Chapter 10 - A Trip to the Mall

Author's Note: Sorry for not posting for the past few days. A combination of laziness, business, and slight lack of motivation held me back. Also my wingman's sick right now and he's a big factor why I make these chapters.

Time Skip (2 years)

I think my timeline is in order. The fight between All Might and Toxic Chainsaw happened a few days ago, so that means the fight between him and All For One has also taken place. Nothing interesting has happened since my quirk test and it seems time is going by pretty fast. The only thing I can think of that happened in my last 2 years was this one time Ragdoll and Tiger found a guy spying on us, or something. Ragdoll spotted him and Tiger tried to capture him. He escaped sadly, so we will never know what his deal was.

(Narrator)

It was the spy All For One sent. He has been slightly dissuaded after that incident and has decided to just keep an eye out for Ota. After his battle with All Might, he has especially been masking his actions. No further movement to investigate Ota has been taken, but the interest of All For One and the Doctor has been piqued by the occurrence of a, what they described as, a 'Meta Quirk.'

(Ota)

I've kept friends with Takao, Jiro, and Aiko. I can still feel a thing between Aiko and Takao. And I think whatever Jiro felt for me has passed. There's not much that we do other than train. Aiko hasn't joined us for training for one reason or another, but that doesn't mean she doesn't swing around to watch. I don't want to admit it, but she kicked ass one day… Don't look at me like that. I don't know what that kid does in her free time, but one day she watched with Jiro as Me and Takao were training. Takao thought it would be neat to have a no quirks test with Aiko. Aiko was against it but Takao convinced her. We did our no quirks test and even against me, she flipped me around and laid me out.

Not much to it besides that, *sigh*. Anyways, we're currently all walking around the mall. Aiko apparently knows the people that run the mall and they've alerted the security about us. This is why we're able to walk around without an adult. We're just walking around and browsing, nothing interesting. It's hard to find things that interest me right now. The only things I do is quirk training, physical training, and learning. Not learning in school, but online learning. I was an avid learner back in my last life. Right now I'm learning coding. I might look into the support classes at U.A when I grow up. I don't know how being enrolled in both courses will work but they shouldn't discourage it, hopefully.

*Crash* Suddenly a giant pinball comes into view crashing out a store window a few meters in front of us. 'What the?' The pinball starts out moving forward but it then turns and starts coming towards us. 'Shit!' I step up slightly in front of the group, 'If it's coming at us then it will be considered self defence if I use my quirk.' I bring up my hands and start using my control of velocity to slow down the speeding rolie polie to a stop 3 meters in front of us. 'SHIT! The thing is still spinning. I can stop it's movement forward but I can't stop it's spin.'

*Thud* I turn my head to look to the side of our group. A man wearing a weird green viney outfit comes out the door of a store next to us. He yells out towards the pinball, "Omari, come on!" "If you haven't seen already, I'm kinda stuck," the human rollie pollie yells out from his shell. The viney man looks at me and starts running, *Pop Pop Pop* a security officer shoots at the villain running at us. The guy suddenly sprouts big green grassy points out of his body blocking the shots. He keeps running and is prepared to football charge me. Luckily Takao steps up and hits the man in the stomach.

The man is pushed back a bit and as Takao retracts his fist, his hand is covered in blood. With closer inspection, a green viney barbed wire runs around the villain's body. 'Crap, I need to help Takao, but this pinball won't stop spinning. Think Michael Think, what can I do to fix this? Hmmmmm … FRICTION, if I can get rid of the friction between him and the floor, his spin can't propel him forward.' I refocus some of my energy into the floor and I can feel the energy fill the micro cracks that cause friction. I start feeling the energy needed to hold the villain back become non-existent and I turn to face Takao.

Takao currently has some bloody knuckles and is being forced back. The villain has some sort of thorn quirk and Takao can't do anything but try to minimize the damage and push back the villain. 'A simple shot should work.' I hold up my hand in a finger gun and start charging a bullet aiming at the chest. I let loose the energy ball and it flies towards the guy's chest. I kept the energy consumption to .75%, less than half the amount needed to go through a tree but plenty enough to properly wind an adult.

The man sees my obvious attempt at his demise and doges, the ball passes by and starts barrelling toward bystanders. 'Shit!' I quickly open up a portal aimed for the space ball and have the exit aimed for the guys back. The energy ball passes through the portal and hits the guy, properly this time, into the back. He gets sent forward and falls on the ground. His costume's back is properly ripped up and he seems unconscious, I guess Takao's beating plus mine was too much for him.

"Lay on the ground and close your eyes if you don't want your friend hurt." I turn around to see the guy that's supposed to be in the no friction zone out of it and Aiko on the other side. He has Jiro infront of him and his hand wrapped around her head ready to snap it. 'Welp, shit.' I do as he says and lay on the ground with my eyes closed, Takao obviously follows suit. I don't, however, stop looking because I send my senses above my body like how I do with long distance teleportation.

