8 Bit Glitch

Part 13~Game Over

Stretching, I popped my shoulder out. I was too tired. Endeavour worked us both hard and we barely got any rest. Todoroki watched me as I collapsed onto the couch.

"You alright?" Todoroki raised his eyebrow, lowering his book for a brief second to look at me.

"I'm dead," I shouted dramatically, rolling over.

Todoroki sighed, standing up and ruffling through my bag as I continued to annoy Endeavour. Todoroki held the games console over my head as I reached up to take it. Endeavour looked at his son in confusion as Todoroki chuckled slightly. "I asked Bakugo and Kaminari how to keep Midoriya quiet before we left. They said if you give Midoriya any game, he wouldn't notice a bomb going off." Todoroki sat back down, pulling out his book and flicking to the page he had been reading.

I narrowed my eyes, smashing buttons as I took on the boss. This time Bakugo can't kill me! Almost there!

"Oi, we're going now!" Endeavour snatched the game out of my hands as my mouth fell open. I heard my character dying as Endeavour turned off the game and I tightened my fist.

"Hey, Todoroki. Can I kill Endeavour?"

"While you have my greatest sympathy, not here." Todoroki patted my shoulder as I stood up.

"Fine, if I can't kill him, I'll just torture him instead for killing Byix. By the time I'm done, he will know true fear and tragedy. After tonight he will never be the same! Jumping from the quietest sound and screaming at the smallest touch that reminds him of the pain I caused!" I laughed evilly as everyone backed away from me.

"Want some help?" Todoroki offered as I smirked.

"Today, a truly great alliance has been formed, Shoto Todoroki. Your father will learn the true meaning of terror."

~~~

"Evening father, may I ask where we are heading off to? I would like to prepare for the streets we'll find." Todoroki looked up to his father with an impassive expression on his face.

"Hosu. Where is the other?" Endeavour looked around with a devastating glare as I hopped down the corridor.

"Hello, Endeavour," I sang as I tilted my head with a wide grin plastered over my face.

"What is going on?"

"What do you mean? Everything is completely normal."

Endeavour stumbled back slightly as I stared into his soul. "Where did the... the clone come from?! Villain! I shall destroy you for intimidating my son!" Endeavour's fire grew in anger as the 'clone' smirked.

"Why are you looking at me? If anyone is the villain, it's that one that is standing in the reception. I just came out of the lift." The 'clone' crossed his arms over his chest feistily as Todoroki raised his eyebrow in fake agitation.

"I am not a fake."

Humming, I tapped my chin. "Well, there is one way to find out... You could burn one of them alive and if they turn into a villain, yay. However, if they don't, you've just burnt your son- more than you already have- and that will forever be on your conscious." Endeavour glared, knowing I was right. "How about, for now, you are Shoto! And you are Shota!" I pointed between the two Todorokis as Endeavour spun on his heels.

"I don't have time for this." Endeavour turned around, storming away as the Todorokis and I followed.

It was a barely 10-minute trip before we arrived at Hosu. I knew I would have to put away 'Shota' at some point soon or else I'll have a heart attack and that wasn't a great idea but this was a lot of fun. Nothing like summoning a shapeshifter to piss off the number two hero.

I was humming as Shoto played on his phone and Shota messed with the people on the train. Endeavour glared at all of us as I stuck my tongue out at him.

Endeavour paced through the city as my heart started playing up. I really should have put away Shota but every time he and Shoto talked in sync, I got a delightful groan out of Endeavour which made the incoming heart failure worth it.

When I finally couldn't take it, I let Shota return to his game as I leaned against Shoto. Endeavour glared at me as I smirked.

"I hope you've learnt your lesson to not use your quirk for pointless things."

"Says the guy with a fire beard." That was the last thing I said before I collapsed. It was so worth it.

~~~

"Dekiru! Dekiru! Wake up! Wake up!" Denki pushed me off the bed as I groaned.

"What are you doing?"

"It's 2pm already. I was starting to worry you were dead." Denki leaned over the edge of the bed with a worried smile. The light hung above his head made him look even more angelic than usual.

"I would be a fool to die when I have you to wake up to..."

Denki's eyes widened comically as he shot away. "W-what?!"

Realising that I had said that out loud, I shot up and jumped to my feet. "Nothing! Nothing at all!" I blushed heavily as I walked away. I can't believe I said that out loud! I was about to leave the room when I felt Denki grabbing my wrist.

"Wait! I didn't say you had to leave..." Denki shuffled on his feet as I stared at him. "I don't mind you saying stuff like that..."

I could feel my heart beating heavily as I found myself lost in his swirling golden eyes. He was so beautiful. Hesitantly, I lifted my hands to cup his cheeks, smiling as he leaned into the touch. "...This is a dream isn't it?" Denki nodded as I sighed. "Oh well, may as well enjoy it while I can." Leaning forward, I silently cursed as I wasn't able to finish my dream. Stupid reality.

~~~

Fluttering my eyes open, I might have screamed if I had a bit more energy. "Sup." The large winged Nomu that was carrying glared at me as I blinked back. I was too high up to save myself but I really didn't want to go wherever this Nomu was trying to take me. Should I go with the Nomu or go splat? What a tough choice.

On one hand, I most likely still had energy in my power pack meaning I could catch myself. But if I didn't that would be one long wait for death.

As it turns out, I didn't have to decide as I was snatched out from the air. In a flash, I was being placed on the ground as someone stood above me. I couldn't see much, he wore a cape and a mask and was not a hero I knew. He turned to leave as I jumped up. "Wait! Who are you?!"

The figure stopped for a second before smiling. "Well, Player 1, who I am does not matter. What I stand for is what matters... However, you can call me Vapour." The figure jumped off as I collapsed back on the ground. Why was I doing this again?
