"Yoshi, Sir, I have reason to believe Denki has been bluffing in terms of his quirk control test, as it hasn't changed for over a year and a half by now."
His right-hand man was alright skeptical, but recently it seemed the quirk control's whole purpose comes into question, as both Sanemi, Toguru, and now Denki might be ready for an average life.
"We can't for a while, as orphanages refuse both Sanemi for his detailed temperament and 'incident' which, while Toguru could refuse and even fight violently to seem crazy."
As Yoshi could only frown as his attempts were always refused by multiple orphanages, even Naomasa couldn't get any of his more viable kids accepted, as he sighed.
"I understand, Sir, but that teeth boy is growing more unstable, even lashing at Ibari, who has only prayed for him... I think he is insa-"
With a gesture by Yoshi, the man paused, waiting for Yoshi to speak.
"I fear, I agree. Jails want him, police want to quarantine him, and even the kids here, including Sanemi, feel danger when standing next to him... Yet he is only 14, how could I do such a thing?"
The worker placed his hand on Yoshi's now uneasy shoulder as he hoped things would change, as the past year had been rejection after rejection, as if this batch of kids were viewed as too problematic.
But nothing changed from there, starting 20 years back.
"My cousin would've figured a plan out already, while I just sit here with empty plans and just waiting; he won't even call me anymore. Saki, I need to think."
The worker now known as Saki walked away, but couldn't help but peer at the strained relationship heroes had with the QCF; Even Yoshi's cousin, the principal of UA, hated the QCF. He closed the door, leaving Yoshi in thought.
'If I were still drunk, I would get wasted right now'
He clenched his fist, just hoping things would get better.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The three boys lay in a dust cloud as they had just gotten done with shark tag, and they had ten minutes left of recess.
"Toguru, Denki, you know, I never thought I could be this happy in a long time, I. I am truly happy."
They all had a smile as bliss and peace of mind washed over Sanemi, that life is okay, he will forever live with the guilt of murder, but he is accepting it more now.
"We know, cause me, of course."
As Toguru proudly claimed
"Well, I was zapping y'all's brains rewiring the happy chemical."
Denki let out a spark with his hand.
"Like hell, your quirk affects your brain more than ours anyway."
While Denki let out a 'it does not' but didn't protest as he had such vivid memories agreeing that maybe he, himself, takes the most damage somehow.
"To be fair, your control over your quirk is so much better. The most you've been out was 2 hours, and that's when you go overboard."
Sanemi quipped as he was kind of proud of Denki going from last place to mild control of his quirk now.
"Yeah, I remember the moment you let your quirk loose, it was done when you couldn't keep it up, but you can go from low, high, and mid at a whim now..."
"It couldn't have been done without y'all, though, Sanemi especially, he is the first to suggest using my quirk when the quirk suppressors are at max to feel how the flow works better."
With time remaining on the clock, Toguru looks at both Sanemi and Denki, knowing they have more potential for growth.
Back then, his quick mastery was light-years ahead as a mutant; a quirk like his was easy to build upon, but the past year, his growth has been stagnant while Sanemi and Denki rise to new heights.
While Denki often shows his improvement to only the two of them, Sanemi already had great mastery of his quirk, almost as if wind was his natural quirk, and while wind still burst around him when he got mad, it was rare he ever did.
but his strength is increasing and when he asked how...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 months ago...
Toguru and Denki lay defeated as Sanemi, without even using his quirk, destroyed them, and while Denki was able to use his quirk better now and Toguru was still considered the physical specimen, coupled with his quirk.
When they chased him, Sanemi was so much faster in such a way that it was impossible for them in such a small time frame, but this burst of speed often lasted a few seconds. But with the match over and recess almost over, Toguru's curiosity was piqued, so he asked,
"How are you able to go so fast all of a sudden?"
Denki yelled 'Same', as both looked skeptical at such improvements. They knew Sanemi didn't explain almost anything he did, so they expected a non-answer, but I guess today was different.
"I thought you were never going to ask."
As he smiled a distant, reminiscing smile,
"You know I had 2 other younger brothers and 1 sister, so my sister had a breathing quirk and it allowed her to be almost ten times stronger than me and my other brothers."
Sanemi moved wind as he resumed.
"She could breathe and manipulate wind inside her own body, which somehow made her so much stronger. I am trying to copy this as the doctor stated all my brother's quirk can be replicated with mine... Besides my brother Genya, his quirk isn't related to wind or any to my knowledge."
Toguru and Denki looked confused still,
"Soooooo..."
Both said, not really understanding what he said, Sanemi let out a sigh.
