Operation: Find Deku Pt. 1
Back at UA, the students of Class 1A are in the main area of their dormitory with the legendary pros Piccolo, Tien, Krillin, Gohan, Vidro, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha. They all received letters from a week ago when Midoriya left UA. Uraraka, feeling the most upset about her friend's disappearance was growing worried.
Ochaco Uraraka
*Worried and grips the letter* Really? Are you sure?
Codey Prower
We tried. But no luck.
Shoto Todoroki
My father wouldn't even answer his phone. I tried to reach out to him multiple times.
Katsuki Bakugo
I bet you these letters had Deku's name written all over it. *Tears up the letter* I'm going to kill that damn nerd.
Tenya Iida
You guessed? Those three were your mentors. Did you not try reaching out to them?
Shoto Todoroki
I tried. But dad kept ignoring my phone calls and text.
Katsuki Bakugo
Denim face too.
Fumikage Tokoyami
I tried calling Hawks multiple times. And at no point he didn't receive or answer any of my calls.
Codey Prower
I even tried calling my dad, but he didn't even say hello and kept hanging up on me whenever I called for him.
Junior Hedgehog
And we can't even get promoted to the next grade or in the foreseeable future. The Legendary Pro Hero Knuckles says that after the war, the first semester of the school year shall start fresh from the beginning and all students that are to be ranked to the next class are to remain in the same grade until year after this.
Junior Hedgehog
Knuckles also said that we needed to secure the area and help out with civilians that are coming into the shelters for evacuations.
Krillin
Yeah, but I heard that other legendaries are fighting Monster Zero while looking after Midoriya. So that has to be good news that he's safe, right?
Gohan
Safe, being the worst word in the time that we're in right now, is highly impossible. Let's not forget that Cell possessed the souls of my daughter and wife. And they're out their hunting him down, probably.
Gohan
This means that pro heroes will be in trouble if they come into contact with them. Plus, we also have Cell to worry about.
Tien Shinhan
He's right. Even if we use our combined strength, Cell and the other villains might be stronger than they are now. And with Goku and Sonic dead, Vegeta returned to his path of evil, I have a bad feeling that we're losing a fighting war.
Krillin
Hey, speaking of Vegeta, how's Bulma doing?
Yamcha
Not good. She was distraught after finding out about how Vegeta betrayed the heroes when Monster Zero and Shigaraki woke up from their nap.
Vidro
After Darling and I went to tell her, she went into a mental breakdown. She couldn't believe that her husband was persuaded into fighting alongside the villains and destroy the world.
Rikido Sato
*Sympathy* I feel sorry for her. It can't be easy seeing the love of your life working with villains.
Mezo Shoji
If I was in her shoes, I don't think I would ever forgive the things she was doing to us during the fight.
Junior Hedgehog
Guys, let's get back on topic. Right now, we have a friend out their who hasn't eaten in days or weeks and is probably on the verge of death due to exhaustion.
Mashirao Ojiro
He's right.
Kyoka Jiro
And you know what's weird? All Might hasn't come back to campus.
Katsuki Bakugo
If he didn't want to get near the school, then who the hell put these letters under our door last night? I bet he had All Might doing his dirty work for him.
Chiaotzu
But the last update we heard, the top three heroes teamed up together.
Yuga Aoyama
We can assume that Midoriya is safe, yeah?
Katsuki Bakugo
Listen moron, I don't have a good read on All Might, but I have a good feeling about Deku. And I swear, this is the worst-case scenario.
Eijiro Kirishima
*Determined* Then we need to find a way to find and contact Midoriya and help him out. Come on, let's go!
Momo Yaoyorozu
But how do we do it? As we heard on the news, all the villains that are working for Boxman and All For One are patrolling the streets.
Piccolo
Damn it! Then there isn't much on what we could do. So far, the other legendary pros are in the US and around the world trying to contain the monsters Monster Zero summoned from their slumber.
Tsuyu Asui
What does that mean? We can't go and find Midoriya?
Piccolo
As long as Boxman and the other villains remain a step ahead, then they're going to lead us on a wild goose chase. And we also have King Altcray's daughter to think about. If we leave her here, then she'll be a target for the villains.
Piccolo
Our best bet is to wait until Monster Zero is defeated and the League of Villains are found.
Vidro
But it's not like we can just sit here and wait for Monster Zero to come to us. We all have seen what it could do in a fight.
Eijiro Kirishima
But guys, our friend is in danger. And he needs us more than ever! We're a class, and we have to stick together.
