Chapter 20: 12-
"NOO! They're dismantling the precious baby!" Hatsume yelled when the Mark II was being dismantled.
"It's alright, Hatsume. At least they didn't dismantle Mark III-V suits." Melissa reassured.
"WAAAH!" Hatsume cried, much to everyone's annoyance.
01:10:02 - 01:10:13
"Oh no, it's just a pretty circular flashlight that is somehow attached to the s-of course it is the power source you degenerate!" Hatsume insulted the major who was asking whether the circular bright object was the power source.
"You can't really blame him since science and engineering aren't his expertise," Power Loader said. "Although his question is kinda irrelevant when the answer is quite obvious."
"Did sensei agree with me? Did you just agree with me, sensei?" Hatsume asked.
"Oh, I take back what I said." Power Loader said.
01:10:13 - 01:10:25
Most of the audience, especially Hatsume, groaned upon seeing Justin Hammer.
"I'm still pissed that out of all people capable on 'weaponizing' the Mark II baby… is the incompetent Hammer." Hatsume insulted.
"He currently has a villain pal who is building him some drones, and now, he has one of the Iron Man suits in his grasp. This is certainly bad." Melissa said.
01:10:25 - 01:10:35
"What do you think it is, Hammer? A rattlesnake?" Hatsume insulted.
'Sheesh, I should calm her down during break time.' Power Loader mentally said.
01:10:35 - 01:10:44
"Oh no, no, no, you're not upgrading the software! Do you remember what happened to your software?" Hatsume asked.
"Vanko hacked into his computer," Yaoyorozu answered. "Yeah, that isn't a good idea at all considering Vanko could probably control the suit."
"And not just that, Hammer could essentially copy the schematics of the suit and once he has the copy, he can successfully replicate the suit." Melissa added.
01:10:44 - 01:10:53
"All right, time to see the 'impressive' weapons that Hammer built." Power Loader said.
"They probably sucked, but I'm kinda curious to see his babies." Hatsume said.
"No matter how ineffective firearms are, they're still useful in battle." Snipe said as he leaned closer to the screen. "Impress me with your 'wonderful' firearms, Justin Hammer."
01:10:53 - 01:11:02
"Is he…? Are we in a commercial or something?" Fuyumi asked.
"It's common for weapon manufacturers to act like this," Shoto said. "I mean, Hatsume displayed the same thing to Iida during the Sports Festival."
"Please don't remind me of that embarrassing moment, Todoroki!" Iida begged.
"Oh, so you were that boy. I thought that was you." Hatsume said.
"Did you seriously forgot me again!?" Iida angrily questioned.
01:11:02 - 01:11:18
"Although he's incompetent, I admire his salesmanship," Power Loader said. "He seems to be experienced when giving an explanation to his weapons professionally."
Hatsume scoffed, "That's the only thing he's good at."
01:11:18 - 01:11:26
"Impressive. These weapons are useful for the Mark II suit," Snipe complimented. "The pistol, shotgun, and assault rifle are good for close to mid-range fights while the grenade launcher are good for dealing with riots or overwhelming enemies."
"The question is, do they work? Did Hammer even test these weapons before showcasing them?" Melissa askes.
"I assume he did, otherwise, his contract will officially be revoked by the military." Power Loader said.
"It's going to be revoked either way since he's working with a villain." Hatsume said.
"That too."
01:11:26 - 01:11:32
"That isn't true," Snipe said. "The size of the weapon doesn't matter as long as you know how to use them. A penny could even be used as a weapon despite its small and weak stature."
"That's a good advice, Snipe," Midnight said. 'If only you know what Hammer actually meant. Kinky.'
01:11:32 - 01:11:46
"What kind of names did he give to the minigun?" Uraraka asked while holding her laughter from the name Uncle Gazpacho and Puff the Magic Dragon.
"At least these horrible names are much better than what Hatsume calls her… babies." Power Loader said.
"Hey! What's wrong with my babies, sensei!?" Hatsume asked.
"Everything, Hatsume! Everything!"
01:11:46 - 01:12:00
"What…? What did he say?" Kaminari asked.
"He's talking about cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine, or RDX for short. It's an explosive nitroamine," Yaoyorozu answered. "It is considered to be one of the most powerful military explosive, and has a tremendous force shattering effect from the sudden release of energy."
'That was a mouthful!' The entire audience, including Kiddo and Ragdoll, mentally yelled.
"Huh?" Kaminari questioned.
Bakugo groaned, "She meant TNT duncehead, but much stronger than a regular ones!"
"All right, all alright. I was just asking." Kaminari pouted.
01:12:00 - 01:12:13
Bakugo smirked about the capabilities of the small missile, "Now that's a challenge!"
"He's a bit exaggerating about the missile… I think?" Power Loader said.
01:12:13 - 01:12:31
The entire audience roared in laughter when the name of the small missile was called the "Ex-Wife".
"I'm not gonna lie, I give him that," Aizawa said while desperately trying to hold his laughter. 'I can't believe I almost laugh at that.'
"Rhodey is even holding back his laughter at the name." Toga said while maniacally laughing.
"He should've came up with a better name than that." Melissa said while pounding her chest to prevent her from laughing.
"Hey, you guys never had ex-spouses so you wouldn't understand," Kiddo said. "I mean, me and my wiv-I mean wife are still together but they're terrifying as f*ck!"
'I forgot that he has a wife… so annoying!' Mineta mentally said before realizing the deity's statement. 'Wait… was he about to say wives!? WHAT THE F*CK!?'
'These poor boy doesn't know that I can read his mind lol.'Kiddo mentally said while giggling.
01:12:31 - 01:12:52
"Now that's what I'm talking about!" Bakugo approved when Rhodey accepted all the showcased firearms.
"I'm not sure if it's a good idea to placed all of the weapons in the suit," Snipe said. "Although the firepower is impressive, the suit will be definitely slower than the usual Iron Man suits."
"Who cares!? As long as there's explosions then it's a masterpiece!" Bakugo stated.
"His explosion addiction is showing again." Kirishima said.
"Yep." Kaminari agreed.
"What did you say to me, extras!?" Bakugo angrily asked but everyone ignored him.
01:12:52 - 01:13:05
"That's the exact same blueprint that Vanko had," Midoriya said. "It seems that Howard didn't confiscate the blueprint."
"It's probably because Anton managed to hide it before he was caught," Melissa said. "Or maybe Howard allows him to keep it since it was supposed to be deemed useless anyway."
"Until his son managed to create a replica." Iida said.
01:13:05 - 01:13:34
"Wait. Haven't we already seen this footage in the beginning?" Kaminari asoed when the footage of Howard Stark from the Stark Expo was played again.
"They're must be something in the footage that is hidden like easter eggs in video games," Midoriya said as everyone looked at him. "What? I loved playing video games."
"Sorry, Deku. We're just surprised since you aren't the type to play games." Uraraka said.
Midoriya smiled, "Appearance can be deceiving."
01:13:34 - 01:13:56
"Oh, it's a bloopers reel!" Kaminari said when Howard Stark made a mistake on his lines.
"I seriously can't see how this would help Stark with his cure." Awase said.
"Patience, my young Padawan." Kendo said which made some of her classmate laugh from the Star Wars reference.
"Seriously?"
01:13:56 - 01:14:09
"It's Stark as a child! So adorable!" Ashido said.
"Aww! Look at kid Tony…" Hagakure said.
"How did he get from being adorable to being a jerk wad like Bakugo?" Jiro asked.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" Bakugo angrily asked.
"It's probably because of how he was raised," Yaoyorozu said. "Since his parents died at a young age, he thought that he has the world in his grasp until his captivity in Afghanistan he began to change."
"I wonder what would happen if the Stark we saw in the beginning of the first Iron Man movie met the current one." Uraraka wondered.
"He'll probably refute and treated the whole conversation as a joke." Kendo answered.
"DON'T F*CKING IGNORE ME!" Bakugo yelled.
01:14:09 - 01:14:20
"Now I can see why Stark thought that his father was harsh on him." Natsuo said when Howard ordered one of the staff to carry him off.
"Howard was busy with recording a footage and Tony ruined the take, so his father's actions are justified here ribbit." Asui said.
"But it doesn't mean you should be harsh on your child just because you have an important business." Hagakure said.
'This is why Nana sent her son in the orphanage because she wouldn't have time on taking care of him,' All Might mentally said as he stared at Shigaraki. 'And now, her grandson became a villain because of that decision. I should've stopped her before, but I was too young to understand at that time.'
01:14:20 - 01:14:32
"So that's where Stark gets his drinking problems from." Makoto said when Howard was drinking a beer.
"There's nothing wrong with drinking as long as you don't overdo it." Kurogiri adviced.
"I'd rather drink chocolate milk than alcohol," Kiddo said as everyone stared at him. "What? I like milk."
01:14:32 - 01:14:46
Most of the audience chuckled when Howard made an inappropriate joke because of a mistake he made.
"And I thought the old man would be more matured than his son." Sero said.
"This reminds me the time when I have to memorize my hero lines and failed miserably during my prime days," All Might said. "Now, I gained confidence to speak on my mind without relying on a piece of paper."
"My father still has those recordings, Uncle Might. Should I reveal it to eve-?" Melissa teasingly asked as All Might repeatedly waved his hands.
"Please don't." All Might begged.
01:14:46 - 01:14:55
"The pages have already ended, yet he didn't find anything useful for his condition." Honenuki said.
"What is he going to do now?" Uraraka worriedly asked.
Shigaraki laughed, "Absolutely nothing! Face it, he's a dead man!"
"Are you sure about that?" Mr. Compress asked.
01:14:55 - 01:15:12
"Huh? What's going on?" Hagakure asked.
"He's leaving a message to his son." Midoriya said. "The question is why?"
