Chapter 30 - Aftermath

After the Nomu is defeated, the authorities and backup heroes arrive within ten minutes as Micah falls unconscious from pushing beyond.

Of the 40 students at the training camp, nearly half were unconscious because of the poison gas covering a large part of the forest. A small portion was unaffected if scared, with the rest needing medical care.

Of the teachers, Pixie-Bob was the only one who needed medical care, but Ragdoll had been stolen along with one student, Katsuki Bakugo.

Waking up in the hospital was starting to get old.

I didn't mind having Sasha on my chest, though, as I tried not to wake her up. Deciding to check out what the Gacha gave me right before I passed out, I was pleasantly surprised. Of course, there was the Diamond Ticket for the USJ Nomu, and a Gold one for killing a bunch of other Nomu as well.

I also got another Gold ticket for defeating Moonfish, yet I only got two silver tickets for taking out Spinner and Magne. I guess he was more dangerous. I would have liked to get a ticket for rescuing Shoto, but I was happy with what I got in the end. 'Spin ' em

[Spinning, spinning, spinning, done!]

[Fate Draw]

|Rare Ability|

Allows you to roll a random number out of 22 and invoke the effect of whichever Major Arcana Tarot Card it landed on. Cooldown: 120 Hours

It could be useful, I guess? I probably wouldn't use it, though. I would at least try it out, though.

[Door Crossing]

|Uncommon Ability|

Re: Zero - Allows you to create indoor portals out of the doors and entrances inside a building. Allowing you to teleport yourself and others from door to door, allowing you to either quickly traverse the people or prevent others from leaving.

Now this could be useful. Especially if U.A was invaded, I could get everyone safely out while keeping the villains in! Unless they broke through a wall, I guess? Now for the Gold tickets!

[Spinning, spinning, spinning, done!]

[Sugar Rush]

|Uncommon Ability|

MHA - You can consume sugar to gain temporary super strength equal in duration to the amount of sugar you have consumed, but after it fades, you suffer from a massive sugar crash.

Really dude? I already know someone who has this, and it's alright, but not worth a Gold ticket.

[Beauty Perfume]

|Uncommon Item|

A bottle of pink perfume that amplifies your attractiveness to the opposite gender.

I will be using this. Probably only around Sasha, though. Now for the Diamond Ticket!

[Lil' Nurgle]

|Epic Familiar|

Warhammer 40k - What if you took one of the all-powerful Chaos Gods and sent them back down to Level 1? You get Lil' Nurgle! This Chaos God shrunk down is a master of poisons, decay, and toxicity, being able to concoct the most foul of cocktails. Lil' Nurgle is also a bringer of new life; however, being able to use their speciality in unique, creative ways to also cure and create life. They start weak for an Epic familiar(Roughly Rare in power), but as long as they perform actions that align with their existence, they can slowly level back up. Just don't expect them to reach their original power anytime soon.

. . .

WTF?! WHY IS HE HERE, AND WHY THIS ONE OUT OF ALL THE ONES I COULD HAVE GOTTEN?!

If there was anything I would LOVE to give back, it would be this thing. I'd much rather have Khorne or Tzeen, well, no. No no no no no, NO.

None of them is good, especially Tzeentch and Slaanesh. Those two are particularly strange creatures. If one could describe the four chaos gods in four, it would be rage, ick, white mystery, and white mystery.

Sasha must have felt my heartbeat racing from the horror of having a MINI CHAOS GOD IN MY FAMILIAR SPACE, because she finally woke up.

"Are you ok?" I asked, and she nodded. "Just tired, we all are. It's been a few hours since the attack." I set my head back as she got off of me and stretched. I seemed to have gotten my own room in the hospital, so I got up and used the bathroom before coming back to find Shoto and Momo had appeared.

"Thank goodness you're ok." Momo jumped forward and gave me a squeezing hug. I patted her back awkwardly as Sasha and Shoto looked mildly amused. I ignored them for now as Momo let go, and I sat next to Sasha on the bed.

"Is everyone else ok?" They then filled me in on everything that had happened. Most of the students and teachers got away with little to no injury; only Izuku and Pixie-Bob needed real care.

As I tried not to yawn for the third time, Sasha chased them out and told them to go visit others. She then had to let them back in since no one else could be visited this late at night. I, for one, didn't care and let them pick what couch they wanted to crash on before going over to Sasha.

"What?" I said nothing as I picked her up and carried her over to the bed. I just held her close, and I fell back to sleep, briefly hearing Shoto and Momo tease Sasha about something before sleep overcame me.

I woke up a few hours later with Sasha awake and still in my arms. Shoto and Momo were still here, but more had joined us in the form of Kirishima and Mina. "Hey man, glad to see you're ok!" Kirishima nearly shouted before Mina shushed him.

As I watched them banter back and forth, I was distracted by something that flashed across my vision.

[Gift from beyond the veil, 1x Random Bronze Ticket] (BBWulf)

I was very confused, but I had more pressing things to deal with as more people walked in and I found out what they were planning. "We're going to rescue Bakugo, and we'd like your help," Izuku told me bluntly as a new headache set in.

"Since you've all come to me, I'm guessing I'm the tie-breaker? I'm also guessing you already have a way to track where Bakugo might be?" Momo nodded as she held up a tracker. "We've narrowed it down to Kamino. Ida, Shoto, Izuku, and I are going; the others want us to leave it to the Pros."

I excuse myself to the bathroom, not only to freshen up but also to calm down and think rationally. Plus one other thing. 'Spin it.'

[Spinning, spinning, spinning, done!]

[Tinker - Vehicles(I)]

|Common Ability|

This tinker ability makes you supernaturally good at designing, modifying and building Vehicles. The vehicles you build are certainly marvels of engineering and maybe beyond, but they cannot go beyond the levels of your current world.

I was hoping for something more useful, but it'll have to do. Now for the real reason I was here. 

I already know where Momo's beacon goes: straight to the Nomu factory in Kamino, not to the bar where the League is keeping Bakugo, right where All For One is residing. As of right now, I have no surefire way to kill AFO; the best I can do is stall for time until All Might shows up, before striking the final blow.

There's a big problem with that, though. One, I would be putting myself and Sasha in danger since she would follow me regardless of what I say or do. Two, I don't have the added security of the Quirk Amplification Device anymore.

From what I remember, Izuku was in the hospital for maybe two days before the Kamino Incident. Even with the advanced facilities on I-Island, I'm not sure that David and Melissa could make another device, or that I could even convince them to.

Third, the second I appeared before the world, displaying powers that I shouldn't have, as well as being able to stand on equal ground with the Demon Lord, I won't ever have a moment of peace again. 

The media would tear me to shreds, the HPSC would try to place a collar on my neck or lock me up for 'illegal quirk usage'. The U.S would turn its attention to me once more, likely to demand my return to the mainland so they could fight over me as well.

The only way I could get out of this with my soul intact would be to stick with Nezu. I'd probably be stuck at U.A well after this mess blows over, I'd probably end up a teacher or something else limiting.

Unless I could escape this world altogether. I don't know what all hides within the Gacha; there might be something that lets me travel to other worlds, other realities where I wouldn't be hunted.

There was one other, darker route that I could think of, but I'd rather stand by Nezu, for now.

I emerged from the bathroom to find everyone staring at me, waiting for my answer.

"I'll do it. I'll help bring back Bakugo, but we do it my way."
