"LINDA, GET MY WIG!" I yell at the top of the lungs as I burst into the backstage of class 1-A's show.
"Izuku, no one is wearing a wig. Get this on, I made it without sleeves so it shouldn't bother your arm. Hurry, you were cutting it close!" Jiro snaps as she throws a yellow suit without sleeves at me. Damn, she can be bossy when she wants!
"Aye aye aye, blame the police station for that! I had to arrest a couple of people and do paperwork!"
"Please tell me you looked over the lyrics and music sheets I gave you?"
"You gave me lyrics?"
". . .are you serious?"
"No. Where did you leave them?"
"On top of some files in your room!"
"OH SHIT, AIZAWA MIGHT HAVE THE THEN! WOOPS! You don't mind him singing, do you?" Now that comment makes me wonder if Shouta can sing. If I can get him to be a stripper and sing, I have one less person to worry about hiring at my future strip club!
"This is serious! We will probably need to cut that part out, damn it!"
"How much time do we have?"
"Five minutes, Izuku! Anybody have any ideas?" Jiro starts panicking, but I cut her off.
"Does your sheet music have my part in it?"
"Yes, but can you really memorize that in five minutes?"
"I am offended that you are underestimating me." Jiro considers before sighing and shoving the music in my hands.
"If you screw this up, I will shove my jacks in your ears and blast until you're deaf."
"I got you, Rocker!"
To guarantee that I will study, Bakugo adds, "YOU BETTER NOT FUCK THIS UP FOR US, DEKU!"
"Okay, Boomer!" I grab everything handed to me, and I head to the bathroom to change.
Bossy people!
---
IT'S SHOWTIME, EVERYBODY! EVERYONE GO TO THEIR POSITION!
"LET'S DO THIS SHIT!" Bakugo yells out with so much anger that you would have thought someone just topped him in bed, " "We're gonna murder all UA students with music!"
BOOM!
Bakugo explodes the whole damn stage to reveal the band featuring and the row of dancers (where I am at!), and the music starts blasting.
"Thanks for coming out today!" Jiro yells into the microphone before starting her verse.
Now is the time to mention that all of this is in English, so good job, Jiro!
"What am I to be?
What is my calling?
I gave up giving up, I'm ready to go!
The future's left unseen.
It all depends on me.
Put it on the line to follow my dream.
YEAH!
Tried all my life, I've tried to find
Something that makes me hold on and never let go.
OHHHHHHHHH!"
At this point, all the dancers jump all over the place except for Iida. Iida is shoved to the side with his robot dance because he can't dance even if Stain was about to murder his ass again.
"Hero too, I am a hero!
My heart is set (my heart is set) and I won't back down!
Hero too, strength doesn't make a hero!"
"CAT, catapult Aoyama into the air now!" I command my visor that I was forced on. CAT meows as it runs onto the stage at Aoyama.
"True heroes (true heroes) stand up for what they believe!
So wait and see!"
CAT throws Aoyama(who is in his hero costume) into the air, and he starts shooting lasers all over the place to make himself look like a disco ball. I give props to whoever came up with that idea because it looks fantastic.
"So wait and see!"
When Aoyama comes back down, Ojiro catches him, and everyone runs to the backstage including me. Everyone runs to the second floor of the building to set up for the next part.
"CAT, listen to Ojiro," I state. CAT meows and follows after Ojiro. Meanwhile, I grab my microphone and wait for my part.
"What do they think of me?
Who do they think I'll be?
I could not care less, I don't wanna know!
Am I doing right?
Am I satisfied?
I wanna my life like it's mean to be!
YEAH!
Tried all my life!-"
HOLD THE PHONE! HOLD MY TEA! GET THE PADDY WAGON!
WHAT THE FUCK?!
I AM SORRY TO BE INTERRUPTING THE NUMBER, BUT WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!
HOW THE FLIPPITY FLOP DID MINETA GET A FRICKING HAREM FOR THIS SONG?! AND HOW WERE THESE GIRLS WILLING TO DO IT?!
. . .
HOW BIG IS HIS DICK?!
