Continuing where we left off
After leaving Momo at her hotel I ended up staying alone in mine with my mind disturbed.
Saito:I don't like this at all! Why does it feel like there's something blocking me from remembering that girl?!
It's very strange, and like I don't know her, but at the same time I feel really bad when I try to remember.
Saito:Damn! Did someone block my memories? It can only be this!
The only ones are people from my world like Fubuki's old friend and the evil Espers organization.
ðŸ’Did I end up letting my guard down and letting them mess with my head?
My thought is interrupted when I receive a call from Iida saying that Izuku and I are late.
💠I better leave this alone for now. I'm on vacation, I have to have fun and not worry about something that has already passed.
I say this trying to distract my mind and wear formal clothes for the party. Izuku and I arrived at the tower and saw that Iida, Todoroki, Mineta and Kaminari were waiting for us.
Izuku:Sorry for being late. Wait, where is everyone?
Iida: They're not here yet. What do they think "participating as a group" means?!
Just as Iida starts to complain, Uraraka arrives wearing a pink and burgundy dress.
Uraraka: Sorry guys, I ended up being late....
Soon after, Jirou and Momo arrived with their appropriate dresses, but Jirou doesn't seem comfortable in her clothes.
Momo: I'm sorry I'm late, but Jirou....
Jirou:I...I'm not used to wearing clothes like that.
Kaminari:Clothes make the man, right?
Mineta:She looks like a murderous woman....
The moment the two idiots said that, Jirou uses her Quirk to put a loud sound in the two boys' ears.
Jirou:Shut up!
Kaminari:But I praised you!
Jirou:You call that a compliment?
I see Uraraka approaching Izuku with a shy expression.
Uraraka: It's my first time wearing formal clothes. I borrowed it from Yaoyoruzu-san.
Izuku: It looks good on you.... Yes, very good.
Izuku said this making Uraraka super nervous and red.
Uraraka:Deku-kun! You don't need to praise me!
She said this, waving her arm without any control, trying to hide her joy.
ðŸ’She can't control her happiness, just admit that you wanted to know Izuku's opinion.
After a few seconds, Melissa is the last to enter the tower.
Melissa: Oh, are you still here? The party has already started!
Melissa is wearing a nice blue dress giving an impression that she is a princess.
Mineta:The main attraction has appeared!
Saito:Well, since everyone is here, let's take the elevator to join the party.
The moment I said this an emergency signal is activated, the windows are locked at the same time.
💠Oh-oh...
Todoroki:My cell phone has no signal. It appears that all communications are being blocked.
Mineta: Really?
Mineta said this starting to get scared of the situation.
Jirou:The elevator isn't working either.
ðŸ’So we're stuck...
Melissa: I don't think the system would switch to full alert mode just because they found an explosive in the tower.
Saito:Iida, I think we'd better go to where the party is being held.
Iida: Why go there?
Izuku:Because All Might is at the party.
This news took the rest of the group by surprise.
Mineta:Ah, then we have nothing to worry about.
Saito: Melissa, can you get us to the party somehow?
Melissa: If we use the emergency stairs, I think we can get closer to the party.
Izuku:Please guide us!
In order to get to the party, we start to enter the emergency stairs with the help of Melissa as a guide. After a while we arrived on the party floor and saw All Might arrested and the rest of the guests hostage.
Jirou uses her Quirk to listen to All Might's message when he noticed me and Izuku upstairs.
All Might said that the villains took over the tower and the security system, taking the guests and heroes hostage, he also said that David and his assistant were captured by the group's leader. With this information, the group decides to discuss the next action on the stairs.
Jirou: We received All Might's message. I suggest that we follow the U.A. professor's instructions. All Might and let's escape this place.
Momo:I agree with Iida-san. We are still students. We can't fight villains without our hero licenses.
ðŸ’What if All Might suffers something serious? Are we going to watch the circus burn?
Kaminari: So what if we escape and tell the heroes outside?
