fight for real" Sung said as he was sitting on a lawn chair eating popcorn while watching the fight. Iron then looked at Sung and nodded. Iron's color then changed from light blue to purple. Iron's armor then covered his entire body as his helmet then covered his entire face. "You can use the axe too" Sung said as he was pleased with Max's performance "i knew he had potential but damn,he is actually keeping up with Iron" sung thought as the battle continued. "What I hate is that I'm called a weak name," Max said as he was covered in bulky shadow armor. Iron didn't respond however and there was an immense amount of bloodlust in the air coming from the both of them. Iron then blasted over to Max and nearly took his head clean off his shoulders with his war axe. Max barely dodged but gave Iron a low kick as he moved away. Iron fell to one knee as he threw his axe only to follow the shadow it casted to seemingly teleport to it to try and catch Max off guard. Iron then swung at Max but missed. The axe hit the ground as the force of it split the edge of the island and a bit of the sea floor. Leaving a divot in the ocean around them. "I'm disappointed in myself. I have to use shadow speed just to dodge your attacks" Max said as he stayed 5 meters away from him."Grr!" Iron let out as he started to get annoyed. "Uh-oh" Sung thought as he could feel anger emanating from Iron. Iron then started to grow in size until he was large enough that one of his legs was the size of Max. Iron then spun his axe and swiped his axe so fast that it brung a large gust of wind behind it. Max jumped away with a large cut on his chest. "That should be enough. Detonate" Max said as tons of shadow bombs showed themselves on the ground below Iron and blew up. Iron fell on his face as dust and dirt was thrown up. "GRAAAAH!" Iron let out as before Max could react a massive axe was speeding down at him "return!" Sung said as the shadow axe and Iron were swallowed by Sung's shadow. "That's enough for today,you can go rest,you've impressed me. Tomorrow morning will be a rest day for you. After that you'll be doing training with my upper tier shadows" Sung ssaid as Max shot him a thumbs up before passing out.
