I Just Walk Away
Chapter 162
Previous Chapter!
Melissa Shield the current holder of One For All, the heroine Strong Heart, is suspended in a anti gravity chamber that made her super strength completely useless, combine with the room being little more than a bounce house. If she does get free, with how the chamber was made, and super strong hits she uses on the chamber will just cause her to bounce off of it. And that there are auto guns and eyebots in the chamber with her watching her. She still couldn’t believe who had captured her, the one responsible for all the attacks that happen around Japan.
The chamber door open and in came the supervillain, The Mechanist who has created an army of robots which are terrorizing Japan, killing everything in their path, while he simultaneously broadcasts a message with his array of Eyebots telling the people of Japan of the horrors he’s going to unleashed on Japan. No one knew where he came from or who he is, underneath his power armor he wears. All that is known is his hatred of Japan and the heroes that protect it. Till she faced off against him and knocked off his helmet revealing who he is, to her and the others with her. She remembers the looks of shocks and horror on the faces of the former students of U.A. who recognized their old friend, right before she was knocked out. (1)
“Melissa, you have force me to changed my plans and my big reveal, but out of all the people who could had exposed my identity. I am glad that it’s you. You’re the only one left, who I still see as a friend,” Mechanist said as a host of eyebots broadcast this scene online for the world to see.
“Izuku what happen to you?” Melissa asked staring at the scarred face of her old friend.
“What did they told you what happen to me?” Izuku asked.
“All Might told me that you were falsely accused of being a spy for All For One. You were imprisoned but later released when the real spy was found, Yuga Aoyama. You just walked away and disappeared afterwards,” Melissa said.
“So they didn’t told you what really happen and why Eri and my mother are dead,” Izuku said.
“What happen?” Melissa asked.
“Why don’t I put on a show for you and all the people watching,” Izuku said as music began playing and he began singing.
Images appeared on a screen in front of Melissa, showing Izuku at home with his mother, joined by Eri who came with him from the school. A knock at the door and Eri went to answer it, where Eraser Head once the door was open grabbed her and ran off. Behind him came Izuku’s classmates and class B.
It's time you learned a lesson
It's time that you understand
Don't ever count on anybody else
In this or any other land
The students attacked Izuku who fought back while shouting what’s going on. Inko tried to defend Izuku but was tossed aside where she fell on the kitchen table and was impaled on a knife she was using to cut some meat. Izuku fought his way out and ran out heading towards the woods.
I once hoped for friendship
To find a place among my kind
But those were the childish wishes
Of someone who was blind
Izuku ran through the streets fighting off his classmates who continue to chase after him. Mei Hatsume appeared using her latest gadgets trying to capture him. Other pro heroes also appeared all going after him, as he continues to shout what’s going on.
Open up your eyes
See the world from where I stand
Me among the mighty
You caged at my command
He ran into the woods dodging his fellow heroes, still he was trap by the air barriers made from Kosei and his feet’s sank into the ground thanks to Juzo.
Open up your eyes
Give up your sweet fantasy land
It's time to grow up and get wise
Come now, little one
Open up your eyes
Seeing Izuku stuck, Katsuki, Shoto, Yuga, Denki, Kyoka, Pony, Manga, Nejire, Momo with a rocket launcher, and Mei with her own rocket launcher, all fired at Izuku at once. Eri who has escaped from Eraser Head jump in front of Izuku shouting for them to stop attacking her daddy.
We all start out the same
With simple naïve trust
Shielded from the many way
That life's not fair or just
Eri’s horn is thrown into Izuku’s by the blast, which he caught in his hands. His face lock in horror as all the others around him.
But then there comes a moment
With simple truth that you must face
If you depend on others
You'll never find your place
The scene changed to Izuku in a cell, with flashes of scenes showing All Might taking back One For All and no one believing him. Then changed to the door of his cell opening and him being freed while Yuga is imprisoned as the real traitor. Izuku stands in front of the graves of Inko and Eri.
And as you take that first step
Upon a path that's all your own
You see it all so clearly
The best way to survive is all alone
The others who were all against him, tried to talk to him, but the damage was done. He just walked away from them and headed away from the city that he once called home.
Open up your eyes
See the world from where I stand
Me among the mighty
You caged at my command
Scenes showing him using his knowledge of both the underworld and the heroes to gain the resources he needs. A drug deal is stop as Izuku guns down all the people in the warehouse, he picked up the briefcase full of money and the drugs to sell later.
Open up your eyes
And behold the faded light
It's time to grow up and get wise
Come now, little one
Open up your eyes
Scenes flash showing Izuku building his first robots and designing his power armor. Soon he stood in front of a mass of robots all under his control. And unleashed them upon Japan.
Open up your eyes
Izuku ended his song and look upon Melissa who has tears running down her cheeks.
“How could they? How could they just turn on you like that?” Melissa asked.
“Eraser Head found my notebook on the quirks of the teachers and students. That was all the proof he needed to label me as the traitor, and was good enough for everyone else. They tried to apologize for what they did, but there’s nothing they can do but die by my hands to make up for betraying me and killing both my mother and Eri,” Izuku said.
“Then do it,” Melissa said.
“What?” Izuku asked looking at her.
“Do it, and don’t get anyone else caught up in your revenge. Just kill them and get it over with and leave everyone else who has nothing to do with it alone,” Melissa said.
“Aren’t you suppose to be the hero? The next symbol of peace?” Izuku asked.
“And this way has the fewest people caught up in your revenge. If they are truly heroes they will just go and face you somewhere where no one else be caught up in it. They are the ones who cause all of this to happen. So they should be the ones who finish this. One way or another,” Melissa said.
“Very true,” Izuku said thinking it over. “I’ll make the arrangements but for now you’re staying here so you won’t be showing up at the last minute and save the day. I setup a dead man switch that will free you and deactivate my defenses if I’m killed. After all you’re my only friend I have left from the old days.”
“Thank you Izuku, I wish that I could had known what happen to you. I could had come and be there for you when you were released. Someone who you can trust,” Melissa said.
“That would had made all the difference. Having someone who I could trust with me,” Ozuku said leaving the room and his last friend behind.