'These guys can act so dumb sometimes,'
"All in all, I can manipulate the wind that I breathe and circulate it in a pattern that strengthens the blood flow and heat of my body, pushing previous physical limits much higher than normal."
Toguru pondered; he had actually never heard Sanemi talk about his old life or even his family, so hearing that he had so many siblings, he questioned.
"What is Genya's quirk?"
Sanemi knew this could be a question.
"he'll tell you when you see him, I believe he wants to be a hero like y'all anyways."
Denki also wondered if he knew Toguru didn't go to the family play area, but he hadn't even seen Sanemi's parents or heard any of his family until now, where he has THREE other siblings,
"Sanemi, why don't your parents meet you or send any letters? The desk ladies at the mail said she had never seen your family name on any of the papers."
Sanemi now had an edge to him, almost like bad memories brought into reality. The memories he was able to repress for a while were brought to life vividly in front of his eyes.
"They're dead, I... killed them."
Sanemi looked at his own hands while both Toguru and Denki were shocked as he killed them. Was he a vil? They know he wasn't, but for a brief moment, they were going to call him a villain, but they knew him for so long now he couldn't be.
"at least you ha-"
Sanemi's eyes bulged as wind erupted violently as both Toguru and Denki were pushed back with a light cut on Denki's cheek, and he scraped his knee as he skidded, while Toguru had hard skin, so he took no damage.
"DON'T EVEN FINISH THAT!, I HAVE NOTHING!!!"
Sanemi said mainly out of flash anger, as his mind was better, but the memories of his family hurt but to say he 'at least' had anything mad him swell with anger.
He stormed off as Toguru rushed behind him again, while Denki, seeing Sanemi in true anger for the first time, and the fear he felt for Sanemi as he touched the blood tracing down his cheek was immense as he stood.
It would take two months for Denki to see him in the semi-normal light again, but no mention of Sanemi's old life was made after that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Present...Nowadays, it seems like he is falling behind the two, but Yoshi, the site leader, helped him in ways he hadn't thought like martial arts.
He told me that Pro Hero Aizawa had no powers besides his eyes, but he often fought people quirkless, and with his body, he can become even better than Aizawa.
This was working, but its potential was far greater.
"Guys, we all got to split up soon, ya know."
Denki sat up quickly, shooting up sand everywhere as both Toguru and Sanemi spat some out,
"Why are we going to the same school, right? right?"
Sanemi wasn't sure why they had to split up, but Toguru answered his questions and Sanemi's brewing question at once.
"Yoshi said he is about to sign a lot of kids off to different orphanages, and they were included besides."
Denki pointed at himself, nodding with Sanemi about to speak, but with a finger, Toguru added,
"Denki's family is growing impatient with Denki coming back home... Yoshi told me that they know Denki is hiding his growth, and will be with his family, Sanemi will be moved to Hosu, and I will go to Mustafu, opposite ends of Denki, I'm afraid..."
"None of our schools are closed, but I'll be with Ibari, which is surprising to say the least."
Denki had a heartbroken expression, with Toguru and Sanemi knowing why Denki was saddened.
"But why can't I be with Ibari? We were meant to beeeee,"Sanemi smacked the back of his head,
"You got it wrong, you haven't heard her speak to anyone but that teeth guy, why would she be meant for you?"
Denki crest fallen, replies,"
"Well, when we go to UA, we will see each other anyway, right guys, future number 1, 2, and 3 pro heroes."
Toguru put his hand on his chest, standing to his full height.
"Yes, and I will be in the number 1 spot, of course."
"You will not,"
Denki contested, they bickered with each other as recess ended, and they split their ways as Yoshi wasn't there to take them to their room.
"You know I don't think they teach enough real-world subjects for us to pass U.A.; we need a near-perfect score to pass the written exam with flying colors."
Sanemi wasn't planning on becoming a hero, but thinking about it, they were learning a grade behind what they should have, and this is probably why only two kids who came from the QCF went to U.A.
"It's probably to get rid of many poor or low-quality students, but I don't care much about math and shit, so going to any real hero school just ain't for me."
Toguru always wondered why, when hero schools were brought up, he always brought them up but put himself down; maybe something to do with what brought him here, and his family.
"Well, when I become a hero, I'll let you join my agency, no matter if they like it or not."
Pumping his fist in the air, he hit the door frame as metal connected with his hard skin, but it didn't help as he held his hand in pain as Sanemi called him a 'dumbass.'
"Aint that illegal, I can't just become a hero like that."
Toguru regaining his posture
"Not in my book, so I'll just change the laws myself as the number 1 mutant hero."