Tien Shinhan
I'm afraid it's not that simple. With everything that is going on, if we fight Mosnter Zero, then his head will grow back.
Krillin
Even having the memory of that gives me goose bumps.
Tenya Iida
Yeah. It's unnatural for a dragon to regrow his head.
Codey Prower
(It's unnatural for animals to grow their head, but it's natural for an animal to regrow a tail.) *Gasp* Wait a minute, all living things have a natural order, and they must obey that law to survive!
Tenya Iida
*Surprised* What did you say?
Codey Prower
What I'm trying to say is, what if Monster Zero isn't part of the natural order?
Denki Kaminari
The natural order?
Gohan
The natural order is a system comprising the physical universe and functioning according to natural as distinguished from human or supernatural laws. This also goes for Titans and animals.
Minoru Mineta
But Codey, everything has a natural order to follow.
Codey Prower
Well, take Piccolo, for instance. On Namek, if he's injured on one part of his arm, then like a lizard, he can rip it off and regrow the missing limb.
Piccolo
It's true. But that still doesn't explain about the three-headed dragon re-growing his head back.
Codey Prower
That's why I did some research back at Monty's training camp before this all started. *Flies to his dorm and picks up a stack of papers about Monster Zero*
Codey Prower
*Grunting while carrying it back to the others* Man, how much material did I do? *Drops it on the coffee table*
Eijiro Kirishima
*Surprised* What the? That's a lot of papers.
Mina Ashido
*Grabs a folder and reads the research* Hey, this guy looks vaguely familiar. Especially the man on his back.
Toru Hagakure
Hey, what is all this? What does it mean?
Kyoka Jiro
I have to hand it to you, Codey. This is pretty impressive. How come I don't have you doing my homework from now on?
Mashirao Ojiro
Hey, these painting and drawings...are they from early civilization?
Codey Prower
Precisely. I did some-
Junior Hedgehog
Whoa, whoa, whoa, how did you manage all this?
Codey Prower
Remember the times you guys went to sleep when it was lights out? I pulled all-nighters for four days, coming up with this kind of thing that could help us in the future if it comes to the point of Pandora's Box being opened.
Katsuki Bakugo
What's the point of this you two-tailed moron?
Codey Prower
The point is, this could help us understand our enemy better, and it could help us get the advantage of the villains.
Shoto Todoroki
Then what does it all say?
Codey Prower
It tells of a mystic being, a golden light of death and destruction falling from the stars and crashing onto Earth in 450 BC.
Codey Prower
A hydra that swallows both men and God's alike. Uses them for their power to defeat anyone in their way. It also tells of a warrior from Nubia who rode on the back of the beast into battle with Akkadians and the Philistines.
Minoru Mineta
Philippines? This guy was at war with the Philippines?
Hanta Sero
*Irritated* Knock it off, Mineta. He said Philistines, not Philippines!
Mashirao Ojiro
But wait, if they were at war, how they weren't stopped?
Codey Prower
Because Monster Zero and the rider, Akhenaten, the Egyptian ruler in Meroe, defeated countless armies, and conquered many kingdoms.
Piccolo
So the reason why Godzillo and Mothra were fighting them from the images we saw when were training was because they were...
Codey Prower
Yes. Monster Zero was not meant to be here, and King Akhenaten was not meant to wield the power of a God.
Gohan
So that makes this Titan...
Vidro
An invasive species. So, my people back on Kepler 452b were actually trying to get rid of an alien threat!
Yamcha
*Holds a document about Monster Zero* Yeah. That's how it's looking. And this may be a hutch, but what if Monster Zero actually has more than one ability?
Tien Shinhan
What do you mean Yamcha?
Yamcha
What if this creature actually has the power to not only cause storms and have other effects on titans around the world, but it also has the ability to suck the energy right out of them?
Koji Koda
Maybe you're right. Back at Monty's, he did say that Monster Zero was 75,000 tons of Kaiju eating muscle.
Piccolo
And if that's true, then Midoriya is in even more danger than he already is. If this bastard gets the chance to suck the energy out of him, then he'll be able to take his quirk like All For One can.
Momo Yaoyorozu
These legends, what do they call him?
Codey Prower
Ghidorah. The one who is many. In Mesopotamia, the name Ghidorah refers to "The Golden Wings of Death."
Eijiro Kirishima
That's it! I can't just sit around here while that thing is out there! Come on guys, let's go and find him!