This man has a weird rock suit on, it has the front side of him without rocks, but the back , back of the head, back of the arms, etc. all have rocks on them. The man walks with Jiro over to his friend and instead of checking his condition, he takes the loot the guy had which comes in a chain and rolex around the neck and wrist with several other jewelry and such stuffed in his pockets. 'What a shity pair of criminals, good for us. *smile*' The man grabs his stuff and is about to throw Jiro away and 'roll out' until Jiro snaps out of her thoughts and sticks the guy in the arm with her ear plugs.

The plugs go into the inner part of his elbow and send vibrations into it. The man instantly drops Jiro and he starts shaking his hand in from the pain and to hopefully stop the convulsions. 'It probably feels crazy weird having literal sound transmitted into your arm, but it's a good distraction.' I take this moment to remote teleport on top of the man's back. I get my hands placed together above my head praising the lord before slamming them into his face adding a little extra velocity to the hit. The dude begins falling backward and I jump off his back landing safely.

I check both of the villain's conditions and find them both unconscious but still breathing. I then check on Jiro while Takao checks on Aiko. "Are you ok?" I can't really say anything besides the obvious. Jiro is currently on the ground shaking a bit holding herself. "I'm fine, it just doesn't feel good using my quirk like that." 'Eww, yeah. Imagine jamming your finger into someone and then shaking that shit 'round. Nasty.' I shake off the nasty feeling and help Jiro up heading to the other half of the group. We regroup and security comes over and helps. They take us to a separate part of the mall with sofas and sit us down with some blankets and hot chocolate.

'This is cozy.' Takao is chillin like me, not shaken up much and so is Aiko. Jiro is still a bit shaken up, messing with her ear plugs. I wrap the blanket the security guard gave me and my hands around Jiro try to comfort her in some way. She seems to appreciate that. 'Jeez, this isn't affecting me much because I'm 23, but even with Jiro slightly shaken, it's not due to fear. This place is pretty fucked up if they have children acting so calmly after a situation like this, they're only 8!' Eventually the cops arrive and apprehend the villains. They talk to us a bit, getting our point of view. They scold us for using our quirks but everyone they talk to agrees that it was in self defense so it was warranted.

They also had something to say about how injured the vine guy was. Apparently he cracked 2 ribs and they wanted us to feel bad for hurting them? 'Fuck you, they attacked us. If they get a few broken ribs from the fight, that's all on them.' "Ok sir, we'll be more careful," is what I actually said. So after all that, we left. Takao's hands were bandaged up but he didn't complain much about it, actually a bit excited from it? He seems proud for beating up his first villain, which is fair.

As we were leaving, a girl came up to me. "Hey, thank you for beating up the villains, it was really cool," the girl says and I get the itch that I know this person. 'Let's see, blond hair, bangs cut to slightly above the eyebrows, pointy teeth, and a big smile. ALL MIGHT'S SECRET LOVE CHILD? Jk, it's Toga without her puffballs on the sides of her head.' "No need to thank me, I just did what I thought was right." "That's super cool, I'm Toga by the way." "It's nice to meet you too Toga, I'm Ota. What are you doing at the mall?" "Me and some friends were hanging out," she points to a group of 5 kids sitting at a table. "That's cool."

I noticed a quick glance from her at the cut I sustained on my hand. 'Riiiiight, I don't know much of Toga's back story, but she's basically a vampire. Maybe she wants a little blood.' It's kind of odd seeing her so well-behaved, I wonder what made her turn psycho. "Hey, this is an odd question; but, would you like some?" I slightly raise my hand with the cut up and show it to her. She looks at me a bit strangely and stares at my hand. She stays staring for about 5 seconds before she breaks out of her trance, "No that's silly, you're weird." 'Yeah ok, coming from the future psycho!'

It's extremely hard to tell, but her comment and smile are off and a bit fake. 'I don't know what happened to Toga that made her bat shit crazy, but I'll try to save her from her future self if I can.' With that we walk home with a plus 1 and I make sure to get a way to contact Toga after today. 'Wait, how did the villain get out of the no friction zone?'

"Hey, AIKO!" She stops talking to Takao and looks at me. "How did that roller villain get out of my trap?" She looks off to the side and thinks, "idk." 'Wow, very helpful.' "Tell me what happened." She then explains, "Well, after you did your thing, He kept spinning and started moving slowly off the place you set up. After I saw this I went over to push him back in the middle, but he stopped spinning and grabbed me and threw me into the spot. I then slid off to the other side, how did you do that?" I think about how the criminal was still able to move but I answer, "It's a part of my quirk, I guess."

The kids kept bugging me about my quirk, even Toga, and I just told them I can do a lot of stuff. They weren't too happy with my answer and promptly ignored me for the rest of the walk back to everyone's house. 'Wow, children are ruthless. If you have secrets, stay away from children.'