Melissa: I think it will be difficult to escape. This place is built with the same level of security as Tartarus, where criminal villains are kept.
Kaminari:So all we can do is wait until help arrives.....
Jirou hears this and gets up from the ground not liking what Kaminari said.
Jirou:Kaminari, are you okay with this?
Kaminari: What do you mean?
Jirou:Don't you feel like you should go help?
Mineta: Hey, hey, hey! They even caught All Might! There is no way to save them ourselves!
During this conversation I feel pain in my head again, I manage to hide it even though the pain bothers me.
ðŸ’Tch! This is taking away my concentration!
Todoroki: We're trying to become heroes.
Momo:Yes, but we still can't work as heroes....
Todoroki: Does that mean it's okay we don't do anything?
Momo:That's...
Todoroki's words left the group silent without knowing what to do. Suddenly my head starts to hurt even more and certain scenes appear in my mind.
***********
Flashback
Y@ &:Here, Saito-kun. This is Izuku Midoriya. Doesn't he look a lot like you?
Saito: We only have similar hair colors and green eyes, the rest of us are not the same.
Y-$@ and I became best friends after a few days and she always brings mangas for us to read together at snack time.
The first one she showed me was Boku No Hero and she always makes comparisons between me and Izuku.
Y@$##:Don't be negative, Saito-kun! With my special eyes I see that you will be a great hero!
Saito: If this is one of your crazy theories, please go to therapy.
Y@$$@:Hey! I have good instincts, you know?!
Saito: Hmm....
Y$&#:Hey! Don't start acting emo in front of me, no! Hadn't we agreed for you to stop acting like that?
Siato:Stop how?
Y$&#:Be less closed off and smile more, like All Might!
Saito: Impossible.
Y&#@:Heroes make the impossible possible! No matter how difficult it is! And as a future hero my goal is to make you smile!
Saito: You could dream of something more important than a simple smile.
$&#&@ lets out a sigh, but she doesn't lose the determination in her eyes.
&$#: Sometimes I wonder if you really are Tatsumaki's son.....
Saito: I agree with what you said about heroes, they really make the impossible possible, but I don't see the point in me being one...
$&#:You don't need to have a reason. Just having the will to save a person no matter how difficult or how big the barrier is, that already makes you a hero.
************
End of Flashback
*************
ðŸ’What was that?
This memory suddenly came into my head, leaving me very confused, but at the same time I feel happy to have remembered it, no matter how strange it may be.
Saito: If you're not going to do it, then I will. After all, I am a hero!
I say this taking everyone by surprise since they didn't expect my answer.
Mineta:Are you planning to fight the villains?! Didn't you learn anything at USJ, Saito?!
Saito:Do you have a better idea, Mineta? I know everyone is afraid to do something, but you know that no one can help us now. If we leave things the way they are, All Might will lose and the villains will win! We have a chance to turn them around and save everyone, we can't miss this opportunity!
Izuku:My brother is right! We have to save them.
After a quick silence Melissa begins to give important information. She said we have to go to the top floor of the tower so she can reset the security system to free all the hostages and All Might, but to do that we have to avoid getting into combat.
Uraraka: Deku-kun, Saito-san, let's go! I don't want to sit still knowing that we can do something! I think this is more important than whether we are heroes or not.
With what Uraraka said, one by one the rest of the group began to volunteer to help and I had a smile on my face watching it all.
Saito:Okay guys! Let's rescue the heroes and kick the villains' ass!
*********
After telling All Might about what we're going to do, we start climbing the floors of the tower. The problem is that we discovered that the tower has 200 floors, and the security control room is on the top floor.
This didn't stop us from going up, but when we arrived at floor 80 the stairs were blocked, Mineta without thinking ends up opening the door to the floor knowing that it will warn the villains.
Without much of an alternative, we start running around the floor looking for a way to get up. At that moment the corridor begins to be blocked by emergency barriers in front of us and behind us.
Mineta: We're going to be trapped!
Saito:Not if I'm here!
I use my telekinesis and stop the barrier from closing in front of us.