Everyone was talking at once what to do about their current situation. Later, Uraraka had an idea that could help.
Ochaco Uraraka
We all know that Sonic and Goku sacrificed themselves by destroying the oxygen destroyer and using it on Ghidorah, right?
Ochaco Uraraka
Then I know who to exactly ask where we can find Deku and help him.
Tsuyu Asui
What do you mean Ochaco? The legendaries are busy helping people around the world and bring them to safety from Ghidorah's wrath. Ribbit.
Ochaco Uraraka
But like all heroes, there's only one who can stay behind, and keep an eye on things in case it ever goes wrong and he needs to get their.
Junior Hedgehog
You mean...
Ochaco Uraraka
Let's ask Knuckles.
Knuckles The Echidna
Hey, what is this?
Endeavor
Principal, you set us up.
Principal Nezu
When I heard that, my students wanted to talk to you and Knuckles, I thought this would be interesting. When you're an educator, it's important to help those learn new things as they grow.
Shoto Todoroki
I don't get why you've been ignoring my calls. Didn't we say that we would stop Touya together?
Endeavor
Shoto, the reason why you want to help is the reason I continue to fight.
Junior Hedgehog
Uncle Knuckles, why didn't you call Codey and tell him about Uncle Tails? Let me guess, you got Deku, my mom, All Might, and the other legendaries working together, right? Why didn't you bring him back?
Knuckles The Echidna
Junior...
Katsuki Bakugo
I knew it. They all thought it was a smart idea. But, you don't know Deku like I do. He doesn't care about himself. He says he's fine without thinking about himself. That's what made All Might the symbol of peace and Sonic the legendary pro hero. So he can't be trusted to be out their all alone.
Katsuki Bakugo
*Worried* Listen to me. Something terrible is going to happen if you let them do this alone.
Knuckles The Echidna
I understand how you all feel, but right now, this isn't your place to step in and help. The world is falling apart with Monster Zero loose out their and with Shigaraki on his back, that spells planet destruction.
Knuckles The Echidna
But you know, the reason why I came by was to actually tell Principal Nezu to close down the school and campus until further notice.
Ochaco Uraraka
*Shocked* Huh?!
Tenya Iida
Why would you do that?
Knuckles The Echidna
Because the battle zone has expanded. Sonic was the master of keeping at one place. But with him gone, it's chaos.
Piccolo
Listen to me Knuckles, you don't understand how these kids feel, but I do. And do you even know what's going to happen if your plan to stop Ghidorah fails?
Yamcha
Easy there, Piccolo. I know what he's saying is irrational, but I feel like he's trying to help us understand the situation. Knuckles, I get it. The world is broken and in shambles. But, we got this. We didn't spend all of 7 months on different islands just to do nothing
Endeavor
*Brings out his phone* Midoriya.
Krillin
Hold up, is that GPS tracking Midoriya?
Endeavor looks up, with a solemn look on his face. Knowing what it is, Krillin slaps the device out of Endeavor's hand and tries to catch it with Toru, Sero, Mineta, Koda, Codey, and Mina.
Knuckles The Echidna
*Surprised* Hey. What do you think you kids are doing?!
Hanta Sero
I need to borrow this, sorry Mr. Knuckles, sir! I know I'm just a kid who ended up in Midoriya's class, but I want to help!
Koji Koda
Me too. Especially after everything we've been through together.
Krillin
Come on, Knuckles! I know I'm just a random guy who ended up joining Team Endeavor's evacuation team for the war, but I still want to help.
Yamcha
Same here. I'll make sure that All For One pays for what he's done to our new friend!
Gohan
I owe him this much, especially for helping me think positively about getting Pan and Videl back from Cell.
Piccolo
The boy is smart and strong. But he still needs some training, and I will be sure that he gets it after this is over. (Looks like Pan will have a sparring partner.)
Vidro
I know how he feels. Having to have everything weigh upon your shoulders, he could've told me, and we could've helped out.
Junior Hedgehog
After everything we've been through, I can't help feeling but go out there, trash some villains, and save my friend. That's what he would've done for me. Plus, Dad would've wanted it this way, especially Goku.
Shoto Todoroki
I can't believe that he couldn't confide me about the burdens of One For All. And he thought that a simple letter would convince me.
Tenya Iida
Either way, we know the burden of One For All is a terrible responsibility that he's going through. But, we're Class 1A, and we stick together. Especially the legendaries.