"Maybe Howard will reveal the replaceable element for palladium." Shoji answered.
"Probably."
01:15:12 - 01:16:00
The audience felt heartwarming from Howard's speech. Most of them almost cried when Howard told his son that his… was him. They didn't expect that the cold calculated man that Stark described actually cared for him.
Shoto understood Stark when he revealed that his father's greatest memory was shipping him into boarding school which is similar to how his old man's greatest memory was his Quirk, not him. When Endeavor became the Number One Hero, he started to care for him and his family which was an unexpected development. After hearing that Howard loved Stark despite his cold attitude, he wondered whether his father truly loved him and his siblings deep down. He plans to have a conversation with his father when they return to their world.
Shigaraki felt envious that Howard Stark loved his son despite being cold with him. Before he was adopted by All For One, his old man abused him whenever he mentions about heroes. He didn't show any remorse or guilt, and he never showed his love to him ever since he was born. Due to the jealousy between Howard and Tony, his hatred for Iron Man increased exponentially and wished he would die now!
Eri deeply misses her father after hearing Howard's words. She wanted to feel her father's love and comfort before his inevitable demise which is caused by her own Quirk accidentally. If she grew up and became a hero like Lemillion and Deku, she wondered if her father would be proud of her.
"That was… truly inspiring." Kodai said while wiping off the tears from her eyes.
"Stark is now motivated to find the new element!" Hagakure said. "I guess a push from his father's love was all he needed."
"Just like how a real parent should act to their children." Kiddo said.
Toga scoffed, 'If only my parents supported me when I manifested my Quirk. They treated me like a monster since I was four. The only ones who truly treated me like a family were my highschool friends and the League. I wonder how my friends are doing now.'
01:16:00 - 01:16:07
Aizawa sighed, "As usual, Stark went beyond the perimeter."
"Are you really that surprised, Shota?" Midnight asked. "He has no respect for authority so why should he listen some men in black?"
"I know. He wouldn't be arrested anyway since he could just pay the police with his money." Aizawa said.
'It's such a waste of money.' Uraraka mentally said.
"I can't wait for Coulson tase him and watch supernanny! NO! IT'S NANNY MCPHEE! WAIT… WHAT!?" Twice said.
01:16:07 - 01:16:11
"I forgot he can speak other languages," Present Mic said when Stark spoke in Spanish to the strawberry vendor. "It's quite surprising really."
"How is that possible!?" Mineta angrily asked.
"Dedication, patience, and de-." Todoroki was interrupted by Mineta.
"You already told me that!"
01:16:11 - 01:16:16
"He's giving away his expensive watch for a box of strawberries? That strawberry vendor is very lucky to meet him." Uraraka said while her eye was twitching.
"I can't tell whether he is being charitable or he literally forgot to bring his wallet," Yaoyorozu said. "At least he's being compassionate since food vendors only earned a little bit of money everyday."
Spinner scoffed, 'Now he's acting like a hero? Please, false heroes always act compassionate to others to gain their trust and support. That's what he's doing now.'
01:16:16 - 01:16:29
"It's nice that there are still people who support him despite everything that happened." Fuyumi said.
01:16:29 - 01:16:32
"She must be talking about the Mark II suit that Rhodey stole." Yaoyorozu said.
"Well, Rhodey indeed stole the suit illegally since Stark didn't give a proper authorization to take it so Pepper is trying to take it back," Shinso said. "Since Hammer and the senator wouldn't allow it, they'll do everything in their power to keep the suit."
"It doesn't matter whether it was an illegal seizure or not since Stark indirectly gave the suit to Rhodey." Kirishima said.
"But to Pepper, he illegally stole without her former boss' permission so she's demanding for the suit to return to its rightful owner." Shinso said.
01:16:32 - 01:16:37
"Great! He has committed a crime! He trespassed… into his own company… without any… per… Is it illegal to trespass to your own building?" Iida asked.
"I have no idea. The teachers didn't say anything about that in General Education." Shinso answered. "Let's just say… it isn't. He still own the building, but he doesn't have the position of power anymore."
01:16:37 - 01:16:49
"Wonderful! More useless news that no one f*cking cares!" Toga yelled.
"He is already marking Stark as the bad guy without hearing the other side of the story," Makoto said. "I hate news reporter that blabbers anything they say without any proof."
"I'm pretty sure they already have the proof," Naomasa said. "But immediately commenting about the person without hearing their story is indeed too rational."
01:16:49 - 01:17:03
"Probably more than yours pal!" Hagakure said. "Pepper has been Stark's assistant since the beginning, so she was already a CEO when Stark was STILL the CEO at that time!"
"Yeah, what about you?" Ashido asked the news reporter. "All of you have been doing is sitting around in some fancy table while berating a person without hearing their stories."
"Wow, these two are really terrifying." All Might mumbled.
"That is one of the reasons why I despise the media so much," Aizawa said. "They always twist the stories that the person told them, like that reporter during Bakugo's kidnapping. I so badly wanted to punch him in the face."
"Thank goodness you didn't, otherwise, you would've ruined your reputation and the school's." Vlad said.
01:17:03 - 01:17:07
"Thank you!" Nejire said when Stark muted the television. "I couldn't stand that meanie anymore."
01:17:07 - 01:17:14
"Man, I may not be qualified but I can tell that running a company is hard." Kirishima said.
"Yeah, I suggest you continue doing hero work instead of leading a company, otherwise, it'll be your downfall… like my father." Melissa said in a sad tone as All Might patted her head.
'I was planning to run a manufacturing company once I became a well-known hero, but I'm worried if the board of directors will betray me. Should I still run a company?'Yaoyorozu mentally asked.
01:17:14 - 01:17:31
"Damn, she's mad." Tokage said.
"Considering Stark's actions from last night, I would've been too if I was in her position." Kendo said.
"Stark really pushed all of her buttons." Jiro said.
01:17:31 - 01:17:39
Makoto giggled, "She's actually counting down."
"She's such a sassy girl. I love it." Tokage said.
01:17:39 - 01:17:52
"Finally! He's going to tell her about his condition!" Hagakure said.
"Is it a good idea though? I mean, he's working on a possible cure for his poisoning so should he tell her about his condition before he's cured ribbit?" Asui asked.
"What if the cure doesn't work? Might as well tell her before it's too late." Hagakure answered. "Also, Pepper would understand why Stark acted like an idiot on his birthday."
"You're right, but I don't think that'll easily relinquish her anger." Shoda said.
01:17:52 - 01:17:57
Most of the audience chuckled when Stark was distracted by the spinning object. They wondered what was original purpose of the object. Is it to irritate others? Probably.
(What is the name of the spinning object anyway?)
01:17:57- 01:18:13
"Oh for the love of-! Spit it out already!" Ashido yelled.
"He's literally wasting his time on rattling nonsensical stuff," Jiro said. "I guess he's too nervous to tell her."
01:18:13 - 01:18:23
"Damn, she's brutal." Kirishima complimented. "I'm kinda worried now whether Stark will stay shut or he'll say 'I' one more time."
"Both of them." Tetsutetsu said.
01:18:23 - 01:18:27
"Of course he knows, he used to run the company you know!" Hatsume answered when Pepper asked Stark whether he knows about the entails.
"Are you sure he run the company? Or did Pepper overtook it because of his irresponsibility?" Yaoyorozu asked. "I'm pretty sure that Pepper did most of the office work while Stark did most of the inventing weapons and stuff."
"He still knows about it." Hatsume pouted.
01:18:27 - 01:18:36
"He's literally playing the stamp like a child while Pepper is giving a serious conversation," Midnight said. "I can feel her pain whenever I invited Aizawa to parties, but he isn't interested because 'he has something to do first'."
"That's a different subject, Nemuri." Aizawa said while his eyes are twitching.
"You're a party pooper, buddy." Present Mic said which made Aizawa grumble.
01:18:36 - 01:18:55
The entire audience facepalmed when Pepper said she was allergic to strawberries.
"Oh My God," Shiozaki said before realizing what she said. 'Please forgive me for using your name, my Lord.'
"How in the world did you forget that she's allergic to strawberries you barbarian!?" Ashido angrily askeed.
"I didn't know there was someone that could be a genius and a fool at the same time," Yaoyorozu said as she stared at Mineta. "Nevermind… but my point still stand."
"He gave his expensive watch to the food vendor for a box of strawberries, strawberries that Pepper is allergic to," Uraraka said. "It was such waste of an expensive watch…"
"At least he was being generous, but aside from that, yeah it was such waste of the watch… and waste of strawberries as well." Kendo said.
01:18:55 - 01:19:07
"Wow, she got us in first half, not gonna lie." Yanagi said.
"I feel bad for Stark because of that lol." Tokage said while giggling.
01:19:07 - 01:19:11
"Oh no, Stark is in big trouble…" Fuyumi said when "Natalie" entered the room.
"Let's just hope that she'll let him off for now," Melissa said. "He might've only broke the perimeter to reconcile his 'friendship' with Pepper and gets some fresh air."
"For them, that'll be a load of bullsh*t since they believed Stark isn't that type of person." Shoto said as his siblings were quite surprised that their little brother swore.
01:19:11 - 01:19:17
"Is it me or she's WAY hotter than before because of being a sp-!?" Mineta was cut off after Asui slapped his face with her tongue. "I was just complimenting her!"
"The way you said is too perverted," Asui answered. "If you wanna compliment a girl then speak naturally."
"That was MY natural voice!"
"Oh, my apologies then." Asui bluntly said, much to Mineta's annoyance.
01:19:17 - 01:19:26
"Even Happy is working for Pepper instead of Stark now." Uraraka said.
"After the events from last night, it's not surprising that he would switch sides," Thirteen said. "If I was in his position, I would've done the same."