Saito:Iida! There's a closed gate next door, break it so we can get out of here!
Iida: Understood!
Iida runs in front of me and kicked the next gate hard, opening a new path for everyone.
We entered a very large garden where there are several plants, Melissa said that this floor is where scientists do experiments on them.
In the middle of the floor there is an elevator, but Jirou warns that it is going up and that the villains are about to leave, knowing this we hide and wait for the pair of villains to leave.
Melissa said it's not a good idea to use the elevator since the elevator is also controlled by the villains.
Suddenly we see Kirishima and Bakugou encountering the pair of villains, Kirishima said that the two were lost, but the villains didn't believe it and attacked Kirishima who was saved by Todoroki, having created a wall of ice.
Todoroki: Let's buy time here. You guys find a way to get to the top!
Todoroki creates an ice pillar beneath us making us climb to the top of the garden, Iida opens the floor's exit leading to a corridor that has the path blocked.
Mineta: Hey, what are we going to do? We are like rats trapped in a bag!
Kaminari: Is this how far we'll go?
Izuku:Melissa, do you see something that looks like a door on the ceiling of the floor?
Izuku said this pointing to the direction where there is an emergency door on the ceiling.
Melissa:The maintenance room for the solar system!
Iida:Wasn't there supposed to be an emergency staircase?
Melissa: Yes, there is one, but we can only access it from the inside.
Saito:No problem at all.
I say this by flying to the door and forcing it to open with my telekinesis, then I grab the group and make us enter.
Kaminari: You're amazing, Saito!
Momo:That second Quirk of yours is very useful.
Saito: Let's leave the praise for later, we still have several floors to climb.
*********
We arrived on floor 130 and saw that the floor was full of security robots.
Uraraka:The room is full of robots!
Saito: It seems that the villains are prepared to face us, apparently the idea of not entering was in the trash.
Izuku:They must already know that we are students at the U.A academy.
Momo:But in that case, we know what to expect too!
Momo said this by creating a shock blanket covering the group.
Saito:Time for plan B. Are you ready, Kaminari?
Kaminari:Yes! I'll do my best. Bring it on, Saito.
Kaminari said this and I pick him up and throw him into the middle of the room where the robots are, Kaminari uses his power to paralyze the robots, but they are resistant to his strongest shock.
This ends up leaving Kaminari in a state where he can no longer fight or as Jirou calls it "Retarded Mode"
The robots advance towards us and even though Momo and Mineta try to stop the robots from advancing, their attempts are unsuccessful.
Saito:Izuku, with me!
Izuku:Right!
Izuku and I attacked together and destroyed the robots that were blocking our path. We continue to climb, but there are several robots blocking our path, and being fed up with them I decide to put an end to it.
Saito: Tch! Enough of these robots! Bang!
Imitating a shot from a revolver with my hand I use my psychic energy to manipulate the air and use it as a weapon to destroy any enemy in front of me to pieces.
(A/N:This is a reference to Makima from Chainsaw Man. More specifically, the moment Makima kills someone by saying the word "Bang" in front of a certain someone who just wanted to help)
The rest of the group was impressed with my display of power as the robot army was a certain part of the way destroyed with my small shot.
Mineta: Since when can you do that, Saito?!
Saito: Since always. I can manipulate several things since I'm an Esper, air manipulation is just something I don't use much and my psychic energy manipulation is included as well.
Kaminari: Are there any things you can't do with your second Quirk?
💠Losing your virginity and killing a fly are things that my Esper skill cannot solve.....
After that we continue to climb the floors until Melissa takes us to a place that is no longer inside the tower.
Saito:What place is this?
Melissa: It's the wind energy generating system.
Izuku: Why did you bring us here?
Melissa: If we climb the tower, the security machines are probably waiting to ambush us. So, we'll climb to the top in one fell swoop here. If we can get to that emergency exit....
Saito:Alright time to fly.
I say this by starting to fly and I catch Melissa first and then Izuku, but during that another army of robots appear.