Tenya Iida
And knowing that our friend, is walking a treacherous path, knowing that he is in danger, shows us that we can't look to the future with a smile, knowing that our friend is hurt, scared, frustrated and exhausted.
Knuckles The Echidna
Listen, I get what you guys are saying. I really do, but going out there is madness, and hell. All put together in a chaotic stew. If you do this, then there's no turning back on your decision.
Knuckles The Echidna
Plus, there are villains out there that are twice as strong since Ghidorah and Shigaraki's awakening. Plus, the Chaos Emeralds are destroyed. Which means you won't be able to wish anyone back to life if one of you dies.
Ochaco Uraraka
We understand. Which is why I'll go to such lengths to bring Deku back. Even if it means that out there, it will kill me.
Principal Nezu
Knuckles, believe in these students. I have the most confidence that they'll finish their goal of which they desire.
Endeavor
But principal, nobody can persuade a legendary. It's considered offensive to do so.
Principal Nezu
Have you forgotten? There was one Legendary Pro that could do anything no matter how big the enemy is. He can do it not for the sake of the person, but for the sake of the entire planet.
Endeavor
Are you talking about...Sonic?
Principal Nezu
Yea. If he was here today, right now, what do you think he would say in a crisis like this?
Endeavor
(He would tell me not to let my fears own me. But the sake of losing my son to Touya would be catastrophic.)
Knuckles The Echidna
*Sighs* All right. Kids, I'll let you go. At least, that's what Sonic would say.
Principal Nezu
Plus, this would be a good time to test out the new barrier we installed thanks to Tails.
Principal Nezu
Tails designed this barrier even after I offered to pay him. Instead, he did out of generosity and kindness. Sonic's influence spreads quickly. But, the barrier he built allows us to evacuate UA if anything bad were ever to happen.
Principal Nezu
Inside the walls, there are electronic railroad systems that will travel from here to Shiketsu in the north. Plus, it has a locking mechanism where if the villains trip the alarm, lock down is issued.
Shoto Todoroki
*Confused* Shiketsu? [+Bakugo] *Remembers* Oh, right. Those guys.
Principal Nezu
I've always thought that we could never use them, but now, with the circumstances we have now, this is a perfect time to test them.
Endeavor
But sir, about Midoriya, if we bring him back, then the evacuees will-
Principal Nezu
Don't worry about that. Sonic didn't save this world countless times for bigotry and hatred. This school can allow Midoriya to come back. Because it's his hero academy.
Ochaco Uraraka
*Shocked* (That's right. This is our hero academy.)
Principal Nezu
Now then, young heroes, Legendaries, go. Go out their and bring your classmate back.
Tenya Iida
[+Everyone] [-Endeavor, Knuckles, and Principal Nezu] Right! Thank you sir!
Everyone who was in the room left to get ready for their new mission: Bring Izuku Midoriya back to UA. Knuckles offered to keep tabs here with Nezu to make sure everyone is safe. Before Uraraka could leave with the others, Knuckles stopped her.
Knuckles The Echidna
Hey, Uraraka, you have a minute? We need to talk.
Ochaco Uraraka
(What would he want to talk to me about?)
Later, everyone, including Yamcha, Piccolo, Gohan, Tien, Chiaotzu, Vidro, and Krillin all got ready to leave the campus of UA and head out into the villainous and dangerous new world.
Eijiro Kirishima
All right, you guys ready for this?
Denki Kaminari
Yeah. I am. I won't let the villains catch my friend.
Katsuki Bakugo
Just remember this one thing you idiots. The damn bastard has more than one quirk now. So we have to be on guard if he tries to run away.
Tenya Iida
More than one? You mean he unlocked every power from One For All?
Katsuki Bakugo
Yeah. But now, we just need to know where the damn nerd is. Sero, where's the GPS?
Hanta Sero
*Pulls out the GPS* Right here. Damn it, I can't make a reading to this.
Momo Yaoyorozu
What do you mean? Does it have reception?
Hanta Sero
Yeah, it does, but for some reason, it says that there's a forest near here that he's heading straight towards.
Gohan
Could that be the villains?
Mezo Shoji
That wouldn't be possible. The villains wouldn't even be close to the school now.
Minoru Mineta
Then, what could be in that forest that Midoriya is looking for?
Tsuyu Asui
It could be that he's still looking for the League of Villains. They do want to have his power.
Momo Yaoyorozu
Tsu is right. It could be that.