"But he's supposed to be Iron Man's bodyguard," Hagakure said which caused some to snicker. "Okay, that last part sounds laughable but you know what I mean."
01:19:26 - 01:19:38
"Are you trying to blow her cover or something, Stark!?" Makoto angrily asked.
"I'm sure he's just playing around with her. He wouldn't stoop that low… probably." Ashido defended.
"Relax, everyone. It's not like Pepper or Happy knows about Natasha anyway," Hatsume reassured. "They wouldn't even bother to think about her being a secret agent, right?"
"That's a good point, but it doesn't mean he should make her suspicious to others," Shinso said. "Pepper already speculated that Natasha caused the chaos whenever she's around, but it seemed that was diminished because of Stark's idiocy."
01:19:38 - 01:19:49
"This isn't the time for jokes, Stark. If you want to tell her then tell her!" Tokage said.
Ojiro sighed, "His arrogance is keeping him from confessing the truth."
01:19:49 - 01:20:03
"I'm surprised as well." Aizawa agreed when Natasha was "impressed" that Stark could keep his mouth shut.
01:20:03 - 01:20:21
"Is that really what she said?" Yaoyorozu asked. "Are we going to decrypt that as well?"
"No, I can tell you," Kiddo answered. "She said that appearance can be deceiving."
'Didn't Deku said the same lines earlier? Or was it a coincidence?' Uraraka mentally questioned.
"It kinda fits her description honestly," Shoto said. "In the beginning, we thought she was an ordinary civilian who learned martial arts, but then, it was revealed that she's a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent that was tasked to observe Tony Stark and the Iron Man suit."
"Now I'm wondering whether the people we trust aren't what we thought they seem." Cementoss wondered.
"Also, I thought Stark could speak Latin so how come he didn't understand her?" Midnight said.
"He probably didn't learn it until later years, or he isn't fluent with the language yet." Present Mic answered.
01:20:21 - 01:20:37
Most of the audience laughed when Stark attempted to stop the spinning object from spinning but he failed and immediately gave up.
01:20:37 - 01:20:46
"That was such a waste of strawberries!" Sato and Lunch Rush yelled.
"He could've gave it to someone else instead of throwing them into the trash. I can't believe he ruined such perfect strawberries." Amajiki said while clenching his fist.
01:20:46 - 01:20:52
"Huh. Isn't that the same model that Howard showcased in the footage?" Kaminari asked.
"It is." Midoriya answered.
01:20:52 - 01:20:56
The Key to the Future
The geniuses in the audience understood the hint that his father gave him while others were confused. The answer of his cure is found within the old model.
01:20:56 - 01:21:12
"I see. The answer he is looking for is within the model." Midoriya noted.
"So that's what he meant by the 'key to the future' line," Shoto said. "It wasn't an exaggeration, it was a hint. And that hint is on the model."
"Howard is truly a gifted man at hiding the answers." Iida complimented.
"I don't understand." Uraraka said.
"The answer to his cure is found within the model," Yaoyorozu answered. "More specifically, the globe in the middle that Stark is eyeing on."
"It's so simple! Why didn't you get it!?" Bakugo angrily asked.
"Oh. I'm sorry for not being in the same league as you, Top 5." Kaminari sarcastically apologized.
"If you carefully observe and understand the story, then that brain of yours wouldn't betray you." Todoroki calmly insulted.
"Kuh. That was a critical hit." Kaminari said while clenching his chest.
01:21:12 - 01:21:20
"That isn't the best way to transport an old model." Melissa criticized.
"You should've get used to Stark by now," Shinso said. "He doesn't care about safety precautions as long as it's effective."
"But ge should be careful of transporting the model, otherwise, he'll lose his only chance of making the cure." Midoriya worriedly said.
01:21:20 - 01:21:40
"Amazing! He made a holographic recreation of the model so that he can view it easily!" Hatsume excitedly said as Melissa and Power Loader glared at her. "I so badly want to make it now! But I want to finish the iron baby first."
01:21:40 - 01:21:46
"Man, J.A.R.V.I.S. is such a sassy A.I.," Uraraka complimented. "I would love to have one of my own."
"We are still in development with true Artificial Intelligence in I-Island, so it's going to take years before we fully achieve it," Melissa answered, much to Uraraka's dismay. "If it weren't for the chaos and war when Quirks appeared for the first time, the technology of our world would've vastly improved."
"Yeah, I heard a rumor that there was a person who already discovered and created a fully functional A.I., but because of the Quirk War, the research was abandoned and most of the schematics were lost," Power Loader said. "The reason why our robots have A.I. within them is because of that unknown person."
"It's ashame that their creation was immediately diminished because of one catastrophic event." Hatsume said.
01:21:46 - 01:22:12
"No way… this isn't possible..." Yaoyorozu said.
"I know right!? This is exciting!" Hatsume said.
"I don't understand." Uraraka said.
"You'll find out soon enough." Yaoyorozu said.
01:22:12 - 01:22:33
The audience jaw dropped when Stark was rediscovering a new element.
"Is… is that even possible!?" Tsuburaba asked.
"That's what I said, but it seems it isn't," Yaoyorozu said. "Howard Stark discovered a new element in his time, but he lacked the equipment to create it which is why he's leaving it to his son."
"And this new element is going to save his life?" Tsunotori questioned.
"Maybe." Yaoyorozu answered.
"Howard Stark was quite a genius in the 70's. There's no wonder why he was a legendary inventor in that world," Melissa said. "If he existed in our world, my father would've idolized him as well."
"I'm curious to see his babies now." Hatsume admitted.
01:22:33 - 01:23:14
The entire audience were in awe when they saw the beautiful spherical web of neutrons and protons.
"Beautiful…" Melissa said while her eyes were covered with stars.
"I may suck at science and math, but that's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my entire life." Kaminari said.
"Howard Stark discovered the element back in the 70's, but he gave up on it because of the old technology. Then his son rediscovered it in 2010's," Power Loader said. "I can't believe that science in that world is much more evolved than our's."
'It's the same with the author's world as well.' Kiddo mentally said before staring at the author. 'Yeah, I can see you.'
Why did I bother on making you sentient?
'Because I'm awesome!' Kiddo mentally said before smirking.
Whatever. Let's just continue with the story.
"It shows how we heavily rely on our Quirks instead of improving our technology," Aizawa said. "If Quirks never existed, someone in our world might've discovered a new element and created a true artificial intelligence."
"Quirks are more important than some bullsh*t science." Bakugo mumbled.
"This is AMAZING! I wonder if I can create the new element as well!" Hatsume excitedly said. "Although, it's going to take forever for me to understand unlike Stark but I don't care as long as I achieve it!"
01:23:14 - 01:23:24
"Even as an adult, we still have something to learn." All Might said before chuckling when Stark said that his father is still taking him to school even though he is already dead.
"Yeah, we can never be free from lessons that our family and our teachers taught us." Naomasa said.
01:23:24 - 01:23:31
"That is so convenient," Shoji said. "The unknown element that his father discovered years ago would save his life. Who knew that destiny would intertwined with the two of them?"
"It's as if someone from above paved the road and they walked down that path." Uraraka said which caused Kiddo to spit out his drink.
'Did my ears deceived or did she really said that same exact line?' Kiddo mentally asked. 'Nah. It's probably a coincidence.'
"Does that mean Mr. Stark can be save?" Eri asked.
Mirio smiled, "Yes, Eri. He'll be cured from his sickness."
Shigaraki growled, 'That will not happen! This is cheating! Why can't these fools accept that he's going to die!?'
'Why can't you accept that he'll live?' Kiddo mentally asked.
01:23:31 - 01:23:35
Most of the audience facepalmed when J.A.R.V.I.S. said that the new element is impossible to synthesize.
"Of course. There will always be a problem in every good news." Kendo said which made Eri frowned and Shigaraki smiled.
"He just can't catch a break, can he?" Sato questioned.
'Yes! These fools will finally understand that he's going to die no matter what!' Shigaraki mentally said while cackling.
'So… Mr. Stark isn't going to live?' Eri mentally asked. 'No! I believe in Mr. Stark! He'll live and become Iron Man again!'
01:23:35 - 01:23:43
"You think Stark cares about the impossibility!? You're all wrong!" Hatsume yelled. "For a guy who created a mechanical suit in a cave with limited resources and armored suit that can fly and shoots laser, what's stopping him from creating the new element!?"
"All right, all right, Hatsume. Calm down." Power Loader said as Hatsume gasped for air.
"Does that means he'll find a way to 'synthesize' this new element?" Fuyumi asked.
"I believe so. I believe he already has a plan on how to achieve it." Melissa answered which made Eri smiled again.
'You can do it, Mr. Stark!' Eri mentally cheered.
Shigaraki growled, 'Impossible! He'll die! These idiots think that this new whatever can save him!? They're wrong! He'll slowly and painfully die like any heroes! Yes, I'll wait for that day! See you in hell, Stark!'
All For One stared at his star pupil, 'I guess he's having a tantrum huh. Kiddo shouldn't have removed some of Shigaraki's maturity but I guess he wanted to see his reaction or something like that.'
01:23:43 - 01:23:48
"W-W-What is he doing!?" Uraraka angrily asked which surprised everyone. "Why is he damaging his home!? It's such an expensive mansion with amazing luxury! Why is he destroying them!? Is it because he's rich!? Is that it!?"
'Uraraka is terrifying when it comes to expensive accessories or homes.' Midoriya and Iida mentally said in unison.
"Relax, Uraraka. There might be a reason why he's doing that ribbit," Asui reassured. "He mentioned 'remodeling', meaning it probably involves on synthesizing the element."
"It's still too… cruel…" Uraraka said.
01:23:48 - 01:24:04
"Damn, that's a lot of damage to the beautiful mansion." Kaminari said.