Iida: Saito goes ahead, we're going to hold off the robots!
Saito:Are you sure about this?
Jirou: We can manage, go!
With that I, Izuku and Melissa climb to the top of the tower and I punch the wall making us enter the stairs again. We started to climb and had to deal with some villains on the way, but that wasn't a problem for us.
***********
Finally we arrive at the top of the tower, the warehouse room where we will be able to free All Might and the hostages.
We entered in silence as we saw David and his assistant alone in the room with no villain in sight.
After David messes with the main computers, his assistant goes to a safe and takes out a briefcase with a strange device inside, which seems to be of great importance to David.
Sam(assistant's name): Everything is going according to plan, isn't it? Looks like the villains are okay too.
David:Thanks. It was all because you organized it for me, Sam.
💠Wait a minute... what did he say?
This surprised the three of us, but the one who was most affected was Melissa.
Melissa:Daddy...
Melissa said this approaching the duo, taking them both by surprise.
David:Melissa!
Sam:Miss.... What are you doing here?
Melissa:What do you mean by organized? Daddy, don't tell me you're behind this incident? To pay for that device? Is it true, daddy?
David had an expression of regret, but he soon recovered and had a serious expression.
David: Yes.
Saito:What?!
Melissa: Why?
Sam:The professor is just trying to get back what was stolen from him. This groundbreaking invention that mechanically amplifies Quirks...
Saito: So this makes the person with your power stronger?
Sam: Yes, it's still being tested, but with this device, unlike drugs. Individuality can be amplified without affecting the body.
Sam said the research was canceled after the sponsors saw that if the research went public it would change the Quirk system quickly and could cause a lot of problems, so to avoid the worst they cut off the research data and support David needed, forcing him to to stop his goal.
But Sam had the crazy idea of hiring people to pretend to be villains and use the party to capture those responsible for stopping the research and use this as a loophole to get the device back.
Melissa: It can't be... Tell me this is a lie, daddy!
David: It's not a lie.
Melissa:That doesn't make sense! My real Father wouldn't do something like that! Then why?! Why?!
David: It's for All Might.
This caught me and Izuku by surprise. David confesses that his plan is to use the device to bring All Might to his peak again and make him the number 1 Hero again with his powers back and stronger than ever.
But I knew that wouldn't work at all.
ðŸ’All Might is very injured... Even though the device works, it will only be temporary, the worst case scenario is that the device will end up killing All Might since his body is no longer able to withstand One for All.
Suddenly my mind starts to hurt again but this time much stronger compared to the last.
Saito:Damn... Not now....
Izuku:Brother?
During this, David begs his daughter so he can use the device and save All Might, but Melissa argues with her father saying that the villains are not fake and that we had to go through a lot to get to the top of the tower.
David didn't believe it at first, but the leader villain appears, revealing himself to be a real villain with Quirk Magnetism.
He traps me and Izuku in metal bars, but I can't get out due to the pain in my mind.
Saito: Sorry about that, Izuku, I'll leave the rest to you for now.... I can't stay awake.
Izuku:Brother? Brother!!!
With my vision getting bad and my hearing going away, I quickly lose my consciousness.
*************
Ta@&#'s vision
TM: *Sigh*
TM: What an idiot Master.... Sealing your own memories won't solve the problem of your trauma...
TM: Now that you have felt an unknown psychic energy, the seal you placed is weakening more and more, and your real body has lost consciousness...
I say this looking at my master's sealed memories and my tail is agitated because I'm stressed about not being able to do anything to help him.
TM:*Sigh* I wish I could talk to you again and try to ease the pain that you will relive again...I can't say I blame you for doing that to you.
I say this with a sad expression, I want to hug him again to be able to tell him that it's okay and that it wasn't his fault.
TM: Unfortunately, I'm too weak to speak out. I need more time. I just hope this master plan of yours works...
You are betting a lot on the possible chance that the mental state you are in now is enough to withstand the immense pain you felt on that terrible day.
To be continued.....