Codey Prower
Let me see. *Takes the GPS and looks* Hmm, according to the GPS, Midoriya is heading towards the Shopping District. *Puts down the GPS and takes out a map of Japan*
Yuga Aoyama
*Surprised* Codey, how did you...
Codey Prower
My family does a lot of traveling. Now let's see, if I'm correct, and I arrange the area of Japan to the old formed Pangaea, then Mesopotamia should be right, here!
Shoto Todoroki
Did you find him? Or did you find what you're looking for?
Codey Prower
It seems that with King Ghidorah controlling the other titans, it's suiting the world's environment to its needs. World-wide floods, Wild fires, earthquakes, he's starting to reform the land mass of the Earth.
Mina Ashido
So, this dragon is literally changing the Earth?
Codey Prower
Yep. Back to its original state. When all of the world's countries came together into one big landmass.
Codey Prower
That should put Midoriya right here. In the Cedar Forest.
Junior Hedgehog
The Cedar Forest? You that place where a giant lives?
Codey Prower
Yes. And, thanks to the rapid growth of plants, the Cedar Forest including its inhabitants are making a comeback.
Eijiro Kirishima
Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!
Gohan
He's right. Now is the time to go and find Midoriya before someone else does. We all know that the villains are after him and that also means-
Ochaco Uraraka
Assassins are after him. Preferably those who are recommended by Lord Boxman and All For One.
Mina Ashido
Where have you been, girl? Why did you stay behind?
Ochaco Uraraka
*Blushing* Knuckles, just wanted to talk to me about something important.
Mina Ashido
Important? *Gasp* You mean he was- *Gets slapped by Piccolo* Ow! What the heck was that for?
Piccolo
This is no time to be talking about girly things and crushes! We're wasting time talking when we should be going.
Krillin
That's great. But I'm more worried about the evacuees for one being left alone with no one to watch them. And two, how they're going to react with bringing Midoriya here.
Yamcha
We're just going to have to wing it. Why not? Midoriya ran away from UA because he didn't want to bring trouble here right?
Hanta Sero
I guess, but Krillin has a point about the evacuees being left alone. But, the pro heroes will be here, right?
Yuga Aoyama
Yeah. I'm sure Present Mic will help smooth things over.
Ochaco Uraraka
About the evacuees, Knuckles says that the princess will keep an eye on things here while we go and look for Deku. So everything should be fine. Let's get going, everyone. I have a feeling that Deku doesn't have much time.
Tenya Iida
All right, everyone, remember, if there is a villain that is after Midoriya, we have the right to engage. We only have to bring him back even if it means that he doesn't want to.
Junior Hedgehog
Right. Let's do it!
Class 1A, Piccolo, Vidro, Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, Krillin, and Gohan left the sanctity of UA and headed off into the dangerous world. Nezu looks out from his window and appreciates the students he has taken in.
Principal Nezu
I say, Eraserhead has some amazing young heroes to train and teach. I'm proud of their abilities. Knuckles, what will you do?
Knuckles The Echidna
I have to go back and help out on the front lines. But don't worry, I have someone who will look after the evacuees with Present Mic and the other faculty.
Princess Myne
*Knocks on the door and walks in* Am I in the right place?
Knuckles The Echidna
Nezu, meet the princess of Scotland. We rescued her after Methuselah rampages through the countryside of Ireland. She'll help calm the evacuees when Midoriya comes.
Principal Nezu
That's very good news to hear. It's an honor to meet you your highness. I'm sorry to hear about your country.
Princess Myne
No need. I have faith that the legendaries will save the world like they always have. I have the upmost confidence that they'll succeed.
Knuckles The Echidna
Well then, I better get going. I'll leave the rest to you. *Walks out and closes the door*
Principal Nezu
Princess, I'm glad that Knuckles brought you here. Now we'll be able to have more help soothing the crowds when the young heroes bring back their classmate.
Princess Myne
You really think so, Mr. Nezu?
Principal Nezu
Of course. I better go and prep things up for Midoriya's arrival at once. After all he's been through, he's going to need the support of everyone around him.
Nezu walks out of his office with his umbrella to go and calm the crowds. Little did he know that he had a spy among the walls.
Princess Myne
*Whispering* Lord Boxman, everything is ready.
Lord Boxman
Perfect. Keep sending me updates as soon as you can. And remember, be sure to get rid of the problem, and then ensure everyone that everything is "okay" as long as the heroes are their.
Princess Myne
Right. Perfect plan, over and out. *Turns off her communicator* (Nezu, I'm afraid you're about to be fired.)