Okay, I know that's bad, but I am dead-ass serious! I want to know how the fuck did he get this to happen! DID HE DRUG THEM OR SOMETHING?!
I AM SORRY, BUT I WILL BE CALLING FBI ON YO ASS AFTER THIS, MINETA!
Oh yeah, we still have a song to continue. Fine, I guess. But if Mineta tries something, I will shove all his balls down his throat.
Moving on!
"I've tried to find!
Something that makes me hold on and never let go!
OHHHHHHHHHH!"
This is when all hell breaks loose.
Todoroki spreads ice through the entire floor. Sero throws his tape all over the place as Koda has birds flying about. Meanwhile, Momo shoots ribbons from her arms while Kirishima is running about spreading glitter. On top of all of that, Aoyama spins around while shooting lasers and is currently swung around by CAT.
I give him credit for having the balls to do that.
"Hero too, I am a hero too!
My heart is set (my heart is set) and I won't back down!
Hero too, strength doesn't make a hero!
True heroes (true heroes) stand up for what they believe!
So wait and see!"
FINALLY, WE ARE AT THE PART WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR: MY VERSE!
I have been given permission to use Stain's ability, and that I will!
I start walking onto the stage slowly towards Jiro while facing the crowd. By the end, I am next to her.
(This means both Izuku and Jiro are singing.)
You will quickly realize why I was given this part.
"People will judge for no reason at all.
Yeah they might try
To say your dream's dumb, don't listen.
They may look down on me and count me out.
I'm going my own way.
They may look down on me and count me out.
I'm a hero, I've got music!"
Time for this song to slow down!
"Hero too, I am a hero too.
My heart is set and I won't back down.
Hero too, strength doesn't make a hero.
True heroes stand up for what they believe
YEAH I'LL BE!"
At this point, Tsu is hanging Ochaco by her tongue, and having her go over the crowd while using her quirk, sending people into the air. Other people get caught up by the tape.
I don't think this is safe, but alright!
"Hero too, I am a hero too!
My heart is set (my heart is set) and I won't back down!
Hero too, strength doesn't make a hero!
True heroes (true heroes) stand up for they believe!
So wait and see!"
I search quickly for Eri in the crowd, and I find her on Mirio shoulders an -
OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH!
SHE IS SMILING! NORMALLY, I DESPISE KIDS, BUT THAT SMILE! THAT SMILE IS FUCKING WORTH THE TROUBLE I WENT THROUGH TO GET TO HER, AND SHE ISN'T A BRAT LIKE EVERY OTHER CHILD!
That's it! She is my child, and nobody can stop me otherwise!
"I have met so many heroes in my life!
Gave me the strength and courage to survive!
Gave me the power to smile every day!
Now it's my turn to be the one to make you smile!"
As the ending comes up, I put the microphone down, run to the center of the stage, and do a front flip into a split at the final note while the last effects go up.
Ow, that hurts! However.
WE DID IT! WE GOT EVERYBODY SMILING AND DANCING AND HAVING A GRAND TIME!
NOW TIME TO DRUG THEIR DRINKS AND MAKE THE SUFFER FOR BLAMING SHIT ON US!
. . .
I am joking about that.
Maybe.
Heck, even Shouta has a small smile in the back with Hizashi! If you can get Mister Depresso to smile, you did something right!
Yas yas yas!
As a bonus, I see my mom in the crowd crying and smiling all at once, so I think we nailed the head on this one!
---
"Thanks for not messing it up, Izuku, " Jiro says after the concert as we are starting to clean up. And when I mean we, I mean they because I have shit to do.
"Thanks for having so much trust in me! I wish I could help, but I have to go show off my arm! CAT, listen to anyone in class 1-A for now except Kacchan." I exclaim the first part with slight sarcasm as she was totally against me before. Whatever. CAT meows and goes to do its thing.
As I am about to leave, a crowd of students appears in front of the door. More specifically, regular looking girl and a guy with an extra-large chin that would make kissing awkward are leading the way. However, they hide in the back, so I don't know?
