Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: The Cavalry is Here

-11 Years Later- 

"Thanks for the cut, G!"

"Come back anytime, stay safe out there!"

"Will do!"

Stepping outside of the barbershop was now a 15-year old, Yuki Aoi. He was wearing the freshest of fits he could get his hands on, consisting of red shoes, black-slim pants, an inner white t-shirt with a dark blue sleeveless jacket. 

Looking at his branded watch, on his left wrist, Yuki's smile beamed. "Hehehe." 

Besides the weapons, objects, and characters he received from opening cube packs and from the missions, It felt so odd having such a stack of money given by the System for all these years. It kept piling up and up, and now seeing the many zeros, Yuki could die happily. 

Now that he has such an amount, he can buy whatever he wants whenever he wants! 

Of course, he has to be careful with his spending, or his parents will start wondering where he got all this money from...

Seeing his reflection from his watch, Yuki ran a hand through his hair. Yup, gone was the spiky haired boy of the past, in his place was now the bowl-haircut! At least, the ends of his hair still retain a bit of spike popping out over here and there.

"With this, now I look like the latest version of Toge Inumaki." Yuki grinned.

Swinging his backpack behind him, Yuki whistled as he strolled through the street, passing by the many people that were out during the day. 

His eyes locked onto the variety of people whose quirks affected their physical appearance. 

All these years and it's still amazing. 

Yuki smiled.

Yuki: ("I know you guys know how I look, but seriously, how do I look? Is it good?") 

Although he was extremely satisfied, but he still wanted to get a second opinion, even though, err, it was from himself to.

Not a second later, Yuki's smile collapsed as voices from several characters that he possessed, answered back. 

Momo: ("Justin Bieber lookin' ass.")

Mahito: ("Ah yes, the perfect shape I've been searching for!")

Hanami: ("You belong to a mushroom garden. Literally and spiritually.")

Takako: ("Hn. More like the bottom of a traffic cone if you asked me. Traffic cone looking ass.") 

Yuki's eyes twitched. A part of him knew what they would say, but it's still annoying to listen to. 

And then his lips curved upwards when positive comments finally appeared. 

Riko: ("Looks fine to me!")

Takada: ("Looks super amazing and handsome! I love it!")

Ijichi: ("U-Um. It does look exceptional…")

Kokichi: ("Whatever floats your boat, I guess.")

Yuki: ("Thanks you guys for the love and suppo-")

Ijichi: ("Though, not something I would recommend to someone if they're looking for a good haircut…")

Yuki: ("...")

The other clones 'oohed' at this, even the ones who were on his side!!! 

Bastards. Alright, he's pissed off. Even though he knew they were just copies of himself, he was still pissed!

Nobody talks crap to him except for himse- wait, ah… ah shit, forget about it. 

It was at this moment that Yuki's phone started to ring. 

Picking it up, he answered in an annoyed tone. 

"What is it?"

And then his ear was nearly blasted when two people started yelling through the call. By the end of it, Yuki's eyebrows lifted in surprise.

"Huh, Katsuki's being attacked?!" 

Answering, Tsubasa's voice was filled with panic. 

…o0o…

On the other side, holding his cellphone, the boy was looking at the tv in shock as the news was being broadcasted. "H-He's been attacked by some goo villain an- oh shit, oh shit, is that, OH SHIT! What the hell! Izuku just ran from the crowd and is charging in!"

Tsubasa's quirkless classmate ran past the protection line that the heroes and the police set up, and was charging straight into the burning alley with no hesitation, heading straight towards the villain!

Is he insane! He doesn't even have a quirk! What the hell was he doing?!

"Tsubasa! I called Momo! She said she's heading there right now! We should hurry up and meet up with her there!" Kirito ran back into the room with shaking hands. 

"What?" Tsubasa turned to his friend with wide eyes. "She's goin- We're going?! What the hell are we gonna-?!"

On speakerphone, Yuki's voice came out. "Tsubasa, Kirito's right! Katsuki's our friend, and now that Izuku is in the mix, it's gonna get even more dangerous for them! Are we really just going to sit around on the side as our friends get hurt?!"

Tsubasa flinched at the question. "B-But!"

"Come on, man!" Kirito slapped Tsubasa on the shoulder, making the teen turn around to face him. "They're our friends! Screw the law, and look, the heroes over there are literally standing around and doing nothing at all!"

Kirito stared straight into Tsubasa's eyes. "Tsubasa!"

"Ah, ah-" Tsubasa gritted his teeth, "Fuck it! Let's rescue their dumb asses!"

"That's the spirit! Tsubasa, Momo should be there soon at the location with her quirk. Use your own quirk and start flying over there! Bring Kirito with you, but when you get there just stay hovering in the sky, and don't run over there on the ground or the heroes will definitely stop you! Once I get there, we'll drop this guy's ass from above!"

"G-Got it!" Tsubasa hanged up and he looked towards Kirito. "Ready?!"

Kirito smirked, shaky, and nervous, but he still decided to smirk in this situation. "Ready as I'll ever be!" 

The two rushed out of Tsubasa's house, not a second to lose, large wings sprouted from Tsubasa's back. 

Tsubasa grabbed Kirito and started flapping his wings, and then flew into the sky!

…o0o…

[New Quest: Save Katsuki Bakugo and Izuku Midoriya and beat the villain. Reward: A new setting in the System will be unlocked]

Yuki's eyebrows raised. A new setting? This whole time it was just doing missions, earning packs, or just the training grounds in general. 

What could the new functions be?

