Movie: Heroes Rising Pt.3


(Suji's POV)

Darkness. That was all I could see after I passed out, the cold empty darkness filled the air as I struggled to move. I felt constricted in place, my body won't budge as if something wasn't allowing me to do anything.

I shift around, trying to free myself from whatever was holding me down. When suddenly, the darkness shattered around me as I was now standing up off the ground. Looking around I saw that I was standing on a hard floor which looked like concrete, and the sky was nothing but grayish black fog with different colors flowing throughout it.

Suji: W-where.... where am I?

I take a step as the fog seemed to flow from my body as well, almost like the steam that my quirk produces. It felt like it was trying to restrict me like before, but it couldn't stop me.

Suji: Hello, is anyone out there? Izuku? Izumi? Bakugo? Are you guys alright?

I take a few steps back as I looked around, the area was a void. It was empty but yet I felt like this feeling was familiar. After taking a few steps back I bumped into something, turning around I came face to face with a weird form of energy which looked like a rough outline of a man.

Suji: W-who are you?

The misty figure just stood there silent as the wind started to pick up, I could only look at him as I began to recognize his familiar hair style.

Suji: All Might? How are you here?

No response. The foggy All Might just stood in place as I waved my hand in front of his face.

Suji: Uh, hello? Can you even see me right now?

???: He won't respond. He's not fully in this plain of existence yet.

I hear a new voice from behind me as I turned around to see another figure being made from the mist. The mist rolled off what appeared to be a beautiful woman with black hair with a small messy ponytail in the back kneeling on the ground. She was wearing a cape and looked like she was a hero, but I didn't recognize her from anywhere.

???: I understand your confusion. This place can do that to people the first time.

Suji: Is that so? Oh, manners. I'm Suji Kyoryoku, who are you ma'am?

Nana: My name is Nana Shimura. I am the Seventh wielder of One For All.

One For All? What does this mean? Wait, if she had it before All Might than she must be All Might's teacher. But I've never met her all, does that mean...

Suji: You said that the fog version of All Might won't respond because he's not in this "plain of existence" yet... Does that mean, I'm dead?

Nana's eyes widened slightly seemingly surprised by my remark. A soft smile rested on her face as she approached me.

Nana: No, Kyoryoku. You are not dead. This is merely a mental visual plain, which hosts the vestiges of the quirk.

Suji: You mean...?

Nana: Yes, young man. This is One For All.

She was now right infront of me as I felt the area around me change. I take a step as the mist continues to flow over me, as Nana stands next to me.

Nana: I'm not exactly sure that I'm the one who can give you all the answers but let us take a walk.

Suji: Sure...

We walk throughout the void as it felt like nothing has changed, other than our footsteps it was silent.

Suji: I remember your name, from what All For One said about you being Tomura Shigaraki's grandmother.

Nana looked down and nodded slowly, the look on her face was filled with sadness.

Nana: When I had One For All, I didn't want to endanger my family... So I put my son in a foster home, but I suppose he hated me entirely for that. I kept tabs on him incase I managed to defeat All For One, but it sadly didn't happen.

Suji: Clearly, your son didn't realize how much it hurt you to give him away.

Nana's eyes widened upon hearing this as she lowered her head with her bangs covering her eyes. I quickly realize that I might've said something that upset her so I quickly try to apologize.

Suji: Uh! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to sound rude! It's just that I think what you did shows how much you cared....!

Nana: Tenko...

Suji: Huh?

Nana: That was Tomura Shigaraki's original name. Tenko Shimura.

It felt like we've been walking for a while now as I continue to find the right words to say, but Nana beat me to it.

Nana: Do you believe that if I hadn't given my son away.... that Tenko wouldn't have ended up the way he is now?

Suji: Honesty, I don't believe that you were to blame for any of that. You weren't the one who turned Shigaraki/Tenko to a life of crime, if anything it's all because of All For One.

Nana: I still believe that things could've been different. I could've let my son stay and continue to raise him, but I was worried that that monster would get to him to get to me.

Suji: Well, I guess in some way he did. Because he managed to get to Tenko when he was at a vulnerable state. Sorry, I don't mean to put my two sense in, it's just you shouldn't blame yourself for trying to protect the ones you love.

Nana stepped ahead of me as she turned her head to reveal a warm smile with teary eyes and a relaxed expression.