Extra-chin guy speaks up like he is about to sell us the good cush, "Yeah...it was fun...good job." Too bad it's the dollar-store brand!
Then the girl starts up, "Sorry!"
Then one plus one equals two, "We watched it to criticize it! I'm really sorry!"
They run off like fucking pussies.
"I think we proved them bitches wrong!" I announce to class 1-A.
Kirishima looks at the dirt track in confusion, "I wonder if this is what Mister Aizawa was talking about when he said some people were stressed about the situation." Oh, so he did tell them! I'm surprised because he indeed told us shit about the UA rumble during the provisional exam, but oh well!
"Probably. Anyway, I should get going-"
"Izu!" What's that? I turn towards the sound to see Eri running at me with Mirio follow after.
I offer a broad smile, "Hey, Eri! Did you enjoy the show?" I ask as I bend down to her height.
"Uh-huh! I loved when- " Eri continues going over every detail of the show, but the whole display is fucking adorable as she smiles and moves around.
If we had more kids like her, depression would not exist.
Depression: Exists.
Eri: I am about to end this whole boy's career.
I give a thumbs up to Mirio as she finishes talking after a minute.
"I'm glad, sweets!" I say to her as I stand up.
"Hey, Problem Child! We are about to go watch the fashion show. Would you like to come to watch it with us?" Mirio asks as he extends an invitation.
"I wish. I have to prepare for my invention presentation," Eri gives me a frown, and it has the same power as a nuclear bomb, " Don't worry, Eri! I have something special planned for you after that, alright?" That brings a sparkle in her eyes again.
"What is it, Problem Child?" Fuck you, Shouta, for giving him that name.
"It's a surprise, " I check, "Oh flip, I need to run! See you soon, darling!"
I zoom off to the support lab to get ready.
---
"Okay, Izuku. You are demonstrating a prosthetic arm. You are not putting on a show, and you have no reason to explode ANYTHING," Maijima explains to me slowly and thoroughly before I go out. Currently, Mei is starting shit on the stage, but he seems more concerned with me at the moment.
"Why are you telling me this?" I ask out of curiosity.
"If you go out there and do the same thing, I will have no stage left. We only put you and Hatsume first because you two have the most eye-catching gadgets. Otherwise, I would have put you two last."
"Offended. Someone has to keep your audience awake for the first ten minutes!"
"Izuku, promise me you won't do anything out of wack."
"I don't have any loose screws, so I don't think so!" Get it? Because I am in the support lab, and there are screws everywhere.
. . .
Kill me!
Anyway, Mei comes out with her giant robot, that I helped to program, covered in grease.
Maijima looks so done, "Izuku, just go."
"Sir, the stage is on fire." I point out reluctantly, and I am not lying. He seems to realize the problem, groans, and has multiple support students come to put it out.
Five minutes later, and the stage is mine!
I walk out on stage with a long black cloak covering the top portion of my body. I mean, you need a surprise factor. I look out at the crowd to see multiple traumatized faces.
Good.
There are two noteworthy people here: my Mom because she is supportive AF now, and, surprisingly, Shouta. I knew Mom would come, but not him.
Huh. Alright then.
I go to the center of my stage to start the show,
"Hello, everybody! I am Midoriya Izuku from somewhere because I am pretty much everywhere. Today, I believe I have a revolutionary invention that can and will help many people!
Don't worry, I am not starting fires! That's Hatsume's thing.
As most of you know, taxes are horrible. They are like Cardi B to Nicki Minaj: they are just trash, and nobody wanted them. However, we have to pay them. In some cases, money is tight, so you have to compensate with something else.
In my case, it's my right arm from the elbow down!
We do have prosthetics that can do the job, but they don't exactly work the same as your average arm. It takes time and training to get used to, and I have more important things to worry about than my own limb.
That's why I made my own prosthetic arm!"
I rip the cloak off to reveal the robotic arm while shirtless. Well, not shirtless. I have a partial black shirt from my pecs up with a short-sleeve that makes sure the arm doesn't fall off. Other than that, you can see my abs.
