Anime Avengers

Chapter 26

{Izuku Midoriya p.o.v}
I look up at All Might, "They actually compelled him. It's actually going that far."
"They'll go as far as they need to in order to rule the country. There is no stopping point."
"Kirishima is definitely serious about him though."
"They're best friends, Midoriya."
"Yeah, but what if he starts going after them all by himself because of his emotions and causes recklessness?"
"You use your emotions as well when you fight. I do too from time to time. It shouldn't be like that all the time, but sometimes our emotions get the best of us anyway. Emotions either cause powerful victory or tragic defeat."
"I'm just worried about them. He's really close to Kacchan and it would be horrible if something happened to either one of them. They'd both be devastated. So what are we going to do about the compelling issue?"
"We need to find Bakugo. Based on what Kirishima said, he's looking for us as we speak, and it won't take long for him to find us."
"But if we find him, then what?"
"Find someway to break it. I have no idea how."
"Wait," he looks at me, "the person that compelled him, is that the only one that can stop it?"
"I would assume so, why?"
"This is going to sound cruel, but we know he or she isn't going to stop the compelling willingly. So maybe...we'd have to kill them in order for it to be broken."
"I get what you mean, sometimes you have to go farther than you wish in order to beat something. Heroes don't want to kill, but if that's the only way to defeat something that's too powerful, then it's the only option they have. So if it is true that the only way to stop the compelling is to kill the person who activated it, then we have no other choice."
"But how do we know who did?"
"We'll find out soon enough."
"Hopefully before they compel anyone else."
"But in the meantime, let's go to the beach to train you more. You need to be fully prepared for the fight."
"Do you still think I'm not strong enough or something?"
"You're strong in your heart. Your body is getting more muscular. But honestly every time we fight a villain, you get weak so fast it's unreal. You help me for 5 seconds and you're already a wet spaghetti noodle."
I gasp, "I AM NOT! WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT!?"
He laughs and we walk to the beach again, coming here so often makes it feels like a second home for me or something.
"Too slow. Too weak. Too early. Move quicker. You let your guard down again. Duck. Jump. Run. Kick. Punch."
I huff, "You know, most of the stuff you say out loud is just the things that I'm doing wrong."
"That's the point."
"You want me to hear what I'm bad at!?"
"Yes. If you hear what you're bad at then you'll work harder on it to become better. If I lie and say you're doing good at something you suck at, you'll be terrible at fighting and you will lose."
I scratch my cheek, "I guess you're right about that. But at least be more nice about it."
"I'm not going to nicely say you punch like a girl, I'm going to say hit harder to knock out the enemy."
I just stare at him and cross my arms, "Talking to you is like asking Simon Cowell of his opinion about my talent."
He laughs, shaking his head. Hours of training begins again and I hate sweating like a pig every time. I'd be embarrassed if Uraraka saw me like this. Here I am looking like a pig while she looks like a princess.
Wait what?
All Might punches me and I fall flat on the sand. "Ow...."
"What happened?"
"What do you mean 'what happened'!? You socked me right in the cheek with your fist!"
"Clearly, I know what baby face feels like on my knuckles by now you know." I roll my eyes.
"You let your guard down all of a sudden. What happened?"
"I just thought of something personal and forgot about what we were doing for a second."
"You can't do that when fighting an enemy. You must keep focus the whole time and never lose your sights on them."
"I know, I know. I'm sorry."
"What freaked you out so suddenly?"
"Freaked me out?"
"Yeah, your eyes got huge and you froze the moment before I punched you."
"Oh, uhhhh, it's nothing."
"You said it was personal."
"Uhhh, y-yeah."
He smiles at me, "What?"
"You were thinking of your little crush with Uraraka, weren't you?"
My cheeks burn and my palms start sweating more, "I WAS NOT!"
"Then why are you nervous?"
"IT WAS RANDOM FOR YOU TO MENTION HER!" He laughs again, "ugh you're always laughing at me."
"You're no ladies man, that's for sure."
"Gee thanks, I just love hearing my idol telling me I'm going to die alone."
"That's not what I said at all and you know it. But if you actually like her, more than a friend, then you should spend more time alone with her. It doesn't have to be called a date if you don't want to call it that. It can just be called two friends hanging out if that's okay with you. There's not much time left from now to when the fight starts, so my advice is to do something about you two while you have the chance. Even if she doesn't like you back, at least you got it off your chest."
I nod, "You're a pro at relationship advice even though you're not with anyone."
"I don't need anyone remember, you're the only family I need." I smile.
"Now, you will fight me with all of your strength."
"WHAT!? I can't do that! That's dangerous and someone might see us!"
"We haven't tried it all summer and you need to be ready to fight well enough while using it too. You can't use your whole strength and then just be worn out right afterwards, that's pathetic against an enemy."
"I'm not doing it, All Might. I don't want to hurt you." I stand up and brush the sand off my pants, "I'll be back, gotta use the restroom." I walk away after that.

"I'll do it."