"Yeah… a lot…" Uraraka said as she was mentally screaming in her head.
"What kind of machine is he building anyway?" Melissa asked. "If it was a big one then he could've taken it outside."
"If he steps outside more time, Coulson might actually reprimand him," Shoto said. "Also, I don't think he has a large space outside of the mansion."
01:24:04 - 01:24:26
"Hol' up! Is he building a particle accelerator!? Seriously!? He's amazing!" Hatsume yelled.
"What is that?" Kaminari asked.
"An apparatus for accelerating subatomic particles to high velocities by means of electric or electromagnetic fields," Hatsume answered. "The accelerated particles are generally made to collide with other particles, either as a research technique or for the generation of high-energy X-rays and gamma rays."
Most of the audience groaned from the confusing and difficult explanation while Power Loader and Melissa facepalmed from the crazy inventor's complicated explanation again.
"Huh?" Kaminari questioned.
"Seriously, Hatsume. You should explain it in simpler terms," Melissa said. "A particle accelerator is a machine that accelerates elementary particles, such as electrons or protons, to very high energies."
"I still don't…" Kaminari was cut off by Midoriya.
"Basically, particle accelerators produce beams of charged particles that can be used for a variety of research purposes, right?" Midoriya simplified the explanation as Melissa and Power Loader nodded. "So Stark is using the particle accelerator to create the new element."
"Yes. Although he's building the smaller version of it instead of the original design." Melissa said.
'Damn, these geniuses are demons!' Kaminari and most of the students mentally yelled.
01:24:26 - 01:24:32
"Dude, that was a while ago. Where were you?" Ashido asked.
"He must've been busy if he didn't immediately return to the mansion," Midoriya said. "Well, at least Stark managed to find a hint without being caught by him."
"It was a lucky day for him." Komori said.
01:24:32 - 01:24:39
"It definitely works," Sero said. "He just needs to build the particle whatever to achieve it."
'Bullsh*t. It wouldn't work. He'll definitely die.' Shigaraki mentally reassured himself.
01:24:39 - 01:24:46
"That was an inappropriate way to shoo someone off." Makoto said.
"It's Stark. What did you expect?" Spinner asked.
"Well, it sounds something what Mineta would say as well." Asui said.
"Yea-Hey!" Mineta yelled.
01:24:46 - 01:24:51
The audience were filled with curiosity when Coulson pulled out an unfinished circular object that has the color of an American flag and a star in the middle.
"What is that?" Natsuo asked.
"It seems to be an unfinished shield with a white star and colored stripes of an American flag." Midoriya answered which made Melissa and Tsunotori smile.
"Whatever it is, Coulson seems to recognize it," Cementoss said. "Maybe the original object was once a property of S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
"That could be a possibility, but I feel like it's something more than that," Midoriya said. 'I have a feeling it's foreshadowing a hero story.'
01:24:51 - 01:24:55
"Is it me or Coulson is holding the shield as if it was sacred to him?" Fuyumi asked.
"Why would someone sees a useless weapon sacred!?" Bakugo asked. "He's just being careful because that… shield might've been important to him when he was a whiney child or something!"
"Yeah, but why would the shield be important to him when he was a 'whiney' child though?" Shoto asked. "There is definitely some behind-the-scenes going on with the unfinished shield."
'It's just a shield. What is so important about it?' Shigaraki mentally asked as he rolled his eyes. 'Heroes. They always exaggerate things that aren't true.'
'Huh? Didn't you exaggerated when you told everyone that the Nomu could kill All Might… easily?' Kiddo mentally said before chuckling. 'And he always claims that heroes are hypocrites when he, himself, is one as well.'
01:24:55 - 01:25:14
"Did Coulson forgot to reprimand him for breaking the perimeter?" Naomasa asked.
"Well, they would've already expected him to escape his home so why bother?" All Might said. "Plus, he immediately returned to his own home so there wouldn't need for a disciplinary action as long as he came back."
"That makes sense, but he should at least taser him as punishment," Naomasa said before realizing Stark's condition. "On a second thought, it isn't the best idea to tase him."
01:25:14 - 01:25:22
"Why is New Mexico called 'Land of Enchantment'?" Uraraka asked about the country's title.
"It's because the country is blessed with stunning desert landscapes, breathtaking snowcapped mountains, bubbling hot springs, and remarkable national monuments," Tsunotori answered. "With its mix of European American, Native American, and Mexican heritage, the state is a unique and colorful place to visit."
"You've been to that country before, Pony?" Awase asked.
Tsunotori nodded, "It's such a beautiful place. I recommend you all visiting there."
"Perhaps I shou-." Yaoyorozu said.
"I wouldn't recommend it since that country is filled with drugs and violence." Jiro whispered.
"Really?" Yaoyorozu whispered back.
"So I've been told." Jiro confirmed.
01:25:22 - 01:25:26
"It seems something eventful is happening in New Mexico that Director Fury mentioned about it earlier ribbit." Asui said.
"There might be a villain attack, but considering Director Fury wasn't alarmed that much earlier, then it's probably a minor problem." Naomasa said.
"Or maybe there's a new hero in that country." Midoriya guessed.
"That would be cool," Shoda said. "It wouldn't be surprising since the setting is literally on the Land of Enchantment."
"Who knows? Maybe we'll find out in the next story." Iida said.
01:25:26 - 01:25:34
Most of the audience chuckled at Coulson's sassy answer to Stark before he left the mansion. All of them wondered what was so special about New Mexico that it was more important than observing Stark's condition. Some of them went with Midoriya's guess while some ignored it since the mission was probably nothing.
01:25:34 - 01:25:53
"Prismatic Accelerator? I thought it was called the particle accelerator?" Shishida questioned.
"Stark must've invented a new version of the particle accelerator where it refracts energy from the prism," Melissa answered. "Then he's going to turn that prism with a handle to direct the energy beam towards the object in front of him to create the new element."
"Amazing! Stark really exceeds my expectations! He's really the God of Technology!" Hatsume complimented.
'Wow. What a bunch of brainiacs.' Kiddo mentally said before chuckling.
01:25:53 - 01:26:18
"Holy sh*t! That's too destructive!" Mineta yelled.
"Obviously. It's bunch of numerous particles being accelerated at the speed of light." Yaoyorozu said.
"This energy beam is similar to my Naval Laser by appearance. C'est si beau." Aoyama complimented.
"I don't know what you said but I agree!" Hatsume agreed.
01:26:18 - 01:26:40
When the chip emitted a glowish blue light exponentially, most of the audience covered their eyes while Dark Shadow felt pain from the light.
"Aaaah! It burns! It burns!" Dark Shadow cried.
"Calm down, Dark Shadow. It'll be over soon." Tokoyami reassured.
"The way you said it feels like you're going to murder him or something." Kaminari pointed out.
"That wouldn't be the first time." Koda mumbled.
01:26:40 - 01:26:46
The audience were speechless at the sight of the beautiful new element. The support item inventors were stunned in awe while the rest were staring at it without blinking.
"Unbelievable…" Melissa said.
"He created an armored flying suit that has multiple arsenals, and now, he has created a brand new element," Power Loader said. "He essentially became a legendary inventor like his father at this very moment."
"He already became a legend once he created the first ever Iron Man suit - The Mark I!" Hatsume reminded. "I wish he existed in our world. I would've loved him to be my sensei than my current sensei!"
"Guh. That was a critical attack," Power Loader said.'Although it isn't bad idea for someone to teach her other than me, it still hurts when she says it.'
01:26:46 - 01:26:50
"Of course. Why would he be surprised WHEN HE LITERALLY CREATED A NEW ELEMENT!?" Kaminari sarcastically asked.
Ashido giggled, "If aliens existed in that reality, he wouldn't even be surprise."
Kiddo blinked multiple times, 'Wow. I don't have any comment on that one.'
01:26:50 - 01:27:13
"It's so beautiful." Hatsume complimented.
"Is it possible to create the element in our world?" Sato asked.
"I don't think so… unless we have Stark's formula," Yaoyorozu answered. "It would've been cool though."
01:27:13 - 01:27:28
"He actually did it. He's going to be cured." Melissa said.
"Yeah! Mr. Stark will continue on being Iron Man again!" Eri cheerfully said which made everyone flutter.
Mirio smiled, "Yes, he will."
Shigaraki growled, "This isn't possible! He's cheating death yet again! He has humiliated me far too many times! He should've just die right there!"
"I don't think that's going to happen soon, boss." Dabi said while smirking.
"Shut up, scarface! He'll die soon! You'll see." Shigaraki said.
'You're about… 19 movies too early.' Kiddo mentally said.
01:27:28 - 01:27:33
"It looks like Whiplash, such a ridiculous name, has created a new arc reactor. Awesome." Kota sarcastically said.
"He has a plenty of resources to use thanks to Hammer so why wouldn't he immediately invent a new one?" Yaoyorozu said. "I'm more afraid by the fact it'll be stronger than what he invented before."
"What do you mean?" Kodai asked.
"Stark told him on how to improvise the arc reactor during their prison meeting," Yaoyorozu reminded which slightly frightened the heroes and students. "Because of the advice, the arc reactor that Vanko created is probably equally on par with the original."
"That's certainly bad." Hagakure said.
Aizawa sighed, "If only Stark didn't foolishly bragged about his intellect, his problems would've been lessen."
01:27:33 - 01:27:38
"Uh… you shouldn't be talking to a villain in front of the senator, bud," Mr. Compress said. "You would immediately be arrested if someone heard you mentioning his name."
"Like I said, Ivan is a common Russian name so I doubt the senator would know that Hammer is talking to the same villain who fought Iron Man in Monaco." Yaoyorozu said.
"Or… the senator knew it's the same villain that Hammer is talking to, but he doesn't care because he helped Whiplash escaped." Toga said.