Sanemi can only look in pride. Toguru really is a good person, but to think of how far all three of them have come kind of makes you think what if he became a hero.
'It wouldn't be too bad.'
"Ayy, I might go to sleep early, alright."
Toguru looked with slight confusion,
"We still have 3 hours before bedtime, and the TV will only be on for two hours tonight."
Sanemi just rolled into his sheets,
"I'm tired as hell, remember how tiring that breathing thing is? I kind of went overboard with it today."
Toguru nodded repeatedly
"Well, I'll brush up on the recent hero outing today then."
Toguru typically did this alone anyway, so he wasn't worried.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blaring lights and the sound of screaming and pleading by a young girl as blood filled the walls
"MOONFISH STOPPPPPPP!!!"
can be heard by a girl with vines on her head as she tries to hold the teeth boy with her quirk, but they only come out as tiny straps that the boy just walks through, as another worker is killed.
The doors can be heard opening as all the doors to the QCF are opened, including the kids' doors.
Toguru was scared as red lights surrounded everything and screams could be heard, so he went to wake Sanemi up as he started to awake.
"What the shit is happening?"
With Toguru shivering
"I don-"
He stops as the two see the door open with the sight of blood, and seeing the man known as Moonfish (due to Ibari using it all the time when referring to the teeth boy), Sanemi gritted his teeth. He told that naive bastard he was a problem.
"Toguru, make me a blade."
Sanemi grabbed an extra pair of their jumpsuit as Yoshi appeared.
"KIDS RUN AS I RESTRAIN HIM!"
Yoshi stood tall as his full hybrid genes showed with the lion's mane on fire, and the bat face screamed as workers and Yoshi fought moonfish, but he was much stronger than they thought for his age.
"We should leave Sanemi, like he said."
The look on Sanemi's face was the scariest he's ever seen; even the psychotic look on Moonfish was not comparable to this look of pure hatred and manic rage.
"make. the. blade."
He made a thin blade from his shoulder. Sanemi broke the piece off himself, wrapping the blade as the work turned, fewer and fewer teeth quirk was much stronger than their low-level quirk.
Yoshi had one of his legs severed, but flew away from another array of tentacles. The girl was losing strength trying to hold Moonfish back and eventually fainted from exhaustion and trauma.
Now Sanemi's blade lay firm in his hand as he held the cloth with the blade with barely contained rage. He said
"Find Denki and hide if I don't make it; at least you two will have a person like me who causes these events everywhere I go."
He saw the reflection of the blade still appearing as the same boy in the blade's reflection,
"I never changed, not even my fate changed."
As wind exploded, and Yoshi was cut almost everywhere, when he saw Sanemi appear to his side, He was glad he removed these boys' quirk suppressors, but this was too dangerous. His body was failing him now, and he couldn't dodge the next attacks if it went any longer.
" Sanemi...."
He had seen that look before; there is no talking to a person in this mode, even allmight wouldn't convince the boy to stop, so he stood and knew he might have to go plus ultra.
"I'm sorry, Sanemi."
Teeth shot out and in a tiny hallway; this quirk is even powerful. Sanemi is shocked as this speed is too fast, so he breaths trying to regain composure, as he has never used a sword, so he blocked, but another teeth would cut his chest.
Yoshi leaping in a straight line, heat from his mane melting his teeth as he burns moonfish's cheek now on the opposite side of moonfish as a worker grabbed Ibaris' body, dashing off, but moonfish attacks now severed, attacking both at once
With Yoshi, he burns many but slips as the amount of blood he lost is too much right now, but a massive amount of teeth blades go towards Sanemi.
Sanemi held the blade up as he saw the crazed look on the villain's face, and too many workers headed his way when Yoshi grabbed him, skidding across the floor as they landed inside his room.
He knows how bad the situation is, but the blood loss is too great as he is out cold to Sanemi, he is dead, and a crazy villain walks up, teeth jarring as if taunting him, knowing he is in a small room and is at a major disadvantage, he thinks."
'I have to focus, I have to win, I must kill this villain'
His breath reached a calm chaotic storm as he used wind to move himself faster to dodge attacks, and wind enveloped his entire being as he looked at the incoming teeth.
All the teeth were cut in an instant, and he aimed to plunge the blade into his heart, but the teeth came out again, blocking the strike, and he used the wind to slash the neck of the villain, but it was shallow.
The villain screamed, teeth coming out everywhere where leaving gashes all over Sanemi's body, but he could only laugh at the villain's anger as he cut his own arm.
"You think a little scratch is going to stop me."