"I will give you guys and ladies a moment to recover from this marvelous sight," One moment of silence later, " Alright then! This arm works exactly as an arm attached to your limb would do as I will demonstrate. Hey Mom, I love you!" I scream to her as I wave with my robo arm.
"LOVE YOU TOO, SWEETIE!" Mom yells from the back. Such a supportive mom most of the time!
"That's my mom, and if you mess with her, I will show this down your throat!
Anyway, I promise you that it can do much more from holding things to writing to lifting to suffocating someone!
Ignore that final part!" As I say each thing besides the last part, I do as I say without a problem, "All is this is happening by wearing a headset that tracks my brain activity of what would be my right arm. It then transfers those signals to the arm to do the same thing."
Then, I take a serious turn,
"I don't think a lot of people realize this, but losing a limb is traumatizing, and, overall, is a horrible experience to go through. To have to learn how to use a new arm just makes the situation worst. With this, it relieves some of the burdens one will have to go through. People don't have to dramatically change their lives anymore to adapt. They can now go to a healthy life quicker than they would have before with less stress.
It will take some getting used to, but I believe that this is the next big thing.
Now, any questions?"
Geez, that's a lot!
After answering questions for a few minutes, I return to the backstage to see Maijima looking relieved, "Thank you for not destroying the stage."
"I mean, I can if you want-"
"No! You're good, Izuku! You're free to go!" Pushy.
I have shit to start anyway, so he can suck my pee-pee there. I take off my robotic arm and go to do my grand scheme.
---
I speed walk to one of the stands where I find Ochaco, and, without slowing down, I throw her over my left shoulder and start carrying her back to base.
I'll worry about bleaching myself later; this is something that needs to be done.
"Izuku! What are you doing?!" Ochaco squeaks. Don't worry, everybody; we are good friends! This is absolutely normal!
"I need you for something vital in my life," I respond.
"You could have just asked me to come, and I would have!"
"But this is more dramatic. However, I will put you down as I don't want the feminist after me, nor do I want to mess up my shoulder." I set her down gently.
"Thank you! So, what are we doing?"
"You know where the support lab is, right?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Go there. I need to pick up two other people."
"Literally?"
"One, yes. The other is taller than me, so it won't work."
"Gotcha! See you in a bit!"
---
"Shinso, you have five seconds to come with me, or else I will tell Shouta about how you want him to be your father." Shinso holds his hands up innocently.
"Okay then, this is a kidnapping now."
"Go to the support lab. I still have one more person to get."
---
I zoom past Mirio, pick Eri up as gently as possible, set her on my hip, and run into the crowd before Mirio has a chance of getting me.
"Izu!" Eri exclaims as she clings to me. Thankfully, she is small, so I can carry her as a child should be held as long as I lean back a bit while running. Also, Mister Stub helps a little bit.
"What's up, Eri? We have shit to do!" I tell her as I continue to zoom.
"Where are we going?"
"Remember that special thing I told you about? We are doing it now. Tell me about what you've done."
Eri starts excitable telling me about what she has done until we arrive at the support lab where I see Shinso, Ochaco, and Mei.
"Izuku, is this Eri?" Ochaco asks as she approaches.
"Yip yip! Everyone, this is Eri. Eri, this is Ochaco Uraraka, someone who came to help save you, Shinso, and Mei Hatsume. Alright, Mei, we have everything ready to go?"
Mei nods, "There should be no problems!"
"Alright! So everyone here is now part of the new squad! As the new squad, we start trouble! Mei, pass out the jackets!" I set Eri down as everyone is given a glittery jacket of their corresponding color: Mei is gold, Ochaco is purple, Shinso is purple, Eri is red, and I am green! I help Eri put hers on before getting my own on.
Shinso looks at me with a blank face, "You have way too much free time if you came up with this."
"But it looks good on you, babe!" He raises an eyebrow.
"I thought you were after Todoroki."
"I keep my options open! Now, taxi o waxy come out!" Suddenly, four light-up flashing taxis come out of the garage with railings on top of them roll out in a line and stop in front of us, "Alright, everyone get on top of one! Mei, you're the end. Shinso, second to last. Ochaco, second to first. Eri, you and are on the first. Come along now!"