"That's atrocious! What would the senator hoped to gain from helping Whiplash!?" Iida asked.
"Uhm… the Iron Man suits? Have you been paying attention to the story at all?" Spinner asked.
"He wouldn't stoop that low! The government officials wouldn't be so idiotic on working with villains!" Iida defended.
Spinner sighed from annoyance, "I guess you still don't understand the real world. Perhaps I should break your other arm as planned?"
Iida scoffed, "Try me, Raphael."
"Enough the two of you!" Aizawa and Kurogiri ordered as the two of them calm down before continuing with the story.
01:27:38 - 01:27:49
"Huh? What's the difference?" Tsuburaba asked about the difference between presentation and demonstration.
"A demonstration is designed to show directly how the tool or technique works while presentation presents information about the tool or technique that you discuss with or without demonstrating it." Yaoyorozu answered.
01:27:49 - 01:27:58
"So he can only make the drones salute? That isn't very helpful to Hammer." Power Loader said.
"At least it isn't that bad, right?" Melissa asked.
"Unfortunately, it is. He didn't say 'salute' but 'salyut'." Nezu answered.
"What's the difference?" Awase asked.
"Salyut is a Russian word for 'fireworks',"Nezu said as everyone widened their eyes from the realization. "Whiplash is probably saying that he can make the drones explode."
"That is certainly bad," Yaoyorozu said. "Hold on. You can speak Russian, sir?"
Nezu nodded, "Of course, but I'm not fluent with the language."
"Then did you understand what Vanko said when he met Hammer for the first time?" Yaoyorozu asked.
"Oh, I think it was 'If I'm killed, don't wake me. It is better to die than to live in your world'," Nezu answered Vanko. "That was what he said before."
"Huh. It sounds like he's saying that he doesn't deserve to breathe the same air as Hammer," Hatsume said. "And I completely agree with him!"
"I think you misinterpreted the meaning, but whatever, I'll go with that." Melissa said.
01:27:58 - 01:28:09
"Ho ho ho! It seems he made new bad babies," Hatsume complimented. "It seems they are stronger than his previous whips."
"No wonder why the drones aren't finished yet," Melissa said. "He's been busy making his own weapons for his second fight with Stark."
"It isn't surprising that the villain would've ulterior motives," Aizawa said. "Hammer should've been precautious around Vanko, but the fact he didn't is too idiotic. Even an amateur would know to be wary of villains."
"For once, I completely agree with you." Kurogiri agreed.
01:28:09 - 01:28:14
"He's whining like a child. I love it!" Hatsume said.
"Never trust a villain to help you with your work," Aizawa adviced. "They'll come back to bite the dust later on."
Midnight giggled, "Seriously?"
01:28:14 - 01:28:20
"Yeah, Hammer is definitely pissed." Kaminari said when Hammer was walking towards Vanko's room with two guards.
"I would be too if my hostage doesn't obey me," Shigaraki said. "In fact, I would've kill them. I like to hear them scream for help."
'Sheesh. And I thought the yandere girl was the only psychopath in the League.' Dabi mentally said.
01:28:20 - 01:28:35
"Honestly, I would be confused too if it weren't for Kiddo's information." Sato said when Hammer was confuse whether the bird was actually Vanko's or not.
01:28:35 - 01:28:48
"No! Don't harm the bird!" Hagakure begged.
"You monsters…" Koda mumbled.
"These men has to pay!" Uraraka said in a terrifying tone which made everyone felt unease.
'Yeah, it's best not tell them about Irina's fate.' Kiddo mentally said.
01:28:48 - 01:28:57
"Ugh. Do you really need all of those tattoos in your feet!?" Pixie-Bob complained. "Aren't the ones in your body already enough!?"
"This is why we let criminals keep their shoes," Naomasa said while his eyebrow is twitching. "We might never know whether their disgusting feet are covered with pointless tattoos or skin damage."
"Or when their feet are STINKY!" Makoto complained.
01:28:57 - 01:28:08
The audience were quite surprised when Hammer shouted at Vanko. Throughout the entire story, he has only been acting like a "gentleman" to Vanko, but he finally snapped after Vanko destroyed his expectations.
"Oh boy, Hammer finally snapped." Sero said.
"Finally! He's no longer acting like a nice man!" Hatsume said. "It was so irritating to listening his forceful words from his mouth!"
01:28:08 - 01:29:20
"Maybe if you give him time then he'll deliver, asshole!" Hatsume yelled.
"I'm pretty sure Vanko wouldn't bother on finishing the drones even if he was given an extended time," Power Loader said. "Also, many days has passed since his escaped so Vanko should've at least finished numerous drones before the deadline arrived… if he has the same intellect as Stark's."
01:29:20 - 01:29:34
"He must be talking about the Mark II." Midoriya said.
"I can't take him seriously when he's threatening Vanko," Melissa said while holding her laughter. "He doesn't have the… intimidation to scare Vanko."
"Yeah, it's like a child threatening an adult to give him a toy." Shinso said.
"That's a good comparison." Bondo said.
01:29:34 - 01:29:53
"What did he say, principal?" Yaoyorozu asked.
Nezu giggled, "He said that Hammer talks too much."
Most of the audience laughed at the translation. They were glad that they weren't the ones found Hammer annoying whenever he talks.
"Heck yeah, he does!" Hatsume agreed. "I may dislike Vanko because he tried to kill my hero, but it doesn't mean that I dislike his insults to Hammer."
"I'm not going to lie. That was a good one." Power Loader said.
01:29:53 - 01:30:00
"Please. Spare us the thought." Pixie-Bob said in disgust when Hammer said that he'll probably get laid.
"I prefer having a one-night stand with Stark rather than you, mister." Midnight said.
"What's one night…?" Eri innocently asked before she was cut off by Mirio.
"Ah! Would you like to try apple candy later, Eri!?" Mirio immediately asked.
Eri nodded, "Yes!"
'Thank God her innocence wasn't destroyed!' Most of the audience mentally said before they glared at Midnight.
"S-Sorry…" Midnight apologized.
01:30:00 - 01:30:06
Bakugo scoffed, "Seriously? I could take them down without using my Quirk!"
"Yeah, they don't look much of a bodyguard," Kirishima agreed. "He should've hired a brute or something."
01:30:06 - 01:30:20
"Can we all agree that Hammer is officially a villain after that last part?" Hatsume asked.
"He broke someone else's torso albeit unintentionally, he broke a villain out of prison which killed two people, he illegally hid him in a warehouse filled with Iron Man knockoffs, and he's threatening him with murder," Naomasa said while clenching his fists. "If that isn't a work of a villain then I don't know what is."
"A psychopath." Aizawa answered.
"Hey, don't compare every psychopaths with him!" Toga defended.
01:30:20 - 01:30:32
"Yep. They're dead." Dabi said.
"They're hopelessly and hilariously outmatched against Whiplash." Spinner said.
"Do you think Vanko will win against the two of them ribbit?" Asui asked.
"Considering he's strong enough to take hits from a car and easily snapped someone's neck, I wouldn't be surprised if he managed to finish them all immediately." Mr. Compress answered.
01:30:32 - 01:30:42
"Oh yeah, I forgot that he was unable to call anyone else because of S.H.I.E.L.D." Midoriya said. "I wonder who's calling him."
"It's probably Coulson as usual." Natsuo answered.
"I thought he was busy with his new mission," Ashido said. "Well, I guess we'll get to hear his progress report."
"The caller isn't Agent Coulson," Nezu said as everyone stared at him. "You already know who it is."
The audience realized that the caller was none other than…
01:30:42 - 01:30:50
…Ivan Vanko, also known as Whiplash, a B-Rank Villain in terms of tenacity and intelligence.
"The villain has returned to bring despair to Stark!" Shigaraki said before smirking. "If the palladium poisoning doesn't kill him then a villain will!"
"How in the world does he even have his phone number!?" Mineta asked but nobody knows as well.
"More importantly, he already dealt with the guards meaning…" Yaoyorozu said before she covered her mouth as everyone realized what she was going to say.
01:30:50 - 01:30:55
Most of the audience covered their mouths from shock when they saw the two "babysitters" being hanged on the ceiling with a broken neck. Mirio and Midoriya immediately covered the two children's eyes while the villains admired the killing method.
"T-That's horrible…" Uraraka said in a weakly tone.
"There's barely any scratch on him…" Kirishima said. "If he had a strength Quirk, he'll be a terrifying villain… like Rappa and Muscular."
Kota, whose eyes are still covered by Midoriya, flinched when Kirishima mentioned his parents' killer. He preferred if everyone on Earth forgot about the psychopathic villain, or else, he'll probably do something horrible to the killer in the future.
"Those deaths are on Hammer's hands," Naomasa said. "If he didn't broke Whiplash out of prison, these poor guards wouldn't have been killed."
"Hammer is truly a wicked person," All Might said. "He'll help a villain escape in order to achieve his goals, and as a result, many innocent people die because of it. He deserves to be locked up forever."
"May them rest in piece." Shiozaki prayed.
01:30:55 - 01:31:03
"Nice. Trace the origins of the call while he's still currently blabbering nonsensical stuff." Aizawa complimented.
"But Vanko is smart enough to notice that so he's probably going to make the call short unless Stark manages to find him in time." Nezu said.
01:31:03 - 01:31:06
"What are you talking about!? The great minds of the Stark Family are used for improving technology around the world!" Hatsume defended. "They are great men who used their weapons for peace instead of war!"
"Yeah, but he doesn't see it that way, Hatsume," Power Loader said. "He has been living in a dump for all those years, so his anger wouldn't be diminished even if you explain it wholeheartedly to him."