Nana: You don't have to apologize for that, Kyoryoku. I hope you'll be able to protect the loved ones in your live better than I did. See you soon.

Suddenly a wave of mist came out of nowhere, and swallowed Nana who was giving me the thumbs-up. The mist flooded over me as the colors shifted into a red throughout the fog. The mist dispersed as I was now alone in the void again.

Suji: Huh, that was a nice chat... Now where do I go?

???: Hey! Step it up, boy! Your times running short!

I turned around again to see an angry bald man with goggles stomping towards me.

Suji: Uh, hello? I'm Suji Kyoryoku....

Banjo: Daigoro Banjo! Fifth wielder of One For All. I know who you are kid, I've been waiting to have a word with ya!

Suji: Uh, okay? So, what do you want to talk about....?

I quickly got a punch to the top of my head, which didn't hurt but I assume it meant he wasn't done talking yet.

Banjo: Listen kid, you've got a lot to learn but I ain't the one to teach ya! C'mon and follow me, things are gonna get tricky.

As he said that the area began to shift and change as the ground began to rise up into different platforms and pillars. He raised his arm out as several weird tendrils shot out and attached to one of the pillars, leaping off of the current platform we were on and started swinging.

Banjo: Keep up will ya?!

I looked around as I activated my quirk, immediately shifting to Heavy Muscle Impact. I jump off of the platform as Banjo and I leap and swing between each pillar following each other's movements.

Banjo: Say, that's some pretty good maneuvering kid! I can only imagine what you or that kid could do with my Black Whip!

Suji: Huh, Black Whip?

Banjo didn't elaborate on what he said as the image of him disappeared similar to Nana, but as soon as he disappeared the pillars started to break behind me. I quickly leaped off of the one I was currently on as I rush to the end which looked like a large cliff. The pillars were breaking as I had a few close calls, but I was able to make it to the last platform ready to jump for the cliff. But unfortunately, I wasn't able to account that the pillar was already going to break so upon leaping off, I barely had enough force to propel myself to the cliffside.

Suji: O-oh, crap baskets!!

I felt my second form disappear as I had almost reached the edge of the cliff but was not able to grab it. I slowly began to fall into what looked to be an abyss but I felt someone had caught me grabbing me by the hand. I look up and see a man with orangish red hair and a scar between his eyes.

???: You should be more careful in here. Wouldn't want you to leave before he had a chance to talk to you.

The man pulled me up onto the cliff as I looked around again, the void kept changing with every person I meet. So that must mean....

Suji: I take it your another wielder of One For All?

2nd: You're smarter than you look. You can call me 2nd.

Suji: Well, 2nd, mind telling me what all of this is about? It's nice to meet all of you but I have friends I need to check on.

2nd: Your friends should be alright. But if you really want to know what's going on....

He pointed his finger up into the air as I followed his finger to see what looks to me a floating room, with a broken wall and ceiling.

2nd: You want answers? That's where you'll find them.

Suji: Thanks. Hm? Have any idea how I get up there?

The 2nd didn't respond, instead he grabbed me by the arm and started to spin me around at an incredible speed before tossing me up towards the room. I manage to grab the edge of the concrete, with enough strength to pull myself up. I look around once more as saw that the room was bigger than I thought, as it had eight throne-like chairs. With only one of them being used by a man with long white hair covering one eye and wearing a baggy long-sleeved shirt.

???: Hello, I apologize for the long wait. I just hope we have enough time to discuss the situation. I probably should introduce myself, my name is Yoichi...

Suji: ....The first user.

Yoichi: Correct. Would you like to sit down? Any chair will be alright.

I look at the chairs as I sit down at one random seat. I stare at the first as he shifts a bit before speaking.

Yoichi: We've been watching you, through the ninth. And I have to say that you are an extraordinary person, and you were given something most powerful.

Suji: It sounds like I've been given a blessing, but I can't forget that it took a dream from my best friend.

I look at my hand as I clenched it tight.

Yoichi: Well, yeah, I suppose you can look at it like that... But that's not the full truth.

Suji: What... What do you mean?

Yoichi: One For All has been passed down from different generations, building up large amounts of energy from each and every user. The longer the user wields the quirk, the most power it holds. The quirk is amazing but it comes with a terrible drawback.

I raise my eyebrow as I look at him.

