My Hero Academia: What We Fight For (Izuocha)

(Arc 2.5) Chapter Two - Learning Control

  
       "Okay, now try to think of something angry. Anything. And try to focus only on that" Kacchan told me.

     We were in the school gym, as we had nowhere else we could practice at. Kirishima, Jirou, Kacchan and Iida could spare time to help me.

     "I'm trying, but nothing's happening" I told him.

     "Come on, man. You need to focus. Mastering this is gonna be a huge help in getting our friends back" Kirishima stated.

      " I know, I know" I told him. "Even if I did activate it, I wouldn't be able to control it. You saw how it was during the showdown."

      "Yeah, but that's the whole point if this. Just... think of something, anything that pisses you off."

     I relaxed myself and tried to focus. Something that make me angry. Anything...

     "Once I'm done with you, I might make her beg for her life before I take hers, too. How does that sound? Knowing you're girlfriend will die because of you."

     You took her away from me. You bastard. Because of you I dont get to see her smile. I don't get to spend my life with her. SHe doesn't have a future... BECAUSE OF YOU!

     I felt the black vines extend from my arm again, before shooting out and flying rampantly. Everyone ran for cover.

       "Ahhhh!!!!!" I screamed in pain.

      How can I control this? And why does it hurt so bad?! I feel like I did when I first got One for All... wait, that's it! The egg in the microwave... if I keep it going at 5% it should work!

     I closed my eyes and focused. I stopped the strain and stress on my arm, and focused. 

Breath, you got this... Just think happier thoughts.

     "Ochako Uraraka... will you be my girlfriend?"

     That day... one of the greatest moments of my life. There, on that beach... It was perfect. The tendril vine things started to calm down, and stayed dormant on my hand. Everyone walked out and cheered in response, even Bakugo.

     "Whoa, that's amazing! How'd you control it?" Kirishima asked me.

     "I just... got real angry, then I guess if I think happy thoughts and keep it on a low percentage of power instead of using the full extent, it remains like this" I stated. "Just a hunch, though."

     "Well? Why don't we see what it can do?" Iida asked.

     I nodded and focused again. Once I felt I was ready, I  threw my arm forward and the black vines extended at great speeds into a punching bag they had set up, knocking it over.

     "Not bad, Deku, not bad" Kacchan told me, patting my shoulder. I really appreciated the kindness he showed me.

      I felt a slight jolt of pain in my arm as the black vines went back into my arm and m whole arm went completely numb.

      "Ugh... it really hurts when it extends or retracts. And my arm is completely numb" I told them.

     "It's a part of your quirk you've never used before, so you're not used to it. I guarantee the more you practice the more accustomed you'll be to it" Iida informed.

      "It's good that you know how to activate it. But we should work on your kicks and punches too. Remember, one touch from that guy and you're done for" Jirou stated.

     "Yeah, you're right. But either way this is gonna be dangerous. I'm for sure gonna have to fight all of the league at once, if not one by one. I need a plan. I'm thinking of maybe support gear that could pull them ic loser so I can hit them without taking a lot of damage trying to get close" I muttered.

     "I got it! Use those black vines like a whip! If it can wrap around something, you'll have no problem pulling them in, right?" Mina replies.

     "Raccoon eyes has a point. Try that out" Bakugo agrees.

     I focused on that happy and angry thought at the same time while keeping the power at 5% and it shot back out, but it barely hurt. I focused and threw the vines like a whip, it latching onto the punching bag on the first try. I then yanked my arm back and sure enough, the punching bag pulled my way and off the stand. I then used my right leg and kicked the bag back.

     "Look at that, it worked!" Mina jumped in excitement.

     I pulled it back into my hand, without much pain but it still left my arm really numb.

     "That went way quicker than I thought it would. Hey Deku, wanna practice your kicking?" Iida asked. "I figured you would want to since you use your legs more now."

     "Yeah, let me go get a drink first" I said heading towards the doors leading outside, since the water fountains were outdoors.

     But I wasn't going outside for a drink. As soon as the doors closed, I sent my fist into the brick walls.

     Get ahold of yourself! You're losing it, Izuku! There's no time to stop. No time for games. You need to save your friends and avenge her. It's the only way you can have her rest easy... is by taking him down for good. He took away your happiness. Now take everything from him.

     I took a deep breath before heading back inside. You just need to hold it together a little bit longer. Soon, he'll get what he deserves.