Ochaco asks, "Wait, who's driving?"
"Robots, now get on! Eri, you climb the ladder first, " Eri snaps out of her star-struck face as she climbs up. I follow quickly after and pick her up so she can see as high as possible.
"Please tell me you put a speed limit!"
"I kind of had to, Ochaco. I don't want to get blood on the cars." She facepalms at the message, but it's true! "Are we ready to go?"
I look back to see everybody nodding.
"Yeah!" Oh my gosh, Eri. You are going to kill me.
Now before I start this, I just want to mention what not sleeping can get you.
I programmed all these cars to go a specific route, to stop for pedestrians, and to light-up on the beat of the music they will play. I also had to rebuild these cars because I found them in a dump and light them up.
Yeah, I have too much free time.
"Route start now!" I demand my visor.
The taxis start moving slowly as they come out of the labs onto the roads. However, everything changes when the music comes on.
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
The cars start flashing as we shove our way through the walkways. As nobody can guess this song from that, I'll show the next lyrics.
When you're feelin' sad and low
We will take you where you gotta go
Smilin', dancin', everything is free
All you need is positivity
If you don't recognize that, you need some culture. It's 'Spice Up Your Life' by the Spice Girls! I thought it made perfect sense here because A: It's appropriate for Eri and B: It's a fucking fantastic song! The reason I did taxis is that at the Spice Girl's reunion, they sang this song while standing on top of cars.
I start dancing because Eri will know how to dance.
Colors of the world
Spice up your life
Every boy and every girl
Spice up your life
People of the world
Spice up your life
Aah
I can see the people looking at us like we are insane, but Eri is smiling and having the time of her life, so FUCK THEM!
Slam it to the left
If you're havin' a good time
Shake it to the right
If ya know that you feel fine
Chicas to the front
Ha ha (uh uh)
Go round
This was so worth it! We continue rolling around until the route brings us back to the beginning.
"WE HAVE MARKED OUR PLACE AS THE SQUAD!" I yell as I climb down with Eri.
"I can't believe we did that, " Shinso gasps out.
"I do!" Mei responds with a bright smile.
Ochaco watches the cars go back in their place, "Wait, what's going to happen to the cars?"
I hum, "I'll use them for something else. Now before I get my booty kicked, I am going to return Eri to Mirio! Thanks for the help, and see ya!"
I carry Eri out of the support lab and return her to Mirio.
Then, I find Mom, introduce her to Eri, and we go around and make the stalls rich as I am a literal vacuum when it comes to food.
---
It's currently evening, and Eri is about to be returned home.
Of course, I am not going to let her go home without a little present. I dash to my dorm, grab something, and come back to the gate as quickly as possible. At the entrance, Mirio is telling his good-byes as Shouta waits as he is the one that has to return her to the hospital.
I bend down to her height and hand her a candy apple, "Hey, I remember you saying that you like apples, so I decided to upgrade you to a candy apple! I hope you had fun today, and I'll convince them to let you out soon, alright?"
Eri looks at the apple with a sparkle in her eyes and takes it, "Thank you, Izu!"
"No problem! Bye, Eri, and cause havoc!"
Shouta sighs behind her before taking her hand and leading her away.
I take a picture of them for blackmail before going back in because there is one more thing I need to do.
---
"Izuku, what did you do?"
"Well, there was a lot of leftover food, so I decided to take all of it."
This is a conversation between Shouta and me as we look at the piles of food filling my dorm countertops.
LOOK! YOU CAN'T EXPECT ME TO IGNORE FOOD! I WILL TAKE IT ALL AND EAT IT IN A SINGLE NIGHT IF I HAVE TO!
Shouta sighs deeply, "Kid, you're not eating all of this tonight."
"Does that mean you are joining me?"
"No. I saw what you ate today. We're going to work out than sleep."
"BORING!"
"Should have thought of that before binging out at every stall."
"RUDE!"
After a fun day, I had to deal with a dull evening of being bossed around by Shouta.
Boo!