Yoichi: I suppose I should elaborate. One For All takes a toll on the body, but it's worse for someone who has a quirk. Because of how many people and years the quirk has grown, if someone were to receive this quirk even if their bodies are physically capable like yours... It will eventually kill them.

Suji: So... What are you saying?

Yoichi: The only way One For All can continue is by having a user who doesn't have a quirk. Only a Quirkless person can hold the quirk now.

My eyes widened upon realization as I look at the first with surprise.

Suji: That means....

Yoichi: Yes...

Yoichi: ....Izuku Midoriya will be the last user of One For All.

I smiled as I heard this news. But before I could celebrate, I jumped out of my seat and spoke up.

Suji: You can do something right? This is Izuku's gift, I can't just take his dream from him. He needs it way more than me, so please, give it back to Izuku.

Yoichi smiles as he holds his hand out for me.

Yoichi: I was already intending to do so. You really are an amazing person to obtain One For All for such a short time. Being able to withstand 100% right from the start was an amazing feat, let alone being able to move freely in this void. I will take the quirk back, and give it back to Izuku Midoriya... Take my hand.

I walk over and without hesitation I grabbed onto his hand as I felt the power of the quirk escaping my body as the mist started to form around me. In my last vision of the place, I saw all of the past users smiling at me as I fade out of the vestiges world.

Suji: "Izuku... This is your quirk, your destiny... And I will gladly give it back to it's rightful wielder.

-Timeskip-

After I woke back up I felt strained, maybe it was a drawback from One For All but luckily my bones weren't broken like Izuku's. Shortly after Nine's defeat the heroes and the army arrived and helped the rest of the students who were injured.

Bakugo ended up needing medical treatment after taking that hit for Izumi, who didn't remember anything after getting hit with Nine's attack. The rest of the recovery went well as Izuku got One For All back and the remaining three villains were apprehended, although Nine was never found.

Later, Katsuma and Mahoro were reunited with their father, who had been in a hospital on the mainland. We were able to protect everyone on the island, but there was still tons of damage. And it would take time to repair. The Heroes Public Safety Commission immediately suspended our practical program. But we stayed the rest of our scheduled time.

All of us wanted to help the island get back to normal. We couldn't just leave.
Not when people needed us. And then, finally, it was time for us to go home.

Kaminari: Shouldn't we, like, say something before we leave?

Ashido: I know, right? But we wouldn't want to interrupt the recovery efforts.

Kaminari: Well, I guess this is cooler.

Kirishima: Yeah, it's pretty hero-like.

Izuku and I were walking over to where Bakugo and Izumi were on the boat.

Izuzu: I can't believe it's time
for us to go already.

Bakugo: Eh, good riddance.

Suji: Aw, don't act like you didn't like this place.

Bakugo: Shut up!... So you two are really gonna leave without saying goodbye to those kids?

Izumi: Yeah, what's up with that?

Izuku: There are things I wanted to say, yeah. But it's okay. I'm sure they already
know how I feel.

Suddenly we heard someone calling out to us and saw Katsuma and Mahoro running on the docks waving at us.

Katsuma: Hey! Down here! Mister Deku!
Bakugo! Muscle-Bound! Everyone! Thank you so much!

Mahoro: You saved us! You saved the whole island!

Katsuma: I'll get stronger. I promise you, I will! I'll get strong enough to protect Daddy and Mahoro! Wait and see! And then... I'll be a cool hero like you and Muscle-Bound. One who always wins in a battle no matter the odds.

Bakugo: You better work hard, ya damn brat.

Suji: Don't you forget it.

Izuku: Hey, Katsuma! Listen! You can become a hero! I'll see you at UA one day!

The boat ships away we continue to wave goodbye to Nabu Island, Izumi grabs my arm and holds onto me tightly as our class adventure comes to an end. It truly was a happy ending, the villains were defeated, Izuku kept his quirk, and a child still has a dream he can hold onto.

_________________________________________

(Hello readers and thank you for reading. We've reached the end of the second movie and ended on a happy ending. Izuku got his quirk back and Suji got to meet not one but almost all of the vestiges, I didn't have him meet the third, fourth, or sixth mainly due to not really having anything that I could do with them.)

(Season 5 is coming up but in the meantime, I will be publishing new chapters of RWBY Elemental Forces and getting Season 2 of Ben 10 started after I get a few pieces of artwork done.)

-Until next time...