01:31:06 - 01:31:20
"Oh please, get over your daddy issues," Hatsume angrily said. "Your old man betrayed Howard Stark because he sold his weapons to the enemies! It isn't Howard's fault, and it definitely isn't Tony's! Your father was the reason why you lived in a hellish place! You're basically a man-child!"
Shigaraki growled, 'Man-child!? I f*cking hate that word!'
"He only cares about avenging his father and nothing more," Iida said. 'I had a similar situation with him. If I succeeded in killing Stain, I would've been arrested and punished for my actions.'
"This is why we must be careful when persuading a villain that could potentially be a parent," Aizawa said. "We wouldn't want a child to develop hatred towards the government or the heroes because their parents were once villains."
"Oh please," Toga rolled her eyes. "You would catch them immediately. Why would you waste your breath to understand us?"
"Because I'm an underground hero, we operate differently than the usual Pro Heroes from above," Aizawa answered. "We learn, we wait, and then we apprehend villains."
Toga scoffed, "Liar. All 'righteous' heroes operate the same."
"Then you don't understand that most heroes aren't wicked as you thought, child." Aizawa counter argued which almost made Toga pull out her knife.
01:31:20 - 01:31:26
'That's where Stark Expo is located.' Midoriya mentally said as his eyes widened in horror. 'There's going to be a bloodbath if Iron Man doesn't stop him!'
01:31:26 - 01:31:34
"I told you he will keep the call short," Nezu said. "He wouldn't be stupid enough to reveal his location early without a big event."
"He's smart," Kurogiri complimented. "He would definitely be useful as a technician to the League."
"If he succeeds on killing All Might and Iron Man then I'll immediately hire him." Shigaraki said.
"That's an impossible assignment, besides, I don't think he'll ever consider joining the League," Dabi said. "His only motive is avenging his old man and destroy his enemy's legacy. After that, he'll probably commit seppeku or surrender himself to the law."
01:31:34 - 01:31:41
"Stark still knows where Vanko is going to be," Sato said when Stark was staring at the article of Justin Hammer in Stark Expo. "And he probably knows that Hammer is aiding him so that's a plus."
"He just needs to get there fast before all hell breaks loose," Shoto said which made most of his classmates giggled. "What?"
"It's nothing. You just made a pun." Ashido answered.
'Pun? What is a pun?' Shoto mentally asked.
01:31:41 - 01:31:53
Ashido gasped, "The black lines! They're disappearing!"
"He's going to be cured! Hooray!" Hagakure cheered.
"Goddamn it!" Shigaraki yelled while Dabi silently laughed at his boss' disappointment.
01:31:53 - 01:31:58
Most of the audience chuckled when Stark said that the element tasted like coconut and metal while the geniuses were concerned.
"I'm not sure if that's a good sign." Power Loader said.
"It's fine, sensei! As long as Stark is healthy then it doesn't matter!" Hatsume reassured.
01:31:58 - 01:32:03
"Iron Man is officially back, baby!" Hatsume yelled.
"Yeaaah! Go kick that Russian man's ass, Iron Man!" Kirishima and Tetsutetsu cheered.
"Go, go, Iron Man!" Eri cheered which made everyone fluttered.
'Stop cheering for the damn hero!' Shigaraki mentally yelled while aggressively scratching his neck. 'He will die soon! Whiplash will kill him and I would enjoy every single moment of it! You're going to die soon, iron f*cker!'
01:32:03 - 01:32:27
"Stark better hurry up, otherwise, his closest allies will be in danger," Shoto said. "Although, I'm not sure if I count Natasha Romanoff as his closest ally."
Meanwhile, the boys were ogling at the sight of Natasha who was wearing a black dress. It suits her more than white or red dresses she wore before.
"Lovely dress even though it's too black." Yaoyorozu complimented.
"I love it." Tokoyami and Kuroiro said in unuson
01:32:27 - 01:32:40
The audience were dumbfounded and cringed at the same time when Justin Hammer was dancing. They then bursted into laughter which caused most of them to fall on the floor while others kept punching their armchair.
"What… in the nine spheres of hell… is he doing!?" Natsuo asked while laughing.
"That's so stupid…!" Hatsume yelled.
"This is too hilarious!" Pixie-Bob yelled.
"So s-stupid…" Aizawa said while holding his smile and laughter.
"He puts all professional dancers to shame." Ashido cringed.
01:32:40 - 01:33:07
"I don't know what he's trying to achieve but it's basically impossible to give everyone a suit," Shinso said as everyone stared at him in confusion. "He's making the people to feel reassured that they're getting their own Iron Man suits as if it's a talk show."
"Yeah, I doubt the people in Hammer Industries or the government would willingly give their valuable suits to commoners," Kurogiri said. "Only the wealthiest people on Earth could afford it. And if they do, there will be a lot of chaos."
"This is why Stark prevents his suits from reaching to government's hands," Spinner said. "Do you understand now, false heroes?"
Vlad scoffed, "I still support the government to own the suits instead of some arrogant brat."
'You're acting like a childish brat more than Bakugo, Vlad.'Aizawa mentally said.
01:33:07 - 01:33:25
The audience were dumbfounded when Hammer told everyone that the press conference were running out of ink.
Hatsume laughed, "That is so pathetic! Is he trying to be Tony Stark!? He definitely doesn't have his style! Oh My God, he's so pathetic. I wonder how many times he practiced that same line in front of a mirror!?"
Most of the audience then laughed with her while others were disappointed with the speech. The villains were even laughing at the horrible joke, including Shigaraki and All For One who are holding their laughter.
Aizawa sighed, "Yeah, I would prefer listening to All Might's corny heroic speech rather than some guy who pretends to be someone else."
"Yea-corny!?" All Might questioned.
01:33:25 - 01:33:52
"Stark wanted to prevent his suits from becoming weapons of war, yet his incompetent rival wanted his… drones to become a weapon that America needs." Shoto said.
"Eh. They're useless anyway so I wouldn't worry too much." Hatsume reassured.
"It doesn't mean we shouldn't worry if the drones actually worked one day." Power Loader said as he observed the power source of the drones. 'Are those the actual arc reactors that Vanko made or are they replicas since he didn't make it?'
01:33:52 - 01:33:54
"The two of them are worried." Fuyumi said.
"Of course they're worried!" Hatsume yelled. "Hammer basically copied the arc reactors! This should be illegal!"
Toga scoffed, "Like the government cares about the legal issue."
01:33:54 - 01:34:32
"I must admit, they look quite appealing," Power Loader complimented the design and purpose of the drones. "All different types of drones for each branch of the military."
"Wasn't there a fifth one? What was it called?" Kaminari asked.
"Coast Guard," Yaoyorozu answered. "That's kinda weird, but maybe they didn't have time to modify the remaining drones for the fifth branch or maybe it's because the showcase was a presentation, not a demonstration. If the presentation is successful, the people will support and fund them to create more drones for the military."
"I hope it's successful, their country needs more protection when new dangers arise." Vlad said.
"What if the suits were on the wrong hands, Vlad? Can you still call that protection?" Spinner asked.
"Shut up, villain scum. The military will deal with the villain that abuses the powers like Stark," Vlad retorted. "I have faith in the military. They're the current heroes of that reality."
"Like you had faith in Blonsky?" Spinner questioned which made Vlad grumbled. "You are clearly blinded from the truth. All you see in heroism is strength instead of actual heroic actions. You're nothing but a spoiled brat."
"Why are you defending Stark when you claimed that he isn't a 'true' hero?" Vlad asked. "You're also a hypocrite to your own goals."
"Excuse me? I never saw him as a true hero… yet, but I trust him more on using the suits rather than the unfaithful government." Spinner answered as Vlad angrily stood up.
"Calm down, Vlad. He's just provoking you." Aizawa said.
"Hmph." Vlad said as he sat back down while Spinner was grinning.
01:34:32 - 01:34:34
"Those two are really unha-" Kaminari was cut off by Jiro.
"Yeah, we know that already." Jiro said.
01:34:34 - 01:34:41
"He really wants to beat Stark," Hatsume said which laughing. "You're nothing but a back twisting fraud, Hammer! Those aren't even your creations anymore, they're Vanko's."
"Also, cheerleaders are WAY better than some drones!" Mineta angrily stated.
"Y-Yeah… that too, I guess…" Hatsume slightly agreed.
01:34:41 - 01:34:47
"Oh no… Vanko is going to hack the drones." Midoriya said.
"Wait… what!? Why would he!?" Uraraka asked. "Didn't he say that the drones can only salute!?"
"When wouldn't a villain lie? They would rather hide their trump cards instead of revealing them early on." Aizawa said.
"It's what we do best." Dabi said.
01:34:47 - 01:35:04
"Wait. What the heck did he say!?" Hatsume cried out.
"Is Hammer claiming the ownership of the Mark II suit by renaming it?" Awase asked when Hammer renamed the suit the "JRXL-1000 Variable Threat Response Battle Suit".
"Yes, he did!" Hatsume angrily answered. "That damn dirty thief! You think by adding those badass babies earlier that you claimed that the suit is your's!? Not a fat chance, douchebag!"
'I think you're currently acting more like a douchebag than him, Hatsume.' Power Loader mentally said.
"I don't like Hammer. He's a mean thief." Eri said.
"It's alright, Eri. He'll be arrested soon." Mirio reassured. 'I hope that he'll be arrested! He can't afford to be free when has killed a lot of people by setting Whiplash free!'
01:35:04 - 01:35:18
The audience were surprised by the newly and improved appearance of the Mark II suit.
"Holy moly, that suit looks like a badass!" Kirishima complimented.
"I know, right!? I prefer this design than Iron Man's!" Tetsutetsu agreed.
Power Loader and Melissa were impressed with the dark bulky armor and the various firearms that was installed in the upgraded Mark II suit. Hatsume also found it impressive despite her hatred for Hammer.
"I-I'll give H-H-Hammer on that one…" Hatsume complimented.