Yuki then looked up, and grinned. Here was his ride! 

He lifted his arm up, and then he was suddenly pulled off the ground by a speeding Momo. 

Momo threw Yuki behind her on her broom, piercing through the air through her cursed technique. "So it's finally here. The 1st episode of My Hero Academia!" she shouted as her voice rippled in the air. 

"Darn right, I've been waiting for this for a long time!" Yuki shouted, holding tightly onto the back of the broom. His heart was pounding with excitement. 

"Uh, I think you mean, 'We've', been waiting for this!"

"Is this the time to argue! You are me and I am you!"

"Tch. You are so not cute!"

"I think that character card is affecting your mindset-"

"Shut up, we're almost there!"

...o0o...

At the scene now, it was chaotic. The alley looked like some scene from a movie, with flames licking at the walls, smoke swirling in the air, and the people were in a riot!

Several Heroes were seen, scrambling with the police to rescue the citizens, and the more capable ones tried to rescue Katsuki, only to fail when their blunt attacks weren't even causing any damage!

Helpless, they stood at the side, watching this scene with sweat on their faces, formed from the heat in the place, and the worry that the villain would do something to the captive!

And to many Heroes, the Police, and even the people on the sidelines, they were thrown in shock as a boy with green hair rushed from the crowd and into the alley!

"Kid, no!" A Hero yelled with an arm raised. 

"You, idiot, stop! You're going to get yourself killed!" Death Arms, a Pro Hero, yelled in shock. He turned his anger to the police. "What the hell are you guys doing, make sure nobody else passes the line!"

The crowd, seeing this panicked, as screams for the kid to come back filled the air. 

"W-What the hell is he doing?!"

"Somebody stop him!"

"Kid! Come back, leave it to the heroes!"

...o0o...

Taking the fastest route through the air, Momo and Yuki arrived. 

Their eyes analyzed the situation, before locking onto a certain individual who was grabbing his stomach in pain with hesitation and shock written on his face.

"Momo, Yuki!"

Hearing this, the two looked at each other and then flew over to meet Tsubasa and Kirito. 

…o0o…

"Deku! What the hell do you think-" Katsuki struggled in the sludge with gritted teeth, trying to force his muscles to move through this bastard. "Get away from here!"

Katsuki's eyes widened as the Villain swung a tentacle made up of sludge in Izuku's direction. 

"You're gonna get yourself killed, Izukuuuu!" Katsuki roared in anger!

Move, Move! A vein bulged from Katsuki's forehead, desperately trying to move, or at least interrupt the villain from attacking that loser!

Seeing the incoming attack, Izuku was shaking horribly, but upon hearing Kacchan say his name with worry, his legs started moving again! 

Even he didn't know why at first, why his legs started moving on their own, but, but!

The only thing that was on his mind at that moment, was wanting to save kacchan, his friend! In his mind, the will to save overclocked any fear that he had at that second! 

With a turn, Izuku hopped to the side, just barely avoiding the attack as it slammed into the place he was just standing a moment ago, sending cracks forming onto the ground.

No doubt, if such an attack were to… but Izuku's focus was elsewhere! 

Izuku then threw his backpack, as it hit the Villain in the eyes, causing him to reel back with a flinch. 

In the blink of an eye, Izuku launched himself at the place where Katsuki was trapped in, and started trying to claw through the sludge!

Seeing all of this, Katsuki's pupils dilated as he saw tears falling from Deku's scared eyes. 

What the hell…

"Kacchan!" Izuku's scared smile was reflected from his pupils. "I-I'll save you! I can't… just can't… I COULDN'T JUST STAND THERE AND WATCH YOU DIE!"

Izuku clawed crazily, removing as much sludge as he could at his speed, "HOLD ON! I'LL GET YOU OUT, I PROMISE!"

What the hell am I! Katsuki started struggling even more fiercely than before. "You walking pile of shitty waste! Get the hell off of meeeee!"

And it was in that second that screams came from the crowd. 

"Look up there in the sky!"

"It's a bird, It's a plane, no…" an office worker looked up, followed by the crowd's eyes. 

In the crowd, All Might looked up and gaped. 

The Heroes, the police, the civilians, even the camera from the reporter was facing in that direction!

"It's… a bunch of kids!" the office worker cried out in shock. 

"RAAAAAAAAAAGH!" the combined scream sounded in the area from above. 

The Sludge Villain, who was about to attack Izuku, stopped. Thinking that the Heroes were going to launch a surprise attack, he turned his head towards the sky only to be shocked when he saw a couple of kids coming at him from above! 

With some effort, Katsuki finally managed to look up, the first thing he noticed was a certain angry witch on a broom. 

"M-Momo!" and not just her, alongside her was-!

Izuku stared into the sky in disbelief, "Tsubasa, Kirito, Momo, and… Yuki!"

Rushing from above, Tsubasa started cursing Katsuki. "Katsuki, you freaking loser! I can't believe you were caught like this!"

In Tsubasa's arms during the dive, Kirito's face was slightly pushed back from the pressure of the wind, "Izuuuukuuuu! Katsuuuki! We're here to save you!"

Diving with cursed energy, Momo's twin-tails flowed backwards, an angry scowl on her face as she gripped onto her broom. "Just what the hell do you think you're doing to my cute exploding junior!!!"

Falling with style, Yuki pulled down his collar. 

Snake eyes on his cheeks~ Fangs on his tongue~! Yuki Aoi looked down below with a smirk.

And said-!

"Don't worry! The Cavalry has come!" 

And then, all hell broke loose!