As he sent a massive burst of slashes with the villain blocked some, but was cut as Sanemi is taking over his breathing hitches, and he coughs up blood as his eyes bleed, kneeling.
'My limit was 20 seconds without using my quirk externally... It's been. 4 minutes.'
He got up, but the teeth were speeding towards him as he was about to die, but he heard.
"We're here, bro."
As hundreds of blades block the teeth with denki, picking up Sanemi.
"LEAVE THIS TO THE MANTIS KING."
Toguru twirled faster and faster, destroying every tooth as he approached the villain he had actually never been able to apply his sharpest blades and at this amount and velocity, he might be in both hell and heaven.
"I have to help."
Sanemi sat up, and Denki knew they needed all the help they could get, as the workers said there had been mass villain attacks tonight, so the heroes were held up at the moment.
"I'll help too." Denki lightly shocked Sanemi, kind of helping him recover with a bit more vitality
Sanemi dashed back into the fray just as Toguru knocked most of the villain's teeth aside, slicing at the villain's eyes, resulting in screams. Suddenly, tendrils lashed out again, dicing everything near them. With Sanemi closest to the attack, he was nearly struck by a wave of tendrils.
Toguru knew his body was durable, but
'Sanemi was nowhere near like him; he would die, but I could di-, no, I must save him even at the cost of my life,'
He remembered past moments and, acting quickly, rushed between the blade and Sanemi. Both were shoved back from the impact, with Toguru slumped on top of him as he cried out.
'Not again, I must not let them die!"
Denki knew his electricity would only worsen the situation, but both of them were knocked away. He was going to unleash his quirk at full capacity,
Denki, while they were fighting, snuck around close to Moonfish, so now, at this range with both Toguru and Sanemi in safe range, he released it. The villain turned stunned, now fearful.
"1 MILLION VOLTS!"
Sanemi pushed Toguru aside as he connected the dots.
'I need to fully combine both the breath and wind and attack as one, and I need to slash every bit of teeth in this terrain, he looked as Denki shocked him, letting out a breath...
"Wind breathing first form: Wind cutter slash"
He blasted forward, wind augmenting every movement as he slashed everything around him, moving in a straight line, a forward-moving circulation of slashes and wind blades, a very destructive move destroying any obstacle.
Denkis' shock was over as he fell into a dumb state while Sanemi's blurring image blitzed in, hitting 400 different slashes on moonfish in an instant, piecing apart moonfish's body as he lay a pile of mush.
The carnage is visible as his legs want to crumble; he wants to just go to sleep forever, but he needs to leave as he sees all the blood, countless bodies, and the approaching footsteps of workers at QCF.
The blade he was holding still holds strong, as he looks at Toguru's unconscious state and Denki's dumb state, he can see the blood on himself through the shine of the clear blood on his blade.
"Denki, I don't know if you can hear this, but I'll be gone out of your and Toguru's lives, I will no longer bother you two... You will become great heroes."
He begins walking away, but he turns, saying one last word to Denki,
"Just say sorry to Genya for me."
With that, he exits the facility, having burst through the recess doors and hopping the fence with a final glance at the now red lights surrounding the QCF, and in the nighttime, it looks more like a jail than he thought.
Villains are parasites, and heroes don't eradicate such just by letting them fester,
He clenches his fist, now walking through a rough forest path, now far away from the QCF.
'If he hadn't listened, none of this would have happened. That fool is dumb, he couldn't see how dangerous he was, he couldn't stop him from killing, even if he was possible for change, why allow a boy like that into society, Toguru..."
He looks at the night sky, resting his body against a tree. Now the rush was gone, the slight static in his heart gone now, the heavy ache of muscles and world, cuts, and jagged marks scarred his skin as a giant red X scar sat atop his chest.
'This new life, I'll kill villains, they have no place, with the people of heart,'
He thinks of his closest people being Genya, Sumi, Shuya, Denki, and Toguru.
'They have a good heart, I'm going to protect that, whether I'm good or I'm bad, Genya, I believe in you.'
As Sanemi slept in an almost poetic slumber.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Crazy fight but yes this arc wasnt suppose to be long so making this chapter this long was not the plan at all but very necessary as vigilante arc is the most excited i am about this fanfic
also moonfishes death aint that important but on ibari it is, also as you can see i took alot of creative liberties in terms of character powers backstories and such so it was a new flavor of mha than the usual
villains was apart of this, which is why moonfish was out and many attacks as this was to reduce heroes but you'll see some of this later.
Luck isnt lucking with Sanemi but now he is in control of his life no outside factor determined where he sits, eat, or fight. This is what he wanted...
Until next time.........