'Awesome design. It is definitely much better than Iron Man's.' Kota mentally complimented.
"Rhodey finally achieved his promise of wearing the suit," Uraraka said. "But I don't think he expected to wear it for presentation and fighting his best friend."
"Mr. Rhodey looks so cool, but I'm a bit afraid…" Eri complimented.
"You'll probably get used to it, Eri."
Aizawa stared Present Mic, "Are you going to announce his codename or something?"
"Sorry. The card is still empty." Present Mic answered.
01:35:18 - 01:35:25
"Well, at least he didn't lie about the 'salute' part… even though he actually meant 'salyut'." Makoto said.
"There's going to be a lot of fireworks once Vanko has finished hacking the drones." Mandalay said.
"And it's going to be… fantastic." Mr. Compress said as everyone stared at him. "What? I love Doctor Who when I was a child! It's such a classic television series."
"A self-proclaimed magician loves a sci-fi show? That's a bit surprising." Spinner said.
"How dare you, mister? Is there a problem loving both genres?" Mr. Compress asked but nobody answered.
01:35:25 - 01:35:31
Once everyone heard the familiar whooshing sound, they immediately knew it was The Armored Hero.
01:35:31 - 01:35:45
Most of the audience cheered from the Iron Man entrance while Shigaraki was aggressively scratching his neck. The heroes were glad that he arrived in time before Vanko could unleash an army of drones, which made them wonder on where Vanko is currently located. Is he back in the facility?
Aizawa scoffed while smirking, 'Such a show-off.'
"That was a manly entrance!" Kirishima complimented. "There are no heroes who can top that, except for All Might and Crimson Riot."
"Thanks for the compliment, young Kirishima." All Might said.
"I like the new chest piece," Melissa complimented. "I'm guessing that the new suit he's wearing is the Mark VI."
"I don't like the triangular chest piece," Hatsume said. "I prefer the circular design, but I'm super excited for the new baby's capabilities!"
"I don't think the arsenal changed that much, Hatsume," Power Loader said. "I'm pretty sure the new suit is only made for handling the new element."
"How did he managed to make a new suit though?" Shoto asked. "Did he built it beforehand once he discovered about the new element or did he quickly built it while taking a supersonic private plane?"
"I have no idea, but at least he already made a suit." Melissa answered.
01:35:45 - 01:35:51
"He probably thought that his friend would fight him again." Tsunotori said.
"They kicked each other's asses the last time they saw each other so… they aren't really on right terms currently." Kamikiri said.
01:35:51 - 01:35:55
"You won't be cheering for long, Hammer!" Hatsume yelled. "Stark is on to you as well! You'll be arrested once he calls the authorities!"
"Considering he has a bunch of replicated arc reactors implanted on the functional drones, it isn't hard to figure out that Vanko made them," Naomasa said. "But I don't think he has enough evidence to fully arrest Hammer."
"Unless his accomplices and butler reveal the truth," Aizawa said. "They would rather confess their crimes and tell the court everything in order to reduce their prison sentence instead of showing loyalty to their incompetent employer."
01:35:55 - 01:36:00
Most of the audience flinched when Rhodey reminded Stark that he was tossed around his house. They remembered that Rhodey was constantly being tossed around more than Stark. It was probably because Stark was wearing Mark IV while Rhodey was wearing Mark II so the strength and durability of the two armors are vastly different from each other.
01:36:00 - 01:36:06
"Unfortunately." Naomasa said while clenching his fists when Stark told Rhodey that Vanko is alive.
"He would've been sent back to Moscow if it weren't for Hammer," Makoto said. "That damn rodent, innocent people died because of him!"
"I can't wait for his arrest!" Hatsume said.
01:36:06 - 01:36:12
Hatsume giggled, "I guess you never expected to hear that name from a hero instead from your own men huh, Hammer?"
"The way he respond is too obvious," Aizawa said. "It's probably because he never expected this scenario."
"If he thinks he can get away from the law then he's dead wrong." Naomasa said.
01:36:12 - 01:36:16
"It's his event! Why wouldn't he be there!?" Hatsume asked. "He could sue your for stealing his tech, you know!?"
'I don't think that's how lawsuit works…' Shinso mentally said. 'Is it? I already forgot all the lessons from the General Education because it was a bit boring.'
"He's desperately trying to find a way to conceal the truth." Thirteen said.
"Fortunately, he isn't doing a very good job at it." Aizawa said.
01:36:16 - 01:36:21
The audience were surprised that Vanko could control the improved Mark II suit.
"He can also control Rhodey's suit!? How!?" Kaminari asked.
"Hammer. He probably 'upgraded' the software while implanting the weapons!' Hatsume answered. "That bastard! He managed to touch the software after all!"
"And because of that, Rhodey is controlling the suit unwillingly," Melissa said. "The two of them are going to fight each other again!"
"Unbelievable! They were beginning to reconcile their friendship, yet Rhodey is being forced to fight against his will! You'll pay for that Whiplash… and Hammer!" Ashido said.
01:36:21 - 01:36:25
"Rhodey can't do anything." Melissa pitied.
"No, this can't be happening," Uraraka said. "This is like the incident in I-Island again."
"Except the robots can fly and one of them is your best friend." Jiro added.
Shigaraki laughed, "Amazing! The best friend of Stark and an army of drones is going to kill Iron Man! My birthday must've come early!"
'Your birthday was a month ago, Tomura.' All For One mentally reminded.
(Tomura Shigaraki was born in April 4 and the MHA characters were kidnapped in May 18 chronologically.)
01:36:25 - 01:36:41
"That's smart. He must take the fight somewhere else to avoid collateral damage," All Might said. "Although, I'm a bit worried whether some of the civilians were injured from the shards."
"They're fine as long as their injuries aren't too fatal." Recovery Girl said. "Stark should be careful next time, and maybe consider on replacing the glass windows with bulletproof glass next time."
01:36:41 - 01:36:55
"Don't worry, Rhodey! You'll gain control soon!" Hagakure reassured.
"I hope so. I don't want two friends fighting each other again." Tsunotori said.
"I hope Mr. Rhodey is fine." Eri quietly said.
"He'll be fine, Eri. Iron Man will save him." Nejire reassured.
01:36:55 - 01:37:01
"That's smart," Power Loader said. "If J.A.R.V.I.S. can hack Rhodey's suit then the two of them can work together."
"Cool! An Iron Man team up!" Kirishima said.
"Although the way he say was a bit… gross," Yaoyorozu mumbled when Stark said that he needs to own Rhodey which made her sigh. 'My mind is probably corrupted because of the perverts.'
01:37:01 - 01:37:08
"Who else would he be locked on, Stark?" Kaminari said.
"Uhm… the people on the ground?" Kendo answered. "Stark was worried at the thought of civilians being gunned down by killer drones."
"WOW! I THOUGHT YOU WERE A GENIUS BECAUSE YOU'RE IN THE INFAMOUS CLASS 1-A! THIS IS WHY WE CLASS 1-B AR-!" Monoma was cut off when Kendo knocked him out.
"Sorry about that again." Kendo apologized.
"No worries." Kaminari replied.
'Perhaps I should introduce Monoma to the therapist,' Nezu mentally said. 'She'll probably help him to forget his obsession with the Class 1-A.'
"Thank goodness that Vanko is too hellbent in destroying Stark and his legacy rather than focusing on the civilians," Iida reassured everyone. "But he'll probably execute it if Stark keeps on flying in the air, which would make Stark immediately drop his guard to save the civilians."
"Thanks for giving us reassurance and uneasiness at the same time, president." Sato sarcastically said which made Iida feel guilty.
"I'm sorry for being a blabbermouth." Iida apologized.
01:37:08 - 01:37:22
Aizawa sighed, "Please stay away from any buildings, Stark. You'll injure more people in the process."
"Honestly, they should've run away immediately when a bunch of killer drones are chasing a hero," Naomasa said. "I guess they're probably unaware of the current event."
01:37:22 - 01:37:32
"While Iron Man is occupied with the drones and his best friend in the air, the drones from below are on the move." Shoto said.
"He can't focused on two… three parties at the same time," All Might said. "He needs help but there are no other heroes that could help him."
"What about Hulk?" Kaminari asked as everyone stared at him. "Yeah, nevermind. That's actually a bad idea."
Toga scoffed, 'Why would Brucey and Hulky help anyway? That was only one time they acted like hero and it was only because of Betty.'
01:37:32 - 01:37:35
"It means your software is sh*t, dipsh*t." Hatsume answered. "Vanko literally hacked it last time! Did you forget!?"
Aizawa sighed, "I can't believe he's such a fool."
"And this is why our bots in U.A. are unhackable thanks to the Hero Public Safety Commission and the Support Companies." Nezu said.
'I'm pretty sure they are as La Brava almost hacked the strict… no… stricter security of U.A. if it weren't for Deku.'Kiddo mentally said.
01:37:35 - 01:37:38
"Impossible? You literally saw him hacking and you're saying it's impossible?" Melissa questioned before facepalming. "Unbelievable. He didn't even try to update his computer systems."
"He probably thought that Vanko wouldn't beat his 'babysitters' easily so he was confident that nothing would ever go wrong," Power Loader said. "And because of that, it led to his downfall."
"His downfall already began when he freed Vanko from prison." Aizawa said.
01:37:38 - 01:37:44
"You shouldn't have trusted a villain Hammer, and because of that, you'll have to pay a price." Naomasa said.
"I almost feel bad for how dumb he is." Yaoyorozu said.
"Who would even trust a villain? They're out of their minds!" Mineta yelled.
"Hey, we can be trustworthy… when we need to…" Toga answered.
01:37:44 - 01:37:46
"You're in trouble now, Hammer." Sero said when Pepper asked who locked him out of the mainframe.
"I'm quite amazed that the two of them didn't evacuate with the civilians." Fuyumi said.
"They were suspicious of him since the beginning so why wouldn't they expose the incompetent bastard? They'll lose their chance on arresting him for good." Hatsume said.
"And Romanoff is a spy so she would've exposed him later anyway." Kuroiro said.
01:37:46 - 01:37:53
"Seriously? That must be the weakest and basic attempt to blame someone else," Aizawa said. "I've heard better lies than that."
"Yeah, his logic wouldn't work either," Power Loader said. "He's saying that Vanko programmed the drones to attack Stark, and if he weren't in the Expo, then they wouldn't have attacked which doesn't make any sense."
"If Iron Man didn't came in time, Vanko would've used the Hammer Drones by killing a bunch of civilians just to lure Iron Man," Snipe said. "There would have been a lot of bloody casualties in the Expo."
"I wish I could've seen the splattered blood." Toga pouted.
"Well, Hammer would be arrested anyway so it doesn't matter whether he's pinning the blame on someone else." Melissa reassured.
01:37:53 - 01:37:57
The women in the audience twitched their eyebrows when Hammer called Pepper and Natasha "b*tches".
"Excuse me?" Fuyumi angrily questioned.
"Okay, somebody teach this sexist some respect to women!" Kendo said as her hands were enlarged which surprised everyone, including Bakugo. 'Oh? I can use my Quirk. That's a bit unexpected.'
"I can't believe there is still some vulgar men who insults the opposite gender," Yaoyorozu said. "At least Mineta and Kaminari are a bit respectful to women."
'I can't tell whether that was supposed to be a compliment or not.' Mineta and Kaminari mentally said.
'I recommend the readers, who are manga / manhwa readers, to read They Say I Was Born A King's Daughter,'Kiddo mentally said as he glares at the readers. 'It's an amazing story where a woman was reincarnated in a world where women are discriminated. It involves magic, romance, and friendship by the way. Wait a minute, I'm getting off topic now.'
01:37:57 - 01:38:00
The women were quite surprised when Natasha aggressive slammed Hammer's face on the table.
"Jeez. She's such a savage." Ashido complimented.
"I would've the same if I was in her position." Uraraka said.
"You're not the only one." All the women agreed.
'They're terrifying!' Mineta mentally yelled as he imagined them being covered with shadow with giant red eyes.
01:38:00 - 01:38:11
"You got what you deserve, Hammer!" Hatsume said. "And it'll get worse soon."
01:38:11 - 01:38:17
"She has the right to call the authorities and you have no right to argue." Naomasa said.
"He would've avoided being arrested if his mind wasn't overtaken by greed and selfishness." Melissa said.
'He's such a p*ssy. He's the type that will beg for his life and he'll do something in return.' Shigaraki mentally said.
01:38:17 - 01:38:22
"Way to take the charge, Pepper." Hagakure complimented.
"This is why she's the perfect choice as the CEO of Stark Industries," Yaoyorozu complimented. "Her qualifications exceeds more than most businessmen."
01:38:22 - 01:38:28
"And the chase between Iron Man, Rhodey, and the drones ensues." Honenuki said.
"Why is he still in the Expo? He should take the fight somewhere e…" Aizawa said before realizing the problem. "Nevermind. It's a bad idea to leave other drones on the ground."
"Man, Vanko is such a mastermind." Kirishima said.
'No. Mastermind is Jason Wyngarde… oh wait… he's talking about the word 'mastermind'. My bad.' Kiddo mentally said.
01:38:28 - 01:38:33
"Darn it!" Tokage yelled. "Wait. I thought J.A.R.V.I.S. could hack anything. Why is he unable to hack the Mark II?"
"It's probably because the suit systems are remotely tied to Vanko's computer instead of Stark's," Yaoyorozu answered. "Also, the communication systems are down in Hammer Industries so it's impossible for J.A.R.V.I.S. to find another way to hack in."
"Damn! There's no other choice but for them to fight each other until Rhodey regains control of the baby." Hatsume said.
"No. I don't want to see Mr. Stark and Mr. Rhodey fight again…" Eri said as Nejire hugs her for reassurance.
01:38:33 - 01:38:44
The heroes and students were fuming in anger that they couldn't do anything to help the civilians and disrupt the chaos and destruction. All Might, Midoriya, and Mirio were the ones with the most anger as they are unable to save the civilians. All they could do was watch.
Meanwhile, the villains were enjoying the chaos and destruction that Vanko caused. They loved to see the heroes' reaction of despair and hopelessness. They applauded Vanko for his amazing work, except for Spinner who wished for the people to be unharmed. He doesn't see Iron Man as a true hero yet because of his previous actions throughout the story, but he secretly hopes that he'll save the civilians from the killer drones.
01:38:44 - 01:38:48
"How is he proud of the destruction he caused!? He's really a twisted villain!" Tetsutetsu yelled.
"Yeah, he isn't a man! He's a coward!" Kirishima yelled.
"He clearly listened to Hammer about destroying Stark's legacy," Shinso said. "He's fulfilling the advice. He's ruining his legacy and ruining his life."
"That isn't going to work… because Iron Man will succeed." Midoriya said.
"I hope so." Shinso agreed.
01:38:48 - 01:38:54
"What do you mean what's going? Can you not hear the people screaming and running away in terror?" Jiro asked.
"Happy doesn't know the full context of the event since he was just a bodyguard waiting in the car." Tsunotori answered.
01:38:54 - 01:38:56
"Ooo~ Are we going to see Romanoff kicking asses!?" Uraraka excitedly asked.
"I hope so. I want to see her fighting style and techniques." Midnight answered.
'Since she's a spy, she must've a lot of training,' Aizawa mentally said. 'If she manages to impress me, she has potential on learning my capturing scarf like Shinso.'
01:38:56 - 01:39:02
Most of the audience chuckled when Happy was driving when he was insistent at first.
"That was a nice reversal." Shoji said.
"I guess he didn't want anyone to drive his car." Komori said.
"I mean, I wouldn't trust you driving my car either even if we're friends." Awase said which slightly hurt the mushroom heroine.
01:39:02 - 01:39:18
"Iron Man is already dealing with the flyers, and now, he'll have to deal with the grounders! Can't he catch a break!?" Kaminari asked.
"Vanko doesn't want to give his enemy time to rest because he'll sends his remaining drones once Iron Man is exhausted." Midoriya answered.
"That was rhetorical question! I didn't need to know that!" Kaminari yelled.
"The battle is getting more stressful than ever." Thirteen said.
01:39:18 - 01:39:27
"That was too close, Stark! The civilians might've been injured from the fallen drone if it weren't for luck!" Vlad criticized.
"I'm pretty sure he was unaware that the ground drones managed to hit a flight drone," Thirteen defened. "But he should be careful about civilian casualties next time."
"The civilian casualties and collateral damage would've been lessen if the fight was taken somewhere else, but the other drones aren't following him so he has no choice," Nezu said. "Vanko is indeed smart when it comes to planning, but I would've foiled it if I was there."
'Of course, you would! It's impossible to beat you!' Ashido and Kaminari mentally yelled.
01:39:27 - 01:39:33
"Great. He's sending more killer drones. Awesome." Melissa sarcastically said.
"How many drones does he have in his possessions!?" Mineta asked.
"I didn't count the killer babies so I don't know." Hatsume answered.
01:39:33 - 01:39:42
"Vanko is purposely directing the drones at the civilians so that Iron Man would save them. That damn villain!" All Might said.
01:39:42 - 01:39:50
The audience were surprised when the little boy wearing an Iron Man helmet from the beginning wasn't running away from the drone. The heroes and students were worried for his safety.
"What is the kid doing!? He has to run!" Iida yelled.
"He's being a hero." Midoriya and All Might mumbled which made Bakugo remembered the day when Midoriya recklessly "saved" him from The Sludge Villain.
01:39:50 - 01:39:56
"NOOO!" The audience yelled.
"The drone is mistaking the boy for Iron Man because of the helmet!" Uraraka worriedly yelled.
'Why isn't he running away?' Kota mentally asked. 'He's about the same age as me, yet he isn't afraid of the drone while I was terrified when I saw my parents' killer. Am I a coward?'
'I feel bad for the kid. He isn't the only one who witnessed their parents' deaths before their very eyes,' Kiddo mentally said as he remembered his previous life's parents were killed in a car crash because he was in a middle of the road. 'Hey, at least I got to meet them in Heaven again, but it was still traumatizing to remember.'
Spinner smiled, 'This kid. He doesn't run away when there's a threat in front of him. He already has an essence of a true hero, but I'm worried that he's going to die because of that!'
Aizawa sighed, "This is why I sometimes hate kids. They're too stubborn to know that they're in danger, but I respect his bravery. He has potential to become a hero."
"Why are you so calm!?" Present Mic asked.
"Because…"
01:39:56 - 01:40:03
"…Iron Man will save him anyway." Aizawa answered.
"Nice job, Iron Man!" Tetsutetsu cheered.
Fuyumi sighed in relief, "My heart was beating so fast…"
"It was nice of him praising the kid for his bravery. An action of a hero to their loyal fans," All Might complimented. 'It reminded me when I praised Midoriya for his heroic actions when he attempted to save Bakugo from The Sludge Villain despite being Quirkless at that time. As Aizawa said, that kid has potential to become a hero.'
"I'm very grateful he saved the kid, but I still don't see him as a true hero yet." Spinner said.
01:40:03 - 01:40:10
"Couldn't you have done that earlier?" Kaminari questioned when Stark wanted to get the drones away from the Expo.
"Yes, but there were still drones on the ground so he couldn't risk it ribbit," Asui answered. "But since all of the ground drones are currently following him, he doesn't have to worry about the civilians for now."
